Upon learning the truth, Feng Gong, the director of the opera association, was immediately furious.

That foreign singer was clearly trying to use this opportunity to slander Wang Yueheng and the Forbidden City.

To cover up the British Museum's past acts of robbery.

"These foreigners are going too far!"

"Knowing full well that you're going to perform on stage tonight, you deliberately chose this time to spread rumors and smear me."

"Now tonight's performance will definitely attract the attention of netizens on foreign websites."

"Go even harder to find the slightest clues and magnify your flaws!"

Bai Haisheng, a senior puppeteer who had been focused on rehearsing puppet shows, was equally furious.

You should know which stage Wang Yueheng will be on tonight.

It is also a program from CCTV, a national-level media outlet.

It was broadcast simultaneously on CCTV-3 (Variety Channel) and CCTV-11 (Opera Channel).

Now this has suddenly happened.

If the TV station leaders are afraid of taking responsibility.

It is highly likely that this will be the reason for canceling Wang Yueheng's performance slot.

After all, this time there was also a foreign-related announcement from the British Council.

Before the investigation is complete.

No one dares to guarantee that Wang Yueheng did not plagiarize.

"Let's release an announcement on the company's official website and Weibo first."

"We deny the plagiarism accusations and reserve all rights to pursue legal action!"

"Besides, since they're so afraid of their secrets being exposed in the Palace Museum's promotional video, we should definitely help them promote themselves..."

Listening to the reassurances from his elders, Wang Yueheng calmly replied.

"What's the meaning?"

"Are you going to participate in the filming of the Palace Museum's promotional video?"

Feng Gong, who was about to call the relevant department, asked in confusion.

"No, I plan to produce my own work to help the British Museum promote their 'glorious' history."

"It just so happens that Hengxue Entertainment is preparing to enter the animation industry."

"We have developed new AI video research and development technology."

"Why not use the British Museum as material?"

Wang Yueheng said with a smile.

Since the system is so powerful, I should eliminate myself completely.

And that singer named Ivic, in collaboration with the British Museum, has drawn the attention of overseas netizens to himself.

Of course, I can't just sit idly by and miss such a great opportunity to boost my popularity.

How to turn waste into treasure and turn negative public opinion into our own advantage.

That's what Wang Yueheng is thinking about and caring about more right now.

I've decided to perform "Puppet Show" on stage myself.

In addition, I wouldn't mind giving the British Museum extra publicity.

"Entering the animation industry?"

"AI video development technology?"

Bai Haisheng and the others were immediately confused by Wang Yueheng's cryptic explanation.

According to common sense.

As the person who was slandered.

Shouldn't Wang Yueheng be furious and take the initiative to seek redress from the relevant department leaders?

Why do they act like nothing's wrong?

He even cheerfully offered to help the British Empire regain its fame?

"Professor Yue Heng, are you really alright?"

"Although we don't have much influence, we can still speak out for you. We believe you have been wronged!"

"My uncle works in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; I can ask him for help!"...

Seeing this, several young puppeteers gathered around and offered words of comfort.

They all offered Wang Yueheng suggestions.

"Thank you everyone, don't worry about me, let's continue rehearsing the show."

"Seize the opportunity and strive to show your best side!"

Wang Yueheng seemed unconcerned, and instead encouraged the puppeteers.

...

Just as Wang Yueheng and the museum leaders had thought.

After news of plagiarism by Chinese celebrities broke on overseas websites.

Netizens both in Shanghai and abroad immediately began to pay attention to Wang Yueheng's movements.

Especially after learning that he would be performing a new song on CCTV's Qixi Festival opera stage tonight.

A flood of public opinion and commentary emerged.
