Chapter 19 A worse era (please collect and recommend~)
"This Cui Jinghui has a really bad attitude." The Xinran band had not even come on stage to perform, and the audience was eagerly discussing what had just happened.
A companion next to him shrugged and said, "What can be done about this? There are so many stupid fans, and how many great celebrities are so arrogant under the connivance of Chinese fans."
"No, this is too annoying! After watching the performance of Xinran Band, I will not vote for Ritian Band."
"Me too……"
Because of Cui Jinghui's behavior, some classmates were disgusted, but Cui Jinghui's fans believed that Cui Jinghui had personality and true temperament, and firmly supported Jinghui Gege.
At the same time, die-hard fans are also dissatisfied with Professor Sun, even though he is a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
Of course, there are only a minority of people with these two ideas. Most people just watch the show with an indifferent attitude. Hallyu is not a good thing. Is it true that the Chinese music scene is so powerful?
Since the 1990s, the music scene, including domestic entertainment, has been getting worse year by year. Especially after entering the second decade of the 21st century, this bad attitude has become more obvious.
Capital is trying to make money, celebrities and idols create characters and then collapse, plus the invasion of entertainment culture from Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, it is no exaggeration to say that this era is the gloomiest time in the current entertainment industry.
In such an environment, ordinary viewers and netizens can do nothing but curse. The Chinese music scene, and even the mainland entertainment industry, need a savior to dispel this dark night.
Li He stood behind the stage, preparing to lead the Xinran band on stage. Fan Nuoxuan cheered on the side: "Come on, I believe you can win the game."
"Uncle Fan, how about we make a bet?" Li He suggested.
Fan Nuoxuan was stunned. At this time, do you still want to bet? After thinking that it might be Li He's way to relax his nervousness, he agreed: "Okay, what do you want to bet on?"
"Well... let's just bet on this competition. I bet that I can win. Just bet on a cup of milk tea." Li He said with a smile.
"Tiantian milk tea, drink it to death, forget it." Fan Nuoxuan rolled her eyes at Li He, but agreed: "OK, you win, I will buy everyone a cup of milk tea."
"Everyone, please hear me. This is a rare opportunity to make Miss Fan bleed. You must seize it." Li He said to the four girls in the band with a smile.
"Okay, I want to use all my strength, Xuanxuan, and I want to drink Naixue's tea." Chu Chu was the most active and jumped out immediately to say.
"I want to drink it too, the most expensive one." Xia Xia also echoed.
Zi Zixin smiled and said: "I like their pastries, Xuanxuan, remember to buy them!"
After such a joke, everyone's nervous mood relaxed a lot. Fan Nuoxuan looked at Li He and had to admire Li He's way of soothing his mood, so they all agreed: "Okay, no problem, I won the game.
I'm paying the bill tonight."
"Thank you Mr. Fan..."
"Master Fan will pay for tonight's consumption..."
If you win the game, there will be milk tea to drink, and there will be a celebration banquet. As for losing, naturally no one is in the mood to drink milk tea.
Finally, under the spotlight, the Xinran band appeared on the stage. As soon as they appeared on the stage, they aroused huge cheers and applause from the students in the audience. The momentum was not even weaker than that of the Ritian band just now.
It happened to be dark, and the light shone down and fell on Li He's body, as if he was wearing a halo, making people look up.
The five brothers in the dormitory sighed: "Damn, this effect is a bit great. I feel like God is personally visiting."
"What God? It's obviously me, Buddha Tathagata."
"Shit, it's obviously the Jade Emperor..."
"I said it was God Haotian, you illiterate people..."
A small accident happened to the Ritian band, which cast a shadow over the championship, but the game was still worth watching. Cui Jinghui excused himself from feeling unwell and returned to the hotel first.
Huang Hao snorted coldly, "Why don't you feel well? Why don't you rush to bed? The ancestral skill of stick stars: fuck fans!"
The Xinran Band adjusted the performance equipment and then began to introduce themselves, starting with Li Hyuk: "Hello everyone, I am Li Hyuk, the lead singer of the Xinran Band."
"I am Ye Zixin, the lead guitarist."
"Keyboard player Ye Yeran."
"Bass player Chu Chu."
"Drummer Xia Xia."
Li Hyuk continued: "This time we bring the latest original song "Tenderness", I hope everyone likes it."
Many students in the audience who did not understand the campus singing competition and did not understand Li Hyuk were stunned. Is it too risky to use original works on this stage?
But students who know Li Hyuk are looking forward to it. In previous competitions, Li Hyuk has shown his strong ability to arrange. A golden song full of the sense of the times is like a new song when he arranges it in his hands.
The most important thing is that these adaptations are often very nice and are not made up. Such adaptations are not only recognized and loved by the students, but also praised many times by the judges.
Li Hyuk is also well-known for his account on Bilibili. The original rap song "Bullfighting" he released has been played more than 500,000 times. Many students who like rap hope that Li Hyuk will continue to bring rap works.
But it seems that rap works are not suitable for band performances...
Speaking of "Bullfighting", since it became popular on Station B, the playback volume of the audio version released by Li He on QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music has gradually increased. The total playback volume on the two platforms is more than 300,000, which is considered a small-scale hit.
A handful.
Both Qyin and NetEase Cloud have contacted Li Hyuk, intending to obtain the exclusive copyright of "Bullfighting", then promote it, and invite Li Hyuk to become a signed singer.
However, Li Hyuk declined. This song "Bullfighting" was released for free and can be listened to for free on any platform.
At the same time, a cover version of the 1977 and 1978 editions also appeared on the Internet, which was said to be a cover. However, as the copyright holder and the original author, Li Hyuk did not receive any request for genuine authorization at all.
But the cover appeared so openly, and Li Hyuk also had a toothache, which was already considered an infringement. But such a copyright lawsuit often takes a long time. By the time the lawsuit is over, "Bullfighting" has already passed the most popular
It’s time, there is no benefit in wasting time and effort.
Fan Noxuan was very angry and specially helped Li He find a lawyer to draft a lawyer's letter, reserving the right to pursue a lawsuit. In this case, she could only retain the right. At least the cover version also indicated who the original singer was.
Q Yin and NetEase Cloud, as the two largest music platforms in China, have covered most of the audience, and they also own the largest number of copyrights.
If Li Hyuk had released it alone on Qin or NetEase Cloud, by the time "Bullfighting" became popular, there would have been more than a dozen versions of "Bullfighting" with the original label on the other platforms.
This is one of the biggest cancerous behaviors in the Chinese music scene. Due to the song cleaning process caused by copyright issues, the original author's lyrics and music were simply adapted and released under his own fake stage name.
The water here is very deep, there are many routines, and many high-quality original creators and music have been destroyed in this environment.
The original creator cannot receive any income from his creation, but the counterfeit original that washes and plagiarizes the songs can earn a lot of profits. How can it not be disappointing? In such an environment, who can still produce high-quality originals with peace of mind? It is strange that the Chinese music scene is not bad.
When Fan Noxuan defended Li He's rights, she also argued with fans of cover singers. Some of the fans' comments made Fan Noxuan so angry that her mouth was filled with smoke.
"Aren't your original works popular because of your cover songs, and you still have the nerve to protect your rights?"
"As long as it sounds good, it doesn't matter whether it's plagiarized or not. Anyway, I'm just listening to the music."
Fan Nuoxuan was so angry when she saw this sentence at the time, but Li He was very calm. He had seen similar things too many times. The old fan next door and the congee flower all made their careers by covering songs, washing songs, and plagiarizing them.
However, have they ever considered that whether they are writing lyrics, music, novels, movies or TV series, plagiarism can really dampen the enthusiasm for creation.
Plagiarism is rampant, and good works will become fewer and fewer. When there is nothing left to copy, everyone will be ruined together.
However, the difference from the previous life is that in this life there are not so many good Chinese singers for them to copy, so the Japanese and Korean music circles next door suffered a lot, and there were a lot of Chinese versions.
Therefore, the decline of the music scene is inseparable from copyright issues. Rights protection in this area is difficult, time-consuming and thankless. Coupled with the impact of online media and the decline of the physical record industry, singers can earn less and less money.
Looking around, there are only a few people in the music world who are making music down to earth, which makes people speechless.
However, it is not just the Chinese music industry that is in ruins. The other television circles, film circles, and variety show circles are almost all in ruins. This is the worst of times, but for Li Hyuk, it is also the best of times.
And Li Hyuk’s path begins with winning the campus singing competition...
