Reborn to Dominate Hollywood
Chapter 56
"All the superhero characters we've created so far still haven't left my mind. If you're going to ruin a character or movie in the future, I swear to God," the guy sighed sadly. You can see how much he cares about the movies and characters they produce. In fact, his love for superheroes has been increasing. "The potential is still so high, man," he said, shaking his head, avoiding Ian's gaze.
Ian wanted to meet the man who, during a meeting with the CEO, tried to oppose the sale of rights to Ian. That's why they were in Ian's office the same night.
"What if I said you could work with us on an upcoming superhero movie?" Ian asked, turning his head.
"What?" He couldn't believe his ears.
"yes, you can join the company and be in charge of superhero movies. Truth be told, for people who have a great passion and dedication to this genre, it is also a loss not to participate. So, I'm making a deal with you, do you want to join? Or not join? Ian asked, trying to make himself understand.
"Did you sign the contract?" Martin asked rhetorically.
"Hmm... Not yet, my legal team is trying to find loopholes to see if the deal is real. However, I will do my best to make my ideas a reality. And you must have heard of me, my planned superhero movie can be like this, you say? "
Okay, I think we'll meet again in a while," he stood up and shook Ian's hand. After he went, Ian asked his assistant to make some necessary arrangements.

It's been a few days since Ian went on a talk show before Ian filed a lawsuit against Francis Marubi Boy, a black man, for various reasons. Defamation, accusations that he provided false information, and threats to his company's reputation were some of the reasons that prompted him to file a lawsuit against Francis Marubi Boy.
"Sir, this is a summons from the court to our office," Ian's assistant came in and said. Ian took it to Mason.
"Here, uncle, open it," Ian said, with his hands crossed over his chest.
Opening the small notification, Mason frowned and read some sentences.
"What is it?" Ian asked.
[Francis and William open the notice]
"For many reasons, including the fact that the case is already a household name, there will be a one-day trial, but it will be broadcast on television. Because this case is only because of your confession in the newspaper, and the other party has already said it. "They have the necessary evidence to prove their innocence, and the court believes that the trial will not last more than one day, but they say it will depend on that day. So, the trial will be televised," William said as he took the newspaper bypassing his desk.
"Fuck, that's not what we expected. Did you know that I might even go to jail for it? If I am proven guilty, it will ruin my life! Francis cried out in horror, knowing that the consequences would be terrible.
"Trust me, kid. It's not going to happen," William reassured him.
[Back to Ian and Mason]
"This whole thing is a huge advantage for us, Ian. The question is, if it doesn't happen that way. No actor company is willing to give to any actor, and fans may hate you and say bad things about your work and stuff, so no matter what may happen that day, we have to win and prove your innocence. With all the evidence, I believe it is possible. Otherwise, your entire career is at risk," Mason said, while explaining the depth that Ian already knows. They were all happy to know that things were finally going according to their plan.
"All stand up," the man announced, as everyone stood up as the judge entered.
"Good morning, Your Excellency," everyone sat in their chairs.
"Your Excellency, the first case on your list this morning is 221, may I ask the names of the prosecution and defense?"
After some formalities in court, Francis Boi was asked to represent himself in the stands and the charges were read to him and he was given an oath.
"You have been accused of defaming Mr. Ian Rayner, specifically Afternoon Time. Please tell us what happened on July 14, 2013 at the 'Poseidon' bar. "
So the trial began, it began to be shown on almost all television and media networks, where people could watch everything that happened live.
Francis quickly and accurately repeated what he had said in the newspaper, and his statement was accepted by the court.
Soon, Ian's lawyer was asked to cross-examine and present counter-evidence.
"Your Excellency, first of all, can I represent the CCTV footage of the night of July 14, 2013? It has been submitted as evidence as evidence 310 for the plaintiff. The lawyer said as he played the video on their screens.
After obtaining an arrest warrant from the court, Ian had the opportunity to inspect the club and search for footage. Fortunately, William was only given a copy, not the entire CCTV footage. Ian thought at first it must be fake, as it was impossible for someone to leave such important evidence at the club itself for Ian to take, but it looked like they hadn't even tried.
"Your Excellency, it's clear from the footage that the first punch was not Ian Renner, but Francis. In the newspaper, Francis had said, and I quoted, 'Ian Renner punched me and tried to kill me.' I was just serving in a nightclub that day, and like any waiter, this man with a group of girls came up to me and punched me in the face~' But in fact, it was clearly not Ian who started the fight, but Francis. "
I'm against it, Your Honor," the lawyer immediately stood up.
"The objection is invalid, please continue to provide evidence
," "Thank you, Your Excellency. Next, I want to call Diane Dela, Mr. Francis's ex-wife," Ian's lawyer, Jordan Wright, said as he invited her to the stage.
They first decided to present oral recorded evidence to the court, but later, Dianandra insisted on appearing in court because of some old arguments with Francis. If she thinks it's okay, Ian doesn't mean to object. Because proving his innocence is more important to him than anything else.
After taking an oath in front of a court judge and on a book, Jordan received permission to challenge the evidence.
"Please tell me your name, what do you have to do with this case?" Jordan asked.
"I'm Diandra Jones. Francis Boy's ex-wife. She said and took a breath.
"What do you have to do with this, Diandra?" Jordan questioned again.
"Francis fights for me!"
"I'm against it, Your Honor," the opposing lawyer stood up again.
"The objection is invalid, please continue." The male judge continued her story as he spoke.
"I'm cheating on him. When he came and went to that bar a lot, I slept with Ian. I was caught, and when Francis found out it was Ian, a rich kid who was just toying, he was furious. He continued, 'I beat that guy', and even though I cried and said no, he was gone. The clip shown, yes, Francis punched the first punch," she said, while tears rolled in her eyes as Francis, who sat across from her, glared at her.
"Thank you, Diane Dela, that you can go back. Your Honor, as she said, Francis hit Ian Renner because he found out that his wife had betrayed him and had an affair with Ian. Other than that, Ian doesn't have any reason. Fight back at that nightclub on July 14, 2013. Ian Renner has been accused of racism and will never want to do so for personal reasons. One of them was his mother, who was a black woman herself. Therefore, I rest my situation. Jordan said and sat down.
It was clear from everyone's face that Francis had taken them for fools throughout the newspaper scandal. In the end, the judge awarded the newspaper $5 million in damages and $2 million in punitive damages. Francis was sentenced to five years in prison.
As Ian expected, the reaction to the case was very clear. Social media hashtags and messages are all talking about how they doubt Ian's humanity and how they regret it. Ian Renner's PR department took the opportunity to ask permission to disseminate some information about how his next film will be related to racism.
