"Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" audio book.
The incident description released by Tianjin Yuexiang Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuexiang Culture"), a company affiliated with "729 Sound Factory", pointed out that in 2018, the company reported to Beijing Motie Shumeng Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Motie Shumeng") provides audiobook recording services for "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise". The company did not have enough production capacity in post-production at that time, so it outsourced the post-production of the project to a third party, and the project leader was responsible for the coordination.
This project completed all audio production and delivered it to MotieShumeng in June 2019, and obtained the acceptance document stamped by MotieShumeng. After tracing the incident, it was found that during the period when the third party of the project was about to be delivered in the later stage, the project leader resigned due to personal issues and did not complete the handover when leaving. The inappropriate content of the delivered finished audio file was not discovered in the end.
As the producer, Yuexiang Culture has made obvious mistakes in third-party team management and project docking. The company sincerely apologizes to the author, Motie Shumeng and the readers and listeners. At present, Yuexiang Culture has established a special team to fully cooperate with the adjustment and re-planning of relevant content. At the same time, the company will conduct in-depth and comprehensive self-examination, formulate specific improvement measures, and strengthen employee training.
Nandu previously reported that on the evening of the 8th, Motie Shumeng issued an apology statement regarding the controversy, saying that the company had removed the relevant audio from the shelves as soon as possible and re-examined it. The company did not conduct a strict and detailed review of all audio files, but only conducted partial random inspections. There was a serious quality inspection failure, which led to this serious consequence, and we are deeply sorry for this. MotieShumeng will further hold the producer accountable, hold accountable those responsible for internal audits, and further improve the audit mechanism.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Mo Tie has been involved in public opinion controversy due to "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise". In April 2023, well-known screenwriter Shi Hang was accused of "sexual harassment" by many people. Mo Tie, who invited Shi Hang to write a recommendation for the book, was widely questioned.
On April 30 of the same year, "Motie Books", a subsidiary of Motie, issued a statement in response, saying, ""Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" is a work that we cherish very much" and has begun to delete Shi Hang's recommendations in the book. In the future Book recommendations will be treated in a more rigorous manner.
