The director of " eliminates three evils every week " is finally going to fight back. Let's review it together.
Since it was released in mainland China on March 1, the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" has exceeded 600 million.
With the popularity of the movie, director Qian Renhao filed a lawsuit against Huang Jingfu for allegedly plagiarizing. What is going on?
On March 18, Qian Renhao published the court’s verdict on the film on social platforms.
The results showed that the court agreed to seize all the box office and assets of the film's production company and director.
You must know that the movie "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" has attracted the attention of the industry and even won 7 awards including the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Director. However, the good times did not last long. Director Qian Renhao accused the film on social media of plagiarizing his script " lawless ".
Subsequently, Huang Jingfu, the director of "The Three Evils", quickly issued a statement denying the incident and said that there were many stories similar to the movie. As early as 2010, his group had the germ of a story, and it took ten years of polishing to complete the outline of the story.
Subsequently, it was confirmed that the film would be released in mainland China in March. Qian Renhao once again accused "Zhou Chu Abolition of Three Evils" and revealed the content of the script of "Lawless".
Qian Renhao told the media that the concept of "Lawless" began as early as 2009. After it was completed, he revealed the content to Huang Jingfu, and the lines of "Zhou Chu Eliminate Three Evils" came from the script he created.
For example, the prototype of the male lead "Chen Guilin" in the movie is "Chen Guangzhou" in "Lawless", and the "massage shop girl" became the "barber shop girl" and so on.
It can be said that the original script is more exciting and more in line with the psychology of the characters. Qian Renhao asked Huang Jingfu to stop promoting the movie immediately.
Unexpectedly, the director of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" said in turn: Thank you for helping to increase the popularity and reputation.
Subsequently, rumors of "Zhou Chu Eliminate Three Evils" spread everywhere. Qian Renhao hoped to get a response from the other party, but Huang Jingfu never spoke out.
As the matter continues to ferment, more and more netizens have begun to pay attention to this plagiarism incident. Many people have left messages online, believing that the film is indeed suspected of plagiarism.
Some people think that this is just a jealousy game.
But regardless of the views of netizens, this controversy has affected the film's reputation and ratings.
Just recently, Huang Jingfu suddenly counterattacked, saying in a statement: The script has nothing to do with Qian Renhao, and there is no evidence to prove plagiarism so far.
"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" called on the other party to stop spreading rumors, otherwise they will be held accountable according to law.
Netizens said after reading this: Qian Renhao has been defending his rights on Weibo and has not gone to court at all? This is using the mainland audience as a weapon and ultimately extorting money from the producer.
Some people are still wondering: Qian Renhao did not file a lawsuit, but just composed words and sentences on Weibo. Does he think mainland netizens are being deceived?
This is a game of literary copyright, related to the dignity of the creator and the dignity of the work. Now we don’t know what is right and wrong, but it can be seen from the comments that the public is more inclined to Huang Jingfu.
Looking back on this incident, it triggered the public's thinking on justice and rights, and the protection and maintenance of intellectual property rights. It also allows everyone to see the unknown side of the entertainment industry.
Next, we are waiting for director Qian Renhao’s statement. If the facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient, I believe all netizens will support the original party and the genuine version.
Finally, we look forward to the fairest judgement, and we also hope that the law will create a good environment for literary scholars and protect their works from being exploited by others.
Every effort should be rewarded, and every literary work deserves to be respected. We will continue to pay attention to the follow-up reports on "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
