Outside the court gate, Shen Mu didn't seem to be affected by the reporters' ulterior motives at all. Instead, he stared at Sun Beitao and spoke with a smile.
Sun Beitao just responded with a sneer and didn't say much.
Because he knew clearly that no matter what he said, I'm afraid Shen Mu would never admit to plagiarism.
"There's just one thing I don't understand, and I want to ask Director Sun for help!"
Shen Mu didn't know where the conversation came from, but they actually started chatting at the gate of the court.
After hearing his words, the reporters became extremely excited and concentrated their attention.
"Director Sun has been working hard in the directing industry of Longguo for many years. Why would he use his famous name to be a gun in the hands of others?"
Shen Mu didn't care about what the other party thought. He knew that Mrs. Wang must be the one behind this matter, or instigated it, but Sun Beitao shouldn't be that stupid, right?
Shen Mu didn't know Sun Beitao's mental journey, nor did he know how badly the ratings of Prince's Revenge had failed, which was a big blow to the famous Dragon Kingdom director.
Coupled with a certain screenshot released by Ye Lan and Zhao Ying, it was the last straw that broke Sun Beitao's nerves, making him angry and choose to take risks.
Perhaps Sun Beitao had some regrets and hesitations during the past few days of calmness, but when Long Bo issued the "see you in court" message, he had already fired his bow and there was no turning back.
Even if he knew that Shen Mu did not plagiarize, even if he knew that his reputation might be ruined, Sun Beitao could only go to the dark side.
He can only use victory in the lawsuit to protect his reputation.
"Shen Mu, I, Sun Beitao, am not anyone's gun. I just want to uphold the justice of the original creator!"
The other party asked questions again and again, and Sun Beitao felt that if he didn't answer, he would look guilty, so he replied with a few serious words, which attracted bursts of applause.
Those journalists who applauded us were undoubtedly people invited by Wantai Entertainment.
They only wanted to trample Shen Mu to death, and naturally they wanted Sun Beitao to gain the upper hand.
"Director Sun, it's not easy for you to work hard for many years. I can give you another chance!"
Shen Mu sighed in his heart, and then said softly: "As long as you withdraw the lawsuit now and post an apology statement online, I can pretend that nothing happened!"
The reason why Shen Mu said these words was that he really wanted to give Sun Beitao another chance.
There is no great feud between the two sides, so why should the dispute get out of hand?
But Shen Mu also knew in his heart that Sun Beitao would probably not cherish this opportunity given by his generosity.
If he gives in in such a public place, it may be no different than Sun Beitao losing the lawsuit directly, and he will never be able to hang out in the Longguo entertainment industry again in the future.
"Apologise? Joke!"
As expected by Shen Mu, when Sun Beitao heard his "whimsical" words, he finally couldn't help but snorted and almost laughed out loud.
"It's obvious that you, Shen Mu, plagiarized, and it's obvious that Langya Bang plagiarized the idea of Prince's Revenge, but you actually have the nerve to ask me to apologize?"
The more Sun Beitao talked, the angrier he became. Finally, he turned his gaze to the reporters' cameras and said angrily: "How arrogant and arrogant!"
"It seems that only the justice of the law can make such arrogant people sober up!"
After Sun Beitao said these last words, he turned around and walked into the door of the court.
Behind them, Zhao Ke and Guan Congrong also looked at Shen Mu with sneers on their faces. They didn't say much. Everything should be based on the court's decision.
"Everyone has seen that I have given him a chance, but he didn't want it!"
Shen Mu spread his hands helplessly and continued, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "So, if the trial is over and he kneels down and begs me like Yang Shiping did, please stop kidnapping me morally!"
When all the reporters heard this, the scene at the gate of the Guangming District Court came to mind, causing their expressions to change slightly.
Sun Beitao, who had already entered the court gate, staggered.
It's so arrogant for you to assume that I will kneel down and beg for mercy before the trial has even started in this fucking court.
But for some reason, the scene where Yang Shiping knelt down and begged for mercy also appeared in Sun Beitao's mind.
At that time, this incident caused quite a stir on the Internet. The video released by the tea artist focused on this scene and even included some close-ups.
At that time, Yang Shiping burst into tears and begged Shen Mu for forgiveness.
At that time, Shen Mu also stated that he had given the other party a chance, but the other party did not want it.
"No, it can't happen again!"
After throwing these thoughts out of his mind, Sun Beitao subconsciously clenched his fists and stopped thinking about them.
How could he, a great director of the Dragon Kingdom, be like that coward Yang Shiping?
"Everyone, please wait for my good news!"
Shen Mu smiled and said hello to the reporters, especially looking at certain places a few times, before turning around and walking into the court door, looking quite chic.
All the reporters looked at each other, not knowing what they were feeling for a moment.
Logically speaking, based on the evidence Sun Beitao released online, Shen Mu should be worried.
But now looking at this guy's state, he is so relaxed.
Not only did he threaten Sun Beitao verbally, but he also ignored his past grudges against these malicious reporters.
Such an attitude shows that Shen Mu is really relaxed.
In this case, Shen Mu must have some trump card.
Otherwise, if we really lose the lawsuit, will we still be able to talk and laugh as well as we do now?
"Why does this scene feel a bit familiar?"
This is the consensus of many reporters, and when this idea came to their mind, they suddenly discovered that it was exactly the same as when they were waiting for the defamation and plagiarism case in front of the court.
For some reason, journalists like Zuo Wenli and others with ulterior motives subconsciously felt uneasy.
In fact, Shen Mu's attitude was a little different from what they thought. He didn't have the slightest awareness of being the defendant. Instead, it was as if he, Shen Mu, was the plaintiff.
This court hearing was also not made public, so Guo Tianzhen and his son stayed outside. The serious expressions on their faces also made the reporters think deeply.
As for the more peripheral ones, there are two managers from Station P, plus a tea artist.
Their moods were also very complicated, and there was also a hint of undisguised worry.
Except for Ye Lan, Shen Mu's irrefutable evidence was not even told to the leading actors of the Wolf Fang List, let alone these people with more distant connections.
Therefore, neither Sun Yunwei, Jiang Xing nor tea artist Zhao Ying actually knew what Shen Mu's trump card was.
Although they could see from a distance that Shen Mu was confident, they must still be uneasy until the final result came out.
Now that Langya List has been tied to Station P, if it is finally determined to be plagiarism, Station P will suffer huge losses.
It's so big that it's unimaginable, and it might even lead to lawsuits.
As the three parties involved in the introduction of the Wolf Fang List, they are directly responsible.
Therefore, the outcome of today's lawsuit, to be more serious, is related to their future for the rest of their lives.
There were several luxury cars parked on the roadside further out. If Shen Mu could see inside through the car windows, he would recognize several old acquaintances.
Among them, Mrs. Wang from Wantai Entertainment, Zhang Deshun, chairman of Shunde Group, Wan Mingyuan from Wantong Capital, etc. are all paying attention to the final outcome of today's trial.
It's just that this is destined to be a long waiting process, and for that result, these big shots in Dragon City have canceled several important meetings.
I have to say that Shen Mula's ability to hate is as powerful as his directing ability!
…………
Inside the court, Judgment Hall No. 3!
In this case, neither party requested out-of-court mediation, so it entered the trial process directly, and by coincidence, it was in Trial Hall No. 3.
And when Shen Mu, Ye Lan and Wang Rongcheng walked into the No. 3 Trial Hall, they saw a familiar figure sitting in the clerk's seat.
"Secretary Lu, we meet again!"
Shen Fei smiled and said hello first, which made Lu Fei, who was busy with something, look up. A look of surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Hello, Mr. Shen!"
Lu Fei suppressed her excitement and said hello with a serious expression.
On such an occasion, she couldn't show that she was too familiar with Shen Mu, even if they weren't very familiar with each other in the first place.
"Um?"
Such a conversation also stunned Sun Beitao and the other three who had just arrived at the plaintiff's table, and their mood soon became a little bad.
Because it seemed that Shen Mu knew the court staff, even if the clerk did not dare to seek personal information, sometimes some details might affect the judge's final decision.
At least when the three of them came in first, the clerk didn't say hello to them.
Even if Guan Congrong has been in court and has been to court countless times, he rarely encounters such a thing.
"The presiding judge in this case is not Judge Tao, right?"
Ye Lan, who was sitting in the dock with Shen Mu, looked a little strange.
She first glanced at Lu Fei over there, and then asked a question, which made Shen Mu and Wang Rongcheng look at each other.
"Haha, you don't expect Judge Tao to look at me differently, do you?"
Shen Mu came back to his senses, smiled and made a joke, and then said seriously: "Judge Tao's face looks fair and selfless, so don't count on it!"
Ta-ta-ta!
Just as Shen Mu finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from a distance, and then three figures appeared at the door. The first one was Judge Tao Zhiji.
Tao Zhiji, who walked into Judgment Hall No. 3, didn't know if he heard what Shen Mu just said.
But her eyes were directed at Shen Mu at first sight, making the latter look quite embarrassed.
Although Shen Mu didn't say anything bad, talking about others behind their backs is not a good thing after all.
What's more, the person talking is still the presiding judge today.
