Chapter 89: See you in court
Leet arrived quickly with his lawyer, and after asking what happened, he asked Jude and Kate to go back to the car and wait first, and he stayed with the lawyer to be responsible for negotiating with the other party.
Raul had already realized that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the opportunity of Jude's lawyer to follow Armani's manager to review the surveillance video, and secretly took out his mobile phone to call Sharon Stone's agent and tell the other party what happened here.
Sharon Stone's agent scolded Raul on the phone, but in the end he had to rush over to deal with the matter himself.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Jude, who is sitting in the car at the moment and continues to look through the pile of newspapers he bought when he went out, and is even interested in discussing with Kate about tomorrow night's Oscar awards.
"Now I'm 100 percent sure that you won't miss the live TV show tomorrow night, because Denzel Washington is probably more concerned about the outcome of this Oscars than you do."
Kate didn't want to be kept in her head by the unpleasant events that happened just now, so she asked curiously, "Why?" ”
Jude pointed to the Oscar shortlist in the newspaper and said, "Just look at the shortlist for best actor this year." ”
Kate opened the newspaper and whispered out the names of the five finalists and the winning films:
"John Travolta's 'Pulp Fiction,' Nigel Howardhorne's 'Mad George,' Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump, Paul Newman's 'Wise as a Fool,' Morgan Freeman's 'The Shawshank Redemption,'...... Do these five people have anything to do with Denzel Washington? ”
"The crux of the matter is the last man, Morgan Freeman, who is a black man."
Jude reminded her a little, and Kate immediately figured out the whole thing.
The Oscars have been held for 67 years this year, but there has only been one black actor named Sidney Poitier, and Denzel Washington is the most promising actor in recent years to win this award again, so as long as a black actor is shortlisted for the Best Actor award, he will be nervous with him.
"But I feel that the chances of Morgan Freeman winning this year are the least, after all, with Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, there is little hope for the other finalists."
This is Kate's own analysis, and the mainstream media in Hollywood is basically the same opinion.
"Until the last minute, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents." Jude's answer was only a response to Denzel Washington's psychological reaction to the incident, and in fact he knew very well that there would be no surprises at this year's Oscars.
Just then, the door was suddenly opened.
Li Tee sat in the passenger seat, closed the door, turned his head to look at the two people in the back seat, and said: "Seeing that you are still interested in discussing the Oscars, I am suddenly relieved, it seems that the episode just now did not affect you much." ”
"It's not something to worry about." Jude replied nonchalantly
"That's because it's not you who got the coffee in the face." Litt said angrily.
"Do you wish that person was me?"
"You know I didn't mean that, but you're making us passive!"
"Enough! Don't argue with either of you! Kate interrupted the argument between the two men, angrily pushed the car door, and dropped a sentence before leaving: "When you guys come up with a result, please inform me!" ”
With a bang, the door slammed shut.
The atmosphere in the car became a little strange for a while, and Jude and Leet both chose to remain silent.
After calming down for about five or six minutes, it was Litte who spoke first.
"How long has it been since you've been with Kate like this since we've been together?"
"I don't think I'm responsible for all of this now, and I remember very clearly that I stressed when we first met that I wasn't interested in men!"
Although Jude's tone was still rigid, the words he said no longer had the meaning of targeting each other before, but were more like the state of bickering when the two first met.
Li Tet turned his head, and replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I also remember very clearly, I answered at that time, my orientation is normal!" ”
"Don't you think it's weird for two of us to sit in the car and discuss a topic like this?" Jude decisively ended the debate on the topic and asked Leeter to tell him directly about the outcome of the matter.
"The lawyer told me that if you don't spill that cup of coffee, we can sue the other party in this matter, and we can win the case 100 percent." Litt replied.
"It's all nonsense, if I win 100 percent, do I still need to go to court? Just ask the other party to apologize. Jude snorted coldly, as a way to show that he was not satisfied with the result.
Leet shrugged helplessly, "This is just a lawyer's statement, and it does not represent my opinion, just now Sharon Stone's agent also arrived at the scene, he fired the brainless assistant on the spot after seeing the surveillance, and at the same time he also found me, hoping to settle the matter privately." ”
"So you promised him?"
"Isn't your cup of coffee spilled in vain?" Leet glanced at Jude, "Besides, I don't want to be kicked away by you for making such a decision without permission." ”
Jude didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Have you got all the evidence in the surveillance?" ”
"Without proof, do you think Sharon Stone's agent would be so talkative? She is now one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood, and her agent is also one of the executives of William Morris, holding contracts with six or seven second-tier stars, which is not comparable to a small director and a small agent like you and me. ”
There was something sarcastic about Leeter's words, but they were automatically filtered out of Jude's ears.
"What kind of punishment will the court impose on me for splashing people with coffee?"
"You are usually ordered to apologize to the other party, or to work in the community for a few days to a week, and of course, if you are willing to pay more for the lawyer's fees, you may not have to bear any penalties in the end." Speaking of which, Li Te couldn't help but glance at Jude again, he had already roughly guessed Jude's intentions.
Sure enough, Jude followed and asked, "What if I sue the other party?" ”
Leeter shrugged his shoulders and replied regretfully: "As far as the evidence currently available to the lawyer is concerned, it is more difficult for this matter to involve Sharon Stone, at most, there will be some reaction in the media, and it will be difficult for the court to support it." Another thing you have to consider is the attitude of the new line company, unless there is something good for them to make a big fuss, or they will not support your approach. ”
"Isn't the new line company struggling with the pre-release publicity of "Two Big Smoking Guns"? You can suggest that they make a fuss about this matter and believe that the resistance from that side will disappear. Jude paused, "As for the woman named Laura, let the lawyer take her directly to court, it doesn't matter if you can involve Sharon Stone or not, but you must bite her identity as Sharon Stone's assistant, and definitely do not accept reconciliation, the bigger the trouble, the better!" ”
