484, no impossible
"So, you received a lawyer's letter the day after you started the film?" Shen Qiushan looked at Smit and asked with a frown.
"Yes, BOSS, it's just that I haven't been home these days, and I didn't know there would be this lawyer's letter. Smit said with annoyance.
"So, is there any basis for the ruling made by the actors' union?" Shen Qiushan rubbed his eyebrows and asked helplessly.
Shen Qiushan really found that when filming in the United States, the most indispensable thing for the crew is not him as a director, but as a lawyer.
The layout started on the second day of filming, which was obviously for this drama, although he didn't know who did it, but he already had a guess in his heart.
"According to the rules of the Screen Actors Guild, it shouldn't be okay, but you know, everything has a loophole, and the Screen Actors Guild will have a lot of excuses for that, and these guys are always like that. The roots of Smit's teeth itched, but there was no way, he could only look at Shen Qiushan expectantly.
The normal result is that Shen Qiushan temporarily changed his role and replaced him with an actor with an actor's license, so that although it will be delayed for a while, at least there will be no excuse in the future.
But for Smit, if he loses this job, his life will be very difficult, and even Michelle may not be able to go to school, and he will not even have Michelle lunch money.
"Perhaps, we can't let the actors' union succeed, after all, the United States still puts the rule of law first. Shen Qiushan quickly made a decision.
"Oh no, boss, that's not a good idea, those lawyers are vampires, and this lawsuit is impossible to win, it will only make you more troublesome. Smit hurriedly stopped.
For an American, he knew very well that this was definitely not the way to deal with things.
"yes? I don't seem to be a trouble-prone person at all. Shen Qiushan smiled mysteriously.
Because of the situation, Shen Qiushan did plan to discuss the announcement after the filming of the whole film was completed.
Columbia has indeed cooperated with Shen Qiushan a few times, but also because of the transfer of staff of Columbia, the new president of Columbia Huaxia is very strong, and Shen Qiushan has also heard some rumors that Columbia has been controlled by the island country, for Shen Qiushan, who was resentful in his previous life, he already has some disgust in his heart to cooperate with Columbia.
What's more, Shen Qiushan has made up his mind to set up his own branch in the United States, and long-term cooperation with a company, which may bring stability, but damage interests, if it is through competition, he believes that he will stand more stable and make higher profits, and at the same time, it will also make several major entertainment companies in the United States pay attention to Shen's Entertainment.
……
Saint-Sig Bar Service.
Shen Qiushan stood in front of the thirty-six-story building and nodded with satisfaction.
No matter what the other party's profession is, it is this grand law firm that occupies twelve floors, and this is high enough, which makes Shen Qiushan like it very much.
As the founder of St. Seeger's Law Firm, St. Seeger sat leisurely in the boss's chair, sipping imported coffee, squinting his eyes and smiling at the financial reports.
As the founder of the largest lawyer's office in the city, St. Sigurt rose from a slum boy to become a darling of high society, which was due to his own hard work, but also inseparable from his brilliant mind.
More than 300 lawsuits and a 100% winning rate, which made him famous.
"Mr. Sige, your guest Shen is here, do you want to see you now?" the secretary's sweet voice sounded over the loudspeaker on his desk.
"Oh, my esteemed guest has arrived, of course please come in. Saint Sig didn't hesitate and said with a smile.
Thinking of this Oscar-winning director, Saint-Sig was not too excited, the same Oscar-winning director, and even some international actors, he has not represented them in lawsuits, and some of them have even become his friends.
Saint Sig found it interesting that Shen Qiushan was a person, knowing that it was a lawsuit that he would lose, but Shen Qiushan was still very stubborn about going on, which made him a little puzzled.
However, every celebrity represents a business opportunity, especially these celebrities, he has seen too many dirty things in private, and of course this has made him more money.
"Hi Mr. Seeger, although we are meeting for the first time, we have spoken on the phone a few times. Shen Qiushan entered the room and said with a smile.
"Yes, Shen, respected Oscar-winning director, I already feel honored to be able to get your consultation before,
"I'm flattered by your politeness. Shen Qiushan sat down on the sofa with his hand.
Saint Sig didn't sit high in his boss's chair either, he also sat next to Shen Qiushan.
"Shen, I have already said on the phone before, this lawsuit is impossible to win, there are too many loopholes in the statutes of the actors' union, and some of them do not even have the form of a contract, which makes it difficult for us to find usable evidence to prove our arguments, even if we all know how things are. Saint-Sig said bluntly.
"I know, and there are some things that I can't say on the phone, and I'm just here to ask how much time it will take for this lawsuit to be settled if I'm going to file a lawsuit. ”
"What do you mean by judgment, is it a complete defeat, or is it a settlement?" asked Saint-Sigurt cautiously.
"Lost the case. Shen Qiushan said without the slightest hesitation.
"This ...... If it drags on, it will take more than a year, but if you lose the case quickly, it will take half a month, after all, it will take at least three court sessions. "Saint Sig really doesn't understand what Shen Qiushan is going to do.
Maybe he really had to meet and say, otherwise on the phone, Saint Sig would definitely think that Shen Qiushan was playing with him.
"Mr. Seeger, how many lawyers in your law firm can accept my employment now?" Shen Qiushan suddenly changed the topic and asked.
"Uh......" Although Saint Sig is a lawyer and has a quick brain, he is also a little unable to accept Shen Qiushan's out-of-the-box question, and he pondered for a while, and then said, "About sixteen lawyers." ”
"What about trainee solicitors who can go to court?"
"Twenty-five, all of us who can have time now, and the rest of the lawyers' schedules have already been arranged. ”
"Forty-one people ......" Shen Qiushan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any connections with other law firms?"
"Shen, I want to know what you're going to do? Saint-Sig became serious.
"I need fifty, at least fifty lawyers, to form a team of lawyers. Shen Qiushan said directly.
"A team of fifty lawyers? Oh my God, what are you going to do? I said, this case can't be won, it's impossible. Saint Sig really wanted to open Shen Qiushan's mind and see what was going on inside? The lawyer's profession is not a fight, it is not enough to have a large number of people.
As everyone knows, those parliamentarians, when they really enter the court, it is already remarkable to have three or two lawyers, and more than ten lawyers defend them, which is a plot that only occurs in the middle of the year.
"I knew that I needed a team of more than 50 lawyers, and I could lose the case within half a month. Shen Qiushan shrugged.
"Oh my God, it's not April Fool's Day. Saint Sig felt that the smart brain he had always been proud of was a little insufficient, and he really didn't understand what Shen Qiushan was going to do.
