Chapter 099
With the opening of the Spring Festival holiday, ‘The Detective’ starring Ji Yunqi has been broadcasted online.
As expected, the other TV series that started the holiday season at the same time as them was the ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ by Shen Yanda as the chief screenwriter.
The male protagonist of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ later chose the actor Wu Yimu, who was one of the best newcomers at the Huaxia Television Awards last year, and the female protagonist is still popular, Shi Meng.
The collaboration between the two is very fresh, and before the filming of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’, the confrontational remarks between Ji Li and Shen Yanda were known to everyone, so from filming to the beginning of the broadcast, the crew has always been very popular.
And Ji Yunqi's ‘The Detective’ is adapted from a popular novel and adapted by Ji Yueming herself. Both the casting and the plot itself are restored, and it has been recognized by a large number of book fans.
Costume dramas have always been popular.
Both dramas spent crazy money to build momentum before they aired. Once they were launched, they ‘played’ enthusiastically. From ratings to fans, from Weibo topics to discussions, they almost occupied the entire winter vacation TV drama archives.
However, if you really want to compare one or two, ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ is still at a higher position. The reason is very simple.
The female protagonist Shi Meng is the queen of popular topics. Her team knows how to market. Good topics are not opposed, and bad topics are not resisted. As long as they can help increase the popularity of the artist, they will do everything.
Moreover, Shen Yanda's previous Gong Dou dramas have always been quality assurance, and his works have their own passers-by.
On the other side, almost all the newcomers of ‘The Detective’, as the male lead, Ji Yunqi, is actually the first time to meet the public with a formal work.
In terms of popularity or influence, he is still no match for Shi Meng.
However, the scoring trend of ‘The Detective’ is very strong, starting with 8.0 points, and after two weeks of broadcasting, it rose to 8.4 points.
On the other hand, the score of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ dropped from 8.9 at the beginning of the broadcast to 8.6.
The two dramas have been broadcast until the second week, and as of the day before yesterday, they have been competing with each other.
Seeing the TV series' ratings gradually soaring, Ji Yunqi and the crew of ‘The Detective’ were very happy, but the joy lasted not long before it was broken.
The overall score of ‘The Detective’ was maliciously scored lower, and a large number of one-stars flooded the scoring area.
The TV series finally rose to a score of 8.4, and fell back to a score of 6.9 in just one day.
Looking at the low-scoring comments in the comment area, those who scolded themselves all called themselves ‘book fans’.
[ Haha, the beginning is good, and sure enough, after the eighth episode, crazy big changes began! ]
[ Don’t read it, it’s another adaptation of a play that sells dog meat. It's almost the same routine as ‘Detective Night Walk’. This year's ‘detective’ novels are very miserable. ]
[ How did the first case be changed like this! Disappointed as a book fan! ]
The first case of ‘The Detective’ was a bit bloody. In order to pass the trial, Ji Yueming and her team made a reasonable adaptation, retaining the core content to a great extent.
Judging from the official blog comments after the drama blog, the real book fans found it basically acceptable, and there is no big change at all.
Only the rating network suddenly appeared a large number of ‘book fans’, one clamoring after another.
Although these scored accounts are real, the discerning people in the circle can know at a glance.
This is a colleague who spent money to hire a water army, and secretly lowered the score of ‘The Detective’!
There are only two dramas that can compete for the awards in the same period. Can you figure out who is right and who is wrong?
However, without waiting for the crew of ‘The Detective’ to come forward to resolve the situation, there was an unexpected 'reversal' of the situation.
The ‘The Detective’, which was scored 6.9 points the day before yesterday, was covered by a large number of high scores from the water army, and the straight line approached 9.0 points.
The scoring website found the first-time anomaly, temporarily locked the score, and announced that it would be ‘filtered’ to ensure the fairness of the score.
A marketing account noticed this and posted it on Weibo waiting for an opportunity.
[ The hit TV series ‘The Detective’ has a big plot change. After being resisted by book fans with low scores, the scores immediately reversed in a 9.0 overnight! The scoring website found an anomaly and froze the scoring! ]
[ The production of the crew is too lame. They don't want to make a good show, but just think about opportunistic tricks. The gain is not worth the loss! ]
The malicious changes were resisted by book fans, and the buying of water army brush points was discovered by the website... These imaginary knitting materials seemed to be broken into solid hammers with the locks.
The content of marketing accounts like this has caused unknowing netizens to fall into condemnation of ‘The Detective’.
In this entertainment circle, there is no shortage of keyboard army who follow the trend and have to join in the excitement in everything.
The lead actor was scolded, the screenwriter was scolded, and the crew was scolded.
Ji Yunqi couldn't help it anymore, and ran to the WeChat group to make complaints.
[ He's really playing us. First, they deliberately spent money to find someone to pretend to be fans to score low scores, and then deliberately hire a navy machine to score high scores. Who should we provoke? ]
[ What is ‘Guo Cong Tian’? This is it! ]
In this way, ordinary netizens will not doubt the crew of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’, after all, who would spend money on opponents for no reason?
[ I'm so angry! The opposing crew's methods are so nasty, I really want to tear off Shen Yanda and the crew's true colors on the spot! ]
Both dramas are in a rising period, and now ‘The Detective’ has fallen into this kind of unfavorable public opinion storm, and the natural audience advantage has been attracted by the ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’.
Ji Li listened to all Ji Yunqi's long complaining voicemail, and then looked at Qin Yue, "Shen Yanda really relied on his position in the circle to act recklessly."
Qin Yue looked disgusted and commented in a low voice, "Where did he get his status? Soon, he will be tossed away."
Ji Li agreed and raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Yifei bubbled in the group, spitting out insults one after another, trying to coax the angry Ji Yunqi.
Seeing this, Ji Li simply opened the address book and found a piece of contact information that he had obtained a long time ago.
"Wait for me."
"It is good."
Qin Yue responded, he brought a whole box of fried prawns in front of him, and slowly peeled the prawns to his lover.
Ji Li dialed the phone calmly, and soon a pleasant female voice rang from the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Sister Yueming, hello, this is Ji Li." Ji Li said straightforwardly.
"Ji Li?"
Ji Yueming on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised, but in the face of her younger brother's friend, her tone was very friendly, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"
"I just heard about what happened to the crew from Yun Qi. My team has some black materials against Shen Yanda. I don't know if Sister Yueming needs it?"
Ji Yueming is not only the chief screenwriter of ‘The Detective’, she is also one of the investors of this drama, and she is the second sister who pampers and protects Ji Yunqi.
At present, the TV series has encountered such unfavorable situation, and it is impossible for her to ignore it in public or private.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Ji Li, I know that you had a face-to-face battle with Shen Yanda last year. Since you have the material in your hands, why don't you release it yourself?"
In addition, the fight between the two crews is not necessarily useful to break the screenwriter.
What if you get into trouble after accepting such offer?
When Ji Yueming faced Ji Li's sudden generosy, but she did not rush to agree.
"Sister Yueming, don't worry, I treat Yun Qi as a true friend and will not do anything to harm him."
Ji Li glanced at the extra shrimp in the bowl, with a calm tone.
"The reason why I have waited until now is because the timing is right. This is not only related to Shen Yanda, but also to the drama in his hands."
These materials will not only allow the crew of the ‘The Detective’ to have a beautiful turnaround, but they can also kick Shen Yanda, a hypocrite of inconsistency, into the abyss.
"Actually, I sorted it out in the early stage. I asked my team to send it to you?"
Ji Yueming chuckled and responded, "If it's really like you said, Sister will definitely invite you to dinner another day."
A faint light appeared in Ji Li's eyes, vowing, "Of course, I'll be waiting for Sister Mingyue's treat."
When Ji Li hung up the phone, a glimmer of expectation appeared in his eyes.
After waiting for so long, he can finally put that scum in his place.
As he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Qin Yue eating shrimp. Ji Li recovered from the anticipation of slapping Shen Yanda's face, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you allergic to shrimp? How can you still eat it?"
"..."
Qin Yue was silent for a moment.
He stuffed the peeled shrimp into his lover's mouth, trying to keep his face and heartbeat, "I'll help you taste it. It's delicious."
"Really?" Ji Li raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood something, not telling it through.
"Baby, I was wrong."
─────────────────────
At nine o'clock in the evening, in the high-end box, the smell of alcohol and smoke is intertwined.
Shen Yanda drank red and teased the female assistant beside him from time to time.
"Come on, Teacher Shen, I will toast you again, thanks to the strategy you have come up with. In just two days, we will be our own biggest opponent."
Sun Changjiang smiled and raised his glass to indicate that he was the chief producer of the ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’.
"I thought that Mr. Shen would only focus on writing scripts, but I didn't expect that he would also be good at playing in circle marketing, which is amazing." Sun Changjiang's assistant followed to praise.
The flattering words are heard, how comfortable it is for Shen Yanda's to listen.
Shen Yanda's eyes showed arrogant complacency, and another glass of alcohol, "What do you mean? You wait and see! Last year's ‘Schemes of the Great Zong Dynasty Youth’ will be forgotten as our own ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ will win the crown. It is good!"
Sun Changjiang personally poured him a glass of wine again, "That's good! Teacher Shen really have a long-term vision. At the beginning, Tianming Investment's Fang Zong was blind and unexpectedly withdrew..."
"Fortunately, Mr. Shen took the money by himself, so that our crew can start filming smoothly."
The assistant continued to applaud, "Yes, our ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ is a bit higher in the real-time ratings broadcast tonight. After the final dividend, Mr. Shen will be able to make a lot of money!"
"I will treat everyone to eat meat by then!” Shen Yanda laughed twice, already dreaming of making a big profit.
The leader of the publicity and distribution group was a little worried, "However, we bought the water army to deal with the ‘The Detective’ secretly, will the other try to counterattack?"
"What are you afraid of? If they dare to confront us on the bright side, we will guide the netizens—their crew is not as good as us, and they just want to make trouble for our crew."
The entertainment industry has to leave a little thin face to each other, it doesn't matter if you tear it off in private.
Openly tearing off face? Shen Yanda believes that the crew of ‘The Detective’ does not have this capability.
After all, no actor in the entire group can play.
"Come here, drink, drink." Shen Yanda shifted the subject.
Seeing this, everyone followed his wishes.
Shen Yanda touched the white and tender thighs of the female assistant with a moment of drunkenness.
The harassed female assistant smiled reluctantly, and moved to the side subconsciously, "Mr. Shen, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yanda dragged her shoulders back.
Shen Yanda's eyes showed dissatisfaction, and he warned ‘kindly’, “How can you be so ignorant, child? Just after entering the workplace, you have to adapt to the wine table culture!"
Sun Changjiang and his assistant looked at each other, pretending not to see Shen Yanda's physical harassment of the female assistant.
The female assistant's eyes were a little red. Seeing that Shen Yanda's hand was about to poke into the skirt, she finally stood up, "Teachers, I'm not feeling well, I'll leave first!"
After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Shen Yanda and others' reaction, grabbing the bag and ran out of the room.
Lin Jia is a recent graduate of Drama, Film and Television Literature.
From high school, she liked watching TV themes about Gong Dou, and regarded Shen Yanda, a leader in this field, as her object of worship.
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 bringing her own scripts to Shen Yanda's studio. In this way, she naturally became an intern inside.
Half a month ago, Shen Yanda had a rare visit to the studio and made Lin Jia his work assistant.
This makes Lin Jia happy, but she just didn't expect things to happen.
Shen Yanda is a gentleman in public, and he is such a perverted bastard in private!
During this period of time, the other party repeatedly harassed her, which was simply disgusting!
She doesn't care if she ends up losing her job!
Anyway, she couldn't stay in this place for another second!
─────────────────────
Lin Jia walked away suddenly and didn't give Shen Yanda any face at all.
The smile on Shen Yanda's face instantly solidified, and the drunkenness magnified the anger in his heart, "Young people these days are so proud now! Your wing is not even hard yet, and you want to be in the screenwriter circle?"
Just wait and see.
For a mere graduate, he has a way to keep the other party out of the screenwriting circle.
Sun Changjiang and his assistant looked at each other, and the latter cleverly said in a circle, "Mr. Shen, I know a few sensible girls, do you want them to see you?"
"Are you sure they are sensible?" Shen Yanda squinted his eyes and raised a hint of interest.
"Of course, they are all good girls, but they lack some money. We let them go east, they will definitely not dare to go west." The assistant assured.
He can get to the position he is today, relying on these ‘special’ connections in his hands.
"Call then, let's have fun together." Shen Yanda nodded and hinted, "It's better if they're tender and more sophisticated."
The assistant didn't expect that Shen Yanda was okay with this. After two or three seconds, he hurriedly ran outside and continued to call someone.
─────────────────────
Early the next morning.
Two hot-bodied women packed their clothes, they looked at Shen Yanda who was sleeping on the bed, unanimously showing contempt.
"It's boring, old cucumber who is almost fifty years old."
"It's not only old, but also small. If it's not for money, who would be willing to serve him?"
She screamed pretendingly, and she almost vomited when she heard it.
The two women murmured a few words, and left the room one after another.
When Shen Yanda woke up in the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
He endured the headache of staying drunk and looked at the mess on the bed sheet, his mind seemed to reverberate with the soft cry of the women in the early morning.
Shen Yanda's face was full of complacency. It seemed that his treasured sword was not old, and he was able to pack both of them in a single performance.
He leaned on the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette contentedly, "These two women are familiar enough to walk clean."
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the bedside table lit up the WeChat call.
Shen Yanda smoked a lot of fog, and slowly put on the phone, "Hey, Yiren, what's the matter?"
The other party is his nominal life assistant, but is actually his mistress.
Since Shen Yanda and his ex-wife Song Fangmei divorced, Qian Yiren took over all the chores in the studio.
"Da Ge! You finally answered the phone! It's two o'clock in the afternoon. What did you do before?"
Shen Yanda thought of the romantic affair last night, but did not answer directly, "Why are you at me looking for?"
"Hurry up and go back to the studio! There are news about the plot of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ being plagiarized, and it has risen to the top search list for a while!"
Shen Yanda chuckled inwardly, "What?!"
─────────────────────
When Shen Yanda hurried back to the studio, all the employees were seated, and there was a trace of doubt in their eyes when they looked at him.
Assistant Qian Yiren saw his figure, stepped on high heels and quickly walked closer, "Da Ge, you..."
Before she could say her words of concern, she caught a glimpse of the red mark on the side of Shen Yanda's neck and the unique perfume smell mixed in the wine of his clothes.
At this moment, Qian Yiren's expression went cold.
To put it bluntly, she was relying on some means when she approached Shen Yanda. At this moment, how could she not guess what Shen Yanda had done last night?
However, in the presence of five or six screenwriters, Qian Yiren could not just say anything.
"What are you looking at? Get to work!" Shen Yanda shouted at the employees before walking back to his second floor office.
Seeing this, Qian Yiren quickly followed.
The screenwriters and employees were yelled for some reason, and felt a little uncomfortable.
There is a lot of noise on the internet, where are they still in the mood to work? They are all secretly communicating with their mobile phone WeChat.
To be honest, these people have long noticed something is wrong with Shen Yanda!
Shen Yanda's personal behavior is too bad, and it is far from the ‘bone of character’ revealed in his previous original scripts.
It's just that Shen Yanda's ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ script never allowed them, the little screenwriters to intervene. The only senior screenwriter who had read the script had resigned six months ago.
The news broke out this morning, and they have been stunned for a long time.
"I really didn't expect Teacher Shen to be like this?"
"I want to resign and leave."
"Let's go together! Staying with this kind of boss, I'm afraid I will dirty my own feathers."
─────────────────────
The staff's discussions continued, and the public opinion on the internet did not stop in the slightest.
The blogger that accused the plot of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ of plagiarism is not an ordinary netizen, but the author of seven online novels.
At nine o'clock this morning, these authors jointly issued a statement of indictment, pointing the arrow directly at Screenwriter Shen Yanda.
They cut off the episodes that have been broadcast in the TV series, and compared them with the content of the novels they had previously written.
A total of only 16 episodes of TV series have been broadcast, and there are as many as fourteen episodes of similar content!
Not only that, but even the next week's preview released last night has the stench of ‘plagiarism’.
During the Spring Festival holiday, internet traffic was very large. Once this complaint was sent out on Weibo, it attracted countless people eating melons.
The content compiled by these authors is very detailed, so that the audience can see it at a glance.
The most important thing is that they have evidence to prove that their novel predates the publication of the TV series and the creation of the script.
Because of the hot search, the number of comments at this moment has exceeded 10,000!
[ A warm reminder from the front row, the script problem has nothing to do with the actors! Please don't take the opportunity to abuse the actors! ]
[ Teacher Shen Yanda plagiarized? No way! ]
[ Fuck! I was disgusted by @Long Song of the Southern Dynasties Official Weibo and @Shen Yanda early in the morning, get out and apologize! ]
[ Don't let the little internet author get too hot, right? How could Teacher Shen Yanda plagiarize? He has written so many classic works! ]
[ Speaking of the trouble with the heat, look at your eyes! There are a few small plot lines, you can't say that they are similar, you can only say that they are exactly the same! Isn't this called plagiarism? ]
[ Two or three places can be said to have similar plots and similar ideas, but there are 14 places that are exactly the same, which is too exaggerated! ]
[ I vomit. Since Shen Yanda led many screenwriters to boycott Ji Li six months ago, I think he is not a good bird, and now he is finally exposed. ]
Because the crew and Shen Yanda did not respond for a long time, the netizens became more and more angry. They not only clamored in the Weibo comment area, but also used Weibo private messages to insult.
Shen Yanda's face became extremely ugly as he watched thousands of malicious insults.
"It broke out at nine o'clock this morning. I have contacted the crew announcer. It should have been someone who secretly purchased the hot search and deliberately expanded the spread."
"The crew over there hope you will come forward and explain, they will cooperate with you to sue these hot authors."
Qian Yiren told all the news that she had collected so far.
Shen Yanda rubbed his eyebrows, and the panic in his heart quickly disappeared.
The core content of the story is his originality. As for the side plot of ‘plagiarism’, it would kill him and deny it!
Anyway, netizens are all three-minute enthusiasts. As long as the TV series is good-looking, they will not account for the content of these plots.
As for the little transparent author beyond the eighteenth line? No matter how large the number of people is, there will be no splashes.
"Yiren, please help me contact the water army..." Shen Yanda already had an idea in his mind.
After the late statement was issued, he immediately found someone to suppress the bad reviews and bring the rhythm. This matter was turned over in less than two days.
Qian Yiren nodded.
Shen Yanda is her most valuable golden bag. After the public opinion is dealt with, she and the other party will settle the private matter!
Carry her out to find a woman?
If she didn't have ten designer bags, she wouldn't let it go easily.
─────────────────────
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yanda published a Weibo.
[ Absurd! Complete slander!
I'm not a new screenwriter who just entered the circle. My previous works have won everyone's love. I am very grateful. ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ is my new work after five years, but the core idea was as early as seven or eight years ago when I wrote ‘Linglong Bone’ began, this is my story!
I hope all text creators can keep their feet on the ground! The enthusiasm is not yours after all! ]
The comment area under Weibo quickly gathered a lot of comments.
[ Mr. Shen, I believe you! ‘Linglong Bone’ is a work I will brush with! I believe that a Teacher who can write such works must have a strong character and morality! ]
[ Shen Yanda, plagiarism! Shen Yanda, apologize! ]
[ It must be my peers who watched the ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ too hot, and want to pull Teacher Shen off the grid! Don't be fooled! ]
[ The core point of vengeance in ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ is very exciting, and Mr. Shen is the best when he makes a shot! ]
[ In these years, plagiarism is always said, and TV shows are just too good to be done! ]
[ As expected of a big screenwriter, now, can you say this righteously? ]
[ Is there something wrong with the people upstairs? Just because the screenwriter accused of plagiarism is a bigwig? So should the author have no human rights? ]
After Shen Yanda made his voice, the crew of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ also made a relevant response.
[ First of all, I would like to thank the majority of netizens for their attention to the crew of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’. The script was sculpted by Mr. Shen Yanda himself. It is an absolutely original work. ]
[ All the creators of ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ respect all original works, and will never make 'plagiarism' and other wrong things that undermine the bottom line of the industry! In addition, we will take strong legal measures against illegal rumors. ]
In the end, the four words ‘illegal spread of rumors’ completely set the shape for the few transparent authors.
[ Okay, the official has spoken. There are two ‘plagiarism’ points that were just broadcast last night. As a result, so many authors suddenly came up with accusations this morning. At first glance, someone was deliberately working on the crew! Support rights protection! ]
[ Birds of a feather flock together! The content and time of those novels are true, so how are they faked? I wish the TV series ‘Long Song of the Southern Dynasties’ hit rock bottom! Shen Yanda is disgusting! ]
Just when the netizens on both sides were arguing, a newly registered account suddenly landed in the hot search comment area.
@Song Fangmei: [ Hello everyone, I'm Song Fangmei, Shen Yanda's ex-wife. ]
This short self-introduction immediately made many netizens active in the hot search on Weibo smell the ‘big melon’.
