Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 310

Chapter 310

The statement's general intent was to tell everyone to listen only to the official announcement rather than making speculations based on unauthorized ones. It further cautioned netizens not to fall victim to others with bad intentions. It was clear what they were getting at when they warned the fans not to let people with bad intentions take advantage of

them.

The news of Bella joining The Palace was rumored for a few months. The show had not even started filming, yet Bella had already brought The Palace on the trending list several times. With Daniel's reputation and Bella's fame, every trending search would spark discussions.

Bella completely ignored the situation online at that time. But now, she popped out and posted a statement saying she did not take part in the show. The fans naturally thought that the show's production team had bought the previous trending searches to trick the fans and use the celebrities' fame.

So, once the statement was posted, Bella's fans instantly cried out against injustice. They all went to leave a comment on The Palace's Facebook homepage. Some were insults about the casting, and some were cursing for the show to flop. Their homepage was full of toxic comments. Luckily, Daniel had the foresight and kept the show's cast a secret. Otherwise, no one's homepage would be safe at that moment. Bella would do anything for clout. Hence, she was great at setting trends, yet her fans had no idea that she was taking advantage of them. Her fans were even comforting and encouraging Bella on her Facebook page.

Felicity sent a message to their group chat. [The show went on trending when it started filming. She didn't say she wasn't in it at that time. Why mention it now?]

Stella, too, felt that Bella's post at the moment was weird. 'Why would she rock the boat and court hatred to herself with a statement like this? Daniel has always hated these publicity stunts made by celebrities Does Bella not want to be in Daniel's show in the future by making it a big deal?'

Shea said, [Does she have a new show that will be released? Is that why she's purposely clout- chasing?]

At first, they all just thought that Shea was overthinking it. But, right in the evening, a famous media account revealed that Bella was starring in World Peace. World Peace was a script based on a trending novel. It's a mystery genre novel with a large reader fanbase. The novel became viral because the author was caught plagiarizing and stealing ideas from others. The readers searched through the web novels and found all the plagiarized ideas.

However, Stella did not read novels. During her voice acting days, she did receive the script's offer. She was interacting with Robin frequently at the time, so she asked him to assist her with reviewing the script. But, Robin instantly told her to turn down the offer when he saw the script. So, she learned about the script's controversy from Robin.

Out of curiosity, Stella read the few books that the netizens had found World Peace plagiarizing from. The settings of the story were indeed very similar. Even the setting of the main characters was mostly the same as the setting of the book, Ninja Wear. If the situation was similar to one or two books, it could be considered a coincidence. But, having so many

things in common did not seem random.

Plagiarism was a complicated topic in the country. It was difficult to determine whether a book was plagiarized from a legal aspect. Since it could not be defined and the book was doing amazing, the author went rampant. Not only did the author deny the plagiarism claim, the author even sued a few netizens in court for defamation.

The author was still active in the web novel field to this day. This incident did not affect him at all. On the contrary, his fame soared. He had sold one after another royalty of his books. Furthermore, it was assumed that one book's royalty cost 20 million or more.

The controversial adaptation of World Peace into a show was nothing new in the entertainment industry: Some companies would especially purchase these kinds of royalties. They would use plagiarism as a gimmick and continuously create hot topics about it right from the start. When the show was about to air, the fans would be busy handling the homepage and pinning the positive comments to block out the hate comments. Meanwhile, the celebrities would rake the profit from the show. All these shows would undoubtedly have high ratings. Surely enough, they earned a fortune from it. Some celebrities even won awards for these shows, which was miraculous.

'Bella would be lying if she said she did not know about the show's controversy. Maybe she wanted to bet on it,' Stella thought.

[Stella, Bella's show might clash with The Palace. Oh my God, was this intentional?]

Felicity had many channels for replaceing out rumors, so she was quick to inquire about the latest news. [They are really clashing. Well, I guess we just have to stand up to her. I believe in Director Woods.]

[Me too. But, when a show broadcast clashes with these IP shows, the ratings would definitely not do well. Fucking hell, why does Bella keep holding a grudge against you?] Shea replied. Stella was silent for a moment before she asked, [When does World Peace start filming?]

[Probably next week. I'll have to inquire more about the details.] Felicity paused and asked, [ What are you going to do?]

Stella replied, [I was thinking of sending her an opening gift.]

Felicity's smile twitched. [Do you have nowhere else to spend your money?]
