People who like “Love Apartment” are pleased to see that the lovers in the play finally become dependents; those who don’t like it will never understand, who is obsessed with paying for “plagiarism”

“Love Apartment” was once the shame of many people’s Chinese-made film and television dramas. After six years, it once again stood on the cusp of public opinion.

After knowing “how to look at those who have a strong sense of superiority after watching British and American dramas, look down on domestic TV dramas,” Gazan replied and wrote:

“If you ask me, why do people who watch dramas such as” Big Bang “and” Two and a Half Men “scorn the people who hold” Love Apartment “very high … then I want to say, eating habits The Chinese who have learned the eight major cuisines, why do n’t you look down upon the dark cuisine in the UK, do n’t you count? ”

On January 12, the fifth season of “Love Apartment” was launched on iQiyi. After the broadcast, topics such as “Zi Qiao Meijia’s Card”, “Hu Yifei Zeng Xiaoxian’s Card”, and “Love Apartment 5” and other topics have appeared on Weibo. Lu Yiqiao’s player, Sun Yizhou, posted a Weibo post about “Love Apartment 5”, with more than 30,000 reposts and comments, and more than 320,000 likes.

Who is paying for “plagiarism”

On August 4, 2012, Lai Bao, a Weibo certified contributor, announced that “Love Apartment 3” plagiarized a large number of paragraphs from his novel “Lai Bao Diary”.

On the afternoon of the same day, the official Weibo letter of the TV series “Love Apartment” publicly apologized, acknowledging that during the creation of the script, “a wide range of elements have been drawn, including a lot of popular online snippets.” The standard compensation is 10,000 yuan.

For this move, the beast Yi Xiaoxing and the well-known screenwriter Ning Caishen both forwarded and affirmed. Ning Caishen commented: “It seems that this is the first time a crew has apologized and compensated for this. The attitude is good, praise one! Respect the network Copyright has taken the first step. “At the same time, Lai Bao also accepted the apology of the program group and said that he would not ask for compensation.

However, from a more macro perspective, the irony of this move seems to be more important than reality.

Although the TV team has offered to compensate the manuscripts for the writers, those original dramas that have been reintroduced have not received any copyright fees, not even their names.

Even though netizens have picked up a lot of similar lines, almost the same character settings and the same story line, to this day, the creators of “Love Apartment” have not acknowledged “plagiarism.”

In 2012, screenwriter Wang Yuan responded to questions from netizens: “It’s better to look down than to take it for granted.” He admits that he “will automatically link the classic passages of various plays in his mind when writing a script”, but considers this to be a “tribute” rather than plagiarism.

Before, Yushier had in-depth exchanges with a number of screenwriters and got feedback that, compared to writing, the screenwriting industry is more like a wage earner.

A screenwriter told Yushier: “In the production of a TV series, the screenwriter’s initiative is very low, the cycle is short, and the company is tight. If you do n’t submit the manuscript, you can only refer to and copy others. ”Some people also said frankly:“ Many screenwriters are just for making money. I can control. “

However, “industry” is not an excuse for “plagiarism”. Plagiarism is a shortcut, stealing the labor results of a forerunner who walks upright from “unsound” to “mature”.

“Script plagiarism” is not common in current film and television dramas, but the underlying problem has not been solved. In the age of adaptation, more plagiarism controversy has occurred in the original web text. For example, “Youth of a Boy”, which was released in November 2019, was once caught in a “plagiarism” storm.

From television to movies, “plagiarism” is being discussed in every area, but there are always people willing to pay for “plagiarism.” This may be the last time that the “Love Apartment” series faced “plagiarism”, but not the last time for domestic film and television works.
