The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 248 - The story


Chapter 248: Chapter 248 The story

Translator: Doggotranslation 

The enigmatic Zhou Yu and the conscientious Beidou and Qin Zhuan studios. In order to produce an animation, they actually invited a great designer that was capable of winning awards to design clothes for an animation. It made people wonder how much money they have actually invested in this show. But no matter what, this extremely ridiculous thing could only be done by Zhou Yu, this kind of rich Otaku.

After the shock, there was indignation at the plagiarism. Nowadays, it was not really a surprise to see someone copy someone else’s idea. However, even if he wanted to copy, at least copy it from someone in the fashion circle, not an animation studio. After all, he was a professional fashion designer.

As more and more people started to get angry, this exposing post quickly went viral.

Listening to the uncle Fu’s description, Zhou Yu could roughly imagine how popular this exposing post was. After all, Beidou and Qin Zhuan studios’ reputations were very big in the animation and comic circles. Their abilities to rally supporters were not small at all. Countless hardcore Otakus would be happy to fight for the two studios.

To them, this was going to be very fun. After all, the conflicts between the fashion circle and animation circles were very rare.

Alas, Beidou and Qin Zhuan studios are such two awesome studios. Who knows that the designers who worked for them would be this great. Their works could even win the intentional fashion design awards. Who knows what other talented people do they still have. If one day a few more extremely talented people came out from those two studios, it would not surprise anyone anymore.

But since they could have fun with this incident, of course, people would not miss it.

“Uncle Fu, what did you do afterward?”

Zhou Yu knew that the original designers of those clothes could not appear in the real world. So without them, uncle Fu could not do anything to that Xiao Yuanxie person. Listening to this story was almost like reading a novel. According to the general story progression, the face-slapping part was about to happen, and Zhou Yu was quite looking forward to it.

Zhou Fu glared at him and said in dissatisfaction, “It’s all your fault, if you had told me the value of these costume designs earlier, we wouldn’t have to go through all those troubles.”

It was really cold. Although they were staying in a beach shop that hasn’t actually opened yet, the cold winds were blowing in from all directions, which made Zhou Fu feel even colder. Helplessly, he made a phone call and asked the people in Tung Fook mansion to bring some hot soup to the pavilion immediately. After all, this story was very long.

Looking at the anticipation in Zhou Yu’s eyes, Zhou Fu couldn’t help but have a wry smile on his face, “Can you at least treat it seriously? Do you think that this is some fiction story? Tell me clearly, do your designers really not mind that their works have been stolen by other people? Do they really not want to come forward?”

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu still shook his head. No matter how many times he had asked him this question, the answer was still the same.

Helplessly, Zhou Fu could only continue to talk about the boring cyberwar that happened some time ago, while his legs were shivering in cold.

After the incident was exposed by netizens and caused a huge uproar on the internet, it quickly occupied the headlines of various media. Although the designer had indeed won the award and became a very popular designer in the fashion world, the evidence of plagiarism was also very strong.

After all, the broadcast time of “the little Muli’s incredible maze” was much earlier than that competition. Considering the difficulty of the animation production, these costume designs had definitely been completed much earlier than the actual animation production.

Suddenly, all kinds of questions and condemnations were thrown at Xiao Yuanxie, and various media were constantly going after him, making him run everywhere like a stray dog without a home. However, what made Xiao Yuanxie a little relieved was that although reporters were constantly going after him, the animation studio did not make any statement, and it seemed that they did not intend to pursue it.

Although he didn’t know why he was let off lightly, as long as the studio did not pursue it, he could ignore everything else. At worst, he could escape to the other countries for a period of time. With the winner of the international fashion design golden award this title, he would still be successful outside China.

An intellectual property war that netizens thought would happen, did not happen. In a weird silence, the players on both sides maintained absolute restraint and did not make any response.

The best way to deal with the scandal was to keep mouth shut, so Xiao Yuanxie’s approach was understandable, but why did those two studios also stay in silence. There were copyright infringement and huge economic losses. Were they going to let the plagiarist off easily?

A few days later, while people were still talking about it, the studio finally posted a statement expressing its attitude. The main point was that since it has already happened, it was useless to pursue legal actions. They just wish Mr. Xiao Yuanxie would have a great future. In the future, the studio would pay more attention to the protection of their intellectual properties and prevent such things from happening again.

So they really just let him off like that?

Not only the netizens, but Zhou Yu was also stunned. This was not the uncle’s Fu usual style. Although there was no legal action they could use to punish Xiao Yuanxie, uncle Fu definitely would not be scared of him. He would definitely use other methods to deal with him. Xiao Yuanxie definitely didn’t know that the original designers would not come forward, so what he was doing right now was just just a bluff.

What Zhou Yu thought was right, if they took the legal action, Qin Zhuan studio would be in a bad position. And Xiao Yuanxie definitely would not take legal action even more because he was indeed a plagiarist. So the situation right now was best described as both parties did not dare to take any legal actions, but both parties also did not want to back down.

It was in a complete stalemate.

However, unexpectedly, Qin Zhuan backed down first and showed no intention to pursue the matter. The moment when Xiao Yuanxie saw this statement, he felt like had just escaped his death. The fear of his reputation would be completely ruined made him sleepless for many days, and now he was finally relieved.

In tears, Xiao Yuanxie cried out aloud in his messy studio. However, if crying can offset sin, why do we need a legal system?

Most importantly, Zhou Fu was not a kind-hearted person.

Sure enough, Zhou Fu sneered and said, “there is no way that it would be that easy. After the plagiarism scandal came out, that person was not able to prove that he was innocent. There was no way that he would be able to stay in the fashion circle in china anymore. So I guessed that he would definitely want to run to other countries and continue to work in the fashion circle using the fame he had stolen from us. So I contacted some media friends and took the matter to some fashion media abroad. ”

Uncle Fu was truly ruthless. He wanted to end this guy’s career.

As he said this, the chubby chef finally delivered the hot soup from the Tung Fook Mansion. After the various training in “Fun Recipes”, his cooking skills have improved a lot. Although he now knew many dishes, the dish that he cooked the best was still the fish soup, which was also the dish that Zhou Fu liked the most.

Coupled with steam buns, Uncle Fu could eat a lot of them.

Zhou Yu did not like to drink fish soup, so he only ate some steamed buns and fried noodles, and then urged Zhou Fu to complete the story. At this moment, Zhou Yu’s children were all sitting at the dinner table waiting for the next part of the story. Only the third Dragon Prince was looking at the fish soup while drooling.

Although Zhou Yu did not like troubles, he did not hate listening to other people having trouble. In short, it could be said that he may be a little bit sadist.

After eating and drinking enough, a hot soup finally warmed up Zhou Fu’s body, and as he lit up a cigarette, he continued to talk about what happened later on.
