Chapter 143: A Phenomenal Film Is Born
Apart from movies and novels, court defense does not require any freedom to play. You must prepare carefully in advance, and of course, it also includes determining a defense strategy.
"In terms of defense, I want to focus on the principle of favorableness of the weak and the time point of signing the contract, that is, you are the person who restricts civil behavior. I will not hide it from you here, it is difficult for us to gain an advantage in other aspects. You can definitely get what you should get, and the controversial part may suffer some losses. So try to avoid losing, and even get some small advantages in the end..."
When Huo Dong heard this, he nodded secretly. Obviously, Guo Zilan was well prepared and her abilities were not bad. This was an unexpected surprise, mainly because he pointed out the principle of favorability of the weak!
In the judicial field, the principle of favorable to the weak is a very important principle. However, ordinary people basically do not understand it, and even some mediocre lawyers ignore it, but in real life, they are often used.
The most typical one is of course the "Youth Protection Law". When there is any property division, the group of people who are weak, the elderly, weak, women and children will be divided appropriately. Here, it is easy to make use of Huo Dong's identity as a minor at that time.
For example: A child stole 1,000 yuan from his parents to buy lottery tickets, and was finally sued by his parents and asked the lottery center to return the money. How should the court make a judgment?
If the evidence is not mentioned in this case, if the evidence is conclusive, the parents will basically win, and they will definitely be sentenced to return the 1,000 yuan. Because the child has no civil capacity or limited civil capacity, the contract to buy lottery tickets is not established. Of course, there are many such naughty children, so they should be beaten up! However, few people buy lottery tickets, and they are basically donated to the game company.
Let me give you another example: a child also secretly bought 1,000 yuan to buy a lottery ticket, but finally won the first prize of 5 million! The lottery center filed a lawsuit - a naughty child has no civil capacity or limited civil capacity. This contract is not true, so we will not repay the prize, so we can pay you a principal of 1,000 yuan?
Is this OK?
There is no need to know much legal knowledge at all, just a little common sense, this lawsuit will definitely not be won. The lottery center must redeem 5 million yuan for the prize! Why is this happening? Although the naughty child has no civil capacity, if it is not good, the contract will not be established; if it is beneficial and makes a claim, the contract should be established. This is a kind of protection for vulnerable groups!
Is it a bit unreasonable? But such a judgment is indeed fair. In fact, the protection of vulnerable groups such as teenagers is not a bad law, but a good law. Some clauses need to be adapted to social development and should have been revised long ago. However, that is lazy politics and bureaucracy, which is a completely different issue, so I will not extend it here.
So, because of all the negligence at that time, when signing the contract, there was only the signature of the minor Huo Dong, and not the signature of his guardian Miao Yue'e (the situation at that time was impossible, no one paid attention to it, and it was impossible for Miao Yue'e to make a special trip), so the principle of favorable to the weak immediately came into being.
Huo Dong is quite favorable at this point. It is estimated that Fengrui Pictures will have a numbness again.
By the way, the contract is really nothing small!
You said that such a pheasant crew was just a little careless when signing the contract, and couldn't even talk about negligence. In the end, it caused so many messes!
...
In fact, before the conversation, Huo Dong didn't care much about Guo Zilan's ability. He also prepared the "principle of the weak to be beneficial". If Guo Zilan really didn't expect it, he might as well give a few suggestions in person.
Since Guo Zilan can consider this himself, there is no need for Huo Dong to do anything. Then he listened to Guo Zilan's plan and found that there was no big omission in it, so he recognized Guo Zilan's plan on the spot. Of course, some small details cannot be avoided, and some things will change at any time, so he can only adapt to the situation at that time.
After making the decision, Huo Dong was also very straightforward and signed the contract on the spot. The small firm's fees were not high, with 100,000 lawyers' fees, plus the removal of domestic box office, movie channels and sponsorship fees, all profits were shared by 8% of the income.
After signing, the lawsuit was handed over to Guo Zilan in full.
Huo Dong has been quite busy recently, and his schedule is quite nervous.
Indeed, as promised, Menghui Entertainment has fewer garbage notices. However, in the next month, three new commercial performances have been added, and the appearance fee is still good, all of which are around 300,000 to 400,000. Yang Yao also negotiated two endorsements for Youth Pioneer (excluding Migratory Bird Live Broadcast, which has signed equity payments). In addition, according to the contract, Fang Weiqiang's Xiangtan Wine Industry, their first live broadcast of goods will also be broadcast soon.
Interestingly, one of the endorsements is a martial arts game. The game manufacturer is Hurricane Network’s game company. They directly use Huo Dong’s image to attract fans of "Martial Dream". They have already broken up, so there is no scruples.
Fengrui Pictures also just sold the game adaptation rights of "Martial Dream" to its affiliated company for 120 million yuan. Originally, the game was intended to be endorsed by Huo Dong and Tao Xue, but unexpectedly, one of them has reached the opponent's company and the other is waiting and watching, which makes them angry.
But then again, this is the first large income of "Martial Dream", which also boosted the entire market!
This week, "Martial Dream" had a box office of 211.2 million yuan, and with an absolute leading advantage, it continues to dominate the top spot in the weekly rankings.
On this weekend, the number of tourists traveling to Eduolun City increased by at least a dozen times, which caught the local area off guard. All hotels were filled and public places such as gymnasiums were even urgently opened, tents were set up, and tourists who were not found. This news also appeared on CCTV news program.
On Monday, the box office exploded again, although the screening rate only rose slightly - 37%. The box office on that day was 43.51 million, and it did not fall for four consecutive weeks.
Last week's banned film storm, the change of male lead, the weekend's Eduolun travel incident (Jiang Nan and Fang Yusi cried, no one remembered them now), coupled with the large number of digital copies, it fully covered third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities. There was also a good reputation for the full explosion, and the praise for the film made the film a national topic, constantly attracting new audiences, while some old audiences began to swipe two and three...
