Chapter 983 Plagiarism

Single city.

Gou Sang sat under the tree smoking a cigarette, taking out his cell phone from his pocket and scrolling aimlessly.

There was still a long time before the next exam, and he couldn't study quietly for more than ten hours a day. He still spent most of the day playing with his mobile phone. When I have nothing to do, I watch movies and TV series, and occasionally play two games to kill time.

"Are you playing here?"

A passing car suddenly stopped at the door, causing Gou Sang to put down his phone and look up at his neighbor in the car.

"Why didn't you go to work today?"

"Have a day off on the weekend."

Gou Sang nodded silently, having forgotten the day of the week now.

"Where are you driving to?"

The person sitting in the car said: "I just talked to someone and I'm going to pick her up to go to the movies."

"Go, go, slow down on the road." Gou Sang threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Let's have some drinks together some other time when we have time."

"I'm always available."

"As agreed, I'll leave first."

Watching the car leave, Gou Sang clicked on the movie forum on his mobile phone, wondering what movies were being released now.

He was too bored at home during this period, so he also planned to watch a movie to adjust his state.

The movie forum is quite lively. Some are discussing old movies, some are commenting on movies that are currently being released, and of course some are talking about new movies that will be released soon.

Gou Sang looked at it with interest.

"Brothers, can you recommend any good movies? There is nothing to watch. Old movies are fine too."

"It's hard to find movies. Just look at the ratings, from high to low. If you can enjoy it, watch it. If you can't, just cut it off."

"As for new movies, there is a fighting movie that is being released now that is quite good. I recommend you to watch it. It has a good reputation."

"I feel that there are no movies released now that suit my taste, so I have been waiting for next month. There will be a few movies of good quality next month, so I can go and watch them then."

"There are quite a lot of good movies, it just depends on what type of movies you like. I never choose, I only watch movies with good reputations."

"Now when I have nothing to do, I watch the movies Mr. Tan Yue has made before, as well as the TV series he made. Mainly because other directors can't watch them."

"There's no good movie, just go to bed."

"I would like to recommend some low-budget movies to you. They look pretty good."

"The following are the movies currently in theaters. If you are interested, you can check them out, including "Storm" and "Hopeless"."

Gou Sang glanced at the list of movies currently showing, but didn't arouse the slightest interest. He felt that it would be better to lie in bed and play with his mobile phone, so the idea of ​​watching a movie was abandoned.

He is single and will not waste money without a good movie.

Gou Sang continued to browse the movie forum, and would check out any popular posts.

Not long after, he suddenly frowned and saw a post titled ""Black Fire" copied "Infernal Affairs"".

Gou Sang's first reaction was that this title might be just to attract attention. After all, there are still many headline-makers.

"Infernal Affairs" is Tan Yue's movie, and it was very popular when it was aired. It was discussed on Douyin, Weibo and movie forums. If you plagiarize it like this, you will not be scolded by netizens when it is released.

Riding on the popularity is not seeking death.

With curiosity in his heart, Gou Sang clicked on the post. He originally thought it was deliberately attracting attention, but after reading it, he discovered that the number of replies to the post had reached nearly a thousand.

"Damn it, this company called Columbia Entertainment is so shameless. They plagiarized "Infernal Affairs" so secretly."

"All key holders, get ready and give him shit when this movie comes out."

"This is too disgusting. As soon as I heard the director's interview, I knew it was plagiarizing "Infernal Affairs". Where can I report it? Give me a place."

"This is an internationally famous entertainment company, but it plagiarizes our movies. It's too low-key."

"No one is in charge of this foreign entertainment company. Plagiarized movies must not be released."

"I don't know if Teacher Tan Yue has noticed this. Brothers, follow me and leave a message on Weibo."

“Don’t let this post sink in. Let me upvote it.”

"As long as this movie called "Black Fire" dares to be released, I will keep criticizing it to see if they can watch it safely."

"Brothers, join me in boycotting Black Fire and all Columbia Entertainment movies."

After reading more than ten comments, Gou Sang swiped the phone screen and returned to the top of the post.

The first is the comment of the poster: Brothers, today I suddenly saw a popular movie on the Internet. After studying it carefully, I found out that this movie called "Black Fire" is highly suspected of plagiarizing Tan Yue. "Infernal Affairs" by the teacher. The following are screenshots of the director's speech at the opening ceremony (with translation), as well as the video of the interview at the time. You can take a look. The company that made this movie is well-known in the international entertainment circle, called Columbia Entertainment.

Gou Sang slowly swiped the screen and read the translated text word by word, for fear of missing key information.

As for whether the translation is correct, don't worry. If the translation is wrong, someone will correct it in the comment area.

"It's so shameless." After reading it, Gou Sang also saw the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" in it.

"Black Fire" is modeled after "The Departed".

At this time, Gou Sang felt the same as those netizens who replied to the post, and wanted to curse loudly.

In his opinion, plagiarism is a very shameful behavior.

"It turned out to be from abroad, no wonder they dared to plagiarize "Infernal Affairs"."

Gou Sang can be sure that in China, no matter which film or TV work of Tan Yue, no one dares to plagiarize like this.

Not to mention starting filming, as long as netizens know a little bit of movement, they will definitely rush to it.

Gou Sang directly clicked on "Reply", and his stubby fingers jumped wildly on the screen:

'Columbia Entertainment Company only wants to give you four words, face (qu) don't want (ma) (de). If you can't think of a good movie, don't shoot it. Such a big entertainment company actually plagiarizes. When your movie is released, you will be criticized to pieces. You dare to bully us. '

See it or not, after uploading the comment, Gou Sang turned off his mobile phone directly, returned to the desk, and prepared to continue reviewing.

However, his mind was full of what happened just now, and he was very irritable. He couldn't find the state to continue studying.

Gou Sang turned the pen in his hand and lay on the chair.

Foreigners have always been prejudiced against domestic movies. It is difficult for domestic movies to develop abroad. Now they are directly plagiarizing domestic movies.

What's more, the person who was plagiarized is Teacher Tan Yue.

Tan Yue is now completely different from other directors in the hearts of fans. It is because of him that domestic movies will slowly move towards the overseas market and stand up in the international film market.

"No, I have to leave a message on Weibo so that Teacher Tan Yue can see this."

Gou Sang took out his mobile phone again, opened Weibo and started typing, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Beijing.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Chen Ye said: "Mr. Tan, this is the revised plan submitted by the new media department, please take a look."

Tan Yue took the document and read it carefully.

Compared with the last time, this plan has been improved a lot, and the places marked by himself have been adjusted.

Tan Yue stopped and thought carefully about what the effect would be this time?

There are many things to consider in live broadcast, because any inappropriate place will be intercepted by some netizens with intentions.

If it is not done well, it will bring negative effects.

Tan Yue drew a question mark at this place. He felt that it could be adjusted better.

A few minutes later, Tan Yue said: "Xiao Ye, send the file back. Tell them that this place needs to be adjusted. I think the effect after broadcast is not very good. This place will affect the effect of the whole live broadcast."

Chen Ye took the file out.

Tan Yue stretched and stood up from the chair. He sat in front of the computer for nearly three hours and was indeed a little tired.

A person walked back and forth in the office to exercise his body, standing by the window while looking at the scenery outside and sitting and doing simple chest expansion exercises.

Although the amount of exercise is not large, it is enough to refresh the mind.

Tan Yue currently handles the company's work every day, and uses the rest of the time to write scripts and character biographies. It looks very easy, but it is actually a double test of physical and mental strength.

After a short rest.

Tan Yue picked up the cup in front of the computer, poured out the tasteless tea leaves, and sat on the sofa to make himself a cup of tea. Smelling the faint tea fragrance, he opened the Weibo on his mobile phone.

His habit is to see what major events happen every day and what kind of events have attracted the attention of many netizens.

After reading today's hot news, he logged into his Weibo account. Looking at countless message reminders, Tan Yue has long been accustomed to it.

He also knows that the content of the messages left by fans is nothing more than some "new movies, new TV series".

There are indeed these messages in the comment area, but there are also different ones.

"Teacher Tan Yue, please go to the movie forum and see. Someone found that a foreign director is plagiarizing your "Infernal Affairs."

"It's a big deal. A foreign movie called "Black Fire" is plagiarizing your movie. What should we do about this kind of thing?"

"The movie "Black Fire" should have constituted plagiarism. For plagiarism like this abroad, where should we go to defend our rights? As fans, we must not refuse."

"Teacher Tan Yue, check the foreign website. There is a movie called "Black Fire". It is produced by Columbia Entertainment and is still being filmed. The movie story told by the director at the opening ceremony is very similar to "Infernal Affairs". Very similar, it is very likely plagiarism. "

"Teacher Tan Yue, please tell us, we fans will definitely help you to defend your rights to the end, even if they are abroad, we have ways to deal with it."

"It is disgusting that foreign countries plagiarize our movies."

"Is what you said true? I will go to the movie forum to check it out now."

"Someone actually plagiarized Teacher Tan Yue's movie. It's time to pick up the keyboard that has been thrown away for many years and let the other side see what real fighting power is."

Looking at these comments, Tan Yue was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone in China would pay attention to this matter.

But thinking about it, it should be. The two male protagonists in the movie "Black Fire" are somewhat famous in the international entertainment circle. Columbia Entertainment will definitely seize this point to promote it to increase the popularity of the movie. It is only a matter of time before domestic netizens know about it.

When Tan Yue was checking the comments in the comment area, many message reminders popped up in the background, all of which were netizens expressing their anger.

No matter how the plot of "Black Fire" is modified, the core content is plagiarized from "Infernal Affairs". Tan Yue understands the anger of netizens very well, and he felt the same when he knew about this matter.

However, the rights protection mentioned by many netizens in the comment area is almost impossible. Although the plot of "Black Fire" is obviously imitated, it does not constitute plagiarism in a strict sense.

This is also a place that Tan Yue finds disgusting.

He repeatedly read the text introduction of "Black Fire" and some other information on the Internet. It did not meet the standard of plagiarism. It can only be said that some plots are similar and belong to imitation.

What's more, it involves the United States, which is not a matter of one country.

Even if he goes to defend his rights, without strength and status, others may not pay attention, and he will have to rely on the country for help in the end. The process will be very complicated, and Tan Yue does not want to waste his energy on such things.

A dumb person has bitterness when eating coptis, which is exactly the current situation.

What Tan Yue can do now is to make a better movie to stop "Black Fire".

The idea of ​​shooting "The Godfather" also came up.

He has another consideration.

Through "The Godfather", he can further improve his reputation in the international entertainment industry and let more people know him. Then naturally, some people will learn about the movies he has made, and some people will pay attention to the movie "Infernal Affairs".

Then, through his own influence, he will let foreign netizens know that "Black Fire" is plagiarizing "Infernal Affairs".

In the end, it will inevitably be discussed online.

Now that the matter has just been known in China, so many people have denounced the movie "Black Fire". After it is actually released, the scale of the denunciation will be even larger.

Tan Yue believes in the power of netizens.

You can release it however you want, and you have to bear the consequences yourself.

Tan Yue is so confident now because he believes in the movie "The Godfather". He believes that "The Godfather" will definitely cause a discussion worldwide.

Netizens' messages are still continuing, and Tan Yue directly logged out of his account to avoid constant message reminders on his phone.

It's useless to say more, and it may be used by others to make articles. What can be done is to write the script quickly.

Tan Yue returned to the computer, opened the "script", and devoted himself to writing the script of "The Godfather".

Time is precious.

Not saying it now does not mean that Tan Yue has suffered this loss, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

PS:

It’s the beginning of the month, brothers and sisters, work hard and live well!
