Chapter 3087

"Original content is rare in the self-media industry, just like……" Sun Zeli knew Zheng Lao Ban wasn't familiar with this field, so she wanted to find an example.

"Just like online novels, pirated copies are everywhere." Zheng Ren laughed.

"Yeah, that's right." Sun Zeli said, "In the self-media industry, 99.9% are shameless plagiarists with no bottom line; they don't do original work, they just grab whatever hot topic they see. Taking quotes out of context, catching wind and shadow, stirring emotions, spouting nonsense, making things up—traffic is everything they pursue."

After hearing Sun Zeli say that, Zheng Ren felt her emotions were a bit off; she must have dealt with self-media before, and maybe her manuscript was directly "cited" by them.

As for whether they've turned black into white, that's hard to say. Judging by her appearance, they probably have.

"These are still okay; the most hateful are a bunch of people who don't write anything at all and get something for nothing. One account isn't enough for them; they register countless sockpuppets, copying from start to finish, each sockpuppet promoting the same thing."

"Taking quotes out of context and directly reprocessing the needed heat is the most terrifying."

Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun and Sun Zeli were explaining this matter from two different angles.

"Sun reporter, you're being too casual." Su Yun came back at this point; after hearing a few sentences she knew what Sun Zeli was saying, and he continued, "Just that video—now there are even grotesque remix versions, plus a version compared to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and another compared to Final Destination. It's well done; want to take a look?"

Why does it spread so fast? In the new situation of online society, everyone not only has a big account but also a small one. A video, an article—afterwards they get shamelessly reposted, regardless of who the original creator is.

There are pictures and text; even the comparison Su Yun mentioned with an American horror film has come out. And the promotional power of the grotesque comparison version is not small either—after all, young people like it, and when they share it, it spreads fast.

This might be a shameless hint, or maybe it's just for entertainment.

Nobody cares what the truth is; everyone just has a melon-eating, entertainment-seeking, gossip-watching mindset. Now it's mealtime, so it might be a bit better; if it were a few hours later, who knows how this would spread.

"Here, this is the grotesque version." Su Yun found a video and handed the phone to Zheng Ren.

The video is split-screen; one side shows the scene from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 where a surgeon saws off his leg and crawls out, the gore and violence taken to the extreme.

The other screen shows a clip of the patient crawling toward the door of the operating room.

Put together, the subconscious makes one realize that the scene in the operating room is exactly like that from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And that patient, struggling with all their strength to crawl out and escape death, is a fortunate miracle amidst misfortune.

Moreover, comparing them, the fresh blood streaming from the patient's eyes is especially shocking, sending chills down one's spine.

Furthermore, several versions have done PS processing on this, making the originally crude phone-recorded video's lighting and shadows even darker and more terrifying, also more like a scene from a thriller.

Damn, with this skill and this good sense of visuals, not going into the film industry would be a waste.

"You see? It was already pretty sensational; with this kind of spread, what do you say public opinion is like?" Su Yun chuckled and said.

"Rights protection." Zheng Ren said helplessly.

"Rights protection? Traffic is money! Without a strong relevant department stepping forward, who would want such a big news story to be directly wiped out?" Su Yun said contemptuously, "As for plagiarism, they say, copying you is giving you face—don't you dare give face and then lose it."

"……"

Zheng Ren was speechless.

"Sun reporter, according to your experience, how should we handle this?" Su Yun asked.

"We can only turn to the relevant authorities."

"What if the situation could be reversed?"

"A reversal?" In Sun Zeli's mind there was no such option as a reversal; she immediately started pondering.

After a little over a minute, Sun Zeli gave a wry smile and said, "No matter what reasons the Medical University Affiliated Hospital has, Hua Shi TV definitely won't air it, but a local station might be interested in doing a feature."

"Capital TV?"

"I'll ask, but Yun Ge'er, are you sure you can turn this around? If not, when they come, they'll film the video, and then……"

The following words Sun Zeli didn't say, but the meaning is already clear.

Su Yun shrugged, said nothing, and just looked at Zheng Ren.

"Go ahead, I trust Dahungya on this." Zheng Ren said, "Leave professional matters to professionals."

"Boss, that's a bit too hasty. If it fails, it'll be your own face that gets dragged through the fire—being roasted over a pit isn't pleasant, think again?" Su Yun said.

"Or let Xiao Sun handle it herself first; if she can turn it around, give it to Capital TV, if not……" Zheng Ren hesitated, looking at Sun Zeli.

"Zheng Lao Ban, no need to be polite, I'll just ask." Sun Zeli gave a dry laugh; she currently has no mood at all. Especially seeing Su Yun's comparison video on her phone, she simply doesn't want to stay in the hospital for even a minute.

This place is hardly where one saves lives and heals the wounded—it's practically hell on earth!

If Zheng Lao Ban weren't here, she'd probably have left already. This matter has nothing to do with her; no matter how much trouble it causes, it's irrelevant to her.

But Zheng Lao Ban spoke up; one should always do things wholeheartedly. I'm currently working on a 5G remote surgery special, and I really hope Zheng Lao Ban can cooperate and show his face. Besides setting aside ulterior motives, Sun Zeli approves of Zheng Lao Ban; she believes he definitely wouldn't sacrifice morality to mistreat patients.

"Stir public outrage, everyone fills with righteous indignation—that's exactly the heat they want. Whether the facts matter or not is irrelevant; once attention is up, that's the way to go." Su Yun shook her head at this point, not knowing what other related information she had seen again.

Zheng Ren also couldn't be bothered to look anymore; he sighed, sat silently in the chair, seeing Sun Zeli go make a call, he also felt a bit uneasy.

Will Dahungya actually be able to pull it off?

Can I believe the words of a medical disturbance? Am I being too odd? But Zheng Ren compared the System Panel and felt he might think Big Pig Trotter hadn't given the proper diagnosis, so he stubbornly thought it was just a trick.

Plus Dahungya said it with extreme certainty, without any hesitation, that's why I believed him.

"Boss, are you familiar with hematohidrosis?"

"I know, but I don't know much about it; I've never seen it before." Zheng Ren said, "Moreover, I don't think the patient has hematohidrosis. Are you saying it's magic?"

"No, that can't be; magic tricks are done with slight of hand and changes of light and shadow. Look, the patient is now shedding bloody tears—I don't think so."

The two started a new round of brainstorming, trying to figure out what was really going on.

At that moment, Dahungya drove off the highway toll plaza, called Zheng Ren, and said he would arrive soon.
