"Because I'm Guo Jingming, it seems that whatever I do, it's wrong."
2020, on the evening of December 21, screenwriters Yu Fei, Song Fangjin,
Posted a joint letter on social platforms that "Plagiarists should not be role models",
Guo Jingming, who directly pointed out that there was a bad track record of plagiarism, still appeared in the variety show as a program mentor and guest.
And carry out topic hype, attract people's attention.
They called for an immediate end to the publicity and hype of these "bad practitioners",
And make corresponding modifications and adjustments to the relevant programs that have been broadcast,
Plagiarists are not given any stage and banished from the public media.
This post caused the crazy approval of the majority of netizens.
This undoubtedly pushed Guo Jingming to the cusp of public opinion.
Young writers who were once supported by thousands of people and won countless awards, but now they are repeatedly criticized.
Some abusive words come to the fore: plagiarism dogs, hypocrisy, ostentatious wealth, past writers, and so on.
People can't help but wonder when Guo Jingming fell from the "peak" to the "bottom".
Was it when the court announced that Guo Jingming had plagiarized Zhuang Yu's novel and refused to apologize?
Or from the time when Xing harassed male employees and spread gossip with Zhu Zixiao?
All the results of this world are not produced for no reason, and any public opinion must have its own reasons.
In layman's terms, there is a cause and effect.
From unlimited scenery to annoying everyone, how did he smash his job step by step?
After reading all these things he did, it was not surprising at all.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12">01</h1>
2020 is undoubtedly the most controversial year on Guo Jingming's life path.
He participated in the variety show "Actors Please Take Place" and was angered by Li Chengru: at a young age, you must know how to respect people.
Taught by Chen Kaige: Young people should know how to listen.
This also made netizens speak one after another: How did Guo Jingming come from to board the director's seat of "Director Please Take Place"?
In this year, his "Qingya Collection" was forced to be taken down, and the "plagiarism door" of 2006 once again appeared in the public eye.
This pile after pile is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Guo Jingming.
As the saying goes: the wall is pushed down by everyone, and the drum is broken by thousands of people.
At this time, everyone may start to insult with the trend, but no one will remember Guo Jingming's achievements at his peak.
Now he is the memory of some post-80s and post-90s readers, and Guo Jingming's books accompany them throughout their youth.
At that time, more than two million fans were waiting for his new work every year.
As long as a book is published, it needs at least 14 printing houses to print at the same time, so that it can be sold.
At that time, as soon as "Magic City" was released, sales exceeded 1 million copies.
At that time, basically every primary and secondary school student would have a book called "Magic City" in their hands.
The release of "Magic City" earned him the first pot of gold in his life, a number that many people have been out of reach in their lifetimes.
He bought a villa, opened his own studio, started writing books, set up a company, became chairman, and changed careers to director.
It may have been that the flowers and applause came too suddenly and too warmly, catching him off guard.
Guo Jingming made a lot of money in his field and he lived a luxurious life of a drunken fan.
But no one would have thought that before the release of "Magic City", he was still a poor student studying at a university in Shanghai.
Later, when I got rich, I wore a CK underwear, and I had to expose the CK logo.
Even the hair had to be dyed close to the color of gold.
I don't know if it was the poverty that had left a shadow in his heart that he would do it.
Later, in the interview, he generously admitted that this was because of his inferiority, so he would expose his wealth to the surface.
As for why he had low self-esteem, it all had to start from when he was a child.
In 1983, Guo Jingming was born in a warm and harmonious family in Zigong, Sichuan.
His father works in a state-owned enterprise and his mother is a bank clerk, so Guo Jingming's family is not poor.
I thought that a family could live happily ever after for a lifetime.
But in 1987, Heaven made a big joke about the family.
4-year-old Guo Jingming was diagnosed with severe "sepsis",
This is undoubtedly a major blow to families that are not very wealthy.
Sepsis at that time was an extremely rare and difficult disease, and the medical conditions were not very developed.
But Guo Jingming's parents did not abandon him because of this, but insisted on taking him to the hospital.
But life in the hospital is very boring, and he is very envious of other children who can play games outside.
But over time, he also gradually accepted the fact that he was sick and treated in the hospital.
So what did he use to spend this year-round life? That is – reading.
In this way, at a young age, he fell in love with reading, fell in love with writing, and fell in love with the charm of words.
In the past few years in the hospital, he not only learned all the knowledge from the first grade to the fifth grade of primary school,
I also read many world famous books, the most typical of which is "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
In the company of the book, Guo Jingming's illness was finally cured.
He also began to start going to school like a normal child.
Because he has a good foundation, Guo Jingming's grades are among the best in the class, and the teacher also likes him.
However, because of sepsis, Guo Jingming's height will always be shorter than other children.
Other children always looked down on him and didn't want to play with him.
Lonely, he could only spend his days with books, sometimes writing something on a blank piece of paper.
In 1995, Guo Jingming, a second-year junior high school student, with the encouragement of his teacher, wrote a poem "Loneliness", which was also his debut work.
"Loneliness" was published by the national public journal "Life Sixteen Seventeen".
At that time, Guo Jingming, who was only 12 years old, received a payment for a manuscript in his life.
He was happy, and he thought it was the best recognition of his level of writing.
This also made him understand that it turns out that writing and publishing articles can also make money.
But Guo Jingming also understands that this is just a drizzle for a real writer.
If he wants to be famous, if he wants to be famous, he has to put more effort into it.
As a result, Guo Jingming signed up for the new concept essay contest of Sprout magazine.
In order to be able to come out on top, Guo Jingming bought 7 copies of "Sprout" magazine in one go, and wrote his own different articles on 7 registration forms.
Finally, kung fu pays off.
That year, Guo Jingming won the first prize in the Third National New Concept Essay Competition with "If There Is No Sun Tomorrow".
The reason why Guo Jingming worked so hard to win the award was because if he won the competition, it was possible to enter his ideal university.
So the next year, Guo Jingming once again signed up for the Fourth National New Concept Essay Competition.
There is no doubt that he still won the first place.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="159">02</h1>
However, it backfired.
Although Guo Jingming entered his ideal university, he was transferred to the film and television art engineering major.
The sense of difference from small cities to large cities also appeared in Guo Jingming's body.
At that time, 95% of the students at Shanghai University were Shanghai natives, and even the teachers spoke Shanghainese in class.
And there is no shortage of rich people in Shanghai, and the students around them are wearing brand names and using the latest mobile phones.
And Guo Jingming didn't even have the money to go to the restaurant to eat, so he couldn't go to the canteen to eat.
He felt squeezed out by his classmates, and he felt alien to the city of Shanghai.
He secretly made up his mind that one day he would make a difference and become a rich man.
During his college years, Guo Jingming did not give up writing, but always insisted.
Until 2002, Guo Jingming met the noble man in his life, Shi Xiangxuan.
Shi Xiangxuan valued Guo Jingming's talent and suggested that the long story of "Magic City", which was popular in "Sprouts", be completed.
As a result, in 2003, Guo Jingming's novel "Magic City" swept the major sales charts as soon as it was published.
But at that time, some fans of Japanese manga found that Guo Jingming's novel copied the Japanese manga "Sacred Biography".
However, at that time, the Internet was not developed enough, and public opinion quickly disappeared with the popularity of the novel.
However, only the person concerned understands whether he has plagiarized or not.
If there is, it will be terrible.
At that time, he must have felt that the original plagiarism can also make him fame and fortune,
I feel that I used to spend less energy writing than I did to copy it directly.
Sure enough, as expected. With the momentum of success, Guo Jingming successively published his second novel, "How Much Do You Know About Flowers in Your Dreams".
Guo Jingming certainly would not have thought that the publication of "How Much Do You Know About Flowers in Your Dreams" would be the first major rock in his life.
The novel was serialized first in Sprout magazine and then published by the press.
This time the momentum is even stronger, less than a month after the publication and distribution, sales have exceeded 600,000.
However, as the sales of "How Much Do You Know About Flowers in Dreams" continue to rise, the same negative news is also coming.
Some netizens found that Guo Jingming's "How Much Do You Know About Flowers in Your Dreams" is a copy of writer Zhuang Yu's "Inside and Outside the Circle".
Subsequently, in 2004, the writer Zhuang Yu accused Guo Jingming of using methods such as makeovers, character misalignment, and point-to-order.
Plagiarized his original work "Inside the Circle and Outside the Circle".
But the young and vigorous Guo Jingming naturally did not admit to being killed.
Once you admit it, won't you waste so many years?
However, Zhuang Yu was naturally angry, and in a fit of anger, he sued Guo Jingming in court.
The verdict of the first instance was that Guo Jingming's plagiarism was established, but he still firmly denied it and appealed.
But justice may be late, but he will always come.
After 3 years of plagiarism, the plagiarism case has come to an end.
The court formally ruled that Guo Jingming was established for plagiarism and compensated Zhuang Yu 200,000 yuan.
Stop selling books and apologize publicly to Zhuang Yu.
This makes the majority of netizens say bluntly: It is really gratifying.
However, Guo Jingming then only paid compensation and refused to apologize.
Subsequently, Guo Jingming was labeled a plagiarized writer.
However, in the past few years of fighting with Zhuang Yu, Guo Jingming has not been idle and has not stopped making money.
In 2004, Guo Jingming chose to take a break from school, and 5 people formed a team and established a studio called "Island".
Until 2006, Guo Jingming established Keai Culture Communication Co., Ltd.
In 2007, he was also recruited to join the Chinese Writers Association.
This move of the Writers Association stunned everyone, can the plagiarists determined by the court also join the Writers Association?
And in the next few years, Guo Jingming's writing career entered a period of sunshine.
He has successively published the "Small Times" trilogy, "The Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", "Wuji", "Sorrow Against the Current into a River", "Critical • Traces" and so on.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="155">03</h1>
In 2012, Guo Jingming began to enter the entertainment industry.
With his film and television major at university, he began to work as a director on his own.
The first work he shot was an adaptation of his novel "Little Times".
The movie starring some handsome men and beautiful women, once broadcast, was deeply loved by the audience.
Two days later, the cumulative box office of the country exceeded 100 million.
Guo Jingming also debuted in the directorial world with "Little Times" and fought a victorious turnaround battle.
Since then, Guo Jingming has lived a life of drunken gold fans and lived in a large villa.
Even Yang Mi said: Many luxurious things in the Little Fourth Family have subverted their own values.
But the good times are not long, in August 2017, Guo Jingming's signed writer Li Feng,
Posted a long article on the public platform "About Guo Jingming to Everyone",
In the text, he accused director Guo Jingming of "xing harassment".
And also mentioned: "Guo Jingming often harasses and violates male authors of the same company, and as far as he knows, there are five people." ”
To this end, Guo Jingming immediately issued a response: 1. Completely fabricated. 2. Handled by a lawyer.
Subsequently, a lawsuit was filed, accusing Li Feng of damaging his reputation.
But the court is a fair and just place, and naturally it will not protect you because you are a celebrity.
On May 14, the court dismissed Guo Jingming's lawsuit against Li Feng in the first instance.
However, Guo Jingming was still not satisfied and chose to appeal.
The court of second instance still rejected Guo Jingming's lawsuit against Li Feng.
Then, the matter was over.
However, at this moment, Zhu Zixiao and Guo Jingming inexplicably appeared on the hot search.
Zhu Zixiao believes that everyone also knows that the filming of "Let's See the Meteor Shower" successfully went out of the circle.
According to media reports, Zhu Zixiao and Guo Jingming had an improper relationship before.
And Zhu Zixiao was also diagnosed by Traditional Chinese medicine on a certain show, which is a bit incredible.
Some people say that as soon as Zhu Zixiao entered Tianyu Media, he obtained excellent resources because of the reward of accompanying Guo Jingming.
But since this matter was exposed, Zhu Zixiao has rarely appeared in the public eye.
Now he only occasionally shoots and shoots, and nothing happens to be broadcast live on the dating platform.
However, Guo Jingming is still active on the TV screen.
Until 2016, Guo Jingming spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build "Traces" and it was difficult to capture the hearts of the audience.
It only grossed 360 million in 13 days of release.
Originally, I wanted to rely on "Traces of the Lord" to wash myself white again, but I didn't know that it was so miserable.
This made Guo Jingming, who was already full of black spots, even more emotionally broken.
At the launch of the national roadshow of "Traces", tears spilled on the scene and excitedly said:
"Is it because my name is Guo Jingming, so everything is wrong?"
Is it only when I die that you will not curse the Traces? ”
However, at this time, Guo Jingming has completely used writing as a tool to make money.
People are not scolding Guo Jingming or "Traces of The Lord", but they feel that Guo Jingming is too "commercial" of his works.
It was not a mountain that destroyed him, but the sand in the middle of the mountain.
Subsequently, Guo Jingming, who had been silent for several years, once again appeared in the public's field of vision.
He had dyed his once blonde hair black, and perhaps what he wanted to tell everyone was that he had started from scratch.
In 2020, Guo Jingming participated in the variety show "Actors Please Take Place" and served as a director in it.
However, since the beginning of the show, it has been controversial, in addition to the superb acting skills of the contestants and the sharp comments of the directors,
Guo Jingming's S card to He Changxi is also controversial.
Some netizens joked: Where Guo Jingming gave the S card, it is obviously the room card given.
Even Teacher Li Chengru began to publicly diss Guo Jingming.
Originally wanted to rely on this show to wash white again, who knows and provoked another commotion.
But I have to say that Guo Jingming is indeed a person who dares to speak, he dares to express his true ideas and dares to try.
But in this mixed entertainment circle, such a person will suffer a lot.
Until the end of 2020, Guo Jingming was completely pulled off the altar.
The joint hands of 111 screenwriters tore Guo Jingming, making him unable to withstand the pressure,
Finally, on December 31, he apologized to Zhuang Yu and admitted that he had plagiarized.
At this point, Guo Jingming still thought that he could wash himself and turn over.
He wrote in the article that if Zhuang Yu did not accept his compensation, he would donate the money to charity.
Shrewd, he also wants everyone to think that he is a kind philanthropist.
However, Zhuang Yu did not eat his set at all, and directly said that he would set up a counter-plagiarism fund for the compensation.
This counterattack gave Guo Jingming a blow in the head.
Immediately after, "Qingya Collection" was also forced to be removed due to plagiarism, and Guo Jingming was completely banned in the industry.
To this day, Guo Jingming still has no news of a comeback.
Guo Jingming, an overly shrewd person, always puts interests first.
In the eyes of such people, nothing else matters except success.
But what Guo Jingming did seriously could be done beautifully.
It's just that he finally played his own good hand.
