After listening to Jiang Yan's analysis, the director sighed, "I know this problem too, but when the author signed the contract with me, the only clause was that the original work could not be tampered with. If you have any questions, you should go and talk to the author yourself."

Jiang Yan didn't want to embarrass the director, so she asked him for the author's contact information and then took off her makeup and went back to the hotel.

The novelist only appeared when the actors read the script before filming began, but Jiang Yan was not there.

She is also a well-known figure on the Internet. She owns the copyrights of two or three IPs, and her book fans are more than Jiang Yan's fans, so she is quite arrogant and complacent.

After Jiang Yan added her, he first talked to her about Xiao Qianxue's character, then the road to revenge, and finally her ending. He euphemistically described the abrupt ending as a personal opinion. After all, she was the one who created the character, and Jiang Yan must give her the respect she deserves.

The person on the other side was very eloquent and agreed with Jiang Yan's words to a large extent. After chatting for a long time, he decided to change the ending according to Jiang Yan's request and said that he would discuss the matter with the director.

But just when Jiang Yan thought that the matter had come to an end, she became a hot topic again.

Jishi Muyouzhi: [Some people really dare to change the script just because they played a good role. She is a character in my writing, a character that I worked hard to portray! I don’t need some second-rate actor to teach me how to give her a perfect ending! If you don’t like the novel I wrote, don’t rely on your background to get into the crew through the back door! ]

The novel author posted on Weibo at around 1 a.m., and netizens who are night owls smelled something big and quickly pushed it to the top of the trending searches.

[I wipe the big melon? 】

【Come on, come on, do some reading comprehension. A while ago, she became famous for a drama. She is a female with two characters. She has a background and joined the group through the backdoor.... My family, I leave the rest to you! 】

[The only IP that our branch is currently filming is "Jiang Hu Lu", emmmmm, it's not hard to guess, right? ]

【jy?】

Jiang Yan was sleeping soundly at this time, but none of her fans were. Yan's fans rushed over after hearing the news, and first politely greeted Jiang Yan to remove her from the matter, and then found evidence to prove that Jiang Yan had nothing to do with the matter. But the author actually liked the comment that netizens guessed was from Jiang Yan.

The fans of the book were instantly furious. They denounced the author in the early hours of the morning, quarreled with the fans of the book, and reasoned with netizens.

Jiang Yan learned about this when she arrived at the crew. The director came to her angrily and asked her to apologize publicly online and personally ask for forgiveness from the author. The contract specifically stated that the author had the right to choose the actors. If the matter was not properly resolved, Jiang Yan would most likely be replaced.

Although Jiang Yan didn't care whether the director would be replaced or not, the filming had already been going on for more than half a month, and it would cost more money to find a new actor.

Jiang Yan found it ridiculous, and before she could say anything, the director stormed out in anger.

Jiang Yan opened the chat box from last night and found that she had been deleted by the author. Fortunately, the chat records were still there. However, Jiang Yan could guess that even if she sent them out, the other party would say they were forged.

What matters is whether netizens will believe it...

However, this was the only piece of evidence she had in her hand, so Jiang Yan decided to send it out immediately before things got any worse.

[You are the one who confuses right and wrong. You are worthy of being a novelist. The following is the chat record from last night. I guess my wife thinks that my reputation on the Internet is not very good, so netizens will trust you more. Thank you for keeping the chat record after the WeChat account was deleted. I will make it public to ask the judiciary to intervene if the content is fabricated. It is nine o'clock in the morning now. I will give you three hours to think about the apology. If you still don't apologize to me by twelve o'clock noon, we will see you in court @几时木有枝]

[Wow, are you so tough? Don’t forget that you are still acting in someone else’s TV series]

Jiang Yan: One thing for another

[I know that my sister is famous and she is prone to gossip. This confusing behavior is not the first or second time! ]

[Book fans said they really liked her novel, and I'm not the only fan who suggested changing Xiao Qianxue's ending. I don't think there's anything wrong with Jiang Yan's words.]

[You are saying one thing in public and another behind the scenes! If you disagree, just say it directly, why are you trying to be so shady!]

[Let’s not talk about anything else, do you want to respond to the backdoor? 】

Jiang Yan: My acting skills are my public transcript. Who did I squeeze out?

[I can't believe the author has such a character. In comparison, I'd rather believe him. 】

As netizens dug deeper, more and more negative information about her emerged. For example, she relied on her fame to bully and plagiarize newcomers' works, and often led her fans to cyberbully ordinary people. Some people even found out that she actually hired someone to write for her. At least half of "Jiang Hu Lu" was written by someone she paid. All these actions forced everyone to stand on the side of justice. This time, she shot herself in the foot.

When netizens were outraged, Su Su, the author of "Sitting and Watching the Clouds Rise", spoke up for Jiang Yan, praising her as a responsible and good actor. She also exposed her scandals as an insider, proving that she plagiarized her work. She later invited Jiang Yan to play the leading role in her new book.

In less than an hour, Jishimu Youzhi issued a bland apology statement.

Jishimuyouzhi: [First of all, I would like to apologize to Miss Jiang Yan here. I am sorry! Yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding. There is a dedicated staff member in charge of the WeChat account. I was furious when I learned about this incident, so I wrote the misleading text above. This staff member has now been fired. I have deeply reflected on my impulsiveness and recklessness. I once again sincerely apologize to Miss Jiang Yan. I am sorry! @姜颜]

[Good fellow, you didn’t mention a word about plagiarism and ghostwriting! ]

Jiang Yan: [I have read it. If there are any more rumors, I will pursue legal responsibility.]

It took less than a day for the incident to ferment. Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, Jiang Yan would ruin an author's reputation? But what surprised netizens even more was that Jiang Yan's next Weibo post was to announce his withdrawal from the group.

The director also learned about this news from the Internet. After learning about this, he immediately came to persuade her, "You have worked so hard in the past few days, it's a pity to leave now! Think about it carefully, don't affect your career for others!"

But Jiang Yan had made up her mind. Seeing that persuasion didn't work, the director resorted to force, "If you leave now, you'll be breaking the contract!"

Jiang Yan smiled and asked back: "If this matter is not resolved, will you fire me, director?"

The director was speechless for a moment. From both his personal and the crew's perspective, he would not keep an artist with a bad record in the crew.

She then said, "Public opinion has already been created. I'm sure you and I both know whether it's the staff's fault or not. The contract also clearly states that actors can leave the group if they suffer from internal factors. I can leave whether you agree or not. As for the remuneration, I'll take 20% of what we originally agreed on. You know, I can get more just based on my reputation rights."

And ever since Jiang Yan learned about the plagiarism incident, she had made up her mind to leave.

The director knew he was in the wrong, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to her decision.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan is currently filming action scenes, so it’s still not too late to find new actors now.
