A big gain from watching the third season of "Happy Comedians" is to know Zhang Zidong and Huang Cailun, who were not familiar with the face before, but the two have been eliminated one after another, making many viewers who like them shout pity.

Huang Cailun "Chinese Little Boss"
After the broadcast of the program on February 19, Huang Cailun was eliminated at the bottom of the two episodes, and many viewers shouted that there was a black screen, but the original work he performed in the program on the 19th, "Jingwu Hero", was actually picked up by netizens and plagiarized, and the plagiarism was still the creativity in the 2016 comedy program "gag concert" of Kimchi Country.
Plagiarism, for Huang Cailun, a happy twist "two-dimensional ghost talent", can be described as a rather serious accusation, is it not?
"Heroes of Jingwu"
The show "Jingwu Hero" can be said to be refreshing on the "Comedians" stage, and the story of Chen Zhen's kicking pavilion is well known, but Huang Cailun's work uses the live performance of the "sound effect dislocation terrier" to create laughter, adding surprising laughs to this familiar clip, and indeed it is one of the most impressive works among the "happy comedians" this season.
What is particularly surprising is that Huang Cailun also invited Shi Banyu to assist in the performance, this exclusive voice actor of Xingye, everyone is not familiar with his face, but the voice is absolutely familiar, "Being a person, if there is no dream, what is the difference with salted fish?" As soon as the lines of this play came out, the audience applauded.

However, this show accumulated in the audience vote with the previous number of votes, ranking at the bottom, so that Huang Cailun was eliminated.
Therefore, after the broadcast of the program, many viewers shouted "there is a black screen" and questioned why Huang Cailun's "Jingwu Hero" is obviously of the top quality, why is the number of votes at the bottom?
Huang Cailun's program has been recognized by many viewers, and there are more and more doubts about the "black screen".
After Huang Cailun was eliminated, he posted on Weibo in the early hours of this morning that he had tried his best and that he was "not sorry to leave."
However, when Youku watched the replay, there were many netizens in the bullet screen who said that Huang Cailun's "Jingwu Hero" was plagiarized!
Moreover, many bullet screens mention the Gagman of South Korea.
As a result, in Douban and Weibo, there were also posts by netizens who picked up Huang Cailun's program suspected of plagiarizing a kimchi national program.
Douban netizens pointed out that Huang Cailun copied a comedy program "gag concert" in the kimchi country, and said that "Jingwu Hero" copied the "old hand" of the January 10, 2016 issue of "gag concert".
Douban netizens also pointed out that the sound effect meme of the kimchi national program "Old Hand" has played more than one issue, and each issue is this concept, but the stem is different.
Some netizens on Weibo pointed out that Huang Cailun's creativity was suspected of plagiarism:
So let's compare how similar the show "Veteran" in "Gag Concert" is to "Jingwu Hero".
The show is performed by four actors: Kim Hui-kyung, Song Jae-jin, Ren Jong-hyuk and Shen Wenkui (subtitle group translation).
At the beginning, it is very similar to "Jingwu Hero", all the sound effects artists did not come for some reason, so the actors should perform live according to an unprofessional sound effect, cope with various unexpected situations, and create such a "point" of various misplaced jokes.

Because we are all veterans, we can adapt to changes
In addition to the "sound effect meme", this issue of the "Veteran" program is not similar to the other terriers of Huang Cailun's "Jingwu Hero".
This issue of "Veteran" uses the situation of coaches and players playing basketball, while "Jingwu Hero" uses the situation of Chen Zhen kicking the gym. The "Sound Effect Terrier" in the "sound effect meme" of opening and closing the door, walking, eating, fighting, these terriers appear in "Old Hand" and "Jingwu Hero".
The previous Douban netizen mentioned that there are many episodes of the show "Old Hand", so I searched for another episode of "Old Hand" on the Internet, which was obviously played by the same four actors.
And this show is still called "Old Hand", the Internet also has this show called "Super Funny Korean Stage Drama: The Man Controlled by Sound Effects", the beginning is still the same, the sound effects artist can not come for some reason, so the veterans adapt according to the sound effects given by the sound effects.
The situation of this issue of "Old Hand" has changed, and it is about two brothers eating in a restaurant. Misplaced sound effects also include walking, eating, and fighting. Because the sound effect meme is a big concept, these subtle things are included in the big concept, and those that have collided are counted in the sound effect meme.
Using these two episodes of the "Veteran" program to compare Huang Cailun's "Jingwu Hero", there are many different places, including the reason why the sound engineer cannot come, Huang Cailun's side of the sound effects division is driven away by drunken investors, I think it is to mock the absurd format of laymen guiding insiders.

And Huang Cailun's "Jingwu Hero" and kimchi country's "Old Hand", the biggest similarity is: collision. Our Cantonese-speaking area is called: Crash Bridge. A bridge is a bridge segment, a pip.
Huang Cailun's show, the first half of Chen Zhen's performance of kicking the pavilion, is to pave the way for the back sound effect memes, to make comparisons, and the core is the sound effects memes, and the spiritual core is to mock the investors in the industry who do not know how to pretend to understand that they can take the money and think that they can point fingers. Kimchi Country's program is short and does not express these ironies.
So, is Huang Cailun's "collision with the terrier" and "collision with the bridge" consider plagiarism?
Just as the movie "Charlotte Troubles" before Happy Twist was accused of "plagiarizing" "Peggy Sue Wants to Get Married".
Discussions have been held on the Internet, and several legal circles have been consulted, who said that the copyright defined by China's intellectual property law is to look at the originality of independent ideas and "can be copied in a certain tangible form", while China's copyright law is: only protect expressions, not ideas.
Therefore, if it can be proved that the sound effect meme in the "Old Hand" of the kimchi country is something that everyone will not think of, and the actors who are not original to the kimchi country cannot be imagined, and others cannot think of it, then Huang Cailun will be identified as plagiarism.
On the other hand, if the "sound effect meme" was widely adopted by the stage drama industry before "Old Hand", and it cannot be proved that it belongs to the originality of a person, then Huang Cailun will not be considered plagiarism.
For example, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "Mulan" are both stories about women dressed as men and misplaced love for a long time, but no one says that the two of them copied each other. However, Yu Zheng's "Palace Locks the City" and Qiong Yao's "Plum Blossom Branding" were found by the court to constitute plagiarism.
Qiong Yao and Yu Zheng
At that time, Yu zheng was convicted of plagiarism by the court, and the screenwriters across the country were jubilant, and the court's judgment was written like this——
"The Copyright Law protects expression without extending to thought, distinguishing between thought and expression depends on whether these plots and plots as a whole belong to a general, general narrative mode, or whether they are specific enough to produce a unique appreciation of the source of a particular work." In this case, the 17 bridge sections and 21 bridge sections listed by the plaintiff in respect of the novel "Plum Blossom Branding" and the script "Plum Blossom Branding" respectively constituted a continuous event with causal connection, so the above bridge sections should be classified as specific 'plots'. Creators cannot prevent others from using specific situations, limited expressions or well-known materials, but they can certainly prevent others from using works based on their original creations".
So, now, do you think Wong Chaky Lun copied the comedians of Kimchi Country?
