Chapter: 1081
Observing the chaotic atmosphere, Theodore coldly commented, "It's really noisy."
Playfully teasing him, Ariana said, “You insisted on coming along, so you'll have to bear with the noise."
Theodore looked at Ariana, his eyes holding a hint of grievance.
After all, he had come here to be with her.
Unable to resist his pitiful expression, Ariana softly covered his ear with her hand and leaned in to give him a gentle kiss. She comforted him in a soothing voice, "It's okay, we'll leave soon. Just endure a little longer.”
Theodore concealed his emotions behind a faint smile as he nodded in agreement.
Soon after, the Q&A session with fans and media commenced.
A daring journalist Lifted his microphone and inquired, “Mr. Spears, this film seems to bear striking resemblances to ‘Deep Burial'. Many scenes, plotlines, and character setups appear quite similar. Are these resemblances merely coincidental?"
The unexpected question took everyone by surprise, and subtle shifts in their expressions could be seen. The journalist's question implied an accusation of plagiarism.
When faced with the accusation, Jayson responded coolly, “It's clear that ‘Deep Burial’ is a love story at heart, while ‘The Missing Body’ hinges on its suspenseful narrative. They're different at their core."
Despite his explanation, the journalist pressed on, "But the suspense elements in both are strikingly similar."
With a tinge of sarcasm, Jayson retorted, “Perhaps that's a question better posed to the ‘Deep Burial’ team. They may have premiered earlier, but our production kicked off first. It'd be interesting to know why their suspenseful story aligns so closely with ours.”
His response hinted at plagiarism on ‘Deep Burial's' part, but it wasn't convincing enough to change minds, especially considering ‘The Missing Body' was released much later.
Emboldened by the initial question, other journalists jumped in, their doubts echoing through the hall.
“Then why did ‘Deep Burial’ debut first?"
“Considering the Limited interaction between the two production teams, how did such resemblances occur?"
As the questions grew in intensity, the atmosphere turned sour. Fans in attendance were far from pleased. They'd come to cheer on their idols, not to witness a barrage of accusations. Some fans Lashed out, hurling sarcastic comments at the media. The tension in the room was palpable.
At some point, restraint was thrown to the wind, and a chaotic brawl broke out.
“You started it!"
"No, you did!"
