Wen Ying deliberately kept the secret, and Director Fan felt like he was being scratched by a cat.
There is a segment in this episode where several writers introduce their new works. Director Fan just needs to wait patiently for a few hours and he will naturally see the content of "The Crown of Thorns".
Director Fan was speechless: "Xiao Wen, you've learned bad things from Director Yuan. You weren't like this before."
"I have always been like this. You didn't understand me well enough before."
Director Fan was not angry.
The fact that Wen Ying can joke with him means she is close to him!
Director Fan enjoyed this closeness very much.
The recording of the program began. Because the process was fixed, Wen Ying couldn't tell whether she was the main guest or not. The final effect of the program depended on the editing.
Li Mengjiao had been badly screwed by post-production editing before, and Wen Ying didn't want to follow in Li Mengjiao's footsteps... In fact, Wen Ying was mainly considering the program crew. Yuan Fenghui was not easy to deal with, and Wen Ying was not easy to mess with either. Wen Ying didn't care whether she was the main guest or not, but she couldn't be a stepping stone for others!
After the announcement of the 'Rich Writers List', Wen Ying's popularity reached a small peak. The staff of the program team were willing to give Wen Ying face and were polite to her. Wen Ying was also willing to show her affinity. Mrs. Wang was also a well-known figure in the community. For a moment, the entire studio was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
In this episode, the program team invited five writers as guests, three men and two women, the women being Wen Ying and Lan Jing.
In addition to Blue Whale, the other four writers including Wen Ying all have real best-selling books to their credit, and the three male writers have also made a lot of money. It is impossible for them to go it alone in such an occasion. Wen Ying is accompanied by Mrs. Wang, and the three male writers also have assistants.
Wen Ying was the last to become famous. The three male writers had been famous for several years and were already familiar with such occasions.
During the break in recording, they all exchanged contact information with Wen Ying.
Although Blue Whale is very beautiful, no male author took the initiative to talk to her. In fact, they were all very curious about why they would be filming a variety show with Blue Whale.
To put it more bluntly, including Wen Ying, everyone has had a single book sell over a million copies. Blue Whale is beautiful, but her book has not sold well. Why should she be able to record the show with everyone?
There is only one reason, Blue Whale has a strong background!
A male writer tentatively asked Wen Ying, "I just heard the host introduce her. She debuted by winning a writing competition. You were a judge for the writing competition, didn't you? Do you know any inside information?"
Wen Ying smiled and shook her head: "It's not good to say bad things about people behind their backs."
The male writer understood it immediately.
The male writer felt that although Wen Ying seemed to have said nothing, she actually said everything. There must be some inside story behind the fact that Blue Whale was able to record this episode!
The male writer wanted to gossip a little more, so Bao Lixin brought a stack of books with him.
The beautifully printed new book, which also exudes a faint scent of ink, is Blue Whale’s new book "Crown of Thorns".
Bao Lixin brought Blue Whale and gave books one by one to the staff, the host, and of course the guests of this episode. Director Fan had been wandering outside the studio and deliberately passed by Bao Lixin and took away a book with a whoosh.
Wen Ying deliberately kept the secret, which made Director Fan very anxious. He wanted to see what was so special about this book!
Although the three male writers had some thoughts about Blue Whale's participation in the program recording, they maintained their basic composure on the surface. They all accepted the books given by Blue Whale with a smile and gave their new books to Blue Whale in return.
When it was Wen Ying's turn, Bao Lixin deliberately emphasized, "We would like to ask Teacher Xiaoyu to give us your comments on our new book, Blue Whale!"
Bao Lixin felt that Wen Ying would be furious as soon as she watched "The Crown of Thorns" and might even lose her temper in the studio.
It would be better to get angry. Even if Wen Ying loses her composure, Bao Lixin can still make some news about it.
I have to say that after getting to know Mr. Guan, Bao Lixin, who had no bottom line to begin with, opened the door to a new world. His bottom line was lowered again. He combined the publicity of the publishing industry with the hype of the entertainment industry. He was so thick-skinned that he was invincible!
Wen Ying deliberately flipped through a few pages in front of Bao Lixin and earnestly praised Blue Whale: "Your writing is very good, you have made great progress. Leaving Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House will be a new world for you!"
Blue Whale might have felt guilty, his expression changed, and he forced a smile and said, "Xiaoyu, you left before me..."
Wen Ying admitted frankly: "Yes, we both have new developments. That's not the point. The point is that I remember you used to call me Teacher Xiaoyu?"
"puff-"
The male writer who was gossiping just now couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Of course, Blue Whale has to call him "Teacher Xiaoyu". Others call him that out of courtesy, but Blue Whale has to. Because Blue Whale debuted through an essay competition, Wen Ying was a judge in the competition and really gave Blue Whale some guidance!
Did Bao Lixin have any kindness towards Blue Whale?
Then Wen Ying can be considered as Blue Whale’s mentor!
The male writer covered his mouth after laughing and said, "Hey, I just thought of a joke. Ignore me and continue!"
How can I continue talking? Blue Whale walked away with a red face.
Bao Lixin wondered why Wen Ying didn't react. Didn't she see it?
What a pity.
Wen Ying didn't seem to be affected at all, but Blue Whale seemed to be frightened after being scolded by Wen Ying, and made frequent mistakes in the following game session.
She couldn't even cooperate well with her teammates in simple games, which made her male writer partner lose his patience.
Mrs. Wang really couldn't understand. With such low psychological quality, how could Bao Lixin dare to praise him so much?
The program had not yet been recorded, and Director Fan came in with the movie "The Crown of Thorns" he had just watched.
"Has Guan gone crazy? This book isn't exactly the same as 'Star River and You,' but the story framework is 80% to 90% similar. What do you call that? It's plagiarism!"
"Starry River and You" tells the story of the entertainment industry, from trainees to stars.
"The Crown of Thorns" tells the story of a dancing girl chasing her dreams.
The setting background is different.
The rest is just rewriting "Star River and You" in a different way... Ordinary readers may not be so sensitive, but Director Fan is different. Director Fan is a professional. Every year, Director Fan will not miss any drama broadcast by Hunan Satellite TV or popular dramas on other TV stations, and will follow them from beginning to end.
The plots of TV dramas are always the same, and all the routines have been written by someone else. Whether the same subject matter can be outstanding depends on the ability of the screenwriter.
Director Fan is so sensitive that he immediately saw through the story structure, plot conflicts, and character configuration of "The Crown of Thorns" which are all very similar to "Star River with You"!
This is plagiarism.
It's a high imitation.
Wen Ying, the original author whose work was plagiarized, wasn't angry yet, but Director Fan was furious: "I will absolutely not allow this play to be approved!"
Mrs. Wang hadn't expected Director Fan to be so self-righteous. Just as she was about to give him a thumbs-up, Director Fan leaned over and whispered, "Let Xiao Wen sue them for plagiarism. The original author is facing a lawsuit, and our station is embarrassed to invest in the film. Didn't Guan buy the copyright? He's going to lose so much money!"
