"Plagiarism, what's going on?" The editor-in-chief of Vitality Girl Weekly's face changed suddenly, as the editor-in-chief, why didn't she receive the news in advance of such a question.

Everyone was a little stunned, and the words that came out of the editor-in-chief's mouth were a very serious problem.

The editor-in-chief frowned and sent the information from his phone to the virtual screen.

After everyone read the above content, they were a little hesitant.

"Could the posts on the Internet be fabricated facts?"

Someone raised such a possibility, but soon the editor-in-chief shook his head and sighed: "This is what the public relations department has confirmed, and it should be a fact." ”

"That'...... We should have someone delete the post before contacting the poster......"

The deputy editor of Vitality Girl Weekly hesitated, she was worried that the content of the post would have a detrimental effect on the magazine, after all, a scandal involving plagiarism would have a very serious blow to the reputation of any magazine.

Now Vitality Girl Weekly as the main comic weekly of Mandao Club, the weekly publication is about 10 million, and it is one of the main profit projects of the club, if something goes wrong, there is a little impact, it will be a loss of more than 10 million.

"At this point, the relevant personnel of our society have launched an action and are contacting the poster, who is in charge of the author of "The Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch"?"

Although the editor-in-chief looks like a young urban woman on the outside, her current momentum completely suppresses everyone in the conference room, and her perennial position in the club has cultivated her superiority, and at the same time, the background of the big family makes her different from ordinary upper-level leaders.

Now when he is held accountable, under the expression that seems to be quite flat, the tone has become very cold, and the pretty side face contains a thin anger that may explode at any time.

The two editors-in-chief of the Vitality Girl Weekly both carried their hearts beating faster, and the editor-in-chief of Yuuki replied first: "It's a group of editors Shimizu Hiroshi." ”

"Let him pack his things and submit his resignation by himself!"

The editor-in-chief's voice is still so good, but what he says leaves no room for it.

No one dares to disobey her decision, besides, as the editor in charge of the comics, there is such a big omission in the work, so naturally he has to take the blame, and the club has not held him accountable personally, which is probably very merciful.

……

Shuke is an ordinary high school student in the ninth district, and he usually likes to surf the Internet, and he will click on any messy websites to see.

Today, when he was rummaging through his childhood playthings in his storage warehouse, he suddenly remembered that he had read some reports on the Internet that some people had turned up antique collectibles and other things from the basement or warehouse of his home.

Coincidentally, rummaging through the clutter actually led him to find the basement hidden under his warehouse, and he also found a pile of books and periodicals that had been piled up for an unknown amount of time from below.

It was a box wrapped in a tarp, open it and see, the box wrapped in a tarp was still covered with a layer of flannel, and when he untied the flannel in the box, there was a musty smell, it was full of some books and utensils, and at a cursory glance, there were hundreds of copies, which were placed in a large box, stacked neatly.

Shuck struggled to move the books out of the basement in batches, panting as he looked at the old books, even if they were wrapped in tarps, but had been corroded and worn out by time.

Because it is a paper book, most of the pages have been glued together, and if you open it with a little force, it will tear these old books, and some of the pages are not very tightly glued, and the ink inside has been blurred, and it is difficult to make out the handwriting.

"How long has this been around?"

Shuck wondered who had put the pile in, the books looked very old.

"Alas~ It's all books, these round things, it seems to be a CD used ten years ago, I didn't expect there to be this kind of thing in the basement of our house!"

He sighed, a little disappointed to himself, originally thought that he could find some valuable antiquities, but the result were some worthless books, as well as outdated CDs, now that wireless equipment is advanced, the CD has long been eliminated as a carrier used to record images, and there is no need to worry about insufficient bandwidth for direct network transmission.

The disc is definitely useless, although many books are soaked in moisture and can no longer be read, but there are still many well-preserved, Shuke cleaned up the things in good condition from this pile of debris, and found that they were actually some entertainment toys!

"Could it be the forbidden books that Daddy used to collect?"

Shuck looked at the books and rummaged through them with relish, and he actually pulled out a few single books that looked like comics.

"Huh, and comics!"

Shuck was pleasantly surprised to take out a few comics separately and wipe the smudge on the cover with a rag, but the pattern on them was blurred and he couldn't make out the name.

Among the books he found were mostly well-preserved imperial novels, mixed with some magazines and the like, and a few sets of comics, but most of the pages were glued together, and only a few of the comics he could still make out the patterns inside.

He was also exhausted, so he casually found a fairly clean place outside the warehouse, and sat down against the wall, in the shadow under the eaves, ready to see what happened to these cartoons that had been put in the basement by someone somebody.

Looking at the comic in my hand, although the outer skin is mottled, the paper inside is still not much damaged, and I can see the content of the image.

He had just turned a few pages, but it gave him a sense of immediacy, as if he had read a similar comic somewhere.

There are some yellowed papers in his hands, and the heroine in the image is dancing with a long sword in her hand, showing a faint dragon shadow behind her, which is very similar to a certain comic he once read.

Shuck only thought for a moment, and then remembered where he had seen similar works.

"Isn't this the Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch from the Vitality Girl Weekly!"

Shu Ke blurted out, and said where did he read this comic, it turned out to be "The Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch"!

Energetic Girl Weekly is also one of the three major magazines, and there are long serialized comics on it, and there is no small fame, just by seeing this comic, he thought of the comic on the magazine.

He had only read a little bit of "The Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch", and he hadn't read it, so he didn't realize which manga it was just now.

But then he wondered why the single book of "The Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch" had been put in that pile of things.

Just as he was wondering, his father's voice behind him came from far and near.

"Wow, where did you dig this bunch from!"

Daddy's came over from the courtyard and squatted down beside Shuke.

"Dad, did you put these cartoons in the basement?"

Shuke had never heard of a basement in his house, and if he hadn't come up with the idea today, he probably wouldn't have found out much later.

Shuke's father casually picked up a coloring page magazine from the ground that looked quite complete, and looked at it, the font inside was actually the text of the imperial era in the previous century, he shook his head and denied, "This is not my thing, why, you found these things from it?"

"Well, I found out when I was looking for something today. ”

"The basement, I haven't seen it in a long time, and it's been useless since the warehouse was built. ”

The basement, he remembered, had been a long time ago.

"Eh, you didn't put it in, could it be Grandpa?"

Shuke's grandfather has been dead for a few years, but Shuke didn't know there was a basement when he was about ten years old.

"That's not right, this "Dragon Witch's Sword Dance" is a comic of the past two years!"

"No, this isn't the Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch at all!"

He flipped through a few more pages, only to realize that although the characters in it resembled the dragon witch, they were still slightly different.

Is it plagiarism! No, no! No way, no matter how you look at it, it's a comic from decades ago, how to plagiarize a comic that is serialized now.

So, is "The Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch" plagiarizing this manga?

When he realized that this might be plagiarism, he almost reacted, these books may have been hidden by his grandfather during the federal ban period, and after a long time, even his grandfather himself forgot about it until he found out.

He immediately thought angrily that a cartoonist would use the comics destroyed in the Age of Empires as his own work to deceive current comic fans and earn a lot of remuneration......

No, I have to go online to expose the actions of this shameless cartoonist!

Thinking of this, Shuke went back to his room, logged in to the well-known comic forum, Longtian comic forum, uploaded the comic photos in his hand, and then compared them with pirated pictures of the online resource of "The Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch".

At the beginning, the content of the post attracted many onlookers, and they were shocked that someone actually took out a unique copy of the comic book that they treasured, and even found the same as the "Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch" in the current serialization!

However, soon the post was deleted.

Even his account in the forum was banned, which angered him, the Longtian Comics Forum was so domineering!

When he went to school, he was angry, and his table mates found that he was a little wrong, so they asked him, "You kid was bitten by a dog when he went out today?"

He glanced at his tablemate, and said in a muffled voice: "That dog's day Longtian Forum actually deleted my post and blocked my account!"

Then, he told the truth of the incident, and his table mates looked at him in shock, and said in disbelief: "Fake, I'm a dragon witch, this comic is plagiarized?"

"You don't believe it either?" Shuck was angry when he saw his friend's reaction, and pulled out an old comic book from his desk, "You read it yourself." ”

This manga is one of the best preserved, and even the name of the cover can be seen, which is called "Dragon Witch".

"How?"

Seeing his classmate staring at the cartoon in his hand in a daze, he asked indignantly.

The same table nodded helplessly, he was chasing the Dragon Witch, and he was very familiar with the plot and characters, this look at this old comic book, the content in it was extremely similar to the "Sword Dance of the Dragon Witch" he watched, which made people suddenly have the idea that this was plagiarism, and there is no doubt that the plagiarist is the one that is being serialized now.

Behind this "Dragon Witch" in the single book, there is a note that it was published in the imperial calendar in 2017, and now it is already a new federal calendar, and the comics of decades ago were actually plagiarized, if it weren't for Shuke digging it out of his basement, it is estimated that no one will find out in his life.

That way, maybe the plagiarists can swagger with the stolen work and continue to deceive their pure fans.

"I'll do it!"

He snorted fiercely, "You post this on your personal Weibo, and I'll reprint it for you!"

The duo's Weibo quickly attracted the attention of the staff of the Mandao Club, and they contacted them to request the deletion of the message, but this time it was different on the forum, and the Weibo quickly spread among the students' comic fan group.

At first, the Mandao Club, which only wanted to cover up the news, did not expect that the matter would develop on Weibo, if they had paid attention to this matter on the forum before, launched an investigation and announced the cutting of the plagiarized comics, maybe they would not be as accused of plagiarizing the magazine by many comic fans as they are now.

When the topic of "Age of Empires comics was changed and serialized in the Vitality Girl Weekly" on the Internet was promoted, more people became interested in Age of Empires entertainment works.

Many people posted their book collections found in their homes, and those who were interested began to compare these old entertainment works that still existed with the current works of the Federation.

There are really new discoveries, not only comics, but also novels, movies, games and other entertainment products, and works suspected of plagiarism have also been found.

These people who plagiarized entertainment works decades ago, and now some people are even famous in the entertainment industry, relying on his plagiarized works to bring rich profits.

Of course, such an incident has attracted more widespread attention, not only on the Internet, but even in the news media, such news has begun to be published.

"The Imperial Entertainment Culture Reappears in the Federation, and the results are remarkable!"

"Is this the entertainment era of the Federation, or the entertainment era of the Empire?"

"Resurrect the soul from the corpse and be reborn from the fire......"

……

Entertainment works like this that basically can't find the original author, there may not be a complete work in the world, and it is difficult to find out if it is renovated and published by a publishing house, and some people just exploit such loopholes and make a lot of money from this kind of ill-gotten gains.

You must know that the development of the entertainment market in the Federation is in full swing now, as long as you are an entertainer, you can make a good amount of money from it, and if the work is popular, its income is much higher than the average income of ordinary occupations.

For example, in an entertainment product such as comics, the income generated by one of the popular comics can bring the author dozens of times or even more money than ordinary work, and the author can live on these royalties for a lifetime by selling a single book and selling millions of royalties.

Many cartoonists have earned a fortune that others can't earn in a lifetime by publishing a single book.

So when the comic king was first serialized in the past, most cartoonists were dissatisfied with the 'gambler' in Xia Ziyu's comics.

The incident has been brewing, resulting in a publishing house in the comic book industry to all walks of life in federal entertainment, and for a while, many entertainment people with ghosts in their hearts are worried, worried that the next person to be found out will be themselves.

Even more worried about this matter are industry practitioners, Federal Entertainment has only been recovering for five years, and they are worried that the blow will be too big and affect future planning.

……

"Wow, Shuk, your blog has a huge following right now, you're famous!"

The class now basically knows that this time the Federation spread such a lively incident, it was actually Shuke who made it, and they all admired it greatly!

Shu Ke also felt a little dreamy all of a sudden, but in a few days, his Weibo was forwarded by major publishing houses and media companies, and even many celebrities were discussing, worried that the works he starred in might be suspected of plagiarism.

There are also entertainment magazines that have sent him private messages and interviewed him......
