Chapter 25 The Commercial Value of "Goodbye Youth"
Cao Yi has worked at Beihu TV for five years. Because he is tall and handsome, even if the quality of the program is worse, he has accumulated a lot of fans so far, especially some brainless female fans who are fans of Cao Yi himself.
Seeing Cao Yi's Weibo certification "The Original Host of "History Forum"" and comparing the explanation of Wang Qian's certification "The Host of "History Forum"" that Cao Yi's fans immediately knew who Cao Yi was scolding, so they ran to Wang Qian's Weibo and started to curse.
Cao Yi was detained for theft and assaulting the police. The person who posted on Weibo is not Cao Yi himself, but Cao Yi's wife Zhao Gaoyu.
Zhao Gaoyu is also a member of Beihu TV Station and works as a column editor under Lei Xiang of the variety show channel. On the day of Cao Yi's accident, she was traveling to the outdoor scene. When she returned to the TV station, she found out that Cao Yi was arrested. After going to the bureau to ask Cao Yi about the cause and effect, Zhao Gaoyu hated Wang Qian to death.
After Wang Qian posted the Weibo of "Goodbye Youth", Lei Xiang deliberately hinted in front of Zhao Gaoyu, saying that Wang Qian had plagiarized, infringed, etc., and that the evidence was conclusive, and he would soon go to court to sue Wang Qian.
Zhao Gaoyu was of course extremely excited when he heard about this. After asking Lei Xiang that he could post this on Weibo, he immediately rushed out and bombarded Wang Qian.
"What's going on?" Cao Yi's best friend Yuan Zhiwei reposted Cao Yi's Weibo and asked.
"The songwriter of this song "Goodbye Youth" is Lei Ming. He has worked as a part-time host on our variety show channel. This song is the theme song produced by Lei Ming for the famous director Bai Jingquan's TV series "Youth Without Regret". I don't know how the little bastard got the lyrics and songs. After singing, he said it was his own. It's so shameless!" Zhao Gaoyu replied to Yuan Zhiwei on Cao Yi's Weibo.
"There is such a thing? There is no one else who uses his connections to squeeze Teacher Cao away from "History Forum", designing to harm Teacher Cao. Now he still secretly records other people's songs and wants to take them for himself! It's really shameless!" Xu Peiqi also reposted the conversation between Cao Yi and Yuan Zhiwei on Weibo and commented.
"Thanks to my sister-in-law for speaking up for justice! This song was written by me to Director Bai's "Youth Without Regret" as the theme song. I sang it in the TV studio. I never thought that this person secretly stole the recording and tried to take it for himself. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?" Lei Ming mentioned on Cao Yi also replied to Weibo.
Wang Qian was leaning against the head of the bed at this time, lying on his back in a very comfortable position, drinking the tea in his cup, and reading the comments on his Weibo on his mobile phone.
It was originally a few praises, but suddenly at some point they all turned into insulting comments, calling Wang Qian "shameless", "plagiarized dog", "thief" and so on.
Wang Qian couldn't help but wonder, could anyone come here like him? I know that his song is not original?
Soon Wang Qian discovered where these netizens who scolded him came from, all of them came from Cao Yi, Xu Peiqi, Yuan Zhiwei, Lei Xiang, and Lei Ming’s Weibo.
Can Cao Yi still post on Weibo? Was he released?
Lei Ming called "sister-in-law" in his reply on Weibo. It seems that Cao Yi's wife is posting on Weibo? Her husband has fallen and his wife goes to the battlefield? The couple is really standing by!
They suddenly slandered and scolded him in unison. Could it be that someone was manipulating him behind the scenes?
Seeing the remarks they made, Wang Qian suddenly understood what was going on after recalling the scene when Lei Xiang bought the copyright of "Goodbye Youth" from him at a low price and signed it in front of the songwriter.
No one traveled with him. This Lei Ming, who claimed to have the copyright of "Goodbye Youth", looked at the surnames of 10 to 10, and nine out of 10 were Lei Xiang's relatives. Lei Xiang bought the copyright from Wang Qian, and should have wanted to sign the name of the person and then promote it on the variety show station.
Wang Qian rejected Lei Xiang, so they joined forces with Cao Yi and others who were unhappy with Wang Qian, and publicly claimed on Weibo that Lei Ming was the original author of the song and that Wang Qian was a plagiarist!
Wang Qian’s song is indeed not original, but brought from the original world, representing the culture of the original world. Even if it is plagiarism, it is not the turn of Thunder to be original!
Looking at this show, Lei Xiang couldn't cheat the copyright from Wang Qian at a low price, so she was going to rob it?
Is this too funny?
This song was originally written and sung by Wang Qian in front of more than ten interview examiners on the TV station during the interview. Does Lei Xiang feel that she can snatch it so hard in broad daylight?
"No way? This song was actually plagiarized?"
"It's so hateful, right? I'm wasting my feelings! I've been here for nothing all night!"
"Down with shameless plagiarism dog!"
"Wang Qian gets out of the entertainment industry! Return the show to Teacher Cao!"
"Save Teacher Cao who was wrongly imprisoned!"
“…”
A large number of insults swept over Wang Qian's Weibo. The fans who had previously praised Wang Qian disappeared under such a huge momentum. Some netizens who did not know the truth turned from fans to black, followed Cao Yi and others' fans to insult Wang Qian.
Zhang Mengdi, Mint, Xu Jichao, Liu Xiaoxi and others who have been praising this song before were silent at this time. They were not present during the interview. They were not sure what was going on. At this time, they spoke rashly and likely would have tricked themselves into it.
...
Everything behind this incident was planned by Lei Xiang, who wanted to trick Wang Qian into it.
She dared to let Cao Yi's wife Zhao Gaoyu and her nephew Lei Ming do this on Weibo, so of course she had her plans.
As the head of Beihu TV Variety Channel, Lei Xiang can certainly see the commercial value of the song "Goodbye Youth" when interviewing Wang Qian.
The interview with Lei Xiang was also a director in charge of the music channel named Zhang Junjie. He used to be a music producer. He fell in love with Lei Xiang and was always Lei Xiang's follower. When Wang Qian was playing and singing "Goodbye Youth", Zhang Junjie felt good after listening to a few sentences, and immediately secretly turned on his phone to record the audio.
That night, Zhang Junjie restored "Goodbye Youth" in full and sent it to Lei Xiang by email, and told Lei Xiang that with his intuition, this song will definitely become popular if it is promoted vigorously, the singers will become popular, and the songwriters will become popular! Even the popular!
Lei Xiang sent her an email to her in the entertainment industry and participated in the nephew Lei Ming, the supporting role in "Youth Without Regrets". Lei Ming had also made music before. After seeing this song, she felt that it was much better than the theme song of "Youth Without Regrets", so she sent it to Bai Jingquan, the director of "Youth Without Regrets".
Bai Jingquan was very busy at the time. After a few days, he noticed this song with Lei Ming's constant reminder. After singing it, people felt that it matched the theme of his TV series, and even raised his TV series to a higher level as a whole!
Bai Jingquan and his team were very satisfied with the song, so they immediately decided to use this song instead of the original theme song used as "Youth Without Regrets", and offered Lei Ming 150,000 yuan. After negotiation, the two sides completed a deal of 200,000 yuan. Lei Ming was responsible for singing the song. Beihu TV Variety Channel will help promote it vigorously.
So Lei Xiang came to buy out "Goodbye Youth" for 2,000 yuan.
Lei Xiang had already planned to find Wang Qian before she found Wang Qian. It would be best if she could reach an agreement with Wang Qian, as it would be less trouble. Moreover, she said that Wang Qian's name would be written at the back, but it would not be written in the copyright contract. The TV series would definitely only write Lei Ming's name.
If the agreement cannot be reached, then the second plan can only be implemented.
A newcomer, facing several channel directors, would draw a big pie that might be transferred to the variety show channel in the future. In Lei Xiang's opinion, Wang Qian would definitely beg her to beg her to sell the song.
But what Lei Xiang didn't expect was that Wang Qian actually refused her mercilessly!
In a rage, Lei Xiang decided to implement the second plan, using his power and Wang Qian's lack of experience to forcibly rob the copyright of "Goodbye Youth"!
This song has never been released publicly. What is most beneficial to Lei Xiang now is the email sent by Lei Ming to Bai Jingquan that night. If Wang Qian did not have electronic evidence earlier than that time proved that the song was original by him, from a legal perspective, this song is Lei Ming's.
When talking about copyright with Wang Qian that day, Lei Xiang asked Wang Qian two questions first, pretending to be careless, but in fact he had already buried the trap.
Her first question was to ask Wang Qian, "Is this song produced and released?", and the second question was to ask Wang Qian, "Do you have a draft in your hands now?"
Wang Qian shook his head and expressed his denial, saying that he didn't have time to sort out the song.
Lei Xiang and Zhang Junjie therefore speculated that Wang Qian, a newcomer who lacks fixed copyright experience, may not have proved that this song is his original electronic evidence!
Since that's the case, then use the legal provisions to force this song! The variety show channel vigorously promoted it and made her nephew Lei Ming famous.
As for the other interviewers during the interview, Lei Xiang was not worried at all. Her husband was the leader of Beihu Radio and Television. She was also one of the important members of the core interest groups in Beihu TV. The directors of these channels were all old fry. No one would risk offending her and speak or prove Wang Qian.
The only person who could help Wang Qian was Shen Linxiang, but Shen Linxiang had the handle in Lei Xiang's hands. He should not be able to offend Lei Xiang for the matter of a newcomer.
Even if Shen Linxiang cares about the consequences and wants to help Wang Qian prove it, it is unreasonable!
Instead of going directly to the court to sue Wang Qian for infringement, he first instructed Zhao Gaoyu to let go of rumors on Weibo. Lei Xiang's purpose is very obvious. First, he wanted to create established facts for the public and make the public think that Lei Ming is the real original author of "Goodbye Youth" and that Wang Qian is a plagiarist.
In addition, this method can be used to test whether Wang Qian has saved the copyright evidence during the interview in a timely manner or the evidence from earlier.
If not, this song will definitely be snatched up without spending a penny!
The new book is on the list, asking for collection from brothers and sisters, and asking for recommendation votes, thank you!
