Chapter 68 Plagiarism

What Shen Wei said was simple, but also slightly tricky.

That is, Shengshi Entertainment, together with Xingyu Media and Huating Entertainment, launched a new drama "Traffic War", which has already started filming, starring Zheng Xinran and Luo Minglang.Judging from the plot synopsis and characters revealed so far, the similarity between this TV series and Yuyan Films' next project "Money Game" is nearly 90.00%.

Previously, in order to leave suspense, Yuyan Film and Television has not officially announced the content of the episode, and fans only know that it is a modern commercial war drama.From this point of view, ordinary viewers will only think that Sheng Yu is challenging Yuyan Film and Television with a drama of the same theme.

Those who know the content of the script of "The Money Game" can tell at a glance that the other party is blatantly plagiarizing.But now "Manipulator War" has taken the lead, and it is not yet known how much the specific plot overlap will be. If you jump out and accuse the other party of plagiarism at this time, it will only be considered a touch.

So Yuyan Film and Television can only suffer from this dark loss now. Shen Wei has already investigated, and it is impossible for someone inside them to leak the secret, so there are only two screenwriters themselves.

However, both Qian Hao and Fang Jingyi said they did not know about it. Fang Jingyi said that this work is definitely an original work by her and her boyfriend, and it has not been published.

Qian Hao and Fang Jingyi had signed a confidentiality agreement, and besides the guaranteed draft remuneration, they also had an additional sharing agreement, leaking secrets would only harm their own interests.

Unless the other party pays a high price beyond common sense to buy the screenwriter regardless of the income - but judging from the personalities of Qian Hao and Fang Jingyi and Zhao Yingze's business principles, this is unlikely.

Li Shaoyan didn't tell Tang Yu about the matter, first sent Tang Yu back to the apartment to rest, and then used some old eyeliner to send someone to find out what the content of "Managing War" was.

The screenwriter of the other party used a pseudonym, and his personal information was almost blank. Some of the plots found from the filming scene of the crew were indeed almost the same as in "Money Game".And the title producer of this TV series is Zhao Yingze.

Li Shaoyan was angry in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Yingze to be so small-minded, to use this kind of method to fight against himself, even a small profit like a TV series would not be spared.

But Shen Wei told him again that he had confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Yingze.

Shen Wei said it confidently, but if he and Zhao Yingze didn't know about it, it would be even more puzzling.I will continue to investigate, but now whether to continue filming, follow the original script or change the plot, has become a big problem.

The preliminary preparations for "Money Game" have basically been completed, and they are waiting for Tang Yu to come back from vacation and join the group to start the game. Unexpectedly, a pirated version of "War of Traders" will appear at this juncture.The shooting speed of the other party is unexpectedly fast, and it will definitely be finished before Yuyan Film and Television, the production will be completed, and it will be broadcast online.

For giants like Shengshi Entertainment, there were satellite TVs vying for bids before the filming of the TV series, and finally the most wealthy company signed the exclusive right to broadcast the first round of 300 episodes at a price of 45 million yuan per episode.At that time, Strawberry TV under Shengyu should also be broadcasting at the same time. The huge consumer base that Li Shaoyan recruited for Shengyu in the past may be cheaper than this plagiarized drama.

In this way, the risk of sticking with "The Money Game" becomes greater.

Li Shaoyan actually didn't care how much profit the show could make, but he thought that this was the first project Tang Yu wanted to do, and something like this happened, so he couldn't help worrying that Tang Yu would be disappointed.

"So, shall we continue to make this TV series?" Li Shaoyan told Tang Yu the ins and outs of the matter and the possible risks, and finally asked him this way.

Tang Yu frowned when he heard that, he obviously never thought that such a thing would happen again.

But in fact, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in the circle. There was such a precedent earlier. The plagiarism came far faster than the original, and the filming was also rough. many.

Spectators are always ruthless, and those who speak out for originality are much weaker than those who think "just look good, whether it is plagiarism or not".

"Shoot, why don't you shoot." Tang Yu said in a deep voice, "And we have to shoot as it is. It doesn't make sense for us to change the original plot just because it was plagiarized, and give way to the plagiarists."

"We have better actors and directors than them, and I don't believe that we will lose to a fake."

Tang Yu's words were so eloquent, Li Shaoyan saw that he insisted, so he supported his idea.Li Shaoyan is not short of this little money, so he just wants to win at this moment.

Therefore, "The Money Game" produced by Yuyan Film and Television and Zheng Yi Studio was also launched with great fanfare. It was directed by Qin Yizhi and starred by Feng Yao, Zheng Yi, Gu Jing, Tang Yu and Qiao Yu. The lineup was extremely luxurious. Even the supporting role is a powerful actor selected by the Angel Project of Yuyan Film and Television, and the publicity is no less than that of "War of Traders".

They didn't deliberately catch up with the progress, but worked hard to carve.Qin Yizhi is a film director, and he prefers the style of the big screen in terms of camera scheduling. After filming the entire TV series, the exquisite art and service, coupled with the superb acting skills of the leading actors, even feels like an extended version of the movie.

At this time, Shengyu's "Manipulator War" had already been aired, the ratings were gratifying, and word-of-mouth was overwhelming.Although Zheng Xinran's acting skills are a bit poor, but the flaws are not hidden. The whole drama is still IQ online and the rhythm is tight. It is completely different from the silly, white and sweet love dramas that have been broadcast in the past.

Who is the source of the plagiarism is still unclear. Shen Wei somehow learned from Zhao Yingze that the source of the script was Zheng Xinran. Small moves, and completely regardless of cost.

So the clues were cut off here, Zheng Xinran was well protected, and Li Shaoyan had nothing to do with her.

"Money Game" has no water injection, and the finished film only has 30 episodes. In the end, a satellite station that failed to compete with "Manipulator War" bought the rights to the first round of exclusive broadcast at a package price of 8000 million. This is still Li Shaoyan and the director. After drinking, he told him the result of Sheng Yu's plagiarism.

Just before "Money Game" was about to start broadcasting, Fang Jingyi, one of the screenwriters, carefully read "Manipulator War" from beginning to end in order to sort out the evidence of plagiarism. A painful and chilling secret.

She finally knew who leaked the secret, and even the true identity of the unnamed screenwriter, she already knew completely.
