Many gallery representatives will attend the award ceremony of national-level competitions such as the Danqing Competition. In addition, some well-known publishers and auctioneers in the industry will also come.
These people are similar to scouts, hoping to take this opportunity to discover potential painters, so they have no doubts about his identity as the host.
"Hello, Mr. Wan, our award ceremony is coming to an end. If you have any questions, please ask later..."
"No, I have to say this now!" Manager Wan interrupted the male host and pointed at Yuan Ya, who was standing in a prominent position. "She doesn't deserve this award. Her painting was plagiarized!"
As soon as the gallery manager said this, it was like a huge rock was thrown into the calm water, and the venue was immediately in an uproar.
"What? The second place winner is plagiarized?"
"She looks like a good student, not like that kind of person."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Everyone was shocked and suspicious.
The Painting Competition has been held for 18 times, and this is the first time such a thing has happened.
"What's going on?" Wen Chenghui suddenly stood up from his seat, frowned and looked at Yuan Ya, anxious and angry.
"No, no, I didn't plagiarize." Yuan Ya's face was pale, and her fingers were blue as she clutched the trophy tightly. She defended herself incoherently, "I really didn't."
Yuan Ya didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. She was completely confused and had to deny it subconsciously.
The sudden change caught many people off guard. Even the female host was stunned. The male host had no choice but to look at the gallery manager and ask, "Sir, is there some misunderstanding here? Why don't we talk about it after the ceremony?"
"It's not a misunderstanding, she's plagiarizing," the other party said without mercy, "and she plagiarized the work of a famous painter."
Not only did he copy, but he also copied paintings by famous artists?
The onlookers were so shocked when they heard this that they couldn't close their mouths.
Not only did she plagiarize, but she also plagiarized a famous artist and used it as her own entry. Is this girl stupid or just stupid? Now that she's been exposed, it's obvious she's doomed!
"I... I didn't, I really didn't..." Yuan Ya shook her head desperately to deny it.
The gallery manager ignored her and took out a stack of photos from his briefcase. These photos were of the famous artist's painting that had not yet been released.
He held up the photo and said, "This is a work completed by Mr. Yan Geyan a while ago. He entrusted it to our gallery for sale. Because he was away for a long time, the formalities were only recently completed. I didn't expect that a counterfeit would appear before the painting was officially released."
"Is there such a thing?"
Several judges from the judging panel came over, took the photos and passed them around.
"Yes, judges," the gallery manager explained. "My staff just noticed that the runner-up's entry is identical to Mr. Yan's new work and quickly notified me. These photos were taken last year, and there are electronic archive records as proof. The copyright of the original has also been registered with the relevant authorities. You can compare the two paintings. This is 100% plagiarism. Not a single stroke has been changed. It's truly shameless."
Having said that, the gallery manager glanced coldly at Yuan Ya who was standing on the stage.
Yuan Ya shuddered all over, her eyes flickered in fear and she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"It's really exactly the same, not just a simple coincidence of subject matter."
"From the content to the structure to the artistic conception, it is completely copied."
"In addition to painting dragons, Mr. Yan is also an expert at painting pine trees. Compared to the two, this one is far inferior to hers. Look at the momentum."
Several judges looked at the two paintings carefully, shaking their heads as they looked.
