Chicago 1990

Chapter 472: Lawsuit settlement

Entering August, Justins, who wrote the poem, really ran out of appeal of Janet Jackson and 2pac in the fans and the black community. The box office fell sharply the following week, and the total box office is expected to fall at around $25 million. The production cost of this film is 14 million, but the promotion cost is much higher than that of the equivalent investment film, so it will almost lose a little bit.

"Thanks, Hayden, Hamlin."

Coming out of the federal government office building, Song Ya, Hayden, and Hamlin hurried into the car. The case of Mira’s father was of high interest. He appeared here and must not be discovered by reporters.

"Did she ask you to do anything else?" Hayden asked.

"No, just a gift."

Mira called and begged herself to help provide proof of the gifts she had previously given her. This time we came to the Federal Building together for this. If it weren’t desperate, Song Ya knew she would not take the initiative to speak with her arrogance. With a little effort, he asked Hayden to find the shopping ticket at the time and provide it to the relevant agency with the help of Hamlin. Sign a few words and testify in person to close the matter. The total value of gifts such as jewelry, music boxes, etc. is also worth two hundred thousand dollars. 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."

"It deserves it, he lied to others for hundreds of millions of dollars, and this level of fraud is also rare in the world." Song Ya had no sympathy for that Mr. Jovovich, and it was too bad.

"In fact, early investors in the Ponzi scheme can also get a huge return on investment."

Hamlin smiled: "If they can stop before the scam is broken."

"Don't underestimate the greed of the hearts of people." Hayden replied, it is easy to say, such a high return on investment, why don't you get rich? How can it be closed? Many of the investors are elites from various industries, who are very conceited with their own eyes. They are not still deceived.

"Yes."

Hamlin smiled and revealed the incident, "aplus, do you remember everything you should say in court?"

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

Next, he appeared in court again in the fluorescent agent case. After launching a rebellion with Mariah Carey, Motula immediately regarded this case as his first target. He secretly funded the plaintiff’s lawyer a sum of money and related matters. The support caused the other party to reject the settlement amount of about $1.2 million, and the lawsuit continued.

So this time, in the witness list provided by the plaintiff, an employee of Sony Columbia Records appeared. He will testify that during the shooting of whereisthelovemv, Song Ya once said in person, "Everyone has worked hard for a while, give me an advertisement for the fluorescent agent." Class words.

Unfortunately, the situation is completely different now.

There is also a witness on Song Ya, who was a photography assistant who participated in the shooting at the time, and one of the students of Larry.

"During the filming of the mv, did aplus ever say things like'this is the placement of my product' when shooting the fluorescent party footage?"

Sitting on the witness stand was old Larry’s student, and the plaintiff’s lawyer was asking him questions.

"No." The other party replied concisely.

"No?" The plaintiff's lawyer looked at the audience and smiled. "You can take an oath before you testify in court. Do you know the seriousness of perjury?"

"I object! Your Honor, the plaintiff's lawyer is..."

"The objection is valid." The judge responded.

"Well, let me ask you, did aplus mention that the fluorescent agent used in the filming of this clip was a product of Barn Co., or something similar." The plaintiff's lawyer changed the question, "The clip was temporarily added by him. right?"

"It was temporarily added..." The other party glanced at Song Ya, "but he only said that the party clip in the mv was to show his indulgent life after becoming famous."

"So he is using this reason to advertise his fluorescent products?"

"I object!"

"The objection is valid." The judge warned: "The plaintiff's lawyer should not blindly explain the witness's testimony."

"I'm sorry, your Honor, I'll change the way." The plaintiff's lawyer asked again: "aplus temporarily added that paragraph, and then he provided the fluorescent agent product, right?"

"Sorry, I don't understand."

"There is only one choice for fluorescent agent products, you said you don't understand?"

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

Hamlin coughed at the right time, giving out the kind of laughter that was endured.

"Quiet." The judge warned immediately.

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

"Yes."

"Larry Jordan is working on a film project invested by aplus, right?"

"As far as I know it is."

"Is your current testimony affected by your teacher? After all, he and aplus have interests..."

"I object! The plaintiff's lawyer's question has nothing to do with this case. The witness has been approved by this court and has no interest in my client." Hamlin again objected loudly.

"The opposition is valid."

"I will not give false testimony because of the teacher-student relationship, and I personally have not participated in the project related to Mr. Aplus." Old Larry's students still answered, and Hamlin quietly gave him a thumbs up.

"Well, my question is over. You will regret it later." The plaintiff's lawyer smiled and sat back.

After Hamlin and him cooperated with the question and answer, the next witness appeared in court. It was an employee of Sony Columbia Records, a white male about 30 years old.

It was again the plaintiff’s lawyer to ask, "Do you know the last witness?"

"understanding."

"Where did you meet?"

"During the shooting of the mv of the song whereisthelove for the defendant, that is, Mr. Aplus." He replied.

"Did you hear the testimony he just gave?"

"Yes, I heard it."

"You were there at the time, didn't you? During the filming of the fluorescent party clip."

"Yes, I was there."

"Are there all the time?"

"Yes, I was there throughout the whole process. I am the assistant producer of Sony Columbia Records stationed on the crew, supervising the use of production costs."

"I will repeat what he said just now..." The plaintiff's lawyer turned back to point to Song Ya, "Now you tell me the true content of aplus's remarks at that time."

"Uh……"

The man glanced at Song Ya, "Aplus' remarks at the time were basically the same as the previous witness's statement."

The plaintiffs in the audience were immediately upset.

"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 that you clearly remember that aplus said loudly when the crew worked overtime,'Everyone Please work hard for a while and make an advertisement for my fluorescent agent product'!"

"I actually didn't hear it clearly at the time. I retelled that paragraph based on vague memories. Now I think it might be different from Mr. Aplus's original intention."

"I remind you, this is perjury! It is to deceive the court!" The plaintiff's lawyer rushed up and looked into his eyes, "Do you know the consequences of doing this!?"

"I object! The plaintiff's lawyer is threatening the witness." Hamlin continued to object.

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

"Yes, I was not in good health at the time and I don't remember clearly."

The other party avoided the judge's sharp gaze and whispered.

"He's lying! Your Honor! He must have been threatened or bought by the senior management of Sony Columbia Records! They just changed the president!" The plaintiff’s lawyer protested angrily ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The judge knocked the hammer, "Because the witness was in court. The testimony was inconsistent with the previous testimony. I announced that the trial of this case will be postponed until the validity of the witness's testimony in court is confirmed, and the lawyers of both parties." He greeted and left.

The audience immediately became noisy, "Will you continue to drag?"

"I asked for leave!"

"A few months to wait for the next court hearing?"

The plaintiff and family members complained.

The plaintiff’s lawyer ignored them and ran after the judge.

Hamlin smiled and blinked at Song Ya, and left the seat to follow.

Half an hour later, Song Ya, Hamlin, and Hayden found a corner in the court to chat. The plaintiff’s lawyer had already settled up and walked over proudly, “If you’re good, well, it’s 1.2 million. "

The three sneered at the same time, "It's two hundred thousand now." Hamlin replied.

"one million."

"Two hundred thousand."

"Don't do this, Hamlin, you think we dare not continue to drag on." The other party sneered at Song Ya, "We will find new evidence aplus."

"I don't understand what you are talking about, I just came to have fun." Song Ya shrugged and responded with a dazed state of dancing out the original male protagonist of my life.

"Fxxk!" the other party cursed, "800,000."

"Two hundred thousand, come on, you guys have to play, until the next court, there won't even be this offer." Hamlin replied.

"Forget it, half a million, this is my bottom line."

"Two hundred fifty thousand is my bottom line." Hamlin raised the price slightly.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand."

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

The other party shook hands with him helplessly, and then walked away angrily.
