Hollywood Director 1992

Due to the emergence of new evidence during the trial, the court announced an adjournment.

After the end of the second trial, the defense lawyer and the involved party, Tina Warsterton, in front of dozens of reporters, claimed that a large part of "Paranormal Activity" borrowed from her story, and even many plots highly overlapped with the videotape she shot.

She had sufficient reason to suspect that Link had watched her videotape before filming "Paranormal Activity," and also borrowed her filming methods, which was a kind of theft.

Therefore, she also had reason to demand that Guess Who Productions compensate her with $100 million.

This case was exposed yesterday and made headlines in dozens of newspapers today. News channels such as ABC, CBS, and CNN are also playing it on a loop.

"Hahaha, so it turns out that 'Paranormal Activity' borrowed someone else's story. Before, I was very puzzled as to how Link, a person from the slums, could write such a good story. So it was plagiarized. Let's see what Link will do this time."

Robert Downey Jr. laughed after reading the news.

"It's indeed good news. After 'Paranormal Activity' became a big hit, the box office of our 'A Few Good Men' was also greatly affected. Now that this kind of news has been exposed, the box office of 'Paranormal Activity' will inevitably be greatly affected, and may even be required to end its screenings.

The box office of 'Paranormal Activity' will also remain at 150 million. This is really great news."

Kiefer Sutherland clapped his hands excitedly and laughed.

"Haha, more than that, don't forget that woman is demanding Link pay her $100 million. If the situation is true, Link has a high probability of going bankrupt this time."

Robert Downey Jr. picked up a glass of wine and raised a toast with Kiefer Sutherland.

Kiefer Sutherland took a sip of wine and saw that Jimmy Cheri was still frowning.

"Jimmy, is there a problem?"

"This matter is not that simple. There are too many loopholes in Tina Warsterton's accusations."

Jimmy Cheri said, looking at the newspaper.

"Loopholes?"

"Yes, for example, here, 'Paranormal Activity' started filming at the end of April, and this case happened in mid-May. The time of the murder was more than half a month later than 'Paranormal Activity';

Also, Tina Warsterton only filed the charges five weeks after the release of 'Paranormal Activity,' which seems more like using this method to escape legal punishment.

From the perspective of the case itself, the court cannot possibly accept the claims of 'sleepwalking murder' or 'murder controlled by evil spirits.' If this is acknowledged, many past cases would be overturned, and many people in the future could use this excuse to escape punishment.

America may fall into chaos.

Therefore, even though many media outlets are questioning 'Paranormal Activity' for infringement, it will not affect the film's box office, let alone make Link lose money."

Jimmy Cheri said.

"So, this case won't affect the box office of 'Paranormal Activity' at all, nor can it bring bad luck to Link?"

Robert Downey Jr. held the wine glass, his face turning very ugly.

Jimmy Cheri frowned and read the news again.

"From the current situation, this case will not only not affect the box office of 'Paranormal Activity,' but may also help 'Paranormal Activity' sell well and make Link a lot of money."

"What do you mean?"

Robert Downey Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland looked at him in confusion.

They wanted to see Link suffer, but they didn't get to see it, which was already very disappointing.

But now Jimmy Cheri says that this case will even help Link.

This made it difficult for them to understand.

"Judging from these reports, this matter seems to be deliberately hyped up, trying to link 'Paranormal Activity' with the murder case, increase the movie's popularity, and make the movie's plot more real and more terrifying, attracting more viewers to go to the cinema to watch the movie."

"Hype?"

Robert Downey Jr. was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be Guess Who Productions? They want to use this method to increase the exposure of 'Paranormal Activity'?"

Jimmy Cheri nodded and said, "You've seen 'Paranormal Activity.' After hearing about this case, you will also suspect that 'Paranormal Activity' is related to the murder case.

And those who haven't seen the movie will have a stronger curiosity after seeing this news and will can't help but run to the cinema to watch the movie to see what the difference is between 'Paranormal Activity' and that murder case? Is it really plagiarism?

If they really do this, it is foreseeable that the box office data of 'Paranormal Activity' this week is likely to be even better."

Jimmy Cheri secretly praised, Guess Who Productions is too good at marketing, using ordinary people's curiosity to pull people into the cinema to watch movies, and the box office performance of "Paranormal Activity" will also soar.

He now suddenly admires his opponent, Link.

This person is much smarter than Robert Downey Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland.

"So, the big news that broke out today is Link's doing? He wants to use this method to trick the audience into watching 'Paranormal Activity'?"

Robert Downey Jr. asked in disbelief.

"It's possible."

"Damn it! The North American box office of his movie has exceeded $150 million, among the top ten in the annual box office. Is he still not satisfied and wants to get more box office revenue?"

Robert Downey Jr. shouted angrily.

"I'm afraid that's the case."

"Damn it! Damn it! This is false advertising and malicious marketing. I'm going to expose him and tell everyone not to be fooled."

Robert Downey Jr. slapped the table and stood up.

"It's useless.

On the one hand, this news has extremely high reporting value, and the media will increase their efforts to report it, turning this news into a social hotspot.

Even if we stand up and speak out, it will not attract much attention. Even if it attracts attention, it will only help promote 'Paranormal Activity'.

On the other hand, after seeing the news, it's not just us few who can see that this is Guess Who Productions promoting the movie. Many people can see it, and many ordinary people can see it.

But what can be done after seeing it? The public's curiosity has already been aroused, like a raging fire. If we go to expose it and oppose it, it will only increase the movie's exposure.

Those whose curiosity has been aroused will still go to the cinema to buy tickets to watch 'Paranormal Activity' to satisfy their strong curiosity."

Jimmy Cheri said slowly.

"According to what you said, 'Paranormal Activity' will still be a big hit this week?"

"Very likely!"

"Damn it! Damn it! This rotten movie has already sold more than 100 million tickets. Is he still not satisfied and wants to sell 200 million or 300 million? Link, this bastard, is too greedy."

Robert Downey Jr. waved his fist and slammed it angrily on the table.

Kiefer Sutherland also clenched his teeth tightly.

According to the "Commercial Daily" report, if the North American box office of this movie exceeds 200 million, Link can earn more than 100 million US dollars from the box office split of this movie.

A $20,000 investment earns back $100 million, becoming a billionaire, a 20-year-old billionaire, and so handsome and talented.

It's really hateful.

Kiefer Sutherland looked at Link's photo in the newspaper, gnashing his teeth with jealousy.
