Translator: Doggotranslation

The winner of the golden award was a handsome man, who was also a little bit gay. His name was Xiao Yuanxie. No one knows why, it seemed that many male designers in this industry all looked a little bit gay, maybe it was the bad influence brought by those Hollywood movies.

Today was the best day of Xiao Yuanxie’s life. After he won this international golden award, he would soon receive all kinds of attention from all kinds of investors. Creating a brand and setting up a company would be simply a matter of time. Even if he returned to China, you would still receive a lot of attention like those popular stars.

Right now, he was accepting interviews from many media ‘coyly’. He believed that tomorrow, he would definitely be able to occupy the headlines of various fashion magazines.

It was originally a great thing, but it was messed up by one of the contestants.

Liu Ying admired Xiao Yuanxie very much. As a designer, who was also from China, she was very proud that her countryman would be able to win such an international award. And this man was both brave and innovative. He actually displayed his work in animation. This idea was very amazing.

“Mr. Xiao, congratulations.”

Liu Ying smiled sincerely, and Xiao Yuanxie also gave a very gentle response, showing a friendly fellowship in front of the camera. However, what Liu Ying asked next made Xiao Yuanxie’s face instantly changed, “Mr. Xiao, you are very creative and brave. You even released your designs in animation before your design works entered the competition. If other contestants had seen this animation and copied your designs, you would have suffered huge losses. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yuanxie suddenly showed a panic expression, but it quickly disappeared and his face quickly returned to normal, “Hahaha, it doesn’t matter if they are copied by other people, as long as these lovely works can get the evaluation they deserved, I will be satisfied. Now if you excuse me, I still have a few magazine covers that need to shoot... ”

After that, Xiao Yuanxie left in a hurry.

Xiao Yuanxue’s explanation was accepted by Liu Ying at the beginning and she did not think too much about it. And as she had expected, after returning to China, Xiao Yuanxie’s popularity was increasing like a rocket. He even became one of the most popular designers in the industry.

Then all kinds of information about his past were dug up by reporters. However, it didn’t mention anything about his cooperation with Qin Zhuan studio anywhere in the information collected by the reporters. And the animation studio also didn’t seem to want to promote itself through Xiao Yuanxie’s fame.

This was not normal.

Liu Ying didn’t understand the animation industry, but since it was in the entertainment industry, they definitely wanted popularity and fame, right? Having one top designer in the team should be something that they should be proud of. But why did no one from Qin Zhuan studio say anything? And even the reporters also couldn’t find the relevant news. The most important thing was that Xiao Yuanxie himself didn’t seem to talk about cooperation in any place.

At this point, Liu Ying finally felt that something was amiss, so she contacted Qin Zhuan Studio by phone. At that time, the studio had already been established and had its own webpage, so it was easy to find the contact information. It was just that the people who worked in Qin Zhuan studio were not the people who made the animation variety show.

Liu Ying mainly wanted to check whether the costumes in “the Little Muli’s incredible maze” were designed by Xiao Yuanxie. However, this was not the question that the people, who currently worked in Qin Zhuan studio, were able to answer.

Who knows who the designer was? Apart from Zhou Yu, they have not even met with anyone from the original studio, not to mention the designer.

Helplessly, this problem was passed on to Zhou Fu, the manager of the amusement park.

Zhou Fu was also very confused. ‘What fashion designer? Isn’t it just an animation, and those clothes just look pretty. There are people, who are even interested in this?’

“Hello, what is the reason for your inquiry? Is it because our design is similar to yours? If this is the case, we can sit down and talk more in detail. ”

Zhou Fu thought that it was probably someone from Boy Yu’s animation studio, who had used other people’s designs, and now the original designer was calling to ask for some compensation. If it was just general clothes design, it wouldn’t be a big deal at all. But the problem was that there was a costume production project in the currently proposed commercialized projects. The clothes of the twelve adventurers could all be sold as goods.

This was a big problem.

At this moment Zhou Fu was still whining in his mind. This Boy Yu was too careless. Why didn’t he tell him that his animation had used other people’s ideas? Now that the original designer had found them, he did not even know how much he would need to pay for this legal dispute.

“No, no, no, I just want to confirm if the costume designer is called Xiao Yuanxie?”

Thinking that it could be a serious issue, Zhou Fu could only go to find Zhou Yu. But at this time, Zhou Yu had already entered the studio to make the second season of the variety show. So through a small window on the door, he heard Zhou Yu say, “Who is Xiao Yuanxie? The costumes in this animation were made by a dozen designers. And there was no one called Xiao Yuanxie.”

Zhou Yu said with certainty. Although the first season of the show was finished a while ago, and he did not ask who the designers of those contestants’ clothes were, there was one thing he was certain of, it was that the designers were definitely not someone from the real world.

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he went back to shoot the second season of the show, and Zhou Fu also realized the problem and quickly got in touch with Liu Ying again, “Miss Liu, the costumes in our animation were by a dozen designers, and among them, No one is called Xiao Yuanxie. Would you mind telling me what exactly happened?”

Liu Ying was shocked when she heard it. Then she told Zhou Fu that the designs of these clothes had won the international design golden award.

No wonder an unknown designer could suddenly come up with so many talented works. No wonder the design styles of these works were completely different. It turned out that those designs were made by different designers. That shameless Xiao Yuanxie, how can he copy other people’s work like that!?

Wait, wait, calm down, calm down, maybe the animation studio stole Xiao Yuanxie’s design draft?

Liu Ying was in a dilemma. She didn’t know if she should expose this information. But Zhou Fu could not calm down at all.

What the fuck!? Golden Award!

Zhou Fu used to be a soldier, and his obsession with honors and awards was not a joke. Now that his own works have been copied by other people, and the person even won the award using his works? He was furious.

This shameless motherfucking thief!

Zhou Fu absolutely believed Zhou Yu. If Boy Yu said it was not that Xiao Yanxie guy, then it definitely would not be that Xiao Yanxie guy! Moreover, the first season of the show has been released for some time, it was definitely earlier than that competition, so that person must have copied the costumes in the animation.

There was no way that Zhou Fu would ignore this thing. He was someone who hated cheating the most in his life, so he definitely would not let this Xiao Yuanxie guy off easily.

As a result, a war of words officially began.
