口水創意 2 之抄考?



看到這個:
英國出生的紐約攝影師 Philip Toledano 的 Hope and Fear
康港廣告商會 (4As) 的《省靚招牌五十年》

想起那個:
瑞士藝術家 Peter Fischli and David Weiss 的 The Way Things Go (Der Lauf der Dinge) (1987)。
Wieden+Kennedy (London) 的 Honda – The Cog (2003)。

剽竊、抄襲,永遠很難劃一條線將黑與白分清。相信大哥璋的《康港好相似設計》多年來已經把這點陳列得清清楚楚。直接照 dup,還是,經過思考有理有由地套用現在手法去重新演繹創意,有時,真的審死官。

跟朋友講起今次「4As 反省事件」,朋友提出了一個有趣的疑問:為甚麼審都唔駛審,re 都唔駛 research,人們便一口咬定佢哋 (港人) 抄人呢?我答:reputation 囉!「朵」,名聲,聲譽有多重要,不用多提。一次不忠百次不用,「朵」臭了,賣再多廣告也是枉然。雖則話康港人是集體失憶的一群,但不到兩年前 Loko Asia 泡製的「陳冠希康港 Levi’s vs Sean John」事件,仍歷歷在目,明目張膽程度簡直令人咋舌。要是蚊型公司機構有如斯所作所為,勉強都可以隻眼開隻眼閉。但自稱創意先行、賣品味賣設計、自居食腦一族,竟然如此低手不要臉,那未免太刁丟架了!做 job 有客戶壓力為交貨有時都情有可原。Promote 自己行業,做自己嘢,重要係金禧!都抄?!做商業創作,賣錢嘢有時欠缺創意,都可以賴環境賴市場;身為創作人,自己嘢都抄,絕不可以原諒!

在某部落格看到有人提出,究竟何謂「inspired by」何謂「plain copying」呢?我覺得這已經涉及到行業內的忠誠 (integrity) 問題。今時今日,無論抄得幾僻都好,要收風,數分鐘內可以傳遍半個地球。我打死不信那些剽竊者不知道 internet 的利害,他們又不是日日揭外國雜誌、上網搵 reference 呢。可怕之處在於,從媒體找 visual reference,再看圖度橋,把意念度身 fit 到 visual 上;或者相反,初部意念有了,獨欠耀眼視像,試圖從媒體找尋適用且可套用的 visual,原汁原味地「來個港版」!雖則說「idea is king」,但講到尾,gimmick、搞鬼誇張 visual 勝於一切。在甚麼都要快快快、準準準的分秒必爭環境,康港人永遠自有一套應變良策!忠不忠誠,正不正直,不是妖獸都市的價值觀。

「引入」外國事物「來個港版」,經已越來越普及,朝夕為口奔馳的普羅大眾也難有閒暇雅興探究一番,總之在本土範圍內「work」,就得。903 年賞佈景是
「港版的 MTV」
、《藥水明哥》是 「港版 Björk 」、metropop 是「港版 ppaper」 … … 我都費事數落去。簡直 SHAMELESS!!!… … 看到 Honda 的《The Cog》,可能有人會覺得同《The Way Things Go》如出一轍,含抄襲成份。但人家無論意念和表達手法,都是配合得宜,合情合理。不像甚麼省靚招牌,硬套上「引入 visual」這麼牽強,懶幽默。其實,搵阿曾 Sir,攞住支省銅膏同 4As 個招牌,一味省呀省,咪重有康港特色,平易近人!正所謂:「It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. (Herman Melville)」嘛!

舊文重溫:口水創意
好事不出門:Hong Kong Hell — 省你五十年
香港好相似設計 — 香港廣告商會 v.s. Philip Toledano
bad taste but smell good — 康港精神 巧合到暈
畢明 — 有大隻 copycat 隨街跳

R君曾經以當今CSI電視劇既科技標準,批評20年前某場戲的犯案手法犯駁+不專業:
(即係等同鬧點解80年代班死蠢唔識用ai format 用輸出)

今朝睇完呢篇,都仲未知乜事...後來去左china town某茶餐廳揭下本壹週,見到,明左。

基本上visual同個issue完全唔拉姦,十分無謂。

UPDATE: 跟據這裏這裏的記錄,Philip Toledano 的作品應該於 2006 年 十月或以前發表。

k仔,咁都有百科?!真可愛!

aggole,康港剽竊者通常都係抄近年的外國作品,遠少少嘅,一來失憶了,二來覺得唔夠 in,抄都抄得膚淺過人!

biu,好想聽下佢哋有乜創意回應。

其實有冇可能係 4As 搵 Philip Toledano 搞呢壇嘢嘅呢?

請告知我的推測是對的!

學子:有既話,rationale或者mass media應該有提及才對。

朋友:可能我未揭晒就走左啦,無留意到。今晚再揭過。

我想知係班人被揭發後,會唔會驚?呢幾日會唔會覺得特別有壓力?會唔會覺得好後悔,以後唔再敢去抄?會唔會尊重番原創?

各位,我可以去邊度伸冤呢?我Post完Toledano段專訪,就收到上面R君寄來o既警告信:

"我對你無話可說
這可能是我最後一次與你對話

我承認我在言語間過於偏激, 可是我並不認為我說錯你

如果你要繼續做你現在做的事, 隨便, 不過我要提醒你, 你以這態度在任何一個地方都無法融入, 好自為之"

原來錯o既係我 :(

大陸 A 貨收 A 貨價錢。
康港 A 貨收 正貨價錢。

既然都是 A 貨,何苦幫襯貴嘢?

我惗,4As 今次一定吸引到 石景山遊樂園 等大客垂青了!

biu, well done ! please keep updating us. :)

事件如常漸漸被淡化,跟《口水創意 1》一樣 —— website 即時被鏟走,當事人從此絕口不再提,善用港人集體失憶的天性,加「董氏唔提等於唔存在大法」,一於 life goes on。當年華盛頓如果死撐不認錯,可能成就更大。

對於學子而言,此事件加上淫審處的多番大發淫威,無疑是最有力不過的勸戒 —— 想做創作,勿在康港。牠們的好意,學子心深領會!

"事件如常漸漸被淡化..."

Perhaps things are not so pessimistic 學子, as I just read a very recent post by the popular blogger Yat Chee over at Diuman Park who brought up this particular incident again in his discussion of another fresh plagiarism scandal - this time concerning the stealing of blog posts apparently! And apparently even HK high school students are nowadays educated to plagiarise, with entries to a story-writing competition being copied from the works of established authors! The link is here:
