Chapter 187 Plagiarism

In the overseas promotion of The Lion King, Disney has done more quickly. Two weeks after the film was released in North America, it began to enter the most important overseas markets. Western Europe on the other side of the Atlantic and Japan and South Korea in the Far East were all released on a large scale. , almost exactly like the original Jurassic Park, which has swept the movie charts of various countries and swept hundreds of millions of box office.

Media from all over the world have praised the film. After all, this is just an animated film for all ages. Too harsh criticism will only attract laughing stock.

Unexpectedly, voices of doubt and challenge appeared in Japan.

The Lion King, shameful plagiarism!

This is the news that Asahi Shimbun published on the headlines of the entertainment section.

Just last night, after watching the latest animated film The Lion King, I suddenly found that it is so similar to the Forest Emperor by Chinese animation master Tezuka Osamu. , the story of becoming a king, in which the roles of male lion, female lion, lion cub, baboon have obvious overlap. After the author re-checked the information, I found that there are many similar plots between the two sides, and Forest Emperor has long been It was born in 1965, obviously the playwright of The Lion King copied our Lord of the Forest, which is an extremely shameful act...

Next, of course, is the tout of The Forest King and the disdain of The Lion King.

The news quickly reached North America, and Ryan instantly became the focus of the media.

Plagiarized? Of course plagiarism! This is what Ryan thought after he learned about it, but plagiarism has nothing to do with the Japanese. What he plagiarized was just the Lion King image left in his mind from his previous life.

However, the Japanese openly issued a questioning battle post, and of course he would respond, and he would also draw a group of allies and compete with them.

Ryan, what do you think of the claim that the Japanese plagiarized? Ryan walked out of Disney. Stopped by reporters.

The Lion King is indeed plagiarized!

Ryan admitted generously that all the reporters opened their mouths in shock. This young man is becoming one of the representatives of American and Hollywood culture. Wouldn't this plagiarism make the entire North American entertainment industry embarrassed together?

I copied Shakespeare's The Prince's Revenge. I think everyone already knows this, right? Ryan opened his hands innocently.

Yeah! The reporters echoed, in addition to animal images, The Lion King has at least 60% of Hamlet's shadow.

The Jungle Book appeared earlier than The Lion King,

But The Prince's Revenge appeared earlier. According to the logic of the Japanese, did Forest Emperor also plagiarize The Prince's Revenge? Ryan is obviously running a train, I want to ask you, are the Japanese words credible? Don't forget Pearl Harbor!

Also, I put Shakespeare's classics and not plagiarize them, but plagiarize Japanese works. Do you think that is necessary? I think the Japanese think their works are more classic and famous than Shakespeare! Ryan said very seriously, Frankly speaking. I am paying tribute to the great Shakespeare in this way!

Since The Lion King is the animal version of The Prince's Revenge, how can the Kingdom of Great Britain stay out of it?

I'm not firing a map gun, right? Certainly not! Ryan considers himself a very conscientious person.

His personal response, as a client, provided enough guns and ammunition for North American media reporters, and he threw out carefully crafted articles. Without exception, they all stood on Ryan's side.

This is normal, even in an open country like the United States, there are still xenophobia and territorial protection, and Ryan is almost a star they brought up. It doesn't matter how you teach your own children, if outsiders take action, they will be sorry.

What's more, there is hype and news to have sales.

I heard the criticism of The Lion King by my Japanese counterparts. I specially recruited The Forest King and browsed many episodes overnight, and found that the plagiarism was obviously made up. The Lion King was adapted from Shakespeare's Hamlet, The main plot is closely related to the theme of the prince's revenge, supplemented by elements such as responsibility and family. The Great Forest mainly tells about the struggle and cooperation between animals and humans. The themes of the two films are completely different...

Large-scale media are all doing well-founded analysis. The reason is very simple. When charging into battle, naturally there are tabloids ahead.

Like Ryan said before the movie was released, The Lion King was inspired by The Prince's Revenge, and has nothing to do with the anime that the Japanese mentioned that most Americans don't even know the name of. I want to ask my colleagues in Japan, have you seen Shakespeare? Can you understand Shakespeare? Or do you think Japanese culture can enter North America and influence Hollywood? In front of the great Shakespeare, your works are not worth it at all. Just to mention...

This is the more polite in the tabloids, and there is a more radical clamor.

Does Ryan need to plagiarize? He has been in the public eye for almost four years, during which time he has published many classic works, which are very popular in North America and all over the world. Do you Japanese really think that the people of the United States are all fools? Teenagers deceive? I remember Ryan once wrote a humorous story in Vanity Fair, and there was a sentence in it to describe his Japanese counterparts - the way a fool deals with a smart person is to treat the smart person's Bring your IQ down to the same level, and use the stupidest method to bring them down - the Japanese are obviously using this trick against the high-IQ Ryan, against us America!

What is The Great Forest, I don't think we need to watch it at all. When has the Japanese words been reliable? Don't forget Pearl Harbor...

Japanese culture, in the United States, can only be regarded as the last in the Western world. With Ryan's status in Hollywood, do you need to copy the last culture?

The tabloids are gearing up for a showdown with their counterparts on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Since Ryan Jenkins gave them ample reasons in his response, they must make full use of it and attract the attention of the United States and even the world.

Well... by the way, the newspapers are sold out, and the bonuses and benefits are in your pocket.

Of course, as long as the media present at the time were in prominent positions, Ryan's response was published, especially in his remarks, full of respect for Shakespeare and his works, which immediately won the favor of the British media.

Besides, Ryan lived in London for two years during the critical period of his growth, and the Harry Potter series is an uncompromising British literature, which is his own person in the eyes of the British media.

Japanese look down on Shakespeare...

Please ask the Japanese colleagues to find a person who can compare with Shakespeare from your history...

The Japanese lack the most basic respect for the Kingdom of Great Britain...

The Japanese are synonymous with perfidy, don't forget what they did to us fifty years ago...

There is no lower limit on Fleet Street. They are eager to have hot topics to hype every day. How could they miss such an opportunity.

North American reporters are gearing up to fight with the other side of the Atlantic, ready to compete with the Japanese.

The British reporters were staring at them, and as long as the Japanese started to fight back, they would ridicule the Japanese in the same way they mocked Uncle Sam.

However, the second day passed, the third day passed, and the media in the Far East was silent. After the first day of reporting, no questioning articles were published.

What's going on here?

After the interview, Ryan instructed George to order a copy of all the newspapers available in the market, ready to watch a wonderful war of words.

It's interesting that the media of the father's country teach the peers of the son's country a lesson, isn't it?

The final winner of such a war of words must be Lao Tzu, not his son. For him, there is not much loss. Instead, he can use the hype to make his name more famous.

Besides, he immediately asked Wilson to send a lawyer's letter, requesting that the other party must apologize, otherwise there would definitely be a cross-border lawsuit.

What Ryan didn't know was that as soon as the report appeared, Walt Disney and Bowei Pictures sent sternly worded lawyer's letters. Perhaps the Asahi Shimbun has the confidence to face a Hollywood star, but this Such remarks that may trigger a war between giants will naturally be handled with caution.

What's more, when the Japanese face the Americans, they will naturally be one head short.

After the third day, the Asahi Shimbun dismissed the editor and the reporter who wrote the article, and issued a public apology statement. The media on both sides of the Atlantic immediately groaned. They didn't expect to jump up and down. , the Japanese turned out to be a tortoise.

The opponent is not strong, and the war of words will naturally not start. This time the storm started quickly, but it dissipated faster.

Ryan couldn't help but feel bored. The bench, peanuts, and soda were all ready, and it ended up being empty.

Is this the difference between a dog and its owner? This incident also made him feel a little more.

As for whether Disney's The Lion King in the previous life copied The Jungle Book, then it doesn't matter to him, and Ryan doesn't have the time in the United States to read The Jungle Book again.

In fact, he still has an impression of this animation. He vaguely remembers watching it in his previous life. The protagonist seems to be a white lion, but he has completely forgotten the specific plot.

This incident brought another benefit. A few days later, Pie Kingsley called and said that a Japanese game club wanted to buy the game adaptation rights of Resident Evil and develop it into a terminal game.

Pat, let the team talk with the Japanese slowly. Nicole and I have been short of money recently, you understand!

It is impossible to be short of money. Disney has already entered Ryan’s account for the first share of “The Lion King”. “Jurassic Park” has not yet been released in many overseas areas, and the surrounding sales are still hot. A steady stream of profits. (To be continued..)
