Chapter 709
The film was shot in a hurry, but the film was released in a hurry.
“Sister Wang, I have investigated it carefully.”
“Because “Dying to Survive” shot by our General Manager Su was a hit in China.”
“So, when the news of the completion of “The Wandering Earth” came out.”
“Shelter Pictures in the United States set its sights on this movie.”
“It took them only seventeen days from shooting, production to release.”
“It was just one day earlier than the release time of “The Wandering Earth.”
After hearing Secretary Ruan’s report, Wang Xiaoyan was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
“The Wandering Moon” shot by Shelter Pictures was released just one day earlier than “The Wandering Earth”.
It can be said that… the possibility of suing him for plagiarism was directly eliminated.
It’s not feasible to sue them for plagiarism when they release their movie one day earlier than you.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaoyan tried to calm her anger.
Morally speaking, the behavior of Shelter Pictures is shameless.
But when it comes to court, the other party’s behavior is both reasonable and legal.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Hollywood blockbuster companies that hate them to the core but have no way to deal with them.
Because the cleverness of Shelter Pictures is that they insist on copying the movie title but resolutely not copying the content, so that you can’t sue them for plagiarism.
Another point is that the laws of the United States are different from those of the Dragon Country.
For example, it is legal to carry guns and bay windows in the United States, but they will be resolutely cracked down in the Dragon Country.
The same is true for copying the movie title, which is also legal in the United States.
Of course, this is definitely illegal in the Dragon Country.
Otherwise, those shameless capitalists will definitely fleece them like crazy.
Relying on the popularity of hit movies, they can come up with a wave of “I Am Not a Medicine Body”, “The King’s Farewell”, “Let the Bullets Ash”, “Infernal Affairs” in a minute
…
“Xiao Ruan.”
“How much has the “Wandering Moon” stolen by that bastard company sold so far?”
Hearing Wang Xiaoyan’s inquiry, Secretary Ruan quickly replied: “It has been released for five days and has sold 1.6 million US dollars.”
“It is said that their filming cost was only 80,000 US dollars, so this time it is a huge profit.”
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyan snorted coldly.
A mere 1.6 million US dollars is not worth mentioning in her eyes.
But for Shelter Pictures, which relies on such a shabby way to cheat money, these are all free money.
“Notify the legal team and sue this bastard company immediately.”
“The other party must immediately remove the film from the shelves, apologize publicly, and admit that the naming of the film is misleading to consumers.”
“Request the United States court to confiscate all box office revenues of “The Wandering Moon” and pay us reputation loss and infringement fees.”
At this point, Wang Xiaoyan thought for a moment and then added:
“Notify the public relations department and ask them to prepare a statement.”
“It is necessary to clearly tell foreign netizens that there is no connection between “The Wandering Moon” and “The Wandering Earth.”
“At the same time, dig out all the black materials of the rogue company “Shelter Pictures” and stir up public opinion on the Internet for me!”
“Buy hot searches when you need to, don’t be reluctant to spend money.”
“We should take advantage of this popularity to promote “The Wandering Earth” abroad and take the opportunity to build momentum for its release.”
After hearing Wang Xiaoyan’s instructions, Secretary Ruan nodded quickly.
At the same time, she gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: “Sister Wang, you are really amazing!”
“It was obviously a reputation crisis, but you turned it into traffic.”
Wang Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, and her beautiful eyes flashed with disdain: “In terms of taking advantage of the situation to stir up the heat, those foreigners are still a little naive.”
…
Time flies, and the days and months pass by.
Unknowingly, a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
With the efforts of the legal team of Oriental Media Company.
Although the stolen “Wandering on the Moon” of Shelter Pictures in the United States has not been removed from the shelves.
But it was also sentenced to change its name to “Escape to the Moon” (Elope to the Moon)
At the same time, the total box office revenue of 2.7 million US dollars was confiscated by the Federal Court of the United States, and a fine of 1 million US dollars was imposed.
As for Oriental Media Company, the claim for compensation for reputation loss and infringement fees was rejected by the Federal Court of the United States.
Wang Xiaodui and Yang Mi were not surprised at this judgment.
It is difficult to fight a transnational lawsuit, and it is even more difficult to win.
If it were not for the politicians in the United States, they would be afraid of the blind vision glasses and cancer cells in Su Mo’s hands.
Cell crusher, and kidney-boosting pills… These are just-needed products that can get stuck in your neck.
What if things get too tense and Su Mo, the troublemaker, gets mad.
If they directly raise the price of the product or even stop supply, causing too much loss and impact to the country.
With the morality of the politicians in the United States, it is impossible for Oriental Media to win this lawsuit.
But… in this lawsuit.
Although Oriental Media looks like an innocent victim on the surface.
After all, being copied by an unscrupulous company does cause reputational damage.
But under the operation of Oriental Media’s powerful public relations team, this lawsuit can be said to be a great success!
On YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and the international version of Douyin, the related popularity has always been high.
All of these have invisibly done enough publicity and preparation for the release of the international version of “The Wandering Earth”.
This also made “The Wandering Earth” win 19.6 million US dollars on the day of its release in the United States, equivalent to 140 million Longyuan.
On the tenth day after its release, the box office broke through 169 million US dollars, equivalent to 1.2 billion Long Yuan.
Although this box office data is still far from the 1.24 billion box office on the day of its release in Long Country.
But Long Country’s highest-grossing movie in the United States, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, has a total box office of only 128 million US dollars.
“The Wandering Earth” broke the record ten days after its release, becoming the second Long Country movie to have a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in the United States.
In addition to the very considerable economic benefits, it has also greatly enhanced the influence of Long Country movies in the international scope.
Therefore, from this perspective.
Oriental Media Company, in the incident of Shelter Pictures’ voyeurism.
Not only did it not cause substantial damage, but it also made a lot of money from this popularity!
Of course…
It was so smooth to stir up public opinion in the United States and eventually convert traffic into box office.
Behind this, it is also inseparable from the strong promotion of the international version of Douyin.
After all, in the current US country, the international version of Douyin Titok has 180 million users!
You know, the entire US country currently has only 335 million people.
Such a large user group, excluding more than half of the elderly.
Almost all young people in the US are using the international version of Douyin.
For a large number of US people, the international version of Douyin is not only a spiritual food for entertainment and leisure.
It is also a tool for countless small and medium-sized businesses and anchors to make money by bringing goods.
In this case, Douyin only needs to slightly tilt the balance of traffic to make “The Wandering Earth” popular abroad!
