Chapter 222: Plagiarism

After two rounds of elimination, with eight designers left to compete in Sky City, Ryan gave them a week to prepare new pieces and then invited more than a dozen of the industry's most prestigious designers to comment.

Zhong Qing's appearance order was arranged last, Ryan had the intention to let her show a work that could be eye-catching, Zhong Qing also thought that she was very well prepared, but she didn't expect that Song Ran, who was before her, prepared a long dress with a high degree of similarity to her work.

"This is my design, and I named it 'Girl's Dream.'" Song Ran introduced the pink long skirt in an atmospheric manner, revealing a slim dress with a little girlish playfulness, which perfectly shows the fantasy of the little girl about wearing dresses and high heels when she grows up.

The designers present nodded their heads and exchanged opinions with the people next to them.

"Sister, this dress is exactly the same as ours!" Mu Cheng was shocked, and even forgot to control the volume for a while: "Song Ran, she stole our creativity!" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the eyes present were focused, Mu Cheng covered his mouth, knowing that he was speechless for a while, and he didn't dare to look at Zhong Qing's face.

Song Ran turned her head and handed Zhong Qing a contemptuous look, as if she was showing off or mocking if she had successfully planned, Zhong Qing's hand on her knee silently clenched her fist, she didn't expect Song Ran to be so shameless that she dared to directly plagiarize her own work.

She dared to do this, which also proved that she had a convincing reason, Zhong Qing couldn't figure out what Song Ran was thinking when she got to the chassis, if she just wanted to defeat herself, she wouldn't choose such a risky way.

"Since this young lady said that I copied Director Zhong's design, why don't you bring your clothes and let everyone present compare them." Song Ran deliberately provoked.

"Okay." Zhong Qing stood up and faced Song Ran's provocation.

A model walked out of the backstage, the model was wearing a long dress designed by Zhong Qing, and after the model stood on the stage, the audience was in an uproar - the two almost identical dresses were not different at all except for slight differences in color.

"No wonder your people dare to say that, it turned out that it was a thief shouting to catch a thief." Song Ran said.

Plagiarism is even the most taboo thing in the design industry, especially on such an important occasion, two almost identical works are placed on the stage, all the designers present have heads and faces, Ryan sits in the main seat, and his face is even more ugly.

"My clothes were sent here for registration two days in advance, Zhong Qing, who copied whom, you know very well in your own heart."

Ryan's eyes fell on Zhong Qing, and he could prove Song Ran's words, but Ryan didn't expect that the muse he had been protecting and taking care of would be able to do such a thing.

Zhong Qing walked up to the catwalk under all the pressure, motioned for the model to stand under the headlights, then turned her head and said to Song Ran: "Although I don't know how Miss Song can be so sure that I copied you, what my assistant said just now is just like a shell." ”

As soon as Zhong Qing's voice fell, the clothes of the model next to her slowly changed color under the heat of the headlights, gradually darkening from the original light pink, Zhong Qing opened the button behind the skirt, and the longer skirt dragged down, dark red from dark to light, and there were a few shallow lines on the skirt, like a beautiful koi tail hem.

Ryan stood up, looking at Zhong Qing's creative and exquisite design, and couldn't help but sigh, Song Ran next to him widened his pupils and took a step back in disbelief.

"It's true that I'm the last to register my work, but it's definitely not because I'm plagiarizing, it's because I've been looking for environmentally friendly materials, plus this kind of paint that changes color when exposed to heat and embroiders dark threads in the hem of the skirt, so it will delay the time. Miss Song was too anxious to see it, but she just learned the outer skin and didn't see the content inside, right? ”

Song Ran seemed to have been slapped in the face, her face was hot and painful, in front of Zhong Qing's attention-grabbing "koi skirt", her childish dress was not worth mentioning at all!

How can this kind of dress get into the eyes of the judges?

"This ...... If it's just an appearance, could it be just a coincidence? The judge who said this was a person who was bought by Modern Times, although he said it a little unconscionable, but he really couldn't think of any other excuse for Song Ran.

Two almost identical dresses, one is just a dress with a more outstanding workmanship design, and the other is a surprise that has been made with great care, and it is clear which is higher and which is lower.

Ryan glanced at the judge seemingly nonchalantly, and then thought of what Gu Xiu had said before, he couldn't help but ponder, could it be that judge had anything to do with Modern Times?

Zhong Qing motioned for the model to turn around and face away from everyone, the skirt unfolded behind the model was beautiful, the bright rose red reflected the stripes, and the design full of oriental elements was simply indescribable beauty.

There is no doubt that Zhong Qing won this competition, and Song Ran became a laughing stock.

……

……

"What the hell are you going to do!"

After the exhibition, in a remote corner outside the venue, Song Ran counted the judges who should have voted for him, Modern Modern and Song Ran gave him a large amount of money in a joint venture, just to let him ensure that he could enter the finals with the advantage of first place, but he didn't expect that he not only failed, but also lost so badly.

"This kind of thing happened, what do you want me to do? Now that everyone knows that you have copied Zhong Qing, it is not easy for me to insist on keeping you in this situation! The judges are also well-known designers in the circle, and it must be uncomfortable to be accused by a junior like this: "Song Ran, you are a designer, you should know where the bottom line of our line is, I took a lot of effort to cover today's matter, you better be careful." ”

"Be careful of what? Be careful of her Zhong Qing? Song Ran said: "She took advantage of me!" Deliberately let me see that skirt for me to imitate, and she wanted to deliberately make me embarrassed in front of everyone! ”

"If you don't want to copy her mind, how can you be used by her?" The judges looked at Song Ran with disgust, how could this designer, who he once thought was very talented and talented, become like this? not only relied on plagiarized works to get to the top, but also did not admit that it was her own fault!

"You've disappointed me!"

Song Ran's face turned red, and she was so evaluated by her predecessors, she was disgraced.

"I'm sorry, I was so excited." Song Ran took a deep breath, changed her tone, and said, "The pressure is too great during this time, I am anxious, don't worry, this situation will never happen in the future." I'll go back and let the finance earn the rest of the money to your account, and then I'll make you a sum of money, thank you seniors for waking me up in time. ”

Hearing Song Ran mention the word "money", the judge's face softened, and he pretended to say a few words to Song Ran, who lowered his head and looked like he was obeying the teaching, and then bowed and sent the judge away.

Song Ran raised her head, with an extremely disgusted and resentful expression on her face, who could settle it with money, what qualifications did she have to say irresponsible things to her?

In the direction of the second floor behind Song Ran, Zhong Qing and Ryan saw the transaction between the two from beginning to end.

It's hard to believe that this old friend, who has known him for many years, would betray himself because of money, no wonder when they were discussing just now, everyone said that they would abandon Song Ran, and he was the only one who persuaded them to keep her with a long speech.

Ryan sighed, Modern Hyundai is the studio he had several contacts with when he was working abroad, and this time the project of Sky City was also because he was not clear about the Chinese market, and after several trade-offs, he accepted Modern Hyundai's proposal to help, but he didn't expect to be exploited.

It's no wonder that the designer has been using Song Ran's last design to remind everyone what an excellent talent she is, if you have to choose the last three people in this group to enter the finals, except for Zhong Qing, almost no one can compare to Song Ran.

Ryan thought that he was really thinking about the project of Sky City, but he didn't expect that he was doing it for his own money.

"Did you already know?"

"I don't know." Zhong Qing said: "It's just that thinking about the people who came into the backstage and locked me up at the last exhibition, I guessed that there might be internal staff to dredge up, but I didn't expect it to be this senior." ”

Ryan shook his head, and said helplessly and melancholy: "We are very good friends, I didn't expect him to do such a thing...... That Miss Song Ran, her design is very good, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

Ryan didn't say the rest, and Zhong Qing knew what he meant. There have been so many things happening to the optimistic designers one after another, and Song Ran's image in Ryan's eyes has plummeted, but unfortunately she is still unrepentant, and she still doesn't know that she did something wrong.

Now that the naked truth is in front of Ryan and Zhong Qing, all of Song Ran's small actions that he thinks he is smart are particularly ridiculous, and even the position of modern in Ryan's heart is also swaying.

Are the top fashion brands in China relying on these unsightly means to achieve today's success?

"What do you want to do?"

"In the end, there are three designers left, are you confident that you can defeat Song Ran?"

Zhong Qing smiled slightly, she understood what Ryan meant.

The recruitment for the Sky City project is about to be in the final stages, and if Ryan fires the judge at this time, it will not be good for everyone to get the word out, and for the sake of the big picture, he can only remain silent for the time being.

"I'm not going to lose to that kind of person." Zhong Qing's self-confidence has always been what Ryan admires the most, as an independent designer with character, he should be like Zhong Qing, fearless in the face of all difficulties.

Ryan stretched out his hand and said, "Then we'll wait and see what happens, and look forward to your final performance." ”
