You read that right, the court date for both parties was the day before the release of "How to Train Your Dragon", not the day before "Lost on Journey".
The two films have different premiere dates.
The reason is Christmas in Western countries.
During this grand festival, Westerners prefer to take their families to the cinema and give movies as Christmas gifts.
Guangdong Province, local court.
The media were waiting here early in the morning.
It is absolutely big news that two film companies are in court over their respective plagiarism incidents.
Soon, representatives from the China branch of "How to Train Your Dragon" arrived as scheduled. Clark got out of the car and greeted the media elegantly.
Although this lawsuit is a lawsuit, the real purpose is to attract attention.
Now that he has such a good opportunity for exposure, Clark naturally will not give it up.
During the first show, a reporter asked in confusion, "Why haven't the people from Caidie Culture and Entertainment arrived yet?"
Clark was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Maybe they are too guilty to come!
But don't worry, if the other party really doesn't dare to come, my lawyers will remain silent and give them a fair trial opportunity."
Applause broke out instantly, and the media reporters immediately felt that Clark was upright and open-minded.
Some people have even thought of the headlines for today's news: Colorful butterflies shrink back from the battle, and "How to Train Your Dragon" remains silent in the judge's seat in pursuit of fairness.
Then at this moment, at a distant intersection, a young man came rushing towards us on a shared bicycle.
Then he stopped in front of the reporters and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late."
Everyone was stunned: "Who are you?"
Man: "My name is Fu Song, and I'm the owner of Caidie."
coax--
Everyone was shocked instantly. Caidie’s boss actually came on a bicycle?
A reporter immediately asked: "Mr. Fu, why don't you drive here?"
Fu Song scratched his head: "Well... do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Reporter: "How do you tell a lie?"
"There are too many cars in Guangdong Province. I'm afraid of traffic jams, and riding shared bikes is more environmentally friendly."
"What about the truth?"
"I don't have a car."
The reporter was instantly disheveled in the wind.
Another reporter quickly broke the awkward silence: "Mr. Fu, are you the only one here, Caidie?"
Fu Song said: "Wait a moment, they will be here soon."
Then the reporters saw another group of people coming from a distance, both men and women, but they were all walking.
Reporters: “…”
Yu Shan was in the first place. He smiled and said, "Sorry, we only saw one shared bike at the intersection, so we asked Mr. Fu to ride it over."
The reporter hesitated for a long time: "Manager Yu, don't you have a car either?"
Yu Shan shook his head. "No, we're trying to save fuel. Even though President Fu said today's fuel expenses can be reimbursed, the company's fuel is still fuel, so any savings counts!"
Reporters: “…”
Of course, these reporters didn’t know that Caidie Culture and Entertainment was only three blocks away from here, and it would only take five minutes to walk there.
If you drive, it takes ten minutes to get from the Caidie garage to the parking lot here.
After the group entered the court and took their seats, the court session began.
The judges came out last and looked at the documents in their hands. One of them said, "There are a lot of things to do today.
First, Caidie Culture and Entertainment is suing the China branch of "How to Train Your Dragon" for infringing the "Classic of Mountains and Seas." Please allow the plaintiff to make a statement.
The lawyer representing Caidie Culture and Entertainment stood up and briefly explained the situation, the general meaning of which was similar to what Caidie said on Weibo.
One is to ask the China branch of "How to Train Your Dragon" to apologize to the people of the whole country, and the other is to donate to the Medicine God Foundation.
"Defendant, what do you say?"
“I think the plaintiff’s arguments are simply not valid.
Yes, we used some settings from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the design drawings also referred to some Chinese elements about dragons.
But when it comes to copyright infringement, it seems a bit malicious, doesn't it? After all, there is no law that stipulates that this is plagiarism.
As for donations, hehe, according to the information we have learned, the Medicine God Foundation is Boss Fu’s own property.
He actually asked us to donate 100 million yuan, which makes me doubt his purpose?
Your Honor, can I understand this as blatant extortion?
The judge nodded and said: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas is an ancient book, and its copyright has long been out of the scope of legal copyright protection, so the claim of infringement is not established.
As for the donations... Plaintiff, the defendant suspects you of extortion. What do you say?"
The plaintiff's lawyer was about to speak when Fu Song suddenly stood up and said, "Your Honor, may I ask the defendant a few questions?"
"Of course, but the defendant doesn't have to answer."
"I understand." Fu Song looked at Clark, "Mr. Clark, regarding the infringement of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, your reason is that due to its long history, the copyright of this book is no longer protected by law.
But you did use some of the ideas from it, right?"
Clark nodded: "Not bad."
"Well, Mr. Clark is indeed honest and upright. I thought you would never admit it.
Your Honor, from a legal perspective, How to Train Your Dragon does not constitute infringement, so I withdraw Nabi's lawsuit."
As soon as these words were spoken, the reporters in the audience immediately started talking.
Caidie withdrew from the lawsuit before it even started.
Although they have a high probability of not winning, since they have started to confront the opponent, they have to fight it out.
If you admit your mistake now, apart from anything else, you will lose face!
