Endless!

Yes, it is "Changjin Lake" that is currently being screened.

It’s funny.

A director named Hao Ping posted an article on the Internet claiming that the title of "Changjin Lake" infringed on the legal trademark of others.

This is not the most absurd thing.

Director Hao Ping also said that if a lawsuit is filed, "Changjin Lake" will be taken off the shelves.

A similar thing happened in "Wolf Warrior 2", but that was before the movie was released.

Producer and starring Wu Jing was asked to pay 10 million in compensation, but the film was not postponed and broke the domestic box office record after its successful release.

The "Changjin Lake" project was approved in 2019 and will be completed in May 2021.

This war movie has been highly anticipated by the industry for a long time. Are you sure the trademark was not registered maliciously to gain popularity?

What’s interesting is that Hao Ping also posted the work registration certificate and claimed that there was copyright infringement.

However, all he registered was the outline of the story.

A synopsis adapted from real history, saying that others plagiarized it from him, will all those filming the Battle of Changjin Lake need his permission in the future?

This kind of popularity has become a curse that is difficult to avoid for domestic hit movies.

Time moves forward.

"Hello Li Huanying", the 5 billion blockbuster hit during the Spring Festival, was said by a screenwriter to have plagiarized his own work.

The 2019 Spring Festival champion "The Wandering Earth" was also said to be a plagiarism of the Japanese movie "Godzilla".

All summer hits from 2017 to 2019 have been accused of plagiarism.

Because the plot of "I'm Not a Medicine God" is similar to the theme of the American movie "Dallas Buyers Club", it was said to be a copycat.

But in fact the stories of the two movies are very different.

Moreover, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is adapted from real events, and with the permission of the parties involved, plagiarism is indeed a crime.

There is no problem with the content of the movie, but it was still found to be plagiarized in the promotional poster.

After a number of promotional posters that grossed over 100 million in box office were accused of being similar to Japanese comics, the film's official social platform responded positively and apologized.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" achieved a box office of over 2.5 billion in 2018, ranking fourth in the annual box office.

The first-instance verdict was that plagiarism was not established, but the prosecution was still dissatisfied and wanted to appeal.

In fact, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is a remake of a movie, and the copyright has been purchased long ago.

This screenwriter said that the plot of a remake of a movie is similar to his own, so the original movie must also be similar. Does that mean that he plagiarized first?

In the end, the second instance upheld the original verdict.

Moreover, the judgment time was just before the start of the National Day schedule. Unexpectedly, less than a week later, it was the turn of "Changjin Lake" to be criticized.

"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" was accused of plagiarism by the "Five Dimensional Memory" stage play, and this matter also made a big fuss.

The prosecution is hyping up the case on social media, taking advantage of the popularity of "Nezha" to attract a lot of attention.

This is indeed not the case. Many people do not know that there is such an "intangible cultural heritage creative show".

However, this kind of hype only resulted in infamy.

The results of the first instance were announced in May this year.

No surprises.

Plagiarism is not established.

This kind of porcelain behavior is becoming more and more rampant. The reason is simply that the price paid may be far greater than the gain.

As long as you pay a lawyer's fee, even if you lose the lawsuit, you can still get greater benefits than the same amount of publicity fees, as long as the prosecutor is thick-skinned enough.

If the film producers continue to tolerate this kind of behavior, maybe this ridiculous "curse" will continue.

Sometimes it is better to take countermeasures and not let the clowns get too presumptuous.
