It was already morning when Gao Wen woke up. She covered her forehead and opened her eyes.
It was already dawn outside the window. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and immediately jumped up from the bed.
Today is the filming commencement ceremony for the crew, and there is also a press conference, scheduled for 9 a.m.
It's not too late, it's really going to kill you.
When Xu Chuan came back with breakfast, the girl almost fell off the bed.
"What are you doing, planning to break your own neck?"
Xu Chuan quickly supported the other party.
"what time is it?"
"Don't worry, it's not yet eight o'clock."
Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the bed again.
It was still early, so Xu Chuan just smiled and ignored her.
"But do you usually drink like this?"
In Xu Chuan's impression, Gao Wen was actually not very good at drinking.
"Then you're here, isn't it? It wouldn't be good if both of us don't drink."
Gao Wen wrapped herself in the quilt, with only a small face as big as a palm exposed.
"Get up, we are all going to be there for the filming commencement ceremony soon."
Xu Chuan walked over and looked at the caterpillar in front of him and laughed. Then he hugged Gao Wen whole and clamped her legs so that she could not move at all.
Gao Wen's hands and feet were trapped by him in the quilt. He struggled left and right but couldn't get free. He even got kissed on the face several times.
"Go away, I hate you..." Unsurprisingly, he became anxious.
Xu Chuan kissed her twice more and then let go. "Get up. I'll bring you back soon."
After Gao Wen finished washing and sat at the table, Xu Chuan said to her, "Well, Wu Wei will be here soon."
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, then listened to Xu Chuan explain, "This matter requires the foundation to come forward, and she must be present."
Gao Wen's face turned red. She hadn't seen Wu Wei for a while, and her memory still lingered on that night when the two slept in the same bed.
Now that I think about it, it's still very high-spirited. That woman was definitely taught a bad lesson by the guy in front of her.
"Then come, can I stop you?" Gao Wen lowered her head and ate.
…
The sky is clear today, it is definitely a good weather.
The filming opening ceremony of the crew was relatively simple. Some tributes were placed on a table, and the director led everyone to lay incense sticks.
Xu Chuan didn't participate, well, he was afraid that the crew wouldn't be able to tolerate his visit.
There was a press conference afterwards. Because it was said that Xu Chuan would appear, many media were present.
Wu Wei, Zhou Hao and others arrived at the scene before the press conference.
Of course, Xu Chuan was complained by Wu Wei and asked to chat and laugh with Gao Wen.
The other people looked at Xu Chuan with admiration and really wanted to ask him how he did it.
But no one dares to do this.
The press conference was held at the filming location, with a few tables simply set up outdoors.
There were so many media outlets, not just entertainment news, that there was no room to sit in the room, so the crew provided them with small matzas.
Xu Chuan sat in the middle, followed by Zhou Hao, the crew director, the producer, then Wu Wei, Gao Wen and several leading actors.
This was the first time he met the director and he greeted him warmly. Most of the others had met him yesterday.
The reporters' flashbulbs flashed, and impatient people immediately raised their hands to ask questions.
"Mr. Xu, UC Technology's press conference this year has been postponed. Is there something wrong with the company?"
Damn, are you really looking forward to him going bankrupt?
Xu Chuan waved his hand, asking these people to calm down.
"This press conference has nothing to do with UC Technology. If anyone wants to ask relevant questions, please go to Xue Zhili."
Then he looked at the reporter who had just asked the question, "Let me make an exception to answer your question. Everything is normal at UC Technology. The reason why the new product launch conference has been postponed is because there is a new product to be introduced to everyone, and it is not a mobile phone."
Reporters immediately started whispering. This was consistent with the statement issued by UC Technology, but I had never heard of it being a new product that was not a mobile phone.
It was a worthwhile trip.
After that, the press conference became normal, and everyone's questions revolved around the crew.
The questions are just that, about the script, about the starring actors, about Gao Wen and Xu Chuan.
"This script was requested by Bai Xuji from me more than two years ago. I prepared two scripts at that time, and the other one was in my name."
"Why? Because they received a script, and when I saw it, I almost felt sick."
"Yes, I said before, has that drama been filmed?"
Someone has already uncovered this matter. The script rejected by Gao Wen is easy to investigate.
However, the filming was completed, but it has not been broadcast.
"Okay, that's not important. Does the director have anything to say?" Xu Chuan acted as the host and handed over the microphone.
This kind of press conference is like this. Although the male and female protagonists are still the main ones, everyone else also has to say a few words.
To put it simply, I am looking forward to this drama.
But some people noticed Wu Wei.
"She's here to talk about what I'm going to say later." Xu Chuan explained, "Wait a minute, I'll explain."
After everyone had spoken, Xu Chuan took the microphone again, "Let me say one thing."
"I accidentally heard a song yesterday."
Xu Chuan waved, and a staff member started playing the song "Simple Love" on the equipment
"Everyone should be familiar with this song, right?"
The reporters looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Xu Chuan wanted to say.
"This song is plagiarized from me from beginning to end." Xu Chuan asked someone to play the version he recorded that year, "This is the version I recorded in 2005."
Xu Chuan's voice came from the stereo. Although his voice was still relatively immature back then, he could still distinguish it.
The eyes of these media people lit up, this is the big melon they want.
"I sent this song to Feiteng Entertainment back then. I originally wanted to sell it for some money, but they were so clever that they just paid it for nothing."
"We have begun to collect evidence and will directly sue the company and the singer."
All the reporters were raising their hands to ask questions.
"Wait until I finish. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, my foundation will allocate a sum of money every year."
Xu Chuan pointed to Wu Wei, who was sitting on her right hand.
"It is used to help those who have been infringed in the Chinese entertainment industry to defend their rights. Not only singers, but also many similar phenomena occur in the film and television drama industry."
"We may not be able to prevent this from happening, but we should at least punish those who take advantage of the fruits of other people's labor."
Okay, this is not a press conference, this is a piece of propaganda.
After taking the lead in formulating the artist employment agreement, UC Media made another big move.
No one present doubted the authenticity of what Xu Chuan said, because he had already proven his talent, and there was no need to make up the works of a third-rate singer out of thin air.
The gap between the two sides was so big that no one believed that Xu Chuan would expend so much effort to specifically target the other side.
And even if he wins the lawsuit, the money he loses may not be as much as the fraction donated by his foundation every year.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..." The reporters became obviously excited.
Xu Chuan pointed at one of the reporters who almost jumped up.
"Mr. Xu, are you particularly disgusted with this kind of infringement? Are you dissatisfied with China's copyright laws?"
Oops, I wiped it and dug a hole when I came up.
"Of course I am disgusted, but due to historical reasons in China, many people do not have a correct awareness of copyright. For example, when an artist who sang the theme song of Journey to the West thought about being the songwriter."
Zhou Hao, who was sitting on the other side, shook his hands. Is this guy so big?
Xu Chuan's idea is that since he wants to establish rules, of course he must find someone who looks big enough and conspicuous enough.
Besides, as a singer, he is nothing.
As soon as this sentence came out, the reporters all thought about how to write the subsequent press release.
Sure enough, as long as this person is present, there will definitely be big news, and everyone's trip will be worthwhile.
"Mr. Xu, I would like to ask, is it true that the Brazil World Cup Organizing Committee has made an appointment with you for three songs?"
Xu Chuan nodded, "Yes, that's right. All three songs are ready, and the other party is choosing a singer."
"Is Sheila still singing this time?"
Xu Chuan's tone paused, "Not this time."
"Then can you tell us about your relationship with Sheila?"
"Friend." Xu Chuan's face was full of black lines.
"Then let me ask you, what is the relationship between Ms. Wu Wei and you?"
"And Gao Wen."
"Hey, don't go too far."
Xu Chuan covered his forehead and really wanted to flip the table.
A flash of light lights up in front of me
Zhou Hao next to him was laughing so hard that he quickly stopped the reporters from asking questions, "Okay, don't ask irrelevant questions."
Overall, his ideas were successfully conveyed through this press conference.
And it immediately became a hot search. Of course, part of this is due to the UC Media trolls.
As for the questions about Xu Chuan's private life, they almost never appeared online.
When the heads of many companies in the entertainment industry heard the news, they were shocked again.
This guy is not done yet. He forced everyone to sign an artist contract before, but now he has started to engage in copyright infringement.
Which bastard copied his song?
These people just scolded Xu Chuan behind his back, but they were not so polite to Feiteng Entertainment.
Of course everyone will ask what happened, and then find out that the intersection between them is the Mango Channel variety show recording.
After inquiring through insiders, it was determined that Yu Yi sang this song during the recording, which was how the lunatic knew it had been plagiarized.
This kind of stupidity was immediately scolded by everyone.
Feiteng's boss, Jiang Shuangfu, was also flustered. He didn't think Xu Chuan held a press conference just to make a joke.
Simple Love, this song was written a long time ago.
Others don't know, but he knows very well where this song came from. At that time, he thought he was just a junior high school student. Who would have thought it was Xu Chuan.
If he knew, he wouldn't be able to do it even if he had the guts to do it.
"Mr. Jiang, several cooperative companies have already expressed their intention to terminate cooperation projects."
His secretary walked into the office, just a few hours after the UC Media press conference.
Several companies with cooperative relationships have already called, some asking about the situation, while others have directly terminated the cooperation.
Their losses were considerable.
Even if things go forward again, all their current projects will probably be finished.
Now, no one in the entertainment industry dares to mess with that lunatic.
Are you taking sides? Feiteng Entertainment and UC Media, everyone knows how to take sides.
What should I do? Find a relationship.
The first thing he thought of was the prosperous Zhou Zheng. Everyone in this circle knew that the man named Xu had a good relationship with Zhou Zheng.
After calling four or five times but no one answered, Jiang Shuangfu panicked.
Then news came that UC Media’s legal team had sued Feiteng and Yu Yi in Xu Chuan’s personal name.
…
"This is just the beginning. If we only go through legal channels, the compensation we can get is only one or two million at most."
UC Media's legal team has carefully studied the existing evidence, and the compensation that the court can currently support is approximately this amount.
And Xu Chuan would definitely not want these three melons and two dates.
That is to say, Feiteng is not a listed company. Although they are also seeking an IPO, they have not been successful.
Otherwise, in the financial market, Xu Chuan would be able to make back his losses.
And now many people have contacted him to test his feelings for Feiteng, including Zhou Zheng.
Xu Chuan's answer is that as long as he spits out all the proceeds from the song, he will not interfere with the rest.
If there is anything unclear about this, these companies are immediately planning to dismember Feiteng’s business.
Feiteng Entertainment was mainly engaged in the recording industry many years ago. However, in recent years, the recording industry has been in recession. They have also begun to act as artist managers and participate in the production of film and television dramas.
They have a lot of artist contracts and commercial projects, not to mention the most valuable music copyrights.
It's a piece of fat that's not too big or too small.
Xu Chuan's attitude also showed that the other party did not intend to use this matter to swallow up Feiteng Entertainment.
As for the so-called foundation's assistance projects for those who have been infringed, they have little impact on large companies like them.
Even if they really want to plagiarize something, they have the ability to get it right.
Xu Chuan put down the phone, "Look at how smart and quick these people are. I guess if I tell you a number now, they can give me the money first for Feiteng."
Zhou Hao shook his head, "But it seems like we are making wedding dresses for them."
Xu Chuan said it didn't matter, even if he wanted money, he would be justified after the court ruled.
He wants to tell everyone in this circle that since he abides by the rules, others must also abide by the rules.
Well, of course money is still needed, he is very short of money now.
Zhou Hao just said that this matter is not a big deal to him, and the company's legal affairs can handle the matter.
Litigation will of course take time, but Feiteng is likely to choose to settle.
Feiteng's choice is of course not important, because at this time they will face the encirclement and suppression of many people.
Zhou Hao is also very busy. He will fly to Los Angeles after handling this matter.
He made an appointment with Marian to discuss in detail the preparations for the rapid pursuit.
After that, Xu Chuan, Wu Wei and Gao Wen were the only ones left in the room.
