The screenwriters of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Love Apartment" have both watched "Friends". The difference is that the former dismantled, smashed, and mixed the essence into his own creation, and used 120 Work hard to create a sitcom that belongs to the Chinese people.

In the creation of movies, ACGN and other industries, paying homage means deliberately using the same elements from previous works. element to express acknowledgment of its contribution, it should be noted that this term is different from parody, which also uses the same element, and the element used does not exist exclusively for humor or ridicule (but this happens in comedy works However, both are also secondary creations.
In addition, tribute is not plagiarism, and tribute cannot be used as an excuse for plagiarism. A true tribute will make people feel the similarity of the works being paid to. The visuals are very different from the original work (source: Baidu Encyclopedia)
Wulin Gaiden clearly mentioned that the God of Wealth in "Friends" must have liked the show very much and incorporated him into the show. This is a tribute. .
In order to pay tribute to "Six People", there is a calligraphy work on the bedside of the scholar in the play "Six people, there must be my teacher"
And "Love Apartment" is completely copied. Including lines and scenes, Wang Yuan once admitted that some of the jokes in the play came from foreign film and television dramas, but they were "created on the basis of imitation." The core browser is not much different.
But it turns out that the scope of plagiarism in "Love Apartment" is very wide.
