The world always pays attention to cause and effect, not without reporting, and the time has not yet come.
At the beginning of 2021, there was a "disappearance" in the film and television industry:
Directed by Guo Jingming, "Qingya Collection", more than ten days after its release, major universities have not been able to see its scheduling information, and even the box office data released online has been erased.
And when everyone wondered whether "Qingya Collection" was taken offline, its official blog posted a euphemistic poster picture, "This is proud, this life has no regrets, gratitude to keep, Qingya's covenant", in order to gently respond to the fact that it has been taken offline.
To say that Guo Jingming is also a famous director, with distinct personal characteristics, before, the work was still popular with people, but for this time the "Qingya Collection" offline, it is not a pity, but a clap of cheers.
The most direct and important reason for this scene lies in Guo Jingming's "plagiarism of original sin".
As early as more than ten years ago, Guo Jingming was convicted of plagiarism by the court for plagiarizing Ms. Zhuang Yu's novel, but because of his personal inner thoughts, Guo Jingming did not dare to admit it, but only "respected the law and never apologized" and continued his directing career.
In 2020, Guo Jingming has been on the cusp of public opinion since participating in "Actors Please Take Place", and even met with a joint boycott open letter from 111 screenwriters, directors, writers and producers, demanding that Guo Jingming be expelled from the public media.
Of course, under the pressure of such public opinion, Guo Jingming finally publicly issued an apology at the end of 2020, although the words of apology revealed remorse between the lines, and he also agreed to set up an anti-plagiarism committee with Zhuang Yu, but despite his sincerity, he still failed to get forgiveness, which directly led to the downline of the new drama "Qingya Collection", and he also faced the fate of being "banned".
From Guo Jingming's body, we also learned a truth: the world always pays attention to cause and effect, not without reporting, the time has not yet come.
Of course, in the entertainment industry, there are actually many people who have the same experience as Guo Jingming, such as singer Luo Cong.
Luo Cong released a personal single "Simple Happiness" in 2018, and was included in the first personal album "Little Happiness", the song was also welcomed and loved by the public after it was launched, and successively appeared at the top of the charts of major music platforms, with remarkable results.
With the circulation of the song, this "Simple Happiness" has also been questioned by people for plagiarizing Xu Song's "Why Not", and in 2019, someone privately wrote to Luo Cong, pointing out that he copied it.
But Luo Cong's response to being questioned for plagiarism is very "mystery": I am a contracted artist of the company, I obey the company's arrangement to sing this song, you also know that the songwriter is not me, why do you want to denigrate and attack me five times, I did not do anything wrong, where do I have a weak heart.
Shirking responsibility to the company and warning netizens to spread rumors and slander also made Luo Cong temporarily escape the storm of plagiarism, but in 2021, Luo Cong's plagiarism of Xu Song was once again pulled out.
As the public opinion on the Internet intensified, fans have spoken out to protect Xu Song's rights and interests, Xu Song himself has also made a "known" response, and the official blog released a "Simple Happiness" and "Why Not" score comparison chart, saying that the two songs have been sent for identification, if the plagiarism is confirmed, it will go through legal procedures.
Although the identification results have not yet come out, it is also a very obvious plagiarism behavior, after all, the audience can hear it with their ears, but they want to copy it to a great extent.
Luo Cong has always called himself an "original singer" on the Internet, and this time the "plagiarism storm" was also beaten in the face, although the number of years from plagiarism to "overturning" was not as long as Guo Jingming, but overall, there was a similarity.
However, because he is still in the identification stage, Luo Cong is still highly active in the public eye, not only frequently releasing videos of himself singing "Simple Happiness", but also crying that he has suffered from depression and so on, and various demon-making behaviors are emerging in an endless stream.
Luo Cong's series of behaviors, naturally also attracted countless blacks, below the comment area of his works, it is also a scolding, but what is even more infuriating is that Luo Cong actually responded to netizens, and said "He is good, why is there no fire?" Such a wild statement that boasted that he was better than Xu Songhong really made people feel speechless.
Although Luo Cong's current activity is higher than Xu Song, but on the whole, the total number of fans on the whole network is only more than 10,000, which is really no comparison with Xu Song, although Xu Song is now very Buddhist and does not often appear in front of the public, but he is an idol of a generation, and the song is so high, even if it is not active now, the fans, popularity, and popularity are not inferior to Luo Cong.
Luo Cong, as a plagiarist, actually appeared a little arrogant in the face of the storm, and could not help but think, in this world of network chaos, what is people's attitude towards the protection of intellectual property rights?
From the plagiarism cases such as Guo Jingming and Luo Cong, it also exposes the current plagiarism phenomenon, or hope that the relevant departments can improve the relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible, strictly investigate plagiarism, and truly give the original creator the most comprehensive protection.
What do you think about Luo Cong's suspected plagiarism?
