"I object! The plaintiff's lawyer is threatening the witness." Hamlin continued to object.
The old judge thought for two seconds and asked the witness himself, "Are you sure you want to overturn your previous written testimony?"
"Yes, I was not in good health at the time and I don't remember clearly."
The other party avoided the judge's sharp gaze and whispered.
"He's lying! Your Honor! He must have been threatened or bought by the senior management of Sony Columbia Records! They just changed the president!" The plaintiff’s lawyer protested angrily ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The judge knocked the hammer, "Because the witness was in court. The testimony was inconsistent with the previous testimony. I announced that the trial of this case will be postponed until the validity of the witness's testimony in court is confirmed, and the lawyers of both parties." He greeted and left.
The audience immediately became noisy, "Will you continue to drag?"
"I asked for leave!"
"A few months to wait for the next court hearing?"
The plaintiff and family members complained.
The plaintiff’s lawyer ignored them and ran after the judge.
Hamlin smiled and blinked at Song Ya, and left the seat to follow.
Half an hour later, Song Ya, Hamlin, and Hayden found a corner in the court to chat. The plaintiff’s lawyer had already settled up and walked over proudly, “If you’re good, well, it’s 1.2 million. "
The three sneered at the same time, "It's two hundred thousand now." Hamlin replied.
"one million."
"Two hundred thousand."
"Don't do this, Hamlin, you think we dare not continue to drag on." The other party sneered at Song Ya, "We will find new evidence aplus."
"I don't understand what you are talking about, I just came to have fun." Song Ya shrugged and responded with a dazed state of dancing out the original male protagonist of my life.
"Fxxk!" the other party cursed, "800,000."
"Two hundred thousand, come on, you guys have to play, until the next court, there won't even be this offer." Hamlin replied.
"Forget it, half a million, this is my bottom line."
"Two hundred fifty thousand is my bottom line." Hamlin raised the price slightly.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
"Stop playing that naive bargaining game." Hamlin held out his hand.
The other party shook hands with him helplessly, and then walked away angrily.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 473: Far from
The three of them looked at each other's back and smiled, "It's a beautiful end, almost a victory." Hamlin said.
"Yes."
Although she always put on a tough and indifferent posture, Song Ya also gradually realized the feeling of being entangled in lawsuits. There is always a worry of fear of losing that pops up in her mind from time to time, which greatly affects her mood. An a-list, it’s very troublesome to go to court. For example, people walking around in the court’s corridors now see that they are all pointing and pointing. They are not necessarily all legal elites. Many of them are specially for observers or prisoners’ families. Snakes are mixed and unsafe.
Since her relationship with Mariah Carey became a media darling again after the exposure, she had the opportunity to chat with reporters, and it was not a good choice to accept interviews with the background of the New York local court.
The opposing lawyer received a settlement of 250,000 yuan, and then divided it with the plaintiff group according to the agreement. I am afraid that he will not even be able to collect the cost of the lawsuit, but for myself, it is far more than that. One hundred and fifty thousand, excluding the expenses for going to and from the court, the working hours, attorney fees, court fees that Hamlin and his law firm earn from themselves are nearly one million, so the lawsuits are still less. Better.
"What other lawsuits do I have?" he asked.
"Your personal defendant is gone. As the plaintiff, there are mainly two copyright lawsuits against two unknown people, which are of a warning nature."
Hamlin recalled, "But there are a lot of lawsuits involving companies under your name. Audio a has several lawsuits against infringement of the synthetic sound copyright library, and a clothing lawsuit against pirated t-shirts. Barn, dts and palm have all. Patent lawsuit, defendant or accuser. Your dance shows. My life crew also has a lawsuit, but it should be a farce. A young actor didn’t get the role promised by someone, and was frustrated and sued the crew, and a dancer was rehearsing. When I fell, I also reported the crew."
"This kind of thing is very common in Hollywood." Hayden explained.
Each company has its own legal affairs, and Song Ya also knows that this is basically the daily routine of a U.S. company, and he asked it carefully, but he didn't notice any danger and then dropped his hand. No matter how energetic he was, he couldn't figure out all the inside information.
"Oh, yes, and also, Dile mentioned to me that you want to buy a music cover right." Hayden said, "Do you want him to follow up?"
"Of course, I'll go back to Chicago and talk to him myself."
The copyright of the accompaniment of mambono.5 is in the hands of the pérezprado family who has passed away. As the former'king of mambo', pérezprado's work is clearly valued by his family. They are not outsiders in the music circle, and they know the market very well. When I came to Dancing My Life’s movie plan, I thought Song Ya bought the cover rights to put it on Dancing My Life’s original soundtrack, so the asking price was increased. In addition to 6% of the composition copyright must be taken, he also asked for a lot of money. One-time cover transfer fee.
Song Ya hurried back to Chicago, and asked Dile to talk about it the first time.
"What to do? Direct infringement, send the song first and then litigate?" Dila asked: "They expect too much now."
"I don't want to do this, just keep on dragging it, no, just cut off the contact, you also assume a gesture of no longer cooperating. When the soundtrack of my life is released, don't they think I want to use the song in the soundtrack? "Song Ya made a decision.
"Dance my life soundtrack will be released until next summer, right?" Dile smiled, "They will be uncomfortable then."
"I think so too."
Song Ya replied, at this time Linda brought in the phone, "Miss Kelly."
Mariah Carey asked her mother and Aunt Susie about the exact time of the meeting. Song Ya used this excuse to return to Chicago.
Song Ya already knows her inner thoughts very clearly. She is quite willing to marry herself, and she also longs for marriage, but she didn’t say it clearly because of her arrogance. I am afraid she is already waiting for her surprise. .
"I just arrived in Chicago, and I haven't had time to tell Aunt Susie, don't worry." Song Ya smiled.
"I'm not in a hurry." She immediately cleared it away, "It's my mother who wants to meet."
"Yeah, I understand." Song Ya chatted with her, and naturally talked about her brother Morgan recommending Brenda. "If Brenda really meets the conditions, I might sing the song I wrote to her. , Put it in the soundtrack of my life movie, you have seen the scores, the ones with stepup."
"Brenda is good to me, and I want to repay her like my brother. But she will remind me of that accompaniment time. Seriously, it's not a good memory." Mariah Carey said: "You first How about Donovan?"
Diva is very sensitive in his music career. "If Brenda becomes popular, my little singer's past will be brought up by the media." She said.
Donovan will also be her agent since 1994, and has now taken over some affairs in advance.
"The quality of those songs does not threaten your status." Song Ya explained, "Well, let me ask Donovan first."
In fact, he was not in a hurry to make this call, but asked Dion Wilson to report to himself the female singer's audition.
"The female singer you want to meet the requirements."
Dion Wilson brought a lot of resumes and videos, "The template is Lossonda from the tlc combination, right?"
