Chapter 1254 I bought a watch last year

In a somewhat annoyed tone, Charlize told the truth of the matter, which made Andy cry and laugh at the same time, but also a little speechless, there is really nothing wrong with people suing her, if it were him, he would have sued...

It turned out that in 2005, Charlize had accepted the spokesperson of the Swiss watch brand for a high price of $3 million, and according to the contract, she must wear the brand's watches in all commercial occasions.

From October 2005 to December 2006, Theron was only allowed to wear high-end watches produced by RAYMOND WEIL. Raymond Weil could use Theron's photo to advertise, but his beautiful girl was wearing a CD-branded watch instead of a Raymond Weil brand in a photo taken on March 14, 2006. Theron was attending a film festival in Austin, USA.

The watch manufacturer sued Theron for "wearing a wrong watch" and claimed compensation against Theron.

"Hehe, you're really... Andy also shook his head helplessly, what can he say, it is clear that this is his own woman's problem, although she was not his own woman at that time.

"Tell me, how much did you charge? I don't believe you only violated this once, Oscars, Golden Globes and other award ceremonies, you won't wear this Raymond Weil honestly, right?" Andy is very aware of Hollywood's pay-to-wear rules.

"Damn, the agreement only forbade me to wear jewelry to any advertising events, film festivals, Oscars are not included at all, they are blackmailing, and I was not an American when I signed the contract, I don't understand why the US federal court would accept this lawsuit!"

Charlize said with some annoyance, but soon began to report all the paid clothes to Andy in 2006.

Attending the BAFTA Awards Gala in London, he was awarded $50,000 for wearing more than two pieces of Chopard's jewelry.

At the Oscars, he was also paid $200,000 for wearing Chopard's jewelry. In the fall of 2006, Montblanc agreed to pay $250,000 to a charity on the condition that Theron be a model for an advertising campaign for his silver necklace.

Theron also wore Cartier jewelry to the Golden Globe Gala, and although she didn't take a penny, Theron received a $35,000 Cartier ring, a $7,500 bracelet, and an $8,000 pair of earrings as a "little meaning" for her service to the company.

Andy pinched the sun with a little headache, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, these Hollywood stars really have the skills to make money, but these things belong to the unspoken rules of the industry, although everyone knows it, but no one explores it, after all, this is a matter of mutual benefit.

As for why this Raymond Weil watch dealer only made trouble after two years, Andy thought that first, Theron was still their spokesperson at that time, and he didn't want to stiffen the relationship, second, he used this to advertise, what could be more eye-catching than suing the current Charlize, and third, it was true that it was true to say no and what Theron said, he wanted to blackmail, after all, it was a period when the financial turmoil was raging, otherwise two years had passed, and what would he have done earlier.

Regardless of whether Charlize is at a loss or not, in this matter, Andy naturally wants to help his own woman, whether to help his relatives or not, besides, a lawsuit in the United States is not something you can win if you are really justified, to put it bluntly, it still depends on who can afford it and who has more money!

What's more, there are huge loopholes in the agreement signed at the beginning, which is why Charlize dares to pay to wear it at the Oscars and Golden Globes, she is not an idiot and legally blind, and she also has a private lawyer.

"Okay, don't be angry, it's a trivial matter, since the federal court accepts it, then it's just a watch company, drag it to death, not to mention that the agreement is still a little loose, and then you haven't joined the American nationality at that time, so let them go to South Africa to sue, I'll let the lawyer team go to the house for a while, and I will spend money to support them just to fight a lawsuit, hehe, then play with them!"

Charlize is not much surprised by Andy's attitude, she still knows a lot about the little man she chose, but whether she wins or loses, this matter is a very annoying thing for her.

As Andy becomes more and more successful, and after having little Laura, for the current Saihuang, it is also a career pursuit, and a stable and plain private life is what she wants most.

"By the way, how are things going at NBCUniversal?" Charlize didn't want to continue to dwell on the worries, now that Andy was ready to take over, she just had to sit and watch the situation settle, to be honest, having a strong man to help her hold up the sky was undoubtedly the easiest for her character with difficulty in choosing.

"Everything is going well, but things will not be too simple, General Electric has been trying to take advantage, I am waiting for the opportunity to prepare to teach them a lesson, for me to sell all the 3 billion ordinary shares in hand, their opinions are not small, hehe, after a while, they will know, it is just an appetizer. Andy said with a smile.

"Well, NBCUniversal, it's really exciting. Charlize is also irrepressibly excited about Andy's big merger and acquisition. "When are you coming back?"

Andy said apologetically: "I'm sorry dear, I'm going to Montana next, I'm going to work behind closed doors there, and see if I can finish one or two parts, after all, there are too many debts, "Suspect Tracking" hasn't been written yet, "Spy Shadow" has only written the first part, the follow-up to "House of Cards", and "Gossip Girl"... Oops, it gives me a headache just thinking about it. ”

"Don't worry, how can it be so easy to create this kind of thing, readers can understand, by the way, speaking of spies, I heard that Summit Entertainment has already started the filming plan?" Charlize asked.

"Well, filming will start within the year, next year your "Superman for All" will be released in the summer, followed by "Furious 4", and "Spy Shadows", next year will be a high-yield year for Summit Entertainment, all commercial blockbusters, I am ready to let Summit and the Big Six have a head-to-head competition. Andy said confidently.

"It's the Big Five, Giggles, complete the acquisition of NBCUniversal, and you're also a Hollywood predator. The emperor swept away the gloom, his mood improved, and he joked with a smile.

"Tsk, it's really possible to be cheaper than Universal, but it doesn't matter, the valuation of Summit Entertainment has been raised a lot in this negotiation, and it's not cheap Universal, by the way, at night, my mother wants to have a video connection with Little Laura, you prepare. Andy frowned slightly, and then relieved that even if the summit developed too fast, it couldn't be compared to Universal Pictures.

"Well, I know, okay, don't talk about it, I'm still on the crew, damn it, I was ruined when I received the call before, and it looks like I'm going to delay filming again today. The Emperor brought up the matter of the defendant again, and his tone became irritable again.

Andy could only be appeased, to be honest, the emperor's temper is sometimes really stinky, after hanging up the phone, Andy called the chief counsel of his legal team in Los Angeles, and after telling him about the emperor, he asked him to contact the emperor directly, this time it was Steve who was involved in the theft of the Theron villa.

After waiting for Auston to go home in the evening, Andy told the emperor about the matter, and Auston, as a barrister, was naturally the most vocal, and then after learning the specific details with Steve of the lawyer's team, he said to Andy.

"The best way to resolve the matter is to settle, of course, after the other side understands that they have little chance of winning and will even be dragged into the vortex of the lawsuit.

As for what you want them to go to South Africa to file a lawsuit, it is impossible, since the federal court has accepted it, it is to determine Charlize's identity as an American, don't think about it, especially the two facts of breach of contract chosen by the other party, which is very unfavorable to Charlize, and the other party is prepared.

It depends on whether the other party decides to go-for-tat, if the other party doesn't let go, then it may be necessary to return the 3 million endorsement fee in the end, but that is also a long time later, if the other party can persevere, take your time!"

Hearing Auston's judgment conclusion, Andy was a little disappointed, but there was no way, in the face of the strict justice of the United States, he could only choose to play the rules within the framework, he didn't have the ability, and he wasn't so stupid to obstruct justice, not only would it not succeed, but it would also cause trouble, everything that could be solved with money was not a thing, the key was not to let the other party succeed easily, whether it was spending money or spending time, since the other party had already made a move, then it would be up to who couldn't resist it first!
