Hong Kong actor Michael Tse recently dispelled rumours of plagiarism concerning his new TVB series.
As reported on Wenweipo website, previously, his new series, "Sniper Standoff" has been the subject of scrutiny in online forums, with netizens claiming that the series is a copycat of the late Leslie Cheung movie, "Double Tap", based on the similarities between the series' promotional poster and trailers with the 2000 film.
The actor, who attended the interview on Commercial Radio with Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan and the rest of the original "Young And Dangerous" cast on 28 August, dismissed allegations of plagiarism, and said that most posters and trailers with guns look similar to one another.
Michael stated, "Don't just judge the series by its poster and trailer. You can make up your mind about it after actually watching it."
When asked if the accusations of plagiarism upset him, the actor shook his head and said, "It's a good thing to be talked about. It also means that people still remember Leslie's movies."
Michael also admitted to having watched the movie, but did not refer to it for research while filming "Sniper Standoff". He also assured that the series and movie are completely different.
