Chapter 135 Creativity and Copyright (Fifth!)

The format of "Millionaire" is very simple, that is, if you answer 15 consecutive multiple-choice questions correctly, then you can get a bonus of 1 million.

Of course, on the surface, it doesn't seem difficult at all, but it's just 15 questions!

But the fact is, since the show's inception, based on weekly episodes, basically one or two people who answer all the questions a year are pretty good.

Most of the people, that is, they only get the first and second grade bonuses, and few can rush to the third grade.

why?

The reason is that these 15 questions are not from one aspect at all, it includes all aspects of knowledge.

There is history, common sense, literature, technology, physics... etc. Every question seems easy to professionals, but the key is that there is no almighty in this world. People, so very few people can master all these items, so as to choose 15 questions correctly.

Since very few people can answer 15 questions correctly and get a bonus of 1 million, why is this show still so popular and so fascinated?

The reason is also very simple.

For nothing.

Think about it, you only need fifteen minutes or half an hour to answer the questions. If you answer correctly, you will earn 1 million. If you want to work, how many years will it take you to earn 1 million?

In contrast, the half-hour answer is simply too fast, so this is a typical example of getting rich overnight.

In order to obtain these 1 million, the crazy spirit of the people is simply unimaginable.

Even the people watching the show are full of a sense of substitution for the contestants here, and hope that after seeing one episode of the show, a millionaire will appear and realize the transformation from ordinary people to rich people!

As long as the audience is interested, is the show afraid that no one will watch it?

Yin Jun has no doubts about the success of "Millionaire".

However, the production of this program requires careful preparation.

No matter how good the program is, you can only produce a high-quality program if you produce it seriously.

It is naturally impossible for Yin Jun to write a plan, so he can leave everything to his own production team. For the first 10 or so issues, Yin Jun needs to do the most detailed planning, and then take them to do a few issues together. , so that they can find the essence of "Millionaire", so that they can make their own.

Then again, the plan is definitely the most important part.

And writing detailed plans and plans is what Yin Jun is best at.

Of course, before writing the plan, Yin Jun has a prerequisite to do, and that is to apply for copyright.

In developed countries and regions, the application of copyright is a very serious matter, which is completely different from the application of various copyrights in China in terms of meaning and effect.

In China, many copyright disputes are based on the contradiction between how to plagiarize and how much to plagiarize. By 2020, the copyright and patent protection law still has great deficiencies in this regard.

It's very simple to say one aspect.

In China, if your program format, category, creativity, expression, etc. are similar to other people's programs, this will not constitute copyright infringement at the legal level.

Only if you borrow the exact same behavior of other people's advertising slogans, special trademarks, gestures, etc., can it be regarded as infringement.

Are you feeling devastated?

The plagiarism that can be seen by a discerning person at a glance, actually told me that it is not the same program, similar does not mean the same, so it is not infringing!

Really XX!

This is Chi Guoguo's effort to give other people's efforts to those shameless people!

Because of this, the shameless "Huaguo Good Record" directly used the creativity of "Huaguo Good Voice".

People choose a good singer, you choose a good song by the singer; when people turn around to choose, you block a board in front of the mentor; how they advance to the competition, how do you advance to the competition... It is not an exaggeration to say that they are twins !

Yes.

Both programs are produced by Canxing Company, which has obtained the copyright of "The Voice". In theory, they can extend the creation of new programs based on "The Voice". , directly playing with the copyright owner, is it really kind?

However, the Canxing family still owns the copyright, and many other companies directly ignore the copyright and directly plagiarize.

Isn't Jiangdong Satellite TV's "The Star Comes to My Home" just a copy of "The Great In-law's Family" from another Korean TV station?

Isn't "If You Are the One" a copy of "Let's Date" from the UK?

Isn't the originator of the talent show "Super Girl" also accused of copying their "IODL" by FremantleMedia in the United Kingdom? It's just that in the end, seeing that Huaguo didn't deal with it at all, and the lawsuit required a lot of cost, they were forced to cancel the lawsuit, but from then on, they hated Huaguo's TV station!

There are also "Flowers and Teenagers" and "Sister Over Flowers"... and so on, shameless plagiarism is simply endless.

But in the mainland, such plagiarism does not constitute infringement, and you can't do anything about them.

So they keep plagiarizing and "imitation".

In the end, apart from these, they don't even have any creativity of their own at all. It can be said that they don't need to be creative at all, they can just copy it directly. Where does it take so much effort?

But!

If this matter is abroad, it is not a problem at all.

Don't say "learning", even if there are some similarities, you will be sued for bankruptcy, and no one will sympathize with you.

Even super-big TV stations like BBC TV and NBC are very determined when they encounter such a program copyright dispute - as long as there is a dispute, it will stop broadcasting immediately, without giving any face, until you settle it.

Usually in the court, for such a case, it is also inclined to the party who created these ideas first, and the people behind no matter what you say, even if it is really you behind closed doors, creating the same link as the people in front project, it is impossible to win the case.

It is precisely because they are so harsh on creative copyrights that foreign creative companies are numerous, and they are actively innovating, not afraid of their own efforts being plagiarized and stolen by others.

Because of this, foreign variety shows are just as wonderful as we have seen since 2010.

If they are all plagiarizing and plagiarizing as crazy as the mainland, then they are probably the same as the mainland, and they are just lingering on bad programs with no new ideas.

The current laws in Hong Kong are similar to those in the United Kingdom, so in addition to the convenience of applying for patents in Hong Kong, you can also apply for creative copyrights for variety shows in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Japan and South Korea through the Patent Office here.

As for those small countries that have not been able to develop in the future, for example, Yin Jun did not apply for it, because there is no need for that.

However, entrusting Xiangjiang to apply is only an expedient measure, and it is not suitable for long-term application.

If you really want to apply for these, Yin Jun should try his best to apply for himself, or someone he trusts, especially the United States.

In the future, the economic volume and total entertainment volume of the United States will be almost one-third to one-half of the world's. It just so happens that they are also one of the countries that most respect the achievements of labor and creativity. Jun is never finished eating.

Gossip less.

After completing these procedures, Yin Jun began to seriously write the planning and specific program arrangements for "Millionaire" at home.

Apart from visiting Aunt Zhang and practicing speaking with Zeng Yanqian, Yin Jun hardly went out.

Strange to say, no one called him to disturb him in the past two days, so that Yin Jun could have a quiet writing environment.

...

"Dududu..."

There was still such a voice on the phone.

Zheng Donghan regretfully shook his head at a slightly plump beauty beside him: "I still can't get through, or the phone is not put away, or the phone is broken."

"That's it!" The round-faced beauty sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, I'm going back to Treasure Island tomorrow! I've already said it, and I want to thank him."

"A-Jun is not that kind of person who doesn't keep his promises, something must have happened." Zheng Donghan pondered, "Otherwise, I will find a friend of Jiashi later, ask him where he lives, and then I will personally To invite him?"

"no need."

The beauty shook Fanzhen lightly, "The encounter between people is about fate. Since Ajun and I have no fate yet, let's wait for the next time!"

After speaking, she smiled again, "Maybe we will have more surprises next time we meet."

Zheng Donghan unconsciously smiled.

Although she is a big singer in Southeast Asia, her personality is really like a child.

Mingming asked someone to ask, so she could know Yin Jun's address, and then asked him to come out to watch her concert, but she didn't, and she gave up because the phone couldn't get through.

People who didn't know her character would think she had a bad impression of Yin Jun.

However, Zheng Donghan also has to admit that the beauty in front of her has an unspeakable charm. Even if you don't like her, it is absolutely impossible to hate her. Such a simple girl will be welcomed by people wherever she goes. Yes, like several concerts held in a row over the past three days.

Moreover, the songs that Yin Jun wrote for her are not that great when viewed alone, but listening to her sing in the past three days, it is really like the sound of nature.

This woman was born to sing!

If in this world, without her singing, how lonely people would be!
