Chapter 50 Sweeping Movement and Saying Goodbye to Plagiarism
Chapter 50: Anti-corruption Movement, Say Goodbye to Plagiarism
Li Hyuk's digital album is like a heavy hammer, dealing a heavy blow to the current dull music scene.
Whether they are young listeners who have experienced the glory of the music scene in the 1990s or who have not, they are all impressed by this album.
It's so impressive that these twelve songs, except for a few songs whose styles are not acceptable to the general audience, have all been on the hot song list.
Chinese Chart is a TV music selection program. Since the 1990s, the program has continued to operate for more than ten years, but its attention has gradually declined.
The program has also started to help itself, such as opening an online channel to continue rankings, inviting well-known musicians to comment on new songs, etc. However, Chinese music is not strong, and there is no fresh blood and songs for the program to comment on.
Just last week, the funniest thing happened. Liu Tianwang, who had not released a song for many years, once again had several songs from the 1990s on the top ten charts.
Although Liu Tianwang is very powerful, it also shows that there is a lack of fresh blood in the music world, and no one can take up the banner of Chinese music.
Liu Tianwang himself was also asked about this matter. Liu Tianwang expressed optimistically: "Isn't there Guns N' Roses up there? I recently played their "Rainy Day" single, and there are still new people in the music scene."
"But just a band cannot save the current Chinese music scene. Have you ever considered leaving the band?" the reporter asked.
There was a hint of helplessness in Liu Tianwang's smile: "I am old and no longer have the same spirit as before. Let's leave it to the young people! To put it another way, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than it is now. It has bottomed out and rebounded!"
At first, netizens thought Liu Tianwang's words were just comfort. After all, they really didn't see much hope, but since "Jay", everyone found that something seemed different.
The same goes for the Chinese charts. In this week's rankings, "Jay" and "Secret Garden" completed the massacre of the rankings.
Zhou Yawen didn't go out to play on the weekend. Instead, she tidied up the housework, tidied the room, and played her favorite song "Dark Dark" all afternoon.
Although she also likes other songs in the "Jay" album, she doesn't know why, but she feels that "Heaven" particularly touches her heart.
Having a rare free time in the evening, Zhou Yawen cooked a bowl of noodles by herself and turned on the TV to find a program to watch. At this moment, she saw the weekly ranking list of "Chinese Charts", and the 19th place happened to be "Tenderness".
Looking at the rankings and listening to the familiar songs, Zhou Yawen unconsciously forgot her original intention of watching the variety show tonight.
"No. 18. The old song of veteran king Zhang Xueyou has become popular. "Kiss Goodbye" is on the list again, ranking 17th this week." The host's voice on the TV matched the phrase "I kiss you goodbye", and Zhou Yawen felt very
Strange, is this song twenty years old?
The next seventeenth to thirteenth songs are "Loving", "Singing in the Trees", "Rainy Day", "Rain Love", and "Hello Tomorrow", which is Guns and Roses.
The band's EP "Secret Garden".
Zhou Yawen remembered that a friend told her that all the songs in "Secret Garden" were in the top ten last week. How could they fall down so quickly?
Looking at the lyrics and composition column of Li Hyuk in the played MV, Zhou Yawen suddenly realized that it seemed that only Li Hyuk, a music geek, could push his own songs off the charts.
Music Freak is a nickname given by fans who have fallen in love with Lee Hyuk recently. The genius is not awesome enough, and the geek is not weird enough. Because everyone thinks that Lee Hyuk started learning music from his mother's womb, so he is called Music Freak.
Not to mention, after saying this nickname too many times, everyone agreed, and Li Hyuk got his first nickname.
The fact is just as Zhou Yawen expected, starting from "Indian Old Turtle Dove" which ranked 12th, all the way to the first place are songs from the "Jay" album.
Among them, "It's Dark", "Tornado", and "Lovely Woman" were ranked in the top three. As expected, the audience is all discerning, and "It's Dark" is the best. Zhou Yawen is happy that she has found friends who share the same opinions.
In fact, not only on the TV charts, but also on the online new song charts, "Heaven" also occupied the first position as expected. The hot song chart did not go up due to album sales.
Li Hyuk was a little surprised when he saw this ranking. Stefanie is still strong. She is worthy of being the singer who beat Jay Chou to win the Best Newcomer Award.
"Li He, our album has been well received this time. Many musicians have come forward to praise it. The reputation is very good." Fan Noxuan said excitedly.
"What about album sales?" Li Hyuk doesn't care about word-of-mouth issues. How can he not know whether the songs are good? But album sales are an issue that he is very concerned about. After all, it is related to future development strategies.
Fan Noxuan replied: "You all know that the digital album sales volume in three days is 770,000. Breaking one million is not a problem. The most important thing is the sales of physical records. Unexpectedly, there were 80,000 sales. It is expected to exceed 1 million."
It’s not difficult to sell 150,000 copies.”
Li He nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good result. Just from the album alone, the studio can make a lot of money. If we start concerts, copyright licensing and other fees, it will be a huge amount of income."
"It's good, but the problem now is that there have been a lot of pirated copies, and they are all free, which has seriously affected the sales of our albums." Fan Noxuan said distressedly.
Plagiarism and piracy are a headache for any singer, and Li Hyuk is no exception. However, the scale of the plagiarism organization this time is still a bit big.
"Have you negotiated with QQ Music?" Li He asked.
"QQ Music has negotiated with other platforms and sent a lawyer's letter to warn them, but with little success. This kind of thing has no beginning and no end. It took two years to complete, and I suspect that the same people are behind this.
That’s what happened.” Fan Nuoxuan said.
Li He sneered and said: "Again? It's endless. Let's investigate. Call the police to investigate. I can see it. This kind of thing cannot be compromised. If you hold a press conference in the name of the studio, just say that our studio
We will definitely pursue it to the end.”
Fan Nuoxuan also got angry: "Okay, I will hold a press conference tomorrow. Even if the chicken is killed, the monkey will not be spared."
The next day, Fantasy Studio held a press conference. In response to the recent problem of rampant piracy, Fan Noxuan said sternly: "The recent problem of piracy has deeply hurt the creative enthusiasm of our studio and creators. Xin
I worked so hard to compose the songs, but these plagiarism singers simply copied them.
After discussing with Li Hyuk, we decided that we would never compromise with these plagiarizing singers. No matter what platform or person is behind them, we will pursue them to the end.
Our studio has entrusted the public security organs to intervene in this large-scale plagiarism incident. We would like to advise some plagiarizing singers and platforms to keep their claws away. The Internet is not a place outside the law, nor is it an excuse for plagiarism."
This wording is extremely strong, but the response is mediocre. Most netizens support it, while a few oppose it. The plagiarists should continue to plagiarize after reading it.
In the final analysis, there are no companies that have issued similar statements before, but in the end they were ignored. It is too difficult to pursue such matters.
It is also because of the proliferation of plagiarism that it greatly dampens the enthusiasm of creators. Over time, no good works appear anymore.
But this time it was a little different. Just two hours after Fan Noxuan issued the statement, the relevant departments also held a press conference to talk about their decision to severely crack down on the proliferation of piracy.
As a result, a foreign reporter came forward: "As far as I know, the recently released Chinese album "Jay" has more than a dozen pirated copies of its songs online within two hours of being online. What do you think about this?"
Because plagiarized singers not only plagiarize from China’s own people, but also outsiders also plagiarise, various Chinese versions have appeared, and because of the flaws in the old copyright law, these Chinese plagiarists continue to get away with it.
The spokesperson was disgraced during the live press conference.
When you go out for interviews and people ask you what happened to a plagiarized copy, will your face look bright?
Because the incident was caused by Lee Hyuk's "Jay", singers who copied "Jay" suffered.
Even if you use a fake name on the Internet, it is still a simple matter to find you.
Platforms such as NetEase Cloud and Kugou have removed pirated songs suspected of plagiarizing songs from the "Jay" album, and the platforms were required to make rectifications. For a time, all major platforms were in turmoil.
QQ Music brings pain and joy because it has the copyright of Fantasy Studio music, but at the same time it also has pirated copies of other singers.
Netizens were dumbfounded by this wave of anti-corruption operations, especially fans of plagiarized singers, who were crying everywhere. Today, the plagiarizing singer will be investigated, and tomorrow the plagiarizing singer will be asked to be removed from the market.
At the same time, litigation regarding copyright cases has never been so fast. Fantasy Studio followed the trend and sued a large number of plagiarizing singers, and received compensation of nearly 5 million yuan.
The most important thing is that as the police uncle's investigation deepened, a mastermind was discovered...
