With the start of the Spring Festival holiday, "The Detective" starring Ji Yunqi has been broadcast online.
As expected, another TV series that was released during the holiday season at the same time as them was "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty", with Shen Yanda as the chief screenwriter.
The male lead of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" was later chosen to be actor Wu Yimu, one of the best newcomers at last year's CTS Awards, and the female lead is still the popular actress Shi Meng.
The cooperation between the two is very fresh. In addition, the confrontation between Ji Li and Shen Yanda became known to everyone before the filming of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" started, so the popularity of the crew has been very high from the filming to the broadcast.
Ji Yunqi's "The Detective" was adapted from a popular novel and was adapted by Ji Mingyue himself. Both the casting and the plot were very authentic, and it was recognized by a large number of book fans.
You know, costume dramas have always been popular.
Both dramas spent a lot of money on promotion before they were aired, and they became very popular once they were launched. From ratings to drama fans, from Weibo topics to discussions, they almost occupied the entire winter vacation TV drama schedule.
But if we really want to compare them, "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" still ranks slightly higher, the reason is very simple -
The heroine Shi Meng is a well-known topic queen. Her team understands marketing best. They do not oppose good topics and do not resist bad topics. As long as it can help increase the popularity, they will do everything they can.
Moreover, Shen Yanda’s previous palace fighting dramas have always been of guaranteed quality, and his works have their own popularity.
On the other hand, "The Detective" has almost all newcomers. The male lead, Ji Yunqi, is actually meeting the public with a formal work for the first time.
Whether in terms of popularity or influence, he is still inferior to Shi Meng.
However, the rating trend of "The Detective" is very impressive. It started with 8.0 points and rose to 8.4 points after two weeks of broadcast.
In contrast, the score of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" dropped from 8.9 at the beginning of its broadcast to 8.6.
The two dramas have been airing for the second week, and until the day before yesterday, they have been competing with each other.
Seeing the ratings of the TV series gradually rising, Ji Yunqi and the crew of "Child Detective" were very happy, but this joy did not last long before it was broken -
The overall score of "The Detective" was maliciously low, with a large number of one-star ratings flooding the rating area.
The TV series finally rose to a score of 8.4, but it dropped back to 6.9 in just one day.
Looking at the low-scoring comments in the comment section, those who curse all claim to be "book fans".
——Haha, the beginning was good, but sure enough, things started to change wildly after the eighth episode!
——Don't watch it, don't watch it. It's another adaptation that's selling dog meat under the guise of mutton. It's exactly the same routine as "Night Traffic". This year's "Detective" novels are all terrible.
——How did the first case get changed into this! As a fan of the book I am extremely disappointed!
The first case of "The Detective" was a bit bloody. In order to pass the review, Ji Mingyue and her team made reasonable adaptations, retaining the core content to a great extent.
Judging from the comments on the official Weibo account after the drama was broadcast, true fans of the book can basically accept it, and there is no magical change at all.
Only a large number of "book fans" suddenly appeared on the rating website, and each one was more clamorous than the other.
Although these rating accounts are very real, anyone with a discerning eye in the industry can tell at a glance that -
This is a colleague who paid money to hire a group of internet trolls to secretly lower the rating of "Young and Dangerous Detective"!
There are only these two dramas competing for the ratings championship in the same period. Is it still hard to figure out who is right and who is wrong?
However, before the crew of "The Detective" could come forward to resolve the issue, the situation took an unexpected "turn".
"The Detective", which was rated 6.9 just the day before yesterday, was covered with a large number of high scores by the internet trolls overnight, and the score was approaching 9.0.
The ratings website discovered the anomaly immediately, temporarily locked the scores, and announced that it would be "filtering" and cleaning to ensure the fairness of the scores.
A marketing account noticed this and took the opportunity to post it on Weibo.
"The popular TV series "The Detective" has a new plot. After being boycotted by book fans with low ratings, it received high ratings from online trolls overnight, and was eventually deemed as fake ratings by the website!"
"This is too lame of a show. Instead of thinking about making a good show, they just want to take shortcuts. The gain is not worth the loss!"
The malicious modification was boycotted by book fans, the website was discovered by hiring internet trolls to inflate the ratings... These fabricated materials seemed to have become a foregone conclusion with the locking of the ratings.
Content from marketing accounts like these has caused uninformed netizens to denounce "Young and Dangerous".
The entertainment industry is full of keyboard warriors who follow suit and curse, and they want to get in on the fun of everything.
The leading actor was scolded, the screenwriter was scolded, and the crew was scolded. It was completely terrible.
Ji Yunqi couldn't hold it in any longer and went to the WeChat group to complain.
"I really admire him. First he deliberately paid people to pretend to be fans and gave low scores, then he deliberately hired water army machines to give high scores. Who would we offend?"
"What do you mean by a pot falling from the sky? This is it!"
In this way, ordinary netizens will not suspect the crew of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty". After all, who would spend money on their opponents for no reason?
"I'm so angry! The other crew's methods are so dirty, I really want to tear Shen Yanda and the crew's true colors on the spot!"
Both dramas are in their rising period. Now that "The Detective" has been caught up in this unfavorable public opinion storm, naturally the audience advantage has been attracted to "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty".
Ji Li listened to all of Ji Yunqi's long complaints, and then looked at Qin Li, "Chen Yanda really relies on his status in the circle to act recklessly."
Qin Li's eyes showed disgust, and he commented calmly, "Where did he get his status? He will soon lose it by his own efforts."
Ji Li raised an eyebrow in agreement.
Yuan Yifei popped up in the group, complaining one thing after another, trying to appease the angry Ji Yunqi.
Seeing this, Ji Li simply opened the address book and found a contact number that he had already obtained.
"Wait me a moment."
"good."
Qin Li responded. He took a whole box of fried prawns in front of him and slowly peeled the shrimp meat for his lover.
Ji Li dialed the phone calmly, and soon, a pleasant female voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Hello."
"Hello, Sister Mingyue, I'm Ji Li." Ji Li said straight to the point.
"Ji Li?"
Ji Mingyue on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised, but considering that she was a good friend of her younger brother, her tone was very friendly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I just heard from Yunqi about what happened to the crew. My team has some information about Shen Yanda. I wonder if Sister Mingyue needs it?"
Ji Mingyue is not only the chief screenwriter of "The Detective", but also one of the investors of the show. She is also the second sister who dotes on and protects Ji Yunqi.
The TV series is currently facing such an unfavorable situation, and for both public and private reasons, she cannot sit idly by.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Ji Li, I know you had an open fight with Shen Yanda last year. Since you have the evidence, why don't you release it yourself?"
Moreover, the open and secret struggles between the two crews may not necessarily be helpful even if they defeat the screenwriter.
What if something gets into trouble?
Faced with Ji Li's sudden "generous gift", Ji Mingyue did not rush to accept it.
"Sister Mingyue, don't worry, I treat Yunqi as a true friend and will not do anything to harm him."
Ji Li glanced at the extra shrimps in the bowl, his tone relaxed.
"The reason why we waited until now is because the timing is right. This is not only related to Shen Yanda, but also to the drama he is working on."
These materials will not only allow the "Red Detective" crew to make a beautiful comeback, but also completely kick Shen Yanda, a hypocrite who is two-faced, into the abyss.
"Actually, I have almost finished organizing the preliminary work. Can I ask my team to send it to you?"
Ji Mingyue chuckled and agreed, "If it's really like what you said, I will definitely treat you to a meal in person some other day."
Ji Li's eyes showed a glimmer, and he vowed, "Of course, I'm waiting for Sister Mingyue's meal."
Ji Li hung up the phone, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
After waiting for so long, I can finally vent my anger.
Just as he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Qin Li eating shrimp meat. Ji Li came back to his senses from the anticipation of being slapped in the face, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you allergic to shrimp? Why are you eating it?"
“…”
Qin Li was silent for a moment.
He stuffed the peeled shrimp into his lover's mouth, trying to keep his face calm and calm, "I'll help you taste it, it's quite delicious."
"Really?" Ji Li raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood something, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Baby, I was wrong."
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, the high-end box was filled with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes.
Shen Yanda's face was flushed from drinking, and he would tease the female assistant beside him from time to time.
"Come on, Mr. Shen, let me toast you again, all thanks to the plan you came up with. In just two days, you defeated our biggest rival."
Sun Changjiang raised his glass with a smile, saying that he was the chief producer of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty".
"I originally thought that Teacher Shen would only focus on writing scripts, but I didn't expect that he also has a lot of skills in marketing within the circle. He's amazing." Sun Changjiang's assistant followed suit and flattered.
Flattering words are pleasant to the ears.
Shen Yanda's eyes were filled with pride and he drank another glass of soju. "This is just the beginning. Just wait and see! Last year's drama "Young Master's Plan" was able to win the annual championship. Our drama will only be better!"
Sun Changjiang personally poured him another glass of wine, "That's great! Teacher Shen is indeed far-sighted. Mr. Fang, who invested in Tianming, was blind and actually withdrew his investment at the last minute..."
"Fortunately, Mr. Shen paid for it himself, so our crew was able to start filming smoothly."
The assistant continued, "Yes, the real-time ratings of tonight's show, 'The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty', are higher. When the final dividends are distributed, Mr. Shen will make a fortune!"
"Depend on you all, depend on you all. If I can eat meat, you guys will definitely get some." Shen Yandalang laughed twice, already imagining himself making a lot of money.
The head of the publicity team was a little worried. "However, we hired Internet trolls to secretly deal with "The Detective". Will the other party openly stand up and confront us?"
"What are you afraid of? If they really dare to oppose us openly, we will guide netizens - it is their crew that is not as good as us, so they want to cause trouble for our crew."
People in the entertainment industry have to keep some face for each other, and it doesn't matter if they quarrel with each other behind the scenes.
Openly clamoring in public? Shen Yanda believes that the crew of "The Detective" does not have this ability yet.
After all, there is not a single actor in the entire crew who can fight.
"Come on, come on, drink some wine." Shen Yanda changed the subject.
Seeing this, everyone followed his wishes.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Shen Yanda touched the female assistant's white and tender thighs from time to time.
The harassed female assistant smiled reluctantly and subconsciously moved to the side, "Teacher Shen, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled back by Shen Yanda’s shoulders.
Chen Yanda's eyes showed dissatisfaction, and he warned in a 'kind' way, "How can you be so ignorant, kid? You have just entered the workplace, so you have to adapt to the drinking culture!"
Sun Changjiang and his assistant looked at each other and pretended not to see Shen Yanda's physical harassment of the female assistant.
The female assistant's eyes were a little red, and seeing that Shen Yanda's hand was about to reach into the hem of her skirt, she finally couldn't help but stood up, "Teachers, I'm not feeling well, I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, she didn’t wait for Shen Yanda and the others to react, she grabbed her bag and ran out of the room.
Lin Jia is a recent graduate majoring in Drama, Film and Television Literature.
Since high school, she has loved watching TV shows about palace fighting, and she even regards Shen Yanda, a leader in this field, as her idol.
After graduation, she did not rush to find a job, but regarded "entering Shen Yanda's studio" as her goal.
Lin Jia devoted herself to writing for five months before she approached Shen Yanda Studio with her script, and she naturally became an intern there.
Half a month ago, Shen Yanda returned to the studio for a rare visit and promoted Lin Jia to be his work assistant.
This made Lin Jia very happy, but she didn't expect that -
Chen Yanda appears to be a decent person on the surface, but in private he is actually such a lecher!
During this period of time, the other party touched her again and again, which was simply disgusting!
If you lose your job, just lose your job!
Anyway, she couldn't stay in this place for even a second!
…
Lin Jia left very suddenly, without giving Shen Yanda any face at all.
The smile on Shen Yanda's face froze instantly, and the alcohol amplified the anger in his heart, "Young people nowadays are very arrogant! They want to get into the screenwriting circle before their wings have even grown hard enough?"
Just wait and see.
He is just a graduate, but he has plenty of ways to make it difficult for the other person to survive in the screenwriting circle.
Sun Changjiang and his assistant looked at each other, and the latter cleverly said, "Teacher Shen, I know a few sensible girls. Do you want them to come and meet you?"
"Are you sure you understand?" Shen Yanda narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of interest.
"Of course they are. They are all good girls, they just lack some money. If we tell them to go east, they will definitely not dare to go west." The assistant assured.
He was able to get to his current position thanks to these 'special' connections.
"Call them over, let's have some fun together." Shen Yanda nodded and hinted, "We need someone who is a little younger and has more tricks."
The assistant didn’t expect Shen Yanda to be so kind as to accept this. He was stunned for two or three seconds, then quickly ran outside to continue calling for help.
…
The next morning.
The two hot women put on their clothes and looked at Shen Yanda who was sleeping on the bed, showing contempt at the same time.
"It's so boring, an almost fifty-year-old cucumber."
"Not only is he old, he's also weak and young. If it weren't for the money, who would be willing to serve him?"
She was screaming in such a fake voice that she almost vomited just listening to it.
The two women complained to each other in low voices and left the room one after the other.
When Shen Yanda woke up in the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
He endured the headache from staying up late and looked at the mess on the bed sheets. The soft cries of the women in the early morning seemed to still echo in his mind.
Shen Yanda's face was filled with pride. It seemed that he was still as skilled as ever and could defeat both of them in one go.
He leaned against the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette contentedly, "These two women were smart enough to leave cleanly."
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table lit up with a WeChat call.
Shen Yanda puffed out smoke for a while, then slowly answered the phone, "Hello, Yiren, what's wrong?"
The other party was his nominal life assistant, but in fact she was his mistress.
Ever since Shen Yanda and his ex-wife Song Fangmei divorced, all the studio's external affairs have been handed over to Qian Yiren.
"Brother Da! You finally answered the phone! It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, what were you doing before?"
Shen Yanda thought of last night’s affair and did not answer directly, “What do you want from me?”
"You should hurry back to the studio! The plot of the TV series "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" has been exposed for plagiarism, and it has already become the number one trending search!"
Shen Yanda's heart skipped a beat, "What?!"
…
When Shen Yanda rushed back to the studio, all the employees were seated, and there was a hint of doubt in their eyes when they looked at him.
Assistant Qian Yiren saw him and walked over quickly in high heels, "Brother Da, you..."
Before she could utter any words of concern, she caught a glimpse of the red marks on the side of Shen Yanda's neck, and the unique smell of perfume mixed with the smell of alcohol on his clothes.
At this moment, Qian Yiren's expression turned cold.
To put it bluntly, she had relied on some tricks to get close to Chen Yanda. At this moment, how could she not guess what dirty tricks Shen Yanda had done last night?
However, in front of five or six screenwriters, Qian Yiren couldn't "get angry".
"What are you looking at! Get back to work!" Shen Yanda yelled at the employees, then walked back to his office on the second floor.
Seeing this, Qian Yiren quickly followed.
The screenwriters were yelled at for no reason and felt uncomfortable.
With all the buzz going on on the internet, how can they still have the mood to work? They are all secretly communicating using WeChat on their mobile phones.
To be honest, these people had already noticed that something was wrong with Shen Yanda!
Shen Yanda's private behavior is too bad, which is far from the "character" revealed in his previous original scripts.
However, Shen Yanda never allowed junior screenwriters like them to interfere with the script of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty". The only two senior screenwriters who had read the script had resigned half a year ago.
The news suddenly broke this morning and they had been stunned for a long time.
"I really didn't expect Teacher Shen to be like this?"
“I want to quit and leave.”
"Let's go together! I'm afraid that I'll get my feathers dirty if I stay with a boss like this."
…
The employees continued to talk, and the public opinion on the Internet did not stop at all.
The bloggers who accused "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasties" of plagiarism were not ordinary netizens, but seven online novel authors.
At nine o'clock this morning, these authors jointly issued a statement of accusation, pointing the finger directly at the 'script writer' Shen Yanda.
They cut out clips from the TV series that had already been aired and compared them one by one with the contents of the novels they had originally written.
Only sixteen episodes of the TV series were aired in total, but there were as many as fourteen similar plots of varying sizes!
Not only that, even the preview for next week released last night stinks of 'plagiarism'.
It was the Spring Festival holiday and network traffic was huge. Once this accusatory Weibo post was released, it attracted countless onlookers.
The content compiled by these authors is very detailed, allowing the audience to understand it at a glance.
Most importantly, they have evidence to prove that their novels were published before the TV series was published and the script was written.
Because it became a trending topic, the number of comments has exceeded 10,000!
——A friendly reminder from the front row: the script problem has nothing to do with the actors! Please don't take this opportunity to insult the actors!
——Teacher Shen Yanda plagiarized? No way!
——Fuck! I was disgusted early in the morning. @南朝长歌 TV series official Weibo, @沈严达, please come out and apologize!
——Shouldn’t young internet authors stop trying to ride on the popularity of the site? How could Mr. Shen Yanda plagiarize? He has written so many classic works!
——If you are trying to get attention by riding on the popularity of others, please take a look at your eyes! There are several small plots with lines that cannot be said to be similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same! Isn’t this called plagiarism?
——Two or three places can be said to have common plots and similar ideas, but fourteen places are exactly the same, which is too exaggerated!
——I’m sick of it. Ever since Shen Yanda led many screenwriters to boycott Ji Li half a year ago, I felt that he was not a good person. Now his true colors are finally revealed.
…
Because the crew and Shen Yanda have been slow to respond, netizens are becoming more and more angry. Not only are they clamoring in the comment section of Weibo, they are also using private messages on Weibo to insult them.
Shen Yanda looked at the thousands of malicious insults, and his expression became extremely ugly.
"It broke out at 9 o'clock this morning. I have contacted the publicity department of the crew. Someone must have secretly purchased the hot search and intentionally expanded the publicity."
"The crew hopes you can come forward to explain. They will cooperate with you to sue these authors who are trying to take advantage of the popularity."
Qian Yiren told all the information she had learned so far.
Shen Yanda rubbed his brows, and the panic in his heart quickly disappeared completely.
The core content of the story is his original work, and as for the side plot of "plagiarism", he will never admit it!
Anyway, netizens only become interested in TV shows for a short period of time. As long as the TV series is good, they won’t care about the plot content.
As for the little-known authors outside the 18th line? Even if a large number of people join together, they won't be able to make any waves.
“Yiren, please help me contact the navy…” Shen Yanda already had an idea in his mind.
After the statement was released later, someone was promptly found to suppress the negative reviews and control the tone, and the matter was over within two days.
Qian Yiren nodded.
Shen Yanda is her most valuable gold bag. After dealing with the public opinion, she will settle the private accounts with the other party!
Go out to find women behind her back?
If she didn't have ten designer bags, she wouldn't let this go easily.
…
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yanda posted a Weibo post:
"Ridiculous! It's completely untrue!"
"Shen is not a new screenwriter who has just entered the circle. My previous works have been loved by everyone, and I am very grateful. "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" is my new work after five years, but the core idea started as early as seven or eight years ago when I wrote "Exquisite Bone". This is my story!"
“I hope all writers can keep their feet on the ground! The popularity you gain by riding on others’ shoulders is not yours after all!”
The comment section under the Weibo post quickly gathered many opinions.
——Teacher Shen, I believe in you! "Exquisite Bones" is a work I will watch many times! I believe that a teacher who can write such a work must be a man of integrity and justice!
——Shen Yanda, plagiarism! Shen Yanda, apologize!
——It must be that colleagues wanted to bring down Teacher Shen because The Long Song of the Southern Dynasties was so popular! Don’t be fooled!
——The core point of "revenge" in "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" is very exciting, and Teacher Shen's first move is the most awesome!
——These days, people always accuse people of plagiarism, so as long as the TV series is good, that’s enough!
——You are worthy of being a great screenwriter. Even now, you can still say such words with a clear conscience?
——Is there something wrong with my three views? Just because the plagiarizing screenwriter is a big shot? So the unknown author deserves to have no human rights?
After Shen Yanda spoke out, the crew of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" also responded.
“First of all, I would like to thank all netizens for their attention to the crew of The Long Song of the Southern Dynasties. The script was personally crafted by Mr. Shen Yanda and is an absolutely original work.”
"The entire creative team of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" respects all original works and will never do anything that undermines the bottom line of the industry, such as 'plagiarism'! In addition, we will take strong legal measures against illegal rumor mongers."
Finally, the four words "illegally spreading rumors" completely defined those unknown authors.
——Okay, the official voice has spoken. There were two 'plagiarism points' in the content that was just aired last night, yet so many authors suddenly came out to accuse it this morning. It's obvious that someone is deliberately messing with the crew! Support rights protection!
——Birds of a feather flock together! The content and time of publication of those novels were true, so how could they be fake? I wish the TV series "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" will flop! Shen Yanda is disgusting!
Just when netizens from both sides were arguing, a newly registered account suddenly appeared in the hot search comment area.
@Song Fangmei: "Hello everyone, I am Shen Yanda's ex-wife Song Fangmei."
This brief self-introduction immediately made many netizens active on Weibo's hot searches smell the scent of "big melon".
