Strictly speaking, the so-called lawyer's letter does not have any legal effect. It is just a warning issued by the lawyer of one of the parties to the infringing party.
But the profession of lawyer is originally quite mysterious in the minds of ordinary people. They always feel that once professional lawyers come forward, lawsuits will be much easier to fight.
Therefore, when the passers-by watching outside Liuyun Hall saw Zhao Ke taking out the lawyer's letter, their mentality changed and they began to whisper outside.
"Do you think the Langya List is really plagiarized?"
"It's possible. I've also watched Prince's Revenge. There are indeed many similarities in at least the first ten episodes!"
"I didn't know what the story of Langya Bang was before, but now it seems like it's just the process of revenge for the prince of the palace?"
"In other words, the copied drama Langya Bang actually defeated the original drama The Revenge of the Crown Prince?"
"No wonder Director Sun is so angry. If Lang Ya Bang is really plagiarized, then Shen Mu has gone too far!"
"Let's wait and see how things develop, maybe we'll have to go to court again!"
"Speaking of the court, what happened to the screenwriter Yang Shiping who originally accused Shen Mu of plagiarism?"
"..."
There was not much cover-up in the discussions outside, and many of the words even reached Liuyun Hall, making the faces of all the main creators of Wolf Fang List become extremely ugly.
It must be said that the lawyer's letter has a great power to shock ordinary people. Coupled with Zhao Ke's righteous look, the mentality of onlookers is gradually changing.
However, when these unsavory comments were suddenly interjected with a fact that had already happened, everyone's comments immediately stopped.
"Yes, Shen Mu has already been slandered once, and the screenwriter Yang Shiping who slandered him for plagiarism, together with his two lawyers, have now gone in!"
This is the consensus of everyone. That incident caused a huge commotion on the Internet, and Zhao Ying directly gained two million fans, and almost everyone knew about it.
The Golden Dragon Hotel usually receives people from the entertainment industry, or at least high-end people who are related to the entertainment industry.
How could these onlookers outside the Liuyun Hall not know this?
Since Shen Mu proved that he was slandered last time, and this time Sun Beitao accuses Shen Mu of plagiarism, will it be the evil person who files the complaint first?
Although the deterrence of the lawyer's letter is not small, the impact of the last trial results on ordinary people will definitely be greater.
Shen Mu not only got the client Yang Shiping into it, but also brought the other party's two lawyers together.
This kind of impact is simply unparalleled.
What's more, they went to inquire about the identities of the two lawyers afterwards. It didn't matter if they didn't inquire, but they were shocked when they did.
One of them is Li Dazhuang, a well-known person in Longcheng, who is the chief legal officer of Wantai Entertainment. It is said that he wins nine out of ten cases, and it is a case that many ordinary lawyers find difficult to fight.
Another lawyer named Yang Xugang, although not well-known in Longcheng, is a celebrity in Pengcheng.
Many wealthy people want to file lawsuits with him, so they have to make an appointment in advance.
Just two famous and well-known lawyers were sent directly to the detention center without Shen Mu's lawyer being able to speak?
What does this mean? In fact, many people have guessed.
This means that the evidence presented by Shen Mu is too hard, so hard that even those two unparalleled eloquent figures can't turn the tide.
So at this moment, when everyone saw that Shen Mu was said to be a plagiarist again, their reaction was undoubtedly a little different from the previous time.
This young director is best at reversals.
"With such a piece of tattered paper, do you think you can really scare us?"
Ye Lan didn't even reach out to pick up the lawyer's letter. As an agent, she naturally knew what a lawyer's letter was.
It's okay to scare ordinary people, but it's absolutely impossible for Langya Bang to admit plagiarism.
What's more, Ye Lan knew the cause and effect of this matter. Now that she knew why the other party came, her eyes subconsciously turned to Shen Mu.
"This guy is really good at predicting things!"
Ye Lan looked extremely angry, but in fact he was not worried at all, because all of this was within Shen Mu's expectations.
According to what Shen Mu said at the time, if Sun Beitao didn't cause any trouble, then they would just turn a blind eye and not cause trouble for the other party, so as to save themselves trouble.
Anyway, the Wolf Fang List has already won a complete victory, crushing the Crown Prince's Revenge to a pulp. Shen Mu doesn't want to do this kind of thing, and he doesn't even bother to do it.
After all, the other party is considered a veteran in the directing world. Both of them are in the entertainment industry. They don't meet each other when they look up. There is no need to get into trouble and never interact with each other until they die.
But now, Sun Beitao was obviously instigated by Mrs. Wang and wanted to trample Langya Bang to death, and then trample Shen Mu to death, which are two different things.
I don't want to bully others first, but others don't want to bully me either!
This is Shen Mu's principle of life.
Hello, I'm hello, that's all, but you, Sun Beitao, have come to provoke me. If I don't fight back, can I still be a son of destiny with a system?
"So, you don't admit that Lang Ya Bang plagiarized?"
Zhao Ke had a sneer on his face. He gently placed the lawyer's letter on the table next to him, and the rhetorical question he asked seemed to have expected the other party's reaction.
"I recorded everything you said today. If you continue to pester me, Yang Shiping's fate will be the best lesson for others!"
While Ye Lan was speaking, she also raised the cell phone she had hidden behind her back. Now she was inspired by Shen Mu and would think about preserving evidence anytime and anywhere.
Ye Lan's words contained admonitions and unabashed threats.
Now Yang Shiping has been sentenced to three years, and he will also be sentenced to a heavier sentence for falsifying evidence and being punished for several crimes.
From Ye Lan's point of view, even though these guys are extremely powerful at the moment, as soon as they think of Yang Shiping's fate, they will probably die down.
"Yang Shiping is Yang Shiping, I am me!"
It was only then that Sun Beitao finally took a step forward, and the words coming out of his mouth seemed to be confident.
At the same time, he also reminded the other party not to compare himself with that idiot Yang Shiping.
Due to some of the preparations he had made before, Sun Beitao felt that he would never lose this time.
You, Shen Mu, can't predict the future, right?
As long as it can be proven that Langya Bang plagiarized the Prince's Revenge, then both the endless glory Langya Bang received and the aggrieved he suffered because of the Prince's Revenge can be changed instantly.
Sun Beitao was a little excited thinking that he would take all the glory of the Langya List for himself.
The guilt hidden deep in my heart also disappeared at this moment.
He tried hard to make himself feel that all of this was not his fault. It was all because of you, Shen Mu, who kept pressing you step by step. Only then did he fight back. Who told you to bully others too much?
If you, Shen Mu, are sensible at that time, I, Sun Beitao, can be lenient and let you apologize and pay for it.
If not, then Yang Shiping's fate is also a lesson for you.
"Shen Mu, I can give you another chance to admit that Langya Bang plagiarized Prince's Revenge. Otherwise, after tonight, this opportunity will no longer exist!"
Sun Beitao feels that he is really generous. Now he has hypnotized himself. He is the original of the Wolf Fang List, and you, Shen Mu, are just a plagiarism villain.
As an original creator, I am so generous and can still give you a chance at a time like this. Shouldn't you be grateful and shed tears of gratitude?
"Shen Mu, I find that these old guys are really more shameless than the last!"
Ye Lan almost laughed out loud. Her eyes first glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then rested on Sun Beitao. The words she spoke contained endless ridicule.
"Maybe he was temporarily bewitched!"
Shen Mu shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to Sun Beitao and said, "Director Sun, you have become famous. Do you really want to gamble with your fame?"
"I would also like to advise Director Sun, it is still too late to stop now. If you really do something irreversible, you will regret it!"
Shen Mu also had an admonishing look on his face.
He couldn't figure it out, why did Sun Beitao still make these mistakes that only young people would make at such an old age?
Although The Prince's Revenge was crushed by the Langya List, it still has a good reputation. Putting aside Cheng Yaojin who made it through the Langya List, it can be regarded as a good drama of the year.
Although he borrowed some ideas from the Wolf Fang List, Shen Mu didn't want to make things too extreme. As long as the other party was interested, he could pretend that nothing had happened.
But this seemingly steady Sun Beitao did something that Shen Mu couldn't understand at all. Is it true that the older he gets, the more impulsive he becomes?
"I think you are the one who should regret it, right?"
Seeing that Sun Beitao was somewhat silent, Mrs. Wang was really afraid that Sun Beitao would change his mind, so she spoke up, her tone full of confidence.
"Shen Mu, do you really think you can be so arrogant just because you won a lawsuit?"
There was a sneer on Mrs. Wang's face as she continued: "As a director with a film background, how could you have made a high-quality TV series like Langya Bang if it wasn't for plagiarism?"
"Director Sun has already given you a chance, but you don't want it. So don't blame Director Sun for being ruthless!"
As if she was afraid that Sun Beitao would be influenced by Shen Mu again, after saying these words, Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
"Shen Mu, we'll see, I hope you won't regret it!"
Now that things have come to this, Sun Beitao no longer thinks about the things that are and are not, and can only follow Mrs. Wang all the way to the dark side, and even said a harsh word before leaving.
If it had been before they appeared here and said those words, there might have been room for change.
But now, in front of so many people, as well as many passers-by and bystanders, Sun Beitao has accused Shen Mu of plagiarism and handed over a lawyer's letter, so there is no turning back for him.
Even if he changes his attitude now, he will still be considered by others as a director who cannot afford to lose.
It would be too narrow-minded to slander one's competitors for a drama that suffered a disastrous ratings failure.
