Sweet Games Episode 16 Recap
> Sweet Games Recap
In recent times, the peerless duo, An Ran and Yan Yue, have been riding high. Not only have they reaped the sweetness of love, but they've also reached the pinnacle of their careers. Ever since confirming their relationship, Hu Yingjun and Bai Mengyao shamelessly flaunt their affection at the company, almost causing everyone to overdose on sweetness. As for An Ran, she advises keeping workplace relationships in check while she herself can't help but smile foolishly at her phone. Consequently, the small office of the peerless duo often resounds with teasing voices.
Once they shook off the awkwardness of early love and entered the sweet honeymoon phase, it seems that achieving success in both love and career isn't impossible, but life has become busy. When the audiobook that Yan Yue participated in producing, "Moonlit Pleasure," was released, it gained a plethora of fans and garnered much attention. However, with increased attention came discussions and controversies.
A netizen exposed that the audiobook "Moonlit Pleasure" hadn't obtained the original author's copyright. Jiang Shan, troubled, had previously confirmed this matter repeatedly with the company, but to their surprise, there was still an issue. Soon after, the original author, Qing Qing, posted on social media, stating that she hadn't authorized any audiobook adaptations and directly accused Yan Yue's studio of copyright infringement. At once, netizens caught onto the trend and collectively condemned this act of infringement.
The fact is, the cooperating company, Antarctic Light, indeed purchased the five-year adaptation rights for "Moonlit Pleasure." However, the entire authorization process involved many details, and they hadn't presented the original author's original documents granting authorization for audiobook adaptation. What's even more vexing is that the studio can't get in touch with the person in charge at Antarctic Light, and the author, Qing Qing, is unwilling to meet. In other words, regardless of whether infringement occurred or not, this matter has nothing to do with the third party—the Yan Yue studio. It's merely a case of scapegoating, with Antarctic Light, which should be most responsible for the matter, hiding behind the studio.
In what seemed like an instant, details about Heisha's (Black Sand) situation were exposed one by one to the public, including his involvement in dubbing "Fragmented Time Boyfriend." As a result, rumors and gossip started circulating, claiming that the bosses of the peerless duo had connections with Heisha and directly used backdoor means to secure investment, implying that they were bad women who relied on men to climb up. Some speculated that perhaps Heisha had attached himself to a wealthy woman, which brought him attention in the dubbing industry. Many onlookers didn't mind stirring up trouble, clamoring for Heisha to leave the industry.
These rumors were like sharp blades, leaving Yan Yue breathless. He eventually collapsed, weak and powerless. Upon seeing the news, An Ran rushed over in time and brought him back home. An Ran wanted to console Yan Yue, but she inadvertently said something that hurt him deeply, turning him into a sensitive hedgehog. An Ran, feeling helpless, could only return home reluctantly, leaving Yan Yue alone to calm down.
Many gamers came forward to boycott Heisha, demanding that "Fragmented Time Boyfriend" change its dubbing. But in public and in private, An Ran would not replace Yan Yue. The peerless duo's fans also supported An Ran's stance. Fearing to stir up trouble, Lansheng Company decided to replace Yan Yue. However, seeing An Ran's determination, they had no choice but to terminate the cooperation to clear their name. Lao Wu couldn't bear to see An Ran's efforts go to waste and personally approached Yan Yue, advising him to voluntarily exit.
After much contemplation, Yan Yue ultimately decided to accept Lao Wu's suggestion and leave the industry. However, as his girlfriend, An Ran learned of this news online. She hurried to Yan Yue's home, only to find it empty and her calls going unanswered. At this moment, Yan Yue was already at the airport.
