Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Shocking Reversal
The person who spoke was none other than the boss of Matsudaira Tea Industry, Zhao Shicheng.
As soon as he spoke out, the reporters in the audience responded one after another.
As the parties, Jiang Rongqing, Song Yunyan, and Bai Tao were all asked to come to the stage and sit in the position of spokesman.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry, I can only be unrighteous if you are unkind. ”
Zhao Shicheng sat next to Jiang Rongqing, saying sorry, but his face was full of cruelty.
Jiang Rongqing sneered, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhao's set, I'm afraid it was set up at the beginning of the signing, right?"
Ten times the liquidated damages.
It was as if EK had been expected to default for a long time.
Zhao Shicheng looked proud, but said in his mouth: "Mr. Jiang laughed, the contract was signed by you personally." How could a smart person like you fall for me?"
"You!"
He insulted Jiang Rongqing in a weird way, Song Yunyan couldn't listen to it, and wanted to scold people in anger.
A hand hung down and pinched her fingers under the podium to calm her down.
Glaring at Zhao Shicheng coldly, she swallowed back, and listened to the fake voice surnamed Zhao and said to the reporters in the audience: "Okay, reporters and friends can ask questions." ”
Journalists have been waiting for the big news for a long time.
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone immediately stood up.
"Mr. Zhao, you accused EK of dishonesty and refused to compensate for liquidated damages as agreed. Where did EK default?"
The reporters are all rushing to the plagiarism incident in the city, but after all, it is a press conference held by Songpei Tea Industry, and they still have to ask about the Songping Group first.
"EK's main movie "Beichuan Xing" was plagiarized from the script and discredited. We, Matsudaira Tea, as advertisers, have also suffered damage to our reputation, so of course we have to claim compensation. ”
Zhao Shicheng moved the microphone, and after speaking, he glanced at Ji Ying in the audience.
This glance did not escape Jiang Rongqing's sight at all.
Seeing this, his lips hooked coldly, and a sneer came out of his nose.
"Then, can Mr. Jiang respond to the matter of compensation?"
The reporter immediately pointed the finger at Jiang Rongqing.
"Absolutely. ”
As soon as Jiang Rongqing spoke up, the spotlight of the audience was aimed at him.
In the sound of the shutter of "click", he hooked his lips and smiled decently, and asked Zhao Shicheng first: "Mr. Zhao said that the premise of the claim is that the script of "Beichuan Xing" is plagiarized, right?"
"Of course!"
Zhao Shicheng said immediately.
"Then, if there is no plagiarism in the movies that my company mainly invests, can I conclude that it is Matsudaira Tea Industry that slanders our company?"
"This ......"
Zhao Shicheng's eyes rolled, a little hesitant.
"Isn't it?"
Jiang Rongqing was not aggressive and ruthless.
can be a simple urge, because of his powerful aura, it made Zhao Shicheng tremble.
Glancing at Ji Ying again, Zhao Shicheng thought of Jiang Rongqing's attitude that Jiang Rongqing didn't dare to respond to the plagiarism incident these days, and boldly said, "Yes!"
Anyway, the plagiarism of "Beichuan Xing" is certain, what is he afraid of!
Hearing this, Jiang Rongqing raised his eyebrows shallowly and sneered: "That's good." ”
Turning his head, he continued to respond to the reporter: "You heard it, Mr. Zhao admitted to slandering EK." As a cooperative Party A, a Party B who slanders our company and rudely proposes to terminate the contract is the real breaching party. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Shicheng coldly, and said word by word: "Therefore, not only will I not compensate for the liquidated damages demanded by Songping Tea Industry, but I will also claim compensation from Songping Tea Industry with the same amount." ”
The voice does not fall.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
"Is Jiang always crazy?
"The premise that he can claim compensation for Songpei Tea Industry is that there is no plagiarism in "Beichuan Xing", and this premise is not valid!"
If there was really evidence that there was no plagiarism, he would have taken it out a long time ago, and he would have been scolded on the hot search for more than ten days?"
“......”
There was an uproar in the audience.
Song Yunyan glanced sideways at the man who was confident, and suddenly made up his mind.
Soon, a reporter stood up and asked: "Then how can Mr. Jiang prove that "Beichuan Xing" is not plagiarized?"
The most concerned issue has finally been thrown out.
Jiang Rongqing raised his hand very gentlemanly and pointed in the direction of Bai Tao on the other side.
"The specific response to this matter is for Bai Dao to everyone. ”
As a script writer, Bai Tao is the central figure in the plagiarism turmoil.
These days, his cell phone doesn't work, and he never goes out.
An attitude that can't be evasive of the media.
But at this moment, he first smiled generously at Jiang Rongqing, and then Shi Shiran stood up, called his assistant, and put a few documents on the podium.
For a while, the cameras of all reporters were focused on him.
Song Yunyan also turned his head and looked at him without blinking.
"Who are you looking at, so obsessed?"
Just as he was waiting for Bai Tao to speak, there was a low snort of displeasure in his ears.
Turning his head suddenly, Song Yunyan stared at Jiang Rongqing in disbelief.
"When is it! Do you still have the leisure to eat this dry vinegar?"
She frowned, and asked angrily and amusefully.
One hand was tightly clenched, and the man's domineering words actually had a bit of coquettishness, "No matter when, you can only look at me, understand?"
"Neurotic!"
glanced at him speechlessly, and when Song Yunyan's attention returned to Bai Tao, he had already begun to open the file and hold it up in front of the camera.
"It was disclosed on the Internet that my original script "Beichuan Xing" plagiarized the novel "Woman". And this document is the contract I signed with the publishing house to publish "The Woman". ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the eyes of the reporters widened.
Through the camera, they carefully recorded the contents of the contract.
Bai Tao, whose pen name fell yesterday, is the author of "Woman".
"Beichuan Xing" and "Woman" are both his works, of course, there is no plagiarism.
Needless to say, this contract is enough to dispel all rumors.
"Jiang Rongqing, you already knew, right?"
After reading the contract, Song Yunyan almost burst into tears.
She angrily squeezed the man's hard hand and complained about it.
No wonder he hasn't been in a hurry, it turns out that he has already had a backhand!
"Well, of course I do. ”
Jiang Rongqing smiled lightly.
Not only did he know, but when the film was first prepared, it was he who told Bai Tao not to change the script from his original novel "The Woman" publicly.
In order to leave a bait, waiting for the person who is planning to deal with him to take the bait automatically.
And now, it's time to really close the line.
"How-how can this be?!"
The first fish that was caught, Zhao Shicheng's face changed greatly, and he reached out to grab the contract in Bai Tao's hand.
Song Yunyan was "kind", took the contract from Bai Tao, and handed it to him with a smile.
After reading the contract in a trembling manner, he knew that it was not a fraud, and his face immediately turned pale.
"Mr. Zhao, 500 million liquidated damages, please prepare as soon as possible. ”
In the uproar, Jiang Rongqing left a sentence lightly, took Song Yunyan's hand, and Shi Shiran walked off the podium.
Just as they were about to leave the press conference hall, someone suddenly shouted behind them: "Slow!"
