Praise for 40 years of people to turn over?
The hot search that came out two days ago gave Sir a shock.
#Andy Lau plagiarized A sheng#.
#四川导演起诉刘德华监制主演的扫毒2抄袭 #
What's up?
Casually checked, things from beginning to end like a joke.
Released in 2019, Andy Lau and Gu Tianle starred in "Sweeping Drugs 2", which was accused of plagiarizing the online movie "Perfect Lover" 15 years ago.
15 years ago? Online movies? Haven't heard of it?
Another one to touch the porcelain.
Wait a minute.
Looking more closely, Sir was a little sweaty for Hua Tsai.
The whistleblower is the official blog of the company where Gou Mou, the director of "Perfect Lover", works.
Do not make a statement, directly illuminate the screenshot of the court acceptance document.
In the screenshot of the document, Andy Lau and the six producers of the movie "Sweeping Drugs 2" were sued in court for infringement disputes.
The director put forward "six major crimes", which seem to be clearly organized:
Request the court to find that the seven defendants infringed the adaptation rights and filming rights of the plaintiff's film "Perfect Lover";
Ordered the above-mentioned seven defendants to stop all relevant distribution activities such as theatrical broadcast, television broadcast, information network dissemination, audio-visual production and sales of the movie "Fight Against Drugs 2: Showdown between Heaven and Earth";
Ordered defendant Andy Lau to publish a public apology statement recognized by the plaintiff in a prominent position on Sina.com, Sohu.com, and Phoenix.com; ordered the above-mentioned seven defendants to jointly compensate the plaintiff for 99.99999 million yuan;
Ordered the above-mentioned seven defendants to bear the reasonable expenses of RMB600,000 incurred by the plaintiff for the case;
The above-mentioned seven defendants were ordered to bear all the litigation costs of the case.
Not only did he light up the indictment, but Gou also entrusted a lawyer to send a letter, and righteously asked the Academy Awards Association to revoke all the honors of the golden statues in "Anti-Drug 2".
After going through the legal process, Gou Dao was interviewed and added another hammer.
"This is not the first time Andy Lau has plagiarized."
In 2007, the newly graduated director Gou submitted a script to Andy Lau's company, Yingyi Entertainment, called "Singing with Andy Lau".
8 years later, I did not have the following script setting, which is very similar to Andy Lau's investment in the movie "My Girlhood".

This is direct hammer twice plagiarism ah.
If it is all like the director said, then hua Tsai's reputation in the 40 years of debut must not be disillusioned?
After the incident, the defence also had some responses.
One of the six major production companies, Universal Entertainment, issued a statement with a firm attitude:
The film is entirely original, the case is handled by a lawyer, and Universal no longer responds.
On the one hand, there are countless masterpieces, and the evergreen top stream in the circle with rich connections and popularity.
On one side, there is an unknown small director on the edge.
Online public opinion has been two-sided.
Is it a malicious touch of porcelain, or a desperate right defense?
Who should I stand up for?
Note:
Sir respects the final result of the law, plagiarism is not a crime that can be established by a few statements, and it is not a black spot that can be washed away by reputation and resources.
But.
Sir then savored many of the details of the incident and found it really strange.
Plaintiff: "Perfect Lover".
In 2006, it launched Youku and Sohu, a 105-minute online movie.
(Youku release version is called "Spring Farewell Love").
Baidu Encyclopedia introduction, brilliant record
In 2006, it achieved the first place in sales performance of "Chinese Movies" on TV on demand in North America for three consecutive months, and won the top three films on demand on Youku throughout the year.
belch......
Sir is not quite sure what the 2006 online movie market is, but if according to Baidu, a network movie with such a good record...
Why does Douban only have 7 short comments???
There are 7 short comments, and 4 new comments because of this incident.
The most recent real comment about the movie, last February.
Defendant: "Sweeping Drugs 2: Showdown Between Heaven and Earth".
Released in the mainland on July 5, 2019, Qiu Litao's Kuaishou commercial film starred Andy Lau and Gu Tianle. With a box office of 1.2 billion, it is one of the most successful Hong Kong films in the market in recent years.
Where exactly is the plagiarism?
Sir has not found the full film resources or related scripts of the plaintiff Gou Yusheng's "Perfect Lover" on the Internet.
Only plot synopsis.
North American release in 2006
The girl was raped, and the rapist became her boyfriend.
Between "love" and "truth", both the girl and the perpetrator are on the verge of love and hate.
(Fu Shenxing: ??? ）
2016 Director's 10th Anniversary Release
Ding Li, a "yin and yang man" in the business world, is a serious businessman on the surface, but in private he is a smuggler.
He was put on a green hat and killed his wife.
The wife and the righteous brother and the righteous father, one choose revenge, and the other is mad.
In the end, Ding Li and his brother-in-law dueled by the lake.
In short, it is the enmity and hatred of 4 men: male Liang Feng (A Sheng), male er Ding Li, male third policeman Zhang Qiang, and male one and male two once supported the elder Yao Kun (righteous father).
What about Sweep 2?
Yu Shuntian (Andy Lau), a philanthropist and financial magnate who was jealous of his father being destroyed by drugs as a child, sent a huge bounty to arrest Jizo (Gu Tianle).
Police officer Lin Zhengfeng (Miao Qiaowei) was originally committed to searching for evidence and arresting Jizo, but the drug dealer was threatened by a huge reward, and he felt helpless when performing the task of protecting drug dealers, but he was tempted by Yu Shuntian's bid and fell into the psychological struggle of black and white good and evil.
It turned out that Yu Shuntian and Jizo had an ulterior motive with the same door, and a duel between heaven and earth was about to erupt.
Synopsis:
A love kill strung together by "wearing a green hat";
A three-way duel.
Where is it like?
Oh yes, the plaintiff's side of the guide also intimately drew a comparison chart of the relationship between the characters.

Now I see:
You are also a double male master out of the same door, you are also a brother for many years against each other...
Not copied yet?
If this far-fetched character relationship alone is a copy, who will explain it to The Underworld (2005), Lame Hao (1991), Righteous Courage (1989) and O's Triad Archives (1999)?
Not only the relationship between the characters, Gou director also showed the emotional lines of the two films to continue to supplement.
"Perfect Lover": The male protagonist's ex-girlfriend is the second wife of the male, and the male protagonist and the current girlfriend broke up because of lies.
"Sweeping Poison 2": The man's ex-wife and the fat man (??? It is a boyfriend and girlfriend, and the male protagonist breaks up with the lawyer's wife (because of concealing the existence of the son).
Sir is a bit of an IQ short of energy.
People also very intimately leave a suspense in the "evidence":
Who is this "fat man"?
Sir pulled "Sweep 2" several times in a row, and did not see the key figure in the evidence chain " Fat Man " , hoping that the sharp-eyed poisonous rice would find a wake-up call.
In addition, it is also said that the male one and the male third meeting scene and the order of appearance are "the same"...

The full picture is not seen and will not be commented on.
In short, what are the similarities between "Sweeping Drugs 2" and "Perfect Lover", it is not worth talking about plagiarism, because I have not seen the entire film of the latter, Sir can not determine.
But some things can still be analyzed objectively.
The "complaint" process is simply too flawed.
In the lawyer's letter sent by the plaintiff to the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, because it involved plagiarism of the script, it explicitly requested that all awards won by "Sweeping Drugs 2" be cancelled.
However, none of the awards for Sweep 2 are related to the script.
The center of this farce also has a striking name:
One of the defendants, Andy Lau.
Whether it is interviewed, or blogged, or the media illustration for the director's voice, Andy Lau must be mentioned.
Let's take a look at Gou's accusations
"Plagiarism from the content of the story to the relationships of the characters, the ending, and the shooting method."
Stories and characters are the work of screenwriters; shooting is the director's pot.
The script shot collided, listed the evidence, sued the director and screenwriter, there was nothing wrong with it.
But his lawsuit is against the six major film production companies and Andy Lau.
What the hell is going on with Andy Lau?
Because Andy Lau is the executive producer of "Sweeping Drugs 2: Showdown Between Heaven and Earth"?
In that year, Andy Lau came back after falling off his horse, in order to repay the debt, he starred in "Sweeping Drugs 2" with a reduced salary, and also served as a supervising producer, which can have a box office share.
The producer is the intermediary between the director and the producer, who must coordinate resources and have a say in the creation when needed.
The Chinese-speaking area of China has such an important role, similar to between the director and the producer, there must be someone with certain experience to support and grasp the new director, and give him some help in his creation.
Wang Xiaoshuai (Zhihu)
Makes sense.
Indeed qualified to be responsible for the film.
that.
Why didn't the remaining five sue together?
In the interview, the director explained the reason: Andy Lau "plagiarized" more than once.
In 2007, shortly after graduating, the director sent his own film script "Singing with Andy Lau" to Andy Lau and his company "Yingyi Entertainment Co., Ltd."
In 2015, there was an idol who was Andy Lau, and finally successfully listened to Andy Lau sing the movie "My Girlhood".
Gou Stressed that the plot collided.
The female protagonist likes Andy Lau very much, the male protagonist is jealous and breaks up with him, and At the end, Andy Lau appears and persuades the two to reunite.
Maybe the director didn't look closely at "My Girlhood".
Lin Zhenxin and Xu Taiyu were always ambiguous, and they never punctured the layer of window paper. The two separated because Xu Taiyu immigrated to the United States.
The embarrassing thing is that in the "collision script" of "My Girlhood", Andy Lau has a cameo is not wrong, and the producer also has him is not fake.
But the script was given by director Chen Yushan of "My Girlhood"...
When Sir flipped through our Weibo, he found that he had begun to defend his rights as early as May 21 this year.
@Yu Qian, you have infringed.
Throughout this article, we seem to be the biggest victims of plagiarism of ideas in the entire film circle.
Who caught him copying?
Who copied whom fire?
Sir Gou's talent hopes to one day really see and see.
But there was one thing Sir had to remind him of.
Our company name, is it also a bit fierce?
Plaintiff: Chengdu Global Bona Culture Media Co., Ltd.
Global?
Boehner?
Sir almost believed at first glance, this is a big company.
Wipe your eyes and taste your own:
After the news came out, Bona Pictures quickly broke up with the plaintiff:
Nothing to do with me.
I am Li Kui, not Li Ghost.
In addition, there is another release of the movie "Perfect Lover":
Fox Brothers (Pictures).
Gee.
True Brothers, the idea of naming is the same.
Fox, who is far away in Hollywood, did not expect that he had a more miserable encounter in his lifetime than being acquired: hitting a name.
And director Gou Yusheng not only listed hard-core evidence this time.
There is also a follow-up "upper value".
In the microblog of the organizing committee of the "Sichuan is still beautiful" event that he himself was the main planner, he left a small essay shouting to Andy Lau.
Throughout, it is full of resentment that Director Ah Sheng's talent has not met.
It can only be said that whether it is the self-directed and self-acted "Perfect Lover" or the self-directed and self-acted perfect farce, director A Sheng very much wants to be recognized and known.
In this voice manuscript about the beginning and end of plagiarism, most of them revolve around Gou Yusheng's personal backstory.
Turning over and over again, but not meeting with talent.
When the division was unknown, he found another way.
High.
The above is the general context of this incident.
Sir once again stressed that the results are waiting for the court to investigate, believing that the cleaners will clean themselves up, and even more believe that the law will return justice to every creator.
But Sir wanted to say more
Of course, we should fully support each creator to maintain his own works and achievements, but what should be more vigilant is the malicious scheme behind the name of "maintenance".
I remembered the story I told in an interview when Andy Lau debuted 40 years ago.
At the beginning of entering the music scene, he gave Huang Xia's first impression:
"I've never seen someone so stupid as to write a song."
Hua Tsai did not complain, was scolded, and wrote again.
Until one day.
Huang Xia read hua tsai's lyrics, directly in the column, and praised it, the classic "Ice Rain".
Create like this, be human like this.
This is also what Sir wants to say to every Chinese filmmaker.
juvenile.
You can be stupid.
But please don't speculate, please don't be slippery.
