Lin Chen, a programmer, is single and loves animation.

He is also one of the most loyal fans of the Land of Light.

He became a follower of "Hikaru" from the very first episode of "Ultraman Tiga".

Purchase the complete series of "Ultraman".

Buy the complete EVA series and listen to "Cruel Angel's Thesis" on repeat.

Purchase the complete series of "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen" and collect all the seven sword weapons and related merchandise.

Purchase the complete series of "Dekaranger" + SPD license merchandise.

Of all his official robes, this was the most expensive.

Nothing beats the Wuling co-branded sedan in Tomorrow Orange color.

With a top-of-the-line price of less than 100,000 yuan, it boasts performance and features comparable to vehicles in the 150,000 to 200,000 yuan price range.

It's perfect for a young person like him who needs a means of transportation but doesn't want to bear too much financial burden.

more importantly.

He was one of the lucky car owners who participated in the first Wuling vehicle delivery ceremony.

That day, Teacher A-Guang personally opened the car door for him.

They also gave him a poster of the Ultraman Tiga art book, signed by him.

This incident has become the biggest topic of conversation between Lin Chen and his friends recently.

"See that? Ah-Guang opened the car door for me!"

"What? You're asking me who Hikaru is? He's the founder of the Land of Light! Have you seen Ultraman Tiga? What about Evangelion? You know Go Master, right?"

"Yes, he did it all."

Every time I see the other person's eyes go from blank to shocked to envious.

Lin Chen felt that the long journey and the pay deduction for taking leave that day were worth it.

……

That evening, Lin Chen returned home after finishing his overtime work at 11:30 p.m.

He habitually opened Starlight Video, eating takeout while scrolling through fan-made videos related to the Land of Light.

There's nothing we can do; the Land of Light updates too slowly.

Although Cardcaptor Sakura has already achieved a conscientious pace of two episodes a day.

But for a seasoned animation enthusiast like him, it was still not enough.

They can only survive by creating fan-made videos and fan works.

At that moment, a headline caught his attention.

[Help me! My graduation project has been stolen!]

Posted by: Nuan Xiaonuan (Followers: 1.2)

Lin Chen clicked on it out of curiosity.

In the video, a girl wearing a mask, her voice trembling with obvious sobs, is making accusations to the camera.

"Hello everyone, I'm Nuan Xiaonuan, a recent graduate majoring in animation."

"I completed my graduation project this June."

"A five-minute animated short film called 'Star Trails' tells the story of two stars meeting, separating, and then reuniting in the universe."

"I uploaded the finished product to my personal homepage as a portfolio."

"However, just last week, I discovered that a content creator in the animation category with over 70 followers, named 'Starry River,' released a short film called 'Encountering the Stars and Sea.'"

"Its core concept, storyboard composition, character design, and even the color scheme of some scenes... are almost exactly the same as my 'Star Trails'!"

In the video, Nuan Xiaonuan displays side-by-side comparisons of two works.

The same "anthropomorphic stars" setting.

The same "drifting in space" opening.

The same climax scene of "connecting each other with light trails".

Even the gradient curve of the starry sky hue during a certain transition is highly similar.

"I contacted them privately, but received no reply."

"I reported it to the platform and submitted all the evidence, but three days have passed and there is still no result."

"I explained the situation in my own post, and as a result, the other party's fans flooded my comment section."

Nuan Xiaonuan's voice trembled slightly.

She cut out a screenshot of her own post.

The comments section was filled with offensive remarks.

"Laughable, is that all? Completely different content, and you call this plagiarism?"

"I ate pork dumplings yesterday, and I ate lamb dumplings today. Does that mean the lamb dumplings copied the pork dumplings?"

"A top content creator with 700,000 followers would copy the work of a nobody with only 10,000 followers? What's their motive? Do they think you have fewer followers?"

"There's a limit to how much you can ride the wave of popularity. If you're jealous, just say so."

"If your work is indeed copied, then it's a blessing in disguise, allowing more people to see your creativity. Isn't that good?"

"I suggest the blogger take a piss and look at himself in the mirror to see if he's worthy."

With red eyes, Nuan Xiaonuan said to the camera:

"I also tried reporting it to the authorities, but the fans on the other side directly said that I was just jealous of his popularity."

"But this is clearly a work I created myself."

"I started conceiving the idea in my sophomore year of college, drew over three hundred concept sketches, and it took me a full eight months to finish it..."

"It's like my child..."

At the end of the video, Nuan Xiaonuan took off her mask, revealing a face covered in tears.

"I really don't know what to do."

"If anyone can see this video, please, please help me."

The video ends.

There were only a few dozen comments in the comments section.

Most of the people comforting her were Nuan Xiaonuan's own fans:

"I feel so sorry for the author..."

"Support the leader's righteous action!"

"Plagiarists deserve a terrible death!"

"I've already reported it, but it doesn't seem to be doing any good..."

Lin Chen felt slightly annoyed after watching the video.

Although he is not a law student.

However, as a viewer who frequently watches anime and has paid attention to some copyright disputes, he could see that the evidence presented by Nuan Xiaonuan was very substantial.

This can no longer be explained by inspiration or borrowing.

This is blatant plagiarism.

but……

What can he do?

He was just an ordinary programmer with neither legal knowledge nor public influence.

He remained silent for a few seconds, then finally clicked the "like, comment, and share" button and left a comment saying "Support rights protection".

This is probably the only thing he can do.

Just as he was about to close the page, his gaze inadvertently swept over Nuan Xiaonuan's profile.

"A fan of fan art from the Land of Light | My dream is to become an animator like Hikaru-sensei."

Below are a few more videos she has posted.

【Ultraman Tiga MAD: Successor of Light】

[Hand-drawn EVA artwork: Kaworu and Shinji's piano piece]

[Hand-drawn panoramic view of the Seven Swords uniting in Rainbow Cat]

All of these are fan-made works from the Land of Light.

Lin Chen was stunned.

This girl was plagiarized and cyberbullied...

Are you a fan of the Land of Light?

He suddenly looked up, a thought flashing through his mind.

in case……

What if Teacher A-Guang knew about this?

Given Mr. Guang's personality, he would definitely not sit idly by.

But the problem is, how do we let Teacher A-Guang know?

Lin Chen thought quickly.

He didn't have Ah Guang's contact information.

The official email address of the Land of Light studio is most likely used for business cooperation, and sending such a personal rights protection matter there is very likely to result in it being ignored.

and many more.

Contact information...

Lin Chen suddenly remembered something, quickly picked up his phone, and opened WeChat.

In his WeChat friend list, there is a special contact person.

"Wuling Motors - Kingdom of Light Co-branded Edition Exclusive Customer Service (AI)"

This is the dedicated customer service representative provided by Wuling when he picked up the car.

The staff explained that the main functions of this customer service, in addition to regular vehicle after-sales consultation, were...

More importantly, we collect suggestions from car owners regarding the co-branded vehicles' "paint design, interior details, and peripheral creative elements."

"All suggestions submitted through this channel will be directly compiled and sent to the design team at the Kingdom of Light Studio."

That's what the staff said.

In other words...

This customer service representative might be directly connected to Teacher A-Guang?

At least, it's much more reliable than sending it to an official email address!

Lin Chen's heart was pounding.

After a moment's thought, he turned on his computer and compiled a document containing Nuan Xiaonuan's video link, comparison screenshots, the other party's UP's homepage information, and the whole story.

Then, I sent it through the dedicated customer service chat window.

The message has been sent.

AI customer service's automated reply pops up:

"Thank you for your suggestion. We have received it and will process and reply to you as soon as possible~ (smiley face)"

Hopefully this will be helpful.
