Personally, I don’t think the special effects can be considered plagiarism, they can only be said to be similar.
After Guo Jingming’s Qin Ya Di was released, some netizens discovered that Qing Yadi seemed to have plagiarized Doctor Strange from Marvel Comics. Many of the scenes are very similar to scenes in Doctor Strange. Normally, regarding spells or formations, these settings are similar to many science fiction movies. However, many netizens have enlarged the special effects shots of Qing Ya Ji and posted that the settings are exactly the same, making netizens wonder whether these ideas are Guo Jingming’s own.
However, some netizens countered that time travel or formations were already available in various objective games a long time ago. Could it be said that those science fiction games are also copied from Doctor Strange? In fact, the science fiction part cannot be said to be plagiarism, but it is just a similar way of appearing. These things are found in many science fiction movies, so they are not so sensitive.
In fact, the author thinks that there is really no plagiarism or non-plagiarism in the special effects. The special effects of Chinese movies have not been very good since the beginning. At present, the special effects and fighting parts of Qin Ya Ji can be said to be the best among similar movies. Awesome. We should see the progress of domestic films, instead of digging into the details and always saying that domestic films are plagiarized. Compared with the special effects plagiarism part, we should focus more on the content of the story. The story content of Qing Ya Ji is really average. The current Douban score is only 5.2 points, but overall, this is one of the six films directed by Guo Jingming. The best one and still worth watching.
I have to tell another story here. On the 24th, the day before Qin Ya Ji was released, Guo Jingming posted on Weibo and said that the review score of Qin Ya Ji was as high as 9.2 points. This is a bit dumbfounding. The movie has not been released yet, and it has scored as high as 9.2. I don’t know who gave this score. I hope that in the future, Chinese movies will rely more on excellent plots and actors’ performances, as well as smoothness. Special effects are used to win the favor of the audience, instead of attracting box office through some eye-catching remarks every time it is released.
