Entering August, Justins, who wrote poetry, did indeed plummet at the box office the following week after Jenny Jackson and 2PAC's appeal in the fans and black community ran out, and the total box office is expected to fall around 25 million dollars. The production cost of this film is 14 million, but the publicity cost is much higher than that of a film with the same investment, so it will almost lose a little.

"Thanks, Hayden, Hamlin."

Coming out of the federal government office building, Song Ya and Hayden and Hamlin quickly got into the car, and Mila's father's case was very concerned, and he appeared here and must not be discovered by reporters.

"Is there anything else she's looking for you to help with?" Hayden asked.

"No, just a gift."

Mira called and begged for help in proving the gifts she had given her, and she had come to the federal building for that purpose. If it weren't for the desperation, Song Ya knew that she would definitely not take the initiative to speak, and he asked Hayden to find the shopping ticket at that time, and with the help of Hamlin, he provided it to the relevant agencies, signed a few words on the document and testified in person to end the matter. The total value of those jewelry, music boxes and other gifts is also about 200,000 dollars, and if they are returned, they should be able to help her.

"Don't get involved too much, it's not good for you."

Hayden warned, "Her father will be sentenced to at least twenty years." ”

"He deserves it, he defrauded others of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this level of fraud is rare in the world." Song Ya didn't sympathize with that Mr. Jovovich at all, and it was too bad.

"In fact, early investors in Ponzi schemes can also get a good return on their investment."

Hamlin laughed, "If only they could stop before the scam is exposed." ”

"Don't underestimate the greed of the human heart." Hayden replied, easy to say, such a high return on investment, why don't you pick up the money quickly? How can it be stopped, many of the investors are elites in various industries, and they are very conceited about their own vision, and they are still deceived.

"Yes."

Hamlin smiled and uncovered the matter, "APLUS, DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT TO SAY IN COURT LATER?" ”

"Don't worry, when did I make a mistake." Song Ya replied confidently.

Next, he appeared in court again in the fluorescent agent case, and after launching a rebellion with Mariah Carey, Motura immediately regarded this case as the first target, and he secretly funded the plaintiff's lawyer with a sum of money and related support, so that the other party rejected the settlement amount of about 1.2 million dollars, and continued the lawsuit.

So this time, in the list of witnesses provided by the plaintiff, an employee of Sony Columbia Records appeared, and he will testify that during the filming of the Where Is The Love MV, Song Ya once said something like 'everyone work hard for a while, advertise my fluorescent agent'.

Unfortunately, the situation is completely different now.

Song Ya also had a witness on his side, who was a camera assistant who participated in the filming at the time, one of Larry Sr.'s students.

"Did APLUS say something like 'this is a product placement for my product' when shooting a fluorescent party clip during the MV shooting?"

Sitting on the witness stand was a student of Larry Sr., and the plaintiff's lawyer was asking him questions.

"Nope." The other party's concise answer.

"No?" The plaintiff's lawyer looked at the audience and smiled, "You can take an oath before testifying, do you know the seriousness of perjury?" ”

"I'm against it! Your Excellency, the plaintiff's lawyer is ......"

"The opposition is valid." The judge responded.

"Well, I'm asking you, did APLUS mention that the fluorescent agent used to shoot the clip was a Barn company product that he owned, or something like that." The plaintiff's lawyer changed the question, "Did he add that clip temporarily?" ”

"It's a temporary addition......," he said, glancing at Song Ya, "but he only said that the party clip in the music video was to show his indulgent life after becoming famous." ”

"So he's using that to advertise his fluorescent products?"

"I'm against it!"

"The opposition is valid." The judge warned: "Plaintiffs' lawyers should not blindly interpret witness statements. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I'll do it another way." The plaintiff's lawyer asked, "Is it true that APLUS temporarily added that paragraph, and then the fluorescent agent product was provided by him?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't understand."

"What is the only choice of fluorescent agent products, you say you don't understand?"

"Since there's only one product to choose from, what else is there to know?" Larry Sr.'s student asked rhetorically.

Hamlin coughed at the right time, letting out the kind of laughter that had been endured.

"Silence." The judge immediately warned.

"You're a student of Larry Jordan, aren't you?" The plaintiff's lawyer was furious.

"Yes."

"Larry Jordon is working on a film project that APLUS has invested in, right?"

"As I understand it, it is."

"Has your current testimony been influenced by your teacher? After all, he has an interest in APLUS......"

"I'm against it! The issue of the plaintiff's lawyer has nothing to do with the case, and the witness has been recognized by the court and has no interest in my client. Hamlin again spoke out against it.

"The opposition is valid."

"I WILL NOT COMMIT PERJURY ON THE BASIS OF THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP, AND I AM NOT CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN ANY PROJECT RELATED TO MR. APLUS." Old Larry's student answered anyway, and Hamlin quietly gave him a thumbs up.

"Okay, that's the end of my question. You'll regret it later. The plaintiff's lawyer smiled and sat back.

After Hamlin and his question-and-answer were over, the next witness was none other than an employee of Sony Columbia Records, a white man in his mid-thirties.

It was the plaintiff's lawyer's turn to ask, "Do you know the last witness?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"Where did you meet?"

"During the filming of the MV for the song Where Is The Love for the defendant, Mr. APLUS." He replied.

"Did you hear the testimony he just made?"

"Yes, I heard you."

"You were there, weren't you? During the filming of a fluorescent party clip. ”

"Yes, I was there too."

"Present the whole time?"

"Yes, I was there the whole time, and I was the assistant producer on the Sony Columbia Records crew, overseeing the use of production expenses."

"I'll repeat what he just said...... "The plaintiff's lawyer turned back to Song Ya, "Now you tell me the true content of what APLUS said at that time." ”

"Uh......"

The man glanced at Song Ya, "APLUS's remarks at that time are basically the same as what the previous witness stated. ”

The plaintiffs in the audience were in an uproar.

"Uh, wait......" The plaintiff's lawyer immediately panicked, he looked at the document in his hand, "This is completely different from your previous written testimony!" You said you clearly remember that APLUS said loudly when he asked the crew to work overtime, 'Everyone work hard a little longer, advertise my fluorescent agent products'! ”

"I DIDN'T ACTUALLY HEAR IT CLEARLY AT THE TIME, BUT I RETOLD IT FROM VAGUE MEMORY, AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, IT MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM MR. APLUS'S ORIGINAL INTENTION."

"I warn you, this is perjury! It's a deception of the court! The plaintiff's lawyer rushed up to him and looked him in the eye, "Do you know the consequences of that!?" ”

"I'm against it! The plaintiff's lawyer is threatening witnesses. Hamlin continued to object.

The old man thought for two seconds and asked the witness himself, "Are you sure you want to overturn your previous written testimony?" ”

"Yes, I wasn't in good health at the time, I don't remember it very clearly."

The other party dodged the judge's fierce gaze and whispered.

"He's lying! Your honor! He must have been threatened or bribed by the top management of Sony Columbia Records! They just had a change of president! The plaintiff's lawyer protested angrily.

The judge struck the hammer, "Since the testimony of the witnesses in court does not match the previous testimony, I declare that the case will be postponed until the validity of the testimony of the witnesses in court is confirmed, and the lawyers of both sides." He greeted him and left his seat.

The audience immediately burst into an uproar, "Do you want to drag it on?" ”

"I'm here on leave!"

"How many months will it take for the next court session?"

The plaintiffs and their families complained.

The plaintiff's lawyer ignored them and chased after the judge.

Hamlin smiled and winked at Song Ya, and left the table to follow.

Half an hour later, Song Ya, Hamlin, and Hayden found a corner of the courthouse to chat, and the plaintiff's lawyer had already collected his mood and walked over proudly, "Count you well, okay, it's 1.2 million." ”

The three of them sneered at the same time, "It's 200,000 now." Hamlin replied.

"A million."

"Two hundred thousand."

"Don't do that, Hamlin, you think we don't dare to drag it on." The other party sneered and looked at Song Ya, "We will find new evidence APLUS." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just here to have fun." Song Ya shrugged her shoulders and responded with a stunned state of the original male protagonist of my life.

“Fxxk！” The other party scolded, "800,000." ”

"200,000, come on, you guys play, wait until the next trial, there won't even be this offer." Hamlin replied.

"Forget it, 500,000, this is my bottom line."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, which is also my bottom line." Hamlin raised the price slightly.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand."

"Stop playing that childish bargaining game." Hamlin held out his hand.

The other party shook hands with him helplessly, and then walked away quickly in a huff.
