rebirth against the times

The next day, Bai Shuo, accompanied by Chen Bing, Nie Dong, and Duan Lei, came to the conference room early to wait. Bai Shuo sat calmly, picking up the coffee in front of him and taking a slow sip from time to time. Chen Bing

Sitting quietly next to Bai Shuo, Nie Dong's hands were tapping on the table from time to time, making bursts of rapid sounds, while Duan Lei was pacing behind Bai Shuo. Just at the appointed time,

There was a burst of exclamation from outside, and then a person entered the conference room surrounded and protected by everyone. At this time, even Bai Shuo and others were slightly surprised. The person who came turned out to be Jay himself.

Jay was wearing a casual sweatshirt, with the hat behind the sweatshirt on his head, and headphones in his ears. He seemed to be listening to something. After entering the conference room, he sat down directly opposite Bai Shuo and others without speaking.

.A man and a woman followed into the conference room and stood behind Jay. The other two people stood guard outside the conference room door and gently opened the door.

"Are you Gengzi?" Before Bai Shuo and the others could speak, a man in a floral suit asked first.

Bai Shuo stood up. Because the table was too far apart, he couldn't shake hands. He just waved slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Bai Shuo, which is what you call Gengzi."

At this time, another woman in red clothes said: "Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Bai Shuo, your song "Blue and White Porcelain" is more than 60% similar to the music Jay is creating, and "

The music style of "Blue and White Porcelain" is very similar to Jay's previous creative style. So we have reason to suspect that you are suspected of plagiarism." After saying that, he threw the sheet of music in his hand on the table with a bang.

The man in the flower suit also added: "This song was originally inspired by teacher Wenshan's desire to compose a song about bronzes when he was communicating with antique people. I specially asked Jay to compose the song for it. But just

When Jay's music was almost completed, I discovered that you had released the song "Blue and White Porcelain". Not only were the tunes very similar between the two, but even the blue and white porcelain you wrote about was closely related to bronzes.

Du. I wonder if Mr. Bai Shuo has any explanation?"

At this time, Jay seemed to still be listening to something in his headphones and not paying attention to what was going on in the conference room. Everyone else was looking at Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo didn't speak, but picked up the music score that the woman left on the table and turned over it. At this time,

He also couldn't understand why they said this song was not about blue and white porcelain, but was composed for bronze. In fact, it is easy to refute the other party. First of all, judging from the score, it seems that it is not completed yet.

And there are still traces of modifications in many places. It can be said that this is still a semi-finished product. The second and most important thing is that the other party has not applied for copyright for the song, so there is no infringement at all. At the same time, Bai Shuo also

I noticed that the woman was talking about plagiarism, not infringement. If it was plagiarism, then Bai Shuo had never been to Baodao, let alone had the opportunity to come into contact with Jay, so as long as he insisted on denying the other party's accusation, the other party would have no choice.

.Bai Shuo also believes that with Jay's reputation, it is impossible to fight such an uncertain battle with a junior. If something goes wrong, it will cause a lot of damage to his reputation.

"Mr. Bai, don't you have anything to say?" the woman continued to ask.

Bai Shuo looked at the other person and said calmly: "Yes, I plagiarized it. But it has nothing to do with Chen Bing and Haidong Records." Although he was sure of winning, Bai Shuo knew in his heart that the song was not his own.

It can be written, and there are various indications that many things in his dreams are still happening in reality. If he had not come up with this song so early, Jay would have completed it quickly. So Bai Shuo also

He is willing to admit that he plagiarized and take all the responsibility on himself. Since he is not in the entertainment industry anyway, he is not afraid of any repercussions. If he needs to compensate, he is not afraid that he will not be able to pay for it now.

But as soon as this statement came out, not only Chen Bing, but also Jay was shocked. No one expected that Bai Shuo would admit to plagiarism in the first round.

"Bai Shuo, you are stupid. Why admit it? Don't worry about us. We are not afraid of them." Nie Dong said eagerly.

Duan Lei also said angrily: "No way, this song can't be plagiarized."

Chen Bing didn't speak, he just grabbed Bai Shuo's arm and looked at him worriedly.

"Haha, he admitted it himself, but you still talk so much nonsense." The woman in red said with a sneer.

"I think we should talk about the follow-up disposal issues," the man in the flower suit continued.

Bai Shuo comforted Chen Bing a little and said to them: "Okay, but this matter is only between you and me. It has nothing to do with Haidong Records. Any compensation you want will be borne by me."

Just as the conference room was bustling with excitement, a voice restored everyone's silence again.

"No, this song is not plagiarized."

When everyone saw it, it turned out that Jay had taken off his headphones and looked at Bai Shuo and said what he just said.

The woman in red wanted to say something else, but Jay waved his hand to stop her, and then continued: "Although the song Blue and White Porcelain is somewhat similar in melody to the song I am writing, it should be said that compared to my song

The song is even better. In fact, there are many aspects of this song that I am still thinking about during the creation, and it has not been finally completed. But Blue and White Porcelain perfectly highlights the feeling I want. And one thing is that the song Blue and White Porcelain is indeed

It's very similar to my style. I want to know how you did it? Could it be that there really is a coincidence of styles?"

Bai Shuo was also a little surprised at this time. Unexpectedly, Jay stood up and said that he had not plagiarized. He didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Bai Shuo didn't speak, Jay said again: "I just listened to your other creations, and they were all good songs. I believe that such a talented person can write songs like Blue and White Porcelain. You don't have to worry about me.

Is there any disadvantage to you or this record company? In fact, I was just curious to see what kind of creator you are, and you are able to write so thoroughly the feeling I have always wanted. But after being contacted a few times,

You seem to have been avoiding it, so you took this approach."

Upon hearing this, Nie Dong quickly stood up and explained the reason why he had not responded before. Although the other party did not necessarily believe it completely, he finally had a reasonable reason.

After listening to Nie Dong's explanation, Jay continued to ask: "Mr. Bai Shuo, I have listened to a few songs you wrote. Although they have not been officially released, I have my own way to get these things. Each of these songs is

It's great, but their styles of music are completely different. Take blue and white porcelain as an example. Friends who are familiar with it will easily think of my style of music after listening carefully. Can you tell me how you control so many styles?"

Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly, and it seemed that not responding would be an option, so he said: "I'm actually just an amateur music lover. I've been listening to other people's songs since I was a child. For me, I don't have my own specific music at all.

style. When I usually compose, I basically just follow my instincts and sing wherever I think. As for why Blue and White Porcelain is so close to your style, it’s because I have always liked your songs. This song is originally

According to your style."

Jay thought for a while and said, "It seems that Mr. Bai is a musical genius. Music should not have any limitations, but I am too limited by my own style."

After thinking about it again, Jay continued: "I wonder if Mr. Bai has any works similar to mine? If so, I really want to ask for advice again."

Bai Shuo smiled bitterly. Now that things have reached this point, he can only follow this trend. Since the other party is not here to fight, he will naturally not stubbornly want to make a fool of himself. After searching in his mind, Bai Shuo found out

Shuo suddenly said: "Actually, when I was conceiving the song "Blue and White Porcelain", I also thought of other elements. I will make another song with a similar style based on "Blue and White Porcelain".

After saying that, Bai Shuo asked Duan Lei to get him a guitar and played the pure music accompaniment of Blue and White Porcelain. Chen Bing took out the recorder he carried with him and quickly recorded. Then he played with the accompaniment of Blue and White Porcelain.

, Bai Shuo sang a song while playing the guitar to the beat:

The end of the world is windy sand

The story of the world of mortals is called concern

The seal is hidden under the east fence of ordinary people's houses

Xianyun Yehe Ancient Temple

Fast horses fight in the arena

It’s just that I can’t let go of fame and fortune.

How can a person who has a country in his heart be happy and unrestrained?

I just want to share my happiness with you

The sword is unsheathed and there is a grudge, who laughs?

I just want to hold you in my arms today

Hongchen Inn wind is like a knife

Heavy rain strikes fate

No matter who takes the lead in the martial arts world, I will only bend my back for you.

Crossing deserted villages and wild bridges to find ancient roads

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the willow catkins are floating in the hand of the child, and you are free

The window lattice under the eaves reflects the branches obliquely

Sitting across from you and drinking tea

I will remember you firmly with meticulous paintings

It is not elegant to hold a pen

Under the lamp, sighing at the beauty near the sunset

I say fate is like practicing Zen without talking.

Your tears are like pear blossoms, filling the world on paper

Love and hate are like freehand landscape paintings

The sword is unsheathed and there is a grudge, who laughs?

I just want to hold you in my arms today

Hongchen Inn wind is like a knife

Heavy rain strikes fate

No matter who takes the lead in the martial arts world, I will only bend my back for you.

Crossing deserted villages and wild bridges to find ancient roads

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the willow catkins are floating in the hand of the child, and you are free

No matter who takes the lead in the martial arts world, I will only bend my back for you.

You look back so tenderly, I smile with tears in my eyes

Wine waving flags rustling in the wind

The sword is unsheathed and the grievances are over

…

In fact, this song "Red Dust Inn" is also a later song by Jay in my memory. As for singing this song with the accompaniment of blue and white porcelain, it is just some entertainment and comedy in later generations. Bai Shuo was also in pain at this time. Jay is really sorry.

, stole another song from you. After singing the song, the whole audience was shocked. The man in the suit said in surprise, this song is really Jay's style. I can even imagine what it feels like for Jay to sing this song.

At this time, Jay laughed and clapped his hands and walked towards Bai Shuo. "You are really a musical genius. Nice to meet you." After saying that, he extended his right hand to Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo also quickly extended his right hand.

The two hands were held tightly together.

After the feud was cleared, Bai Shuo invited Jay and his party to have dinner. Unexpectedly, Jay heard that Bai Shuo was from Bashu and asked, "Do you want to eat hot pot?"

Bai Shuo asked funnyly: "Does Jay also like hot pot?"

Jay smiled and said, "I like it, because I can control it by myself and cook it for as long as I want."

During the meal, Nie Dong once again mentioned Bai Shuo's judgment on the future development of the music industry, added his own understanding, and put forward many ideas. Jay and Bai Shuo were both impressed.

When Bai Shuo saw Jay, he once again inspired a lot of ideas and suggested to Nie Dong: "Record companies should diversify their development in the future and incorporate elements from various genres and regions. The music circles of Hong Kong Island and Baodao have developed for many years, and there is a strong

has many experienced senior producers and high-quality artists. On the other hand, now that the Olympic Games in the imperial capital are approaching, all parties are looking north to China. In the future, China will definitely usher in a period of rapid development, which is also important for

There are great opportunities and deep attractions in various industries, including music and art, in Hong Kong Island and Baodao. Therefore, Haidong Company can expand multiple businesses and no longer be limited to developing pure music records, but change into

A diversified company engaged in the cultural industry. Second, it can recruit some senior producers and artists from Hong Kong Island and Baodao's literary and art circles who are interested in developing in the mainland, so that the company's cultural heritage can be quickly integrated and improved. Let Haidong

The record company has reached another level.”

After listening to Bai Shuo's ideas, Jay agreed and offered to help introduce some capable and experienced professionals. Nie Dong was very excited, but he objected to one thing Bai Shuo said, that is, whether to let Hai

Dong Records is on the next level. Because he has decided to reorganize Haidong Records again, in order to adapt to the new development needs, the company also needs to change its name.

After everyone agreed, Nie Dong invited Bai Shuo and Jay to join the company on the spot. Jay's main focus still wanted to focus on Baodao, but he said that he could invest in a new company and become a shareholder, and would do his best to help the company in the future if it needed help.

Yes. Nie Dong immediately said that on the basis of Haidong Records, he would invest an additional 20 million yuan in shares. In this way, the company's assets would be about 50 million yuan. Chen Bing joined the company as an artist and accounted for 20% of the company's shares. Bai Shuo and Jay

Joining the company as a consultant each accounts for 15% of the company's shares. In addition, Duan Lei is the backbone of the company, and Nie Dong also offered to give Duan Lei 5% of the shares, so that Nie Dong himself only holds 45% of the company's shares.

Jay first expressed his opposition. He was very optimistic about the development of the mainland market and he was even more optimistic about Chen Bing, Bai Shuo, Nie Dong and others of Haidong Records. He felt that this company would be a company with great development potential. He expressed his willingness to invest 10 million.

, still only holds 15% of the company's shares, and Bai Shuo also expressed his willingness to invest 10 million. Seeing the serious attitude of both of them, Nie Dong felt that Bai Shuo had made a great contribution to the company in the early stage, but did not receive any remuneration.

While injecting 10 million yuan, it was decided to give Bai Shuo an additional 10% of the shares. Bai Shuo couldn't resist, so he agreed. After several discussions, the framework of a new company was gradually formed. The company's largest shareholder Nie Dong held 35% of the shares.

% is responsible for the daily operations of the company, and the remaining shareholders hold shares as follows: Bai Shuo 25%, Chen Bing 20%, Jay 15%, and Duan Lei 5%.

At this time, Duan Lei asked whether the new company should not be called a record company, and suggested that it should be called Haidong Cultural Development Co., Ltd. Nie Dong disagreed, thinking that it was only called "Haidong" because he wanted to entertain himself, but now

The new company has a new mission and should have a better name. After everyone discussed it, Nie Dong finally asked Bai Shuo to name the company, and Chen Bing and others also agreed. Bai Shuo couldn't shirk it, and thought seriously about it.

Liao Xiang said: "The company's mission is to carry forward national culture and carry forward Chinese music and art. Now we are catching up with a very good era. In the prosperous times, we vow to play a new movement for China. Not as good as the company

Just call it 'Shengshi Huazhang', right?"

Everyone agreed unanimously. From then on, an organization that would lead the Chinese literary and art circles in the future and create a new era of Chinese culture - "Shengshi Huazhang Cultural Development Co., Ltd." was officially established.
