VUP, that is, virtual anchors, its essence is the traditional network anchor with a two-dimensional image, although the essence is no different from the traditional anchor, but many two-dimensional netizens are good at this mouth, once Japan's virtual anchor community hololive was active on the B station for a long time, to the uncle made a lot of money.
Later, because its anchors made inappropriate remarks about China's territorial sovereignty and were boycotted by netizens, Holo directly announced its withdrawal from the mainland market, but Station B did not give up the fragrant food of VUP, and also increased the investment and construction of VUP under its own platform.
According to statistics, in 2021, some of the head virtual anchors of station B, including Asoul, have earned hundreds of millions of yuan just by live tipping, according to the share of station B, uncle has at least drawn tens of millions from this, which does not include the sales of some peripheral goods.
Nowadays, the market size of domestic VUP is constantly expanding, there are countless new VUPs appear every month, ordinary anchors will also set a two-dimensional skin live broadcast, even Cai Ming teacher also has a whole image of a dish to communicate with netizens, and as a gathering place for domestic two-dimensional netizens, B station is undoubtedly the main battlefield for the development and operation of VUP.
"The second dimension is also divided into good two-dimensional and bad two-dimensional", just as the well-known two-dimensional critic Mr. Xishun once made a comment on VUP in a live broadcast, ordinary animation is a good two-dimensional, VUP is a typical example of bad two-dimensional, like to watch VUP, and later be stolen tribute.
Not to mention the background of Mr. Xishun's words, now the domestic VUP circle does present an abnormally chaotic state, the anchor circle has some chaos here, the anchor circle does not have here, for example, to copy the B station, this time fell into the V circle unique VUP model plagiarism storm.
Netizen lemon clip recently posted a complaint that Station B copied her VUP image, and the red-haired witch Grecia style she began to use on February 20 last year was stolen by Bilibili's Bilibili e-sports and became the face of its VUP dyeing _Ranoca the new clothes released in December last year.
If you only look at the left and right contrasts, you will find that the two are extremely similar, and after merging the two faces together, you will find that the two faces can fit together perfectly, almost can be called left and right symmetry.
Therefore, this netizen found the official, trying to protect his rights and interests, but the official refused to admit the mistake, but said that basketball and football are round, can not say that basketball copied football or football plagiarized basketball, anime characters are similar in shape, can not be said to be plagiarism.
Funny, in order to prove that the facial features of the two-dimensional characters are actually similar, it is difficult to define the problem of plagiarism, and the official also came up with the image comparison chart of "Original God" and Hololive that seems to have been prepared for a long time.
This picture puts together many proto-god characters and the faces of Holo's VUP, one or two looks as terrifying as the abomination in Warcraft, not to mention how rare the B station has not forgotten how rare the holo itself is, compared with the example given by the clip, the official comparison chart of the rigid set, the left and right sides can not be said to be irrelevant, can only be said to be irrelevant.
This outrageous self-evidence method naturally could not satisfy the clip, so she chose to make this matter public and put it online to seek the support of netizens.
In fact, the shape of dyeing is not just suspected of copying the image of the red-haired witch of the clip, some netizens found that the character's hair light and shadow gradient is also very similar to the painting of mr. ASK, and the light source of the original character is taken care of as a whole, even the character's face has shadows, dyeing this seems to only stitch this part of the hair.
Of course, Yun Youji is not a person who draws circles, and the above analysis also comes from netizens or industry insiders, which does not represent the opinions of Yun Youji, but there are indeed many netizens who quite agree with this point of view, and dyeing painters do have the problem of plagiarism.
Moreover, VUP model plagiarism, B station is not the first time to happen, on August 12, 2020, Bilibili E-sports has issued an apology announcement because of its VUP Lei Age modeling suspected of plagiarizing other VUP, and said that it will prevent such incidents from happening again, and then, it happened again.
In the face of the condemnation of netizens, the dye painter himself stood up, claiming that he did not plagiarize, he himself did not see the red-haired witch of the clip when creating the standing painting, and although it looks more similar, there are still some differences in the facial shape, the jaw line is obviously different, if the two paintings are stacked together, it will be found that it does not coincide perfectly, if you want to fit perfectly, the facial vertical painting must undergo a large deformation to do it.
Well, let's not mention the use of live2d to refute whether there is something wrong with the original character painting, although it seems that this stack of pictures is obviously very similar, so close that even the Gretia painter himself can no longer create such exactly the same eyes, but it is obvious that the painter himself does not think that there is anything wrong with his explanation, in other words, this "professional" explanation is not understood by the majority of netizens.
Interestingly, although in essence, this matter has nothing to do with the virtual anchor of dyeing, after all, she is only the person who spends money to buy the right to use the painting, and the painting is not done by her, but because the dyeing and painting are friends, so after the incident, the first time the dyeing and dyeing stood up, I hope that everyone will not riot her friends again, affecting her normal life.
If plagiarism is established, then the painter is scolded and blamed for himself, doing the wrong thing to attract netizens to insult, he accuses netizens of internet violence, it is really a bit double standard, and the act of dyeing the active pot is too self-sacrificing.
As of now, the official has not given a positive response, some netizens have uploaded several video of stacked image comparison, but also for unknown reasons have been deleted by the B station many times.
From the perspective of Yun Youji, a person outside the industry, not to mention plagiarism, dyeing and dyeing painters should have the behavior of "borrowing", otherwise it is difficult to explain that the two standing paintings that have nothing to do with each other can be so similar, and the official response of the B station is also very stupid, comparing a popular domestic mobile game with the humiliating holo, and the comparison chart is still so clumsy, it is really insulting to the original god.
Of course, the problem of plagiarism is difficult to define in law, network copying is often not enough, expecting B station to apologize is slightly more difficult, video and related topics directly limit the flow of pressure traffic (the workload of the review has increased), Bilibili e-sports below the comment area of the comment area netizens' comments have also been continuously deleted, unless the station can cause a relatively large storm, otherwise the final estimate is not where to go.
Of course, the black history of Station B has gone more, not worse than this one, if there is any substantial impact, it is probably just another batch of Mongolian orders.
