Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.

The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.

Reborn, he vowed ...

Chapter 96 Smashed a Foot

Seeing that things were going badly, those marketing accounts that accused "Blood Mist" of plagiarism wanted to back down, but it was too late.

After careful consideration and with Qin Linlin's consent, Sally put the hashtag #BloodMistPlagiarismTianyaZhichi# back up, even though those marketing accounts had paid to have it uploaded and then taken down.

However, she didn't do it as obviously as the marketing accounts; she had online trolls use comments and likes to push that hashtag back up.

To outsiders, it looks like someone did "Blood Mist" once and then wanted to do it again.

“Since Linlin says that ‘Blood Mist’ was written earlier than ‘The Ends of the Earth’, then there’s nothing to worry about. Let them make a fuss about it, the bigger the better. Then we can release the publication dates of both books together.” Sally laughed. “Since they insist that these two works are plagiarized, let time decide who plagiarized whom, and let them experience the wonderful feeling of shooting themselves in the foot.”

After seeing this trending topic, fans of the novel "Blood Mist" immediately started cursing without saying a word, insulting the author and other readers. They even threatened to take legal action if the author didn't apologize and accept the ridicule.

Passersby gathered around, expressing their disdain for this act of plagiarism.

However, as the onlookers were enjoying the gossip, they suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, something's not right. The original novel of Blood Mist was published three years earlier than The Ends of the Earth. Blood Mist finished more than a year before The Ends of the Earth started serialization. According to this timeline, even if it was plagiarism, it was The Ends of the Earth that plagiarized Blood Mist."

Faced with questions from passersby, the fans of Tianya Zhichi quickly realized something was wrong and immediately changed their story to deny plagiarism, even producing color palettes from the two books to prove their innocence.

Ironically, the color palette they presented was made by Blood Mist's fans. The color palette image had a large watermark in the middle, and the watermark in the lower right corner was so thick it looked like an heirloom. Moreover, it was all forwarded and shared by Blood Mist's fans.

First, they accused other authors of plagiarism without any evidence. Then, after discovering that other authors had posted their work earlier, they used a color palette created by the other authors to prove their innocence. This ridiculous tactic is utterly laughable. Furthermore, with the trending topic "#BloodMistPlagiarizesTianyaZhichi#" lingering, more and more people are flocking to witness the idiotic actions of the TianyaZhichi fans.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, and fearing that the plagiarism controversy would spread to them, the official Tianya Zhichi account quickly issued a statement demanding that the online marketing accounts stop spreading rumors, or they would send a lawyer's letter.

This kind of "thief crying 'stop thief'" act is truly laughable. Many passersby have taken screenshots of the trending topics to make the official Tianya Zhichi account open its eyes and see clearly who is being slandered and who is spreading rumors.

Everyone's a seasoned Weibo user, and they're not naive. Tianya Zhichi's official promotional photos were only released a short time ago, yet they've already started appearing on trending topics in various ways, all for the sake of popularity and attention.

They just felt that independent travel wasn't popular enough, so they thought of finding another way, climbing up the ranks by associating with the recently popular Blood Mist.

Who would have thought that they would not only try to climb up the ladder, but also greedily try to kick "Blood Mist" while it's in bad shape, even resorting to all sorts of dirty tricks to try to associate "Blood Mist" with the word "plagiarism," which shows their malicious intentions.

Well, now I've lost my footing and fallen flat on my face.

The official Tianya Zhichi account dared not make any more moves. After issuing this statement, they went silent and pretended to have never appeared.

News on the internet comes like a tide, wave after wave, with the previous wave leaving the beach. They are just waiting to weather this storm before finding another opportunity to spread their message.

The incident that night did not affect the filming the next day. Filming of "Blood Mist" proceeded as scheduled. After finishing filming in the morning, Rong Yu took a short rest at noon and then rushed to the boy group to practice dancing.

It's funny, there was a lot of criticism online that Rong Yu's choice of scripts would affect the GCD boy band's tour, especially from Ming Qian's fans. But Rong Yu was running back and forth between the two and still managed to keep up with the practice. On the other hand, Ming Qian, because of filming "The Ends of the Earth," often missed the training sessions here. Everyone had been practicing together for more than ten days, but Ming Qian only came for two days, and even then, she only stayed for less than two or three hours before rushing back to the set.

Everyone is busy, which is understandable. The main problem is that Mingqian's fans were so righteous in criticizing others, but in the end, it was Mingqian herself who didn't have time to participate in the team dance practice, which is a bit ridiculous.

In addition, Mingqian is not the kind of person who can learn quickly. He had no dance background at all before and relied entirely on his good looks to become famous. His successful debut was largely due to hype. He should have spent more time practicing this group dance.

But he has no time to hone his skills now, he's been too busy acting, and the gap between his movements and those of his teammates is widening. Everyone else has already practiced and can dance smoothly to the rhythm of the music, while he can only do some mechanical slow movements.

This severely slowed down the group's progress.

With the tour about to begin, Mingqian finally realized she was in a hurry and asked the crew for a few days off to come here and cram at the last minute.

However, the team was performing a group dance, which required everyone to train together. He only realized he needed to cram at the last minute, which meant that the other five people who had already practiced also had to practice with him.

However, everyone has their own company arrangements and contracts. Originally, after rehearsing the dance moves, they were supposed to go and complete their company's advertising tasks. But now, because Mingqian still can't get the moves right, they have to turn down some contracts to accompany him to continue practicing.

Of course, they can't turn down all of them. Some big-name advertising contracts are obtained by their agents after running themselves ragged. They can't turn them down just because of Mingqian.

We are all adults, we all know our own difficulties, and we know that the days ahead will only be busier. Perhaps one day we will be the ones slowing down the team's progress, so no one complained. A team needs everyone to understand and tolerate each other in order to last longer.

However, just two days before the start of the tour, someone posted a video online, which quickly caught the attention of Mingqian's fans!

That was a video of Mingqian practicing dance alone.

Logically speaking, there's nothing strange about this kind of video, but it just so happens that it was filmed at the venue where the GCD boy band was practicing their dance, and the angle of the shot shows the digital clock hanging there, displaying the time as 10 a.m.

Logically, this should have been the time for their GCD boy band to do a group dance, but the venue was so big that only Mingqian was dancing there.

Regardless of whether the dance moves are up to standard, fans can boast about their diligent practice attitude all day long.

Seeing that only Mingqian was practicing in the dance studio, the Qiansha members, in addition to praising Mingqian's diligence, couldn't help but start to openly and subtly mock the laziness and unpunctuality of the other team members.

Shallow Moonlight V: To be honest, when it comes to diligence, hard work, and ambition, my Shallow has never lost. No matter where he is, he is always the most diligent, hardworking, and hardworking one. He had no dance background or professional training before, but once he decides to do something, he will do it very seriously. That's the kind of person I love!

A Handful of Light Sand V: I'm so touched! Qian Ge is still the same Qian Ge. Whether before or after his debut, he remains the same. He doesn't become arrogant or complacent just because he debuted and formed a group, nor does he lack team spirit like some others. He is always serious, hardworking, and never gives up! I absolutely love him! How can he be so, so good!

Qianyue Mingguang V: The person upstairs really said it perfectly! Investing in Qianqianzi is definitely a good deal! By the way, I wanted to ask, the time in the video is already past 10 o'clock, are the others still asleep? I don't mean to question, I'm just a little curious, it's past 10 o'clock, and no one else has come to practice dancing, is it just Qianqianzi alone in the dance studio?

Mingyue Qian Ge V: The person upstairs has guts! Why don't you quickly delete your comment and turn off private messages to save your life? Be careful, some people's fans might take it personally and relentlessly attack you until you question your existence! [doge]

Qianyue Mingguang V replied to @Mingyue Qiange V: I didn't name names, I was just asking about the matter at hand. What, now you have an excuse for being lazy? The tour is about to start, it's the most intense time, and it's already past 10 o'clock and you're still not up to rehearse. Do you want to wait until after lunch and then take a nap before you start working?

Mingyue Qian Ge V replied to @Qianyue Mingguang V: Sigh! I don't know who started this trend of "relying on talent rather than hard work". Some people's brainless fans even advocate "genius theory" every day. It really destroys my values. We mere mortals are not worthy of such praise.

Qianyue Mingguang V replied to @Mingyue Qiange V: Hey! Be careful, some fans might take this personally. Comment deleted, private messages disabled! [doge emoji]

A user named "A Handful of Shallow Sand V" commented: "I'm a straightforward person, I don't mince words. If you don't like me, feel free to DM me, I'll see what happens! I just want to ask, we're both in the same production crew, both busy filming, so why is our Qian-ge able to keep up with the team's dance training, while some others can't? To be honest, it's a matter of whether they care or not. Some people, just because they've debuted, they've become arrogant, they think they're famous and don't need the team anymore, so they stop caring and stop practicing. Seriously, even if someone is incredibly talented and memorizes choreography quickly, they still need to practice, right? This is about respecting the team, respecting the fans. I'm starting to feel sorry for his fans now. He spoke so grandly on the third public performance stage, but it was all just empty talk."

QianqianmingyueguangV: Sisters, just mind your own business. These are all for the fans to see. I'm already looking forward to Qianqianzi's skillful movements on stage, which will make the others' dance moves look messy and slap those fans in the face!
