542. Chapter 542 Scene 542 In My Domain
At this time, Li's mother's chattering voice came from the phone: "What do you think of these big principles? Xiaole, you are not used to eating in the United States recently. Do you want your mother to go over and cook for you? Don't be afraid. My mother's high school classmate is now working as a lawyer in the United States. I'll ask her to help you sue."
"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, don't worry about me. Mom, just dance with the aunts at home and don't suffer in the United States. I can handle this matter well." Li Xiaole originally thought about how to make the two elders feel at ease, but he didn't expect that his parents were more open-minded than him. As expected, the mentality of the working people was different, and his mood immediately became broadened.
Just heard Li's mother muttering on the other end: "I really don't want me to go... There is no one in the United States to take care of you, and He Yatou is busy all day and night. When will you do your business..."
"Have you finished speaking, I'll talk..." Li's father couldn't hold it in his voice and answered the phone in a deep voice: "Xiaole, what difficulties will happen in the future and what will you feel comfortable in your heart? Don't bear it alone. Tell us about discussing and solving the problem for the whole family. We will help you with the big things."
Li Xiaole couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, I'm afraid that I'll tell you that you can't stand the destruction."
"You are underestimating your father. When you were a child, you burned my set of Lenin commemorative stamps. I was not angry. Do I feel sorry for you and that set of baby stamps?"
Li's father laughed, and Li Xiaole couldn't help but smile, and then heard his father sighing suddenly: "Xiaole, if you want to make American movies, that is your ideal. A man needs an ideal in his life. For the ideal, you will definitely suffer a lot and have many grievances. I believe you can hold on, but you also need to know that your mother and I will always support you. If you are tired one day, as long as you need us, we will fly to the United States immediately to help you do things and do things. We can do anything..."
"Dad, mom, I understand..." Li Xiaole's heart felt warm. He could truly feel the power his parents gave him behind him...
After chatting with his parents for a long time, Li Xiaole explained for a long time and finally eliminated their worries before he finished the call. He had just hung up, but before he could pour a glass of water, he saw Lei Ting wearing a black leather jacket walking over from a distance and threw a stack of documents on the table.
"Sister Little Lei... how are you doing?" Li Xiaole immediately asked with his eyes wide open when he saw it was Lei Ting.
"Oh... It seems that you are very nervous, and you actually called me Sister Lei? Yes, you guessed it right again. Human hearts are indeed sinister. You are indeed targeted by someone. Shouldn't you be happy?" Lei Ting looked at him and said coldly, but her tone was faintly light.
"Yes, when encountering such a thing, you should celebrate happily. So Sister Tingting, do you need me to warm the bed tonight..." Li Xiaole tilted his head and laughed.
"Get out~~!" Lei Ting said speechlessly:
"I won't talk to you anymore, let's talk to you about the situation. Two infringement cases, Baokai Game Company's lawsuit "Plant vs. Zombies" plagiarized their "Seeds". I checked it. The two games are indeed a bit similar, but our games are much more perfect than their designs. They don't have the core creativity that collects sunshine, so as long as we find a good legal team, there is no big problem.
As for the cartoonist Tony Moore, it was really a bit troublesome. He was indeed involved in the early production of "The Walking Dead", and he only reached a verbal agreement with Robert Kirkman, and the original information did not... I'm afraid it would be entangled for a while..."
"Well, it's good that there is no legal problem." Li Xiaole put down a big stone in his heart. He was used to it in China and was not good at Americans like to use this routine. Damn... Sony, Fox and other people have raised a team of "Fangzhouzi"... specifically to trick their competitors into making a living.
"It's not a legal issue now, but a reputation issue." Lei Ting emphasized: "For them to make such a fuss, the reputation of Pirates Station has been seriously damaged. "The Walking Dead" will not only affect the ratings, but more importantly, advertisers will worry that advertising on "The Walking Dead" will have negative brand impacts. This is the effect they want. I really didn't expect that there are so many scum in the United States with a vicious level that is no less than you..."
"Thank you for your praise~~" Li Xiaole turned his head and smiled leisurely. Everyone thought the entertainment industry was very messy. In fact, in his opinion, the entertainment industry was not messy at all. The capital power behind it. It seems too common to use everything for their own interests. Slandering opponent companies and smearing celebrities.
"Sister Tingting, I believe you have mastered some things. Is there any insider information on Sony and Fox?" Li Xiaole asked with a chuckling.
"Sony, Fox's firewalls are all military-level. Do you think I am a god?" Lei Ting gave him a cold look.
"But Baokai Game Company and Tony Moore's computers are not. You said yes, sister Tingting." Li Xiaole smiled and pointed at the stack of documents on the table in front of Lei Ting.
"Sometimes I think you are really a fox reincarnated..." Lei Ting sighed faintly and handed over the documents on the table: "As you expected, the lawsuits of these two companies were indeed arranged by Sony and Fox people later, so they knew that the evidence was insufficient, and they also litigated us. These are detailed records of their connection."
Li Xiaole read the documents page by page, and the more he looked, the more he felt better. Lei Ting, the super investigator, was indeed reliable. Not only did she get their phone recordings, but she even checked the fees transferred by Sony and Fox to Baokai Game Company and Tony Moore. Which bank signed the letter, there were detailed information, even photos, and several videos...
Both groups agreed. After the matter was completed, Sony got the game company of "Plant vs. Zombies", and Fox took over Pirate TV and took "The Walking Dead" into his arms. Sony knew that after he abandoned Pirate TV, taking over would only make people feel even more angry and resentful. He also knew that Fox had to split the pie.
Li Xiaole sneered while watching. It seemed that these guys had planned how to divide his body and really regarded Pirate TV as their own pocket.
"What are you going to do now? Prosecut them for malicious competition in court?" Lei Ting looked at Li Xiaole curiously. Now the pit he dug had jumped in, and all the initiative was in Li Xiaole's hands. It depends on how he made a fist.
"It doesn't matter whether you sue or not. Sony and Fox don't care about the small money that you accompany you to lose the case. What's important is how to make these guys' disgusting faces come out to the world." Li Xiaole sneered.
"What do you mean is... publish these news to the public on the Internet between Pirate Station and iPhone? Will anyone believe it?" Lei Ting looked at him suspiciously. If there are laws and regulations to check and balance the two sides, if it is a war of public opinion, even if it can grasp the other party's handle, it may not be able to convince the audience. After all, they are all media windows, and at most they just say their own words.
"Sister Tingting, you are not professional, there is no such thing as you who cheats people directly..." Li Xiaole pointed to his head and said, "The core of public opinion war is not who is right or wrong. It is to let the audience stand on your side. Of course, you have to use some methods." Come on, use the bloody battle of the drama quality head-on, and see who is sharp behind the scenes. In the face of these despicable means, he is indeed no match for these capital giants, but once the audience is involved and how to touch people, it is his Li Xiaole's field.
Whether you are a business giant or a legal elite, as long as you enter my field, you will be able to taste the invincible power of art~
Next, Li Xiaole began to use this week to start his careful deployment. First, he produced some behind-the-scenes filming for "The Walking Dead". The behind-the-scenes content is very simple, not a funny clip. It is basically the pain and grievances encountered by the actors and staff during the filming. Lincoln was psychologically traumatized by "shooting" the little girl and was extremely painful. The actor who played the zombie was exposed to the sun for three hours in the scorching sun for one shot...
The real hardships in the shooting are gathered together, coupled with tragic music, which makes anyone who watches it feels that the crew of "The Walking Dead" has gone through hardships, and everyone has put in all their efforts. People will unconsciously feel a sense of feeling sorry for them, allowing ordinary audiences to understand that in order to let them see such a well-made TV series, more than 1,000 people, including hundreds of extras, in the crew, suffered tremendous pain, and each shot is made of blood and sweat.
In these real and touching real scenes, Li Xiaole also has some fictional plots. He asked Robert Kirkman, the original author of "The Walking Dead", to film a group of "story versions" he stayed up late to create and draw "story versions" in the studio, and a "drama" where he had a big fight with his wife on the phone because he didn't go home for a month after working.
"Why should I shoot these?" Robert Kirkman, one of the "five kings" under "Image", seemed a little helpless during the filming. He didn't understand why he had to sign these confidentiality agreements, and he also had to ship those cheap brands of clothes. Although he was lucky enough to work, he wouldn't be as miserable as he was filmed...
