Chapter 36

"The crew is disgusting, cheating fans!"

"This kind of false propaganda is the most annoying!"

"Pull black, pull black, I will definitely not watch this kind of drama!"

"The production team even bought Hot Search! Hehe!"

……

For a while, Tian Shengdong's Weibo was filled with such comments, and these were relatively mild, and some people kept swearing, and the swearing words were even very ugly.

As a producer, Tian Shengdong has made many bad low-cost films. He was scolded a lot in the past, but this time, he was really surprised.

He also knows that his propaganda method is a bit slanted and not the right way, but he also knows that under normal circumstances, such problems will not occur.

The videos and photos he posted on the Internet only attracted some fans. Let’s just look at the little brothers and sisters and have fun. As long as he didn’t cheat or incite fans to do anything, everyone would know It turned out that these videos and photos were filmed for a TV series, which was a publicity method for the crew, and generally they would not be angry, just smiled and let it go.

What's more, Wan Zhiming, Sun Manqing and others are still students...

Moreover, they planned to purchase Hot Search and apply for certification at the same time. In this way, fans who saw Hot Search and touched them would know that it was the crew's promotion, and they wouldn't be angry if they thought about it.

Even, in the photos and videos they released before, they actually showed their flaws...

Now that so many people are scolding, it is obvious that someone is taking the rhythm, and the navy should be invited to take the rhythm.

And ordinary people... are really easy to be taken away by the navy.

For example, someone posted a Weibo and said something like "you need willpower to lose weight". When netizens saw it at first, they would think there was nothing wrong with it, but when they saw the comments, they were all "so fat people don't have willpower." ?” What, the view on this Weibo suddenly changed, it is easy to think that this person is discriminating against fat people.

Now, many people say that their production team made false publicity and deceived fans. Let’s take a look...it’s true!

When I first read Weibo, I felt that this kind of publicity did not hinder me, and there was nothing to be angry about, so I got angry too.

"There are more and more people swearing..." Tian Shengdong felt helpless.

He used to post a microblog with a few hundred comments, but now...the comments have exceeded a thousand in an instant, and there are more and more people, and many people repost it.

According to the normal situation, even if they bought Hot Search, it would be impossible for them to have such popularity.

"What the hell is the person who bought us trending searches and recruited a navy to hack us?" Tian Shengdong asked again.

In fact, such a small production team like theirs has been hacked so much, and they are not affected much... It may even become popular because of this, and then the show can be sold at a higher price.

As for these sunspots... Most of them left after scolding, and no one paid attention to the follow-up.

For them, although Hot Press was scolded a bit miserably, it was actually a good thing for them.

"No matter what she wants to do... You should clarify first." Gu Yanzi said.

He knew that most of this was done by Jiang Xiu.

Jiang Xiu is the slickest at this kind of dealing with people online - she has a dedicated team around her, and she used this method to harm those celebrities who did not deal with her in the past.

"I don't think it's necessary to clarify... Black and red are also red..." Tian Shengdong said, he also pointed out that the popularity of this show is getting more and more scolded!

In the past, for the sake of popularity, some production crews even specifically fired up the scandals of their production crew...

"If you don't clarify, maybe you won't be able to turn around when her back is recruited." Gu Yanzi said.

He knew that this trivial matter probably wouldn't affect the show, and what Jiang Xiuzhen had to deal with was probably not the show.

After Tian Shengdong considered it, he quickly decided to issue a clarification announcement.

And he did this mainly because he had high hopes for this drama, and he didn't want to see this drama being scolded.

Tian Shengdong posted a long Weibo with the title "About our crew's false propaganda, we hereby make a clarification".

At the beginning of this long microblog, he said that although the crew posted some microblogs in the tone of a student from a certain school, they did not deliberately hide that they were filming, but just borrowed Weibo to post some stills and videos , trying to attract fans with the plot of the show.

First of all, the first video.

The video was released in June, and the weather was already very hot, but the male protagonist who drove the Ferrari was wearing a shirt suit... Besides, throughout the video, a videographer wearing short sleeves and carrying a camera can be seen...

After Tian Shengdong explained, he added video screenshots.

In addition to the first video with goofy shots, the photos he posted later also have a lot of goofy shots. In addition... it is obviously summer vacation, but his Weibo updates have not stopped. I was still wearing spring clothes at the time... In addition, the names of the schools mentioned in the Weibo are all the schools in the drama, and they don't exist in reality.

Not only that, Tian Shengdong asked someone to help him forward it at the beginning. The people he asked for were either the director or the producer. Many, many people who helped to forward it were classmates and friends of the cast and crew... Everyone knew the real situation. The matching text is actually full of loopholes.

For example, when a few boys in Wan Zhiming's dormitory forwarded it, the accompanying text was: "Hahahahaha, everyone, go and see someone who drove a Ferrari!"

Another example is Producer Tian. When he forwarded it, the accompanying text was: "The story of the grass."

There is also a female supporting role, she is a small Internet celebrity, and then specially reposted it for the crew... Her fans have seen her in it!

Because of this, many of their original fans actually knew that they were a crew, and the comments below also mentioned some related information.

Don't talk about that, just say the Weibo name "The Man Who Turned into a Woman"... This name is not normal.

Of course, there are some people who really don't know about this... Tian Shengdong specially apologized to these people.

After apologizing, he also stated very frankly that they did not buy hot searches and had already applied for certification.

Not many people saw this statement.

Because many people don't pay attention after scolding them... Even many people only scold and scold people on the Weibo of those big Vs who are linked to their crew, such as "those things in the entertainment industry", and they don't even touch the crew. from Weibo...

After such a lot of tossing, Tian Shengdong ignored the matter for the time being and continued filming, unexpectedly...

Immediately afterwards, someone suddenly posted a long Weibo on the Internet accusing the crew of "The Man Who Turned into a Woman" for plagiarism.

The one who condemned so much was Xingyue Entertainment's signed screenwriter named Ni Junyang. He said that he had written a script outline before, and the content of the script outline was that a man would turn into a woman under special circumstances and develop based on He wrote a lot of stories, and the outline of his script was shown to Gu Yanzi once. Unexpectedly, Gu Yanzi told him that the outline was not good and advised him to write other stories. When he turned around, he copied his outline and wrote the script. , and got someone to take a picture...

In his long Weibo, the screenwriter expressed angrily, "Although I haven't seen the script of "The Man Who Turned into a Woman", I saw the name of the crew and some videos and pictures disclosed by the crew on Weibo. Immediately I thought of the outline I came up with more than a year ago! This is my story, shamelessly embezzled by Gu Yanzi!"

Below, he posted a photo of a handwritten outline.

Right now, the crew of "The Man Who Turned into a Woman" is very popular. After the screenwriter posted his Weibo, and he @many people, someone immediately retweeted it for him.

Although most of the people who retweeted did not say anything for the time being, Shui Jun had posted the words "believe him" on his Weibo, and some people who didn't know the truth retweeted his Weibo to support him in defending his rights.

Gu Yanzi didn't see this Weibo immediately.

He had already gone home, and while he was cooking, he received a call from Tian Shengdong. Then he went online to check Weibo, and then discovered... The outline in Ni Junyang's Weibo is really "The Man Who Became a Woman" The outline of the book is [-]% like it.

Of course, Ni Junyang was able to issue such an outline, definitely not because he plagiarized, but probably because... the script of "The Man Who Became a Woman" was leaked.

Although there are not many actors in this crew, there are also many, because this drama is not a movie with a high level of secrecy, when Tian Shengdong gives the script to the actors, he does not only give the scenes to be shot every time Yes...he directly gave the TXT file of the script to those actors.

"Young Master Gu, the script should have been leaked, sorry..." Tian Shengdong said to Gu Yanzi with an apologetic face.He is a member of the circle, and he can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with Ni Junyang's long Weibo.

Apart from a handwritten outline, Ni Junyang obviously couldn't produce other tangible evidence to prove that Gu Yanzi plagiarized.

In addition... Gu Yanzi discussed this script with him at the beginning, and the initial direction was not like this!

Gu Yanzi didn't even think about the heroine at first!

"It's okay, the people behind the scenes are obviously targeting me..." Gu Yanzi said, he knew Ni Junyang, a male screenwriter in his 40s, who has been writing short-lived ethics dramas for parents in Xingyue these years.

And the reason why he and Ni Junyang had an intersection... was because Peng Jinghong wanted to give him a script that Xingyue planned for Ni Junyang to adapt.

At that time, Xingyue bought the copyright of a very popular female-to-workplace novel and wanted to adapt it into a TV series.Because the novel called "Your Home" is very popular, the investment in this TV series is also very high, even hundreds of millions.

Modern plots and TV dramas that don't require any special effects have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, which is absolutely amazing, although the investment may be watery.

Therefore, the adaptation fee for the screenwriter is very high. Xingyue has prepared 300 million yuan for the adaptation fee of the TV series with about [-] episodes.

Peng Jinghong originally wanted him to earn this money, but Gu Yanzi refused.

Firstly, it’s because he doesn’t want to get involved with Xingyue too much, and secondly... the author of this novel is very famous, and this novel is also very famous, but the novel itself is not long, only 20 words. It is a test to adapt such a novel The screenwriting skills require the screenwriter to add other plots and characters, not to mention, after the adaptation, the screenwriter will probably not be able to please.

Gu Yanzi didn't want to be scolded by fans of the original book, so naturally he wouldn't agree.

But after that, Ni Junyang specially added him as a friend, and then said some weird words to him, and then met him by accident, and his expression was very strange.

Of course, if there were only these things... Gu Yanzi might not remember Ni Junyang, after all, many years had passed for the reborn him.

Gu Yanzi was deeply impressed by this person because "Your Home" and "Jiangshan" were broadcast at about the same time in her previous life.

Although "Jiangshan" is suspected of plagiarism, most of the middle-aged and elderly women who watch TV are not aware of plagiarism. The plot of the whole drama is really good, so the ratings have always been high, even breaking 1.

"Your Home" is different.Ni Junyang used to write about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas with fluff all over the place. The heroines in them are generally weak and kind and always suffer wronged. The heroine of "Your Home" is an independent and confident strong woman. When he wrote Naturally, it is not well grasped.

In the end, a good workplace inspirational drama was written by him as a "mentally retarded" drama in which the heroine deals with several men, and by the way, gets promoted and raises salary under the escort of men.

That's fine, because the company asked to restore the original work as much as possible, and he couldn't spread blood as much as he wanted... So this drama not only failed to attract fans of the original work, but also failed to attract aunts who liked his previous dramas. Miserably not.

It was also at that time that the plagiarism broke out in "Jiangshan".

Then, Ni Junyang became excited and began to step on "Jiangshan" everywhere, saying that although the play he wrote was rushed, he did not plagiarize anyway...

With such a person, it would be difficult for Gu Yanzi not to have an impression of him.

Gu Yanzi didn't take Ni Junyang seriously, because he was convinced that Ni Junyang had no other evidence except to create public opinion.

After finishing the call with Tian Shengdong, Gu Yanzi continued to cook.

Among the ingredients delivered today was a duck, so he made a beer duck, fried eggplant boxes, fried cowpeas, and stewed a soup with sea cucumbers.

Less than 5 minutes after he finished, Zheng Jiahe came back.

Although the crew of "The Man Who Turned into a Woman" was scolded a lot on Weibo, Zheng Jiahe, as a CEO who does everything he can to avoid reading Weibo, didn't know about it at all.

And the people around him, Assistant Zhu who knew about Gu Yanzi's situation, also didn't read Weibo, and the others didn't know about Gu Yanzi, so naturally no one told him.

"This duck is delicious." Zheng Jiahe praised, since he knew he was not sick, Gu Yanzi has been willing to use all kinds of ingredients in cooking these days, and the food he makes is naturally much more delicious.

"I saved some, so I can eat it tomorrow morning." Gu Yanzi said, it's not very good to save vegetarian dishes for the next day, and it doesn't matter much for meat dishes.

"Okay." Zheng Jiahe nodded, and praised all the other dishes.

It's a pity that the communication between the two is limited to the dining table...

After dinner, Zheng Jiahe went back to his room to work overtime, while Gu Yanzi went to the study.

Ni Junyang framed him, he will definitely fight back.

When Gu Yanzi turned on the computer, the matter about his plagiarism on the computer had already fermented more and more.

Jiang Xiu obviously came prepared, and even spent money to buy some drafts for Ni Junyang.

So... under the Weibo of "The Man Who Became a Woman", there are even more people swearing.

As for why everyone scolds on this Weibo... Gu Yanzi committed suicide on his previous Weibo, but Jiang Xiu doesn't know about his current Weibo.

"This production team is so simple, it's fine to use deceitful publicity, the script is still plagiarized!"

"Garbage crew, garbage drama!"

"I can understand the previous promotion after reading the crew's explanation, but now this plagiarism...haha!"

……

Gu Yanzi looked at the comments and knew that there should be a lot of trolls in it, especially those who called him by name.

He thought for a while, and began to take screenshots of the chat records he had with Lin Ling and others when he wrote the script of "The Man Who Became a Woman", and sorted out what they had written or helped others in their studio over the years. Put the scripts on the Internet, and help Ni Junyang sort out the TV series written by him by the way.

In their studio, most of the dramas they have produced are full of new ideas, and the big guys are also young. Ni Junyang, a middle-aged screenwriter who has been writing mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, said that they copied memes... Isn’t this ridiculous?

Although this time, because he hadn't experienced it in his previous life, he was not prepared, but the truth cannot be faked, and the fake cannot be true.

Gu Yanzi sorted it out very quickly, and after a short while, he finished what needed to be sorted out, and then logged into Tian Shengdong's Weibo, and posted a second long Weibo for the crew to explain.

The name of this long Weibo is a bit aggressive - "About Ni Junyang's screenwriter's frame-up, the crew will use legal means to protect our rights."

This long Weibo has one meaning, that is, this drama was created by Gu Yanzi's studio, there is no such thing as plagiarism, and Gu Yanzi himself and Ni Junyang are completely unfamiliar, they are not friends in every way, and have never chatted , It is impossible to discuss the script together.

Ni Junyang made a false accusation without any evidence, and they will find a lawyer to sue Ni Junyang.

At the same time, the long Weibo also released the names of the scripts written by Ni Junyang in the past, and the scripts written by Gu Yanzi's studio.

Compared with Ni Junyang, Gu Yanzi's studio has written very few things, and many of them are written by assisting others, or simply micro-movies.

But even so... Netizens can tell that what Gu Yanzi writes here is full of imagination.

The few micro-movies among them are all kinds of ideas.

"After reading the explanation, I watched Gu Yanzi's microfilm and Ni Junyang's TV series... I don't think Gu Yanzi plagiarized."

"Gu Yanzi released the ages of the pseudonyms of the employees in their studio. The oldest is only 28 years old, the youngest is only 22, and he himself is 24... Ni Junyang is already 50 or [-] years old, right? And look at his previous Weibo , especially old-fashioned, not like someone who can come up with such an innovative script outline."

"I became a fan of those micro-movies..."

"The matter is still unclear, so let's not talk and see if Ni Junyang can produce any evidence."

……

Reasonable people are much more sober at this time, but the navy is still brushing up on plagiarism, all kinds of insults, and quickly brushed down the comments of rational fans.

Gu Yanzi didn't care about these things, and vaguely felt that... this matter should not be over yet.

After thinking about it, he called his uncle, and asked his uncle to find him some reliable people to keep an eye on Jiang Xiu, Ni Junyang, and Jiang Xiu's manager.

Usually, Jiang Xiu asked his agent to do this kind of thing.

After Gu Yanzi finished all this, he went to bed early, and the next day, he found out... that Jiang Xiu had made another moth.

First, Ni Junyang deleted Weibo, and then someone who claimed to be an "informed person" supported Ni Junyang on the Internet, and said that Gu Yanzi had a backer, and Ni Junyang was now forced by the company to delete Weibo.

As for Gu Yanzi's background...

Do you know "Jiangshan"?After Jiacheng Film and Television planned to make a historical drama of the Song Dynasty, the studio of a certain first-line star approached Jiacheng Film and Television to cooperate with Jiacheng Film and Television, but Gu Yanzi cut him off!

Obviously there were many people participating in the competition at that time, but Jiacheng Film and Television entrusted this drama to Gu Yanzi to do it...

And the reason for this is because Gu Yanzi has a backer!

As for the drama "The Man Who Became a Woman"... Gu Yanzi completely controlled it, and he even unspokenly ruled for the female lead!

This person took out some screenshots of the chat records. Some people complained that "Jiangshan" had an inside story about the selection of the screenwriter, and Sun Manqing's friend told others that Sun Manqing was not serious, and she had to climb the screenwriter's bed to become the heroine.

"Damn! This Gu Yanzi is amazing, he can surpass so many people to become the screenwriter of "Jiangshan"!"

"What kind of background is this person!"

"Sun Manqing is very beautiful, I didn't expect...hehe!"

"The entertainment industry is really chaotic..."

……

Gu Yanzi suddenly admired Jiang Xiu a little bit.

Jiang Xiu's imagination is really rich, even Sun Manqing can use his unspoken rules to black him...

Gu Yanzi was thinking about things on the Internet, and was watching Weibo while eating breakfast, and didn't chat with Zheng Jiahe.But when Zheng Jiahe went out, he went out with him: "Uncle Zheng, let me take you to the company."

Zheng Jiahe nodded: "Okay... why did you think of sending me off?"

"I happened to go out on business!"

Zheng Jiahe: "..."

After Gu Yanzi sent Zheng Jiahe to Mingli Group, he immediately went to Tian Shengdong's place and contacted Producer Tian by the way.

"Jiangshan" is currently being edited, ready for review, and has already negotiated prices with several TV stations, and now this sudden incident...may affect the price of "Jiangshan".

Producer Tian was very anxious: "Gu Yanzi, have you thought about how to explain this matter?"

"Producer Tian, ​​I think it's better to tell the truth about this matter."

"Tell the truth?" Producer Tian was puzzled.

"I want to put the screenwriter's price part of the contract we signed at the beginning on the Internet." Gu Yanzi.

"I'll ask the company's opinion." Producer Tian immediately understood Gu Yanzi's meaning.

To be honest... the reason why Jiacheng Film and Television chose Gu Yanzi's studio to write the script was because Gu Yanzi's studio was cheap.

Film and television companies are generally reluctant to talk about this kind of thing. In order to attract the audience, they will even deliberately quote high prices when they talk about it. What.

However, Jiacheng Film and Television seldom did this. They have always kept a low profile. Under such circumstances, Producer Tian felt that the company should agree to Gu Yanzi's request in order not to affect the selling price of "Jiangshan".

Jiacheng Film and Television did agree.

Therefore, "The Man Who Became a Woman" posted another Weibo: "The reason why Gu Yanzi's studio was able to write the script for "Jiangshan" is because of the outline submitted by the studio and the studio's price. The producer is very satisfied. Regarding the unspoken rules, Gu Yanzi himself likes men."

The picture below is the low screenwriting fee for the drama "Jiangshan".
