Chapter 221 'Nirvana' was beaten and failed to succeed in Nirvana
Faced with the sudden change in public opinion in just one day, the cultural and creative entertainment industry also immediately launched emergency public relations and issued a statement stating that the album content was all original and there was no suspicion of plagiarism.
At the same time, Cultural and Creative Entertainment also urgently contacted major music platform websites to communicate, hoping that major platforms could cancel the removal of the "Nirvana" song, so as to alleviate the pressure of public opinion.
However, the communication did not produce any good results. It was as if the people in charge of the major music platforms had discussed it in private, but they refused to resume the release of the song "Nirvana".
And there is only one reason. Songs are currently deeply affected by plagiarism. In today's era of supporting original and genuine versions, platforms hope to set a leading example for society and take the lead in resisting such things.
Therefore, regardless of whether "Nirvana" was plagiarized or not, major music platforms will have to wait until this matter comes to light before the major music platforms decide whether to re-list the song "Nirvana".
When the news spread, the entire cultural and creative entertainment industry fell into a solemn atmosphere, and everyone in the company was trying their best to deal with the negative impact of this incident.
Spend money to remove trending searches.
Do public relations.
Release a statement.
Even the songwriter of "Nirvana" came uninvited and found Sui Xi and Li Youqing to express their apologies and patted their chests to ensure that they had not plagiarized any song.
In fact, there are thousands of songs, and it is unavoidable that many songs have some similarities in lyrics and music, so it is very easy to find the similarities between two songs.
Of course, "Nirvana" does not meet the standards of plagiarism, otherwise it would have been punished long ago, and it would not be able to continue to be sold.
Both Sui Xi and Li Youqing knew this very well. They did not blame the songwriter himself, but instead tried to comfort each other with words.
After all, the songwriter is also a victim in this matter.
The songwriter was so moved by Sui Xi and Li Youqing's comfort that he vowed to send a lawyer's letter to the "Broken Cocoon" songwriter when he returned home to make the other party pay legal responsibility.
“Is it really useful to send a lawyer’s letter?”
After a busy day, on the way home, Li Youqing suddenly remembered the words of the songwriter during the day, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Because she was involved in the plagiarism incident, Xiao Nizi was not in a very good mood and looked very depressed.
When Jiang Bei heard this, he didn't have time to answer, but the gambling king who was playing Landlord in the back seat said first: "Naive, if the lawyer's letter is useful, how can our Kunkun be ridiculed by so many people?"
Lawyer's letters are at best a deterrent in a competitive place like the entertainment industry, but the actual effect is very little.
Li Youqing pouted and poked at the phone, complaining: "Isn't the crime of slander a crime?"
"It seems that there is no crime of defamation in our country. At most, it is a crime of defamation." Jiang Bei kindly spread legal knowledge to his wife.
"And defamation crimes are generally difficult to establish. Even if they are established, they will only be fined, apologized, etc." Liang Liang, who was in the back seat, added.
"How well do you two learn legal knowledge?" Li Youqing looked back and forth with surprise on their faces.
Jiang Bei's old face looked a little unnatural, and he continued to drive without looking away.
Liangliang didn't care at all and said bluntly: "As your assistant and agent, how can I do it if I don't even have this bit of legal knowledge?"
There is nothing wrong with this. With the development of the times, there are many channels for becoming a public figure in this era. However, being a public figure also requires you to bear many things, especially not breaking the law.
Such as tax evasion.
For example, the leek-cutting incident.
For example, openly singing the national anthem in the live broadcast room.
Some public figures know the law and break it, while others are legally illiterate.
But no matter which one it is, as agents and assistants around public figures, it is very necessary to understand the law.
At least you can be reminded when you make a mistake, right?
"What should we do? Yesterday, the pre-sales of the album dropped below 40,000, and today I heard it was only over 20,000. If the impact of plagiarism continues for a while, my album may have to be sold out again."
Perhaps because he felt that what Liangliang said was reasonable, Li Youqing began to worry about his album again.
Today is the fourth day of pre-sale for the "Nirvana" album. As plagiarism incidents continue to escalate, the album's sales are also declining rapidly. The pre-sale volume in four days barely reached 200,000 copies.
You must know that this is still an impact when the quality of the album is strong. If the quality of the album is poor or Li Youqing himself is not well-known, then the current situation will definitely be more tragic.
"Hasn't the pre-sale volume of the album already exceeded 200,000? I'm sure it won't be a problem for this album to eventually sell over 500,000. Is it considered a success?" Jiang Bei said as he drove the car.
An album is not a single. In this Internet age, being able to sell half a million copies is definitely a gratifying achievement.
This is especially true when Li Youqing is still a newcomer to the music scene.
"But Sister Sui Xi told me that if there was no impact from the plagiarism incident, the pre-sales of my album would have reached at least 500,000. There are only three days left in the pre-sale. With the current reverse growth rate, let alone 500,000
, even 250,000 is barely enough. It’s just half of it!”
Li Youqing got angry when he mentioned this, and his tone was raised several times. His angry and serious look was very cute.
It's a pity that Jiang Bei was busy driving and couldn't see this look.
The SUV that had not been replaced in mid-May drove into the parking lot of Arcadia Community, and the family of three packed up their things and went upstairs.
During the process, Li Youqing was meditating all the time. He was in a fugue state. Even when he went home, he would forget his slippers and had to be reminded.
"Beibei, if I think about it carefully, this matter is not that simple." Li Youqing, who was changing his shoes, suddenly said with a frown.
"How to say?"
Jiang Bei walked into the kitchen carrying the purchased vegetables and asked casually after hearing this.
"I don't think this is a simple act of throwing dirty water."
Maybe he thought of something. After changing his shoes, Li Youqing rushed into the kitchen and expressed his thoughts one by one:
"Think about it! The most important thing for capitalists is profit. As the main song of my new album, "Nirvana" is put on their platform for free to bring traffic. There is no reason for the song to be marginalized and removed because of the behavior of throwing dirty water."
"And the actions of all the major platforms are almost uniform, so I suspect that there must be someone behind this matter. Maybe someone deliberately caused the plagiarism incident, and at the same time bribed the major music platforms as the main force, in order to
Expand the negative impact.”
"Eh? Beibei, why are you throwing the vegetables into the trash can?"
After finishing the analysis, Li Youqing suddenly saw her husband throwing the vegetables he took out into the trash can, and asked in confusion.
"Oh, this dish is a bit old, I think it's better not to eat it." Jiang Bei's expression remained unchanged. He didn't even bother to pick up the dish. He just found an excuse to stop it, turned around and started to take out the meat and wash it.
"Is that so?" Xiao Nizi looked at the cabbage in the trash can with confusion. Fortunately, her focus was not on that. Seeing that Jiang Bei did not comment on her speculation, she couldn't help but ask: "What do you think?
How did my analysis go?"
"I feel like you are suffering from delusions of persecution."
"What! Don't you think this is the truth?"
That is indeed the truth, but unfortunately it means nothing because it is all just fiction.
Looking at a lot of ingredients, the old man couldn't help but feel worried and said, "Hurry up and cook. There are a lot of dishes today."
"oh……"
However, Li Youqing obviously did not stop there. Instead, he continued to extend the whole matter along this line of thinking while helping, and finally came to a conclusion at the dinner table: "Looking back on my development history in the past few years, I always feel that there is a big hand.
They are targeting me behind the scenes. So on the surface this incident is a plagiarism scandal, but in fact the real target should be me."
"I'm afraid you've been watching too many detective cartoons recently," the gambling king complained while chewing on his ribs.
Li Youqing didn't take it seriously. He took a mouthful of rice proudly and said vaguely: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now. Everything will be clear in a few days. According to my speculation, the other party's tricks should be more than these. There will be more tricks next.
There will be more incidents against me."
Jiang Bei was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at each other with Liang Liang, both feeling a chill on the back of their heads.
Why did this little girl suddenly become smart?
…
That night, the two giants of the black fan organization began to communicate about this matter through the Internet across a room.
Jiangbei: [Did your sister-in-law discover something? 】
Liangliang: [Absolutely impossible, she is not even good at math, how high can her IQ be? It must be a random guess.]
Jiang Bei: [But if everything goes according to plan, wouldn’t your sister-in-law’s guess be confirmed? 】
Liangliang: [What are you afraid of? Even if she knows that someone is causing trouble for her behind her back, as long as we don't expose it, what can she do?]
Jiangbei: [Where is the songwriter of "Broken Cocoon"? ]
Liangliang: [Don’t worry, the money will be paid, and this author also has improper relationships with many fans. I have all the evidence.]
Jiangbei: [Okay, then everything will be implemented as planned. 】
After the two had finished chatting privately, the two giants came to the small group of three and reported the current situation to Li Qiangguo, the current head of the black fandom. Li Qiangguo also didn't care about Li Youqing's random speculation and just ordered to seize the time to implement the next step.
plan.
The three of them chatted in the group for about half an hour before ending the meeting.
The next day.
It was the fifth day after the "Nirvana" album was caught in the plagiarism controversy. Through the continuous efforts of cultural and creative entertainment and Suixi's many years of connections in the entertainment industry, some music platforms agreed to put the title song back on the shelves.
At the same time, the popularity of the plagiarism scandal on major websites has also begun to weaken, and the negative impact on the "Nirvana" album has gradually diminished.
However, although the impact of plagiarism has begun to decrease, there is still no hope for the sales prospects of "Nirvana".
Because on the sixth day, Erjing Film and Television announced that its well-known first-line female singer Yan Xien has officially released her new album "Reincarnation".
Yes.
Publish directly.
Even the pre-sales are not complete.
And the album is priced at only thirty yuan.
The album price of 30 yuan is really cheap in today's market where the regular version is 50-60 yuan and the hardcover version is hundreds.
But the problem is that although Erjing Film and Television's album is sold cheaply, the album is as exquisitely produced as a hardcover version, and it caused a sensation as soon as music fans got it and posted it on the Internet.
In addition, all the songs in Yan Xien's album were personally composed by Mr. Mu Xia, who has disappeared from the entertainment industry for a year.
As Mr. Mu Xia, who became famous two years ago, his legend is still left on the Internet. Combined with Yan Xien's popularity, a whirlwind blew up in the music world in an instant, directly beating the popularity of Li Youqing's album to pieces.
No one cares.
In fact, when it comes to releasing an album, most singers will deliberately avoid some well-known singers before releasing an album to prevent sales from being affected. Singers like Yan Xien who take the initiative to find fights are really rare.
As a result of the rapid decline in popularity, pre-sale sales were not alleviated by the cessation of the plagiarism controversy. Instead, they increased day by day. The combined sales volume from the fifth to seventh days barely exceeded 50,000 copies.
The most serious problem is not just that. The CD pressing factory that cooperated with Cultural and Creative Entertainment suddenly broke the contract when it originally promised to take over the pressing, packaging, and printing contracts, and it was even willing to pay liquidated damages.
In other words, the CD pressing factory will no longer cooperate with cultural and creative entertainment.
The reason given is also very simple. Their factory was acquired by Erjing Film and Television, and now the factory's first task is to help Yan Xien rush to produce and process her album.
The CD pressing factory's refusal to cooperate has made the originally difficult sales of "Nirvana" even worse, because the number of albums they are rushing to produce is only 200,000 copies. The direct breach of contract by the CD pressing factory means that cultural and creative entertainment may not even be able to pre-sell the album.
It is impossible to complete the shipment in the first time.
"This is simply too much!"
After Li Youqing learned the news, she was so angry that she barely showed off her incompetent roaring skills.
Sui Xi's reaction was very calm, because she knew what caused this incident, but what she didn't expect was that the young father had such a clever method, directly killing his daughter one by one.
.
What's more important is that it seems that her husband also got involved and produced a high-quality album for Yan Xien to use against his wife.
It was the first time in Suixi's worldview that her husband and biological father jointly suppressed her.
"I have no choice but to hold on tight and contact me in time if you have any difficulties." This was the message the old man sent privately to Sui Xi, always expressing his position that he was in Cao's camp and his heart was in Han.
Hold these two lightly.
Erjing Film and Television is now rich and powerful. Although she has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, her main job is an actor and a singer after all; even Cultural and Creative Entertainment was just a small entertainment company before that, and there was no
It may be able to compete with Erjing Film and Television, which acquired Sanchuan Cinemas.
But if you can't fight, you still have to persevere. Who makes her and Jiangbei be on the same side?
The helpless Sui Xi could only comfort Li Youqing's mood while seizing the time to contact the new CD pressing factory for cooperation to ensure that the pre-sale albums could reach the hands of music fans in time.
In addition, I started looking for people to have a relationship with in private to see if I could solve the current dilemma.
But Erjing Film and Television's offensive is indeed very fierce. Using a dirty trick of buying factories to delay your album production is a trivial matter; the key is that the strength they put on the table is exaggerated!
A-list female singer Yan Xien.
The famous screenwriter Mu Xia.
Erjing Film and Television, an emerging giant in the entertainment industry.
Reputation, quality, operation.
With the three powerful forces joining forces, how many in the entertainment industry can they find that can compete with them?
So unfortunately, "Nirvana" was severely beaten in the end and failed to achieve Nirvana.
