The recurring newspaper prop

'龍套'報紙穿越19年(圖)

A netizen uploaded a group of video snapshots in a forum showing a newspaper that has been used in every American TV show or movie whenever a character is reading one, the Modern Express reported Wednesday. According to the netizen, the newspaper was first shown in a 1991 TV show, and latest shown in a 2010 show. The paper has played its role for at least 19 years. Some netizens explained that for copyright reasons, film crews use the same newspaper prop instead of real newspapers.

據《現代快報》9日報道，一網友近日在某論壇上傳了一組美劇截圖，截圖中都出現了同一張報紙的"倩影"。據發帖者描述，這些美劇最早拍攝于1991年，最晚拍攝于2010年，也就是說，這份"龍套報紙"至少已"穿越"了19年之久。有網友解釋，這其實是一份道具報紙，因為用真正的報紙會有版權問題。
