Chapter 127: The Lawsuit of the Century (4)

"He even applied to open it to the public!" On the jury, Bell's eyes were straight.

"How could he do this! is not open to the public, even if he loses with Warner in the future, he can slowly calm down the turmoil, and maybe there will be a comeback one day. But once I got into contact with TV......"

If you lose, you won't even have a chance!

"Are he sure he can win?" Sharon. Stone's gaze turned cold, "Where did he get so much confidence?" What a disgusting thing for me! ”

Spielberg glanced at Nolan quietly, "It seems that Mr. Lin is very confident." ”

Nolan bit his lip, his heart extremely complicated.

He was full of remorse.

Once upon a time, he happily said to Lin Xiao that Warner was making Batman 2, but who knows, it was a big trap in the end!

And he already understood that Warner was playing with him, using him as a pawn, and kept saying to Lin Xiao with his mouth, "You're going to shoot Batman 2", "It's about to start", "It's about to start", "It's about to start." ”

Step by step, to this point!

It's all his fault! It's all his carelessness!

He remembered the filming of the cliff on the snowy mountain, the carjacking case, the breathtaking knife competition between Lin Xiao and Watanabe Ken for the first time, and the dream story that Lin Xiao discussed with him that only had a rudiment.

"I'm sorry for him......" he thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

"If the two parties do not agree on the same opinions, they will not be disclosed to the public for the time being, unless testimony or evidence that is necessary for public disclosure is presented." Like an iron plate, Sotomayor said without the slightest emotion, "Now, I invite the plaintiff and his attorney ad litem to speak." ”

"Excellencies." Robert stood up politely, bowed around, and clasped his right hand on his chest, "The plaintiff has fully entrusted me, as a representative of Warner Bros., to make this round of speeches. ”

Warners will never be open to the public, and they operate too many shady things for the sake of the dawn.

"Before I do that, I would like to ask Mr. Lin a question." He stood up and walked to Lin Xiao's side with a smile, "Mr. Lin, what is the first artistic virtue of an artist?" ”

"Dedicated." Lin Xiao said without hesitation.

"That's a very good answer." Robert's slender fingers tapped on the table in front of Lin Xiao, and he walked leisurely to the center and entered everyone's eyes.

His short bearded lips curled, and he said gracefully to the jury, "Yes, the jury invited you, because you know better what it means. ”

"It means that any contract is carried out in accordance with the contract, and there is no reason not to abide by the contract." He turned around abruptly and looked at Lin Xiao like a leopard, "So, Mr. Lin, why didn't you execute it after you signed the contract!" ”

"Against!" Carlo stood up with a calm face, "Guide others." ”

"The opposition is valid." Sotomayor struck the gavel.

"Oh, Your Honor, I wonder why this is called leading others. I just stated the facts, Mr. Lin's signing and not executing it is a manifestation of disdedication! ”

"Against!" Carol said loudly, "Your Excellency, what kind of contract did you sign?" Is there a contract for Batman 2? Is there a verbal or written agreement regarding Batman 2? ”

"Against!" Robert mentioned the collar of the suit, "As we all know, the information we sent to the judge is very clear that in order to prevent artists from asking for sky-high prices, Hollywood has the famous 'selection contract,' since Mr. Lin signed this contract, then he must play Batman 2 when Warner needs it!" ”

"Against! There was no clear date for the selection of the contract, and Mr. Lin should have been notified months before the filming of the movie, Mr. Lin was not notified, and even if he did, Warner's Batman 1 labor and management had not been liquidated, and he had the right not to take over the filming of Batman 2! ”

"Against! All of you here are people in the industry, and you should know very well that the return of funds for a movie calculates the net profit, which is half a year later, not a matter of a few months, if this is not an excuse, what is an excuse? ! ”

Everyone was silent.

The smell of gunpowder is too much, these two are old rivals, and the-for-tat confrontation that came up all revolves around the most important question, has Lin Xiao received the contract, and has the labor and management of Batman 1 been paid off?

"Boom!" Sotomayor's gavel sounded "Mr. Lin's defender, opposition is valid." ”

"Mr. Robert, any questions?"

"Nope." Robert sat back.

"Defendants and agents ad litem are invited to speak."

Lin Xiao stood up, his eyes swept over the jury, and his heart skipped a beat.

That's the status that any film and television person in the world dreams of attaining!

He quickly withdrew his gaze, cleared his throat and said, "First of all, I want to state the fact that I have never received any official notice from Warners!" In addition, I want to emphatically say, did Warner really pay off the labor? ”

"My contract with Warner, the salary is only one million dollars, and the first 500,000 yuan was paid before the film. After 500,000, only 400,000 were paid. I would like to ask, there are still 100,000, where did they go? ”

"Small belly chicken intestines!" Sharon. Stone, the famous actress snorted coldly, "I know that Chinese are calculating!" ”

"This is something that everyone knows, and 100,000 yuan is converted into various taxes. This contract does not state at all that every company will avoid taxes in this way. Replenish him afterwards. Why did he cling to this kind of thing? "Michael. Bei frowned, and thought to himself, "Abandon the original to the end, could it be that he is tens of millions of dollars to buy fame?" That's not right...... IF HE IS TENS OF MILLIONS OF WASTERS, THEN THERE IS NO FAME TO BUY, AND HE WILL BE DIRECTLY GAMEOVER. ”

Although 100,000 is not much in their opinion, it is also money. Warner didn't give is not given, whether it was written or not.

Even Sotomayor was disgusted in his heart, not to prove that Warner did not sign a contract, but to say from these places that Warner did not pay him, even if he was justified, because 100,000 delayed the crew of 150 million, I am afraid that no one in Hollywood will dare to invite him!

Moreover, as soon as he says this, Warner will probably not call him, because the longer it drags on, the more they can directly get the source shares of Dawning.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, the idiot can see what Warnatou is, didn't he push himself into the fire pit?

Sotomayor looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously, and sure enough, Robert didn't come out to oppose it at all, and let him play.

“…… $100,000 is not much, but this time it's 100,000, next time I'm afraid it's 500,000, 1 million, Warner is in arrears for the first time, even if there is a contract, I don't think he can pay off the labor ......"

Scarlett raised both eyebrows.

What is this for? If it goes on like this, it will only become more and more unfavorable to itself, don't you see that the actors' union has not come forward now?

"Five hundred thousand? Million? Who does he think he is? Sharon Stone sneered: "Is it really a dream that Hollywood is a gold rush?" Bite off more than one can chew! ”

“…… Warner's rejection of foreign artists was evident that I didn't fit into the Hollywood system, and that the Screen Actors Guild was also complicit in Warner's cahoots, and that the Screen Actors Guild representatives should have negotiated this matter......"

"Against!" Wells finally couldn't sit still, discrimination, this is a huge hat, let alone Warner, even the president doesn't dare to touch it, no matter how much he discriminates against Lin Xiao in his heart, if he shows it, it is death, Lin Xiao quietly buttoned his hat, he had to take it off immediately.

Not to mention that the actors' union has already gained their benefits, and it must not be ripped off on the issue of the actors' union, the top management of the actors' union is not clear about this matter, they don't even know that Lin Xiao is affiliated with the foreign artists club, if it is torn apart, the actors' union will take action, and what will be provoked is the ensuing attack of the Radio and Television Artists Association and the Actors' Union Alliance.

So, once he ran into this, he had to stand up, "Mr. Lin, I must state that Warner does not discriminate against you in any way. Warner is just unhappy that you refused to shoot Batman 2. ”

"Against!" Carlo shouted, "What do you mean by refusing to shoot? Mr. Lin didn't receive the contract at all! What is a refusal to shoot?! ”

"The objection is invalid." Sotomayor looked at the information and rang the gavel, "The information indicates that there is a witness who can testify, and Mr. Lin has promised Warner to take over Batman 2, and there is evidence. ”

Carlo's tongue suddenly knotted, and he looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief, and Lin Xiao also looked at Sotomayor in shock!

Witness?! Evidence?! How is this possible?! When did he say yes?!

There are all the human and material evidence, where did Warner get it?!

In an instant, a huge sense of crisis hit his heart, and he was reborn, and for the first time, he felt this sense of crisis that made his skin chill.

He looked over, just in time, to meet Wells's cold gaze.

In the eyes of the other party, there is victory, mockery, and inevitability.

Because, they are Warners, and Lin Xiao, in their eyes, is far from the level of Nicolas Cage.

"Excuse me, do you want to declare a witness in court?" The black presiding judge asked Wells.

Wells sneered at Lin Xiao and said lightly, "No need, please read the information we sent in detail." ”

He wanted to completely defeat Lin Xiao's delusions, and then dragged Lin Xiao to death, and finally killed the enemy with one move!

"Okay." The black presiding judge was about to speak, when suddenly, the clock on the wall rang.

"Knock knock knock...... "Knock knock" twelve times in a row, and Sotomayor sounded the gavel to "retire from the courtroom." ”

Everyone left the courtroom quietly, and Carlo held Lin Xiao's hand, "Mr. Lin...... Warners is very well prepared, and we have to cut through the mess quickly. ”

"How so?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked.

"Their every move is calm, the witnesses are not announced, the evidence is not presented, not notarized, everything is explained, they are putting on a posture and staying up with us! I'm afraid that even if we show something, they will show a more complex set of evidence to apply for verification, so that all of a sudden, it will be months at once, and we can't wait! Carlo said solemnly, "I'm all too familiar with this kind of lawsuit." ”

"If that card is turned over, how long will it take?" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and asked, he was also anxious in his heart, it was the end of October! There are only three months left before Jobs' obituary is issued! This is the last chance to eat big!

Every penny counts! Three months later, Apple's stock crash is imminent, and no matter how much gold dollars are spilled, it will be difficult to curb this decline!

This is also his chance!

However, he doesn't have the confidence to win now, and everything depends on how determined Warner is!
