Tangning's meaning was clear: there was no need for them to lick Hollywood's boots. She wanted everyone to believe that their country could also produce good films.
Fang Yu's words represented Hai Rui. In other words, Hai Rui would never admit to plagiarism. In fact, they even provided evidence of the original work.
Their motive was to make everyone believe that 'The Ant Queen 2' belonged to them and that it had nothing to do with the disgusting foreigners.
Of course, Hai Rui's firm attitude gave everyone some peace of mind.
"I've seen both movies. To be fair, that American movie about Rabid Dog is complete bullsh * t!"
"Even the Americans are trying to ride on our popularity?"
"I'm sure that this is an independent film from Hai Rui. How could they plagiarize a lousy film? Are the Americans playing a joke on us? "
"I firmly support Tangning and 'The Ant Queen 2'. I hope Hai Rui can win the lawsuit and shut the Americans up!"
"Hollywood is starting to decline and the art battlefield is slowly shifting to the East. So, I don't think there's any reason for everyone to not have faith in Tangning. Even if Hai Rui doesn't explain themselves, I will still support Tangning.
Hai Rui quickly conducted a survey on the Beijing audience. The results showed that everyone was more willing to believe in their own country's films. Even if the other party was Hollywood, they would never admit defeat.
This was a huge comfort to Tangning and Mo Ting.
But, the American lawyers still came knocking on their door …
…
Mo Ting asked Lu Che to arrange for everyone to be seated in the meeting room. Afterwards, he told Lu Che to go home and pick up Tangning. He also told Fang Yu to bring along his team of lawyers. After all, not everyone had the chance to see Mo Ting directly.
Fang Yu's head hurt. He hated dealing with foreigners the most. Although there were reasonable people, the people sitting in front of him today were obviously not easy to deal with.
"I would like to see the person in charge of Hai Rui regarding the plagiarism."
"I am the Vice President of Hai Rui," Fang Yu replied firmly.
The man shrugged his shoulders and pulled out a document, "The copyright laws in the US are very strict. So, before we get to the bottom of this matter, we hope that your company can temporarily stop the screening of the film. Once the truth has been revealed, we will release it again."
"Of course, the premise is that you can prove that you did not plagiarize."
"I've never seen someone do it so naturally," Fang Yu laughed, but he did not take the documents from the man.
"If the court in the US decides that you plagiarized, then not only will you have to stop screening the film, you will also have to pay a huge sum of money."
"Have you Americans finished talking?" Fang Yu laughed. "Since you are on our soil, then you should act according to our laws. We have also filed a lawsuit against your American company. In fact, we have sent a team of eight people to represent us!"
"Not only that, we have the outline of the script and evidence. We even hired the world's greatest screenwriter to analyze the story. Let's see who plagiarized who..." Fang Yu said calmly.
"Since you don't want your face anymore, we never thought that you would retreat. But it doesn't matter. We will go through the proper channels. Let us find out the truth together."
"More importantly, your company … seems to have done this more than once, right? If I remember correctly, five years ago, your company also paid a compensation of 30 million USD for a similar case. "
"Are you trying to do the same thing again?"
"Do you think we are easy to bully?"
The other party had never expected Fang Yu to be so domineering. Furthermore, he had thoroughly investigated their backgrounds.
From the looks of it, it was impossible to suppress Hai Rui. Didn't an Eastern film and television company kneel before a Hollywood film and television company?
Of course, this was their own confidence. It had nothing to do with anyone else.
Things were no longer the same as they were many years ago. Did they still think that they were great?
"If you continue to remain silent, then I'm sorry, but I won't be accompanying you any longer. Hai Rui's lawyers will contact you soon."
"As for your request to stop screening and pay compensation... you must be dreaming." After speaking, Fang Yu stood up and left the rest of the matter to the lawyers.
Did these foreigners really think that Hai Rui was easy to bully?
Although Hai Rui was confident that they would be able to prove his innocence, the entire organization needed to put in a lot of effort.
Fang Yu was in charge of dealing with the public, while Lu Che was in charge of collecting evidence. Meanwhile, Mo Ting and Tangning couldn't sit around and do nothing. So, they tried to find a way to invite world-renowned screenwriters, directors and authors to evaluate the content of the incident.
So, Elder Nangong's motive had been achieved.
Seeing that Hai Rui was spinning like a top, he took the opportunity to announce the release date of 'Parasite'.
Trying to gain popularity at this time? Was there something wrong with his brain?
Didn't Elder Nangong realize that he was taking advantage of someone when they were down?
Of course, he knew. But, he still wanted to disgust the Mo Family and Mo Ting!
Elder Nangong's actions were extremely annoying. But, that wasn't his motive.
Because they needed to evaluate the content of the film, Mo Ting and Tangning had to travel overseas to invite experts. But, because of this, Elder Nangong had the opportunity to kidnap the Mo brothers.
He had already secretly taken on the role of a teacher for the Mo brothers at an elite school. He had used all sorts of methods. At first, he used money to tempt them. In the end, he used his family to threaten them.
He did all of this just so that he could give Mo Ting and Tangning a Christmas present.
That afternoon, after lunch break, the Mo brothers disappeared from the school. In fact, no one knew how they disappeared.
Not long after, the teacher called the police and notified the school. Then, he contacted the parents of the parents …
At this time, Tangning and Mo Ting were at the airport. But, as soon as they heard that the child had gone missing, Tangning's expression was unreadable.
"What's wrong?"
"The child has gone missing …"
Tangning said. "Our child has disappeared from the school."
After hearing this, Mo Ting immediately left the airport with Tangning and personally gave the school a phone call to see if the child had been picked up by a family member or something else. But, the school told them that the child had disappeared into thin air during lunch break. At that time, the security cameras in the dormitory were broken, so they couldn't see anything …
