It is comparable to the piracy production of spy war drama and the special piracy feeling of Chinese movie fans!

The resources of the Complete Collection of Qing Yu Nian have been leaked!
About 11 pm on December 19, 2019, the news of the leaked resources of “The Complete Year of Qing” was exploded on the Internet. Soon, Weibo, Douban, Tieba, etc. all presented a strange “carnival” scene competing for time and resources.
In a group of Douban, a post that published the complete works of “Qing Yu Nian” covered an area of 2,000 floors in one hour, a link was harmonized, and the next link could immediately follow.
Refer to the previous 5.2 million on-demand purchases of “Chen Qingling” before, and 156 million additional income generated by the six episodes. If there are more than twenty episodes of “Qing Yu Nian” leaked, the platform can be packaged and sold at 50 yuan on-demand, and the revenue will definitely exceed this number, so for the platform, this is a resource leakage event that can be called a billion-dollar loss. .
In the morning of December 21st, the topic # 庆余 年 盗 播 链 近 4 万 # went on hot search. The first one on the top was an interview with the China Copyright Inspection Center. The main content is: there are so many piracy, and the platform charges There is no necessary connection.
No problem from experts, but the audience also left their own voices below. As of the morning of December 22, the first 6 points of likes are:
1. I opened a membership because I support the genuine version, and your second charge is to force us to watch the network disk. (163,000 likes)
2. They are all resisting piracy and respecting the genuine. Can anyone respect our audience? ? (126,000 likes)
3. The second charge is fueling the situation. Do n’t open your eyes and talk nonsense (111,000 likes)
4. Deserve it, forcing people to watch piracy (77,000 likes)
5. Is it necessary that the masses have the final say, the majority of Tencent iQiyi VIP paid users have the final say! Only allow the platform to arbitrarily charge for the platform, do not allow me and other small citizens to choose freely? (61,000 likes)
6. I have a Tencent member, but I look at piracy, because I wo n’t let him earn those tens of dollars more. Why do I have to become a VIP? 51,000 likes)
Sina News initiated a poll on “Will you watch piracy?” As of December 22nd, 572,000 people participated in the voting, and 418,000 people chose “irrational selection of platform piracy”.
It is not difficult to feel that the contradiction between the domestic content payment model and member users is the main cause of this turmoil, and finally the content itself was caught in the anger of the audience.
However, we all know that content platforms are eager to dig dividends in the user market. It is also a reality that the correct path has not been found, but the development of the pirated industry chain behind the country is also the biggest driver of this audience ’s outrageous dissemination.
The drama “Dear, Loving”, which was broadcasted this summer, leaked the full episode just after half of it was broadcast. The earlier “Kite”, “Yanxi Raiders”, “the name of the people”, “Three lives, three miles and ten miles of peach blossom” Other major dramas have also encountered piracy.
In the eighth season of the pirated hard-hit area “Game of Thrones”, according to data from online piracy monitoring companies, the number of online piracy has reached nearly 55 million within 24 hours after the first episode of the eighth season of “Quanyou” was broadcast.
On July 13, 2017, the domestic blockbuster “Gokun Biography” will be released in theaters across the country, but what the film producers and distributors never expected was that the film was leaked on July 8. And spread wildly on major platforms.
In the National Day of 18, director Jia Zhangke was so anxious that he was going to be fine-grained, because his movie “Children of the Rivers and Lakes” was released less than a month ago, and online resources had flowed out.
The Spring Festival file in 2019, the rampant piracy incident has happened again. All the Spring Festival movies such as “Wandering Earth”, “Crazy Aliens” and “Flying Life” can be downloaded online.
Some people even tweeted: “On the third day of the new year, I have already made all the New Year’s cards.”
Because of this piracy, Cat’s Eye Professional Edition directly reduced the box office forecast of “Wandering Earth” from 5.33 billion to 5.257 billion. The Chinese film industry has also ushered in the biggest piracy storm in several years-the “2 · 15” project.
…
Piracy, why do you see piracy everywhere, and how do these pirated resources come from?
Those popular movie and TV dramas that have set off a wave of people ’s pursuit of dramas have been online for less than 24 hours, and downloadable resources have been available on the Internet. How did this happen?
piracyFrom 2011 to 2011, BTChina and VeryCD, once large-scale resource download sites, were successively blocked.
In 2014, during the national piracy rectification, everyone’s film and television were also inevitable. On November 22 of the same year, the old subtitle group website, Shooter.com, announced the closure of the station; one month later, Renren Movie and TV also announced that it would permanently close the website.
…
2019 may be a terrible year for movie fans, because you will find that the resource site where we downloaded movies in the past has slowly disappeared from the Internet.
In fact, I’m not surprised about this. After all, all resource websites can’t escape the fate of closure from the day of birth. This is a legal result. With the improvement of intellectual property rights and the development of Internet video sites, this trend will accelerate.
In good conscience, no one who loves movies takes pride in watching piracy. The regret in the hearts of movie fans only comes from their complex feelings about piracy.
Understanding the issue of “piracy”, netizens have always maintained a zero-tolerance attitude towards “piracy games” and “piracy music”, etc., and often can agree on anti-piracy and support genuine editions;
But when it comes to “piracy film and television resources”, public opinion is reversing, and many people who don’t like piracy have to admit: “Some movies can’t be seen unless they choose to pirate.”
They must be subtle about this kind of resource station, knowing that it is piracy, but they consciously maintain its existence carefully.
Someone likened the resource station to a fire robber, throwing up a question that we all scream inward: Is the fire robbers still alive because of the lack of light?
Yes, it is difficult to deny that piracy infringes any intellectual property rights, and intellectual property rights are the lifeblood of many cultural institutions.
But in a situation where there is no way to find, the resource station has more or less filled the desire of the contemporary youth’s spiritual world, and reserved a narrow way of life for the pluralism of artistic aesthetics.
“Should we crack down on pirated movie resources?” It should have been a question that seemed unnecessary to discuss, but in the context of Chinese film culture, it has gradually evolved into a “dilemma” that seems unsolvable.
In the 1980s, as an important form for many Chinese audiences to access overseas (including Hong Kong) films, the video hall began to rise.
Although the remaining text and video recordsIn the recording, “Video Hall” is often associated with “dirty” and “chaos”, but for this generation of Chinese audiences, this is a rare “spiritual soil”, and it is also the first generation of Chinese audiences to look at the world’s first kaleidoscope.
The commentator Han Haoyue once wrote in “My Video Hall Past”: “This place can be a sky that a child can see when he looks up.” At that time, ordinary people don’t say that there are no genuine and pirated copies at all. In some small places, there is not even the concept of a cinema.
After that, over ten years later, the video hall was weakened, VCD and DVD were successively introduced to China, and TV channels are no longer the only home video. Chinese viewers can get more choices through the disc market.
In general, the regulatory status of genuine video is relatively looser than that of theater screenings, but many films still have difficulty meeting Chinese audiences on official distribution channels.
At that time, the post-80s generation was adolescents with a thriving mindset. In the face of dull cinema films and limited choice of regular release DVDs, they preferred a more “underground” way of watching movies.
Shops, large and small, are filled with cover cards of pirated discs. When you read them one by one, you tell the boss that the boss will go to a nearby warehouse to pick up the goods or ask other video stores for a low price.
It was from then on that Chinese fans really learned that there are so many famous directors in the world, such as Kurosawa, Coppola, Jean Luc Godard, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, all Chinese movie fans can’t imagine before owning DVD.
At that time, the great rivers of the motherland were all pirated CDs. These pirated CDs could be said to have “fed” countless literary youth and movie lovers throughout the Chinese world.
Even today’s many fifth and sixth generation directors, I dare say that if they did not have these pirated resources, they would not have been able to see so many international-level and amazing artists’ works when they were young.
Jia Zhangke once said, “I bought two VCDs at the same time in a shop near the contemporary mall. One is Eisenstein’s” Battleship Gold “and one is Orwells. “Citizen Kane” …
When I drove across the field in the group of buildings near the Great Bell Temple, I suddenly realized that I used tens of dollars to put the two masterpieces of the two masters in my pockets. Warm …
I have a more forgiving view on piracy, because I knowIn addition to the so-called professionals, those film resources are blocked … I think the opening of film resources has changed the Chinese greatly. “
In the words of film scholar Dai Jinhua, “piracy resources feed the cultural tastes of the Chinese generation after generation”; and Yang Shizheng said: “The history of Chinese moviegoers watching movies is a history of piracy development. We have to Acknowledge that the cultural tastes and knowledge reserves of all senior movie fans in China are achieved through piracy. “
In a survey of “Why Chinese fans insist on downloading pirated movie resources”, more than 56% of fans chose not to “see the genuine and go to the cinema is too expensive”, but “the movie you want to watch is not available in China. See in theater. ”
As people ’s living standards are getting higher and higher, socio-cultural demands are becoming more and more diverse, especially young people ’s vision of vision and cultural demands. In the new era, they are becoming more individualized and autonomous. 化 traits.
In 2018, the total box office of national movies has reached 60.976 billion yuan, but we have to admit that there is still a large gap in expectations between the movie products we can see and our needs.
For many movie fans, there is no dispute about spending money on movies, but the premise is that you have to show me? The simplest example-“The First Drop of Blood 5” has been released abroad, and “The First Drop of Blood 4” (released in 2008) cannot be seen in domestic normal channels.
Most art films are also difficult to introduce to the mainland. Even the Oscar-winning films “Green Book” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” this year have been introduced in China more than half a year after the world premiere.
And many of the Oscar-winning movies introduced in the past two years have been cut due to well-known reasons. “The Story of Water Shape” puts a little black dress on the heroine.
“Game of Thrones” has a legitimate Chinese subtitled version in China, but this version also substantially cuts off adult, pornographic, excessively violent content plots that we think are not suitable for domestic audiences, including those The language is inappropriate and not “positive”.
But the problem is that when you lose this part of the content, you will feel as if you have been washed with disinfection water. It is no longer what it was. In the face of this situation, in the end, you have to rely on these resources. .
ZengjiWhen did we lament the opening of the country’s doors and the exchange of cultures, the aesthetic taste of Chinese movie fans has also been increasingly enhanced. Now, Chinese movie fans have grown. They don’t want to watch domestic bad movies, they don’t want to see castrated domestic good movies, they want to see good movies that only they can’t see in other parts of the world.
Are all these loves of movies wrong? It can only be said that the Chinese movie industry’s projection system and Chinese movie fans raised by pirated movies do not match the two progress bars.
People in the industry even bluntly say: Nowadays, fans don’t really have to look at piracy, but instinctively distrust the existing genuine. Especially in the introduction of foreign movies, whether it is a theater or a video website, the first reaction of many people is ‘will see the harmonious version’. So in terms of cultural dissemination, pirated “quality and quantity” is more accepted by fans.
Honestly, who doesn’t want to be a big fan of fairness? They never mind paying. The problem is that sometimes they can’t find the so-called formal channel to watch movies.
It can be expected that as long as the demand still exists, the piracy industry will continue to “relapse” and even have more forms of communication; but at the same time, the state will crack down on piracy and regulate it. It will become more and more strict, and the game between the two sides will continue.
Before we can find the right balance between demand and supply, we still have a long way to go for the entire copyright market.
I forgot where I saw a paragraph, saying: The real and effective way to protect copyright is to open the right channel of genuine channels, and the misguided piracy is easy to manage and slowly die out, otherwise the copyright protection will become a sounding Excuses for obstructing rights.
The U.S. Copyright Act 1909 also states that copyright is not primarily for the benefit of the author, but for the benefit of the general public.
Fortunately, in the past two years, relevant domestic film associations and institutions have also created opportunities for Chinese people to see good movies on the big screen.
I believe that one day, we will no longer wait for resources, find resources, or resources. I believe that one day, we Chinese movie fans will be able to realize the freedom of watching movies.
