In the first half of the third phase of "Director Please Advise", it can be said that it is a strong duel, in addition to the newcomer director Wang Wenye, one is Wu Zhongtian, who has directed "Skyscraper", and the other is the senior master Guan Jinpeng.
Wu Zhongtian adapted "Jiang Taigong Fishing", Guan Jinpeng adapted his masterpiece "Rouge Buckle", and finally Guan Jinpeng won.
However, for Wu Zhongtian's short film "Sale", it has attracted a lot of controversy, and it is accused of copying the suspense master Hitchcock's short film "The Best House".
In the program, Wu Zhongtian denies plagiarism, emphasizing his own originality, and in the short film, it is marked that it is adapted from "Jiang Taigong Fishing".
Director Wang Jing directly said that this short film has Hitchcock's style.
Producer Fang Li asked if you had heard of the real case of society, or if you were completely original?
Wu Zhongtian said that I usually have a habit of writing down or shooting down a lot of news clips on my mobile phone, even the stories told by friends, and then I told a social news event, and now combined with the IP of Jiang Taigong fishing, combined together, it has become the script of "Selling". It is a comprehensive concept, and I wanted to make a genre film, so I made this creation.
Fang Li said that he came up with this topic to protect you, because he had heard the same story, and now he is relieved to see that he is so frank and creative by synthesizing various news.
However, Wu Zhongtian still concealed the facts and lied, because it cannot be said that there is no difference with Hitchcock's short film "The Best House", it can be said that it is exactly the same.
The structure and design of the whole story are consistent, but it has been localized, if Wu Zhongtian at that time can frankly admit that he adapted "The Best House", then it can be said that it is reasonable, but now he actually lied, saying that it is the original story of his comprehensive social news, which is obviously unforgivable.
On the surface, "Selling" is different from "The Best House", but the structure and core are consistent, and the story is also very bad. Even some of the prop settings are the same. The most obvious is the rocking chair.
The protagonist of "Sell" is an old man, and "The Best House" is an old woman, but this does not hinder the development of the story.
In terms of story, the old man's son in "Sale" was killed by robbing jewelry, while "The Best House" was killed by robbing a bank.
Next, let's take a look at the story of "The Best House", whether it is plagiarism or not is clear at a glance.
A middle-aged fat uncle drove to Ivy Point with an evil smile on his face, obviously declaring that I was back.
Let's call this guy Fat Uncle for the time being.
The fat uncle drove to the courtyard with an old house with a sign for sale, specially put on glasses to look at it, and his smile was particularly bright.
Then he went to the real estate agent. Start talking to the agent boss.
Fat Uncle said that he once passed through this town, was particularly interested in this place, and planned to retire to buy a house here and settle down for the elderly, and now he just happened to encounter an old house. Although it is very broken, it is also a pleasure to have nothing to tinker with here.
Uncle Fat learned that the old house had been sold for five years, and there were 7 people in the middle to buy it, but in the end there was no deal. Uncle Fat's estimate of this old house is 9000-9500.
However, when the intermediary boss said the price, he was surprised, 50,000 pieces, more than five times the price, which is why it has not been sold for five years, for the boss just knows that the owner of this old house lost his son a few years ago, perhaps he wants to sell a good price for the elderly.
Although the fat uncle was also surprised, he was still very interested in this old house, and even refused to recommend other houses by the agent boss.
In the end, the fat uncle said that he should go and talk to the owner of the old house himself.
In this way, the fat uncle left the real estate agent and went to the old house.
Before the fat uncle came to the old house, the real estate agent had already told the hostess about the buyer.
Seeing the buyer, the old woman said that if you are here to bargain with me, then leave early, there is no need to spare time.
Obviously, the old woman knew all kinds of things about the buyer, and the fat uncle said directly: If I am not interested, I will not come.
After several inquiries and chats, the old woman knew the general situation of this fat uncle,
Fat Uncle said that he often passes by here, he is a businessman, he has made a lot of money, he retired a few months ago, and he wants to come here to settle down for the elderly. And this house is the most suitable for himself, there is no special reason, although the old woman repeatedly asked, but the fat uncle did not continue to explain.
When it comes to the price, it is another entanglement, just when the old woman wants to drive the fat uncle away, the fat uncle said that he is not short of money, enough to pay such a price. I have worked hard all my life, made a lot of money, my wife died a few years ago, and I did not have a son and a half daughter, so the money I earned was naturally used to enjoy, and I would not care about the price.
The fat uncle intended to buy the house at the price of the old woman.
The old woman asked the fat uncle to talk to the agent on the phone and tell them that they were going to buy the house.
And the old woman herself began to prepare lemonade for the fat uncle, so that he could drink it and listen to herself tell the history of the house.
The fat uncle drank lemonade, and the old woman told the history of the old house, especially the story of her young son.
She said that her younger son was the most beloved of everyone, and she especially showed the photo of her younger son to the fat uncle.
The old woman said that the younger son has ideals and ambitions, unlike other children, especially want to go to the big city, so he and the younger son have not met for nine years, but the son will send himself money every month, making her think that her son is mixing well in the big city.
Then one day in the middle of the night, my son came home carrying a large black bag. The old woman was very excited, but she also felt a little uneasy.
However, the son said that he had driven the road for a day, was very tired, and he was fed up with the work in the city, so he quit his job and wanted to rest at home for a while.
When the old woman took her son's black bag upstairs, the son was very angry and lost his temper with his mother, the mother said that he just wanted to take out his luggage, and the son quickly apologized to the mother, explaining that what was in the bag was not his own luggage, but office things, although the son repeatedly explained that he only resigned, nothing happened, but the mother had a premonition that something bad had happened.
In this way, the son rested at home for a long time, until one night, the old woman heard a quarrel downstairs, and when she went downstairs, the son lay on the ground, and the son was killed.
Later, when the police and detectives came to his house, the old woman learned that her son had robbed the bank, and the son escaped home with the money, and was finally discovered by an accomplice, who came to ask for the money he deserved, and killed his son.
But the old woman also knew that the stolen money had not been found, of course, she did not tell the police, began to look for the murderer of her son, and thought of a way to sell the house at a high price to lure out the murderer.
After waiting for five full years, it has finally arrived.
The fat uncle who bought the house had finished drinking the lemonade, and the old woman said do you know why I am telling you this?
The fat uncle still pretended not to know anything, or was deliberately tempting the old woman.
The old woman said she did not know where her son had hidden the black bag in the house, but only wanted to leave it for the murderer of her son.
Of course, when Uncle Fat continued to ask how you knew who the murderer was, the old woman's answer surprised him.
The old woman said firmly, I sold the house for 50,000 yuan, and only those who know that there are 200,000 people hiding here will pay more than four times the house price, and that person is the murderer of his son.
At this time, the fat uncle continued to pretend to be calm, and instead praised the old woman for being very smart.
The old woman said: I am not smart, just patient, I know that one day you will come back to withdraw the money, all I have done is wait. Until wait until the man who paid a lot of money for this house.
When the fat uncle saw that he had been exposed, he wanted to threaten the old woman, but he would never think that the lemonade he drank was poisonous.
The fat uncle finally fell.
Finally, the old woman called the agent and said that the fat uncle finally decided not to want it, or continue to sell.
The old woman smiled, thinking that she had finally taken revenge.
Although the old mother is vicious, this is a manifestation of maternal love, although her son has done something wrong, but as a mother, she must also avenge her son, find the murderer, and cannot let him die in vain.
Such a short film and Wu Zhongtian's short film comparison can be clearly found that it is exactly the same.
The whole structure and story content are consistent, does Wu Zhongtian dare to say that he is original?
Wu Zhongtian, should stand up to give the public an explanation, rather than being clever and deceitful, but also praised by the judges and producers, it can be said that it is an adaptation of Hitchcock, combined with Jiang Taigong fishing, no one will be disgusted, but it is too unkind to say that it is his own original.
