The TV series "Tang Dynasty Tricks 2", which has exceeded 10,000 popularity, is in trouble! The blogger "Real Caicai" posted an article accusing Chen Minzheng, the stylist of "Tang Dynasty Tricks", of plagiarism, and came up with a number of strong evidence, which sparked heated discussions.
The blogger said that the design photos released by styling director Chen Minzheng are highly similar to her own photos in 2021, with two directly using her own photos with only changing the background, and one with a head change. By comparing the photos, you can see that they are almost identical.
Chen Min is the styling director of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and also participated in the styling design of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the blogger believes that such a famous teacher should give a reasonable explanation for plagiarism, rather than deleting it, or avoiding the important and shirking the responsibility.
Then, Chen Min responded to the plagiarism incident, but avoided plagiarism in its entirety, saying that the team's internal staff used the blogger's work as a design reference material, and he himself thought it was great after reading it and passed it, but he mistakenly thought it was AI design at that time. and glad that it was not used in the series, and thanked the other party for the inspiration, saying that he would be cautious in finding materials in the future and pay attention to copyright issues, but he hastily apologized.
According to Chen Minzheng's response, plagiarizing the style is useless because the director of the series did not pass it, so the crew can be exempted from responsibility, but Chen Minzheng and his designers are not innocent. And comparing the changed styling in the play, you will find that the similarity with the plagiarized styling is also very high, but the color and part of the design have been adjusted.
Blogger Cai Cai was directly laughed at when he saw this response, and posted a post mocking Chen Minzheng's arrogance and arrogance, without realizing his mistake at all. Judging from Chen Minzheng's response, he did not really apologize, nor did he seriously respond to rights protection demands.
And his sentence "I thought it was an AI design" was even more slapping the face of the original designer, thinking that AI design could be used directly without copyright, not realizing that AI design also has copyright, and the psychology of not respecting originality was exposed.
Many netizens saw Chen Minzheng's response, calling on the blogger to take the legal channel to defend his rights, and reprimanded Chen Minzheng for being a stylist in vain, and throwing the blame at the unrefuted copying of the work, which is shocking.
So, Chen Min is throwing the plagiarism problem on the carelessness of his designers, is the logic smooth? Not at all, in Chen Minzheng's comment area, many netizens expressed their opinions on the modeling, such as asking why the modeling was not restored? Chen Minzheng replied that the style and vision of the drama should be used to make a drama, and the costume style should be adjusted according to the state of the actors, which does not look like he has not participated in the guidance of the modeling, and it is difficult to completely get rid of plagiarism.
And as a big stylist, there is also a mistake of lax review of the release of plagiarized works, even if it is not used in the series, but it has been publicly posted on social platforms by himself, so it is reasonable to sincerely apologize to the plagiarized person, rather than an attitude of appreciating food from above. Originality is the soul of a designer, and it is really unnecessary for a master with plagiarism controversy to show his superiority in front of the original creator.
Although Chen Minzheng's title is powerful, some netizens said that his business level is poor, and letting this kind of person have the right to speak is not good for the development of the industry. For example, when Chen Minzheng talked about the restoration of Tang Dynasty costumes, he said that the thin body shape of the actors was inconsistent with the plump mural, which did not conform to the contemporary review, and these netizens who knew the costumes of the Tang Dynasty and the restored culture were all excuses for poor ability and poor aesthetics, because the mural styles of different periods of the Tang Dynasty were compatible with body types such as fat and thin.
Finally, please ask Chen Minzheng to return to the topic of plagiarism, and take the designer who is looking for materials under his hands to apologize seriously!
