Chapter 588: 376 Wanwan involved in infringement? Aunt Flo went to steal the tricks?
Inside the studio
Tang Wan had already opened her phone and searched for several popular Weibo posts under the entry “copyright infringement.” These were widely shared by various public accounts. Not only did they include comparison images of the infringement, but they also listed many details.
There was even the plagiarized party’s report telephone and email methods, and someone had even created a template, leading a group of people to complain to the other party.
“I really didn’t expect Tang Wan to plagiarize and infringe; they are exactly the same, so shameless.”
“She probably didn’t expect that her work from a few years ago would be dug up, it’s totally a copy of a master’s work. Everyone should specify when reporting that it has already been used commercially to make money, and I heard that the owner has already registered the patent, definitely constituting infringement.”
“Luckily, ‘Feng Que’ was shot not long ago. Otherwise, if it were complete and she couldn’t broadcast it because of her, everyone would be devastated.”
“I don’t understand Cyan Feather, at a glance, I thought they were the same thing.”
…
And the infringed party, all pointed to a top domestic artisan.
“Wanwan, these…” actually, Chen Zhi was also nervous because they were indeed very similar, “did you really look at his work, and then…”
Before Tang Wan could respond, a phone call came; it was from Ruan Mengxi.
“Hello, Xixi?”
“You are at the studio, right? I’m coming over soon. This has blown up too much, now various talent agencies and agents are coming to me for verification, and I reckon the boss is about to explode.”
“I am here, come over.”
Ruan Mengxi arrived in about fifteen minutes.
“…How is the production team doing?” Tang Wan was still browsing information online.
“We are just pacifying for now, it can’t affect the shooting, otherwise, the loss would be huge. Do you actually have that?” The other party came up with comparison images, publication years, and various evidence, solid and sound, only then could the matter have blown up like this.
“Do you believe me?” Tang Wan asked her in return.
“I definitely believe you, but right now…”
“How about Qi Zeyan?”
“He is finding people to remove the hot search. The production team spends a lot every day, we can’t possibly stop work unless the infringed party stands up and sues, making it bigger. However, we also need to avoid risks on our end. The designs you made, the makeup team might reconsider, they currently don’t dare use it, Wanwan, about this…”
“I understand.” Tang Wan looked at the computer. “Her fanbase is pretty impressive, digging up such old stuff.”
“So did you actually…”
Ruan Mengxi didn’t finish her sentence, Tang Wan suddenly turned her laptop in her direction.
The news “Tang Wan Studio involved in infringement” had been removed; fans had already created a new topic.
“The master will soon be inspecting the exhibition. If reporting fails, then we will go to the exhibition hall and speak with him directly; I don’t believe she can cover the sky with one hand.”
“The power of capital is truly tremendous.”
“With such clear evidence, I wonder what she can do now? Her getting ‘Feng Que,’ that drama, must have also depended on connections, perhaps what she produced was also made by someone else.”
“The Jiang Family is really pathetic, to have such a daughter-in-law; I wonder what Fan Mingyu thinks in his heart.”
“Everyone, don’t rush. The master also needs time to deal with it. If it still doesn’t work on the day of the tour, we will go there and report in person, I heard there will be a lot of media there.”
…
Ruan Mengxi frowned. “This tour, are you talking about the one in a few days?”
Tang Wan nodded.
“This is crazy, how did you end up offending You Congrong, clinging to you non-stop, how many times have you guys been in the hot search recently.” Ruan Mengxi stretched out her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose.
“Was it also leaked online that she was Wuye’s first love?”
“What news is this? Is it reliable?”
Tang Wan laughed out loud, “Wuge doesn’t even remember who she is.”
“The main thing depends on whether the master will handle this matter; if he doesn’t appear, the tour is definitely going to be a mess, Wanwan, did you actually infringe, and are those comparison images really your early work?”
Although the two were close friends, Ruan Mengxi didn’t have much interest in Cyan Feather. Tang Wan had to produce many pieces of jewelry every year, and she couldn’t possibly have seen them all.
“Yes.” Tang Wan didn’t deny it.
“Then did you imitate?”
Tang Wan laughed lightly, “Tell Qi Zeyan this, there won’t be any issues. Even if they really make a scene at the tour, it’s still uncertain who the embarrassed one will be…”
**
Although Tang Wan wasn’t from the entertainment industry, the incident had caused quite a stir. The location of her studio was an open secret. Concerned that someone would come to cause trouble, Chen Zhi asked everyone to work from home before the tour.
