Actually, after the film was withdrawn in June, it was not announced until three days before its release on October 25. There was no time for large-scale publicity, but it was still sought after by the audience. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, the starring actors Zhou Dongyu and Yi Yanqianxi have attracted much attention, and the temporary withdrawal of the film made this movie more noticeable; on the other hand, the movie focuses on the topic of campus bullying, which is easy to cause. Extensive discussion and resonance are also the main reason why the Internet exploded soon after the movie was released.

​​and director Zeng Guoxiang once again showed off his directorial talents after "July and Ansheng", both in terms of story rhythm, shot scheduling, etc., has a very good performance, and Zhou Dongyu, who has worked with him, broke out in acting skills this time. Qian Xi's performance also surprised the audience, and Douban's 8.4 score is also reasonable.

However, amidst the acclaim, there were also some voices of opposition, the most acute of which was the copying of Keigo Higashino's novel by "You Are". Many netizens pointed out that the movie "You are a young man" is adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel "You are so beautiful as a young man", and Jiu Yuexi is a famous "Queen of the Cross", and in short, he is very good at plagiarizing others. The stems, lines and bridges in the work are then integrated into my own work.

On October 29, the Beijing News also published an article criticizing Jiu Yuexi’s plagiarism through its online platform, which pointed out that many of Jiu Yuexi’s novels have plagiarized and fused behaviors. Among them, "You Are So Beautiful in Youth" is more It copied "White Night Walk", "Suspect X's Devotion" and "Lonicera" by Keigo Higashino.

plagiarism seems to have become a stain on the movie "You are a teenager". But is this pot really going to let the movie back?

Do you need a back pot or an innocent gun?

The plagiarism theory of "You are young" is rampant, and it is impossible for the film creator to pretend not to know. In the interview, director Zeng Guoxiang also responded to plagiarism. Regarding the adaptation of "You Are So Beautiful in Youth", Zeng Guoxiang said that he had only read the novel once and was attracted by the character Xiaobei, so he decided to create this movie , And also said that he had never seen Keigo Higashino's "White Night Walk." Whether the original novel of

​​is really plagiarized is still inconclusive, so I will put it aside for now. Zeng Guoxiang’s response was very interesting. It sounded like a dumping pot, meaning "I really don’t know if the novel is plagiarized. I was wronged."

But if you analyze it carefully, you will find that what Zeng Guoxiang might say is true. First of all, the division of labor between the screenwriter and director of "Youth in Youth" is clear. Zeng Guoxiang admitted that he has read novels and was attracted by the characters. This is very possible. However, there are three screenwriters in the film. The old partner, he had collaborated on "July and Ansheng" before. Zeng Guoxiang read the novel, and then contacted the investor to communicate the copyright, and then gave them the screenwriter. This is a very reasonable process. If you really want to hold on to the main creative, you should Pull out the screenwriter and ask to understand. However, as Zeng Guoxiang said, the movie itself has greatly changed the novel, and it is farther away from the movie of Higashino Keigo. At least the movie and plagiarism are not related.

writes here, you will find that the core of the problem is the original author Jiu Yuexi! Why do netizens hold on to "Young You"? Isn't it that the movie is being released, it is more topical and more likely to attract attention? In this incident, the movie itself was innocent, and netizens pointed the finger in the wrong direction. The producer of

is related to Keigo Higashino. The

movie is an artistic creation, but it is also a game of capital. If you look at the producer behind "You Are Young", you will find that there are six major investors. Among them are the filming culture held by producer Xu Yuezhen and director Zeng Guoxiang, director Chen Kexin’s us production, and colleagues and Jiaying, who has always liked to make artistic films. culture.

However, Shenzhen Zhonghui Film and Television, which ranked third, is behind Hou Xiaoqiang, who was the CEO of Shanda Literature. As early as 2016, his identity became the second largest shareholder and general manager of Zhonghui Film and Television. Since the establishment of the company

, he has started to do what he is good at, hoarding IP and developing film and television, including "Lonely City Closed" and "Devotion of Suspect X" directed by Su Youpeng.

everyone understands hereAt that time, Su Youpeng was able to get this IP and got the approval of Keigo Higashino to adapt his novel. It must be Zhonghui Film and Television and Hou Xiaoqiang's operation behind it. Now this "Young You", Zhonghui Film and Television can participate. It is certainly inseparable from copyright development.

Who would have thought that after buying Keigo Higashino's copyright, he would fall into plagiarism so quickly? However, in the face of capital, interests are the first priority. The final box office of "Young You" is likely to exceed 1.3 billion. The pots and pots earned by several producers are full. Whether it is plagiarism, whether or not to file a lawsuit, put it slowly in the future. talk later!
