Chapter 455 The Wrong Person
This was the first time Yu Minghai lost his temper in front of his executives: "Now the entire internet is saying that Yu Jewelry supports plagiarism! The stock price dropped 7% at the opening! You said you'd contact Yaoxing, but from what I hear, Yaoxing is already overwhelmed. Are we at Yu Jewelry just going to wait for death?!"
He turned to the legal director and asked, "Have you checked the author's background? Yaoxing is so useless. Have you thought of a way to settle it privately?"
The Legal Director wiped his sweat and said, "According to Yaoxing, President Sheng has already met with the other party privately."
"What's going on?"
"It seems, it seems like they parted on bad terms. And..."
Yu Minghai was furious: "And what? Why are you hesitating so much?"
The Legal Director quickly said, "We've also contacted them, but they've refused all communication. There's news that the original creator seems to be Mr. Xu from Xingli Film and Television."
"What did you say!"
Yu Chengfeng's face instantly darkened. "Boss Xu?"
"Yes, the news coming out from within Yaoxing should not be false."
"No wonder......"
He suddenly remembered something, took out his cell phone and called Yu Wei.
Unlike the two companies that were in a state of panic, the office area of Xingli Film and Television was silent.
It seemed as if what was happening online had nothing to do with them. Everyone in the office was doing their job and still working in an orderly manner.
Only in Fang Li's office was there some movement.
Wen Yang held the water cup and danced happily on the ground: "Pear, oh pear, this is so refreshing! Seeing all the comments online criticizing Yaoxing and the Yu family, I feel relieved!"
Zhou Yufan was there too, half-leaning on the sofa, holding a tablet and lazily scrolling through the comments: "Yaoxing and Yu's are definitely going to suffer a loss this time. A rough estimate puts their losses at over 100 million."
"Ah, only 100 million?"
Seeing that Wen Yang was still not satisfied, Zhou Yufan glanced at her speechlessly.
She spoke as if she had 100 million, in such a loud tone.
Wen Yang understood Zhou Yufan's meaning, curled his lips and refused to argue with him. Then he thought of something and leaned over the desk to look at Fang Li and said:
"By the way, the publishing house you asked me to contact earlier has already printed the first batch of paper copies of 'The Great Dream'. When do you plan to release it?"
"alright?"
Wen Yang nodded. "It was actually ready last week, but because of my family... because we only printed 10,000 copies for the first batch, and the publisher asked if we could print more."
Fang Li lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? Tell the publisher to print an additional 100,000 copies. As for the 10,000 we have now...how about we hold a book signing?"
"Book signing?"
Zhou Yufan, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and looked over. "Holding a book signing at this time?"
Fang Li curled her lips: "Isn't it just right to take advantage of the east wind to make good things happen?"
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
The controversy surrounding plagiarism of Yaoxing's works is raging, and the original author Maomao Xiaoli actually held a book signing event. I'm afraid nothing could make Yaoxing more painful than this.
Wen Yang felt happy just thinking about that scene, and immediately said excitedly, "I'll contact the venue right away, and try to have the book signing tomorrow!"
Fang Li laughed at her impatience.
Zhou Yufan also stood up: "This book signing event is exclusively sponsored by Xingli Films. I will handle the promotion."
"Thank you for your hard work, senior."
The two left one after the other. Fang Li looked at the message on the computer, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Yaoxing, Yu family.......
Sheng Qianrui, this time she wants to see how you can continue to confuse right and wrong!
The news that Maomao Xiaoli would hold a book signing event the next day caused a stir online as soon as it was released.
Originally, the account of Maomao Xiaoli only had a few hundred thousand followers. Although there would be readers who would be happy to buy into it, it would not be as exaggerated as it is now. I have to say that Fang Li seized the opportunity very well.
With Yaoxing and Yu leading the way, the number of people who knew about Maomao Xiaoli increased dramatically.
Fang Li also watched it today, and her backstage fans have exceeded one million.
evening.
As Xu Fangli walked out of the Xingli Film and Television Building, she was blocked by a red Ferrari that suddenly braked. Fang Li stopped and looked at it with a cold gaze.
Who did she think it was?
The car window rolled down, and Yu Wei's delicately made-up face peeked out, her sunglasses covering most of her expression.
"Chat?"
Yu Wei's voice was deliberately soft, completely different from her usual arrogant tone.
Xu Fangli glanced at her watch and raised her lips slightly: "Miss Yu, if you have anything, you can make an appointment with my assistant."
"Just five minutes."
Yu Wei took off her sunglasses, revealing noticeable dark circles under her eyes. "For the sake of... my former colleague."
Fang Li raised her eyebrows slightly, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Han Xi.
In the corner of the coffee shop, Yu Wei stirred the American coffee she hadn't even drunk, and the diamond-studded nail polish on her fingernails made a subtle sound as it tapped against the rim of the cup.
Xu Fangli glanced at the diamond ring on her ring finger and looked away indifferently.
"Fang Li......."
Yu Wei suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with pleading, "You know how important the movie Shining Star is to me, to A-Chen, and to the Shi family. Can you..."
She was straightforward, but her tactic of playing the victim was disgusting.
Xu Fangli drank her lemonade slowly and raised her eyes. "Ms. Yu, how could I know how important I am to you? Besides, you're begging me? Did you...look for the wrong person?"
Yu Wei's face froze, a dark light flashed across her eyes, and then she forced a wry smile: "I was wrong before, I apologize."
She lowered her voice and said, "As long as you withdraw the lawsuit or issue a statement saying it was a misunderstanding, I will consider whatever you want me to do!"
"Considering it?"
Xu Fangli raised her eyebrows. "It seems you don't have much sincerity."
"Whatever you want, just tell me."
Fang Li: "Now you are the one asking for help, Yu Wei. If you ask for help, you should act like one."
Yu Wei gritted her teeth, remained silent for a moment, and then pulled out a velvet box from her Hermès bag. She opened it and placed it in front of her. Inside was a diamond necklace. "This is a rare piece from Yu Jewelry, the only one in the world. This is just a meeting gift. As long as you agree, my father has promised that Yu Jewelry can cooperate sincerely with Xingli Film and Television in the future."
Xu Fangli chuckled, picked up the box and looked at it carefully for a moment. Just when Yu Wei thought there was hope, she closed the box with a "snap" and threw it back.
"Yu Wei, do you all think money can buy everything? You must have known by now that 'Unawakened from a Dream' is my work, right?"
A flicker of impatience flashed across Yu Wei's eyes, but she quickly replaced it with an earnest expression. "I know plagiarism is wrong, but it's already happened. We can double... no, triple the compensation!"
"Do you know when I wrote this work?"
