China Entertainment Anchor

Chapter 647 Plagiarism incident

Apparently they had already seen the gift list, and after being polite to Zhang Yang, they were polite to Xiao Yanzi again.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Yang knew that Xiao Yanzi had given a lot.

At this table, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying drank three or four glasses. There are 78 tables here today. If other tables drink like this, they will not have a wedding tonight.

At around nine o'clock, the wedding of the century finally ended, and the excitement finally ended.

The next day, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were planning to spend a few days in Magic City, but they had not left home yet, so the arrangement had to be canceled again.

Because the Oscars officially announced the list of foreign language films for 2015 today, "Liu Yifei Born in 82" will represent the mainland in the Oscar competition for the best foreign language film.

"The Assassin" and "Broken Wind" represent the Wanwan and Xiangjiang regions respectively to compete for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.

As soon as this news came out, netizens felt their heads hurt. Before the end of August, they all believed that Zhang Yang's work was the best candidate for the Olympics.

As a result, there were rumors that Zhang Yang had given up his bid for the Olympics, and then it was reported that "Wolf Totem" represented the country's bid for the Olympics.

That's not all. In the middle, "Old Friends of Mountains and Rivers" also expressed its intention to apply, but it still failed. "Wolf Totem" seems to be a sure thing for the Olympics.

As a result, today's official news from the Oscars surprised everyone.

In the end, Zhang Yang's film was selected for the competition. Is this a joke?

A lot of melon-eating people are confused.

Under the current situation, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei would definitely not be able to live in peace while visiting the Magic City.

"It seems that I have no chance with the devil!" Zhang Yang sighed.

The last time we were planning to go on a trip, it rained heavily. This time, when we were planning to go on a trip, we encountered another hot topic of public opinion.

"Maybe God asked us to go back early to spend time with our children." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Zhang Yang then embarked on his way back to Beijing.

At this time, many netizens went to the scarf of Wang Weiming, the producer of the movie "Wolf Totem", to inquire about the situation.

"Wolf Totem" was the movie that he had the most fun with before. At the end of August, he was the first to admit that "Wolf Totem" would represent China in the Olympics. He was also the one who lashed out at Section Chief Jia.

However, this time he issued a statement early: He respects the choice and hopes that director Zhang Yang will achieve greater success in domestic films!

His scarf only reassured some. The most marketable thing in the entire field of public opinion is conspiracy theory.

Many people actually analyzed the clues and found out the reasons that seemed to be very real.

This time it is an analysis by an industry insider. He said that the sudden change of movies may be related to the China-US Film Week held in the United States last month.

This film week was held in Washington, D.C., USA from the 24th to the 28th of last month, and five domestic films were screened, including "Liu Yifei Born in 82" and "Wolf Totem".

Maybe the movie "Liu Yifei Born in 82" was well received locally after it was released, so that's why it was chosen to compete in the Olympics. After all, everyone knows the power of Zhang Yang's movies.

This conclusion is naturally a joke in the eyes of those who really know the reason, but many people take it seriously.

Now the public opinion is going to explode again. If this is really the case, why didn't we just use Zhang Yang's movie before?

This caused the producer of "Wolf Totem" to issue scarves again within a day. He personally explained that "Wolf Totem" was required by the Oscar organizing committee because the proportion of signatures of the main creative staff did not meet the requirements for the best foreign language film. replace.

Netizens were eye-opening after hearing this. Is there such a thing?

Zhang Yang did not need to personally explain the incident. Instead, the producer of "Wolf Totem" explained everything himself due to the pressure of public opinion.

On the 15th, the movie "Liu Yifei Born in 82", which had been released for a month, was finally released. Its final box office was 12.3 billion, which was not more than 13 billion as estimated online. But this still blinded everyone's eyes.

But not many people paid attention to the movie's release today.

Because two other things happened today, Yang Ying has been frequently reported about her plastic surgery, even with Huang Xiaoming's support, it was of no use.

So she came to the capital today to do facial identification. This is no joke, because she is planning to sue.

Sue those who said she had plastic surgery, but if you want to sue people, you must have evidence that you did not have plastic surgery!

On the advice of her attorney, she went to an authoritative medical institution to conduct a comprehensive examination and identification of his face.

As long as it is determined that she has not had plastic surgery, then she will be justified in suing those people.

Zhang Yang didn't have time to dwell on this gossip, because something happened in the movie "Charlotte Trouble", and this was the second thing.

Zhang Yang met Liu Hongtao at Ocean Studio about this matter.

"Director Zhang, we have never seen the movie "Peggy Sue is Getting Married". How can we say it is plagiarized?" Liu Hongtao complained to Zhang Yang.

"Who made his director so famous?" Zhang Yang said.

The director of this film is Francis Ford Coppola, or to be more direct, he is the director of "The Godfather", and this "Peggy Sue Getting Married" is his most famous film after "The Godfather".

It tells the story of an American woman going back 25 years ago. Yes, this is also a time-travel story, and it was filmed in 1986.

"But you can't just say that time travel movies are copied from him."

"Then take it to legal action." Zhang Yang suggested directly.

Liu Hongtao was stunned after hearing what Zhang Yang said.

"Of course, you must also speak up and express your thoughts completely."

"Director Zhang, how about you introduce us to a lawyer." Liu Hongtao suggested. "Do you know how much compensation is expected if you win this lawsuit?" Zhang Yang asked.

How could Liu Hongtao, a management student, know this? He came to Zhang Yang without consulting relevant people. He was afraid that Zhang Yang would have objections to their Happy Twist due to this incident.

Let alone the issue of cooperation in the future, their future in the film industry will not be easy.

"This case is not an intellectual property case, but a reputation infringement case. The maximum compensation for this type of case in China is only 5 yuan.

As for other economic losses, in addition to litigation fees and attorney fees, as long as he hires a lawyer, it will be very troublesome for us to pursue compensation. "Zhang Yang analyzed it for him.

"Our movie has only been released for half a month, and based on the box office it has received is 12.4 billion, if the remaining time is not around 4 million, it will definitely be affected by his article." Liu Hongtao also analyzed seriously at this time.

What he said actually makes sense. A movie usually takes three-quarters of the box office in half a month. The huge gap in box office in the remaining two weeks is definitely due to the influence of this article.

Zhang Yang spread his hands and said helplessly: "This kind of analysis is a saying in the industry, and the law will not recognize it at all."

"It's really unpleasant that the cost of spreading rumors is so low, but the damage caused is so great." Liu Hongtao said with a bit of bitterness.

"This is just the final result. You can propose the amount you want, even asking him to compensate 100 million."

"I'm going back right away. I'll speak up first and then find a lawyer to take the matter to court. We, Happy Twist, will fight him to the death this time." Mr. Liu said in a deep voice.

"If he is willing to apologize, don't be too forceful." Zhang Yang looked at Liu Hongtao who turned to leave and explained again.

People are used to sympathizing with the weak. This time Happy Twist made a lot of money, and this Wenbai was a weakling in front of Happy Twist.

Liu Hongtao stopped after hearing Zhang Yang's words. He thought for a moment, nodded and walked out quickly.

Soon the two directors of Happy Twist and Happy Twist spoke out one after another.

Yan Fei first spoke up and said that the inspiration for their movie came from a post on the Tianya community in 10, and neither he nor Peng Damo had watched the movie "Peggy Sue Gets Married" until now.

Then Peng Damo also spoke, saying that they have never evaded the source of creation and the creative process, but Wenbai's article was too misleading and taken too out of context.

Then Happy Twist Company also issued a statement. In addition to the specific inspiration introduction, they stated that they can accept criticism of the film, whether it is well-intentioned or malicious.

However, infringement of the reputation of their team is absolutely intolerable, and they will make every effort to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of creators.

In addition, Liu Hongtao also issued a scarf after returning. The title is very combative, ""Charlotte Troubles" does not stir up trouble, but it is not afraid of trouble either. We choose to fight to the death with those who spread rumors."

The theme of this scarf is just one sentence: We will make those who attempt to spread rumors at zero cost pay the price for their lies!

Shortly after Zhang Yang sent Liu Hongtao away, team leader Zhou came over and said to Zhang Yang: "Boss, do we want..."

"I didn't let you take care of it, so don't worry about it." Zhang Yang said to him in a deep voice.

Team Leader Zhou has a record of doing this. He has to do something to teach others.

Team Leader Zhou nodded quickly. He found that his old habit had relapsed, but he had been in charge of entertainment for many years, so he could think about things in this way from time to time, and it was particularly effective in solving problems in this way.

Zhang Yang looked at Team Leader Zhou and wondered whether he should be asked to manage the group of people in the music studio and Bibo Entertainment should find someone else to take charge of it.

He shook his head and went home.

Liu Yifei and Liu's mother were very concerned about the issue of "Charlotte Troubles" this time. When she saw Zhang Yang coming back, Liu Yifei asked, "How is it going?"

"Follow the legal process and resolve the matter as it should be."

"That will take a long time."

Zhang Yang nodded. This was also a kind of helplessness. Unless Wen Bai took the initiative to apologize, otherwise the lawsuit would be fought, so he must be patient.

"This lawsuit is basically won. To say that a film is plagiarized is a very professional and technical screening process and cannot be done by film critics.

He was influenced by others, causing his subjective consciousness to go wrong. "Zhang Yang said with confidence.

The so-called subjective consciousness error means that he took the results to find fault. In addition, he himself is not a professional in identifying plagiarism, so it is strange that there is no problem.

"What's going on?" Liu's mother asked curiously.

"Wen Bai works in self-media. He originally recommended the movie "Charlotte Troubles" on his official account."

"What?" Liu Yifei and her mother were both a little surprised.

When Zhang Yang learned the news from Teng Xun, he had the same expression as Liu Yifei and her daughter.

"It was a famous film critic from Xiangjiang who left a message on his public account saying that "Charlotte" was suspected of plagiarizing "Peggy Sue Getting Married".

Wen Bai didn't know if he wanted to attract attention or something else, so he sent out the so-called evidence of movie plagiarism he found.

There are a lot of articles in the world, and there are only 32 stories in movies. If he searches like this, he will definitely find something plausible.

Then he posted it, and many ordinary viewers who didn't understand it believed it to be true. Weixin's reading count was over 10. Finally got out of the circle. "

"Where is the Xiangjiang film critic? Is he okay?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask. This person is the real instigator.

"Not to mention this Xiangjiang film critic, even if no one reads what he posts, no one will hold him accountable."

As he spoke, Zhang Yang gave her some popular science about the law that was just enacted in September 13. Spreading rumors on the Internet must be viewed more than 9 times or forwarded more than 5000 times to constitute a crime.

"This method is good. It would be great if this method was available in 04." Liu's mother said after listening to Zhang Yang's explanation. She obviously still couldn't let go of what happened at that time.

"It's been so many years, don't think about it anymore." Liu Yifei persuaded her mother instead.
