Ding Muyun had her own plan. Since they had decided to expose the truth at the art exhibition, it was obvious that they needed to invite more reporters to make a greater impact.
If there were only some small - scale media on - site, Mu Yuze could easily buy them off with some money and get them to keep their mouths shut and not leak the story.
However, the media she had invited were different. They would report everything truthfully no matter what happened.
Once it was discovered that there was solid evidence of plagiarism at such an art exhibition, it was very likely to stir up a huge public outcry. Just as she was thinking this way, several of her girlfriends came over and placed a stack of photos in front of her, asking, "Don't you think these paintings are extremely similar?"
Ding Muyun took a glance and said, "This is not just similarity. They are practically identical!"
The girlfriends had browsed some foreign websites on the Internet and found that several paintings on those websites were highly similar to the photos Ding Muyun had brought.
Ding Muyun took a closer look and realized that saying the similarity was 90% was even being too lenient.
The details, composition, and colors were almost exactly the same. It was completely clear that they were plagiarized from this foreign website.
Ding Muyun finally said with satisfaction, "As I thought, her works are plagiarized. She dared to copy so blatantly!"
"The foreign painter is quite well - known, but rather niche in China. I guess Lu Xue chose to copy her paintings precisely because of this. Look at the paintings she's going to exhibit this time. They are all copied from the same person. She copied a dozen paintings in a row. Isn't she afraid of getting caught?"
"Originally, I was thinking that if she had someone else paint for her, it would be difficult to figure out the situation for a while and we'd have to dig deep into her social network. But now, she didn't even bother to hire a ghost - painter and just directly stole some ready - made paintings. We don't need to look for more in - depth evidence. As long as we show this website on - site, we can expose her completely!"
Ding Muyun took these things, extremely satisfied. Everything was set up, and she was just waiting for the official opening of the art exhibition.
Three days later, the art exhibition opened, and many people came here out of admiration.
The pre - exhibition publicity had been done very well, and there were even more people on - site than they had expected.
Apart from some ordinary art lovers and collectors, some senior professionals in the industry also came to show their support.
Among the faces of the media reporters on - site, there were also some foreign journalists.
The cameras of these people clicked away in the exhibition hall. They bypassed the other artists and rushed directly to the exhibition corridor of LU.
Ding Muyun had also entered the venue. Looking around at the bustling scene, a confident smile curled up on her lips.
When the time came, the host simply held a ribbon - cutting ceremony at the entrance of the museum and introduced several senior professionals.
At the same time, the host invited several artists whose works were on display at this art exhibition to come onto the stage and have a brief meeting with everyone.
After the other artists had been introduced and walked off the stage one by one, the host announced.
"Today, we welcome our most important artist."
She pointed to a certain position in the crowd. Lu Xue, dressed in a white formal dress, nodded slightly and slowly walked up from the crowd.
As soon as she stood still in front of everyone, people let out exclamations.
Compared with the previous artists, Lu Xue was the most beautiful. Just standing there, she attracted everyone's attention.
The host was about to introduce Lu Xue when Ding Muyun from the crowd suddenly interrupted her.
"I have a question to ask."
The host didn't expect a viewer to interrupt her at such a moment, so she said awkwardly.
"Madam, could you please wait until I finish introducing this artist and then ask your question? Later, we will set aside time for free Q&A for all the viewers..."
But Ding Muyun interrupted her and continued, "I want to ask why the woman you're introducing so grandly is so blatantly plagiarizing foreign artists and displaying their works in her own art exhibition?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Ding Muyun in surprise.
Ding Muyun showed a faint smile. The effect she wanted had been achieved.
The whole crowd was in a stir, and people began to whisper to each other.
The host didn't expect that this person had come to ruin the event, and her face flushed with embarrassment for a moment.
She said politely, "Sorry, madam. You need evidence for any claim you make. If you don't have evidence, I'll have our security escort you out to prevent you from disrupting the order on - site."
Ding Muyun said, "Of course, I can provide evidence! Everyone, please take a look at the paintings she's exhibiting and see if they match the works of the foreign artist I mentioned. I didn't expect that in such a formal occasion with so many media in attendance, there would actually be such a shameless act of plagiarizing others' works and selling them publicly."
