Comeback [entertainment]

Qin Huo's voice appeared on the phone call to Yuanshang early in the morning. This fantastic experience made Sun Hanqing feel dazed for a while.

He glanced at the time, it was exactly 09:30 in the morning, on the dividing line between ambiguous and serious.

But because he was so angry, Sun Hanqing drove away the strange thought the moment it flashed in his mind.Qin Huo's questioning voice on the phone was full of power and influence. Having a boss who is not angry and arrogant, while making employees fearful, the biggest advantage is that it can give people the confidence to solve problems.

The plagiarism incident just broke out in the morning, and the initiator was a fan group of Yuanshang. The song that was plagiarized was the most popular song "Chasing" by Yuanshang so far.

The person who plagiarized "Chasing" also had a background. It was Tang Min, who was praised by Mingcheng Film and Television recently. Zhongqi has aroused criticism from many Yuanshang fans.There is no other reason. The melody of this song sounds really subtle. The tone of the whole song is exactly the same as the brisk and energetic rhythm of "Chasing". The theme and atmosphere of the song are also surprisingly similar. Even the prelude is like "Chasing ", I added a solo instrument, although the cello is used instead of the violin, and the tune sounds a little different, but it just gives people an uncomfortable sense of similarity.

However, Mingcheng Film and Television has always been willing to invest in marketing. Tang Min is an old singer, and the quality of the new songs released this time is not bad. At the beginning, there was no evidence, not even a splash.

But don't underestimate the determination of fans to protect their idols. Some fans in the fan circle who are more familiar with music immediately organized an unofficial investigation team to analyze "Flying Wings" and "Chasing" after they noticed something was wrong. Those amazing similarities between the two songs, when checking the arrangement, finally made a big discovery, there is a bass line that runs through the whole song in the background sound of "Flying Wings" and is not the main character, except for a slightly raised Another adjustment, the curve direction is exactly the same as "Chasing"!

Exactly the same, what does it mean?

You can play according to the same score!This is not an ancient song that can be used casually as a material whose copyright owner has passed away. When "Chasing" came out, it was clearly mentioned in the promotion that the accompaniment and arrangement of this song came from the original composition. The skill of "originality" is the biggest pride of Yuanshang's fans besides his face, and since "Chasing" came out, it has become popular both at home and abroad, and no voice has ever questioned the truth of this "originality" Sex, since this is Yuanshang's "original", what does it mean that Tang Min put it in his own song, and it is so arrogant that it has not been modified?

The fan group exploded immediately, and countless people who were still waiting and watching all left the stage one after another. Everyone worked while the iron was hot, and stayed up all night. After the bass line, they discovered more suspicious points one after another.

The harmony similarity of the chorus part exceeds 70.00%, and there is a 12-second piece of music in the middle that seems to come from the same song.The guitar solo at the end of the song is not like "Chasing", it is copied from an old rock song by an overseas singer, the melody is almost the same, it is also original!

This is so fucking disgusting. Fans pinched their noses and sorted out the evidence. They were so angry that they were in a state of mania. They posted it on Weibo at [-] o'clock this morning, and Aite posted the original promotional Weibo.

Sun Hanqing has been busy with Yuanshang's work recently, so he doesn't have much time to listen to the new songs on the market. He only knows that "Spreading Wings and High" is very popular recently, and the impression is deepened because Yuanshang asked him to repost the promotion yesterday.When I saw that @ in the morning, I was like a fly stuffed with its mouth full. I clicked on "Spread Wings and High" and listened to it. Because I had doubts in my heart, I immediately realized something was wrong.

This song is really good at first glance, with a brisk and catchy melody, but he listened to "Chasing" nearly a hundred times when he was making the album before, and he couldn't see that the gap between the two songs could not be called "Coincidental" artistic collision?

It was still early, that Weibo had just been posted, and it was only circulated in the fan circle for the time being, and it didn't attract much attention from the outside world.If you are more serious, you will definitely have a dispute with Mingcheng Film and Television. The other party is Tang Min, a singer with a deeper background than Yuanshang. Sun Han has seen the marketing methods of Mingcheng early in the morning. Advocate, call and ask.

Qin Huo turned on the loudspeaker, and Yuanshang understood when Sun Hanqing was talking, but felt that the arm around his waist was getting tighter and tighter. When he turned his head, Qin Huo's face was covered with Growing anger.

He was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, but was immediately dispelled by the other party's exaggerated reaction.

Soothing and stroking Qin Huo's arm, the other party was unmoved, with a gloomy expression of "I'm very upset now, you don't want to mess with me", and said coldly to Sun Han on the other end of the phone: "I see, Just don't act rashly."

When he heard "Flying Wings" in the car yesterday, he felt a little weird in his heart. He didn't care much at the time, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it because of the similarity in the melody?He should be one of the earliest fans on the original. The song "Chasing" was the one with the highest circulation rate in his leisure playlist when it was only a single. He listened to it hundreds of times, if not a thousand times. , follow the rhythm and even memorize the lyrics backwards, he never said it, it doesn't mean that this song doesn't mean a lot to him!

He hung up the phone and immediately contacted the company's music department. The music department also expressed that it could not tolerate it and would immediately set up a special team to check.

Yuanshang was held in a somewhat uncomfortable position. Seeing that Qin Huo didn't let go, he simply sat across his lap, listening to his voice urging the person on the phone to hurry up, watching the blue veins popping out of his forehead until he fell asleep. After finishing the phone call, Qin Huo hugged him tightly and buried his head deeply in his neck——

"I'm furious."

He was really pissed off, especially in such a beautiful morning, when he was supposed to kiss Yuanshang intimately in the morning light, but got such disgusting news.

The Chinese music circle is in constant chaos, and plagiarism incidents occur frequently. He has heard of hundreds of them alone. Seriously speaking, this is not a big news.But the things that have been used to for a long time happened to Yuan Shang, and the nature immediately became different.It felt like being ridden on the neck by a flamboyant bum at the intersection. Qin Huo wished he could grab the opponent's neck and stand on the 120th floor of a high-rise building and lift the opponent out of the window for dangling.

Suddenly a majestic cry sounded outside the door, and the door was knocked twice, interrupting the silence in the room.Yuanshang and Qin Huo looked at each other, diverted their attention from the brief bad news just now, and focused on the wall clock on the wall.

Two people: "..."

It's ten o'clock!

Yuanshang groped behind him, and found a pair of slacks that were as wrinkled as pickled vegetables. They had been rolled up on the bed all night, and there were puddles of unknown liquid that had dried up on them.Qin Huo, who was only wearing shorts, fell into a long silence. Last night, he went downstairs in a flash of excitement. He never thought of bringing a change of clothes. At this o'clock, the two aunts must have woken up. How should he go out? ?How to go back?

For things like cheating, enjoy the sweet and exciting process of "stealing". After stealing...

The smell of breakfast filled the room, Qin Huo put on the pickles, opened the door lightly with his bare feet, the prestige who came to play with his father early in the morning stuck his tongue out and saw him, the silly dog's face was obviously a little more dazed .

prestige:"???"

Facing those baby-like clear eyes, Yuanshang felt a little embarrassed, quickly pulled it into the room with his majestic head, and motioned to Qin Huo, "Now is the time!"

The absence of the two aunts in the living room was indeed a good opportunity. Qin Huo tiptoed out, only to feel that his current painting style had become strange for no reason.After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back again, the door was still open, and Yuanshang squatted inside holding his majestic long beak, probably thinking that his current state was too funny, with a gloating expression on his face.

Qin Huo suddenly couldn't find the feeling of being angry just now again, as if Yuanshang always had the ability to easily resolve his unhappiness.

It was the first time in Qin Huo's life to be so sneaky in his own home. He was not used to it, but psychologically he had the pleasure of being strongly stimulated.As if two close people were sharing a little secret that no one knew, when they reached the second floor, Aunt You’s voice calling Weifeng to eat canned food came from the living room, as if avoiding his parents, Qin Huo hurriedly quickened his pace, closed the door and , and the heartbeat was slightly faster than usual.

With his back against the door, he turned on the light in the room, looked up and recalled the experience of last night and just now, it was as novel as a wonderful dream.

Aunt You seemed to have heard the sound of the door closing, and looked up to the second floor, but found nothing.She secretly thought that she might have heard it wrong, and looked at Yuanshang who was playing with Weifeng, and was a little surprised: "Aren't you busy today? Haven't gone to the company after ten o'clock?"

The imposing collar was pulled by Yuan Shang, and he raised his head and barked at Aunt You, as if he wanted to tell her some shocking secret.

But Aunt You, who couldn't understand, patted her head lightly: "Don't bark if you are obedient, and if you bark again, you won't be able to eat canned food today!"

The prestige was extremely aggrieved, and the lonely hind legs jumped up and down anxiously, and finally had to lie on the ground and hum.There is obviously a strange smell in Dad's house.

When Qin Huo appeared, Aunt You looked even more surprised. What day is it today, and the two young people who usually go out early in the family have slept until now?

In this short period of time, the reply from the company's music department has arrived. There is indeed a problem with the arrangement of "Flying Wings", and it is still a big problem, just because the song appeared for too short a time and it was not produced by Sihai Group , they never found out.

After the suit and leather shoes, the other party returned to his usual serious appearance. He sat on the shoe stool and put on his shoes. He looked up at his serious movements of adorning his tie in front of the exit mirror. The calm and majestic temperament was everywhere in the other party. Emanate freely, if there is substance.

Who buried his head in his belly in the morning?

Looking at the sharp jaw line, Yuanshang felt itchy unbearably. He glanced away, and saw that Aunt You was not there, and Aunt Sun was tidying the sofa, with her head bowed and her back turned to this side.

Standing up and leaning forward to kiss, Qin Huo caught him off guard and subconsciously hugged him, and exchanged an intimate and long kiss with him smoothly.

The short contact made the two of them feel hot all over. He let go of Yuanshang, the cold expression on his face had not yet faded, and his eyes were a little blank.

Yuanshang licked his lips eagerly, and gave him a smirk. Taking advantage of the kiss just now, he squeezed Qin Huo's ass hard, and he finally recovered from the place where he was pressed and beaten last night.

There was a murmur at the feet, and the two people who were looking at each other lowered their heads. Wei Feng came out of nowhere and looked up at them innocently.

"..." The two adults who played the sneaking game felt guilty at the same time, and opened three cans for it before leaving.

*******

As good as life is, work is as bad as it gets.

By comparing the soundtracks, the plagiarism of "Chasing" by "Flying Wings and High" has been well-documented, and the fans are outraged. The matter has fermented from morning to noon, and a small-scale riot has already been set off.

On Weibo, many people who heard about this incident and Yuanshang fans came forward to condemn him. Tang Min felt guilty after being scolded, and went to the famous city early to find Song Tian.

Song Tian saw him fidgeting, and the smile on his face was mocking: "As for it? It's just such a little thing."

Tang Min turned over the screen of his mobile phone, his eyes flicked over the words of disappointment or accusation in the comments, and finally quit, looking at the Weibo that Yuanshang reposted his new song promotion yesterday.The sincere recommendations in the forwarded text were like countless thin needles, which made his eyes ache and his conscience was uneasy. Tang Min whispered: "How can this be a trivial matter, in case they hold them accountable..."

"I beg you to be more courageous, okay!? What are you afraid of? Is the album not popular? Is it not making a lot of money? Haven't you become taller when you appear on the scene?" Song Tian shook his cigar, his face full of hatred, "How can they be held accountable? At most, it's just cursing and cursing on the Internet. If you copy some soundtrack, are you still worried that you will be sued by the world?"

Tang Min was a little confused by the welcome he received after becoming popular for the second time recently, but he has been honest all his life, and he still cherishes his feathers after all: "But this is plagiarism after all, and more people know about it, and my image will not be good at that time." At once……"

"Don't be afraid of this and that. You don't want your children to be caught by wolves, do you know? Copy or not, who cares about that these days?" Song Tian sneered, "It's important to hurry up and take advantage of the popularity of this shareholder, you If it’s popular and has a work, the audience doesn’t care if you copy it or not, as long as it sounds good.”

Seeing Tang Min's expression of hesitation, he turned solemn, frowned, sat up straight and pointed, "I tell you, don't act like you are outside, don't respond casually, when someone asks this question, just deny it, you know?" ? When the heat of this matter passes, no one will care about this topic anymore!"

Tang Min's manager stayed in the office to watch him leave. Although he didn't show it on the face, he was still a little worried: "Dong Song, what if..."

"What's in case? Where are there so many in case?" Song Tian was most annoyed by the ink marks of his subordinates, and he didn't bother to listen to the words, "Who doesn't carry two negative news these days? It doesn't affect your money. , What’s the big deal about being scolded a few times? It’s fine if you don’t admit it!?”

******

The four words of never admitting it are really omnipotent.Soon after Sun Hanqing reposted the well-documented Weibo, Mingcheng Film and Television issued an announcement, insinuating that its singers were accused of unwarranted charges, and that the company would reserve the right to prove Qingyu through judicial means.

This is really shameless to the extreme, Yuanshang's fans were immediately irritated, but many deceitful people turned a blind eye to the evidence, and even made cynicism in the statement——

"There are a lot of plagiarized works in the world, and they plagiarize at every turn, so why don't you write lyrics in Chinese characters at all."

"Where does it look like? It's completely different, okay?"

""Chasing" is very good, and "Spread Your Wings" is also very good, please don't recruit fans of Yuanshang."

"I love "Flying Wings" more, come on!"

"Although it's a bit similar, it's fine if it sounds good. Is it important to copy or not?"

"You guys are purely jealous! Black for black's sake! You copy what you say? Is there any evidence?"

Sun Hanqing almost couldn't get up in one breath, and looked at Yuanshang who was basking in the sun: "Why don't you seem to be responding?"

Yuan Shang heard that he closed his eyes and smiled, he was not angry, but he was more disappointed than angry.

With the intervention of Mingcheng Film and Television, the plagiarism incident quickly escalated from a dispute between two singers to a confrontation between the company and the company. The change in nature made many stakeholders who had nothing to do with the matter dare not easily stand up.Many singers under Mingcheng reposted the company's Weibo indiscriminately to express their support, and their fans also showed ambiguous attitudes towards this. To them, "Chasing" is just a song, whether it is copied or not. How serious can it be to be copied?

It's not that people who didn't pay attention to this matter came forward to condemn, it's just that these voices' denial of Shangmingcheng's tenacious denial, in the end, it was like hitting the cotton with a fist.People just don't admit it, what can you do?No matter how much evidence is posted, a sentence of "incomprehensible", "not authoritative" or "jealous" and "hype" can dispel all the efforts of the collectors.

The Four Seas Group came forward and directly contacted Mingcheng Film and Television, and the other party also acted confidently, as if they were certain that Yuanshang would not have the energy to keep haggling with them over a song.

The situation fell into a stalemate, and the condemnation did not achieve the slightest effect. It neither affected Tang Min's increasing activities, nor did it shake the position of "Flying Wings and High" on the list.This song was played in the streets and alleys, and he signed up for music festivals everywhere. The rascal look who didn't care about the outside world's comments, on the contrary, made Yuanshang's fan group get pissed off every time they turned to the news.

Wu Xiaoyue got involved in this matter for several days, squatting on the side of the camera and scrolling through Weibo, seeing Tang Min sang this song again on a variety show, he was so angry that he directly reposted him on Weibo and denounced: "The world is going down, for I don’t respect you, plagiarizing works is still so grandiose, where is your character as an old artist?!”

He is a bit famous now, and he also has a V on Weibo. Tang Min's fans flocked to the comments and cursed at the first sight——

"none of your business!"

"A little artist who sang some songs in the audition dares to be certified as a "singer". Even if you are jealous, you will never reach Tang Min's achievements in your life anyway!"

"Are the newbies already so unscrupulous in order to fight for the position?"

"Yuan Shang is your father? Are you Yuan Shang's dog? Barking for him non-stop!"

"Where is the evidence of plagiarism? If you say plagiarism, you plagiarize? I said you are a dog, are you a dog?"

"Your whole family is blown up! Go out and watch the car carefully!"

Tang Min's fans scolded unsightly, and even Wu Xiaoyue's own fans left messages to persuade——

"It's just a song. As long as it sounds good, it doesn't matter who sings it. Brother Yue, let's not go into this muddy water."

"What you said is a bit too much, delete it quickly, it's none of your business anyway."

"Emotional intelligence is too low, it will offend people!"

Wu Xiaoyue recalled that when Yuanshang participated in the Consentinadi Music Festival and was so moved in front of the TV, the rebellious energy in his heart came up all at once. He just didn't delete it. The condemnation was at the top, and then several Weibo posts were posted to condemn Tang Min and Mingcheng Film and Television without a limit.He knew he had a low EQ, but so what?I can't stand the things I don't like, because I'm afraid of offending people, and I don't want to speak out for justice. Will there be any reason to speak in this world in the future?

When he condemned, some of his friends from Aite's production team turned a blind eye to it, but there were still two little-known artists who silently retweeted his Weibo.

Because of the plagiarism incident, many fans have been pinching their heads in recent days. Famous directors and actors such as Yu Shuimiao and Guo Miaochun have been ridiculed a lot. Wu Xiaoyue is almost the first silent big voice to speak out. Most of them are more topical than those who are really unknown, and easier to bully than those with high positions and weights. His appearance naturally became the focus of attention.Tang Min's fans really hated him, wishing to choke his whole family to death through the network cable, but Yuanshang's fans all stood on the same front with him, aspiring to resist the opponent together.

Wu Xiaoyue has a venomous tongue and strong fighting power. His arrogance is one against ten thousand, and he comes and goes, but he has a lot of presence. Yuan Shang casually swipes Weibo, and the home page pops up the news that he has been reposted countless times——

[Wu Xiaoyue V: Do you want to throw out the picture with the same bass line and hit you in the face?coincide?are you crazy! ! 】Yuan Shang looked at the word "psychopathy", and couldn't help but think of the other party's wide-eyed and flushed cheeks with anger. Some of the onlookers obviously didn't take it seriously. Some reminded Wu Xiaoyue to be careful of the court summons from Famous City Film and Television, some questioned that he was using this matter to fight for his position, and even Tang Min's fans pretended to be deaf and dumb, facing Wu Xiaoyue The questioning refused to admit it.

It has been many days, and Tang Min and Mingcheng Film and Television have no signs of resolving this matter at all.

Tang Min accepted the announcement and the itinerary. He even announced two days ago that he had sold "Flying Wings" to a TV series for the ending song.

The plagiarism scandal didn't affect his work and life at all, and the partners didn't seem to mind it at all. Sun Hanqing's condemnation of Weibo was still posted on the Weibo homepage, but it was like a private carnival among fans , out of this small range, the opponent cannot be punished in the slightest.

This kind of reality is really terrible, Yuanshang even once wondered if he, who couldn't accept this matter, was a different kind.

The strong tolerance shown by most of the audience on this matter even terrified him, and another part of the resonance aroused by the fans' passionate denunciation was as small as ants in front of market interests.

Qin Huo is different from him. Qin Huo has never had confidence in the morality of this market. After negotiating with Famous City Film and Television to no avail, he no longer spends time on the Internet and public opinion, and instead focuses on communicating with the legal department. communication.According to his words, just relying on condemnation, not to mention the attitude of most people not taking it seriously, even if you control the direction and create the illusion that the whole world is one-sidedly cursing Tang Min, apart from being accused a few words , the other party still does not hurt or itch.

In today's Chinese entertainment industry, the weight of the word plagiarism is probably not as heavy as the lace scandals of celebrities.

The only thing that can make the other party pay the price is the judicial process that is bothersome to any individual or group.

A lawsuit for a song being plagiarized is not in line with the normal company's business philosophy of maximizing profits.

But this time, Qin Huo didn't want to let the other party go.

When the appeal announcement was posted on the company's publicity window, Yuanshang glanced at it. Comments on Wu Xiaoyue's dynamics were still rising, but the ranking of hot topics was not even comparable to the selfies of the first few celebrities.

There was a ding sound in the computer, and an email notification popped up in the lower right corner. He sighed, clicked on it, and glanced at the sender, a large row of English letters.

spell it out and say christif barlow

There is a faint impression in my mind, but it is not very clear.

Open the email, and the attachment inside is a letter of intent.The title of the letter of intent reads "Consultation Draft [-] for Intercontinental Music Production Cooperation", and under that, in the Party A column, a row of inconspicuous and shocking names are filled——

Barlow Music Productions

Barlow!

Barlow at the Vinyl Ball!

In an instant, Yuanshang recalled clearly the exhausting lobbying process he spent among the major producers that night. He flipped through the pages, and the short greeting from the other party was indeed at the bottom——

"Life needs to be tried, love you Barlow."
