John continued: "Then because my youngest son wanted to see it, our family went to Pirates of the Caribbean. ”

"And what is your experience?" asked Goffman.

"The water rapids part of the new 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was canceled and we were sent to an indoor scene where we saw a show. John recounted.

"And what kind of performance is it?" asked Goffman, in hot pursuit.

"It's a battle show between two gangs of pirates, with some cabaret in between. John said with great interest, "In addition to the fight of the miscellaneous soldiers, the captains of the two sides also came out to fight at the end." ”

"The two of them jumped all the way from the stage to our boat to fight, wow, it's really exciting!" John's eyes sparkled, obviously remembering the scene of that day.

"Didn't you have this performance before?" Goffman asked, "curiously."

"Nope. John shook his head decisively, "The tour guide also said that this is a new link." ”

“OK。 Goffman nodded, then asked, "And is there anything else you need to tell us about this pirate show?"

"Really. John nodded, "At that time, when two pirate captains jumped on our ship to fight each other, I could still hear their lines because I was sitting outside. ”

"Oh, what do they call each other?" Goffman's seemingly nonchalant question made Okero's face change.

He immediately raised his hand, "Oppose!" the prosecution is guiding the witnesses. ”

Goffman also turned his head to look at the female judge, but the female judge shook her head this time and said, "The objection is invalid, and the prosecution lawyer continues to ask." ”

Obviously, the female judge also heard the catty inside.

So Goffman continued, "John, you can say it. ”

"Oh, oh. John reacted, and then said, "The old actor in the middle called the other young pirate 'Captain Jack'!"

"Oh——, Captain Jack. Goffman didn't know if he had been in Hollywood for a long time, and he was so shocked that he was bloody in the process of asking questions.

Even the female judge couldn't stand it, "Prosecution lawyer, you give me some attention." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Goffman immediately bowed his head and confessed that he would not dare to challenge the authority of the judge in the courtroom.

Then Goffman looked at John again, "So John, do you know the name of another pirate captain?"

"Yes, the young actor called him 'Captain Barbossa'. John's words immediately made Okro's face as gloomy as the waters of the deep sea.

"Brush!", Goffman took out Sid's "Pirates of the Caribbean" again, "Judge, everyone, in Mr. Leon's "Pirates of the Caribbean", the protagonist is Captain Jack, who was betrayed by his subordinates, and the villain is Captain Barbossa, who exiled him. ”

After saying this most important piece of evidence, Goffman confidently walked to the center of the courtroom, "Mr. Leon's book was published in May last year, and Disneyland, which has not had pirate fighting performances before, will ...... in the fall."

Goffman looked at the witness John, who immediately said, "October." ”

"October!" Goffman continued, "Disneyland is part of their water program, adding a show with 'Captain Jack' and 'Captain Barbossa' leading the show. Ladies and gentlemen, I think that the fact that the defence has infringed the copyright of my client, Mr. Leon, is beyond doubt!"

"Your Excellency, this is the end of my inquiry. With that, Goffman walked proudly to his seat.

Although Okrow later tried to confuse the witness John's speech with questions, he was scolded back by John, who seemed to be honest but was actually shrewd, and it did not have much effect.

Finally Okro stood up, "Your Excellency, I want to apply for an internal consultation. ”

Goffman looked at each other as the accompanying lawyers, and he couldn't help but nod. The so-called internal negotiation is a non-record conversation between the lawyers of the two parties and the judge, which is usually used only when one of the parties is ready to make concessions.

"So fast?" Goffman was a little surprised, but he was still very confident in his own side that was fully prepared.

So Goffman and Okro walked up to the top of the judge, "What do you want to say? The female judge asked.

"Your Excellency, I would like to request an adjournment of the trial. Okero's proposal was not unexpected.

"Mr. Okro, do you have any reason?" the female judge certainly could not let you postpone it as you said.

"Now that the state of affairs is fairly clear, I need to ask my client if there is a settlement. Okero's words made the female judge nod.

"Do you have any objections, lawyer?" the female judge turned to Goffman.

"No objection, Your Excellency. "The other party wants to reconcile, of course Goffman will not stop it, Hollywood lawsuits are generally like this, even if they go to court, they mostly end in reconciliation.

Michael Eisner feels like he's been a little bit bad lately.

As Disney's godfather-level helmsman, he has always been confident in his judgment.

Whether it was when he took over Disney, through a series of resolute measures, he developed a small Disney with a market value of only 2 billion yuan into a large media group with a market value of 40 billion yuan across film, television, music, games, hotels and amusement parks.

But now, he found that he seemed to be shabu-shabu.

And the person who shabu him is none other than Sid, who traded "Who Can Be a Millionaire" and him for the rights to the AMA National Music Festival and "Hot Mom and Girls" two years ago.

At that time, in 99, "Who Can Be a Millionaire" was born, which shocked the entire North American TV circle in one fell swoop.

Then, Michael Eisner exchanged a decent AMA and an old movie from decades ago for such a golden egg. Not only made him proud, but even Murdoch and Lei Shidong, who were traveling with him, couldn't help but envy his "shit luck".

But when the ABC network finally released their new version of "Who Can Be a Millionaire" last year, they suddenly found themselves facing a new show from Fire Lion TV - "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars".

These two novel competition reality shows have invariably become new topics in the United States, which makes ABC's grand launch of "Who Can Become a Millionaire" not optimistic in terms of topics or ratings.

And the person in charge of the ABC TV network, after seeing such a situation, in order to save the ratings, invested more resources in "Who Can Be a Millionaire" this year.
