This director is vindictive.

Chapter 7: Tremble, the Knife-Stabbing Cult

At the same time, it was not only Fang Xiaoxiao who received the court summons.

The members of the Stab Cult, including Du Chun and others, have received relevant summonses one after another.

When they saw it was a criminal summons, everyone was dumbfounded.

After all, as celebrities, they are very familiar with lawyers' letters and warnings, and they know what they are, but criminal prosecution involves their blind spots.

I just know it's very serious, especially since the court can send a letter indicating that it has accepted the case.

Criminal offenses are different from civil offenses, and if things go wrong, you might end up in jail.

At one time, all the members of the Stab Cult who were filming, performing, or traveling around the country rushed back to the company to deal with the matter.

Hongjing Law Firm also attaches great importance to Chen Mo's lawsuit.

After all, they want to make this the first case of online defamation in the country.

The key point is that they are very confident in winning the lawsuit against Fang Xiaoxiao and netizen Xueyu this time, and the others are just incidental.

If successful, it will definitely attract national attention and will also be a huge publicity opportunity for their law firm.

After receiving the receipt from the court and confirming the court date, Ouyang Jing notified Chen Mo. After discussion, she released the relevant news to some entertainment media.

And the key point is, in order to ensure victory in this case, the people who help Chen Mo in this lawsuit from Hongjing Law Firm include not only Ouyang Jing, but also the firm's chief lawyer Chen Hong!
The entertainment media naturally would not miss such big news.

Soon, there were reports of "the first case of online defamation," "Fang Xiaoxiao and other celebrities facing criminal charges," and "the first defamation case in the entertainment industry!"

Topics like these directly became hot searches, and this time, the public opinion storm was even worse than the previous one.

Not only that, because it involves "online defamation", a blind spot for many people, there are a lot of people discussing it.

And soon, legal professionals also appeared to popularize the law.

This made many keyboard warriors sweat.

For a while, even the entire Internet was surprisingly quiet. After all, in the past, keyboard warriors never thought that their random comments on the Internet would be a criminal offense.

Although the case has not yet been tried, the "criminal proceedings" and "court acceptance", coupled with free legal education provided by some legal professionals, have made everyone understand that this is a very serious matter.

Maybe I’ll really have to go in!
"Fuck, this cyber defamation crime, is it real or not?"

"It should be true, right? Didn't a lawyer say that if it gets over 5,000 hits and 500 reposts, a case can be filed!"

"I've learned something! This Chen Mo is really brave! I usually only hear about lawyers issuing warnings, but I didn't expect him to directly file a criminal lawsuit. Awesome!"

"Good report! The Stab Cult is truly disgusting. And that Fang Xiaoxiao, the thief crying thief, deserves it!"

"They've deleted their Weibo posts. Can we still sue? Isn't the evidence gone? Someone knowledgeable, please come out and explain."

"Xie Yao, even if the rumor has been deleted, you can sue because the relevant illegal facts still exist. Therefore, you can protect your rights through litigation. This is also a right that belongs to the parties involved. Whether it is civil or criminal litigation, it can be filed."

"And the court has accepted the case, which means there's definitely evidence! However, the statements made by the Stab Cult don't seem to constitute defamation. We'll just have to wait for the trial."

"The Internet is not a lawless place. I can only say that Chen Mo did a great job!"

"I hope they can all be sentenced one by one. It's really disgusting. After the truth was revealed, they all pretended to have amnesia and didn't even apologize. No wonder Chen Mo took legal action directly. He is really awesome!"

"."

The people from the Stab Sect, who originally wanted to keep a low profile for a while and let the matter pass, were once again brought to the forefront.

Their Weibo accounts were completely overwhelmed.

What’s even more interesting is that a few of the more timid ones directly posted an apology.

However, this was of no use. "What were you doing this morning?"

"You're only apologizing after being sued. That's enough!"

"Are you scared to death? Hahaha! Don't forward this, I'm afraid I'll be sued!"

"Tremble, the Knife-Stabbing Cult!"

"Chen Mo is a real man, wait a minute, everyone, see you in court!"

This is why Chen Mo sued Du Chun and others anyway even though he knew that even if they sued them, it would be unlikely that they would succeed.

Because they are different from ordinary people, they are all star artists.

This wave is enough for them to eat for a long time.

Even if they are eventually acquitted, the impact cannot be eliminated.

On Chen Mo's side, his agent Zhao Ming and he also received a lot of calls at the first time, most of which were asking for mercy.

Especially Fang Xiaoxiao, she made many calls to Chen Mo and Zhao Ming. Fang Xiaoxiao cried and apologized on the phone, but Chen Mo didn't care at all.

You know, Fang Xiaoxiao's behavior can be said to have directly led to Chen Mo's career in the entertainment industry plummeting, and he was directly banned by the company.

The consequences are not serious.

You want him to withdraw the lawsuit and gain forgiveness just by shedding a few tears and saying a few words of apology. What good is that?

This incident actually did quiet down many keyboard warriors, paparazzi, entertainment reporters, etc.

At least in the short term, many reports of fabricated facts have disappeared. After all, no one wants to operate a sewing machine, right?
At the same time, the entertainment and media circles have also begun to pay attention to the judicial interpretation of "cyber defamation".

After all, in the past, many keyboard warriors would say, "If you have the guts, come over here and hit me with your internet connection!"

But now, people can really send you in by touching the Internet cable.

In fact, after this news spread, Hongjing Law Firm has received a lot of related consultations. Obviously, there are quite a few people who have been deeply harmed by it.

All major entertainment companies have warned their artists not to speak or post nonsense.

After all, the conditions for establishing the crime of online defamation are almost no threshold for high-traffic celebrities.

For example, Fang Xiaoxiao's Weibo post received six-digit clicks and over five-digit reposts, which can definitely be said to have exceeded the standard countless times.

Although the penalty for online defamation is not that high, for public figures like celebrities, if they lose the case, they will be forced to retire from the entertainment industry.

And they also have to face huge compensation, so how can they not be afraid?

How powerful is this lawsuit?

Du Chun's newly acquired endorsement was suspended because of this incident. Not only that, he was also replaced in a new drama he had just taken on.

There is no need to say more about others. Fang Xiaoxiao's newly acquired third female role in "Let's Watch Meteors Together" also fell through.

The careers of other members of the Stab-in-the-Back Cult have also been affected to a certain extent. Even though their lawyers expressed confidence in this lawsuit, it was useless.

The entertainment industry can continue to operate even without anyone, but those crews and businesses don't want to take this risk.

At the same time, the entire entertainment industry also remembered the name Chen Mo.

Of course, this is definitely not a good thing for Chen Mo.

His behavior was certainly applauded by netizens, but for others, it was obvious that Chen Mo was a big troublemaker and did not play by the rules at all! Who would dare to use him?
