The Fireworks team fell into a heavy silence. The bottle of champagne on the coffee table that was originally used for celebrations seemed particularly redundant at the moment.
No one can understand why the reputation and ratings of the two TV series are so different even though the ratings for the first two episodes were similar.
In particular, the performance of the leading actor sparked widespread discussion.
"Lu Bai's acting skills are indeed outstanding."
"His performance of Shi Yan is very exciting."
"Yangyang's performance seems too greasy."
"Simply the King of Danou."
These comments are undoubtedly detrimental to Yangyang.
The agent frowned and said worriedly: "What should we do? The negative comments came so suddenly."
Yangyang gritted his teeth and responded: "Someone must be deliberately discrediting me. How could my acting skills be greasy?"
The team members exchanged meaningful glances, but no one spoke.
Director Li Muge looked gloomy. He never expected such a result.
He began to review the entire filming process, trying to find the source of the problem.
"Is the plot setting not attractive enough, or is the actor's performance not up to expectations?" He glanced at Yangyang and seemed to have the answer in his mind.
The team held an emergency meeting to discuss response strategies.
Someone suggested posting footage of Yangyang’s hard work during the shooting to show his professionalism;
Some people also suggested that Yangyang respond in person to clarify the misunderstanding.
"None of these are feasible." Li Muge shook his head, "We need more clever methods."
Li Muge gritted his teeth and proposed a bold strategy - implying that the "Love Camp" team had committed plagiarism.
This proposal shocked everyone present, and then they fell into deep thought.
Some people immediately raised objections, believing that this approach was unethical and that once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Director, is this really wise? If exposed, we may face serious consequences." A staff member said worriedly.
The screenwriter also expressed concern: "Now that only two episodes have been aired, maybe we still have a chance to surpass the ratings."
This statement has been recognized by many people.
Li Muge nodded and said, "We need to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we need to strengthen publicity, and on the other hand, we can skillfully guide public opinion." He smiled slightly, "We just raised reasonable questions and did not directly accuse them of plagiarism."
"Got it!" the team members responded in unison.
As a result, the "Fireworks" team began to secretly plan the operation.
They collected some vague evidence and tried to create the illusion that "Love Camp" plagiarized other works.
By spreading news online, they try to influence viewers' opinions and spread doubts.
At first, the doubts circulated in small forums and social media groups.
However, with the continuous promotion of the "Fireworks" team and the hired trolls adding fuel to the flames on major platforms, the voice of doubt gradually grew. Some viewers who did not know the truth began to be affected by these rumors and had doubts about "Love is Camp".
"Is it really plagiarized? That's so disappointing."
"If it is a plagiarized work, then what is there to see?"
"It's really plagiarized! I saw a similar novel on a new novel website!"
“As soon as this statement came out, people all over the Internet rushed into this new novel website.
And after some comparison.
That novel is 70% similar to "Love is Camp".
The whole network is going crazy!
"Is "Love is Camp" really a plagiarism?"
"Until the matter is decided, I still believe in the Glory crew!"
“So Lu Bai is a plagiarist?”
"I'm so disappointed with Lu Bai!" "No, this novel was just released a few days ago, so it can't be a TV series plagiarized by the author of this novel?"
"How many episodes does the TV series only have? How can it be plagiarized from the TV series?"
"That means this novel is plagiarized by Lu Bai!"
"How funny! Where is Lu Bai's novel? How did he plagiarize it?"
Public opinion was detonated!
Controversy continues online.
The emergence of this novel is more like solidifying the suspicion of plagiarism.
……
At this moment, the crew of "Love Camp" is holding an emergency meeting.
Wang Zhi looked stern, obviously angry at this despicable method.
He did not rule out that this was the work of the crew of "Fireworks", but there was currently a lack of conclusive evidence, otherwise he would have been prepared to file a lawsuit.
"This is obviously a malicious smear," he said firmly, "Our works are original and cannot be plagiarized."
"The timing of the appearance of that novel was too coincidental," someone echoed, "It was obviously an attempt to prove our accusation of plagiarism."
"Is there a mole within us?" Another voice sounded, "How could they get all the content otherwise?"
This sentence caused everyone to think deeply.
Indeed, the timing of the appearance of that novel was an unusual coincidence. Otherwise, how could one explain the 70% similarity?
While everyone was discussing countermeasures, the phone rang.
After Wang Zhi answered the phone, he looked visibly relaxed.
The call was from Lu Bai, who brought unexpected news: he arranged the novel, the novel website also belongs to him, and even the people who contributed to the trouble also had his part.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked at first, and then looked at Wang Zhi expectantly, waiting for him to further explain Lu Bai's plan.
"Lu Bai said to hold still and just wait." Wang Zhi waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, "Let's dismiss the meeting first."
"What? You really don't have to do anything?" someone asked in confusion.
"Not even a statement?" another person added.
"Should we notify the legal department to collect evidence?" someone else suggested.
Wang Zhi shook his head and smiled: "No need to take any action for the time being, let things develop for a while."
The reason why he was so calm was because he knew that Lu Bai had a killer weapon in his hand - a recording of the "Fireworks" team's meeting.
"Wait!" Wang Zhi suddenly called out to everyone who was about to leave, "Since they are doing the first grade of junior high school first, let's do the fifteenth grade and give them some color."
Ever since.

The popularity directly overshadowed the plagiarism of "Love is Camp".
The popularity of the topic continues to rise, and the whole Internet is hotly discussing Yangyang's "house collapse" incident.
At this time, the "Fireworks" team was in extreme panic.
Yangyang's agent was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running around trying to calm the turmoil, but to no avail. .
Yangyang himself was also seriously affected.
Now, his memes are everywhere on the Internet.
Even his ancient advertisements were uncovered.
