Chapter 1967: Don’t test people’s hearts

Li Lianjie didn't believe a word of what Ye Ming said. Who in the entertainment industry doesn't know that Ye Ming is the one who must report his flaws? You said you wouldn't let foreigners see the joke, and you even gave the Huo family an idea to go to the UK to file a lawsuit with us.

Moreover, the lawyer also said that the place chosen by Ye Ming is also very treacherous. Even in the United States, it is not impossible for this kind of reputation lawsuit to drag on for a year or two, and the plaintiff has the possibility of winning. not very big.

How is it like in the UK? This kind of reputational lawsuit is very unfavorable to the defendant in the UK, especially when the defendant is at a loss.

The sun never sets on the British Empire. Although it is now the second-in-command and cannot defeat Eagle Sauce, it is important to save face after all. British gentlemen regard face as very important. As long as their own interests are not harmed, this The British actually value face very much.

Therefore, Li Lianjie had no choice but to give in, and settling out of court was a very good option.

At least if you choose to settle out of court, other people will stop laughing.

Therefore, news soon spread in the entertainment industry that the Fearless crew and the Huo family had reached an out-of-court settlement in the UK.

The Huo Yuanjia crew published an apology statement in major British media, apologizing to the Huo family.

But as a legal person, why did you choose to publish an apology statement in a British newspaper? In fact, it was because of the lawsuit in the UK. For this kind of thing, of course, you have to publish an apology statement in the UK.

What's more, this kind of apology statement actually has a certain impact on the reputation of the Fearless crew.

It's shameful. Even if the court rules, it will be very shameless for the Fearless crew. If it were published in China, it would be even more embarrassing.

Therefore, if an apology statement is published in a British newspaper, at least few Chinese people will read British newspapers. This also alleviated the embarrassment of the Fearless crew to a certain extent.

Therefore, this apology statement must be published in the UK, which is also a condition put forward by the crew.

As for the Huo family, in fact, in a matter like this, what they want is victory in the lawsuit. Although this time it was an out-of-court settlement, the out-of-court settlement was also an apology and payment by the Huo Yuanjia crew. They are considered members of the Huo family. A quick victory.

Therefore, when it comes to such a matter, in fact, more generally speaking, it means that the people of the Huo family have a good reputation.

As for where to apologize, it doesn't matter at all. What is important is that domestic entertainment reporters must have reported that the Fearless crew will apologize.

This is enough for the Huo family. In fact, they did not expect the Fearless crew to actually lose money.

Now that the first-instance verdict has been issued, the Huo family has also consulted a lawyer. At this time, it is unlikely that they will win the lawsuit and require compensation.

This victory in the UK was unexpected.

The Huo family will be compensated 20,000 pounds for lost work and 800,000 pounds for mental losses. This really surprised people in the entertainment industry. The Huo family really won this victory. This is something that has never happened in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Eight hundred and twenty thousand pounds, which is more than 10 million pounds in compensation. Of course, this is not a big deal in terms of the profit of the Fearless crew. In Fearless's movie, Li Lian alone Jay's income is 30 million US dollars.

Therefore, it is more than one million US dollars, and Li Lianjie did not pay it alone. This matter really does not have much impact on Li Lianjie.

But on an issue like this, the Huo family is considered to be rich by everyone.

Therefore, the entertainment industry's coverage of this news can be said to be overwhelming. Even if the Huo family did not really return to the country at this time, the victory of the cross-border lawsuit had already made headlines.

At this time, there are naturally very few reporters in China who would go directly to the UK to interview the Huo family and Guo Degang. But going directly to Ye Ming to ask what exactly is going on is still a matter of course. It can be done.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is not an easy task for celebrities like Li Lianjie and Ye Ming to find them, even for reporters who are relatively familiar with them.

After all, an international star of this level is not just elusive.

Unless it is the promotion period of a work, it is generally not easy to find a star of this level.

Just like Li Lianjie, it is no longer the time for Li Lianjie to promote Fearless. Therefore, even if everyone wants to find Li Lianjie to interview about this issue, it is not an easy task. .

In this case, it was relatively easy to find Ye Ming. In fact, if you wanted to find Ye Ming in the past, it was still more difficult than finding Li Lianjie.

But, at this time, didn't Ye Ming say that he had to do something? One is a big movie of the variety show Running Brothers, and the other is Ode to Joy.

These two films were recently produced by Ye Ming, so it would be relatively easy to find these two crews. Anyway, Ye Ming is either on the crew of Ode to Joy or the crew of Brothers on the Run. Therefore, in such a situation, it is relatively easy to find Ye Ming.

As for Ye Ming, he didn't care at all when he saw so many reporters. Now he wished that someone was paying attention to him.

Run Brother is a big movie that is easy to talk about. If there is CCTV as the backstage, then there is no need to worry about the hype for a movie like this. In China, as long as it has something to do with CCTV, if you want to hype it up, then It's very easy.

However, the crew of Ode to Joy is not easy to hype. After all, these people are all newcomers. Even the more famous Empress Jiang Xin and Liu Tao, who is considered an old man in the entertainment industry, but in such a situation, as a For a new TV series, its appeal is relatively limited.

Moreover, this is a TV series with a female protagonist. If you want to say something like becoming an overnight sensation, it would be difficult.

After all, there are only a handful of classic TV series with female protagonists.

Therefore, despite Ye Ming's blessing, under such circumstances, it is not an easy task to really hype up Ode to Joy.

But this time many reporters came to visit, actually to interview Ye Ming. Ye Ming also knew very clearly why everyone came. The reporters asked a few questions. At the beginning, they were actually focused on the people of the Huo family and Ye Ming also answered some of the situations on the Huo Yuanjia crew one by one.

Moreover, Ye Ming also said that if the Huo family can win in the UK, of course it will be victory rather than victory in the lawsuit. After all, everyone settled out of court.

This is actually to give the other party some face. Although Ye Ming thinks victory is victory, it is really not good for foreigners to laugh at foreign countries. This was a key reason for the rapid reconciliation.

Of course, he would not tell reporters this, but said that this was an exception. If Fearless had not been screened in the UK, it would not have been easy to fight such a lawsuit in the UK. .

At this time, everyone guessed that it was really clear why the Huo family went to the UK to sue the Fearless crew in the UK, and after the case was filed in the UK, Li Lianjie flew over directly. The purpose of meeting Ye Ming was actually to discuss the possibility of settling the case out of court.

As a result, everyone can see it. Not long after this, news came out that the Huo family and the Huo Yuanjia crew had settled out of court.

At this time, the Huo family in the UK were also relatively depressed.

In fact, they were relieved to win this lawsuit.

The crew of Fearless Huo Yuanjia have also apologized. Therefore, no matter how you say it, at this time, they are already quite contented with such a matter.

But the compensation amount is 820,000 pounds. If converted into RMB, it would be more than 10 million.

This is indeed a huge sum for the Huo family. How many people can see with their own eyes how much more than ten million is in their lifetime?

Except for a few people in banks and other departments, ordinary people may never have such an opportunity in their lifetime.

Money moves people's hearts. There is nothing wrong with such a thing.

Therefore, in fact, this 820,000 pounds is quite tempting.

There are really many people in the Huo family who want to take it for themselves.

After all, it was money to compensate the Huo family. Therefore, in the eyes of the people on the shelves, the money should belong to the Huo family.

That's because these people don't know Ye Ming's power at all, and think that being able to win the case is their own ability.

They never imagined what kind of harsh punishment they would face if they dared to take such a sum of money for themselves.

In fact, Huo Shan himself is also a little tempted. In Guo Degang's words, it is not shameful. Facing so much money, if you are not tempted, you are either a fool or a saint.

Therefore, money and silk move people's hearts. This is a true portrayal of the current situation.

But at this time, accidents still happened.

That is to say, the account opened by Huoshan in the UK was actually entrusted to Pedro, a lawyer, to temporarily manage it on his behalf. Of course, the money must be transferred to the accounts of the Huo family.

Otherwise, even the British court would not agree.

But in the Huo family's account, there is indeed 820,000 pounds, and the real name is 820,000 pounds.

But in such a matter, there is another problem, that is to say, in such a situation, in fact, the one problem they really think about is the compensation to their own family, they Can't be used.

At this time, Huo Shan was a little curious. Why?

If you want to answer this question, you naturally turn to Guo Degang.

Guo Degang was in England accompanying a group of Huo family members in a lawsuit. After all, they were fellow villagers, and Lao Guo was still very loyal at this time.

Upon hearing Huo Shan's question, Guo Degang did not hide it, but asked directly: "Master Huo, actually, such a thing was arranged by our boss.

Think about it, 800,000 pounds, converted into our Chinese money, is more than 10 million. Could it be that you, Mr. Huo, are not tempted by this money?

Even if your boss, Gao Liangliang, is not tempted, can you guarantee that the rest of the Huo family will not be tempted?

And I also heard some gossip from the Huo family, thinking that the money was to compensate the Huo family, and it should be the Huo family who decided what to do with it.

Regarding feelings, there are already people in your own family who want to keep talking, right? You should have a pretty good idea of ​​what kind of person our boss is.

If you offend our boss, you will definitely be retaliated against. Is this correct? "

Huo Shan could only nod helplessly. On this point, what Guo Degang said was not wrong at all. The Huo family was indeed tempted by the money. In fact, even he himself was tempted. When he was drinking last night, he seemed What do you think about the money?

Lao Guo seemed to be enlightening him at that time.

It’s just that after he sobered up, Huo Shan knew very well what kind of person Ye Ming was. He was a person who must report his flaws. He was very famous in the entertainment industry, and he was a real kung fu person.

Once such a person is offended, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, after waking up, Huoshan didn't think about how to keep the money for himself.

But his family couldn't touch the money, so of course he wanted to ask clearly what this kind of thing was like.

I didn't expect Guo Degang to answer like this.

Therefore, Huo Shan actually had no choice but to say: "The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and we, the Huo family, are the same. There will always be some unworthy descendants.

But don’t worry, Mr. Guo, I said I would donate money to establish an education fund, so I definitely mean what I say.

In other words, the Fearless Education Fund also helped our ancestors of the Huo family become famous, right? "

Guo Degang nodded and said, "Come on, Mr. Huo, you are a sensible person, but can you guarantee that everyone in your family is a sensible person?

Therefore, our boss has also said that this kind of thing should be nipped in the bud and don't use more than 10 million to test people's hearts.

At this time, the human heart is least able to withstand the test of money.

Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, it is a good choice to directly let the lawyer temporarily control the money. "
