Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Because of Yu Si's book, how should I put it?

Let me briefly describe what's inside.

One of the classic scenes is when, at the beginning of the story, the male protagonist faces the emperor's attempt to undermine his military power.

The male protagonist commands an army of 80 and is the top martial artist in the country. He is incredibly charismatic and has many loyal followers who are willing to risk their lives for him.

The emperor needed him to relinquish his military power.

And then, the male protagonist actually did just that—hand over the power he held.

And that's not all. He even voluntarily severed his own tendons and meridians, crippling his martial arts skills, just to prove that he had a clear conscience.

And all of this was caused by a woman, which led to suspicion between the ruler and his subject, who were originally as close as brothers.

The final plot revolves around the various loves, hates, and grudges of women.

In the end, the two reconciled, and the male lead actually forgave the emperor, the second male lead.

To be honest, Xia Yuan didn't take on this role back then.

In hindsight, this movie was practically a tailor-made opportunity for him and his senior to lose money.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything later; the opportunity had already been missed.

Unexpectedly, this plagiarism scandal has become related to this up-and-coming writer.

Xia Yuan was somewhat surprised and went to find out the actual situation.

He first asked someone to buy him a copy of the other party's new book, which is now causing a huge stir online, "The Child of Magic".

Then I examined it carefully for a while.

Finally, he was surprised to find that the other party's book, in terms of both plot and setting, was almost identical to "Harry Potter".

This left him somewhat stunned.

But he didn't think much about it.

"It must be a coincidence," Xia Yuan murmured.

Because the main storylines of the two books have completely different focuses, Harry Potter tells the story of the three children's adventures and school life, and also lays the groundwork for the battle between good and evil in the next six books.

Yu Si's "Child of Magic" revolves entirely around the love, hate, and grudges between three people, focusing on a love story.

Xia Yuan knew he couldn't write something like that.

His philosophy is fundamentally different from that of creators like Yu Si.

In fact, there was something he didn't say: he simply couldn't understand these female-oriented authors.

Does the absence of love mean they have nothing left to write about?

I have to be in a relationship no matter what I do.

No matter what you do, you have to be in a relationship.

Even if they were to write a military-themed novel, the main theme would definitely be military marriage.

Otherwise, it'll be something like "The Domineering General Falls in Love with Me".

He truly couldn't understand it.

So it's most likely just a coincidence and there's no need to worry about it.

As for the controversies online...

Let them be. He already has a lot of haters anyway, and they won't really have any more profound impact on him at this stage.

However, although Xia Yuan didn't care, in this era, in the current online world, there are always some netizens who are incredibly resourceful.

You never know who the netizens you're chatting with are, nor do you know what kind of people are mixed in with those seemingly ordinary netizens.

So very quickly, Xia Yuan's first draft, which he had posted on an external blog, was found.

One fascinating characteristic of the external internet is that it almost always requires real-name registration, especially for things like blogs, where real-name registration is a mandatory standard.

Therefore, the signature under Xia Yuan's account is 'Xia Yuan'.

The first draft, though only 30,000 words long, revealed a wealth of information.

"Harry Potter"

It provides a detailed summary of the entire story, including character descriptions and brief biographies.

Even this first draft didn't get more than 100 views.

When the news reached China, it caused a huge stir.

Originally, there were conflicting accounts of the plagiarism issue, with both sides having their own version of events, and neither side could convince the other or explain the actual situation. Then this major incident occurred.

It was a complete and utter reversal.

This one move completely ignited public opinion.

"Wow, this is a reversal. This thing was released much earlier than Yu Si's."

"What we know now is that this account definitely belongs to Xia Yuan. It's probably his private account used for making memos. The past history even contains movie outlines and scripts. Wow, we've struck gold!!!"

"So now the situation is, it's confirmed that Xia Yuan was the one who copied Yu Si?"

"Isn't that right? The release date is always the only gold standard for defining plagiarism."

"This is a case of the guilty party accusing the innocent first. The plagiarist is the one who turns the tables and accuses others of plagiarism."

"@Yu Si's fans: Speak up! Don't play dumb!"

Of course, in addition to this, many other people flocked to leave messages on Yu Si's Weibo account.

"Are you there? Come out and explain why you plagiarized? And after plagiarizing, you deliberately guided and led your fans to accuse others of plagiarism? Can you come out and give an explanation?"

"Hahahaha, this is the real Yu Si. I told you, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. A dog can never stop eating shit. Sure enough, he is still the familiar Ctrl+C+V writer."

"The technical skill and prestige of being a writer have indeed declined. I don't know about other places, but in Hanxia, ​​any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a writer. They can just make some minor changes and someone else's work becomes their own."

"Copy, I copied like crazy."

"I told you, this kind of subject matter is not something Yu Si could write, not to mention that the subject matter and content are so disconnected. It feels like it's trying too hard to make a love story, and it's very awkward."

"Xia Yuan's work is very comfortable to read. The various arrangements are just right, and the plot is intricately linked. Almost every detail is useful. It is clear that the book has great ambitions and a magnificent background. It is simply incomparable to 'The Child of Magic,' a cheap knock-off work that exudes a cheap feel from the inside out."

However, Yu Si's fans are clearly not to be underestimated.

The fact that so many people collectively besieged the temple is a violation of what they consider to be their bottom line.

Soon enough, Yu Si's fans realized what was going on.

"What happened?"

"No, does this prove that Yu Si plagiarized? It doesn't prove anything, does it? Xia Yuan posted it first, that's true, but can't it just be a coincidence? It's just that the two sides had the same theme."

"Koji would never do such a thing; this is pure fabrication and slander."

"This is hilarious! You Yu Si fans didn't say this before. Were you like this before? No, you were so adamant that whoever posted first was 100% plagiarizing. What, are you contradicting yourselves now?" (End of Chapter)
