As one of the most promising costume dramas in recent years, "Spring Flower Weary" can be described as a heavy investment and a strong cast, and netizens have been looking forward to it for a long time. But after the completion of this long-awaited production, a series of "plagiarism suspicions" broke out. What's going on? Let's see what happened.
If you don't advance, you will retreat, and you dare to copy the 20-year-old drama!
To talk about this "plagiarism storm", we have to start with Wu Jinyan's style. As soon as a styling photo was exposed, it caused a collective melting pot in the entire entertainment industry! The reason you would never think - Wu Jinyan's costume outfit almost copied Jia Jingwen's classic style in "Xiao Li Flying Knife" more than 20 years ago!
Back then, "Xiao Li Flying Knife" was popular through half the sky, Hu Jun, Huang Zongze, An Yixuan and other powerful actors gathered, the plot was bizarre and exciting, and the word of mouth was full of praise. Among them, the role of Sun Xiaohong played by Jia Jingwen can be called a classic, and the shape of the red headscarf, white clothes and red skirt became popular at that time and became the long-cherished wish of countless girls.
I never thought that today, 20 years later, this classic of the most rational name has actually reappeared! In Wu Jinyan's "Spring Flower Weariness," isn't she wearing the same big red bow headscarf? The costume is even more white and red, and it is a copy of Sun Xiaohong! Even the little flowers on the headscarf are exactly the same.
In this regard, netizens were really speechless: "It's really an absolute dog's eye, I didn't expect Yu Zheng, the so-called 'national drama boss', to be helpless in this regard, and to 'borrow' so unscrupulously?
Refuse copycats, classics deserve to be original
For this behavior of stirring up the former classics, netizens condemned it. After all, a shape like Sun Xiaohong has been imprinted in the memory of a generation. It is indeed against the duty of copying ancient innovations to directly copy the new drama.
Besides, even if it's just "borrowing" from the previous work, it's really substandard. Once upon a time, no matter how ordinary a first-line director was, he would still pay attention to avoiding suspicion. Otherwise, it is inevitable that the pursuit of art will be devalued and shoddy. The current Yu Zheng is so unparticular and self-respecting, he can't help but live up to the title of "national drama boss".
However, what is even more worrying is that Wu Jinyan and Jia Jingwen are very different in temperament. When Alyssa Jia played Sun Xiaohong, her smart eyes and innocent and lovely smile penetrated together with the simple headscarf dress, forming a simple and innocent charm.
However, when it comes to Wu Jinyan, this delicate and lively image seems a bit nondescript. Wu Jinyan became popular because of "Yanxi Raiders", giving people the impression of being dignified, gentle and graceful, and a sense of disobedience with Sun Xiaohong's image. Netizens sarcastically said: "Wu Jinyan's cold temperament doesn't match Sun Xiaohong's straightforward playfulness, Yu Zheng's operation is really high!"
Plagiarism is not limited to himself, and the male protagonist has also been recruited?
The online discussion doesn't stop there. Soon, Liu Xueyi, the actor of "Spring Flower Weariness", also fell into the "plagiarism whirlpool" because of wearing a vermilion gown.
People of insight found at a glance that the set of vermilion robes worn by Liu Xueyi was somewhat similar to the appearance of the protagonist of the Japanese comic "Su'e"! People can't help but question that the design team of the costume has really taken plagiarism to a new height.
It seems that today's film and television drama styling design has completely fallen into the quagmire of "aesthetic fatigue". The crew seems to lack novelty and creativity, and can only "copy and paste" layer by layer.
Once, we saw "Smiling Proud Jianghu" starring Li Ming and "The Condor Heroes" starring Liu Yifei, and we could always be eye-catching. The design of those shapes is full of endless creativity, and the personality of the characters is also vividly expressed through these details.
Now it seems that everything is in the past tense. The current film and television dramas are either "one face of a thousand people", or they are copied and pasted with classics without carving, which is inevitably staggering.
Some entertainment critics sighed: "The fast-paced life has made many people lose patience and the industry has lost the motivation to innovate." At present, it is a bit child's play to only make money quickly, but ignoring the artistic quality. "
There are bursts of plagiarism in film and television variety shows, and eating leftovers has become a common problem
In fact, "Spring Flower Weariness" is by no means the first film and television work to fall into the whirlpool of plagiarism. As early as a few months ago, "Fox Hunting" starring Jin Dong and Baby was severely criticized because the plot was similar to the British drama "Suspect Tracking".
In the face of doubts, the drama party justifiably defended: "There are traditions in the industry that we learn from, and we have not plagiarized." But this reason does not convince most viewers, after all, the line between borrowing and plagiarism is blurred.
In addition to TV dramas, even high-profile variety shows often fall into the quagmire of "plagiarism". At the end of last year, Wang Yuan and Wang Jiaer's "wolf" appearance in "Journey to the West GSN" collided with the image in the game "Wolf: Shadow Double Death", which caused heated discussions.
Of course, no work of art is completely new. But after all, there is a boundary between plagiarism and borrowing, and once it is crossed, it will cause public dissatisfaction and verbal criticism. Let's take "Spring Flower Past" as an example, if you want to say that it borrows the styling elements of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", it can barely be said. can be copied exactly the same, which is really a bit lacking in creativity and sincerity in respecting classic works.
The doll can't play anymore, it's better to follow the trend than to step on the solid foundation
Many entertainment observers believe that the root cause of plagiarism in film and television dramas lies in the pursuit of quick money. There are more and more variety shows operated by celebrities, and online variety shows and short videos are also rapidly eating away at attention resources, making the drama producers have to speed up the pace.
In such a high-pressure situation, the crew would rather "take it" and make a big fuss about classic old works, rather than invest too much effort in modeling design. Not only does it save time, but it also saves a lot of budget. "Since everyone likes the elements that have been successful in the past, why don't you continue to use them?" This seems to have become an unwritten rule for them.
Although it seems to be a good trick, this style of not being able to open the pot is ultimately a symptom rather than a cure. Plagiarism can be expedient, but there will come a time when you will lose your audience. What is truly memorable are the classics that have been created with sincerity.
Completely cut off the road of "copying scriptures".
Back to the "plagiarism farce" of "Spring Flower Weariness". Despite the controversy, as long as the quality of this drama is excellent, it will eventually be able to turn things around. Judging from the current spoilers, the crew has put a lot of effort into costumes, props, set surveys, etc.
Perhaps, the difference in temperament between Wu Jinyan and Jia Jingwen is just a deliberate design to show the different stages of Sun Xiaohong's life after "leaving the cabinet"?
We'll see, but we also hope it's not wishful thinking on the part of "Spring Flowers". After all, for a blockbuster drama that costs hundreds of millions, the expectations it carries are so high. Creators must be sincere enough to deal with their work, rather than being tired and hasty.
Only in this way can we get rid of the shackles of aesthetic fatigue and usher in the next spring of film and television entertainment. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, this is a gradual process. But only by insisting on not plagiarizing and persisting diligently can we finally obtain innovative results and make film and television art shine again.
So, readers and friends, what are you most looking forward to the breakthroughs and innovations in "Spring Flowers"? And what classic costume elements will you choose to inherit? Let's wait and see, and look forward to this work to feast our eyes!
