I am the savior of China Entertainment

Chapter 26 Personal destiny under the tide of the great era

The current music world environment where plagiarism is common cannot be changed by personal abilities alone. Even giants like Penguin are unable to change it, not to mention that Penguin itself is also a beneficiary of plagiarism.

This kind of thing can only be changed through legislation and clear laws.

In other words, the price of plagiarism is too low now. If you win a lawsuit for two or three years, you will only get a little compensation, and the creator's income will have been wiped out long ago.

And if you lose, you will be even more unlucky. You will have to compensate the plagiarist. If you lose your wife and lose your army, do you think the original creator will be angry?

Therefore, when it comes to plagiarism now, the most the original creators can do is to send a lawyer's letter to warn them and retain their right to pursue lawsuits. There is nothing more they can do.

With big data, short videos, and brainwashing songs, nowadays most of the time a song becomes popular will not exceed three months, and after three months it will be almost forgotten by people.

After two or three years of litigation, the value of a song has long been squeezed out. The time cost of the lawsuit alone is too much for the original creators to lose.

Since the lawsuit is not worth it and the original work has been plagiarized, why are you still fooling around? I might as well stop writing and join the ranks of plagiarists. Anyway, plagiarism is not guilty.

If everyone thinks this way, then there is no hope for the music industry. Fortunately, there are still a group of people in this world who insist on justice and support originality.

After more than a dozen plagiarized versions of "Tenderness" appeared, many netizens couldn't find the audio version of Xinran Band, so they listened to these plagiarized songs.

Upon listening to it, I immediately realized that it felt very different, especially the several changes in the lyrics and melody. The more the listener listened, the more something was wrong.

Therefore, under the plagiarism of major songs, the audience began to curse overwhelmingly.

"I won't even plagiarize. The essence of the original version is the phrase 'Don't bother me, it's my gentleness.' What the hell did you change?"

"It turns out that plagiarism also requires a certain level of skill. The original lyrics are so well written, but in the hands of you plagiarists, they look completely different. If it hadn't been in the same key as the original, I would have thought it was another song!

"

"But let's pull it off, the original singer Xinran's band is very stable on the scene, and the lead singer's singing skills are beyond the reach of these plagiarism singers."

"All versions of "Tenderness", including the Royal Sister version, the new version, the ultra-new version, and the Lolita version, are not as good as the original version."

"The funniest thing is that they actually have the same name, and everything about Li He and Li Drink comes out. Isn't this the real-life version of Li Kui and Li Gui?"

Not only many netizens, but also music industry leaders have criticized this phenomenon. Cui Jian, who had previously commented on "Tenderness", came out to speak again.

"When a good song comes out, various plagiarized versions come out, and everyone still doesn't take it seriously. Plagiarism is not guilty, but originality is guilty?

In the current environment of the music industry, everyone has a responsibility, and I call on everyone to resist plagiarism, support originality, and do not let the original creators feel cold."

Other seniors also took this opportunity to stand up and speak out. The strangest thing is that Yuan Hua, who had just returned to China and released an EP, actually stood up and spoke out against plagiarism.

Who is Yuan Hua? He is a top figure in the entertainment industry and has many fans.

The EP released this time contained several songs that were out of the entertainment industry, which meant that in addition to fans, ordinary passers-by would listen to them. As a result, the copycat singers saw that these songs were popular and copied them without hesitation.

Yuan Hua was also miserable, so he used this incident to denounce these plagiarists.

Fans naturally support my brother, so a group of plagiarists who copied Yuan Hua's songs were scolded by fans.

The perpetrators of the incident, the Xinran Band and Li Hyuk, have now become more famous, but the band members are very normal. When they have classes, they spend their free time on weekends practicing in preparation for the national finals.

Station B has notified the band that it has successfully entered the top twelve national finals, so the band needs to prepare two to three songs.

After discussing with Ye Zixin and Fan Noxuan, Li Hyuk decided to use all original songs, fully confirming his reputation as an original talent.

During this period, record companies also contacted Li Hyuk and Xinran Band one after another, but Li Hyuk declined.

Zi Zixin was very excited, but Li He persuaded Zi Xin to wait until after the national finals to discuss it.

Several major music platforms such as QQ Music and NetEase Cloud have also approached Li He several times, hoping to obtain exclusive copyrights.

Although there is now a loud voice on the Internet to denounce plagiarized singers, the plagiarists are pretending to be dead, and the plagiarized songs on the platform still exist.

At Fan Noxuan's suggestion, Li He released the live audio version of "Tenderness" on Qyin and NetEase Cloud, and listeners can listen to it for free.

This approach is the same as that of Xu Shangao and Xue Zhiqian, the leading Mesozoic figures in the current Chinese music scene.

Both singers' albums are free of charge. Xue Zhiqian mainly relies on variety shows to make money. Xu Shangao can only be said to be a good singer who has dreams and makes music seriously.

It’s just that Fan Nuoxuan has a request. Xu Shangao is not popular, so don’t grab his concert tickets. Fan Nuoxuan can’t grab them...

Although "Tenderness" was written by Li Hyuk, it was published under the name of Xinran Band, so the band can be considered a representative work. If the band wants to use this song in the future, it can obtain commercial authorization from Li Hyuk.

The plagiarism scandal has been hyped for several months, and everyone was quickly attracted by the news that a certain celebrity was engaging in prostitution.

The plagiarism incident caused a big fuss, but in the end it ended hastily. The plagiarists suffered no loss other than being scolded.

After that, songs were washed and plagiarized. However, their good days were over soon. The country had originally planned to improve the copyright bill and promote legislation. This incident was an opportunity.

In June, the superior agency released a red-headed document with many specific contents, the most important of which was the plan to promote copyright protection laws, including novels, film and television drama copyrights, and of course song copyrights.

In this document, it is clearly pointed out that the harm of piracy and plagiarism to the current cultural ecological environment has reached the point where it has to be rectified. The department will soon submit the bill to higher-level departments for discussion.

As soon as this red-headed document came out, writers, film and television drama directors, actors, and original singers who were fed up with plagiarism were overjoyed, while plagiarism singers who relied on plagiarism to make a living felt that the end was coming.

The masterminds behind plagiarism have mixed feelings. As for the ordinary people, they just like to watch movies and give advice on the Internet.

Generally speaking, this is a good phenomenon, and netizens are very supportive. A small number of netizens who stand out and support plagiarism have been scolded by everyone so much that their mothers don’t recognize them.

By the way, Ren Jiajia dropped out of school and reportedly went to Nanbang with Cui Jinghui. I can only wish her good luck.

People who are sensitive to policies have already seen that the copyright law is first used to protect creators, and then restraint orders are used to protect the market, in order to allow the Chinese cultural circle to develop.

Not to mention going global, at least we have to protect the national culture, right?

Of course, this proposition is a bit big, at least it is not Li He's responsibility. However, in the wave of the great era, if some people go down, others will naturally seize the opportunity and come up.

Li He was very lucky. This was a God-given opportunity. When it finally came time to show off his talents, it was no longer a dream to seize this opportunity and rise to 90,000 miles.

Individuals cannot change the general environment, but the country can. I saved the Chinese music scene.
