Chapter 700. Who Exactly Plagiarized Who？
'The Lost Relative' was about to be released and people from all walks of life paid close attention to it with much anticipation. Tangning had plenty of box office appeal and the action film was a big production, so the 30-second trailer was already enough to amaze everyone, let alone a 2-hour feature film.
Everyone looked forward to April 21st, while fans showed their support through various methods. However, the day before the official release...
...an online post titled, ['The Lost Relative' confirmed as plagiarized material. All those in support of the film are accessories to the crime!'], attracted everyone's attention.
With the growing public awareness of copyright, most people now had a zero-tolerance attitude towards plagiarism. In the post, there was clear evidence that the 'The Lost Relative' copied a novel called 'The Tracker'. From the main storyline to the general structure of the story to the plot setting, everything was frighteningly similar. So, as soon as this post was written, it attracted quite an uproar.
"I can't believe it was plagiarized! How hateful! I originally wanted to watch it because of Tangning's acting, but the anticipation was all in vain."
"Plagiarism is a shameful act. Get rid of this film right away and don't embarrass yourselves!"
"Sorry, we have zero-tolerance towards plagiarism."
"Was Tangning aware of the plagiarism or not?"
"But...why have I never heard of 'The Tracker' before?"
