<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" >, Red and Black of Love Apartment</h1>
After "Love Apartment" became popular, Lou Yixiao said in the face of plagiarism questions:
"I think it's just like when we grew up in school, if you want to learn something well, you have to learn to imitate first, I think everyone will feel that there are some opinions, whether you think the love apartment is a cottage or there is an element of plagiarism, do you like the love apartment, does it bring you laughter, if there is, then the others are floating clouds." 」
Lou Yixiao's view is still deeply supported by fans of love apartments, and the opposite is the condemnation of netizens for a large number of excerpts of American dramas.
Every viewer should have mixed feelings about the love apartment, plagiarism is not worth encouraging, but there is only one decade of youth, and the emotions and feelings brought by the love apartment are vividly remembered.
The story starts with the screenwriter Wang Yuan, he is a third generation of filmmakers, his grandfather is the first director of Shanghai Film Studio, and his father is the vice president of Shanghai Film Group.
Wang Yuan has been exposed to a large number of excellent Chinese and foreign film and television works since he was a child, including the friends who have a profound influence on him.
In 1999, Wei Zheng, the director of love apartment, entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a special student in drama art, and in 2002, the two became friends in a cooperation.
After graduation, Wang Yuan set up a Gaoge Cultural Communication Company and invited Wei Zheng to join, they mainly shoot advertising films, hundreds of yuan and millions of orders can receive more than 30 a year.
In 2007, they used a large number of bridge sections of the American drama "Groundhog Day" to make a "Reverse Meteor".
The film was released at Jiaotong University and received a lot of praise, and they proudly told Wen Wei Po reporters: "Although it was the time when the 16th level Weipa transited through Shanghai, the occupancy rate still reached 90%. ”
This may not be the first time they have tasted the sweetness of plagiarism, but it is already out of control.
In 2008, a dating website of a love apartment in Taiwan asked them to do a promotional video, and the other party planned to shoot an advertisement of 1 million yuan and spend another 10 million yuan for publicity.
Wei Wang and the two felt that this was too wasteful, and offered to let them take the money and make a TV series to promote it.
So the other party gave 600,000, let them shoot two episodes first to test the water, due to the shortage of funds, the actors they can find are all college students, the youngest Lou Yixiao is still in the sophomore year, the oldest Sun Yizhou, also just graduated a few years ago.
Due to the shortage of funds, the costumes of the main actors were all solved by themselves, and due to the shortage of funds and the rush to catch up, the director often lost his temper on the set.
Although the filming is comedy, but the atmosphere of the scene is not comedy, after the two episodes were filmed, they put it to a hundred college students and white-collar workers to watch, in 90 minutes, everyone laughed more than 200 times, Wei Zheng had a little bottom in his heart.
Later, "Love Apartment" premiered on Jiangxi Satellite TV, and at first no one was optimistic about it, and Wei Zheng even cut the Shanghainese version and completely treated it as a local drama.
As a result, after a season was broadcast, the ratings of "Love Apartment" rushed into the top five in the country, and the fire was a mess.
At that time, not many people had seen American dramas, and the plagiarized debut of "Love Apartment" stood on the shoulders of giants, hearing a huge amount of praise and few accusations.
But justice may be late, never absent.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > second, the pain of plagiarism</h1>
Around 18 years ago, the Global Network commented that no drama in the history of Chinese TV dramas has received as widespread attention as the Love Apartment.
In addition to the domestic media, the American "Time Magazine", "Wall Street Journal", Fox website, and the British "Times" have all reported on it at length.
Unfortunately, the reason why "Love Apartment" has been concerned is that it has nakedly copied American dramas such as "Friends", "Father and Mother Romance", and "The Big Bang Theory".
In the face of overwhelming accusations, Wang Yuan avoided the heavy and lightly responded: "Comedy, happy is good, don't have to pay too much attention to certain points, everyone pay attention to things, don't make these happy things very serious." ”
In stark contrast, Friends director KoRoger said in a lecture at a Chinese university:
"Many people ask me my views on the love apartment plagiarism of Friends, and even at a meeting I also met the screenwriter Wang Yuan, we also took a group photo, I think China's cultural heritage is very long, this point even includes the United States, including other countries, can not be compared, Friends is based on the American cultural background of the sitcom, if China can give full play to cultural advantages, then the film and television industry must have a lot of room for development, when the time comes, I am willing to compete with Chinese practitioners on the same stage." 」
This meaningful remark, Wang Wei must have turned a deaf ear, in addition to copying the plot, the surrounding Lego model of the love apartment must also be copied. On the road of Hanhua, they run extra diligently.
Now to answer the audience's emotional questions about the love apartment, I think that the feelings of the truly vital work are two-way, it is not only the audience's favorite, but also the efforts poured into it by the main creative team, and the first four seasons of "Love Apartment" are obviously only one-way.
In 18 years, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the love apartment, fans waited hard for a big movie that hung a sheep's head and sold dog meat.
In order to make full use of the fans' feelings, the organizers changed "New Dimensional Adventurer" to "Love Apartment Movie", and then concealed the name of the real lead actor, deceived the fans with one or two ambiguous films, and finally gave up zero and morning shows in order to fully control public opinion and momentum, and did not release until two o'clock in the afternoon.
All kinds of behaviors almost cut leeks three words, written on the movie poster.
Ten years is youth for the audience, and for the main creative team, it is just interest.
As a post-90s generation who grew up watching the love apartment, I understand everyone's emotions very well.
Let's say you fell in love with someone when you were young, you fell in love with each other for ten years, and then you found out he was a scumbag who was extremely hypocritical, a complete liar.
Some people choose to expose its true face on the Internet, some people choose to draw a clear line and do not interact with each other, and some people can't put it down, thinking about that decade of youth.
If the handling of this relationship is personal freedom, others have no right to interfere, but everyone is a victim, there is no reason to support the scumbag in turn, right?
Love apartment and youth can be separated, there is no need to expand a plagiarized work into youth, it is a little cruel to persuade people to let go, but not to let go will only continue to torture themselves.
After the fermentation of the plagiarism incident of the Love 5 drawings, the public account of Sanlian Weekly published an article titled "Love Apartment, a Plagiarized Masterpiece", listing several plagiarism facts of the Love Apartment.
But the first three high-profile comments in the article are still "as long as it looks good enough, it's enough."
But does the high score copied make sense, and if the market is full of plagiarized works, can the original author still write it?
If the original person stops writing, then what do you see, ironically, Wang Yuan teacher is very aware of the seriousness of piracy: "Piracy seems to be a small thing, but it is pouring out my friend's lifelong dream, so that children from a young age to develop the habit of watching pirates, this behavior, in the children's young minds slowly grow, become a habit, what will happen, no one painted the sky blue, no one outlined wings for birds, no one let the sun peek out of the clouds, no one looked at the genuine version, you guys are good, thank you. ”
By the way, this part is also copied.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" > three, goodbye, love apartment</h1>
After the launch of Love 5, director Wei Zheng finally faced up to the plagiarism problem: "For me, I went through several stages, like the audience, the first stage was shock, then anger, and one of the things you were very aggrieved about was that you found that you had no way to explain clearly to the audience that this matter had nothing to do with you, and it was done by the person closest to you. ”
In another live broadcast, he said: "The screenwriter wrote this, what can I do." “
According to him, it is possible to explain the similarity between the plot and the lines, but it cannot be explained, why are even the sub-shots and scene layouts exactly the same?
Even if he dumps all the faults on the screenwriter, he can't pick it clean.
The final season began broadcasting in a scolding, and on the first day, it was angrily brushed by countless netizens who did not even watch it.
In fact, in terms of personal perception, this is a high-quality TV series, I can feel the sincerity of the director's sincere remorse, but not every apology deserves to be forgiven?
The bitter fruit planted in the first four seasons must be swallowed after all, and the laughter points in the fifth season are not as dense as those of the previous works of the set, but they are more in line with the current social culture and life, and there are many creative and amazing settings.
Bullet screen space educates people not to live in the evaluation of others, simulated families discuss the influence of parents on children, AI dating explores the possibility of AI replacing the human brain, and pig apartment satirizes parents who are overly sensitive to restrict the growth of culture.
In order to fulfill the wishes of fans, the director made up for the happy ending for the characters in the absence of Wang Chuanjun and Jin Shijia, and Sekiya magically married Tang Youyou as he wished, the girl who made him fall in love at first sight in the bar, and came to Japan to marry him without hesitation.
Lu Zhanbo and Lin Wanyu met in Milan to regain their old love, it may be that Lu Zhanbo has matured through social experience, or it may be that Lin Wanyu has gone around all these years, only to find that it is still the little boy who sent her Transformers the most precious.
Zhang Wei is becoming more and more like a barrister, lonely gradually withdraws from his life stage, friends love and career, he has it.
Chen Meijia and Lu Ziqiao, Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei, both married, although the wedding was very happy, but still came to the end of "knowing that the friendship was half scattered".
The love apartment has been demolished, and there will be no new residents to continue to write these youth stories.
From 08 to 20 years, 12 years that cannot be copied, maybe everyone has a love apartment in their hearts, and here lives the people you love.
He can grab the Christmas tree in the bar for you, she can make an egg fried rice late at night for you to come home,
He can fight for you and the ex who hurt you, she can control the chopper for you, and learn to be a virtuous wife and mother.
He can ask for people one by one in order to make you play one more scene, and she can give up her dreams in order to be with you, and go to a foreign country to give up the rest of her life to you.
There are also your friends here, who look out of tune, but they hold three charity parties in a row to comfort you who have lost love.
In order to help you carry the black pot, the website of the same name that has been scolded by thousands of people is silent.
In order to protect you from unspoken rules, gambling on career offense to superiors can not be promoted.
Here is also a record of your best time, a time that can be willful and squandered, a time of calling friends to pursue true love, a time wasted for dreams, a time that cannot be repeated.
The end of youth is life, there is no feast under the world, goodbye, love apartment.
