Chapter 271 Plagiarism

In the midst of painful memories, Ding Dasheng glanced at the phone screen unintentionally.

I just searched for "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" to no avail, and the title of the song "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" came into view.

Ding Dasheng's eyes widened suddenly and he quickly clicked on "Wanli Jiangshan" to play.

The same exciting, slightly familiar melody sounded, and Ding Dasheng felt a faint bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, Ding Dasheng discovered that "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" was finally uploaded on Penguin Music, and he quickly clicked it and listened to it again.

Listening to the two songs back and forth, the disbelief in Ding Dasheng's eyes became more and more intense. He didn't even bother to watch the TV and ran back to the room.

Taking out two pieces of paper, Ding Dasheng first played "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" and wrote down its abbreviated score.

As a professional music critic, his professional knowledge is absolutely passable. Although the simple music score may not be completely correct, it is at least close to ten.

Then, there is "Wanli Jiangshan".

When the simplified scores of the two songs were put together and compared, there was a "boom" in Ding Dasheng's mind, and an idea flashed across his mind.

Something big happened!

...

On the night of the broadcast of "Han Dynasty", it received high praise for its excellent production and the powerful theme song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years".

In particular, "Borrow From Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", composed by Ye Zhiqiu and sung by Sun Lei, has aroused heated discussion.

In recent years, Sun Lei rarely sang another classic song, and many fans called him "Ye Qing Hui".

However, under the topic of "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", different voices gradually emerged.

"By the way, do you think the melody of this song is a bit familiar?"

"It seems a bit similar to "Wanli Jiangshan" released by Xiao Jie a few days ago?"

"Same feeling! I thought I was the only one who felt that way!"

"It seems to be true. Listen to this paragraph... and here..."

"No, is it... plagiarism?"

As soon as the sensitive word "plagiarism" came out, the number of comments exploded.

"Isn't it possible? "Wanli Jiangshan" was composed by Luo Wen and sung by the king Xiao Jie. "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" was composed by Ye Zhiqiu and sung by another king Sun Lei. They are all big guys, whoever copied it

who?"

"You can't say that. It doesn't mean that a big boss will not plagiarize."

""Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was released first, and "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" was released later. Judging from the time, it should be...the latter plagiarized?"

"I think it's impossible. Does Ye Zhiqiu need to plagiarize? Is it normal for his works to be plagiarized by others?"

"You can't say that. Although I can't believe it, the facts before me are like this."

"Isn't this logic wrong? Although the two songs were released one after another, when they were created is another matter. Why do you think Ye Zhiqiu plagiarized it? Maybe Xiao Jie plagiarized him?"

"To be fair, the quality of the two songs is not the same at all. "Borrowing from the Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is obviously better than "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", but the good ones are copied from the ones that are not as good as it?"

"Don't change the concept upstairs. Whether it is plagiarized or not is different from which song is better. Just because "Borrow from the Sky for Five Hundred Years" is better does not mean that it is not suspected of plagiarism."

"It's so funny, Xiao Tianwang's status in the music world is still higher than that of Ye Zhiqiu, right? Moreover, he has been collaborating with his dedicated songwriter Luo Wen for more than ten years, and he has never heard of plagiarism or anything..."

All of a sudden, the topic "Ye Zhiqiu/Xiao Jie is suspected of plagiarism" firmly occupied the first place in the hot search list.

As soon as the news came out, the entire music world was shocked.

Ye Zhiqiu and Xiao Jie are a new generation of geniuses who have emerged from nowhere. Both of them have huge fan bases.

Xiao Jie's studio's reaction was not unpleasant, and the official Weibo account immediately posted a message to refute the rumors.

"As a singer who has been in the industry for 16 years, Xiao Jie respects the originality 100%. We deeply regret the rumors on the Internet that Xiao Jie plagiarized and damaged the reputation of the relevant artists, and reserve the right to pursue his legal responsibility in accordance with the law.

."

Below this Weibo, several pictures are attached.

One is a folder named "Wanli Jiangshan" in the computer of the creator Luo Wen. It contains audio samples, simplified musical notations and other files. It can be clearly seen in the picture that the file creation date was a year ago.

The second picture is the chat record between Luo Wen and Xiao Jie about the song "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", also dated a year ago.

The last one is the song copyright certification for "Wanli Jiangshan".

As soon as this Weibo post came out, the suspicion of Xiao Jie's plagiarism was basically eliminated, and the pressure from public opinion immediately came to Ye Zhiqiu's side.

In response to this unexpected incident, Huahai Entertainment immediately held an emergency meeting.

Plagiarism is not a trivial matter, especially for singer-songwriters. Once these two words are used, the basic reputation will collapse.

In the conference room, Li Wenrui, Song Mei, Ye Zhiqiu and other senior executives were all present.

A video was playing on the conference room screen.

In the video, a well-known music host compares "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" and "Wanli Jiangshan" together, and clips with similar melodies are played one after another.

At the end of the video, everyone's expressions were not very good.

"Bang!"

Song Mei slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "It's too much to bully others! This is blatant plagiarism!"

"They definitely secretly recorded the song after the audition that day!"

Song Mei briefly recounted the day's episode. Everyone was an insider and immediately guessed the whole story.

Music director Chen Haitao said with a gloomy face, "I checked online and found that the copyright registration time for the song "Wanli Jiangshan" was the day after Xiao Jie tried out the song in "Han Dynasty" to no avail. It should be the masterpiece of fast shooter Luo Wen.

"

A senior executive quickly interjected: "Wouldn't it be enough to publish the copyright registration time? Just sue him for plagiarism!"

"It's useless." Chen Haitao sighed, "Their so-called rumor-refuting Weibo was obviously carefully designed."

"The song "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was indeed written by Luo Wen a year ago. It was probably a semi-finished product at the time. A short section of the audio was posted on Weibo, which also matches the melody of the song."

"This is their insidious thing. They avoid the important part and ignore the light part. They avoid talking about the melody of the most plagiarized part of the song."

"And based on my understanding of Luo Wen and Xiao Jie, since they dare to do it, they will never leave a ponytail on the copyright."

Everyone was silent. There are relevant standards for determining whether a song's copyright is plagiarized. The melody must be consistent for a certain number of verses.

Needless to say, "Wanli Jiangshan" definitely did not step on this red line.

From a legal point of view, Xiao Jie's team did an almost flawless job. This time it was indeed Ye Zhiqiu and Huahai Entertainment who suffered a big hidden loss.
