This director is vindictive.

Chapter 5: Is it okay to pretend to be deaf and dumb? I will sue you

Hongjing Law Firm is considered one of the red circle firms and is ranked among the best in the country.

Chen Mo walked in quickly because he had made an appointment by phone before.

I was quickly received into the reception room.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Mo, I am Ouyang Jing, a lawyer from Hongjing Law Firm." The person in charge of receiving Chen Mo was a female lawyer in her thirties who looked smart and capable.

"Hello, Lawyer Ouyang, do you know me?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Ouyang Jing smiled professionally and said, "Of course. There's been a lot of news about Mr. Chen lately. Is Mr. Chen's visit to our law firm related to the Knife-Stabbing Cult incident?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, Lawyer Ouyang, I'd like to ask about the situation where Xueyu, the whistleblower, and the artists Fang Xiaoxiao, Du Chun, and others fabricated facts and slandered me online. What should I do if I want to hold them legally responsible?"

Ouyang Jing had obviously made preparations, and she didn't seem surprised at all when she heard Chen Mo's words. She quickly said, "First of all, the incident happened on the Internet, and most of the channels for them to spread information are through the Internet.

Moreover, I have read the relevant information about the incident. Regarding the behavior of the online user Xueyu and the artist Fang Xiaoxiao, according to the "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Defamation and Other Crimes Committed Using Information Networks" just issued by the Supreme Court, Mr. Chen can initiate a lawsuit against them in court for the crime of online defamation.

The crime of online defamation refers to the objective manifestation of intentionally fabricating and spreading fictitious facts, which is sufficient to defame the personality of others and destroy their reputation, and the circumstances are serious. The object of the infringement is the personal dignity and reputation rights of others, and the object of the infringement is a natural person.

According to the "Interpretation", if the same defamatory information is actually clicked or viewed more than 5,000 times, or forwarded more than 500 times, it constitutes the crime of online defamation.

However, because the Interpretation has only just been implemented, there are currently no cases involving cyberdefamation. However, if Mr. Chen entrusts his case to our law firm, the chances of winning are very high."

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that the interpretation of the crime of online defamation had already been released in this world.

However, he asked with some doubt: "What about Du Chun and the others from the Dagger Sect?"

Ouyang Jing pondered for a moment before saying, "Because the comments posted online by Du Chun and others didn't contain any specific defamatory content, they can certainly sue. After all, their comments do have the suspicion of defamation, but it's difficult to determine."

Chen Mo nodded and asked, "Today, these people have deleted their previous posts one after another. Can we still pursue the matter?"

Ouyang Jing smiled confidently and said, "Even if the rumor on Weibo is deleted, you can still sue because the relevant illegal facts still exist, so you can protect your rights through prosecution.

However, you need to submit an indictment and evidence materials.

By the way, did Mr. Chen take screenshots of their published content before this?

Chen Mo nodded and took out the prepared USB flash drive.

"This is a screenshot of the page I posted about their comments before they deleted it."

"That's easy, and it can save a lot of time. If Mr. Chen decides to hand this matter over to our law firm, he can just sign a power of attorney contract later." Ouyang Jing's smile grew brighter when she heard this.

"Lawyer Ouyang, what if I want to make this matter a bigger deal? For example, Lawyer Ouyang just said that there are currently no cases regarding the crime of online defamation. Then, can our case be regarded as the first case of online defamation in the country?" Chen Mo suddenly said again.

When Ouyang Jing heard Chen Mo's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She couldn't help but look at Chen Mo in surprise. She didn't expect Chen Mo to be so cruel, but could she do it?
of course can!

What Chen Mo said was absolutely correct. In fact, if this case were brought to court, it would indeed be the first case of online defamation to date.

The key point is that Chen Mo's case involves the entertainment industry, which naturally brings its own traffic.

Once the operation is successful, the influence can definitely be said to be huge.

Chen Mo quickly entrusted the case to Hongjing Law Firm. Subsequent matters were naturally handled by professionals. Unfortunately, Du Chun and the others could only be sued in passing, and the chances of success were low.

After leaving the law firm, Chen Mo continued to pay attention to the development of the matter.

Du Chun and others, the core figures in the "Stabbing Cult" incident, have chosen to play dead and have not made any response.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s the power behind them that’s at work, but it’s obvious that the topic of the “stabbing cult” incident has cooled down.

They have all been removed from the trending searches.

Preparing evidence, filing lawsuits, and court investigations all take time. Chen Mo has now been completely banned by Star Entertainment, and he is relieved.

However, there is one person who was not involved, and that is Yu Youde, the director of "Let's Watch Meteors Together".

Is there really nothing we can do about him?
Chen Mo began to search for information online while thinking.

After integrating the original owner's memories, he knew that the original owner's biggest grudge was against Yu Youde.

Moreover, Fang Xiaoxiao's sudden throwing of dirty water may not be unrelated to Yu Youde.

Suddenly Chen Mo thought of something. He picked up his phone and found a number in the address book.

The other party was Gao Li, a director from Taiwan whom Chen Mo had worked with before!
During this incident, director Gao Li also spoke well of Chen Mo on his personal Weibo, but unfortunately, he is not a particularly influential director, so the effect was not significant.

But for Chen Mo, this was also a favor, and Chen Mo had called to thank them one by one before.

Chen Mo dialed the number quickly.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, Director Gao, I'm Chen Mo. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Chen Mo? Sorry to bother you, are you okay?" Gao Li was obviously a little surprised that Chen Mo called him.

"I'm fine. Thank you Director Gao for your kind words. The thing is, there's something I'd like you to help me find out. Is it convenient?" Chen Mo said directly without beating around the bush.

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it, I will definitely help if I can." Gao Li said after a moment of hesitation.

"It's like this. I'd like to ask Director Gao to help me find out whether "Boys Over Flowers" has ever been authorized to adapt to a mainland film and television company?" Chen Mo said.

"OK, I'll ask for you!" Gao Li agreed without saying a word when he heard that Chen Mo only wanted him to do such a small favor.

Gao Li hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and just a few minutes later, he called back.

"Chen Mo, I asked my friends at CTS for you, and they don't have any adaptation authorization for "Boys Over Flowers" to any mainland film and television company. But why are you asking this? Are you interested in this?" Gao Li asked curiously.

"That's right, but I don't know how much it will cost." Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said.

"Actually, if you really want to get the authorization for the adaptation, the price shouldn't be too high. Besides, this drama has been banned in mainland China before. Plus, lawsuits for copyright infringement in film and television dramas are difficult to win. If you're really interested, I can ask for you again." Gao Li couldn't help but smile and said meaningfully.

"Thank you so much!" Chen Mo said quickly.

"No need, it's just a phone call." Gao Li said indifferently.
