Recently, there has been an extremely heated discussion about "stealing photos" on the Internet, mainly because Xue Zhiqian posted a long article entitled "Peeking" on social **. Xue Zhiqian's article sparked widespread heated discussions, and people expressed their attitudes towards the theft. This work is mainly a support for Han Han's "Flying Life 2", and inserts three screen shots** into it, which later sparked a debate about "stealing shots".
The Broadway Cinematheque will do it as soon as possible**, and it is recommended to change the title from "Peek" to "** and civilized viewing will not accept screen shots.
After that, Xue Zhiqian did not apologize for filming on the screen in the cinema, but posted a Weibo post called "limerick" in response, suggesting that netizens may be too worried.
Recently, with the exit of CCTV and the heated discussion of the public, Xue Zhiqian's entire discussion of the incident has gradually deviated from the focus.
What exactly does screen photography mean? Screen photography refers to the use of a camera or mobile phone to capture the screen and post it to the Internet or other public places when a movie is being made in a movie theater or other film display venue**.
According to this definition, Xue Zhiqian's actions have undoubtedly formed a screen effect.
There is still a great deal of controversy about the specific definition of "piracy". This is also why Xue Zhiqian's fans will not hesitate to claim that "Xue Zhiqian did not steal the film" and claim that the photography is only to promote the movie. Since the director did not make any remarks, Xue Zhiqian was criticized as a cyber bully and was completely innocent.
The topic itself is very controversial, but since CCTV released the Weibo of "there is no legal theft", ** has almost reached its peak, and the comment with the highest number of likes is "Xue Zhiqian's unjustified disaster". Under the Weibo of "Xue Zhiqian's unjustified disaster", fans have attacked one after another to criticize those who oppose screen photography. Many fans ridiculed those who opposed the screen this time, and called on everyone to apologize for Xue Zhiqian and his fans.
Xue Zhiqian's screen shooting style has attracted many fans, and they have imitated this style, forming a wave of opposition to wisdom. They use ** and words to express their views and opinions on social issues, spreading positive energy in the network. Some people even choose to broadcast "Hot and Hot" live on the ** platform, which undoubtedly redefines a person's moral concept.
From the point of view of Xue Zhiqian and his followers, they don't think it's wrong to use screen cameras, and they still do things their own way. Xue Zhiqian is an artist with a conscience. In fact, the real innocent person is not Xue Zhiqian, but Sun Yang.
In the past days, Sun Yang has always adhered to the principle of not stealing and recording when making movies, which led to Xue Zhiqian's fans besieging and abusing him, and even claiming that Sun Yang did not want to be famous in his life.
In fact, there have been experts in the film industry who have been trying to convey to the public that screen photography should be avoided when making movies, enhance awareness of copyright, and cultivate a good habit of civilized movie viewing.
In 2021, many celebrities participated in the recording of movie channels and made proposals against illegal photography. This action has aroused widespread resonance from all walks of life, and many movie theaters have also strengthened monitoring measures and implemented zero tolerance for those who are **. Lei Jiayin, Andy Lau, Shen Teng, Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei, among many other actors, participated in the show, and they made it clear to the audience that the movie currently being shown is not a tourist attraction, and the use of screen photography is an uncivilized behavior.
Today's Film Review Mtalk" has invited lawyers to popularize the knowledge of screen photography for the audience. "We're offering a one-person movie-watching experience, rather than buying a ticket and being able to shoot the content and distribute it," they said. In fact, the law expressly prohibits this. ”
In the public service advertisement for the copyright protection of theatrical films launched by the National Copyright Administration this year, it has been clearly pointed out that filming on the screen is prohibited.
During the Spring Festival last year, everyone made a concerted effort to reject illegal photography, while also maintaining copyright and civilized viewing habits. The audience in the cinema put away their mobile phones one after another, working together to maintain the good atmosphere of the movie. In 2021, CCTV released an article entitled "When the movie dragon mark is lit up, put away our mobile phones".
Three years later, he mustered up the courage to issue a statement saying that "there is no legal situation of piracy", which quickly opened a new chapter in the Chinese film industry. All this seems to be a scene in a movie, after the thirteenth elder brother slapped the sixth princess, the dramatic scene did not end. The absurdity in it feels like what some netizens described: the thirteenth elder brother gave the sixth princess a slap.
Therefore, people who use screen technology today are not ashamed, but proud. The screen photographer is also qualified, but the quality is very low, and he does not even have basic moral norms. Despite the heated debate, in the end knowledge was not widely disseminated, nor was the use of screen photography strongly promoted or rejected, but on the contrary, it encouraged more people to engage in this unqualified behavior. This is really a great harm to the development of human civilization! This is not only deeply saddening, but also makes the public realize that our social civilization is gradually declining.
We strongly advocate for the rejection of screen photography and piracy, because we really want creators in the creative field to have their copyright protection. This practice of protecting copyright not only respects the fruits of the work of creators, but also maintains the normal order of the cultural industry. As a result, behind the box office, there is usually a clear prohibition of photography, audio and video recording.
Although the knowledge of camera theft and screen photography is not widely disseminated in our daily lives, this results in them not receiving enough attention. Many people don't think it's important to simply share my **, so in the public perception it's seen more as a matter of public morality.
However, on other occasions, if you take pictures, record audio or ** in the cinema, such behavior has violated the law and copyright, and you may face criminal prosecution and imprisonment.
In fact, before that, many celebrities had been controversial because of their screen camera problems, but most of them chose to silently delete Weibo or publish an apology post afterwards. This time, the word "screen photography" also appeared in Zhang Yuqi's Weibo, which caused heated discussions. The last time it caused such widespread controversy, it was probably the singer Naiwan who released three screens in **"1921", and was publicly reprimanded. "I don't know what screen photography is, and I haven't seen it. After being reminded by fans, she realized her mistake and immediately released an apology.
Xue Zhiqian is one of many public figures, and despite his mistakes, he is still immersed in his inner world and refuses to admit his mistakes.
While many fans are reluctant to be blamed by the public, believing that they have been criticized, in reality, most are simply criticizing low-quality technology like screen photography.
Although it is not uncommon for fans to always be keen to pursue the right and make him think that even if he makes a mistake, he should not apologize, but when this kind of thing constantly changes the three views, people still can't help but start to wonder, why have these fan groups become so deformed and extreme? Extreme to the point that they can't tell right from wrong, fans seem to be driven by a frenzy of emotion and no longer look at things rationally. It's so extreme that it's hard to tell right from wrong.
What has to be emotional is that taking care of and supporting male stars as their "little treasures" does make the role of male stars quite easy. The director and screenwriter of "The annual meeting can't be stopped" spoke out, causing an uproar in the industry. Although the filmmakers rarely commented after the fact, they still wanted to stick to this principle, and the director and screenwriter of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" took the lead in publishing an article that made it clear that "screen shooting is against screen photography because it violates copyright law."
We don't know exactly how much of the butterfly effect this has caused, but we can foresee that in the future cinemas, there may be many cases of controversy caused by screen shooting issues.
Furthermore, the quality of most people's movies is not very high at the moment. For example, children crying loudly in the cinema, the audience chatting during the movie, the sound of the mobile phone is not muted, the screen effect is very good, etc., these are all situations that everyone often encounters. If you say more, you may be scolded by others, what does that have to do with you?
As a viewer, I spent money on a film and wanted to make it as a souvenir. This mentality is actually quite normal and understandable. As some people say, the purpose of my ** to the circle of friends is to tell everyone whether it looks good or not, if there is, we can discuss it, such ideas are acceptable.
The reason why I think so is because I am sure that most ordinary viewers only want to express their intentions when they are in this movie, and they do not intend to infringe on the rights and interests of others. I find it difficult to accept this because our work is treated as a commodity, and it is oriented towards commercial purposes, which is what the word "commercial" should contain. Therefore, the real challenge lies in the skill of "photography", how to do the photography, choosing the most suitable photographic object. When viewers share their life experiences, it is naturally best to consider and ensure that the creator's copyright is protected.
In dimly lit indoor environments, shots taken with a phone screen often lack aesthetics. Even if you shoot a poster in the lobby of a movie theater, the visual effect may be better than that of a screen shot. For example, when the movie "Anita Mui" was released, the theater set up a special check-in point.
The biggest challenge with screen technology for the average viewer is that it can ruin the overall mood of the movie. When you're completely immersed in the storyline of a movie, but the audience keeps taking pictures, this kind of low-quality behavior is undoubtedly so detrimental to your movie-watching experience that you don't want to go to the cinema again for a long time.
Of course, in addition to what is officially encouraged, such as the recent large-scale concert movies that are not very popular. In the darkness of the theater, the audience was immersed in the ** and the picture, as if they were in a moldy concert scene. Due to the difference in the nature of the two, Mildew himself also encourages fans to participate in singing and dancing together during the film, and he hopes that everyone can record it in person, as if it was an immersive meeting.
Although I have said a lot, I still hope that those who are ashamed will say a few more words, because to be polite and to make progress in civilization, it is necessary for everyone to know and agree, and if the consensus is different, no matter how much it is, it is also a harp to the cow.
The controversy that has occurred on the Internet in the past two years has made it acutely aware of the extreme difficulty of curbing the decline of public morality.
In public places, it has become quite difficult to ask the public not to raise their voices***, let alone questions such as "sanitary napkins are sold on the high-speed train", "should you thank the delivery person" or "why can't you drink milk tea on the subway", any one of which can lead to a long debate.
While it is true that we need to debate for the progress of society, what often makes us feel powerless is that we are still arguing about some basic common sense and moral standards of life.
Many people think that "as long as the law does not prohibit it", such screen photography is not illegal, but have you ever considered that the law is always the most basic moral requirement for people. Open defecation is uncivilized, and although it is not explicitly prohibited by law, social moral education tells us to respect others and the environment. Just as the law doesn't explicitly prohibit defecating in public places, do you really take photos to share after urinating in a public place?
In the process of civilization of society, although the road forward is full of challenges, retreat is a simple matter.
I realized that there are still a large number of people who firmly believe that screen photography is right, but what can really be done may only be to start with yourself, resolutely oppose screen photography and piracy, and avoid engaging in low-quality activities. I guess that's a misunderstanding because a lot of people don't really understand the relationship between screen cameras and camera thieves. The current situation may be similar to what Bomi mentioned in the podcast episode that "there is a causal relationship between us and this era". ”
