Sina Entertainment News The touching film "Mom Don't Cry", which shows the affection of mother and daughter in Wenchuan earthquake, was held in China Film Group on April 15. The film was released by a company at the beginning of this year, and the film party has called the police and prosecuted the relevant responsible person. China Film Group will restart the full release of the film as a partner.
Many provinces and cities were renamed and released.
On February 1 1, 2009, Beijing Chen Jing Culture and Art Exchange Co., Ltd. (Party A) and Guangzhou Danhong Advertising Co., Ltd. (Party B) signed a distribution and screening contract for the film "Don't cry, Mom". In the contract, it was restricted that the copyright copy purchased by Party B was only allowed to be screened in Hainan Province, and no distribution and screening activities were allowed outside the area stipulated in the contract. In order to ensure the integrity of the film during the screening, it is forbidden to cross the screen or copy the film, infringe or convert it into other carriers, otherwise it will compensate Party A for its economic losses and bear legal responsibilities.
But to the surprise of the producers, from February to March, 2009, cinemas in Maoming, Dongguan, Zhanjiang, Qingyuan, Anhui, Hebei, Henan and other places took the first emotional science and education film "Don't cry, Wenchuan Mom" as the slogan and continued to show it every night. The cinema not only openly renamed the film title "Don't cry, Mom" approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television as "Don't cry, Wenchuan", but also did not indicate the list of production companies, directors and related cast members on the poster, while the original film "Don't cry, Mom" was shown in a packed theater.
Even more distressing, on April 4th, 2009, Cao Guiqian, the director of the film, came to Mianyang, Sichuan to pay homage to the children of Beichuan Middle School who were killed in the earthquake, only to find that "Mom Don't Cry" was still shown in Mianyang Fujiang Theater and cinemas in Pixian, Chongzhou, Meishan and Guangyuan in Chengdu, Sichuan, with an average of about 10 every day.
Track piracy and restart distribution.
Where on earth did the copies used for screening in cinemas in so many areas come from? In the investigation, the person in charge of the cinema could not provide the source basis, only revealed that it was sent by a group of Cantonese who fled the scene in the chaos that day.
After many on-the-spot investigations and unannounced visits, Party A proved that the screening copy came from "Guangzhou Danhong Advertising Company" which signed a contract with it. The company broke the contract so quickly and secretly showed the film outside the contract, which caused Party A to suffer huge economic losses. However, Party A has entrusted a lawyer to continue to pursue this matter and report the case to the public security organs in both places. Lawyers believe that if the amount of illegal income of Party B reaches the standard stipulated by law, their behavior may constitute a criminal offence.
On the same day, Weng Li, spokesperson of China Film Group and vice president of the distribution company, signed a distribution agreement with Cao Guiqian, general manager of Beijing Culture and Art Exchange Co., Ltd., the producer of Mom Don't Cry. At the same time, Weng Li said that China Film Group will fully resist the infringement, and announced on the spot that it will fully assist the release and screening of the film "Mom Don't Cry".
Director Zhou of Market Management Department of Film Bureau of State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Mo Min of China Film Copyright Association, Secretary General of China Film Producers Association, Vice President of the Group, Du Yu, one of the top ten producers in China, and CEO of Shanxi Meilong Group also talked about the infringement of Don't Cry at the press conference that day. After the press conference, the production unit reported to the guests and media reporters that the copy of the film "Mom Don't Cry" was developed by Cao Guiqian of Fujiang Cinema in Mianyang, Sichuan, with copy number 1. Everyone watched the screening of this film with mixed feelings. , text
