Chapter 83: been infringed

Because Dunn said something wrong, the two did not go to see "Les Miserables", but went to see a children's comedy in the theater's introduction.

Natalie's idea is very simple, they are all a group of children, Dunn can't have any bad thoughts, right?

According to the staff, this children's drama troupe is called "Theatrical Urchins", with an average age of 10 years old. From Pennsylvania, I came to New York to perform on weekends, not to make money, but to be brave and see the world.

Their performance hall is small and the audience is poor.

Judging from the enthusiastic performance of the audience, it is very likely that they are the parents of the children.

Tang En was embarrassed, "Is this... interesting?"

Natalie raised her chin and smiled, "I feel safe watching this."

But when the play started, Tang En was speechless in shock.

The children's show turned out to be "Harry Potter"!

The book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released in the United States last year. Due to the lack of promotion, the response was mediocre and the sales volume was not high.

Unexpectedly, this book has such a strong influence among the children that this group of children from Pennsylvania even choreographed a stage play.

Dunn has an ominous premonition, will "Harry Potter" suddenly become popular?

This is very inconsistent with his industrial plan!

"It seems to urge David Heyman to get the copyright of the last four Harry Potter films as soon as possible."

Dunn's thoughts wandered, but soon, like Natalie, he paid attention to the children's performances.

Natalie is curious about the story of "Harry Potter", Dunn... He is following a little girl.

"She's actually acting in a stage play?"

Dunn was speechless in surprise.

……

After the performance, Dunn took Natalie and walked backstage.

The staff immediately stopped him, Dunn was confident, "Hello, I'm Dunn Walker."

"Director Walker?"

The staff was stunned for a moment, looked at Dunn up and down, and was a little unsure. When they looked around him, they immediately found Natalie Portman, and her face turned red, "Bo...Miss Portman?"

Tang En frowned and said rudely, "I want to talk to your troupe in a responsible manner. Your performance of "Harry Potter" is suspected of infringement!"

The adaptation right of a book, unless it is specifically stated to be film copyright, is usually the copyright of TV, film, advertising, music, stage play and other related aspects.

The right to adapt the stage play of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is in Dunn's hands.

Soon, Captain Wilson hurriedly came to Dunn.

"Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry, the right to adapt this play is currently in my hands, and in my impression, I have never received any application for adaptation."

The other party was a gentleman in his fifties, Tang En's tone was very euphemistic and kind.

Natalie's expression was indifferent. Although she was surprised, it would not affect normal business operations because of her personal preferences.

Infringement is just wrong!

Intellectual property, in particular, is a key protection object in the United States, and the FBI can directly participate in the investigation, which is no less powerful than the tax authorities.

Captain Wilson felt nervous for a while, "Mr. Walker, we are just a folk performance group, mainly to cultivate children's artistic sense and performance hobby. We are not a profit-making organization, so we..."

Dunn waved his hand, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, we bought tickets to enter."

Captain Wilson was in a hurry and looked very nervous, "Mr. Walker, the ticket issue has nothing to do with us, it is the income of the theater, and we can't get a penny. The purpose of our performance is very simple, to let the children They are brave."

Natalie's face was cold. Seeing more and more people watching, she pulled Dunn, "Let the lawyer handle it, let's get out of here first."

"Miss Portman!"

Captain Wilson begged with a face, and once the lawyers deal with it, even if the compensation is not much, it is definitely not something they, a children's theater company, can afford.

The controversy here has attracted the attention of many parents. They all respect Captain Wilson as a person, and when they see that he is in trouble, they all want to help.

But opposite is Dunn Walker, a major Hollywood director!

And listening to the tone of the two sides, Dunn was obviously not afraid.

In any case, infringement is wrong.

Dunn sighed, "Mr. Wilson, I can see that everyone respects you, which shows that you really care about these children, but you violated my rights after all, are you right?"

"Yes, yes." Captain Wilson nodded again and again, "Mr. Walker, I am willing to make compensation. If possible, for the sake of the children..."

Tang En smiled, came to the young actors of the troupe who had already removed their makeup, crouched down, and looked at them with a smile.

The young actors have indeed cultivated an atmosphere of character. Facing the eyes of major Hollywood directors, they can't avoid it. There are even a few young actors who are still begging for Captain Wilson.

Tang En kindly squatted in front of the young actors and asked with a smile, "Since you all understand that infringement is wrong, shouldn't you be punished?"

"should……"

A weak voice sounded, and was quickly interrupted by another Aokiji's voice, "We shouldn't be punished, we are minors, we do not violate the law!"

Dunn burst out laughing.

The parents who were watching couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone could see Tang En's attitude. In front of this group of children, he had absolutely no thought of pursuing it to the end, otherwise it would be impossible to show his affection like this.

"You are not breaking the law, but Captain Wilson is an adult. What if he is caught by the police?" Dunn said to everyone with a smile.

"That……"

"No, you can't catch him!"

"I'll give you these candies, don't embarrass Captain Wilson, okay?"

……

The young actors are so innocent, even Natalie, who has been watching from the sidelines, is a little moved.

Dunn turned around and smiled at Captain Wilson, "Great kids."

Captain Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the young actors with approval, "Yes, they are all excellent, maybe in a few years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ some of them will be able to go. Hollywood movies."

Tang En smiled, didn't take the blame, and said to the young actors, "Children, Captain Wilson has made a mistake. If any of you are willing to sing a song, I won't hold him accountable, okay?"

"it is good!"

The young voices of the young actors spoke in unison.

Soon, a delicate and generous little girl with blond hair and blue eyes walked out, with sunken eye sockets and high eyebrows, showing a somewhat rebellious and stubborn character.

"I'll sing, Madonna's Hypnosis Story."

Tang En was very happy and immediately applauded, "It's an honor, this beautiful lady, can I know your name?"

With her head held high, she didn't look like a ten-year-old girl at all. She was very grand. "My name is Taylor, Taylor Swift. Actually, I can't act or sing. I'm a poetess!"

The crowd laughed.

Little Taylor's mother, Andrea Swift, came over quickly, her face full of pride and pride, and said to Dunn: "She wrote a poem this year, with more than 120 lines, which won this year's award. The champion of the youth group of the National Poetry Competition."

"More than 120 lines? That has to be three or four pages, right?" Dunn was taken aback. He didn't expect that Taylor Swift, at such a young age, would show an extraordinary talent for lyric writing.

Little Taylor raised his chin, shook his head smugly and said, "Yeah, that poem is the inspiration for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", it's called "The Monster in My Closet", so you can't restrict us from performing " Harry Potter!"

Tang En smiled, "Then you can sing. If it sounds good, I will authorize you to perform for free, okay?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd cheered.

Director Walker is so generous!
