Chapter 189: Backfired
He quickly came up with the answer: write.
Yes, what else can a person who writes for a living do but write? His mission is to write, to write without stopping, and his responsibility is to write.
But what to write?
There is no answer to this question yet.
He originally thought that he could embark on the road of screenwriter from now on, and it would be smooth sailing from then on, but ...... Things do not turn out the way you want.
My wife has more than two months to return to China, and I don't know what to write for the time being, so I just read a book. He took out the books he had bought in the bookcase, many of which he hadn't read carefully, so he took the opportunity to take a look at them.
However, his heart is not at peace. Now that he had a premonition that a storm was coming, how could he be at peace in his heart?
Sometimes, he feels fear, because he is not sure, so he is afraid. What awaits you?
After spending about two weeks in this inner restlessness, he received a registered letter that afternoon. When I opened it, it was a summons from a court, informing him that he would hold a trial at a court in SH on the 15th of next month. The reason for the trial was that SH Maidi Film and Television Group sued him for breach of contract.
This is the first time Zhang Jiaze has received a court summons. From the moment he received this summons, his heart became even more uneasy and fearful.
He never expected that this film and television company would come to the real world. He thought that if he ignored the IT man, this matter would be over, but he never expected that things would develop to this point.
What to do? He didn't dare to tell his friends the news, let alone his wife. What Zhang Jiaze doesn't understand is that the 200,000 yuan was obviously agreed by Lao Feng at the beginning, and he gave himself the deposit and salary, why is he asking him to refund it now? Now, he has submitted the revised script, which can be regarded as completing the agreement between him and Lao Feng, why do you want a refund? What is the reason for a refund?
When thinking like this, Zhang Jiaze had more confidence. He originally planned to hire a lawyer to defend himself, but later felt that this matter was too simple, and there was no need to spend thousands of dollars to hire a lawyer.
Before the trial, he consulted the relevant laws and regulations and prepared his defense. Zhang Jiaze originally wanted to tell his "secret friend" Hua Xingcan the news, but after thinking about it, forget it, first, he felt that he should not let his good friend share his worries and disturb the mood of others; Second, he didn't want to destroy his tall and glorious image in Hua Xingcan's mind.
Zhang Jiaze has never been in a lawsuit, whether it is a plaintiff or a defendant. On the day of the trial, although he thought he was fully prepared, he was still apprehensive. When he went through the security check, he took out his ID card, and after making a simple registration, he went straight to the venue of the trial: Courtroom No. 6.
The case, which was originally scheduled to start at 10 a.m., was delayed until 10:15 a.m. because the judge had other matters. In the plaintiff's seat, there sat the legal counsel invited by the film and television company. In the dock, Zhang Jiaze sat alone.
The judge let the plaintiff and the defendant exchange supporting materials and then announced the opening of the trial. The judge tosses the heads and tails of the coin and decides who will state the facts first, and finally it is Zhang Jiaze's turn to state the facts and reasons first.
Zhang Jiaze truthfully told the situation of the film and television company, and repeatedly stated: The revised draft has been sent, which means that he has completed the preliminary creation of the script, according to the company's leader Feng Dong's original promise, the 200,000 yuan that has been paid is only the cost of the first six episodes of the script, and there are still 24 episodes of the manuscript fee, which the film and television company did not pay. In the end, Zhang Jiaze asked the judge to order the film and television company to pay the remaining 24 episodes.
Zhang Jiaze only felt refreshed, effortless, and logical, and elaborated the cause and effect of the whole thing in detail.
After listening to the defendant's statement, the judge asked: What evidence does the defendant have?
Zhang Jiaze was stunned: Evidence? This...... What evidence do you want? At the beginning, Lao Feng personally came to the door and said that he had put 200,000 yuan into his card. He later went to check his card number, and sure enough, 200,000 yuan was credited, what evidence is needed for this? Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to call 200,000 to an irrelevant person?
