"Jason, if you stop now and apologize to me, I can still withdraw the lawsuit and let you save some face. Otherwise, when the truth comes out, your comic house won't be able to continue operating.”
Before the trial began, Geno Yoshio had specially sought out Yoshimori Shin to have a good talk.
Going to court was too troublesome, and Geno Yoshio knew that this case was destined to be lost.
If that was the case, the comic house would be charged with defamation. Would the company still be able to continue operating?
Although he did want to build his own business empire in Japan, he didn't want to wipe out other companies.
However, it was obvious that Ginsen Shin would not listen to this suggestion.
In his opinion, Minamoto Yoshio's reconciliation was nothing more than a struggle.
As long as he, Yoshimori Shin, defeated the Genji Group, Japan would no longer have a comics and animation industry that could compete with them.
How could he give up so easily at such an important juncture?
Therefore, Yoshimori Shin only replied with a fake smile,""I'm sorry Yixiong, I don't understand what you're saying. If there was anything to say, it was better to save it for the judge.”
With that, he walked towards the court without looking back. Yuan Yoshio looked at his departing figure and couldn't help but curse at him.
I've given you a chance. Since you don't want it, don't blame me for what happens next. Yuan Yoshio thought to himself and followed behind.
It was very quiet in the courtroom. Hundreds of the jury were already seated in their seats. The judge was at the highest point in the middle of the court, looking fair and dignified.
When Geno Yoshio arrived at the plaintiff's seat, the trial officially began.
"Defendant, what do you have to say to the plaintiff?”The judge knocked on the wooden board in his hand and asked Jason first.
"I didn't slander or slander you. What I said was the truth. The plaintiffs, Yuan Yixiong and Akitsu Saburo, took advantage of their positions to steal the original film and release it in advance to obtain high profits.”Shinobu's expression did not change as he calmly responded, even though he knew that he was lying.
"Plaintiff, do you have anything to say about the defendant's words?”The judge asked Geno Yoshio.
He took a deep breath and stared straight at Yoshimori Shin."I just want to ask, Mr. Shinobu Yoshimori, have you seriously watched the movie 'The Specter Prince'?”
What was the meaning of this? Shinobu didn't expect him to ask this. To be honest, he had never seen the Specter Prince's movie. He had only seen the original film. However, how different could the original film be from the movie?
"I have. If I haven't seen it, why should I say that you guys plagiarized? After all, even if you don't cooperate with us, you still have the ability to create your own works.”Jason said.
"Oh? Then, could you please repeat the content of the movie, Mr. Shinobu Yoshimori? This request isn't too much, right?"
Yoshino Yoshino had no idea what Minamoto Yoshio was up to, but the judge and the jury had acquiesced to his request. Even though he had never seen the movie, he had to bite the bullet and say something. Fortunately, he still had an impression of the original film he had seen before, so he cleared his throat and said,"The Specter Prince tells a story of adventure and fantasy. The female protagonist who transmigrated undid the seal on the Specter Prince, and the two of them embarked on a journey to find the treasure."
Before he could finish, Geno Yoshio laughed.
"Your Honor, did you hear that?" Yuan Yoshio asked the judge. Then, he turned around and asked the jury," What about you? Did you hear what he said?"
"Genichi Yoshio, what do you mean by this?”Seeing his attitude, Jissen was very dissatisfied. However, when he looked at the faces of the judges, which were filled with unpredictable emotions, he felt very flustered. Did he say something wrong?
"I don't have to tell you what I mean. I'll let someone else tell you for me.”Gen Yoshio rolled his eyes at him and asked,""Which juror will be kind enough to tell him what the Specter Prince was talking about?”
"Let me tell you." At this moment, the judge actually spoke up. He might even be a fan of San Lang.
"The Specter Prince is completely different from what you said. The Ghost Prince was a story that revolved around environmental protection. It was about how to better protect and utilize nature when human industrialization had extended to nature. It's completely different from what you said. From this point, I can basically conclude that you haven't seen the movie 'The Specter Prince' at all. Then how can you say that they plagiarized?”
"I'm right, I have the original!" Yoshimori Shin suddenly remembered that he had brought the undubbed clip over and hurriedly played it.
Genichi Yoshio naturally knew where he got the original film from. Thus, when he saw him take out the original film that was regarded as his trump card, Geno Yoshio only snorted coldly.
Soon, the original video finished playing. When the original film was played, Geno Yoshio still did not give up on the idea of letting him apologize, but unfortunately, Yoshimori Shin did not buy it.
"How is it, Judge? Was the original film almost exactly the same as the released movie?”After releasing the letter, Jason was still a little smug and took the initiative to ask the judge.
"Mr. Gilson Shin, forgive me for being blunt, but the video you just showed us doesn't have any similarities with the Specter Prince.”The judge rested his chin on his hand. He was not sure if it was because he was tired from knocking on the wooden plank. " In my opinion, it's almost two stories. From the setting to the character design, there's no overlap, let alone plagiarism. Can you explain why you said he plagiarized?”
When the judge asked this question, Shinobu Jisen stammered for a long time, but he could not tell the difference between the two. Even Jason himself did not expect that the Specter Prince would change so much.
"Let me tell you what happened.”Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Yuan Yoshio felt that it was time to tell everyone the whole story.
"The original film in Mr. Gilson's hand is indeed the Specter Prince's. However, this original film was used by Teacher Akitsu Saburo for his disciple to practice. The final film would not be played. It was originally planned to be a behind-the-scenes feature for the audience to see.”
"From the beginning to the end, our Genji Group has never plagiarized. I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that all of our works are original.”
"And Mr. Yoshimori Shinobu is the composer we met during the preparation period of the animation film. We saw his ability and invited him to work with us, but we didn't expect him to think of ways to destroy our Genji Group. This really makes me sad."
