Chapter 723
So, under the instigation of Simstar Entertainment, things started to go downhill really fast.
The heat on Star Movie group was through the roof on the internet. But for hours, the company didn’t make a
peep.
Netizens started having a field day with it.
“Looked like they got spooked. They just wanted some attention, didn’t expect Simstar Entertainment actually to
clap back.” “They’ve hit a brick wall this time.”
“Don’t Star Movie group feel awkward? If they’ve pissed off Simstar Entertainment, they might face a hard time in
this circle.”
By four in the afternoon, as soon as the clock struck, Maja had Zoey fire up Twitter and challenged Funfly again,
demanding that she reveal her script purchase records.
At this point, Funfly was hell–bent taking down Maja, so she didn’t hesitate to spill the beans on when she bought the
scripts.
But days before she bought these scripts, Maja had already applied for copyright protection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a sly smile, Maja watched as Funfly’s post trended again. Seeing many netizens supported Simstar
Entertainment, she told Zoey, “Compile the evidence and post it on our account. We’ve got enough eyeballs on us
now.”
Zoey’s eyes lit up. She quickly screenshot the time of the copyright application and published her chat records with
Funfly.
[Ms. Darcy, we’ve bought the scripts and all the copyrights. Simstar Entertainment can’t use them.]
[Buzz off, we Simstar Entertainment bought the scripts.]
[Ms. Darcy, we bought the scripts first. If there are any problems later, you’ll have to deal with them.]
[Simstar Entertainment can handle the consequences.]
This was the full conversation between Zoey and Funfly, evidence enough to prove that Simstar Entertainment
insisted on using the scripts, knowing full well they were already bought.
Netizens were still having a laugh at their expense, but when they saw the solid evidence provided by The Star
Movie group, they immediately hushed up. Clearly, the copyright application date was earlier than Funfly’s purchase
date, and that was a date Funfly herself made public. There was no way it was faked.
So what’s the deal now?
Everyone was watching the situation, but then Maja dropped a recording of her conversation with Funfly.
“I have all your work in my hands. I’m just telling you, all your work from The Star Movie group won’t be approved!”
The recording had Maja’s name bleeped out, but it was enough to prove that Funfly was abusing her power to bully
others.
Next, Maja started an official account and got it verified as the CEO of Star Movie Group.
The moment the account was created, it gained 50,000 followers.
Maja herself posted a tweet: These scripts were bought together with the original authors, and we already applied
for copyright protection. We informed Simstar Entertainment and stressed that they would be responsible for future
problems. Ms. Darcy herself replied that Simstar Entertainment could handle the consequences. Now, the scripts
we submitted ended up in Ms. Darcy’s hands. I want to ask, does Ms. Darcy have the power to influence the
approval process? Ms. Darcy is just the boss of an entertainment company, and she shouldn’t have the power to
influence national–level approval content, right? How did the content we filmed end up in her hands? I want an
explanation from Ms. Darcy and from the approval team.
The evidence provided by The Star Movie group was shocking and clear, even including audio evidence.
Netizens stopped slinging mud at The Star Movie group and started raising questions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIndeed, how did the content submitted by The Star Movie group end up in Funfly’s hands? Clearly, Funfly had some
connections inside and had intercepted the content, even threatening to fail their approval. Was the standard for
approval decided by capital?
Seeing that her post had sparked public discussion, Maja, with a smile, posted a second tweet: The Star Movie
Group is just a small company with limited influence. We just wanted to ask the approval team a few questions. Do
you have any deal with Ms. Darcy? Do you have the right to give our submitted content to irrelevant parties? Will all
our future content really fail to pass the approval? If so, where’s the fairness?
These questions escalated the conflict. It was no longer just about two companies but about Funfly colluding with
the approval team for unfair competition.
Funfly thought she had it in the bag, never expected Maja to pull out such evidence, leaving her no way to argue!
She took a deep breath, wanting to hire more internet trolls, but then got a call from the approval team.
“Ms. Darcy, stop messing with The Star Movie group, or our entire approval team will get fired.”
Funfly’s face turned ashen. The approval team had connections with some officials. If things really blew up, no one
would come out unscathed.
But The Star Movie group wasn’t scared. After all, this only involved Simstar Entertainment and the approval team.
Funfly was fuming. How could she let a nobody get the best of her?
