Jiang Li’s attitude was firm, and no one else dared to say anything.
Looking at the sad faces of the crew, Jiang Li could only soften her stance and comfort them. “I’ll think of a way. Give me some time. I’ll revise the overall storyline with the screenwriter.”
“There are many similar themes overseas. As long as the main storyline has been modified and the storyline is different, there won’t be any problems.” As Jiang Li said this, everyone looked at her.
Although it did have a calming effect, everyone was still suspicious.
Did Jiang Li, a new producer, really have such ability?
However, before they could react, Jiang Li had already started discussing with the screenwriter.
The final decision was to postpone the shooting for three days.
During these three days, Jiang Li and the scriptwriter would revise the overall sequence of the story together.
Jiang Li did not say anything. She only wanted to shoot a good work.
Wang Hai could not sit still. Jiang Li’s words constantly lingered in his mind. In addition to Jiang Man’s hesitation towards the live production at that time, it made Wang Hai suspicious.
Could Jiang Man really be qualified to be the screenwriter?
Wang Hai became more and more uneasy. He simply went to inquire about Jiang Li’s production team’s progress.
When he heard that Jiang Li and the others had postponed the shooting, Wang Hai’s eyes shone with fanaticism.
“Jiang Li, this is the opportunity that you guys gave me. Don’t blame me for being impolite!”
At the same time, in the studio of the production team, Jiang Li saw the director rushing in. “This is bad. Director Jiang, Wang Hai said on Weibo that we plagiarized them.”
Jiang Li frowned and immediately took out her phone to take a look.
It was one thing for Wang Hai to say that they plagiarized, but he was also deliberately trying to show off. He said that this work was the painstaking work of their main creative team and that he did not want to see his work plagiarized.
After all, he was a famous director in the industry. It was one thing for a group of fans to pour into the comments section to support him, but there were also some industry insiders who forwarded it and stood up for Wang Hai.
All of a sudden, the crew’s official Weibo private messages and comments section were filled with criticism.
The director was even more anxious. “What should we do, Director Jiang? We haven’t even started filming and it’s already like this. There won’t be any good results even if it’s released. Could I really be a box office poison…”
At the end of his sentence, he was clearly in doubt of himself.
Jiang Li was not anxious. She turned around and asked the screenwriter, “How much more time do we need to finish it?”
The screenwriter looked at the time and gritted his teeth to give her a time. “30 minutes, no less than that.”
“Alright, after 30 minutes, we’ll check together to see if there are any traces of the previous story. However, there’s something more important to deal with now.”
Jiang Li smiled mysteriously and turned his gaze to the director.
30 minutes later, Jiang Li and the director confirmed the final plot. Then, Jiang Li logged into the official Weibo and publicly responded to the plagiarism issue.
“Plagiarism? You’ll know once we shoot it! @WangHai” Her reply was filled with disdain and Wang Hai was about to explode from anger when he saw it.
Just as he was thinking about how to respond, the director’s Weibo post pushed the heat of the entire incident to its peak.
“The lawyer’s letter is as follows. We will deal with those who incite a war of words maliciously.”
Not only was there a lawyer’s letter, but what shocked everyone was that there was a string of IDs following it. They were the ones who had scolded Jiang Li and their crew the most in the comments section previously.
Not only that but there was also a string of IP addresses following these IDs.
In an instant, the Weibo trending topics were almost all news about these two movies.
Wang Hai watched for a long time, but he did not know how to respond.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and forward the lawyer’s letter on Weibo. “We’ll see!”
Although the director was not as famous as Wang Hai, he still had some connections in the industry. At the moment, a portion of people had started to speak up for the director.
This public opinion war disappeared very quickly. The only beneficiary was Jiang Li’s movie, which had not been publicized before.
Wang Hai watched as the number of fans on Jiang Li’s movie’s official Weibo increased, and he took a quick-acting heart-saving pill on the set.
As for Jiang Li, everything was ready now, so the filming time was finally set.
However, there was one more thing that made the people on the set and netizens very curious.
That was… Why was the response on Weibo so fast this time? Those IP addresses could only be announced in half a month in the past, but this time, it only took half an hour!
After the director heard their discussion, he quietly looked at Jiang Li.
Their Director Jiang was very powerful!
Perhaps this time, he really could rely on Jiang Li to get rid of the name of ‘box office poison’.
