The courts in the Shanghai Concession were called Huiju Gongdang during the Republic of China.

In the public concession, in 1868, the Qing government and the British and American consuls in Shanghai negotiated the "Regulations for the Establishment of Officials in Pidgin" to set up a trial office in the concession to accept all cases in the concession except for nationals of countries enjoying consular jurisdiction as defendants.

According to the agreement between the Chinese and foreign parties, if the case involves a foreigner or a Chinese servant hired by a foreigner, the foreign consul shall participate in the trial or observe the trial; Cases involving purely Chinese are adjudicated by Chinese counsellors alone.

In the French Concession, in 1869, the French Concession Judicial Office was established, located in the French Consular Office on the road to the Mansion, Shanghai Road (or its representative) went to the Consular Office three times a week, and the French Consul and Juror in Shanghai.

According to the rules of the trial court, a lawyer is allowed to be hired in a civil case, and the amount of the subject matter of the case must be more than 1,000 yuan, and the lawyer must be a French lawyer who speaks French; Lawyers are not allowed to defend themselves in criminal cases, and they are not allowed to appeal after a verdict.

In 1911, when the Xinhai Revolution broke out, the French Consul General in Shanghai took the opportunity to take over the Imperial Court and appointed officials on his own.

Subsequently, the Judicial Office of the French Concession was changed to a subordinate body of the Police Department of the Public Board of Directors.

In 1922, the office was listed as a subsidiary of the Board of Directors, and its detention center was still under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai French Concession Patrol Office.

That is to say, in the past, Chinese and foreigners tried cases together, mainly Chinese, but now cases are heard by foreigners, and Chinese can only play an auxiliary role.

Lin Zixuan's star film company was set up in the French Concession, and if Shunichi Sakuragi wanted to sue, he could only go to the trial office in the French Concession.

There weren't many Japanese in the French Concession at all, and most of the Japanese lived in Hongkou District in the Public Concession, so the French didn't pay much attention to the Japanese.

In addition, Feng Jingyao obstructed and directly postponed the trial of this case for half a month, as for when the trial will start, it depends on the mood of the French, so "Huo Yuanjia, the Hero of Jinmen" will be screened as usual in the French Concession.

Lin Zixuan has put this matter aside for the time being, and let the Japanese continue to protest.

"Jinmen Hero Huo Yuanjia" fired the first shot for the star film company, at least among the Chinese, and after reaching a settlement with the Jingwu Sports Association, it was praised by all walks of life.

Lin Zixuan originally wanted to donate all the income from the movie to the Jingwu Sports Association to make this patriotic reputation a reality, but Chen Gongzhe refused.

Although Lin Zixuan is well-intentioned, in the eyes of the outside world, Jingwu Sports will be suspected of being domineering.

So, both sides took half of each side, and they were all happy.

Because of the popularity of "Huo Yuanjia", major film companies in Shanghai have started the idea of kung fu films, and they realize that this novel fight scene will become the mainstream of movies for a period of time in the future.

That's following the trend.

Once a theme becomes popular, many people will rush to shoot it, and the quality is uneven, and the audience will get tired of it, and then shoot the subject to death.

When following the trend becomes a fashion and habit, the road will become narrower and narrower.

This is a vicious circle, Lin Zixuan can't do anything, he is not the leader of the martial arts alliance, he raised his arms and called everyone to listen to him, in front of interests, it is useless to say anything.

Why do you have to stop others from making money when you make money?

cut off people's wealth, but they will be hated.

You shoot Huo Yuanjia, I can shoot Dong Haichuan, I can shoot Yang Luchan, you can shoot Huang Feihong......

In this era, there are countless martial arts masters, and there are too many themes to choose from, Lin Zixuan has undoubtedly opened a door for domestic movies.

Regarding the plans of other film companies, Lin Zixuan has heard a little.

After all, they are all competitors, and he also knows that those film companies are ready to poach people from star film companies.

They wanted to know how those hearty-looking fight scenes were filmed.

Among them, Zhang Shichuan has begun to contact the employees of Star Film Company, including director assistants like Li Pingqian.

That's business competition.

Lin Zixuan knows that the flow of talents in the film industry is inevitable, and under the heavy money, someone will inevitably leave, but Star Film Company is not the talent training base of other film companies, and if you want to leave, you must pay a sufficient price.

In this era, there was no confidentiality agreement, stipulating that you were not allowed to engage in related industries for five years after leaving the company, so high liquidated damages were the first killer feature.

Lin Zixuan only hopes that the people he focuses on cultivating can stick to it and create a strong film company with him.

When he was trying to avoid the company being poached, Ping Banya brought a person, this person is called Xiang Yiran.

Xiang Yiran wrote a martial arts novel and wanted to ask Lin Zixuan for correction.

Since "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular in Shanghai, Shanghai's literati began to imitate this new type of martial arts novels, and the habit of following the trend will appear in any industry and cannot be broken.

If you write the five uniques of the world, I will write the ten heroes of the world, you write the "Nine Yin True Scripture", I will write "Eight Yang Divine Skills", you put the background of the times in the Song Dynasty, and I will write the story of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, it's basically a routine, what a tragedy, the stupid boy meets the little beggar, and the martial arts masters are flying all over the sky.

The storylines are more bizarre than the other, but they lack the atmosphere and family and country feelings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and without humanistic care, they can't get rid of a small family spirit.

But because readers like to read it, such martial arts novels have a tendency to flood.

Lin Zixuan didn't understand why Ping Banya brought this person over, since the fact that he was the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was exposed, many people would send him the martial arts novels they wrote, hoping to get comments.

At this time, Lin Zixuan is a master of martial arts novels, and any two comments will double the value of a martial arts novel.

This bothered him, not to mention whether the writing was good or not, mainly because he didn't have so much time to read these novels and how to comment on them.

But since Ping Banya brought this person here, it means that this person should write well.

Lin Zixuan decided to just say a few perfunctory sentences, "Popular Fiction Weekly" also needs a large number of manuscripts to be published, and it is not easy to recruit an author.

So, he took the manuscript and looked at it, "The Legend of Jianghu".

He felt that the title of the book was somewhat familiar, and when he searched it in his mind, he was startled, isn't this a masterpiece of Pingjiang Buxiao?

This is the founder of modern martial arts novels, and "The Legend of Jianghu" is also considered to be the first authentic martial arts novel in China.

Of course, this is without Lin Zixuan's appearance, and with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in front at this moment, this "The Legend of Jianghu" can only be relegated to the back.

Lin Zixuan was quite pleased, this was a treasure.

With this person joining the "Popular Fiction Weekly", plus Zhang Jishui in Beiping, Vientiane Bookstore has occupied a strong position in martial arts novels and romance novels.
