Chapter 73 The Press Conference in the Theater

This cannot be blamed on Ji Hongming. He has never seen a camera before, and he does not know why the noise is made there.

In order to smoothly proceed the entire plan, Lin Zixuan specially found a large cabinet for clothes to place them in the corner of the wall. Of course, there were no clothes in the cabinet, but audio movie machines and Douglas Sheila.

Douglas hid in the cabinet and was responsible for recording the sound. It was the key to make sure that the sound was recorded clearly.

Lin Zixuan tried this several times before finding the best effect.

There has been no secret investigation or secret photo shoot in this era. Ji Hongming would never have thought that Lin Zixuan would use this high-tech to deal with him.

It’s useless to have pictures, and it’s useless to have sound. Others can think this is forged.

But the combination of sound and picture is the conclusive evidence.

If Lin Zixuan was not a time traveler and had not experienced the kind of videos flying all over the sky in later generations, he would not have thought of this way.

This is probably the method of collecting evidence from the highest technology of this era, and of course it is also expensive.

Lin Zixuan let Ji Hongming vent his anger, and he knew that this was the best time to let Ji Hongming speak.

If the court did not announce the verdict, Ji Hongming would definitely be more careful and would not be deceived easily. However, the court had already announced the verdict, and Lin Zixuan admitted defeat in person. Ji Hongming gradually let go of his defense.

It was at this moment that Lin Zixuan sent a fatal blow.

The lawyer next to him didn't know what the two Chinese were arguing. He reviewed the contract and told Ji Hongming that there was no problem and that he could sign it.

Ji Hongming picked up the pen and signed the contract, and then prepared to get the money.

"The contract also requires the signature of the domestic bookstore to take effect. Once it takes effect, the money will be sent to you." Lin Zixuan said shirked.

Ji Hongming had no doubt that the other party to the contract was indeed Wanxiang Book Company.

He didn't know that the Wanxiang Bookstore was founded by Lin Zixuan. The reason why Lin Zixuan said this was because he didn't know how Douglas recorded it, and it was not the time to turn against Ji Hongming.

After Ji Hongming left, Douglas Sheila came out of the cabinet and smiled at Lin Zixuan.

There are many small film companies in New York, and the next step is to create these few minutes of films.

Three days later, local media in New York and editors of Atlantic Monthly received a letter from lawyer Peterson, claiming that they had the latest evidence to hold a press conference to prove that the court's judgment was wrong.

The reporters originally thought that the matter was over, but they didn't expect that the turmoil would be stirred up again.

Are you still finished?

If it weren't for Lin Zixuan's author of "Gone with the Wind" and the news hotspots, the reporters didn't want to pay attention to this matter at all, and there were many big things happening in the United States every day, so we can't always waste time on your little things.

However, the topic of "Gone with the Wind" has been high these days, and it has even become more and more intense.

This novel completely touched the itch of Americans, making them not vomiting, this is a phenomenal novel.

The reporters did not expect that Lin Zixuan placed the press conference in a medium-sized theater in New York, and there were people fiddling with the screening equipment. Is this going to show a movie?

This is to show the movie.

In order to show the audio movie, Lin Zixuan not only rented the theater, but also spent money to renovate the theater.

Just think it was a preview. Anyway, he wanted to make audio movies when he returned to China, and then he would still have to transform domestic theaters.

In order to compete for the copyright of "The Old Man and the Sea", he can be said to spend money like flowing water.

He made a lot of money during this trip to the United States, but he spent even more money. He bought an audio movie machine, gave Douglas a generous settlement fee, and rented a theater and transformed the theater.

He is a person who does not compromise himself, so the conditions for accommodation and meals are good, and the expenses of several people have been very high this month.

There is also the expense of treating people to dinner from New York to Boston and then to Hollywood.

Of course, let alone the attorney fees given to Peterson.

Don’t think that lawyer Peterson is very considerate of Lin Zixuan, but he will never be ruthless when he put away the money. Fighting a lawsuit is not a job of saving money.

Lin Zixuan made about 80,000 US dollars, and he had already spent almost the same amount. When he went back, he probably had to pay for the travel expenses himself.

The press conference was hosted by lawyer Peterson, who first asked reporters and editors of Atlantic Monthly to watch a video.

The video started with Ji Hongming bringing his lawyer into the room. As soon as the video was played, the reporters were startled and they heard the sound coming from the video.

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and they asked each other, in surprise.

Some journalists know that this is an audio movie, but I have never heard of such a clear voice.

Has the technology of audio film developed to this point? Why didn’t film companies shoot audio films?

This is worthwhile, this trip is big news.

Lin Zixuan didn't know that he accidentally advertised audio movies, which promoted the development of Hollywood audio movies.

Next, there is a conversation between Lin Zixuan and Ji Hongming.

The reporters couldn't understand Chinese, so they saw that the two seemed to have an argument. They didn't know what happened, and finally shook hands and saw each other again. The reporters were confused.

The video was finished soon, and lawyer Peterson came on stage and introduced the background of Lin Zixuan and Ji Hongming's meeting.

He gave reporters a buffering time, calmed them down and played the video again.

This time, Lu Xiaoman was on the side and translated the conversation between Lin Zixuan and Ji Hongming one by one.

When the reporters heard Ji Hongming say that Americans are fools, the reporters were angry.

They cannot tolerate an Oriental man treating himself as a fool, especially they just cleared Ji Hongming's name a few days ago.

When they heard Ji Hongming admit that he was indeed not the author of "The Old Man and the Sea", the reporters were shocked and happy again.

Some reporters vaguely noticed that this video was obviously not secretly filmed with Ji Hongming's consent. So can the secretly filmed video be used as evidence in court?

If the secretly filmed video can be used as evidence, citizens' privacy rights will be greatly challenged in the future.

With the popularity of audio film shooting methods, the law will face this problem. Perhaps in order to deal with this emerging method of evidence collection, legal provisions must be revised.

In short, there will be too much content to discuss in this press release, and the reporters can't wait.

After the second video was played, lawyer Peterson issued a statement that the video was not forged or deleted, and the translation was true. Any film expert or Chinese translation is welcome to verify it.

The reporters asked Peterson what lawyers would do in the future and would continue to sue?

"We hope to reach an out-of-court settlement with Mr. Ji, and of course we will not give up on the use of legal means." Lawyer Peterson responded with ease.
