Chapter 126: The Lawsuit of the Century (3)

October 25th.

The rainy Los Angeles High Court, today, the door is open.

Premiere, Week One, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The Voice of America...... and a series of media related to the film and television industry, all of which came to the door of this court.

They all carried light notes, cameras, small DVs, and everyone had serious faces, everyone knew that this lawsuit could be called the lawsuit of the century!

"Foreign artists sue Hollywood giants!" A reporter at the premiere whistled, "This is simply news worthy of two front-page headlines!" ”

"It's a pity that the damn court doesn't allow filming, only indirect photography and intermittent video." A VOA reporter flicked his messy blonde hair in chagrin and "SHIT! It's just a delicious meal, but you can't eat it! ”

"Hehe, be content. This lawsuit, at least two years, and at most I don't know how long it will take, who can finish filming? The person next to him smiled, "Lin's financial resources are only enough for less than two years." ”

"Yes, contentment, this is simply explosive news in the film and television industry! The lawyer's fee is tens of millions, and Lin Xiao is famous no matter whether he wins or loses. ”

"What's the use of being famous? Can he still get into Hollywood? Will all international awards buy him? ”

Just then, the courthouse staff walked out.

As soon as he appeared, everyone fell silent.

"Relevant personnel come in." It was a black man, stout, bald, with a pair of glasses that made him look a little more elegant, "I will retry the iron rules of the court again. ”

"One, it is strictly forbidden to take pictures with flash. Intensive photography is strictly prohibited. ”

"Second, continuous photography is strictly prohibited."

"Third, it is strictly forbidden to make loud noises and doubts."

"Fourth, it is strictly forbidden to report news that is not true."

"If you violate it, you will be expelled on the spot at the least, and you will be permanently blacklisted by the Los Angeles High Court."

Everyone nodded, these rules, they are already familiar with them.

The black man nodded, "Now, gentlemen, please enter in order." ”

The reporter didn't say much, and Yuguan entered.

Pushing open the brown-yellow wooden door that exudes the scent of pine, inside is a large indoor space that can accommodate more than 200 people.

The Star-Spangled Banner hung majestically in the center of the courtroom, and the others were the same as any court, except for the exceptions.

However, when they saw it clearly, they were dumbfounded.

In front of the auditorium, there is the jury.

However, these juries almost made all reporters blurt out exclaims!

A thin old man with a white beard and a work hat sat in the middle.

The hat on his head was a little shabby, but he was wearing a crisp black suit, a snow-white shirt, and leather shoes that could reflect the human face.

No one laughed at him, and no one dared to laugh at him, film and television people all over the United States and even the world knew each other!

Hollywood's legendary director - Steven. Spielberg!

"The legendary director is here!" A reporter almost jumped out of his tongue and looked at the jury seat in amazement: "Actually, I am still sitting on the jury seat!" ”

He reflexively wanted to pick up the camera to take pictures, but finally endured.

His gaze followed, but he almost jumped up in fright!

Next to Spielberg was Nolan, who was meticulous in blonde hair and had a clear face, and then there was the handsome Brad Pitt, followed by Tom Cruise......

Angelina. Julie, Scarlett. Johnson, Sharon. Stone, Dawn. Johnson, Mark. Wahlberg ......

All journalists, all gasped!

If this wasn't in court, if they didn't know that it was Lin Xiao and Warner's lawsuit that was going on today, they would really think that this was the scene of an awards ceremony.

There are several superstars, a lot of tens of millions of salaries, legendary directors, and upstart directors are all present, and the specifications are not high!

And these people, all sitting on the jury seat! Prepare to testify for the lawsuit of the century!

"This ...... Has Hollywood taken it seriously to this extent? A reporter trembled with excitement, he didn't expect that the jury this time would be such a lineup! This kind of director and artist combination is the best in the world!

It's like a super investment movie!

"Unbelievable...... It's unbelievable! There are so many top stars at one time! ”

"It's not hard to understand!" Another reporter forcibly suppressed his excitement and said, "The producer and the artist are the relationship between the employer and the employed, Lin is not an artist without a name, and he is named in the actors' union, if this happens, most of them will be emotionally on Lin's side." And let them be the jury, Warner and Lin are very relieved! ”

With shocked eyes, they entered their seats.

In front of them, Lin Xiao was already sitting in his seat, and behind him was his main defense lawyer, W&C's Caro.

On the other side, there is Wells, the director of Warner Bros. Production. Siscao. Behind him is Warner's lawyer, Robert Baker of Brown, the largest law firm in the United States. Cono.

In the courtroom, the atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the eyes of both sides collided like swords, making a "clanging" sound that could not be heard but could be felt, like substance.

"Boom!" The gavel in the judge's hand rang out, echoing in the dead silence of the courtroom, like the roar of justice.

"Hearings, Your Excellency of the Jury, Gentlemen, Miss." This white lady, who is in her fifties, with wavy black hair and a judge's hat, said solemnly, "Warner sued Mr. Lin for unilateral breach of contract, and Mr. Lin sued Warner for labor disputes, and the trial is now open." ”

"Because the two cases involve the same company, the same artist, and because of the same nature and the same incident, the two cases are tried in one case, two gentlemen, can you have any questions?"

Lin Xiao looked at Robert lightly, and happened to meet the other party's sword-filled gaze, and in an instant, it seemed that there was an electric sound in the air.

"Nope." The two men said almost at the same time.

"Good. I'm Judge Sotomayor. The lady introduced with a majestic face.

Lin Xiao's brows raised.

How big the case is this time, you can get a glimpse of it from the jury Hollywood superstars gathered and Spielberg was present in person, but he didn't expect that the Los Angeles High Court would attach so much importance to it! The future Supreme Court justices have been transferred!

"Shhhh......h

However, he failed, and Lin Xiao's face was equally serious, but he couldn't see nervousness and uneasiness.

"Worried?" An old but angry voice suddenly came from beside him, and he immediately replied, "Mr. Steven, it's a bit ...... indeed."

"How did you feel working with him in your last film?" Spielberg asked, without turning his head.

"Dedicated entertainers!" Nolan said without hesitation, "It can be said that without him, there would be no mentor!" ”

Spielberg nodded and sighed, "But, his move...... But you're ruining your future......"

"Mr. Steven......" next to Michael. Bey, the future director of Transformers, smiled and said, "If everyone thinks that he has ruined his future, why should he come to see it?" ”

"He dared to pull Warner to court, and he must have his own killer feature. Aren't we just waiting for him to flop? Warner is different, Warner has no cards to turn over, and the gold yuan is their hole card, and one by one, endlessly. After a year, Lin Xiao will definitely lose! ”

Their voices were very soft, but all three of them heard them.

Spielberg nodded lightly, "Yes, I'm very curious, what gave him this courage, knowing that Warner was throwing gold dollars, and still dared to rise to the challenge?" ”

"If there is no killer who kills the enemy in one hit, then he is a fool."

Everyone's eyes were glued to the courtroom, and the reporter's camera had begun to turn silently.

Tens of millions of dollars in legal fees, challenging one of the six big Hollywood lawsuits, is about to begin!

Sotomayor stood up, the prosecutor next to him stood at the same time, and the clerk on one side also stood up.

They held Bibles in their hands, raised their right hands, and said aloud, "God save America and the venerable court." ”

Three voices announced the official start of the trial.

"Artist Mr. Lin Xiao, do you swear that everything you say is the truth, in front of God."

Lin Xiao pressed the Bible in his hand, and at this moment, a kind of respect for justice also rose in his heart, even in a foreign country.

"I swear."

The presiding judge nodded, turning to face Robert, "Warner represents people, do you swear that everything you say is true, before God." ”

"I swear."

Robert held the Bible with the same reverence, closed his eyes and swore an oath.

The three presiding judges sat down, and the black presiding judge and Sotomayor exchanged glances and shouted, "Court!" ”

Sotomayor opened the file, now facing a jury.

“…… The 120 million movie at Warner, Batman. In the mystery of the Dark Knight, Warner accused Mr. Lin of unilaterally tearing up the contract and refusing to participate in the filming of Batman 2.The Dark Knight Rise, so Warner delayed Warner's financing of $150 million and applied for a claim of $500 million......"

“…… And Mr. Lin claimed that he had not received any form of notice from Warner, and that Warner and Mr. Lin had a labor dispute, and the remuneration for Batman had not been settled, so Batman 2 was a form of coercion, and it was suddenly notified at the time of the start of filming of the Han River monster, so he did not have any contractual relationship with Warner, and at the same time carried out labor recovery against Warner......"

Her voice resounded throughout the courthouse, and it was "narrating the incident," explaining the flow of the incident to the entire jury.

"The story is over." Her gaze swept across the room, and everyone was focused and serious.

"Now, do the two parties need to add rights?"

At this moment, a voice rang out in the audience.

"I apply, this case is open to the public!"

Lin Xiao's voice!

"Warner, refuse to be open to the public!"

At the beginning, Mars is everywhere!

And the jury, there was a lot of noise in an instant!
