Chapter 619 Chairman Cheng

During key periods such as the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival, the company has certain rules, and you can't go wrong if you follow the same pattern as in previous years.

All the publicity and distribution that need to be pitched have been put in place, and all the variety show interviews that need to be run have been conducted. Public opinion monitoring has been done well, and the public relations department is always ready.

What else could go wrong?

The so-called big things are approximate, nothing more than this.

The key is to be afraid that some unexpected little things will disrupt the original plan and cause headaches.

Just like two days ago, Perfect World suddenly came to discuss the matter of "Zhu Xian".

The film and television adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian" are in the hands of Yuan Yuan and are about to expire. Yuan Yuan has authorized Jiaxing Media to film it.

Remote technology cooperates with the crew to jointly develop the film and game.

However, Perfect World suddenly said that the game adaptation rights of the "Zhu Xian" novel are theirs' exclusive exclusive rights. If Yuan Yuan Technology continues to develop the "Zhu Xian" game, it will be suspected of infringement. Perfect World will come to inform us of the negotiation today. If Yuan Yuan Technology insists on continuing to develop the game, by then

Perfect World will take this case to court.

Ordinarily, a company as big as Remote Technology would not object to such a low-level mistake, so why would there be a copyright dispute?

The only blame is that Remote Technology’s game department has been doing too smoothly in linking movies and games. It makes money easily by producing a movie and a game.

What they were thinking was that it was all a company drama anyway, and the full copyright must belong to the company, so there was no need to worry. It had always been this way before, and no one had ever complained.

Perfect World is a major domestic game company, but it gave Remote Technology some face and did not wait for the game to be officially launched before going to court. Otherwise, it would have to pay at least five to six million yuan.

After receiving the notification from Perfect World, Yuan Yuan Technology immediately contacted Yuan Yuan Film and Television to verify the specific copyright ownership situation.

Yuan Yuan Film and Television quickly replied that the company indeed only has the film and television adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian", and the game copyright does not belong to Yuan Yuan Film and Television.

But the problem is, the game development of "Zhu Xian" has already started! You can't lose it!

Yuanyuan proposed an idea to Perfect World, and the two companies jointly developed the game "Zhu Xian".

Perfect World refused without even thinking about it. It’s a joke. Perfect World has always had the exclusive rights to adapt the game "Zhu Xian". "Zhu Xian", "Fantasy Zhu Xian", "Zhu Xian 2" and "Zhu Xian 3" all made the "Zhu Xian" game into a game by itself.

It’s a successful brand, but you just pick peaches when you say you can pick peaches?

Perfect World's appeal is very simple. It requires Remote Technology to immediately stop the development of the "Zhu Xian" mobile game, otherwise Perfect World will take legal action.

Remote Technology is naturally unwilling to do so. The news that the TV series "Zhu Xian" is about to start filming has been released, and the starring cast has been basically confirmed. The advertisement for "the mobile game of the same name will be launched simultaneously" has been advertised. It would be a loss to cancel the entire project at this time.

Tens of millions.

There is another reason why Remote Technology is unwilling to stop the development of mobile games. If the game is not released, the "Zhu Xian" TV series will be used as a wedding dress for others when it is aired.

The TV series is in the remote world, and the game is in the Perfect Time and Space. A large number of fans flock to the Perfect Time and Space to play games, but nothing can be gained remotely.

Yuan Yuan did not want to give up the revenue from the game, and wanted to join forces with Perfect World to develop mobile games, and even proposed to share the completed parts with Perfect World.

However, Perfect World insists on exclusive rights and clearly wants Remote Technology to voluntarily give up mobile game development.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

Does Cheng Yuan know about this?

He knew it, but he didn't intervene and kept watching the progress of the matter.

Besides, he still has a lot of work to do here.

Monday, February 16th, 9pm.

According to official news from the Cannes Film Festival, the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of the 2018 Cannes International Film Festival is director Cheng Yuan from China.

The public sentiment was aroused for a moment! Cheng Yu'an, who had been quiet and low-key preparing for a new film, once again became the forefront of public opinion.

Cheng Yuan is the second Chinese and the first mainland director to serve as chairman of the Cannes Film Festival.

The first one is Wang Sunglasses. In 2006, he was 48 years old.

And Cheng Yuan is only 33 years old this year.

This is a very important honor.

"You have been hiding this news from me!" Liu Yifei was very "unhappy" at home.

"I really forgot to tell you." She said with conscience, Cheng Yu'an really didn't hide it from Liu Yifei on purpose.

"How can you forget such a big thing? What a liar."

"Why is it so big? I just serve as a judge for others. I have done this job a lot."

"Can this be the same? Chairman of the jury of the main competition section of Cannes, many people can't even dream of it." Liu Yifei was really happy for her husband, but said, "It's true in Venice too. You are hailed as the 'Son of Venice' by the outside world."

No, they didn’t ask you to be the chairman.”

"Alberto Barbara is determined to achieve results that are different from Marco Muller. Mark Muller likes Chinese films, but he prefers not to choose Chinese films. Didn't you realize that since Barbara

Since taking office, there have been far fewer Chinese-language films going to Venice.

"Here at Cannes, this is the first year that Pierre Lescure has been the chairman. Of course he has to make the first move, so he invited me. Let's not talk about whether I am qualified to be the chairman. I am so young and cannot be a judge.

The troupe chairman can also attract a lot of attention and discussion in Cannes."

"Then you still agree to go."

"You think I want to go, but the favor I owe is too great. I can't help but go."

"What favor do you owe them?"

"Lingfeng has been trying to break into the French market in the past two years, and Jacob has done a lot of work in it. A major film company was able to open an office in France thanks to his help. Do you think I can't return this favor?"

Cheng Lingfeng has great ambitions. She wants to open up distribution channels in major countries in the world.

It goes without saying that a major film company is based in North America.

Here in Asia, we can cover it remotely.

The trouble is Europe. Europe is the back garden of Hollywood. Others cannot easily enter. So far, Cheng Lingfeng has only conquered the British market.

"I have to go." Liu Yifei thought about it, this favor had to be returned, and she had to go. "Isn't it too rushed?"

The wedding of the two is scheduled for the end of May, and the Cannes Film Festival closes on the 24th. It can be said that Cheng Yu'an is so busy that he doesn't have any time.

"Just be busy if you're busy. It won't delay the wedding. It's just hard work for you and the preparation team." Cheng Yu'an touched his wife's hand apologetically.

"It's okay. Being the chairman of Cannes is a good thing. I'm not tired from the wedding preparations."

Mainland netizens are cheering for Cheng Yu'an's election as chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.

Some people are happy and some are worried about this news.

What makes me happy is that Chief Jia has a good relationship with the crew of "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers". Chief Jia and Cheng Yu'an have a good relationship. I think Cheng Yu'an should be able to take care of them as the chairman.

Also happy are the crew of Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Sea Street Diary" who are far away in Japan. Many people know that one of Cheng Yu'an's favorite directors is Edward Yang. As a disciple of Edward Yang, Hirokazu Kore-eda is also respected by Cheng Yu'an.

The crew of "Carol" were so happy. With their boss as chairman, it would be unreasonable not to give them an award! Cate Blanchett has already seen her first Cannes Best Actress trophy waving to her.

The people who are worried are naturally the crew of Hou Xiaoxian's "The Assassin Nie Yinniang" on the other side of the Taiwan Strait.

Cheng Yu'an had no objection to Hou Hsiao-hsien himself, but liked his movies very much.

However, the people of the Bay Island judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, and are afraid that Cheng Yu'an will cause trouble for "The Assassin Nie Yinniang" at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

After all, last year's Golden Horse Awards deceived Gong Li, whom Cheng Yu'an liked, and there's no guarantee that Cheng Yu'an won't find a place for Gong Li in Cannes.

But in fact, the Cannes shortlist has not yet been announced, but the above-mentioned crews have already registered for Cannes. They are all well-known directors and have a minimum of confidence in being shortlisted for Cannes.

For a moment, the crew was wondering whether they should say hello to Cheng Yuan in advance.

Although bribing the chairman is expressly prohibited in Cannes, if you don't tell me or I won't tell you, who will investigate? The film festival is about you coming and going.

That night, Cheng Yuan posted a speech on his personal Weibo:

"Thank you Pierre for trusting me and entrusting such a glorious and arduous task to a 33-year-old young director. The significance of Cannes to the film is self-evident. I am truly frightened to have such a heavy burden on my shoulders. I dare not expect to be able to do so."
Chapter completed!
