It is really difficult to define whether Xinyi City and Zhang Jianting are infringements, and suing them in court is a headless lawsuit.
Because New Art City and Zhang Jianting have never said that "Goodbye Seven Days" is a sequel to "Seven Days of Fraud", and the two movies do not have much relevance in content and plot.
But only judging from the title of the movie, New Art City is obviously using the reputation of "Seven Days of Mistakes" to attract audiences, and when doing promotion, it also intentionally or unintentionally misleads it as a sequel.
Defining infringement of such literary works such as novels, movies and other literary works is very difficult. Only those who can win the lawsuit know, but the longer the incident is, the higher the lawyer's fees will become, and the less money will be particularly uncomfortable.
When I was filming a movie last year, I said not to use the name of the series "Seven Days Love". You just didn't listen. Now I'm waiting to sue slowly!
After Huang Baiming said that, he sat there with a cold face, looking at Shi Tian and Mai Jia expressionlessly.
Wong Pai-ming traveled abroad for more than two months and returned to Hong Kong a few days ago. He found that the box office battle of "Congratulations on the Rich" of New Art City failed. Then he was sued for infringement by DreamWorks, and there were a bunch of messes in the company waiting to be dealt with.
I've consulted a lawyer, Kang Jianfei couldn't win this lawsuit.Shi Tian smiled quite relaxedly.
Huang Baiming said angrily: If you want money for a lawsuit, will Kang Jianfei help you pay the lawyer's fee?
Okay, things have come to this point, and it doesn’t make sense to argue about who is right and who is wrong. Mai Jia said impatiently, what everyone should discuss today is what movie to make.
Huang Baiming said angrily: What other movies are you shooting?The company only has more than 600,000 yuan on the books, and it will be left to the employees for salary.
Mai Jia smiled and said: When the box office of "Congratulations on the Rich" and "Goodbye Seven Days" is shared, won't the company be rich?Our film planning should be done first.
Well, this is the famous New Art City, and it is actually at the point where the rice is put into the pot.
When the Hong Kong real estate bubble just burst, Lei Juekun lost both in the stock market and the real estate market, and saw the film department of Xinyi City selling its titles, so he increased his investment in movies, so he had several big casts like "Best Partner".
Later, Lei Juekun suffered too much in the stock market and real estate market. Not only could he not increase his investment in Xinyi City, but he had to continuously draw funds from Xinyi City to make up for the holes, and even sold several Jin Princess' cinemas.
The big bosses of Xinyi City all play like this, and Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming are no exception.
Anyway, after making money for a movie, everyone should share what they deserve. They reserve some of the funds for company operations and movie investment, and then add the subsequent funds from overseas box office in Shanghai, and Xinyi City can still develop smoothly.
After being hit hard by commercial damage, Lei Juekun's health was no longer as good as before. Maybe he would not have lived for a few years. His enthusiasm for Xinyi City and Princess Jin has greatly reduced, and he refused to continue to invest more. Xinyi City can only operate on its own and bear its own profits and losses.
In parallel space, in just five years, Xinyi City has grown from a film company with only a few employees to a studio, dubbing room and record company with more than 100 employees and a basic annual expense of nearly 10 million yuan, gradually moving closer to the large studio model.
Since 1985, New Art City has become a giant. Since this year, New Art City has suffered losses for the first time, and later it has been declining.
With the emergence of Kang Jianfei, the development of this new art city in time and space has not been so smooth. It does not have its own exclusive record company, and only has about 60 employees, but the losses have also occurred.
In contrast, although Kang Jianfei has a big family and a big business, his record companies, agency companies, film companies and TV stations are complementary. The four companies often share artists and equipment. Similar departments have long been adjusted or combined into one, greatly reducing operating costs.
Now Kang Jianfei’s four major companies have more than 500 formal employees, but the total administrative operation expenses are only less than 60 million yuan each year.
For Oriental Entertainment, the past more than 100 signed stars were resources and burdens, and hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong were all customers of Oriental Entertainment.
Since being banned by the Taiwan authorities, Oriental Entertainment has lost these customers and has left a large group of celebrities to eat.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, the job-changing of Alan Tam, Hui Ying-hong and others is actually a good thing, which greatly reduces the expenses of Oriental Entertainment.
Even if they don’t leave, Kang Jianfei will take the initiative to terminate the contract with him at some point. If they leave by themselves, Kang Jianfei will still earn a penalty for liquidated damages.
Now, because it is self-sufficiency, dozens of signed actors are enough, and the enrollment of training classes of Oriental Entertainment has also changed from one move per year to one move per year.
The current situation is that Mai Jia has money, Shi Tian has money, and Huang Baiming has money, but these money belongs to them personally. The money on the books of Xinyi City is only enough to pay employees.
Shi Tian thought about it for a while and said: "Congratulations on the Box Office" is about to be divided, and the company can get six or seven million.
Mai Jia calculated the accounts and said: Singapore will also have a share of more than one million next month, saving some money, and it will be enough to make two movies.
What to shoot?Huang Baiming asked.
Shi Tian thought for a while and said: Let’s make comedy gambling movies, gambling movies are very popular recently.
Wong Pai-ming doesn't like following the trend in film creation. He shook his head and said: No, there must be countless followers after the "Gambling Saint" has been sold. Xinyi City also films comedy gambling movies and it is very likely that they will fail.
Mai Jia scratched his head and said: Why don’t you find Xu Guanjie? He has made several comedy gambling movies before.
Huang Baiming reminded: What audiences like to watch now are nonsense, and Xu's comedy is outdated.
Neither left nor right, Mai Jia said with some depression: Then what do you think you are taking pictures?
Like Shi Tian and Mai Jia, Huang Baiming had long lost his passionate state when he started his business. After thinking for a long time, he said: I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s talk about it.
Then let’s talk about it another day. Mai Jia looked at the watch, stood up suddenly and said, “The market has been opened, I want to go and see my stocks, and I will talk about it next time!
Mai Jia threw down a word and disappeared quickly. Shi Tian also said: I have made an appointment to go to see the property and leave first.
Huang Baiming stayed alone in the conference room and sat for a long time before sighing.
This is the disadvantage of good friends starting a company together. When starting a business, everyone shares the joys and sorrows and hardships. Once the career grows bigger, various differences will arise.
Once upon a time, Dianmao and Shaw Brothers were typical representatives of the large studio system. The reason why they can develop and exist for a long time is that the company's boss can tell the truth.
Now the New Art City is also moving closer to the large studio system, but the three bosses are constantly disagreeing and have no passion to work normally.
The same is true in parallel spaces. In 1984 and 1985, the scale of Xinyi City developed rapidly, and the relationship between Huang, Mai and Shi quickly became worse.
By 1985, the production volume of Xinyi City increased greatly, but the three bosses rarely participated in the film production. They were all directors such as Yu In-tae, Wu Johnson, Lin Lingdong, and Tsui Hark, which also showed the collapse of the three-person group.
Of course, there is also a change in mentality. After all, after becoming the boss of a large company, there is no need to do everything personally and have more time to be busy with other things, such as stock trading, real estate speculation and travel.
Huang Baiming returned to his office and asked his secretary to call his apprentice Gao Zhisen and said to him: Asen, I want to make an urban comedy. Do you have any good ideas?
Gao Zhisen silently took out a resignation letter and said: I want to go to Debao.
The smile on Huang Baiming's face disappeared instantly, he glanced at the resignation letter and asked: Why do you want to leave?Xinyi City has wronged you?
Gao Zhisen lowered his head and did not speak. He really felt a little sorry for Huang Baiming.
Huang Baiming waved his hand and said: Okay, everyone can get together and part with me. I have accepted your resignation letter.
After Gao Zhisen patted his butt and left, Huang Baiming suddenly felt relieved when facing a huge company.
But Mai Jia and Shi Tian both became hand-off managers. If he didn't care about the company, he would have nothing to do, so he had to instruct his secretary again: Call Lin Lingdong!
Not long after, Lin Lingdong walked into the office and asked: Mr. Huang, are you looking for me?
Didn’t you say you were writing a script last time?Have you written it?Huang Baiming asked.
Lin Lingdong nodded and said: I have already written it, I will bring it to you now.
Half an hour later, Huang Baiming finished watching Lin Lingdong's "Love One" and commented: A romantic film with a very clichéd plot, if you want to sell it, you need the director's ability to tell stories. Do you have the confidence to shoot it?
How can Lin Lingdong guarantee that he will definitely sell the top spot?He could only say: I will do my best.
I believe you, go and prepare, the company will film "Love One" in the next drama.Huang Baiming is still very confident in Lin Lingdong's directorial level.
After Lin Lingdong left, Huang Baiming's secretary suddenly said: Manager, don't you notify Mr. Mai and Mr. Shi about filming "The God of Love One"?
Huang Baiming said with some displeasure: No, you do your own thing, don’t meddle in other people’s business.
Oh, the secretary walked out with his head down and suddenly stopped and said, Manager, today's newspaper is on the table.
I got it, you go down.Huang Baiming said impatiently, picking up a newspaper and turning it over.
After only a few minutes of watching, Huang Baiming suddenly flipped into a page, and then almost fell under the desk in shock.
The headline title of that version is: DreamWorks and Fenghuáng Taiwan carry out group reforms and may take the opportunity to go public.
DreamWorks is going to go public?!
Huang Baiming almost thought he had read it wrong. Shaw Brothers dominated Xiangjiang for so many years and Jiahe broke the box office record every year but did not go public. Is DreamWorks going to go public?
Is Kang Jianfei really going to list the company?
Obviously it is impossible. To go public, you have to wait a few more years before the best time is.
But the company's group reform is real. This is something that Kang Jianfei planned for several years, but it is only because of the impact of being banned by the Taiwan authorities. It is now carried out in advance.
Because New Art City and Zhang Jianting have never said that "Goodbye Seven Days" is a sequel to "Seven Days of Fraud", and the two movies do not have much relevance in content and plot.
But only judging from the title of the movie, New Art City is obviously using the reputation of "Seven Days of Mistakes" to attract audiences, and when doing promotion, it also intentionally or unintentionally misleads it as a sequel.
