Strictly speaking, Zhou Shuai's identity as a paparazzi is not an honorable thing.
After all, this is a court.
This is a very solemn and sacred place.
Is it appropriate for you, a defendant, to smile brightly in court?
This is very inappropriate.
Not only that, it will make people feel that you are disrespecting the court.
So, when Zhou Shuai walked into the court and sat down, his expression gradually became serious. This serious feeling seemed a little bit heavy...
Fatty Wei was also serious, as if he was judging someone. He sat silently beside Zhou Shuai, his expression solemn as if he was waiting for something horrible. He kept talking to the lawyer next to him, and the more he talked, the more solemn his expression became. He also kept glancing in the direction of Century Company, revealing an expression of awe but not submission...
In fact, both Zhou Shuai and Wei Pangzi kept staring at the empty seat from time to time, where Andrew was sitting.
Although their expressions were sad, the expectation and excitement hidden in their eyes betrayed their true inner thoughts.
seem……
Both of them were eager to try, as if they wanted to kill a god?
Little Jackson, the central figure, sat a little behind the two.
He looked at everything around him, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead from time to time, his fear and tension were self-evident.
There is an open position on the Century side, and of course there is also an open position on the "remote" side.
Lu Yuan and Andrew...
Just like the plot in the movies, the big guys always appear last.
…
"Good morning, Mr. Andrew."
"Good morning, Mr. Lu Yuan."
"Mr. Andrew, I hope we can clarify the misunderstanding this time to avoid being instigated by certain media. What do you think?"
"Mr. Lu Yuan, when you say this, you should first ask yourself, who is the one who instigated this, or what do you want?"
"I didn't think anything of that. I just wanted everyone to make a good movie, and then..."
"Mr. Lu Yuan!"
"ah?"
"I hope you can apologize to me now, then I can consider asking for less compensation from you!"
"Mr. Andrew, why should I apologize? And, Mr. Andrew, don't you think about why you can't keep Director Jackson?"
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I hope you can still smile like this later."
“I hope I can still smile like this later.”
It was obvious that Lu Yuan and Andrew's first communication was not very pleasant.
Andrew hated Lu Yuan very much.
Lu Yuan smiled brightly and sincerely.
But this kind of smile made Andrew want to tear him into pieces. No matter what, Andrew only saw hypocrisy. The more sincere Lu Yuan's smile was, the more hypocritical he felt it was.
The two of them walked up the stairs and entered the court, side by side from beginning to end. Just when they were about to separate, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Andrew.” Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Andrew very seriously, and his sincere smile turned into a sincere expression.
“???” Andrew was stunned when he heard Lu Yuan’s apology.
He never expected Lu Yuan to apologize suddenly, and in such a weird atmosphere, a sudden apology was really embarrassing.
"Actually, I really should apologize. After thinking about it, I should apologize for my rudeness. At the same time, my company's employees did some immature things and angered you due to their youthful recklessness. I want to apologize to you for their rudeness... We were indeed wrong in these areas. At the same time, I apologize to you for what we are going to do next..." Lu Yuan looked at Andrew seriously.
"Lu Yuan! What is your purpose? What are you going to do?" Andrew narrowed his eyes, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Lu Yuan's voice was so calm that Andrew felt like he was seeing a stranger.
He was not used to Lu Yuan speaking in that tone.
Andrew has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he should be able to remain calm no matter what happens. Moreover, his evidence is enough to prove many things, so he should be completely confident of winning.
but……
He suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Lu Yuan was the strangest person he had ever met. At the same time, Lu Yuan's entire team, including all the things that had happened before, revealed a sense of weirdness. They did not play by the rules and were hard to guard against...
In short!
This is very unscientific.
"We don't intend to do anything, we just want to apologize to you in advance. Of course, after this incident, if possible, I hope we can maintain a certain level of cooperation. I will cooperate with you with the most sincere and serious attitude. Of course, rationally I know that it is impossible for us to cooperate again. We may be rivals for life!" After Lu Yuan said this sincerely, he lowered his head to Andrew again, then turned and walked away.
“…”
Andrew stared at Lu Yuan's back.
He gradually became extremely gloomy, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
The anger burned.
but……
When burning to the limit...
Andrew suddenly smiled.
Then he walked away.
…
"Our client accused Mr. Wei Wuji of stealing Century's commercial secrets by improper means, causing major losses to Century, and poaching directors from Century by equally abnormal means. In addition, we also accused Remote Entertainment of violating the commercial terms by 20 egregious means..."
“…”
"These are the evidences. I hope the inspectors can carefully check the authenticity of the evidences..."
The trial was not dragged out and started very quickly.
Century Company took a large stack of documents and materials and handed them over to the relevant personnel again. At the same time, a tall lawyer stated the crimes of "Remote" Entertainment in a very harsh voice.
Lu Yuan scratched his head.
For some reason, he felt that what he heard made sense. He inexplicably felt that Fatty Wei was a person who committed a heinous crime and should be sentenced.
In fact, Lu Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that Fatty Wei’s work was indeed not done in an authentic way.
Some are too shameless...
The jurors at the back had originally calm expressions, but now they even showed some disgust when they looked at Fatty Wei.
In their view, the evidence presented by Century Company was conclusive and had been exposed on the Internet before. The only difference was that the evidence this time was more detailed and more serious.
It can be seen that although this is a compromise trial, Century Company is still very eager to win!
"Defendant's lawyer, do you have anything to say?"
The court looked towards Fatty Wei.
"I think our client..."
"I'll do it..."
The lawyer was about to stand up to defend Fatty Wei, but Fatty Wei pulled the lawyer's hand.
The lawyer was stunned.
You coming up?
Although he felt that Fatty Wei's actions were a little puzzling, he still sat down and handed the information to Fatty Wei.
Fatty Wei looked in Andrew's direction.
Then he looked at the camera again.
Then...
Under the gaze of the crowd, his body trembled, and then his tears flowed uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, I... I thought I could handle these measures well, but I really can't control myself and feel a little uncomfortable..."
“…”
“…”
What are you doing?
What on earth is this person trying to do?
The court is not a social media like Weibo or Twitter, okay?
When Andrew saw Fatty Wei's sudden appearance and seemingly collapsed emotions, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"First... I want to... Sorry, I wiped my tears, I want to make one thing clear, we are kind-hearted young people with dreams and aspirations, we have no intention of offending anyone, we only want to do good to Hollywood, the United States and the world, in fact, I..."
Fatty Wei cried as he delivered his long speech.
There was also a choking feeling in it.
It simply makes the listeners sad and brings tears to their eyes.
Lu Yuan was stunned.
It's really unreasonable not to give him the Best Actor award.
"First, regarding the information, I admit that I did look for information on many Hollywood directors, but I found all of this information on Huaxia Sodu Encyclopedia. It's some very simple public information, not as serious as Century Company said. Because we are Chinese, I have always heard that Hollywood is somewhat xenophobic, so the purpose of looking for this information is not to poach them, but just to make friends with them and exchange film shooting techniques... Besides, can a small company like our 'Remote' poach those big directors?"
"Of course, you can slander me about these things, it doesn't matter... Next, I will talk about the issue of timing..."
"First of all, I can fully disclose the video of Mr. Jackson and I chatting together. We have the video of the details of the moment we met and what happened afterwards... Of course, in addition to this, there is also the recording of the call. Everyone thinks that the recording might be fake, but this is the information I personally went to the telecommunications company to get, the recording, and the backup at the time point. These can all be proven to be true!"
“…”
Fatty Wei handed over a few CDs and a stack of recordings from the communications company.
After inspection, there was no problem with the CD or the recording file.
They are all real stuff.
…
"This is the recording of me calling Little Jackson on August 2. I just wanted to ask Mr. Jackson to have tea and talk about movies... Mr. Jackson rejected me."
"This is the recording from August 3rd to August 5th. Mr. Jackson also rejected me."
"This is August 6th..."
“…”
Fatty Wei started to introduce the recording file while crying. The recording file was very short, but everyone could hear Fatty Wei's sincerity and desire for science fiction movies, just like a fan trying to please his idol.
When the jury heard this, they immediately felt some sympathy for Fatty Wei who was rejected again and again.
This person...
It seems a bit pitiful.
Andrew's pupils shrank.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might have fallen into an extremely sophisticated, even horrifying, pit.
This fat guy!
What exactly is his plan?
And one link after another!
This person is so scary.
He subconsciously recalled the so-called photos.
As all the documents were exposed bit by bit, he suddenly found that the evidence that was once extremely conclusive was no longer convincing at all.
"Of course, this is the record of my call with Mr. Peter of Century Company on August 13, which is the so-called 'purchased information'. In fact, I didn't buy it, and our communication has always been very public. We even made an appointment to go to a cafe, and we also conducted it under the camera in the cafe. Although our voices were very low, you can hear our conversation. Our conversation has always mentioned some questions about Mr. Jackson's living habits and what hobbies Mr. Jackson has. This... So, Mr. Peter, you don't have to stand up and perjure yourself. You are innocent, and so am I."
“…”
Fatty Wei turned his head and glanced at Peter, who had a pale face in the corner.
He exhaled.
"Also, for the following photos, except for a few photos that are too private and have no source, every other photo has a video... Maybe if the video is not enough, you can check my whereabouts, including some travel records, including... Fortunately, I am an upright person, otherwise, I really can't reason with you."
“…”
“…”
Fatty Wei wiped away his tears.
Facing Andrew, the origin of each photo, including explanations and even other things were explained clearly.
Every word he said was logical, and combined with the whereabouts records found by the investigation team, then...
All the extremely solid evidence provided by Century Company was overturned one by one.
Even the video of Jackson crying sadly in "Remote" Entertainment and saying "the company forced him to sign a ten-year contract" was exposed...
This is tantamount to a slap in the face, and a very hard slap in the face.
Although Andrew's expression looked calm, his hands trembled slightly.
At this moment, he no longer felt any anger towards Fatty Wei, and even only felt admiration and a hint of creepiness.
Yes!
This fat guy is really scary.
He even now doubted the entire lawsuit, and even he had become a pawn of Fatty Wei, a pawn of Fatty Wei.
They were completely unaware and were all led in by Fatty Wei.
No wonder he was so fearless before, no wonder...
Andrew took a deep breath.
"Now, I... want to say something very seriously to Mr. Andrew, Mr. Andrew! You have defamed us, which constitutes the crime of defamation. I have evidence for this. At the same time... you have bullied us, a group of sincere people with dreams. You have been racially discriminating against us from the very beginning. You have even said some racially discriminatory things in private several times. The video of Mr. Jackson's chat with us revealed that you once called me, Wei Wuji, a pig! You are extremely discriminatory against me!"
"I feel that our dignity has been greatly insulted, and I feel very angry... You can't treat me like this!"
"I'm suing you for this!"
“…”
“…”
Under the court.
Fatty Wei seemed to have suffered a great humiliation and roared at the extremely gloomy Andrew.
It seems...
Like losing my mind.
Andrew clenched his fists and stared at Fatty Wei.
He wanted to kill Fatty Wei.
but……
He knew there was nothing he could do.
He suddenly became a bad guy and used countless false evidence to slander "Chengdu", attempting to push Yuancheng into the abyss and ruin Fatty Wei's reputation.
But now…
He suddenly realized that the "remote" group was a bunch of lunatics!
And whoever he catches will be bitten!
"Mr. Wei, I hope you can calm down! I can't calm down. Who can calm down in this situation?"
“…”
"Calm down, how can I calm down? He insulted me, how can I calm down?"
“…”
…
Fatty Wei forced himself to add drama.
and……
So many more scenes were added?
After seeing this scene, Lu Yuan was completely stunned!
However, looking at Fatty Wei's extremely angry and furious look, it didn't seem like he was acting, it was as if he had really been hit in a sore spot.
Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the video in which when Jackson said Andrew called Fatty Wei a pig, Fatty Wei seemed to be furious. It seemed that, in life, Fatty Wei also hated being called fat by others besides himself...
He felt it was an insult!
This guy, it seems like he is really into the role?
However, he knew that he had to stop Fatty Wei from spitting everywhere, otherwise if he continued to make a fuss, there would be no way to resolve this matter.
"Director Wei, calm down..."
"Ayuan, I want to beat him up right now..."
“…”
After seeing this scene, the jurors were all stunned.
This lawsuit seems to have evolved from a business dispute at the beginning to racial discrimination?
The staff are also very worried.
Fortunately, this trial was not public.
Otherwise, this matter would really make international news and cause a big incident.
…
Andrew's face turned red.
Although his lawyer stood up to defend him, the anger in his heart surged up again.
He wants to tear Fatty Wei apart!
insult!
Yes, now it is an insult to him.
Every word that Fatty Wei said seemed to penetrate deep into his heart, making him extremely angry.
In this lawsuit, he completely turned from the attacker to the attacked party.
He even suspected that this lawsuit, including everything that happened before, was all planned, and he just went along with it.
If I didn't cooperate, so many things wouldn't have happened.
but……
That's what he did.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
This anger is not only directed at Jackson and Fatty Wei, but also at others!
Then...
I don’t know how long it took!
He couldn't help but stand up!
However, the moment he stood up, his vision went dark.
I fainted somehow.
