World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Everyone, please be quiet and don't conflict with Joe. He is not in good health."

The two barristers were blocked by reporters, but they did not avoid it and agreed to be interviewed.

Just facing the crowded reporters, Roy Black stretched out his hand to make a quiet gesture. After all, the senior colleagues around him were really old. If he encountered something like this, it would be no small matter.

The reporters immediately calmed down and stopped rushing forward.

Joe Gammour, currently the richest lawyer in North America, is 87 years old. He is really old. If you don’t pay attention, even all the reporters will not be able to sell it.

"Everyone, let's go in. Thank you to the hotel for providing a conference room."

Joe Gamore was supported by the bodyguards. He smiled slightly and said something, then turned and walked slowly towards the hotel. Speaking of which, he was really old and couldn't walk fast.

Just now, he and Roy were blocked by reporters when they made an appointment to have lunch together.

"Good afternoon, Joe and Roy, two barristers. My first question is why you want to take over this commission?"

In the hotel conference room, after everyone had settled down, a white reporter stood up impatiently and asked.

"You are asking a question. What profession are we? Lawyers, so if someone entrusts us, why don't we accept it?"

Joe Gamore looked at Roy's gesture indicating that he should speak first, and he spoke without hesitation.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I may not have expressed it clearly. What I want to ask is that quarreling in the entertainment industry is a normal thing. It is not uncommon for such things to happen many times every month. Is such a small thing worth it?

When it comes to court, the prosecution stage?"

The reporter quickly waved his hand to indicate that he had not expressed clearly just now.

"Okay, I understand your question. According to common sense, this matter can be big or small."

Joe Gamore didn't care that a reporter asked two questions in a row and answered calmly:

"It's like your home being broken into by someone else."

"You can have a good talk with the person and ask them out, or you can take out the robbery and kill the person who broke into your house without saying a word."

"The choice depends on the attitude of the parties involved."

"Just because some people face such a situation and choose not to shoot does not mean that everyone should not shoot. Shooting to kill someone who breaks into one's home is within the scope of the protection of the law."

"So there is nothing to say about us accepting this commission."

"Our employer chose legal means to resolve this matter, just like facing a person who broke into his home and taking out a gun to kill the person who broke in illegally. This is in line with the requirements of the law."

After saying this, many reporters nodded unconsciously. This is very reasonable.

A black reporter stood up and glanced sideways at the white reporter. The bitch's question just now clearly contained ambiguity.

The black reporter who stood up had a bad impression of this kind of person who felt good about himself. Taking advantage of his height, he glared at the white reporter rudely, then looked at the two barristers on the main seat and asked:

"Qiao, you are a super rich lawyer among lawyers. Roy, you are the barrister with the highest fees now. I wonder if you two can tell me how much legal fees it cost you to entrust the Chinese director Qin this time?"

Qiao smiled and took a drink of water slowly. When Roy saw this, he knew that he had come forward. He looked at the reporter and shook his head:

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question at the moment. Before my employer's case is completed, this kind of matter involving my employer, without the employer's permission, Joe and I need to keep it secret for the time being. Thank you."

The black reporter didn't care. He would know about this kind of thing sooner or later, so he asked again:

"So, Attorney Roy, although we have seen the list accepted by the court, can you tell us what your employer's final appeal is?"

Roy smiled and nodded:

"This question can be answered."

"Given that the three Hollywood people, my employer and Joe's, have never met each other, let alone appeared on the same occasion, and the two parties have never known each other, yet the three Hollywood people are still the upper echelons of the industry.

"

"Under such circumstances, openly slandering our employer has brought a very bad impact to our employer."

"After all, these three people are very famous all over the world. If these three people slander me together, it will do great harm to my employer's reputation."

"After all, many people suddenly see three big Hollywood stars slandering a person without knowing the facts. In such a situation, there is a high probability that the first impression of my employer will be bad."

"From all aspects of reputation, spirit, and future industry development prospects, when we consider that our employer is a director, a new film director, this kind of harm is invisibly more fatal."

"Therefore, our final appeal is that these three Hollywood people have damaged our employer's reputation, suffered mental harm, and cast a very bad shadow on the prospects of the industry. The losses in all aspects can be expected to be huge. We are suing the above three people for compensation.

Our employer lost $1 billion in damages."

Why did Roy say so much? Because now that this commission has officially begun, he wants to be the first to release a perception to the outside world, that is, his employer has suffered a great loss.

It establishes the initial impression for ordinary people, that is, his employer is innocent and has never caused trouble, but the matter comes to his employer on his own initiative.

In North American courts, it is not the judge who has the final say, but the jury.

A jury is a group of people who take an oath to the judge and make a decision on a given case, especially a group of people who are summoned by law to hear and make the final decision on a case in court.

The jury system refers to a system in which a specific number of citizens with the right to vote participate in deciding whether a suspect should be prosecuted and whether he is guilty.

Determining the facts of a case is an important task for the court of first instance. In a jury trial system, a jury composed of ordinary people is usually used to determine purely objective facts.

The result determined by the jury only has the effect of finding facts and is not a formal judgment. The judge will make a judgment based on legal judgment.

If the jury finds that the facts are unreasonable or violates the legal instructions given by the judge, the judge may apply one by one to exclude the jury's conclusion and make a judgment directly.

Juries are divided into grand juries and petit juries.

The grand jury only applies to criminal cases and consists of 23 people. Its main responsibility is to decide whether to prosecute. It can hear several cases during its term (usually four weeks).

A petit jury participates in the trial to decide whether the defendant is guilty.

In civil litigation, it is decided whether the defendant wants compensation.

Petit juries generally consist of 6-12 people, working in groups for one case.

In North America, regardless of the size of the case, any type of case, criminal, civil, etc., it is essential to form a jury.

Therefore, Roy, the barrister, will start working now.

Don't think that lawyers can only play a role during the court session. A lot of work before the trial is also very important. In individual cases, what you do outside the court session is even more important than the court session.

Sometimes impressing the jury can change the final verdict of a case.

And their employer is a foreigner. The trial was held in a local court and the jury was all local people. Compared with the three Hollywood stars who were the defendants, their employer was at a disadvantage.

Therefore, the war will begin now.
