Want to talk to Hua Zhongjun?
Zhang Huan has no interest in this at all.
However, he was very interested in what Hua Zhongjun wanted to talk to him.
So he asked, "Don't the courts require pre-trial mediation?"
"That's good. If he wants to talk, we can go to the court to talk."
Anyway, I had nothing to do, so Zhang Huan decided to appear in court in person this time.
After all, this is the first time in my life that I am a defendant.
On the day of mediation, Zhang Huan and Qi Chen rushed to the court early with their lawyers.
Because it was not a formal hearing, the court did not announce the hearing information to the public.
In addition, neither side publicized it to the outside world, so basically no one knew about their confrontation.
On the Hua Brothers side, Hua Zhongjun also came in person with his lawyer.
In fact, he wanted to talk to Zhang Huan somewhere else and didn't want to come to the court at all.
But Zhang Huan was only willing to talk like this, and there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, he was very unhappy from the beginning, with an angry look on his face.
Zhang Huan didn't care what his expression or mood was, he played with Qi Chen's emerald fingers without even looking at him.
Until the judge responsible for hearing their case came in and the mediation officially began.
"Plaintiff, according to the content of the complaint submitted by you, you file a claim against the defendant for breach of contract."
"According to the contract you signed, if the defendant refuses to perform or is unable to perform due to its own reasons."
"Then you should be compensated for your losses."
"But the problem now is that the defendant can perform the contract and has not refused to perform."
"So, the facts you sued are not established."
When the contract of intent was signed, Zhang Huan received a signing fee.
If he breaches the contract, he can indeed claim compensation.
But he was neither banned nor refused to perform the contract, so there was no way to claim compensation.
The judge explained the matter clearly and then said: "If the case goes to trial, you, the plaintiff, will definitely lose."
"We feel that it is better for both of you to sit down and talk calmly."
"Since there is no obstacle to cooperation, why not choose to continue cooperation, a win-win decision?"
"If you feel that you have lost the basis for cooperation, you can also choose to terminate the contract peacefully, don't you think?"
"I see that in the defense submitted by the defendant, it was indeed mentioned that he had taken the initiative to express his willingness to terminate the contract."
The judge has said everything that needs to be said, and now it depends on the opinions of both parties.
Hua Zhongjun looked gloomy and finally said, "Zhang Huan, we can continue to cooperate."
"As we said when we signed the contract of intent, we at Fahrenheit Brothers will use the best resources to create a drama."
"At the same time, we can also give you the highest salary and provide you with the best treatment."
Zhang Huan was not moved at all when he heard such a generous offer.
If it were placed before, then it would be a matter of course.
But now that he has indeed collapsed, and both parties have turned against each other, there is obviously something wrong with Hua Zhongjun's return of such a promise.
He said leisurely: "You continue."
"Please don't waste the judge's time. If you have anything to say, please finish it in one go."
Hua Zhongjun then said: "However, you must publicly apologize to us and Zhou Nuannuan."
Zhang Huan's revelations brought them great trouble, and this matter was very difficult.
Because he was worried that he would really have evidence in his hands, he was very passive in public relations.
If you can't solve the problem, you can only solve the problem.
It was Zhang Huan who broke the news. As long as Zhang Huan apologizes and says that everything was made up by him, the matter will be resolved perfectly.
But why would Zhang Huan do this?
They also knew that it was not easy to get Zhang Huan to agree, so they promised such benefits as an exchange.
But it's a pity that Zhang Huan doesn't like this so-called benefit.
"Apologise for what? I don't understand."
"If you feel that I have harmed you in any way, then you can sue me."
"You have already sued me once, are you afraid of suing me a second time?"
So, did you reject it without thinking?
Hua Zhongjun's face turned cold, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
I, a big boss in the Chinese film and television industry, humbly made peace with you, a small artist, but you actually dare not to give me face?
"Zhang Huan, you have to think clearly."
"Choosing cooperation is beneficial to both of us."
"We at Fahrenheit Brothers can also help you with movie promotion and distribution, and seek maximum benefits for your movie."
"If no one helps, it will be difficult for your crappy movie to be released, right?"
Zhang Huan's first film is already on the schedule, but because the Fahrenheit Brothers are obstructing it, there has been no cooperation with theaters yet.
They have understood this, and Hua Zhongjun also knows that they have understood this.
So, this is actually a threat.
Zhang Huan, who was threatened, looked calm and did not take it seriously. He said softly: "You continue."
Hua Zhongjun then said: "We can withdraw this case."
"Indeed, although you are now in trouble, you have not violated the contract and we cannot claim compensation from you."
"But accordingly, we can use this contract to require you to perform."
"The contract stipulates that you need to film a drama for us. It is up to us to decide what drama to film and how to film it."
The meaning is obvious.
If Zhang Huan is willing to cooperate, then make a large-scale, high-quality drama and give him the best treatment.
If he is unwilling to cooperate, then Fahrenheit Brothers can use this contract to manipulate him.
There is still a lot of room for manipulation in how to shoot this, and you can even tie him up for a long time.
If he is not willing to be manipulated, he will have no choice but to breach the contract.
In this way, the Hua Brothers can really seek compensation from him.
It can be said that Hua Zhongjun used all available means and was bound to make Zhang Huan surrender.
But he is a person who takes soft things rather than hard things.
After hearing what Hua Zhongjun said, he stood up directly.
"Judge Li, I'm sorry for wasting your time."
"Since we were unable to reach an agreement with the plaintiff, we can only regret that this mediation failed."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Hua Zhongjun and continued: "Mr. Hua, please continue to work hard."
"If my movie cannot be released, then I, Zhang Huan, will quit the entertainment industry."
"As for this contract, I really will not fulfill it, and I will not pay you a penny. Do you believe it?"
He didn't care at all about the threat of Hua Zhongjun, and even despised Hua Zhongjun's suppression.
Hua Zhongjun had a dark face, wondering where he got his confidence.
Especially for this contract, is it possible to not perform the contract without paying compensation?
Even Qi Chen was a little stunned. She was having a headache because of the existence of this contract.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan didn't take it seriously at all and was able to get rid of this troublesome situation by simply downplaying it.
Hua Zhongjun thought he was being tough and snorted, "Do you think I believe it or not?"
Zhang Huan shrugged and prepared to leave.
In the end, he just said: "Mr. Hua, I will hold a live broadcast when I go back tonight. If you have time, you can come and support me."
