Readers may not be as professional as Director Fan, but they are not fools either.
Wen Ying's readers were the first to raise questions online, saying that "The Crown of Thorns" and "Starry River with You" are too similar.
The words and phrases are different, the background is different, but the plot structure is the same.
It was like the same story, Wen Ying wrote it again in her own words, and Blue Whale wrote it again in her words.
“This is plagiarism!”
Readers expressed outrage online.
Blue Whale did not copy the original sentences and lyrics, she rewrote "Galaxy and You". This method seems very sophisticated at first glance, but it is also very arrogant.
"The Starry Sky and You" is not an unknown work. Its sales exceeded one million in just half a year after it was released. In addition to the wild readers accumulated through pirated books, there are also passers-by who only follow the drama and do not read the book. The audience of this book is too wide.
Such a popular book has been stripped of its skin, flesh and blood, and its skeleton plagiarized. Does Blue Whale think that everyone is a fool and can't see it?
Things in the world are so funny. On the one hand, Wen Ying's readers angrily accuse Blue Whale of plagiarism, while on the other hand, people continue to buy "The Crown of Thorns" out of curiosity.
Wen Ying has not yet responded to the plagiarism allegations.
Xie Qian is back.
Carrying a simple backpack, Xie Qian got off the plane.
His outstanding appearance is hard to conceal, but his wallet is not as conspicuous as his appearance. At first glance, Xie Qian is still the same Xie Qian. No one knows that he has signed the demolition compensation contract after a few days in Shanghai.
Xie Qian was already quite rich, and now he is even richer.
The demolition compensation is different from the shares of Jinhu. Xie Jinghu cannot limit it even if he wants to. He can only watch Xie Qian's wealth double in value.
Xie Jinghu was so angry that he died.
If the demolition had been confirmed earlier, Xie Jinghu would have asked Xie Qian to repay the loan for the land himself. It took so long to confirm it, and Xie Jinghu had almost paid off the loan for the land - just because of this, Xie Jinghu argued with Zou Weijun several times.
Xie Qian was afraid that his mother would suffer, but Zou Weijun had already found a clever way to deal with Xie Jinghu.
"I don't argue with him. I tell him to tell your uncle or your grandmother if he's unhappy with anything."
These two people will rush to educate Xie Jinghu, so why should Zou Weijun waste his energy?
Maybe it was because he had been suppressed for too long in the past, but now every time he saw Xie Jinghu being humiliated, Zou Weijun felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
No matter what Xie Jinghu said, it couldn't anger Zou Weijun anymore. Compared to Xie Jinghu, Zou Weijun paid more attention to Blue Whale. After the variety show aired, Zou Weijun called Blue Whale. The call went through, but Blue Whale didn't answer.
Zou Weijun sighed softly, he was really determined to go down this path till the end.
Zou Weijun couldn't persuade him, so he could only respect Blue Whale's own choice... Blue Whale had chosen this path himself, and he couldn't blame anyone else for what the future held.
When talking to his mother Zou Weijun on the phone, Xie Qian did not comment on the matter, and even did not bring it up when contacting Wen Ying, as if he did not care at all about Wen Ying being plagiarized.
After getting off the plane, Xie Qian did not go home immediately, but went to the bookstore first.
The three books, "Teenage Idol," "Starry River and You," and "Searching for Yong," were all prominently displayed in the bookstore. "Searching for Yong" was especially popular, as it had only been on the market for less than a month and with winter vacation drawing to a close. The bookstore was experiencing a surge in student book purchases, with "Searching for Yong" being the most popular.
The first print run of "Xun Yong" was 600,000 copies. The publisher hid a "treasure map" in 6 of the books, which made readers very excited. So far, no "treasure map" has been found.
Xie Qian couldn't help but smile when he heard two girls standing in front of the bookshelf discussing the authenticity of the "treasure map" and speculating what the so-called mysterious grand prize was.
In other words, a "treasure map" will definitely be discovered in these two days, but I wonder who will get the 6 lucky prizes?
My gaze shifted slightly, and next to Wen Ying's three books was "The Crown of Thorns".
Xie Qian's smile disappeared immediately.
He picked up a book at random and flipped through it while standing there.
With Xie Qian's current wealth, he could afford to buy not only a novel but even an entire bookstore, but why would he want to boost sales for Blue Whale?
Mr. Xie, who is worth hundreds of millions, is sometimes very generous and sometimes very stingy. He ignored the fatigue of the long-distance flight and finished reading "The Crown of Thorns" while standing in the store.
Xie Qian has a very good memory. He had read the novel "Starry River and You" before and was deeply impressed by many of the details described in it.
Comparing them in my mind, there is no overlap in the original text between the two books.
But "The Crown of Thorns" did plagiarize "Starry Sky and You"!
The first thing Xie Qian did after putting down the book and walking out of the bookstore was to call Zheng Zhihe.
"Did Wen Ying say when she would file the lawsuit?"
Zheng Zhihe had also been paying attention to this matter recently, and he knew what Xie Qian meant as soon as he heard it.
"Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House absolutely supports Wen Ying's lawsuit. Tianjiao also wants to protect the copyright of the series and will also support Wen Ying's lawsuit. However, Wen Ying herself is not in a hurry."
If the emperor himself is not in a hurry, what’s the point of the chief eunuch being in a hurry?
Zheng Zhihe had already anticipated how sensational this lawsuit would be. Without Xie Qian's reminder, Zheng Zhihe had already contacted Wen Ying several times, and his words and actions conveyed the same meaning: even if he didn't earn a penny in legal fees, Zheng Zhihe wanted to help Wen Ying fight this lawsuit.
Lawyer Zheng was afraid that someone would steal such a prestigious business, so he grabbed Xie Qian and started to build a friendly relationship with him.
Xie Qian interrupted him: "Wen Ying won't ask anyone else to fight this lawsuit. I can feel that she trusts you very much. The lawsuit will be filed sooner or later. Lawyer Zheng should prepare first. If there is any way I can help, please let me know."
