Chapter 106 Sledgehammer Plagiarism? (Second update)
"Plagiarism!"

"That guy named Sledgehammer, his script was plagiarized!"

"I may be exaggerating when I say this, and it is true that plagiarism has not been confirmed. However, this "Blind Kill" is very similar to the work of Japanese mystery master Keigo Higashino, which is "The Devotion of Suspect X"!"

"I don't know if you've seen it, but it's really very similar. It's the kind that, oh, I can't even describe it well. It's the kind that if you think about it for a moment, you'll feel very similar. Well, that's probably it. "

In a bistro in Cannes, Xiang Yang and Xiaoye were sitting opposite the screenwriter Teacher Acheng, listening to Teacher Acheng's story.

Why did he want to throw himself into the sea?

It’s clear, it’s really clear.

That's probably the whole story.

As a well-known writer and screenwriter, Mr. Ah Cheng has been busy working on a movie.

"Wu Qingyuan".

This movie is taken very seriously by investors because the character Wu Qingyuan is a very, very famous Go master.

However, this person is definitely very, very problematic in terms of loyalty to his motherland.

Even Chang Kaishen couldn't stand it back then.

But now, some people feel that this movie may be beneficial to Sino-Japanese relations.

So we filmed it. Of course, the investors for this film were mainly from Japan, and we also had some domestic investment, so it was considered a co-production.

This is the premise of "Wu Qingyuan".

Since I have such a background, I naturally found Teacher Acheng, because he wrote "The King of Chess".

It can be said that this movie is still very serious at least in terms of production.

Moreover, not only did he find Ah Cheng.

We have famous domestic directors Tian Zhuangzhuang and actors like Zhang Zhen, and Japan has also produced quite capable actors and beautiful actresses, such as Ayumi Ito and so on.

Overall, the purpose of this movie is very clear, and the overall standards are also very high.

Teacher Ah Cheng himself was also full of confidence, but he never expected it.

The filming process of this movie was very slow. Of course, Mr. Tian arranged the filming and Ah Cheng had no control over it.

From preparation to shooting, it took about two years.

It was finally filmed last year and passed the review very smoothly.

After getting the dragon label, it was ready to be released.

Most of these feature films have a formula to follow before they are released.

Feature films by well-known directors, I like to participate in well-known film festivals.

Whether it's Tianzhuangzhuang, Quentin, Director Chen, Zhang Yimou, or even Li Yang, they all do this.

Ever since, "Wu Qingyuan" came to the Cannes Film Festival.

It is no problem to participate in the exhibition. With Tian Zhuangzhuang's reputation, no one will reject his film.

Although, so far, he has never made a profitable movie.

Grange's nickname is the 'Capital Terminator'. Other great directors have made several movies, at least one or two of which can make money.

Teacher Tian has been filming for so many years, but has never brought any returns to the management, and has even lost many big bosses.

It doesn't matter, Teacher Tian is well-known and he has won awards a long time ago.

From this point of view, it is absolutely logical and certain that "Wu Qingyuan" will enter the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival.

but. . .

It just didn’t work!
Now that the results are out, we have to find the reason, right?

What reason did Teacher Ah Cheng find?

He went to see "Blind Kill", which was shortlisted for the main competition.

After all, it was a film festival, so it was easy.

But when he finished reading, he. . .

"I admit it! This movie was indeed very interesting to shoot! It's even quite good, and the performance of the two of you is also great. But! This movie, the screenwriter named Sledgehammer, he dares to say that he did not plagiarize Higashino Keigo's "The Devotion of Suspect X"?"

That's right, this is the state.

Teacher Ah Cheng determined that the film was plagiarized.

At least that's the case for him personally.

And after identifying it, he will. . .

Most of us Chinese literati, or in other words, literati all over the world, have a tendency to be melancholy.

Literary people commit suicide more often.

Let’s just say Japan.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Osamu Dazai, Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata...

All the literary giants in Yishui committed suicide.

There is even a saying in Japan that a novelist who does not commit suicide cannot be called a literary giant in the true sense.

Teacher Ah Cheng really had this tendency at that time, and he thought about it.

I wrote my work well and was a screenwriter seriously, but in the end I was outcompeted by a plagiarist.

I feel really sad.

Of course, he himself said whether it was plagiarized or not, it was just his own opinion.

But isn’t that what literati are like?

When that kind of energy comes up, there is something in my heart that I can't understand, and I want to jump into the sea.

Ever since, the previous scene happened.

The reason why Ah Cheng wanted to find this "Sledgehammer" screenwriter was to have a good discussion.

So. . .

"Teacher Ah Cheng, actually..." Xiang Yang is a sledgehammer!That's the truth.

Now I have completely understood it. Since your teacher, Acheng, wants to argue with me, then I can also accompany you.

What do we have to be afraid of?

But just when he was about to say, I am actually a sledgehammer.

"Ahem..." The young master grabbed Xiang Yang's lapel and coughed twice.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but look at the young master, "Comrade Wan Qian, you don't have a cold, do you?"

What he really meant was this, 'Why don't you let me talk?' '

Although the literal expressions of the couple's words are very different, the meaning can definitely be conveyed.

The young master didn't look at him at all. He pulled his clothes under the table and Teacher Acheng couldn't see him. The young master smiled and said to Teacher Acheng: "The screenwriter Sledgehammer... he is very mysterious. Comrade Xiang Yang and I are filming. At that time, I had never seen who Sledgehammer was. Teacher Acheng, your plight is indeed very pitiful, but we can't help you."

Teacher Ah Cheng couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and Xiangyang...

He felt helpless for a while.

My wife's ability to uncover the blindness is also second to none.

Ah Cheng, what you see in front of you is a sledgehammer, and the name of this sledgehammer was given by Comrade Wan Qian, who respects you so much.

Of course, these were all complaints in his heart, and after complaining, Xiang Yang wanted to laugh.

But you can't laugh, hold it in.

"Xiang Yang, you are also very angry, right?" Teacher Acheng looked at Xiang Yang's expression, and he deeply misunderstood.

Xiang Yang was almost gnashing his teeth, otherwise he couldn't help but laugh, so he had to make a scolding gesture and said: "Plagiarism will definitely be shouted at by everyone!"

This sentence is really powerful.

But then he said: "But, did the screenwriter Sledgehammer really plagiarize? Mr. Acheng, you think it is plagiarism, but does it definitely mean plagiarism? Is there any relevant institutional certification?"

These words stopped Ah Cheng in his tracks, and he hesitated for a moment.

Yes, of course no one currently believes that "Blind Kill" plagiarized "Suspect".

Xiang Yang continued: "I have also read "The Devotion of Suspect X", but I don't think it can be said to be plagiarism? How many similarities are there? Not too many."

This doubt made Teacher Ah Cheng very angry, and said: "It is definitely plagiarism! It's just...that sledgehammer is very smart, and I actually know it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to define it as plagiarism."

After saying this, the young man breathed out a sigh of relief.

Of course she knows the truth, and of course she also knows that "Blind Kill" was written by her husband after watching "Suspect" and learning from it.

So, based on what my husband said, there is also Ah Cheng’s performance.

That is, this is not plagiarism at all.

It's just that Teacher Acheng was depressed for a while, his ideas were not clear enough, and he got into trouble.

Xiang Yang's words were actually for this purpose. He was telling the young master to reassure her.

It must be said that the two of them at this moment definitely contributed a classic performance.

They were obviously a couple, but without any flaws, they not only saved the teacher Acheng, but also kept the secret of the screenwriter of Dahami. What's more interesting is that even the teacher Acheng was shaken by the plagiarism incident. .

But sometimes, if people get into trouble, it's hard to get out.

"No! It's just plagiarism! Maybe it can't be recognized! But I won't let such a black sheep in the literary world get away!"

After Ah Cheng finished speaking, he took a sip of wine.

"Thank you both for your life-saving grace today. I can only repay it tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and left like a hero.

Xiangyang and Xiaoye, you look at me, I look at you, here. . .

Hahaha!
I can finally laugh.

But will this incident have any impact on "Blind Kill"?
"Daughter-in-law, I dare to tell anyone that it is definitely not plagiarism. The so-called plagiarism of a large number of articles in the world refers to borrowing. I did borrow from Mr. Higashino's works, but if "Blind Kill" is plagiarized, then no one will I can’t write anymore.”

Xiang Yang's words were resounding and extremely serious.

The young man looked into his eyes and nodded, "Husband, of course I believe you."

This time, it was not called Sledgehammer.

Xiang Yang was very happy, but still wanted to ask, "Then why didn't you let me explain it clearly just now?"

"Husband~" When the young man saw that there was no one around, he acted coquettishly, "Don't you see? This teacher Ah Cheng is going crazy. If you continue to stimulate him, he might actually jump into the sea. After all, it’s a human life, we both grew up watching his movies, and he’s so old, why bother arguing with him.”

After hearing this, Xiang Yang couldn't help but hugged the young master into his arms, "I knew my daughter-in-law was kind."

"Oh, come on!" Get away quickly, don't be seen.

In fact, the young man was very happy that Xiangyang could still listen to her suggestions.

But well. . .

"If it has a bad influence on "Blind Killing", that..."

"What bad effects could there be? What should I be afraid of if I haven't done anything before?"

Xiang Yang's performance made me fall in love with him even more.

What does it mean for a man to stand upright?

It means I have no guilt in my heart.

Moreover, Xiang Yang also said: "Anyway, our chances of winning an award in Cannes this time are too small."

It's like telling the truth.

What else can I say?
I pinched him twice and went home.

Teacher Ah Cheng wanted to throw himself into the sea and accuse the screenwriter Dahami of plagiarism. Xiang Yang and Xiao Ye only thought it was a minor incident.

Unexpectedly, it really had an impact.

……

　Today's second update is here. I'm going to take a nap first. Please don't worry, I will continue to explode today.
