As of November 13, "Young You" has been in theaters for 20 days, and the box office has exceeded 1.417 billion. For this youth film with a total investment of no more than 200 million, it is definitely a staged victory. The main actors Yi Yang Qianxi and Zhou Dongyu also received a lot of praise for this movie.
However, the same as the box office continues to rise is the original book's attention to the suspected plagiarism of Higashino Keigo's work. It can be said that it has aroused many public opinions among netizens, and there are many netizens with deep awareness of intellectual property and copyright. In this matter, go all out.
Recently, a certain netizen in the self-organized rights protection activities suddenly shared a good news, saying that after half a month of hard work, they finally received relevant responses from two Japanese publishing houses of Keigo Higashino. In the reply of
, although there were some polite remarks, both publishing houses made it clear that they had an understanding of the plagiarism that is taking place in China, but they still need to discuss how to deal with it later.
is exactly this reply, which made the original work of the film Suspected Rongjie once again attracted attention. Some netizens said that even if they cannot successfully defend their rights, they must at least let Higashino Keigo know that his work has been plagiarized.
Since the opening of "Young You", the fans of Keigo Higashino have been very dissatisfied with the suspected plagiarism of the original book. For this reason, the fans have made a lot of efforts to collect evidence, make color palettes, etc., and look forward to this event. Get more attention. After
, the book fans independently issued a volunteer recruitment order, hoping to convene netizens to formulate an email outline, collect evidence, organize complaints, arrange telephone follow-ups, and so on. It is precisely because of their positive attitude towards this matter that
has attracted the attention of the publisher.
Because of this controversy, when "Young You" was revealed to be released in the UK, it was also ridiculed by overseas netizens, saying that they could not understand the film's approach.
However, Jiu Yuexi, the author of the original novel "You Are So Beautiful" in this movie, does not seem to be nervous.
Now that Japanese publishing houses have begun to respond to plagiarism, I don’t know if they will prosecute in the future, but it seems unlikely that it is not so easy to defend rights across borders.
Speaking of, cultural copyright protectors have always been in a very difficult situation, and it is not easy for original rights defenders. Fortunately, more and more people are now awakening. It is indeed necessary to let everyone pay attention to and pay attention to the phenomenon of fusion in the online writing circle through "Youth in Youth". However, you must speak sensibly. The controversy of the original work should not be left to the actor. In the future, film producers must be cautious when choosing IP, otherwise no matter how good the film is, it will still be difficult to escape the controversy.
