Is there an original novel in Yangcheng anshao? If so, where can I download it? thank you
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lu, the former director of the Land and Grain Bureau of the Kuomintang, lurked in Guangzhou. Under the cover of fortune telling, he gradually attracted a group of people and organized the so-called "China People's Appeal Group". They conspired to intercept the ship to Hong Kong, and then went to the United Nations to file a so-called "complaint". This was the famous "the first major case in Guangzhou" at that time. After cracking this bold and absurd case, the Ministry of Public Security decided to make it into a movie, so there was the later "Yangcheng Underguard".
The movie version of "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng" is a household name. The story combines the real events of the "Guangzhou No.1 Case" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the materials of another enemy spy case that was detected at that time, and became a landmark work of China's anti-espionage films in the 1950s. The film is not satisfied with weaving a tortuous and tense story, but also creates a number of characters with distinctive personalities, such as Wang Lian, Bagu and Yimei.
The daughter of Chen Canyun, a screenwriter, thinks that the TV series "Yangcheng AnShao" is infringing.
The TV series "The Dark Whistle of Yangcheng", which claimed to be adapted from the "Red Classic" movie of the same name, was broadcasted for three episodes in east movie channel on June 16, but it encountered a copyright dispute just after its launch. Chen Ru, the daughter of Chen Canyun, the late screenwriter of the movie "The Secret Whistle in Yangcheng", told this reporter yesterday that the producer of the TV series "The Secret Whistle in Yangcheng" followed the classic name, key clues and two characters of the film literary script, which constituted "infringement" on her father's works. "TV producers didn't even say hello to us without the permission of the copyright owner. We hope that the relevant parties will give a statement to show respect for my father. "
The daughter of the original screenwriter thinks:
Inscription clues constitute "infringement"
The film "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng" produced by Shanghai Film Studio was released on 1957, which is known as the "red classic". The producers of the TV series "Yangcheng Anshao" are Shanghai Film Group and Guangdong Runshi, with Wang Xuebing and Zhang Xinyi as the main stars. In a series of previous publicity activities, the media mentioned that the play was based on "a red classic adaptation".
According to Chen Ru, the film "Yangcheng Ambush" was adapted from a true story by Chen Canyun, a famous Guangdong writer. Chen Canyun was the chairman of Guangdong Writers Association. 1955 went deep into life in Guangzhou Public Security Bureau and served as deputy director of the office. Later, according to a real case, he completed the film and television literary script of "Yangcheng Ambush" in the summer of 1956 and sent it to Shanghai Film Studio.
1957 The movie "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng" was released, which is a well-known anti-espionage classic. Many viewers still remember the images of Wang Lian, female spy Bagu and Yimei in the film. Chen Ru told reporters that as the screenwriter of the film "The Assault of Yangcheng", Chen Canyun owns the copyright. "After my father died in 2002, as an heir, I automatically owned the copyright. The TV series "Jones of Yangcheng" claims to be a remake of this "red classic", but we have not been contacted since the filming, which is an obvious infringement.
Although there are almost subversive changes in the plot and characters, Chen Ru said that the play constitutes infringement in three aspects: First, the title of the TV series embezzled the film literary script "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng". "Since the content has changed, why keep the name" Yangcheng AnShao "? It is nothing more than to attract old audiences who have feelings for movies and infringe on the interests of relevant rights holders. " Secondly, the two roles of Yimei and Bagu in the film also stole two roles from the film literature script. Thirdly, "Who is Aunt Mei" in the movie script laid a suspense for the whole movie, and the TV series also used this suspense throughout 23 episodes. The whole play revolves around "looking for the spy chief Mei Yi", which is similar to the plot of a movie script.
The producer's defense is:
Shangying owns the copyright of "Yangcheng anshao"
However, Miss Zhang, the propaganda director of Guangdong Runshi, told the reporter that the film "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng" was produced by Shanghai Film Factory, and Shanghai Film Group owns the copyright of "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng", so there is no infringement problem. A staff member of the editorial department of Shanghai Film Channel also said that Shanghai Film Group has always attached importance to intellectual property rights, so there should be no infringement.
The lawyer said:
The adaptation of the film should also be approved.
The new and old "Yangcheng anshao" was born 50 years apart, and the plot and content are quite different; Moreover, it seems logical for Shanghai Film Studio to change the TV series "Yangcheng Anshao". Does this still constitute infringement? The reporter consulted Tang Xiyou, a senior intellectual property lawyer of Guangdong Zezheng Law Firm. He said that for works that can be used independently, such as scripts and music, the author has the right to exercise copyright alone. Therefore, Chen Canyun owns the copyright of the film and literary script of "Yangcheng Ambushou". In less than 50 years after his death, the copyright was inherited by the legal heir. Therefore, although TV plays have subverted most of the content, they have the same name, the same characters and clues, and the works should be adapted with the consent of the copyright owner.
He also said that the Shanghai Film Studio owns the copyright of the film "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng", but this work is actually adapted from the film literary script of Chen Canyun's "The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng". Even if the Shanghai Film Studio is adapted again, it must obtain the consent of the copyright owner.
