Three hundred and eighty fourth chapter: the court
Chapter 384: Going to court
Two days later.
The highly publicized Yang Xi plagiarism case officially opened after more than a week. Both the plaintiff and the defendant attended in person. The court this time was slightly smaller and relatively secretive. It was not open to the public like the Zhao family's formaldehyde case last time.
, so the number of people who can attend the event is also limited, and there are only a dozen or so people in the seats, including individual media reporters.
There were obviously more people sitting on both sides of the auditorium near the plaintiff. Those sitting in the front row were all acquaintances, including Xia Ning, Deng Qi, Xia Jingze, and even Mu Ge, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, brought his assistant to cheer An Zhisu up.
Behind them, in the second row, were girls from the studios of Zhao Yu and Meng Manni. Tu Xiaoting and Xie Xinyan were on vacation recently, but they both came back from Sioux City to attend the lawsuit.
Compared with the formation here, the auditorium near the defendant is a bit bleak. The most distinguished person is An Tingnuan. She doesn’t know what happened today. Not only did she not avoid suspicion, she also came to listen in person.
It's a bit unpredictable, after all, the An's Group has been trying its best to distance itself from Yang Xi recently.
There were several reporters sitting behind An Tingnuan, and behind them were some of Yang Xi's friends. It was unclear whether they were here to support Yang Xi or to watch Yang Xi's jokes. Their expressions were a bit intriguing.
It is worth noting that there is a man and a woman sitting in an inconspicuous corner. Both of them are wearing masks, as if they are afraid of being recognized. However, if someone looks carefully, they can still recognize that the girl is He Siyi.
It's just that no one paid attention to her right now.
There was still time before the court session, and the auditorium was filled with small conversations. Xia Jingze asked Mu Ge in a low voice, "Why are you here too?"
Mu Ge wore a mask and smiled slightly: "There is no announcement today."
"It's rare." Xia Jingze made a pun. Firstly, now that Mu Ge is popular, it is rare for him to have a chance to rest. Secondly, it is rare for him to rest and remember his sister-in-law's affairs. As expected, his sister-in-law did not misjudge the person.
Mu Ge smiled and asked: "I heard that you launched an idol drama with a big IP?"
"Yeah." Xia Jingze said, "I'm ready to change my career. I don't want to take on too many idol dramas."
"Transform now?" Mu Ge was surprised: "If you make idol dramas for ten more years, fans will buy it."
Xia Jingze shook his head: "No, I will do more positive energy dramas like Da Qing Ge Ge in the future to show that I am stable."
Muge:……
Why do you look so stable? Who doesn’t want to film more idol dramas? Are you planning to film more anti-war dramas to tap into the fan market of uncles and aunties?
Xia Ning also looked at his younger brother with a look that looked like a lunatic. Why was he so crazy? Wasn't it said in the past that only domineering CEOs in idol dramas can best demonstrate his noble temperament?
"Hey, this is inside information." Deng Qi suffered from an occupational disease. She opened her notebook and wrote down what Xia Jingze said.
Xia Jingze said with a dark face: "This is not allowed to be reported."
"Why?" Deng Qi didn't understand.
Xia Jingze said confidently: "I'm afraid that if the news is released in advance, my fans will cut their wrists to stop it."
Deng Qi:……
Muge:……
Xia Ning:......
Haha, where is the face?
"Actor Xia is so funny." Mu Ge's assistant covered her lips and said with a smile.
Xia Jingze gave her a wink, which made the assistant blush.
Just at this time, the door of the court was slammed shut, the judges filed out, and the auditorium was automatically silenced. Everyone consciously remained silent.
The presiding judge, judges, clerks, etc. took their seats in the trial seat in turn, followed by the plaintiff and the plaintiff's lawyer. The defendant and the defendant's lawyer came out from the side door and sat down in their own seats.
"Sister An, Lawyer Song, come on." Several girls from Su Huan's studio made cheering gestures towards An Zhisu and Song Jiaren who were on the plaintiff's bench.
An Zhisu smiled at them, Xia Ning and others, while Song Jiaren raised her chin confidently, and the queen-colored lipstick on her lips made her aura full.
Xia Jingze felt that Song Jiaren in the court was really domineering and more intuitive than the last time he saw it in the photo. This was the real reason why he came here to listen in today, but no one knew about his little thoughts.
On the other hand, in the dock, after Yang Xi and the lawyer came out, they did not interact with anyone in the auditorium. Yang Xi just glanced at An Tingnuan without leaving any trace, as if as long as An Tingnuan was there, she would feel extremely at ease. .
After the plaintiff, defendant, and lawyers from both sides arrived, the clerk began to identify the parties, then announced court discipline, and then the trial began.
First, Song Jiaren, as An Zhisu's attorney, stated what happened, filed a lawsuit against Yang Xi, and submitted various evidence to prove the authenticity of Yang Xi's plagiarism.
Song Jiaren always adopts a fast-attack strategy in court. By presenting the obvious evidence first and then making a sonorous and powerful speech, she can often gain the upper hand.
This time was no exception. The evidence she submitted was the appraisal result of the authoritative department, which confirmed that the manuscript provided by An Zhisu was created three years ago, while Yang Xi's manuscript was created six months ago. From a time perspective, it was Yang Xi Plagiarized from An Zhisu.
"Your Honor, I also have an appraisal report here. In fact, my client's manuscript was created three years ago, not six months ago." Yang Xi's lawyer Cheng Ming objected and submitted an appraisal report. .
While the report was being submitted, Cheng Ming also used his computer to display the electronic version of the appraisal report on the projector, and everyone in the auditorium could see it clearly through the big screen.
Cheng Ming said firmly: "This appraisal report was authenticated using the photos provided by my client. The photos were taken three years ago. After my client completed the manuscript, he took an electronic version with his mobile phone for backup. Half a year ago, I The party concerned dug out the electronic backup and re-drawn it in manuscript form. There was no plagiarism at all.”
Cheng Ming then posted a photo, which showed the design of the flagship model at the Ann brand press conference, which was exactly the same as the design draft that Deng Qi produced that night.
As soon as this appraisal was taken out, the appraisal submitted by Song Jiaren was not conclusive enough. After all, the appraisal can only identify the year, and no matter how accurate it is, it can only be accurate to the month, not the day, so it cannot be concluded that the photo is early. , or An Zhisu's manuscript is earlier.
Cheng Ming looked at Song Jiaren with some pride, he wanted to see how Song Jiaren would respond.
Song Jiaren sneered and made a request: "Presiding judge, I want to ask questions to the defendant."
"Permitted." The presiding judge agreed.
Song Jiaren stood up, and Yang Xi was a little nervous. The psychological shadow caused by Song Jiaren in court last time made her a little afraid of being asked questions by Song Jiaren, for fear that the other party would dig a hole for her.
Cheng Ming gave her a reassuring look, and Yang Xi dared to straighten her back and look at Song Jiaren.
