Chapter 1883 Gossip (Not in Good Condition, I Don’t Even Know It)
Chapter 1883 Gossip (in a bad state, I don’t even know what I wrote)
Marx and his children visited Kay's home, but unfortunately they did not see Kay himself. But that's not important. It would be nice to see Kai. After all, many things can be discussed face to face. It doesn't matter if they don't meet. Marx doesn't need Kai to guarantee anything to him personally. He just needs to complete the visit to Kai's home.
In fact, Marx hopes that he and Kai will not have too much involvement. He just wants to live in peace and contentment until retirement, and has no intention of entering the officialdom to show off his power. Since he has no ambitions, there is no need to have close contact with the backstage. After all, if his relationship with Kai is not close, although he will get less help, the corresponding responsibilities and troubles he needs to face will be. It becomes less.
If others knew that he was related to Kai, they would be less likely to deal with him for no reason. In the same way, since others know that his relationship with Kai is like that, no one will really make great efforts to deal with him, because dealing with himself is nothing to Kai. If someone else eats too much, deal with him?
Small troubles can't find him, and big troubles can't get to him either.

How perfect?
And since the relationship is far away, Kai won't expect him to do much. In this way, he will get a lot less trouble from Kai.
Is it a good fit?
Of course, with Wanda and Pietro, he was not worried that if Kai was not at home, he would be rejected. In fact, Raven received their family very appropriately as a hostess. Even stopped at Kay's house for an afternoon.
This is not a treatment that ordinary people can have.
Ever since Kai became famous, countless people would want to visit Kai. All kinds of people, most of whom have aspirations.
Some of the requests are bizarre, and some are even dumbfounding.
Among them, the biggest shock to Ruiwen and Ah Fu was that a film company came to them hoping to get authorization... But as soon as they finished saying their names, they were kicked away by the housekeeper Ah Fu. Because they're Disney...these grandsons are so audacious.
Disney is definitely not just a company that makes cartoons.
Are your impressions of Disney still limited to "the one who makes cartoons", "the one who runs amusement parks" and "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck"? Disney, founded in 1926, has a history of nearly 100 years, and its market value has reached US$180 billion. If you are not sensitive to this data, it is equivalent to 18 Wang Jianlin's Wanda!
The most powerful thing is Disney’s packaging and rights protection for its products. There is a joke about this in the United States: If one day you fall on an isolated island, the best way to be rescued is to draw a huge one on the island. Mickey Mouse, Disney's legal department will come as quickly as possible to sue you!
The story is still in 1790. The earliest copyright law in the United States established that the copyright protection period was only 14 years. Later, it was revised several times, from 14 years to 28 years and then to 1976. At that time, the copyright protection period in the United States was In 1956, if Disney implements this law, Mickey Mouse's copyright will be legally used by everyone in 1984! But of course Disney refused. Through a chemical reaction with a lot of manpower and material resources, it successfully promoted changes in US law and extended copyright protection to 75 years. Mickey Mouse also successfully extended its life to 2023! Netizens shouted that Tencent’s legal department and Disney’s legal department would have a fierce collision!
When it comes to copyright protection, Disney has successfully achieved the goal of "doing everything by hand, no matter how small it is." As long as you dare to infringe, whether you are a big shot or a small person, Disney's legal affairs will punish you. In the 1980s, a sixth-grade graduate of a primary school in Japan drew a Mickey Mouse pattern on the bottom of the school swimming pool to commemorate their graduation, which was reported by a local newspaper. Of course, our Dad Di quickly received this report and sent a warning letter to the school on the grounds of "copyright infringement", asking the school to stop the infringement and remove the Mickey Mouse painting in the swimming pool. Although public opinion at the time believed that this was just a simple graduation ceremony for children, Disney was too sensitive. But our father Di ignored it at all. He only believed that using my son’s image for publicity was infringement. In the end, the school was forced to withdraw the painting. I wonder if this graduating class has ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping in their hearts. And passed. This rights protection incident is also the earliest rights protection incident recorded by Disney. To say that the Japanese school incident is just a minor incident against foreigners, then Disney is also ruthless towards big figures in the country.
At the 61st Academy Awards in 1989, popular singers Erin Bowman and Rob Lowe sang at the opening ceremony of the party. Among them, Erin Bowman sang as the character from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" The image of Snow White appears. This successfully attracted the attention of Disney. They believed that Erin Bowman had misappropriated the company's copyrighted image without Disney's authorization and seriously infringed on Disney's copyright. For this reason, Disney directly contacted Come on, Oscar organizers, this is the famous Snow White incident at the Oscars. You are so powerful and majestic, you black-faced man.
There are also the more familiar "Naruto plagiarized Captain America's storyboard" incident and the "Magneto" title incident of a domestic rapper. The Naruto production team only copied a few seconds of storyboards when making animations and received an official "infringement warning letter" from Disney. Disney used real cases to illustrate that the iron fist of Disney's legal department fell on every corner of the world. As long as you dare to infringe, he will be there at any time.
In general infringement cases, Disney will not solve them through legal procedures at the beginning, but will send a warning letter to ask the other party to stop the infringement. If the other party refuses to cooperate, Disney will also ruthlessly take up the big stick of law to teach you how to be a human being. For example, in 2008, Disney sued a couple who ran party services in Florida, USA, just because they wore doll costumes with Disney characters in the promotional video of their business. For this reason, Disney asked the couple to send the costumes to Disney so that they could destroy them, but at that time the couple returned the costumes to the original seller in exchange for the money they used to buy the costumes. Of course, Disney was not polite to such uncooperative little people, and directly filed a lawsuit against them for up to one million US dollars in compensation. It was really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. In 2012, a Japanese fan club directly used the image of Mickey Mouse in a game produced by one of the villains, and it was the tragic villain who would be killed by players in the game. How could Disney tolerate this? He directly asked to terminate the development and distribution of the game and compensate Disney up to 6 million yen.
Disney not only has strong creativity in its own original IP images, but also is good at "saving effort" for its own creative team. Gary Goldman, a well-known Hollywood film screenwriter who created "Minority Report", sued Disney, claiming that Disney's "Zootopia" was quite similar to a work called "Rooney" registered by him with the Writers Guild of America in 2000. At that time, he also provided Disney with a complete script outline, character concept drawings and other materials, but Disney rejected Goldman's proposal at that time.
Now Disney has copied his ideas and modified the characters of his works for commercial profit without his permission, which seriously infringes his copyright. As for Goldman's lawsuit, Disney, which has the strongest legal department on the planet, claimed that this was a completely flawed accusation, and Goldman was just a speculator who wanted to share the profits after seeing the success of the movie! As expected, the US federal court eventually dismissed Goldman's accusation on the grounds of "insufficient infringing materials" and the matter was finally left unresolved. It has to be said that Disney's legal affairs are malpractices, and capital is justice. There is also the well-known animation "The Lion King", which has the shadow of "The Jungle Emperor" by the Japanese animation master Osamu Tezuka, and there is a high degree of similarity in both the character design and the character nicknames.
Since 1997, Disney has spent more than 87 million US dollars on lobbying Congress alone, and this money is only used to "influence intellectual property legislation." At the same time, Disney will re-interpret the image of its characters such as Mickey Mouse every once in a while to form new image works, so as to obtain new copyrights. And they are skilled in using the laws of various countries to protect their characters. Apart from other things, Disney has applied for the registration of more than 4,000 trademarks in no less than 50 categories for Mickey Mouse in China alone. Basically, everyone you can think of has registered in advance. Ordinary people may face Disney copyright infringement lawsuits if they don't pay attention.
And by reinterpreting the images of its characters, Disney can update and promote them in a timely manner to maximize the copyright value of the characters. In this way, even if the copyright of the old characters expires, they will not suffer much loss. After all, a new generation replaces the old one. It can be said that under such strict property rights protection, any criminal who wants to reap the fruits will be deterred. The real killer of Disney's dominance in the copyright industry is Disney's legal team, which is known as the strongest legal department on the surface.
According to Disney's existing data, Disney's legal team had more than 350 lawyers worldwide 17 years ago, and Disney's legal department not only has an astonishing number of lawyers, but also has an amazing system of professional titles and salaries. Disney's legal department not only has multiple levels of job title evaluation, including chief lawyer, deputy chief lawyer, ordinary trial lawyer, patent law professional lawyer, television and film business lawyer, professional business lawyer, executive lawyer, chief executive lawyer, etc., but each level corresponds to an astonishingly high salary level. Take Alan Braverman, the general counsel of Disney in 2016, for example. His salary in 2016 alone was as high as US$11,473,666 (equivalent to about RMB 75 million). This was also the highest salary among legal counsels in the world at that time. Such a salary is really unimaginable for ordinary people. Of course, what he does is really amazing.
In 1989, Disney spokesman Irving Okun said a classic sentence: "We are always in litigation."
Of course, after saying so much to exaggerate Disney, I just want to make one thing clear, that is, it is best not to let your copyright fall into Disney's hands, otherwise... you will be squeezed out by them.
Disney representatives went to Kay with bad intentions from the beginning.
They want the copyright of Kay's image!
At first, Riven was quite happy... Anyway, Disney has left a positive impression on the world, and few Westerners don't know Disney. Although Riven didn't intend to agree to them at first, she also wanted to hear what they were going to do.
As a result, the old ghost Afu soon discovered the problem.
There is a trap in Disney's contract. They want to completely control the copyright of Kai's image!
Although the money given is a lot, they can even exchange it with stocks.
But that means that Kai's image is no longer Kai's, but belongs to Disney!
This is naked robbery. Don't believe that Disney has any childlike innocence. This is a naked capital group! And it is a very bad one. They will squeeze out the last bit of Kai's value!
For example, they prohibit Kai from appearing in any public media, and they can arrange a lot of GG for Kai, but they don't need to notify Kai. For example, they can prohibit Kai from doing anything, and the reason is very simple that it seriously affects the image of Disney.
In short, this is equivalent to kidnapping Kai!
So Disney was driven away
Then the two major consortiums, Stark and Wayne Group, went to trouble Disney, and the result was that Disney apologized and fired the representative.
In fact, neither Raven nor Alfu were sure whether the matter was really as Disney said, that the representative acted on his own initiative.
Or was there another reason behind it.
This kind of thing seems nonsensical, but in fact, others are also in the mentality of giving it a try. It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed, just firing an employee. Disney will not lose anything, after all, Kai and Tony can't really do anything to them because of this.
Their business has nothing to do with Kai and his friends, but once it succeeds, the benefits will be huge.
This kind of benefit is not only a monetary benefit, but can even put a collar on Kai to a certain extent and tame him little by little!
Don't think it's alarmist, there is really no shortage of smart people in this world. After all, once Kai signs the contract, they can start to control Kai through various channels... It's not the kind of simple and crude slavery... Kai is not a fool, after all, he can sue, or simply break the contract, but it's a kind of blunt knife cutting meat, little by little, little by little.
In short, there are many people who want to visit Kai, but not many can really enter the house and stay for such a long time.
Marx is very satisfied.
Because this is enough as a backstage!
