Chapter 1027: Falling into a Plagiarism Controversy (2)

e." 。She was so scared she thought she was going to fall off the cliff. 。He lifted her chin, his thin lips pressing against hers. Unlike his usual domineering and forceful kisses, this one was incred...After finishing the call with Jun Lan, Wen Ping Sheng set his phone's communication settings to whitelist mode, blocking all incoming calls and text messages from unknown numbers.

Then she opened Weibo to see what was going on.

I saw that a Weibo account called "Anti-Plagiarism Specialized Little Horse Jacket" was mentioning her and @'ed her. This Weibo account has 500,000 to 600,000 fans, and the fans are quite active with considerable influence.

Wen Ping Sheng casually clicked on the Weibo post tagged to her. The long image contained a series of steps from Tutus Youzhi's plan to publish a single-volume edition, through meetings with the manga company and finally confirming printing dates and signing events.

Then compare it with the time of Shengge's Weibo posted this morning.

Tutu's signing event for her single-volume manga is at the end of June, and it's currently May. While Shengge's signing event is in mid-August.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And Tuto Youzhi told fans about publishing a single-volume book two or three months ago, and now that the physical books have been printed, Tuto Youzhi is at home preparing for the signing event, busy signing his name on the single-volume books every day.

The Weibo long picture repeatedly emphasizes the cover of the "Sheng Ge" single-volume edition, which was just released today, while the single-volume edition illustrated by TuTu has already been printed and is ready to be sold.

Who is right and who is wrong, who plagiarized whom, anyone with discernment can see it at a glance.

To maximize the spread of this event, the Weibo account called "Anti-Plagiarism Special Account" also stated in its Weibo posts and at the end of the long images - it will draw ten first prizes from among those who follow and retweet, each receiving 5,000 yuan in cash; twenty second prizes will be awarded 1,000 yuan in cash each, and thirty third prizes will be awarded with "Tu Tu You Zhi" manga volumes and peripherals.

It can be said that in order to bring down Wen Ping Sheng, they spared no expense.

Thus, this Weibo post was retweeted over 30,000 times in just two hours.

Then, many people in the comments of this Weibo post angrily scolded Wen Pingsheng as a plagiarism dog. Some people also dug up old photos that Wen Pingsheng had posted on Weibo and used them to make fun of him, pasting them in the comments below the Weibo post——

‘The plagiarism of "Songs of the Soul" is disgusting, a cancer in the industry. Get out of the comics world right now.’

‘My uncle can tell a person’s character by their face. He said Shengge copied the look of a dog, typical of a deceitful and cunning person with a deep scheming nature. Someone who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. I always thought she wasn't a good person, and today's events have confirmed my suspicions.’ [圖片]’

‘Damn it! Your whole family is going to explode, you shameless plagiarism dog Shengge, you copied so obviously, do you think everyone else is blind I feel sorry for TuTu, she spent months working hard to draw the cover and you just plagiarized it with your hands! What a trash Shengge!’

"A plagiarism dog like Sheng Ge dares to repost a giveaway Is she trying to get kicked out even faster I really don't know who gave her the courage."

'……'

Wen Pingsheng exited the Weibo post expressionlessly, then clicked back to her own Weibo homepage and took a look at the giveaway Weibo she had posted that morning.

As expected, the comment section has already surpassed 20,000 comments, and the top comments are all occupied by online trolls from other platforms who specifically came to insult her as a plagiarist.

She scrolled through the comments for a while before finally seeing a few of her little fans say, ‘I believe Shengge didn't plagiarize TuTuYouZhi, no matter what, I will continue to support Shengge as always,’ ‘Hug Shengge, I especially like the stories in Shengge's paintings,’ ‘Shengge, don't pay attention to those ungrateful keyboard warriors on the internet, protect our dear Shengge.’

These comments were attacked by a bunch of blind followers who jumped on the bandwagon and even went to her fans' Weibo accounts, digging up their photos and posting them in the comment section to criticize them.

Wen Ping Sheng was so angry looking at this, he wanted to crawl through the internet and beat up all these keyboard warriors who scolded her fans without knowing the truth.

She felt she was innocent of the cover art for the paperback.

From the initial concept to the complete execution of the entire cover illustration, she painstakingly created it herself, stroke by stroke. Some details were also perfected through discussions with Junlan, the deputy editor.

She and Tutu's relationship wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good either. Because deep down, they both knew there was no possibility of becoming friends.

Before, she had only vaguely heard Junlan, the deputy editor-in-chief, casually mention that Tutu was planning to publish a single volume of her works. However, she hadn't paid much attention to it.

She doesn't like TuTu Youzhi, so even though they are both manga artists in Chuang Shen Comic Society, she doesn't even follow TuTu Youzhi on Weibo and hasn't read any of his manga.

She didn't plagiarize the cover of Tituyou's manga, but the evidence posted in the "Anti-Plagiarism Special Equestrian Jacket" Weibo account, comparing her work to Tituyou's manga cover, shows a similarity rate as high as 80%.

If it were a coincidence, absolutely no one would believe it.

Wen Ping Sheng also didn't believe this was a coincidence. As for the single-page booklet cover she had painstakingly conceived and drawn, why did it have an 80% similarity to Tu Tu You Zhi's

This is worth looking into further.

Wen Ping Sheng had just exited Weibo when she saw her little brother run into the study, asking frantically, "Little Sheng, did you know about the rumors on Weibo accusing you of plagiarizing that bald manga cover"

He's recently retired and doesn't want to see fans crying and begging him to come back to work, so he hasn't been looking at Weibo. He just got a call from their big brother and ran to Weibo to have a look and found out about this.

Since Tutu Youzhi's friend Mu Mu, hinted that Shengge had a messy private life on Weibo, Wen Yizhou started calling Tutu Youzhi "Tu Tu." As for Mu Mu, she was served with a court summons by Wen Yizhou and was so scared that she never dared to mention anything about Shengge again. She also broke off contact with Tutu Youzhi because Tutu Youzhi encouraged her to post that Weibo implying that Shengge had made Yi Sheng wear a green hat.

"Just saw it." Wen Ping Sheng said.

"Xiao Sheng, I think those people are deliberately making a fuss. Do you need help" Wen Yi Zhou asked again with concern.

Those people were so venomous, it made him want to punch them.

Wen Pingsheng refused and said, "I don't need it for now. Jun Lan, the deputy editor-in-chief, told me not to respond first. He is currently holding an emergency meeting on this matter. We'll wait and see what he says after the meeting."

She and TuTu Yu Zhi are both in the same manga club.

To publish a single volume is not something that can be decided by just one person in a publishing house, unless that 'person' is the boss of the publishing house. Otherwise, it must go through a meeting with the manga department, sales department, and other managers of the publishing house to discuss, weigh the pros and cons, and finally reach a consensus before the manuscript can be sent to the press for printing and publication.

Why does the cover of her notebook look so similar to Tutu Youzhi's, with a similarity rate as high as 80%, and could this even be approved at the meeting

If she passed, why are they saying she plagiarized

There are too many doubts about this, she wanted to hear how Junlan, the deputy editor-in-chief, would explain it to her later.ition stabilizes, he can't let her know about the pregnancy, lest it cause an extreme reaction and harm the little rabbit. 。 “There's also…” The female doctor glanced at the cigarette butts in the...
