Guangming District, outside the main gate of the court!
As time passed, countless reporters swarmed in, setting up long guns and short cannons, aiming at the solemn court gate.
Some ordinary people passing by didn't know what was going on, but their eagerness to watch the excitement made them stop and watch, and gradually they knew what case was being tried today.
Almost everyone in the entertainment industry knows about Shen Mu's plagiarism, but netizens outside the entertainment industry just take it as a joke and focus on their daily lives.
What really made Shen Mu known to the public was the beating incident, which made many people know Shen Mu's name.
Those who were watching outside the court naturally wanted to know the outcome.
But some people seem to have made a mistake. The court hearing today is not actually Shen Mu's plagiarism case. Shen Mu is the plaintiff. He is suing Yang Shiping for defaming himself.
From another perspective, these two cases are actually one and the same.
Once the verdict comes down, it will be clear whether there was plagiarism or defamation.
"Do you think Shen Mu can win?"
A reporter was a little impatient and couldn't help but ask. Then he saw several looks from around him directed at him.
"Hey, screenwriter Yang Shiping hired Li Dazhuang. When have you ever seen Li Dazhuang lose a lawsuit?"
A reporter sneered. He seemed to know Li Gongxiang quite well, but his true identity was that he was hired by Wantai Entertainment with a lot of money.
Wantai Entertainment has great influence in the industry and has excellent relations with these media. They just use money to manage their relationships, and this time is no exception.
Of course, in such a public place, they cannot tell lies with their eyes open. All they can do is to work hard to build momentum and influence the direction of public opinion.
Once Shen Mu loses in today's court trial, or if the trial is postponed, they will add fuel to the fire to smear Shen Mu. This is the power of capital.
"That's right, Shen Mu's reputation in the entertainment industry is already bad now. He is just a despicable person who plagiarizes other people's works!"
Another reporter undoubtedly put it more directly. The court had not yet made a ruling, but he was so decisive that many people around him nodded slightly.
"In my opinion, Shen Mu is struggling to his death. Once the results come out today, how can he still quibble?"
A female reporter had a look of anger on her face, and she seemed to be truly indignant because of Shen Mu's plagiarism.
These guys took money from Wantai Entertainment and wanted to trample Shen Mu to death so that he would never be able to stand up again. Of course, they were vicious at this time.
"Guys, you can eat whatever you like, but you can't talk nonsense!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, causing all the reporters to follow the sound and immediately saw three figures standing there.
The figure who spoke among them was a woman. She looked at these reporters who spoke sarcastically with a sneer on her face, and there was even a hint of ridicule.
"Which reporter are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?"
The sarcastic female reporter asked directly.
She felt that she had a wide network of contacts in the industry. She knew some well-known reporters and even looked familiar to them, but this one had no impression at all.
"P station, tea artist life!"
Seeing all the reporters looking at her, Zhao Ying became more energetic. After coughing lightly, she introduced her website and screen name.
"Tea artist?"
All the reporters were stunned for a moment, and then the female reporter seemed to remember something and blurted out: "Are you the Internet celebrity who released the complete video of Shen Mu beating someone?"
After hearing what the female reporter said, everyone reacted immediately.
The look they looked at Zhao Ying was complicated, containing envy, jealousy and hatred.
Because they all know clearly that the beating incident at that time made Zhao Ying gain more than a million followers overnight, and she jumped from an unpopular passerby to a mid-level Internet celebrity.
And this was just because of one video. The popularity of that video at that time made many video websites and mainstream media extremely jealous.
At the same time, I secretly regretted that I didn’t get the complete video as soon as possible, otherwise I would have become famous with this video.
"Exactly!"
Zhao Ying doesn't mind others calling her an Internet celebrity. Being an Internet celebrity has always been her dream.
If she has a bigger dream, it is to become a big internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans.
"It turns out to be you, no wonder!"
A look of disdain appeared on the female reporter's face, and she mocked: "It seems that you have tasted the sweetness from Shen Mu once, and you want to taste it a second time!"
These mocking words immediately resonated with many reporters.
This tea artist became famous thanks to Shen Mu's video of beating someone. It seems that he discovered the traffic password.
"What? Don't you want to? Otherwise, why are you here?"
Zhao Ying's face was full of disbelief, thinking that if Shen Mu hadn't copied this hot spot, how could you guys have gathered at the gate of the court and waited here all morning?
"Also, I have to remind you that Shen Mu did not hit anyone. He was fighting back in self-defense. If you say that Shen Mu hit someone, be careful that he will sue you for slander!"
Zhao Ying now supports Shen Mu, and the truth of that incident has now been revealed.
However, this woman kept talking about Shen Mu's beating incident. Do you really think that Shen Mu has no temper?
"And you guys, the results of the trial haven't come out yet, and you are here slandering Shen Mu with red lips and white teeth. I have recorded all of this. Isn't this considered slander?"
Cha Yan Cha Yu raised the mobile phone in her hand, which made all the reporters look a little unhappy.
Why don’t the women on this p site respect martial ethics? They are indeed quite teasing.
However, it is difficult to refute Zhao Ying's words. They are waiting here to wait for the verdict of a court.
If Shen Mu wins in the end, those things Zhao Ying took will severely smash their faces.
"Humph, if he loses, then this is a fact, and we don't think we have wronged him!"
The female reporter was still a bit arrogant, but after she finished speaking, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that Li Gongxiang and Li Dazhuang would not let go, and it would be best to kill Shen Mu without leaving a trace.
…………
While the quarrel was going on, a black Maybach was parked on the side of the road not far from the court entrance.
The rear window opened, revealing a familiar, somewhat rich face.
If Shen Mu were here, he would recognize that this woman with a rich face is none other than Mrs. Wang, the chairman of Wantai Entertainment who has caused him countless troubles, named Wang Yuanshu.
"Chairman, it seems that the court hearing will be over soon. How about we go to dinner first?"
Assistant Wu Xuan, who was standing outside the car, looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. They had been waiting here all morning and were undoubtedly hungry.
"No hurry, just wait!"
Mrs. Wang was not so anxious. Her eyes never left the court door. She probably wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
In Mrs. Wang's heart, she naturally had great confidence in Li Gongnian.
Coupled with their secret little moves, it was like pulling firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, giving Shen Mu's side no chance of winning.
Since the boss said so, Wu Xuan could only continue to wait hungry, while her eyes were directed at another luxury car not far ahead.
"It seems that Director Zhang and the others don't want to miss this great show!"
Wu Xuan murmured, obviously already knowing that the person sitting in the car in front was Zhang Deshun, the chairman of Shunde Group, and the protagonist of the original beating incident.
Since that incident was reversed, Shunde Group's stock price has plummeted. If Zhang Deshun had not apologized in front of the media later, I am afraid that his position as chairman may not be guaranteed.
Therefore, Zhang Deshun and Mrs. Wang have similar thoughts. They both want to trample that hateful young director to death. Today is undoubtedly an opportunity.
As long as Shen Mu's plagiarism is confirmed, they will have a lot of room for maneuver.
Even if the two powers join forces, under the heavy pressure of absolute capital, Shen Mu will definitely have no room for improvement.
…………
"Look, someone is coming out!"
Just when people of all kinds were waiting a little impatiently, a loud voice came from somewhere, and immediately there was a commotion at the gate of the court.
All the reporters were on fire, and countless mobile phones, cameras, and microphones were turned towards the court gate.
Their eyes immediately turned to the door of the court.
Then they saw three figures coming out hand in hand, it was Shen Mu, Ye Lan and Wang Rongcheng.
"Why did they come out first?"
Seeing this scene, the reporters who Mrs. Wang spent a lot of money to invite were undoubtedly a little disappointed, because this was not in line with what they had in mind.
If Shen Mu loses the lawsuit, he will never show up here in advance, and may even be arrested directly by the bailiff. The crime of plagiarism is also a very serious crime.
The next moment, when everyone saw the smiles on the faces of the three people, their hearts trembled.
I always feel that the outcome of today's court hearing is a little different from what I imagined.
On the contrary, the neutral reporters and media seemed to understand something when they saw this scene.
For them, there isn't much of a psychological gap.
"Let me tell you, Shen Mu will definitely win!"
A pleasant smile also appeared on Zhao Ying's face, and she looked particularly excited.
Her words did not hide much, and seemed to have finalized the nature of this trial.
"The results haven't come out yet, so don't get too happy!"
The mean female reporter turned around and replied harshly. Unfortunately, such words seemed a bit lacking in confidence.
Perhaps in the minds of the media invited by Mrs. Wang, some things will not be as they imagined after all, and I am afraid that I am a little ashamed of receiving the money.
Such rebuttal is just their last struggle. Maybe reality will slap them in the face next.
Because the smile on the handsome young director's face said it all.
