Chapter 130 Reality Is Often More Exciting than Movies

After leaving the theater, the two sisters discussed the plot of "Falling Leaves Return to Roots".

"What do you think of this movie?"

Zeng Li wanted her boyfriend to participate, after all, he is a professional film critic, although sometimes he would turn off the movie while talking on the sofa.

"The best road movie in China." Yang Lingyue said.

"Such a high rating?" Zeng Yu was surprised.

"There are not many road movies in China." Zeng Li gave her sister some popular science.

"Kekexili is also very good. The British have a high rating for this movie." Zeng Yu said.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Lingyue and Zeng Li looked at each other and curled their lips in disdain at the same time, which was quite tacit.

So Zeng Li gave her sister some popular science.

Since last year, it has been accused of plagiarism and has been brought to court. There are as many as 20 places where the plot and shots are the same as Liu Bo's documentary "I and the Tibetan Antelope-The Glacier Flows Here". You must know that it is the same, not similar.

There are too many plots, ideas, creativity, scenes, on-site atmosphere, visual background, lens composition and other aspects that are too similar to "I and the Tibetan Antelope", and even some dialogues are exactly the same as the dialogues in the documentary.

Just like in a song, the melody of the song is the same as another song in 20 places, and some lyrics are the same, so what is this?

But guess what?

A simple plagiarism case that everyone knows clearly cannot be judged in the Chinese court.

Because this film was invested by Columbia, and Lu Chuan's father is Lu Tianming.

So the mainstream media did not report it, isn't this a very normal thing?

So it was delayed until 2008, until someone instructed not to destroy the international image of outstanding domestic literary and artistic workers, because Lu Chuan was rated as one of the top ten young directors in the world by the American magazine "Variety", well, unofficially, the reason was that "Looking for the Gun" and "Kekexili" were too excellent.

So Liu Bo withdrew the lawsuit, yes, withdrew the lawsuit, and there was a result without any result.

The reason why Lu Chuan is listed as a villain in all Chinese entertainment novels is that the only two films with high evaluations in his directing career are "Looking for the Gun" and "Kekexili".

There is no need to say much about "Looking for the Gun". As long as you are not blind, everyone knows who made it.

Is it funny?

Is it ridiculous?

Reality is often more exciting than movies.

You can no longer find the documentary "I and the Tibetan Antelope-The Glacier Flows Here" on major platforms.

This is the so-called: if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem. As long as the original version is eliminated, the pirated version will become the genuine version.

"Shameless." Zeng Yu gave a comment.

"Hey, your senior." Zeng Li winked at her boyfriend.

"Uh, you won this round today."

Yang Lingyue shook his head helplessly. Zhang Yang was an undergraduate student of the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 1987, and Lu Chuan was a graduate student of the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy in 1995.

As they talked, the three of them came to a local restaurant. Zeng's mother didn't want to come out after calling, and she didn't want to have dinner.

"Someone just said that "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" is adapted from a true story. Is there really such a thing as carrying a corpse back to the hometown?" Zeng Yu asked.

"Yes, I asked Zhang Yang about this.

The prototype of the character played by Uncle Benshan in real life is called Li Shao, and his friend is called Zuo Jiabing. Zuo Jiabing has high blood pressure, fainted when drinking, and died on the spot of cerebral hemorrhage.

That night, Li Shao and several workers dressed up Zuo Jiabing and planned to get on the train from Yangcheng Railway Station. They were stopped by security guards and could not get on the train. So they planned to take a car the next day, but they were discovered by patrolling police when they were packing the corpse the next day. So they notified the family and cremated it on the spot."

Yang Lingyue explained.

"It's so associative. One beginning can extend so many stories." Zeng Yu smiled.

"He and I went to Hainan to run a marathon and met a 70-year-old man, which also extended a story." Zeng Li said proudly.

Yang Lingyue coughed awkwardly a few times, and had to tell the story under Zeng Yu's curious questioning.

"Shoot it, shoot it quickly. Take my sister with you." Zeng Yu said cheerfully.

"Originally there was a very suitable role, a daughter, but they changed it to a son, so there is no role." Zeng Li started to be sarcastic when she mentioned this.

"Aren't you afraid that others will say you are unfilial and mean?" Yang Lingyue asked with a smile.

"It's a realistic theme, you just need to make the character more full, haven't you written your investigation report?

Everyone has their own difficulties. How much pressure does the director of the nursing home have to take care of so many elderly people?

Shortly after the reform and opening up, relevant talents were scarce, and relevant departments did not supervise effectively, so things had to be done one by one.

In that era, having only one child meant that there was a problem with fertility, so if you had a daughter at the age of 40, wouldn't she be spoiled?

In order to take care of her parents and make more money, the daughter didn't get married for a long time. Isn't this very reasonable?"

Zeng Li started to talk while counting on her fingers.

Don't say it, it's reasonable, and it seems that the story will be more exciting?

There is no real villain. Everyone is making the most favorable choice for themselves. On the surface, it is an inspirational film about an old horse waiting for his turn, but in the end, isn’t it about the helplessness of life?

This theme is directly sublimated, okay? Isn’t it much more awesome than the original film?

“Bah”

Yang Lingyue held Zeng Li’s face and took a sip.

“Ah…” Zeng Yu retreated in fear.

In public, with her sister sitting next to her, Zeng Li's face turned red visibly, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you doing~"

Yang Lingyue's evaluation of himself is correct and his talent is average, so he is very good at absorbing other people's opinions.

And anyone who is unwilling to see the strengths of others can always see at a glance where others are not as good as themselves.

For example: some people who leave negative reviews for no reason.

"I'll change the script when I get back. You play the daughter, and the screenwriter will give you a name." Yang Lingyue said excitedly.

"Is your boyfriend so out-of-touch and isolated?" Zeng Yu asked, nudging her sister with her elbow.

"What do you know? This is creation." Zeng Li didn't even look at her sister, she just stared at her boyfriend.

When your boyfriend is full of thoughts and inspiration, he is like a child, so cute.

"Lingyue, let's try it out. After all, this is your first feature film. I will witness it with you from the source of the story. I know its importance in your mind. Don't be impulsive." Zeng Li held her boyfriend's hand. Hand whispered.

"Well, I'll think about it over the next few days and see how to inlay it." Yang Lingyue was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile.

Zeng Yu looked at the two people's affectionate expressions and wanted to leave this place. She also missed her husband.
