Imitation and pretense are two completely different things.
Imitation is when you imitate a person or a product, or learn a person's behavior and language.
This is not illegal.
But pretending is different. The reason why it contains the word "false" means that it is not true and is a lie. This is why people will fight against fakes but not imitators.
Ye Fei also knew that there were both types of people in society, but he didn't expect that now some people would start pretending to be him to defraud money. Do you think it would make people angry
It's okay even if you say you're an imitator of mine. At least you admit it's a fake. Then no matter what you do, if something goes wrong, it's your fault. But it's not okay if you pretend to be me. If something goes wrong with this thing, no one else will. Look for you, look for me, and you also make me, Ye Fei, have a rhythm of saying nothing. After all, I have said before that I will not accept commercials and commercial performances, and even if I do, I will personally check it and achieve it. My request will be accepted.
I've never heard of this damn hot pot city from all over the world. How dare you use my name to cause trouble? Brother, did God give you the courage
Looking at the people rushing forward excitedly, Ye Fei shook his head helplessly.
Although he was recognized by others at the door of Carrefu just now, he did not admit it, so people just regarded him as a person who looked very similar to Ye Fei. As for the "Ye Fei" invited by this hotpot city from all over the world, "Fei", they used the guise that they invited the real Ye Fei, which is more attractive than the Ye Fei who looks like him.
"Look at these people. It's obvious that they are not fans of Ye Shen. This is obviously a pretense, and they are running forward so fast."
"That's right, Ye Shen has already said that he will not accept commercial performances or advertisements. Don't these people know?"
"Anyone who knows Ye Shen knows that no matter what he does, he usually tells his fans and audiences, especially for this commercial performance. Since he promised people, he must make the effect as big as possible, so he also You will say it, but now Ye Shen has not said a word, how can this be true?"
"These people can only be said to be fake fans of Ye Shen."
Ye Fei looked at the group of people brought by the driver and conductor, shook his head and said with a smile: "I think there are two reasons for this situation. The first is that the business's publicity work was too good and deceived people. The second thing is that this person is so similar to Ye Fei that it can be mistaken for the truth, otherwise people would not believe it so easily."
A group of people felt that what Ye Fei said made sense, and they all nodded in agreement. However, after agreeing, they all involuntarily focused on Ye Fei, and they all muttered in their hearts, I think you are better than a parent. It's more like Ye Shen.
Of course, Ye Fei would definitely not hear these words, and they followed the people forward.
Carrefour shopping mall can also be said to be a shopping mall. It is very large, but not too high. It has only four floors. The first floor is for gold and silver jewelry and clothing, the second floor is for department stores, and the third floor is mainly for leisure and entertainment. This fourth floor is mainly for catering. There are dozens of large and small restaurants, hot pot, local dishes, sushi, Xiba barbecue, pasta, etc. It can be said that there are still many types.
The Wuhusihai Hot Pot City is located in the middle of the left corner of the fourth floor. At this time, the doors of other restaurants have not yet opened, and they have already started to become lively. There are many people around the door, and the store is even more crowded.
Ye Fei and the others were far away when they heard the shouts of the merchants over there.
"Everyone, everyone, in order to further enhance the image and gain popularity of our hot pot city from all over the world, today we specially invite the world-famous food anchor, no, it is Ye Fei Ye Shen, the famous food anchor in the universe, to perform live in our hot pot city. Today all the food in our store 20% off on all purchases, 20% off on everything, you heard me right, even the delicacies made by Ye Shen are sold at 20% off. Everyone knows that the delicacies made by Ye Shen are expensive but not marketable. Normally, if you have money, you can You can't afford it. This can be seen from the reaction of the rich and powerful during Ye Shen's live broadcast. Ye Shen's current guest spot can be sold for billions, yes, it is billions. Yesterday, he One of the quotas was auctioned for a super sky-high price of 5 billion. Food at such a price is simply not something we can afford, but it is different now. Since Ye Shen and our boss Tang are best friends, today We specially came from Yinzhou City to cheer for our hot pot city for free, and we will make ten portions of hot pot on site. There are only ten portions. Each portion can be said to be delicious. Of course, the price may be a little more expensive than other hot pots. Eight One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight Chinese coins. Yes, this price is very high, but think about it. You only need to spend more than eight thousand to eat billions of delicious food. There is nothing more cost-effective in the world than this. Is it? No! I tell you, absolutely not! So what are you waiting for? What are you still hesitating? What are you still wandering about? The opportunity will not come again when it is too late. It can be said that if you miss this time, it will be very difficult to have such an opportunity in this life. It’s hard to say, friends, Hot Pot City from all over the world welcomes everyone! Well, now Ye Shen starts to make the first hot pot. This is a three-fresh hot pot. This hot pot still adheres to Ye Shen’s consistent style. All the ingredients They are all top-quality ingredients, top-quality ingredients, friends, don’t hesitate, don’t wander around, hotpot cities from all over the world welcome you!”
The people invited by Wuhusihai Hot Pot City are also very capable. This girl said a lot in one breath and introduced the highlights, which really made many people's hearts move.
"Eating a portion of Ye Shen's hot pot costs more than 8,000 yuan. It's worth it."
"It's more than worth it. It's so cheap. Come on, let's go have a share together."
"It's still a bit expensive, and it's not for people like us, but you can have ordinary hot pot, and you can get a 20% discount anyway."
"Ah, the hot pot made by Ye Shen is a pleasure to watch, not to mention you can eat it."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it will be gone in a while, the total is only ten points, and there are more and more people now."
"I don't want to eat. I'm here to see Ye Shen."
"Hey~~ Is that Ye Shen? It's really the same as the back in the live broadcast room."
"Huh? No, I don't feel right. Ye Shenchang's back should be straighter."
"Yes, and the clothes this man wears are too unconventional. Ye Shen would not dress like this."
"Is it fake?"
"It shouldn't be right? The store owners say that Ye Shen and their boss Tang are good friends. This is friendship and help."
"Go in and take a look before we talk."
Many people shouted and rushed into the hot pot city. It can be said that the whole hot pot city from all over the world was full of diners in an instant. You must know that it is only about ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, many people are not very hungry. Even so The store was still crowded and dark.
In an office in the hotpot city, Tang Jichen's eyes turned into lines with joy, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Awesome, Ye Shen's reputation is amazing. I didn't expect so many people to come here so early in the morning. Mr. Hong , thanks to your idea."
Next to Tang Jichen, a fat middle-aged man laughed and said: "Boss Tang, although I don't like this Ye Fei, I have to admit that he is indeed very good at food. He is a leader in the food industry and even in other industries." Its influence cannot be underestimated.”
"Hahaha, that's of course. I also like to watch Ye Shen's programs, but I didn't dare to use his name in an article before. In fact, I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid that others will recognize this fake Ye Shen. Ah, then it will really be over."
"How is it possible? The person we invited is in the kitchen, and we specifically asked him to face away from the outside. From the back, it is almost indistinguishable from his back to Ye Fei's. As long as people are not allowed to see his face clearly, How can people possibly know if it’s true or false?”
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense. Oh~~ By the way, I received a call from Manager Miao of the mall this morning, saying that a person who looked very similar to Ye Shen came to the entrance of the mall this morning. , it attracted a lot of people at once, and I was worried that it might be Ye Shen himself coming over, because everyone said they looked so similar."
"You are thinking too much, Boss Tang. Ye Fei is in Yinzhou City, and he was still doing live broadcasts yesterday. How could he come to Lingyun City so quickly? You must know that the two cities are at least thousands of kilometers apart. He has no time to do so. Does your balls hurt? This must be another person pretending to be Ye Fei. Maybe some restaurant wants to use Ye Fei's name to gain attention."
"You are right. It seems that I am worrying too much."
When the two people were talking, there were more people outside.
It can be said that at this moment, there are people everywhere at the entrance of Wuhusihai Hot Pot City, men and women, old and young, and even several foreigners, all squeezing in.
At around 10:30, staff from other restaurants on the fourth floor also came over. When they saw so many people crowded at the entrance of the Hot Pot City from all over the world, everyone was dumbfounded.
"What the hell."
"Is Ye Shen really here?"
"Impossible, they must be deceiving people. I chatted with one of their waiters a few days ago, and he said that he hired an imitator of Ye Shen from somewhere. He is not Ye Shen at all."
"Damn, this is consumer fraud."
"Haha, the consumers haven't said anything yet, what can we say, but I think this method is really good. Our boss is also contacting other Ye Shen imitators these days and wants to do this."
"What kind of plane are you doing? This is how Ye Shen's reputation was ruined by these people. It's disgusting."
"What do you know? This is called marketing."
"This is called fraud!"
Ye Fei walked over with a group of bus drivers and conductors. He could feel that after passing by, many people were talking about him behind his back.
"This guy... holy shit, another imitator?"
"Emma, this looks so similar. If we hadn't met him here, I would have thought it was Ye Shen himself coming here."
"Oh my god, are there people who look like this in the world?"
"No, no, I need my contact information."
Ye Fei was walking when suddenly a middle-aged man in his forties rushed over from behind. He chuckled and said, "Brother, brother, please stay. I'm the owner of Shancheng Dawan, the one next to me. I don't know if I have any brothers." Not interested in collaborating?"
Ye Fei looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said with interest: "Oh? How to cooperate?"
"Of course it's like them? You pretend to be Ye Shen, and we do the same thing. I'll pay you 20,000 yuan. How about it?"
"Twenty thousand?"
"No? Thirty thousand is fine."
"Tsk tsk, that's quite a lot."
"That's for sure. Since we want to cooperate, we must be sincere, right?"
"You're right, but I don't have time now. I'm going to the front house to have a look. I heard that someone is pretending to be me."
"Then he must be pretending to be you. Don't even think about it. Why did Ye Shen come to our place? What are you talking about? Pretending to be you? Oh my god, you, you."
After the boss of Shancheng Big Bowl reacted, he was dumbfounded. He stared at Ye Fei, looked up and down several times, and stopped moving.
Ye Fei looked at the dumbfounded boss of Shancheng Dawan, smiled and said, "I am Ye Fei."
After saying that, he walked directly past the boss of Shancheng Dawan
