Chapter 1354 Taylor Murder Case!
After Degasva left, I spent a sleepless night. As I tossed and turned, scenes of the past surged and storms in the past. I thought of the ups and downs of the past in the past few years since we founded DreamWorks, and so many ups and downs and so many hardships. The people of DreamWorks walked hand in hand to the present, but there was such a huge hardship in front of us.
Perhaps, after climbing this mountain, we can reach the destination of victory. Perhaps as long as we persist, we can see the sunshine of hope. But now, I feel more afraid in my heart.
Every word Edgarfo said hit my heart like a hammer. He was definitely not an exaggeration.
All day the next day, I was watching TV, newspapers, and trying to understand everything about life outside. If nothing unexpected happens, the second trial should be held four days later. In a few days, this year's Harvey Awards ceremony will be held.
"Can I still go out to attend the Harvey Awards ceremony?" As I washed my face, facing the haggard face in the mirror, I asked myself.
In the next few days, the world outside I learned was very quiet. Although people's comments and media reports were still overwhelming, there was basically no major change.
On this day, when I opened the newspaper, a message made me stand up.
"The four film companies of Thunder, Warner, Columbia, and Gion Fox will cooperate." In Hollywood, the news of cooperation between film companies is very common, but this time, this news pierced my eyes like a steel needle.
Coolidge just told me that Columbia and Warner Bros. have begun to contact the Morgan consortium, but now there is news of cooperation, and there is an additional 20th Gion Fox, which is equivalent to taking time to get nearly half of Hollywood's power!
Cooperation? How could such a coincidence be so coincidental? I'm afraid these four film companies are preparing to break away from the Hollywood Film League and rebel!
I took the newspaper and walked around the room like a trapped beast. Then I rushed to the prison door and slapped hard: "Come! Come on!"
"Mr. Corleon. Do you have any instructions?" The warning was very polite.
"I've got to the lead. I have something to say." I gritted my teeth.
It was not too late. The leader came alone. Looking at this guy, I waved my hand: "Tell DreamWorks Calvin Lizhi. Let him visit the prison."
After saying this, I felt a sense of silence in my heart. I asked this way. It would be impossible to be allowed according to the previous provisions of the special court.
"Okay. I'll do it now." But the guy in front of me actually agreed happily, and his movements were very quick.
It seems that Edgarfo has greeted his men, otherwise these guys would not have cooperated so much.
After making a request, what I had to do next was naturally to wait for Calvin Lizhi to appear in front of me.
Two hours later, a prison guard stood in front of my room and slammed the door.
"I'm afraid that this bitch will break the door. Are the prison guards so full of limbs?" I muttered and stood in front of the door.
I heard a raucous sound of iron chains outside, as if it was a lock-opening sound, and then a figure swayed in.
"I asked you to do business, why are you swaying in?" I shook my head and was about to scold the prison guard, but it was revealed that the guy was about to collapse in laughter.
As soon as he looked up, Coolidge's old face was right in front of him.
"Why are you?" I was stunned.
"Why can't it be me? If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be able to come in. Tell me, was it because of the Hollywood thing?" It's worthy of being in my stomach: the bug, the bitch-raising Coolidge was able to guess my thoughts at once.
"What the hell is going on? Why did Givex get involved in 20? Did the bastard Besselv raise his head and get squeezed by the door?!" I said angrily.
For Besif, I have always been assured that this guy is a loyal person. If I can still accept Sam Warner's rebellion, I would never have imagined that he would take this step.
"Andre, let me tell you, it was not Besif's head that was pinched by the door, but Fox's bastard pressed his head and pulled it over to pinch it.
"When talking about this, Coolidge's original smile disappeared.
"So, is it true that these four film companies are in a collusion?" My heart started to beat violently.
"It's basically true. Columbia was first attracted, then Carey Rockefeller was recruited, and Samner surrendered. As for the 20th Fox Company, Besif is the center of ours, but Fox's bitch has never broken off contact with Albenclair. He naturally hopes to join the big tree of the Morgan Consortium. Besif is now a grasshopper on the same rope. For the sake of the company's goodness, he has to agree."
"These four companies have basically joined forces now. I heard that the Morgan consortium will soon provide a lot of financial support, and the benefits will be a lot. In the next step, it is estimated that their alliance will continue to penetrate other Hollywood film companies and then start a counterattack against us."
"Andre, these are not what I'm worried about yet, I'm worried about this time if they get the non-US commission of inquiry and
If the film industry cooperates, it will definitely be in trouble. Hollywood studios, such as Paramount and MGM, will probably suffer an unprecedented blow, and in the end, our DreamWorks will be an exception."
When Coolidge said these words, his face was blue and white, mottled and very beautiful.
"Calvin, this is not what I am worried about." I shook my head in his tone.
"Are you worried that other consortiums will take the opportunity to rush forward?" Coolidge sneered.
"What, Edgarfo has vented you?" I asked with a smile.
"He just won't tell me, I'll consider this issue." Coolidge sighed, then nodded and said, "The current situation is very unfavorable for us. If it is over quickly, I think basically those guys on Wall Street will not make any moves, but if the time goes on, if we are exhausted, if Hollywood is terrible, if those guys think that we are almost over, they will take action. At that time, our Lockettrek consortium cannot hold up the pack of wolves and there is no chance or possibility to turn over."
"Then what do you plan to do now," I asked.
Coolidge was silent. Such a problem was obviously a very difficult problem.
"My thoughts are different from you and Edgar Ferret. In the eyes of both of you, Roosevelt is a two-pronged approach this time, and he has to work on you and the Lockettke consortium at the same time. You and Edgar Hoover both think that both of these aspects should be taken care of, and the words are good, but I think our focus now should be on taking you out." Coolidge gave me a different answer.
"What do you mean?" I did it across from him.
Coolidge spread his hands and said, "The truth is actually very simple. Without DreamWorks, we can create a second one at any time, but without you, everything will lose its meaning. You have seen the wealth and reputation accumulated by the Rockefick Consortium, but you have not seen your reputation and your personal image is so important to us."
"In addition, you think so, and Roosevelt thinks so too. I think that the Lockettrek consortium can solve the problem, but he seems to have ignored it. If we win in your matter in the end, then the people will absolutely not tolerate him. At that time, he may face the fate of stepping down. If he stepping down, the Democratic Party will face the fate of overturning, and everything will disappear by then. So, the key task at present is you."
Coolidge's call made me speechless.
"But don't worry, we will also take some measures in this regard. On this issue, I have summoned the bosses of other film companies. In addition, Grant and Hayes also said hello. After this big wave, the remaining film companies are firmly supported. As long as we hold on tight, Hollywood should have no problems in film competition. As for the non-US investigation committee, we can only take the method of being unable to afford to avoid being hiding, and try not to use those controversial people. Anyway, our current principle is: be a person with a tail between your tail, as long as we can persevere until the day you come back, we will be able to win the final victory."
I have to say that Coolidge's words finally convinced me. I am completely relieved to do this guy.
Next, Coolidge and I were talking about the case. As my master defense attorney, this guy knew all the pros and cons.
"Now we basically tied. For both sides, now is the most critical time. Whoever can find evidence to overthrow the other party first can go down in one go." Coolidge waved his hand vigorously, very excited, and soon changed into a worried expression: "But any strong evidence is not that easy to find. It would be great if we could find Pang Mao's last diary. I can basically confirm that Pang Mao's death is related to Roosevelt and the others, but there is no definite evidence. I think Pang Mao will definitely record these things in his diary. You forgot, Eli once said that on the night when Pang Mao died, he first quarreled in the study for a long time. If I guessed it well, that person must be the person he knew, and it was from Roosevelt. According to Pang Mao's temper, he would definitely write down such things in his diary. If he found this person, everything would be easy."
I naturally understand what Coolidge said, but in recent years, all parties have never given up looking for Pang Mao’s last diary, but they have not yet gained nothing. Now I want to find it in a short time, how can it be possible?
"Andre, I think Roosevelt's group may have more evidence than ours. If this was done by them, then it would be very easy for them to know all the detailed plots and fabricate the evidence." Coolidge said worriedly.
"I won't ask about this, just try my best. I have never done bad things. Pang Mao was not killed by me. I have a clear conscience and God will also favor me." I gritted my teeth.
Four days passed quickly. When the first snow fell on Los Angeles, my second trial finally came.
On this day, I got up early, after washing up, I changed into a brand new suit, held my head high and walked out of the prison door.
There was nothing to say along the way, and when we arrived at the court, everything was ready.
Those people are still the same scene, if it is different,
The atmosphere is here.
I don't know why, when I was taken in, I felt that the court seemed much weirder.
"Everyone, there may be some changes in the schedule today. These changes are because the Los Angeles Court has some new appearances when collecting evidence. Although these new appearances seem to have nothing to do with this case, they involve the two most important people in this case." A sentence from Chief Antonio Connor made everyone stand up.
What does it mean? Is today's trial going to change? This is big news.
The reporters were in a mess all of a sudden, and I opened my eyes wide. No, was there any breakthrough progress? No, what Anthony Conner said just now, but the Los Angeles court collected new evidence. Since it was collected by them, it would definitely not be good for me.
"The Los Angeles Court proposed to hear another case today, which involves two people in this case." Antonio Connor flipped the thick file in his hand.
The court was silent, and people were waiting for the old man to reply.
"The people involved in this case are Benjamin and Andre Corleon." Antonio Connor raised his head, looked at everyone, and said word by word: "With the court's consent, we will try the Taylor murder case today."
Wow!
There was a chaos in the court!
"What kind of homicide case!"
"Taylor?! Who is Taylor?? Why did there be another murder case!"
"Are you wrong? You won't just find a murder case and frame Mr. Corleone!?"
"What a mess! It must be a false accusation!"
...
There are all things in the court, some are cursing, some are argued, some are qualitative...
More people are confused because they don’t know who Taylor is.
But my heart suddenly bleed. At first, I was wondering who Taylor was, but when I saw my second brother not far away watching me open his eyes, I suddenly remembered the incident a few years ago.
It's been a long time since that incident, and I'm about to forget it, but now it's brought up, and it's like a thunderbolt on such occasions.
Taylor, when we just established a DreamWorks, a person who had to solve the problem when we were studying audio movies. At that time, we had no other choice. He had the technology of audio movies and did not want to cooperate with us at all. If we did not cooperate, history would repeat itself according to the original trajectory, and Hollywood would become a money-making machine like history. This is what we don’t want to see, so we had that action, an action I gave to my second brother.
It’s been so long, and I remembered that my second brother was doing this at that time, so he might be brought up now?
I even had my own ears. But the judge and Joseph: The words echoed in my ears, telling me that this is true.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a few years ago, when Hollywood audio movies were not born, there was a company. This company did not produce movies, they studied film technology and equipment. The boss was this person, nicknamed Tiger Taylor." Joseph: Someone released the projection, and Taylor's photo appeared in public, and it was the old man.
"Taylor's company, at that time, mastered the core technology of audio films. In 1925, Taylor died suddenly in the hospital, and then his company was taken over by DreamWorks. Then, you all know the matter. DreamWorks launched audio films and began its journey in Hollywood."
Joseph said so much in one breath, and a smug smile suddenly appeared on his face.
This smile was obviously a bit malicious.
"But what does this have to do with the murder?!" someone shouted.
"It's related! Of course it's related!" Joseph nodded and said, "Because before that, someone found Taylor and asked to acquire Taylor's company to take over the research of audio movies, but Taylor refused harshly. After knowing that it was impossible to acquire, they sent someone to murder Taylor. Taylor's death in the hospital seemed to be a natural death, but in fact it was a poison that was very difficult to detect.
”
"Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to say now is that the person who sent people to kill is here now, and he is Andrey Lyon! As for the murderer, he is no longer here, but you all know his name, and that is Benjamin!"
"God!"
"impossible!"
The court suddenly became a mess!
Yesterday, a master asked me, how many days will I have left in this month, and will I finish writing it?
It's a headache. There are still six days left. If Xiao Zhang wants to be hasty, it's basically fine. But those who are familiar with me know that I'm not a hasty person and have to write honestly according to the outline.
But by the beginning of next month, I will definitely finish the book. Haha, then, everyone will have to support my new book. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, there are more chapters, support & book &!)
Chapter completed!
