The secret of the photo shoot: 3 yuan/Figure 9,000 yuan monthly, how much is your idol worth?

Special feature of 1905 film network Hengdian is very lively at present, and many popular film and television works are being shot in Studio City.A group of popular artists gathered in Hengdian, which also promoted the business of a special group — — Professional substitute.


Before, there was a spit-and-shoot who ran to the studio in advance to hide in the rockery to shoot, and then there was a fight for the staff and the shoot-and-shoot, and then the crew found a private rest area where unrelated people broke in without authorization.


Recently, crews such as "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker Moon Red", "Wu You Du" and "With the Phoenix" have voiced their demands to boycott the filming. Previously, jade bone Yao, An Le Biography, County Courtyard and many other crews were also harassed by acting. I hope they can stop.


From actor makeup to filming tidbits to heavy scenes, the results of acting are various. Once these pictures or videos are regarded as Reuters’s outflow, it will have a certain impact on the confidentiality of the crew, and it will push the unexposed series to the forefront.


Therefore, the relationship between the crew and the substitute is "incompatible". One tried his best to ban filming, and the other racked his brains to shoot. The crew gets along with the substitute, just like the game "whack a mole".The phenomenon of substitute photography has been repeatedly banned.



"Revealing the secrets of professional photography"

Everywhere, the industry is involved


As the name suggests, filming in Hengdian is to shoot in Hengdian, and sell pictures or videos for profit by helping fans sneak shots or follow the crew.


It is understood that there are two main ways to make a profit on behalf of the auction.First, fans take the initiative to find a substitute film, pay a deposit in advance, and ask them to shoot a fixed crew. This kind of proxy service generally measures the price by the number of image frequencies or service time. In terms of the number of pictures, a single picture is 3-5 yuan; In terms of service days, it is about 300/ day. By analogy, fans can also request "monthly service", and the price is about 9000/ month.



"It is still rare for customers to take the initiative to ask for filming." On behalf of Xiao Leng, Hengdian revealed that their business is more about taking the initiative on their own.


Taking the initiative to attack on behalf of the film refers to its independent guarding of the crew and selling it after taking photos.Every night, they are busy testing the results of a day’s shooting. They are active in microBochaoIn the words, "out of the picture" also shuttled through various generation groups to "drink". It is not difficult to find out the trading needs of the buyer and the seller by opening the Weibo related superwords. In major social platforms, it is also easy to find an accurate "generation group".


Take one group chat as an example. Reuters, who is currently shooting TV series, has everything, and contact information will be added if there is a transaction demand.

Recently, many crews have stepped up their guard against the substitute filming, and "With the Phoenix" strongly declared that the front line should be strictly guarded against death, bluntly saying that there can only be one camera in the studio. "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker Moon Red" dispatched "Tu Shan’s anti-peeping umbrella" to block the long shot and protect the crew. The difficulty of shooting on behalf of the camera has improved a lot, and the market has changed accordingly.


A few days ago, Xiao Leng stayed in a popular cast for a whole day, but failed to take a good picture. When the picture was published that night, he quoted the price of the picture as 30% higher than usual.


"Because it’s really hard to shoot, others can’t shoot it." He explained.



Running around every corner of Hengdian with long guns and short guns during the day, at night, the photographers will fall into the "involution" and even derive the so-called "generation literature".


"The man and the woman walked gracefully on the steps. The man came out of the Woods and took out his cloak to put on the woman. The deep love rose leisurely in the valley."


"The hero and heroine were chased by a group of killers. In a critical moment, the two hugged each other tightly. Live or die. As long as they are together at the moment. "


Daipai’s description of picture frequency is like Jinjiang novels, which evokes fans’ desire for consumption with words full of picture sense.


Screenshot of some proxy group information


Such as exclusive, eye contact, card position, etc. are all "highlights" to attract fans. They have their own slang with their fans. Fo is focus, which means to shoot a picture or video directly. A big bag means more photos, and a small bag means fewer photos.


And seemingly varied, the image frequency chosen by Ren Jun may actually hide a scam.Buyers who know the ropes often ask for a preview before buying pictures. Because they know in their hearts that the seller’s hype is only a common propaganda technique in the industry in the end. It is inevitable that there may be "the goods are not right" in the photos that are really available.


Screenshot of some proxy group information


It is worth noting that professional acting is not only active in Hengdian crew, but also the popular film and television base Qingdao in recent years has become the "hardest hit" for acting.


The crews that recently started in Qingdao, such as "Countdown Love You", "Heart of a Child" and "Hello, Mr. Captain", have become the new targets of the generation photographers.



In addition to the shooting scene, you can also capture the active figures of the photographers at major airports and commercial activities.


This can’t help but arouse the public’s curiosity. Surrogates are everywhere, and they shoot everything. Can you really make a lot of money by filming like this? There have been rumors on the Internet that a surrogate can earn 100,000 yuan a month and buy a car and house in just a few months. Is this true again?


Nini, who has been a professional substitute for three years, denied this statement to us. "This is false. The income of airport and event filming is almost the same as that of crew filming. What is more expensive is the photo taken by the event official, and the picture is only a three-digit one. It is unreasonable to take a monthly income of 100,000. "


Nini said that the pictures taken on behalf of others can only be traded once. Because buyers send pictures online, they will bump into pictures if they sell them to others. This is also a factor that limits income. Besides, if fans ask to film a commercial activity, especially in other places. They need to get relevant documents from the scalpers and be responsible for the transportation expenses. "Buyers are only responsible for buying pictures and will not care about these."


"What’s more, some photos, if they can’t be sold, are equal to losing money and taking pictures." She added.


"Deconstructing the behavior of substitute filming"

Both the buyer and the seller are illegal, and if the circumstances are serious, they may bear criminal responsibility.


Daipai has been active in artists’ eyes for a long time, and some buyers even turn the pictures from Daipai into Reuters for dissemination.


What would you do if you met this Reuters while surfing the Internet?In Douban, nearly 400 netizens took part in a vote on the attitude towards "Reuters". Half of the netizens said that when they saw the new Reuters, they would "only move beautiful pictures" or "only act as porters in the atmosphere group", and 39% of the voters said that they would "be authorized to move them again".


Douban voting screenshot


In the same poll, in a discussion about "boycotting Reuters", 62% of the voters said that "they just want to see Reuters", 39% of the netizens said "respect and understand, boycott Reuters", and only 26% of the netizens said that "it is suggested to buy Reuters’s products directly", which means that the boycott will go further.


It can be seen that at present, the audience in Reuters still has a certain legal awareness, but this does not override the behavior of most people browsing pictures or even carrying beautiful pictures.


Douban voting screenshot


It is obviously illegal to shoot on behalf of others. So what kind of responsibility should buyers and sellers bear?


Wang Yahui, a lawyer from Beijing Anbo Law Firm, clearly pointed out in our interview that both the buyer and the seller are infringers. The act of stealing photos and making profits by taking photos with artists constitutes an infringement on personal portrait rights and privacy rights, and the transaction of taking photos on behalf of buyers and sellers constitutes a joint infringement on artists.


"Portrait rights and privacy rights belong to personality rights, which are stipulated in the fourth part of China’s Civil Code. For those who take photos or sneak shots involving personal privacy, according to Article 42 of China’s Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, the public security organ may detain the actor for less than five days or impose a fine of less than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and may be fined up to five hundred yuan. "


If the transaction process involves buying and selling artists’ itinerary or crew information, it is an illegal act that infringes on privacy and personal information, and the buyer and seller constitute joint infringement. If the circumstances are serious, it may constitute a crime of infringing citizens’ personal information and be investigated for criminal responsibility.



As for some surrogates, they will take advantage of the loopholes and choose to shoot in public areas, so as to escape the accusation or relevant legal responsibilities of the party being filmed.


In this regard, lawyer Wang Yahui said that the public generally believe that public figures should be photographed with higher tolerance than ordinary people, but everyone is equal before the law, so artists or crews have the right to refuse to shoot. If crews know that photographers are making profits on their behalf, they have all the more reason to refuse to shoot. Infringement will not reduce the illegality because of public areas.


"Even if you are not the two parties to the transaction, if you use the photos taken on your behalf to spread on social platforms without permission, and expose the crew information or the artist’s personal information in advance, the communicator will also constitute the artist’s portrait rights, privacy rights and personal information. Or the infringement of the copyright of the film and television works being filmed, the tort should bear civil liability."



In the final analysis, whether from the moral or legal point of view, it is natural to boycott the substitute auction. However, due to the difficulties in obtaining evidence, large investment and small compensation, most of the infringement on behalf of auction may not be properly solved.


How to completely kill the substitute in the cradle, everything has to start from the source. Reducing illegal Reuters browsing may be the first step we can take.


Refuse to film the sale and stay away from illegal activities. Resist the substitute shooting and wait for the official announcement!

  Background and significance
  "Made in China 2025" focuses on the development of steel for advanced manufacturing basic components: breaking through the key technologies of steel materials, design, manufacture and application evaluation for advanced equipment such as high-performance bearings, gears, tool steel, springs and fasteners, and the domestic self-sufficiency rate of key materials for advanced equipment such as high-efficiency and energy-saving motors, high-end engines, high-speed railways, high-end precision machine tools and high-end automobiles will reach 80% in 2020, and strive to be fully self-sufficient in 2025. Therefore, the improvement of fatigue life, production and evaluation of high-quality bearing steel is an important national technical demand for improving the self-sufficiency rate of key components and materials for advanced equipment.
  In recent years, the quality of domestic bearing steel has been greatly improved, and the quality of some bearing steel has reached the international advanced level. But on the whole, improving the quality of bearing steel is still the key link to improve the quality of bearings. At present, the production of bearing steel at home and abroad mainly adopts aluminum deoxidation process. From the perspective of deoxidation mechanism and actual effect, the following problems have occurred while effectively removing dissolved oxygen [O] from molten steel in bearing steel production:
  Ultra-low oxygen control is difficult.
  It is difficult to effectively control Ds inclusions in steel.
  Ti element in molten steel is difficult to control.
  Poor fluidity of molten steel
  Al2O3 and spinel inclusions in steel seriously affect the fatigue life of bearing steel.
  In view of the above problems, Zhongtian Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. and University of Science and Technology Beijing jointly developed the technology of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel, and its main control ideas are as follows:
  Silicon-manganese pre-deoxidation+diffusion deoxidation+vacuum carbon final deoxidation processBecause diffusion deoxidation and vacuum carbon final deoxidation do not produce deoxidation products that pollute molten steel, the cleanliness of molten steel can be effectively improved.
  Non-aluminum deoxidation can effectively reduce the content of Ti and other elements affecting steel properties in molten steel.
  Optimize the composition of refining slag and reduce the content of Ds inclusions in steel.
  Non-aluminum deoxidation process is adopted, which greatly reduces the number of Al2O3 inclusions, improves the fluidity of molten steel, and effectively reduces the number of large particle inclusions.
  The size and shape of inclusions in steel are effectively controlled, and the fatigue life is improved.
  key technology
  1. Low oxygen control technology of bearing steel characterized by non-aluminum combined deoxidation (silicon-manganese pre-deoxidation+diffusion deoxidation+vacuum deoxidation)
  (1) Process route
  The technological process of Zhongtian non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel is shown in Figure 1.
Fig. 1 Production process of Zhongtian non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel
  (2) Pre-oxygen control technology of bearing steel based on silicon-manganese pre-deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation.
  Based on the oxygen control technology of bearing steel in the early stage of silicon-manganese pre-deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation, the dissolved oxygen in steel is about 15-20 ppm and the total oxygen content is reduced to about 20 ppm when LF refining leaves the station. During LF refining, the n content is kept below 30 ppm. Low alkalinity slag refining slag is used in LF process, with Al2O3 content of only 3-5% and alkalinity of 0.9-1.5.
  (3) Deep deoxidation technology of bearing steel based on vacuum carbon-oxygen balance.
  The changes of oxygen and nitrogen contents in RH process are shown in Figure 2. After RH refining, the total oxygen content in steel decreased obviously, and the total oxygen in steel was controlled at 5-9 ppm. N content is kept below 30 ppm during RH refining.
Fig. 2 changes of oxygen and nitrogen content during RH refining in non-aluminum deoxidation process
  Through thermodynamic calculation and experimental study, the carbon-oxygen balance of molten steel under different vacuum degrees is shown in Figure 3. When the vacuum degree is 67Pa, carbon becomes a stronger deoxidizer than aluminum. The changes of oxygen and nitrogen contents in the deoxidization experiment of bearing steel in vacuum furnace are shown in Figure 4, and the total oxygen content can be reduced to below 10 ppm. In industrial production, the total oxygen content in RH steel has been stably controlled at 5-9 ppm. In addition, in order to control the splash phenomenon in the vacuum deoxidation process, a step-by-step pressure drop mode is proposed based on the research results of mathematical model and water model, which effectively reduces the splash.

Fig. 4 Changes of oxygen and nitrogen content in bearing steel deoxidation experiment in vacuum furnace.
  2. Key technologies of inclusion control and fluidity improvement of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel.
  (1) control of low alkalinity CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-MgO quaternary slag system
  The composition of refining slag in non-aluminum deoxidation process is shown in Table 1, respectively. The basicity of LF refining slag is controlled at about 1, and the content of SiO2 is about 30%. In addition, Al2O3 is much lower than that in aluminum deoxidation process.
Table 1 Composition/wt% of refining slag under slagging process of non-aluminum deoxidation process
  As shown in Figure 5, the content of aluminum, titanium and sulfur in non-aluminum deoxidation process steel is 1-8 ppm, 3-8 ppm and 44-76 ppm respectively. (2) The control of key components of molten steel by low alkalinity CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-MgO quaternary slag system.
Fig. 5 Comparison of (a)[Al], (b)[Ti] and (c)[S] contents in steel.
  (3) System adjustment of bearing steel inclusions
  Fig. 6 shows the characteristics of main inclusions in bearing steels with two deoxidation processes. Among the non-aluminum deoxidation bearing steels, the most oxides in the steel are silicates, and most of the inclusions are distributed within the range of less than 10 μm, and the number density of spinel and calcium aluminate inclusions is less than 0.85 /mm2. In aluminum deoxidized bearing steel, the number densities of calcium aluminate, spinel and silicate inclusions are 1.92 /mm2, 1.68 /mm2 and 1.14 /mm2, respectively, and the number of oxides larger than 15 μm is obviously more than that of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel.
Fig. 6 Size distribution of different types of oxides in aluminum deoxidized and non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steels
  (4) Study on the improvement and mechanism of fluidity of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel.
  Non-aluminum deoxidation process has obviously improved the castability of molten steel. As shown in Figure 7, after continuous casting for 14 heats in tundish, the liquid level curve of non-aluminum deoxidation process is stable. Table 2 shows the number of continuous casting furnaces of tundish during continuous casting of billet (160 mm×160 mm) under different processes.
Fig. 7 stopper and liquid level curve after continuous casting for 14 furnaces
Table 2 Comparison of the number of continuous casting furnaces under different processes
  (1) The ultrasonic fatigue evaluation method and rolling fatigue verification of bearing steel are established. 3. Inclusion-induced fatigue fracture mechanism and fracture behavior prediction method of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel.
  In this paper, the ultra-high cycle fatigue test is carried out by using the ultrasonic fatigue test system, and the test frequency reaches 20 kHz, which greatly shortens the test time. A large number of ultra-high cycle fatigue tests have been completed by using this system, and the fatigue life results are consistent with the rolling fatigue test results.
  (2) Behavior and mechanism of fatigue fracture induced by different inclusions.
  The fatigue performance of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel is better than that of Zhongtian aluminum deoxidized bearing steel, and the fracture crack source of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel is less induced by inclusions. The fracture crack sources of aluminum deoxidized bearing steel are all calcium aluminate. In addition, the results of rolling contact fatigue test (issued by Luozhou) show that non-aluminum deoxidation is the best, followed by aluminum deoxidation.
  (3) Establishment of microstructure fatigue life prediction model.
  In order to deeply study the influence of different inclusions on fatigue life, a microscopic model was established based on the mechanical response behavior of the microstructure, and a multi-scale service performance prediction model was formed through the correlation between statistical principles and macro performance, so as to realize the quantitative prediction of crack source and fatigue life. Spherical calcium aluminate inclusions and silicate inclusions with the same size were introduced into the model, and the prediction results showed that it took longer cycles for silicate to initiate fatigue crack source under the same fatigue stress.
  Project features and major innovations
  "Silicon-manganese pre-deoxidation+diffusion deoxidation+vacuum final deoxidation" non-aluminum combined deoxidation: through vacuum carbon final deoxidation, the total oxygen content in steel is controlled at 5-9ppm, while Ti and other elements in steel are effectively controlled, and the types of inclusions can be effectively controlled;
  Inclusion control and fluidity improvement technology of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel: using low alkalinity Cao-Al2O3-SiO _ 2-MgO quaternary slag system to control the inclusion composition in the low melting point area, Ds inclusions in steel are effectively controlled, which solves the technical problem of poor castability of billet bearing steel nozzle;
  Fatigue fracture mechanism and fracture behavior prediction method of non-aluminum deoxidized bearing steel: With the help of ultrasonic fatigue testing and rolling fatigue detection, the tensile and compressive fatigue life and fracture mechanism of bearing steel were studied, and the microstructure quantitative model of the influence of different inclusions on fatigue performance was established. Based on this model, the influence of main inclusions in bearing steel on fatigue performance was analyzed.
  The technology integration and process innovation of high-quality steel production characterized by vacuum final deoxidation are realized: on the one hand, the types of inclusions in steel can be controlled according to the final use of products; On the other hand, through "vacuum final deoxidation", the main source of inclusions-deoxidation products is eliminated from the source, which is very beneficial to the production of clean steel from the process, provides a new way for the production of high-quality steel, and has a good popularization and application prospect in the production of many high-quality steels!

The president’s thesis of Wuhan University of Technology was exposed to plagiarism and the plagiarism record was deleted.


  Two versions of the CD cover of the proceedings of the Second National Academic Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing. A plagiarized paper by Zhou Zude, president of Wuhan University of Technology, and Xie Ming, a student, was included in the first edition of the paper collection. After plagiarism was detected, the meeting launched the "official edition" and deleted the article. Our reporter Zhang Guoshe


  Wuhan, August 3 rd (Reporter Zhang Guo) When this stolen paper was submitted to the academic circles, the "author" obviously didn’t realize that a time bomb was planted.


  One year later, the reputation of Professor Zhou Zude, the 64-year-old president of Wuhan University of Technology and the candidate of China Academy of Sciences in 2009, is being threatened by it.


  Although its readers are few, among the limited readers, only a few people understand its origin.


  However, the occurrence of plagiarism is indeed blatant.


  truth


  At the second national academic conference on intelligent manufacturing held in Shantou University in December 2008, more than 60 scholars attending the conference received a bag of conference materials. There is a CD-ROM containing 49 conference papers.


  The English paper entitled "Diesel Generator Using Doubly-fed Induction Machine" ranks 30th. The first author is Zhou Zude, president of Wuhan University of Technology, who belongs to the "211 Project", and the other author is Xie Ming, a doctoral student of President Zhou.


  According to the academic practice, the conference has been writing essays for peers for a long time, and submissions will be accepted from March to August. Paper No.30, submitted in August, was quickly accepted and collected in the CD-ROM conference proceedings published by Huazhong University of Science and Technology Electronic Audio-Visual Publishing House before the conference. So far, a new research achievement has been published in the form of a conference paper.


  For Professor Zhou Zude, who has published more than 300 papers in important academic journals and conferences at home and abroad, this only adds new entries to his rich catalogue of works. Among the 49 papers in this meeting, there are 3 under the names of Zhou Zude and Xie Ming.


  However, this paper, which takes mechanical power as the research object, has a much stronger influence on the master and apprentice than predicted.


  Roberto Cardennas, a Chilean scientist on the other side of the globe, asserted to the China Youth Daily reporter: "This is an abridged version of our paper."


  Cadenas is currently a professor at the University of Santiago, Chile, and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the largest multinational academic group. His paper was published in IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion.


  Published in March 2008, this paper, entitled "Wind-Diesel Generator Using Doubly-Fed Induction Machine", was completed by five scientists from Magellan University in Chile, the University of San Diego and the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.


  Five months later, Zhou Zude and Xie Ming submitted similar papers in China. There is only one word difference between the two titles, and "wind-diesel generator" is changed to "diesel generator". In terms of length, the foreign version is more than 12 pages, and the domestic version is less than 5 pages.


  After comparison, Cadenas said that the substantive difference between the two is only the length.


  He pointed out that all the charts in Zhou and Xie’s papers are exactly the same as those in their own papers, and most of them are experimental results obtained in Chilean laboratories. All the equations in Zhou and Xie’s papers are exactly the same as those in their own papers.


  Many paragraphs are the same. "I wrote most of the content with one of my colleagues, and I recognize my writing style." Robert Cadenas said.


  Due to the deletion of the text, Zhou Zude and Xie Ming listed 8 references at the end of the article, which is just the first 8 of the 25 references listed in the original paper.


  Generally speaking, the censors are too careless and urgent, but in the process of "innovation", they sometimes do it carefully.


  For example, in the diagram of wind-diesel power generation system designed by Cardinas et al., the wind energy system with a wind blade is on the right, but in the scaled-down paper, with the disappearance of "wind power", the blade is also gone.


  From the submission in August to the collection in December, the copied papers easily passed the organizing Committee of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Academic Conference.


  expose


  But just before the meeting, it was revealed. The organizing Committee intends to evaluate several excellent papers and recommend them to the journals in the industry. The conference papers are classified as A, B and C, 11 as A and 28 as B.. This paper was originally a class 6. It was not until the teachers and students who participated in the evaluation occasionally searched its title online that the truth came out. The first result that popped up at that time was the original version published by scientists such as Robert Cardenas in IEEE Energy Conversion Transactions.


  The meeting is about to open. One judging expert recalled that "fortunately, it was found out" and it would not shame the conference. The organizing Committee decided to cancel its qualification for awarding prizes. However, due to the publication of the anthology, the paper itself cannot be revoked.


  On December 18th, the conference opened as scheduled. Professor Zhou Zude gave an academic speech at the meeting. When he left the meeting, under the auspices of Xiong Youlun, director of the Intelligent Manufacturing Committee of China Artificial Intelligence Society and academician of China Academy of Sciences, the organizing committee decided to inform the author about the plagiarism of the paper.


  Academician Xiong Youlun, 70, told the China Youth Daily reporter: "Later, for the sake of prudence, the academic Committee handled this matter."


  Li Bin, chairman of the conference and professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Chen Dingfang, member of the academic committee of the conference and professor of Wuhan University of Technology, found Zhou Zude together and raised the issue of plagiarism.


  According to Chen Dingfang’s memory, President Zhou said on the spot that he didn’t close it well and wanted to go back and trace it. But more than half an hour later, Zhou Zude, who was on his way back, told the organizing committee that the paper had been checked by two other professors in our school.


  Why should someone else who has nothing to do with a paper that he cooperates with students check? Zhou Zude did not explain this.


  The three-day academic grand meeting soon closed. The participating scholars returned to Shanghai, Tianjin, Hubei, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Hong Kong, Canada and other places separately. They brought back a collection of essays, but only a few people knew the story that happened around paper 30.


  cover


  Those insiders also avoided talking about it. "I’m driving now, which is inconvenient," someone told reporters on the phone. "I’m driving all day today-I’m on the highway."


  Wu Bo, a professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, who is the secretary-general of the conference, repeatedly stressed that the plagiarized papers of Zhou Zude and Xie Ming were not included in the final edition of the papers.


  Wu Bo said: "Anyway, there is nothing in the final collection of essays. The back is marked as the official version, and the front is just for the convenience of the meeting."


  The officially published conference proceedings actually have a "formal edition", which is exactly what puzzles the participants. A scholar recalled that he received a copy at the time of registration and sent another copy after the closing ceremony. People were very strange about this rare situation. After asking, I realized that there was something wrong with Zhou Zude’s paper. At first glance, he thought the quality of this paper was quite high, but he didn’t expect it to be "imported".


  The reporter found two CDs with the same publication number, both of which were printed with "The Second National Academic Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing". The difference is that the words "Essays (Official Edition)" are added to a CD.


  The "official edition" not only lost its plagiarism, but also the other two papers by Zhou Zude and Xie Ming disappeared. The number of papers received was reduced from 49 to 28. A person in charge explained that this was the result of plagiarism, and other papers "accompanied" disappeared to prevent plagiarism from appearing abrupt.


  But a detail makes it hard to avoid a sense of suddenness. The number of "official edition" papers still follows the original order. Paper No.5 became the first article in the new collection, as if to remind people that papers No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4 did exist. Papers No.28, No.29 and No.30 by Zhou Zude disappeared without a trace.


  One scholar believes that this practice is not clever. Even if plagiarized papers can be deleted from the collection, how can plagiarism records in academic career be deleted? On the other hand, it is unfair to those who accompany the deletion.


  In any case, the reputation of plagiarists was temporarily preserved until July 2009. During this period, Zhou Zude entered the ranks of effective candidates for China scientists’ highest academic honor-Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences’ co-election in 2009. Xie Ming also passed the examination of academic degree evaluation committee of Wuhan University of Technology on June 24th. If there is no objection within the three-month publicity period, he will be awarded a doctorate.


  Xie Ming said that due to this disgraceful record, the process of getting his doctorate met with resistance. He should have graduated before the spring of 2009.


  The young man’s life plan has also been rewritten. He had decided to stay in school to teach, but after the plagiarism incident, his stay in school ran aground.


  "Because of this, I was also punished." Xie Ming, who has just left the school gate, is somewhat depressed. Things could have been forgotten.


  Until the end of July 2009, our reporter received an e-mail to report Zhou Zude and Xie Ming’s plagiarism.


  Xie Ming responded that this paper was not published publicly. I contributed 3 articles at that time, and all of them received the employment notice. However, when looking for a tutor to apply for the publication fee, finalize the paper and determine the author, his paper failed to pass the examination and he did not pay the registration fee for the meeting, which should be regarded as giving up publication automatically.


  He also said that on the day of the meeting, he formally submitted an application for retraction.


  However, some organizers of the conference did not agree with this argument, because the organizing Committee informed that the paper was plagiarized first and applied for retraction later, and the proceedings of the conference had already been published. The organizer will not cancel the received papers because there is no registration fee. The registration fee is charged to the participants, and Xie Ming did not attend. Moreover, "who would have thought that the principal would default and cancel his thesis?"


  Xie Ming believes that things have been "maliciously hyped" by "people with ulterior motives" in the past year, which has deeply hurt Zhou Zude. "Here, I deeply apologize, and I will use my life-long efforts to make my tutor and Wuhan University of Technology proud of me."


  One scholar pointed out that Zhou Zude should not feel "hurt". As the first author and the mentor of the second author, even if he is "named" this time, it is difficult to shirk his responsibility. Zhou Zude is almost always the first author in the papers co-authored by them.


  Another scholar said: "it is one thing to publish, but it is another to copy."


  In distant Chile, before being interviewed by China Youth Daily, the real owner of this wind-diesel generator, Professor Robert Cadenas, was still in the dark. For a year, no one has ever told them what happened to this paper in China.


  The plagiarist said that the tutor, President Wuhan Institute of Technology, didn’t know beforehand.


  China Youth Daily: I saw two editions of essays about the second national academic conference on intelligent manufacturing. One has your paper and the other doesn’t.


  Xie Ming: That’s not the official version. As you can see, in the preface of the official edition, it is said that after the evaluation of the organizing Committee, 28 papers were selected for the official edition.


  I don’t know if you have participated in international conferences. The convention of international conferences is that you have to pay the registration fee. I don’t pay the registration fee, which first shows that I have given up the right to make any announcement or discuss anything at this meeting, which in fact constitutes the withdrawal of the manuscript. And on the day of the meeting, about December 19th, a statement was officially issued by email. You can ask the secretary-general of the organizing Committee of the conference about this matter.


  China Youth Daily: Why didn’t you withdraw the manuscript in advance?


  Xie Ming: One is that we didn’t pay the registration fee, which in itself indicates that we don’t intend to publish. The second is to withdraw the manuscript on the same day, which we think is a very formal practice.


  China Youth Daily: That paper really abbreviated a foreign paper, didn’t it?


  Xie Ming: This paper is an excerpt. All papers have a revision time, and there is a process for submission, which allows intermediate revisions, including modifying the names of the first author and the second author.


  After receiving the employment notice, there was an audit within our research group. As a result, at this time, the audit was not passed, and the registration fee was not paid-all other papers we published were subject to registration fee. I sent the paper to Mr. Zhou, and he organized a research group to review it, but it was not approved.


  China Youth Daily: Did President Zhou criticize you?


  Xie Ming: He criticized me severely, so even the other two articles were not allowed to be published as a lesson and a punishment for me.


  China Youth Daily: In other words, Mr. Zhou was unaware of your submission?


  Xie Ming: During the period from submitting the manuscript to receiving the employment notice, Mr. Zhou didn’t know. Because we often contribute widely, if we are hired, we will submit it to the research group for review to see if we need to pay the registration fee.


  After the notice of inclusion, I sent three papers to my teacher and asked him to review them. At this time, a decision was made not to pay the registration fee. The draft submitted in August may be reviewed in September. The conference also requested the word document format, and we did not submit it. In addition, on the day of the meeting, we officially issued an application for retraction.


  China Youth Daily: You listed Mr. Zhou as the first author, but he didn’t know it himself, did he?


  Xie Ming: Yes, he didn’t know it before.


  China Youth Daily: Then why did you list him as the first author?


  Xie Ming: In our school, if the tutor is the first author, the student (even if the signature is lower) can also be regarded as the first author, and the qualification of the student as the first author is recognized.


  China Youth Daily: However, Mr. Zhou didn’t participate in this work!


  Xie Ming: No, no, no, you are mistaken. President Zhou, he must be involved in this work. He came to guide me in this work, but when publishing papers, we have such a convention: I will write the papers, and I will definitely put the teachers who guide me in the first place. He didn’t know when I sent the paper, but he did know when I reviewed it.


  My teacher finished what he should do, that is, guide me to write my thesis, but he didn’t know when it was sent out, because there were so many conference papers, but when it was finally published, he had to conduct strict examination. We all have a mechanism.


  China Youth Daily: But there is nothing original in your paper, so it is impossible to talk about his guidance.


  Xie Ming: I can’t discuss this with you in detail. What is our specific research work? Now I won’t talk to you about it.


  I think you know this fact very well. I think you should know what role my tutor played in it. If you want to report on this matter, I hope you can restore it fairly.
