Chapter 332 - 331: Ying’er’s Trouble
Returning to the classroom, Su Yang immediately took out his phone to check up on Ying’er’s situation.
Upon opening the search engine, he didn’t even need to look for the information, as the top headlines were already being pushed to his side.
"Popular actress accused of plagiarism, a vase with a filthy heart?"
Su Yang clicked open the article, which reported on Ying’er’s participation in the all-star singing competition. The article pointed out that Ying’s original song, submitted for the contest, was suspected of plagiarizing a well-known composer’s music.
And this well-known composer happened to be the dedicated songwriter for Ying’er’s archrival. Hence, that side was now tenaciously holding on to the issue, blowing it out of proportion and spreading everywhere that Ying’er had looks but no ethics, and that she lacked creativity but specialized in copying and stealing others’ works.
Su Yang scrolled through many reports, all unilaterally accusing Ying’er. After all, the accusations of plagiarism had become an established fact. And since Ying’er’s popularity had recently skyrocketed, the incident had been blown up significantly, with nearly half of all entertainment reports being related to this matter.
Many well-known actors, singers, composers, and directors came out in support of that composer. Even worse, they dug up some of Ying’er’s past, talking about how she was a prima donna with poor ethics and disliked by many.
The most infuriating thing was that a third-rate actor from nowhere, parading his horse-face, boldly claimed to have had an underground romance with Ying’er. He then directly accused Ying’er of promiscuity in her private life, saying he could not bear her infidelity and had painfully broken up with her.
This minor actor, originally just an insignificant extra, gained sudden fame through this scandal. Some producers even clamored to make a movie reflecting the scandalous lives of certain actresses in the entertainment industry, with Ying’er’s story as a backdrop. They even invited this minor actor to play the leading role, which was practically a slap in Ying’er’s face!
Of course, the Shangguan family also did quite a bit of work regarding this matter. However, while the Shangguan family had some reputation in Pingnan Province, it wasn’t the same nationally.
Ying’er’s archenemy hailed from a prominent family in Pingbei Province, holding similar status to Ying’er. That family was now fully supporting Ying’er’s archrival with the backing of other families as well. Coupled with the highly entertaining nature of the incident, the news simply couldn’t be suppressed.
