Chapter 3 The Queen Walks Alone Through Dark Alleys
"Suddenly trending at number seventeen!"
Tang Yi also saw it, her expression grave: "Someone bought the trending topics on Qingming Festival! Could it be the program team?"
Xu Yuan shook his head.
Because several other trending topics quickly emerged, and their content was also unfriendly to "I Am the King of Singers".
Top 15: Shameless! Yu Qingwan appeared on the same show as Huang Kai, the singer whose copyright she infringed!
Top 11: Confirmed! The producer of "Youth" admits that the song "Spinning Around" on the album is plagiarized! Yu Qingwan is a co-writer of the album.
Top 7: DiYu Media has frozen all songs by plagiarizing singer Yu Qingwan!
"This..." Tang Yi paced back and forth anxiously, "How could this happen?"
Why freeze all songs on the Spring Festival Gala just because of the song "Spinning Around"? This is clearly an attempt to embarrass the Spring Festival Gala on air!
The key point is that Qingwan didn't write songs; she was just the singer on that album. How did she become a plagiarist?
boom!
Jiang Youwei burst into the dressing room, went straight to Xu Yuan, and quickly communicated with him in the manner of a career elite: "Since it's going to be a meeting, the information can't be kept absolutely secret. DiYu knew in advance but didn't make a move; they deliberately waited until the show started before they made their move."
She's singing live right now, both for the show and for Yu Qingwan.
Tang Yi shook her head: "Diyu Entertainment has frozen the performance rights to all of Qingwan's songs, so we can't sing them."
Jiang Youwei: "It's okay, our production team has licenses for other songs. I'll send you the song list, and you can pick one you can sing."
Tang Yi was about to receive the message when a pop-up message startled her so much that her hand trembled, and she dropped her phone on the ground: "This... I really can't sing anymore!"
Jiang Youwei picked up the phone and looked at it; her pupils contracted.
Top trending topic: The China Music Copyright Association has launched an investigation into singer Yu Qingwan for plagiarism, and has temporarily banned Yu Qingwan from performing any songs registered under the names of association members during the investigation.
!!!
Temporary ban!
"We're doomed! There's no one in the music industry who isn't a member of the copyright association!" Jiang Youwei plopped down on the sofa, not even bothering to stop her shaking chest. "This means Yu Qingwan won't be able to sing our song either."
These scoundrels from DiYu Entertainment, haven't they been planting this poisonous thorn in their side for six or seven years?
No wonder they dared to pressure you like this; they really have a killer move.
Tang Yi still didn't understand the situation.
Xu Yuan explained: "In Qingwan's first album, 'Youth,' there is a song that was a hidden trap planted by Diyu."
This song is of far inferior quality to the other songs. The only reason it was included is because it is a plagiarized work, and DiYu has preserved all the evidence.
At the same time, they made Qingwan a co-writer of the album, which is a form of support for many singers, creating a persona of singer-songwriter talent. But it is also a sweet poison.
With this stain on her record, Emperor Entertainment could ruin Qingwan's music career at any time. Of course, if Qingwan is obedient, this stain will never appear.
Tang Yi trembled with anger: "Then what should we do?"
Xu Yuan was still scrolling through the trending topics: "No rush. Given DiYu's style, this series of moves should have a perfect ending... Hmm, it's out."
Top 28 trending topics: Huang Kai made a mistake and made a series of errors, which may result in him getting the lowest score in the first episode of the singing competition!
boom!
Jiang Youwei slammed her hand on the table, instantly enraged: "He deliberately came in last place, he wanted to beat Yu Qingwan!"
Damn it, you dare to tamper with my show? You're asking for it!
Do you really think I'm a pushover?!
DiYu Entertainment is stirring up trouble and harassing people on Weibo's trending topics, but Jiang Youwei has no say in it.
But directly colluding with the guests on her show crossed her bottom line.
Jiang Youwei rushed towards the door, but Xu Yuan grabbed her and pulled her down towards him, bumping into him.
Jiang Youwei was right; they really are soft-hearted.
Xu Yuan helped Jiang Youwei up: "Don't get agitated, we can handle it. You can take this opportunity to see what kind of monsters are in your group. This time it's not fatal, but next time, and the time after that... there's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
???
Jiang Youwei initially thought that Xu Yuan's calm demeanor was due to his physical condition; he was weak and unable to get excited.
But now it seems he was very confident!
By the way, Yu Qingwan was not affected by the trending topics and revelations from beginning to end, as if she had been prepared in advance.
She kept humming a song, the melody of which was quite unfamiliar. What song was it?
Is it...
"As expected of you, senior! I'll be counting on you this time." Jiang Youwei straightened her collar slightly, blew Xu Yuan a kiss, and turned to leave.
……
At 10 o'clock, the scores were announced on stage.
Huang Kai ranked last.
Viewers of the live stream left numerous comments:
[It's such a pity, Huang Kai's strength is actually only in the middle range.]
[Live streaming the entire event was such a high-profile event that even professional singers got nervous and made mistakes.]
Wait a minute, doesn't this mean Huang Kai will be going up against Yu Qingwan?
[Yu Qingwan infringes on someone else's work by singing it, and then tries to challenge them? How shameless!]
[As expected of Yu Tianhou, her bullying skills are unparalleled; I would call her "Yu the Tyrant"]
[It is recommended that he be completely banned from the internet and never allowed to make a comeback.]
The rhythm of the comments was clearly off; of the 100,000 digital users of DiYu Media, at least half of them were at work today.
Faced with such a deadly triangular attack involving the industry, programs, and netizens, almost no celebrity can escape unscathed.
Offstage, Jiang Youwei was going through the program's flow: "Huang Kai, what song have you chosen to respond to the challenge?"
Huang Kai gave a wicked smile: "White!"
The scene erupted in excitement.
"White," the song "White" that Yu Qingwan sang infringing copyright!
[Huang Kai is really slapping people in the face!]
[The key is that even the diva doesn't have any songs to sing.]
[This is too tragic. If I were Yu Tianhou, I wouldn't even have the face to go on stage.]
[It can be said that the execution was public]
Huang Kai then began his performance.
That was a much better performance than his previous one.
The other guests had by then figured it out.
Such a close-up look at "capital hunting and massacring of divas" inevitably evokes a sense of shared sorrow, as those who have been, are, or will be treated in the same way in the past.
Veteran singer Zhao Zhigao: "Trying this to a woman is like shortening her lifespan!"
Sweet Song Princess Zhang Xiaosi: "In less than three months, a once-renowned diva has fallen into such a tragic state."
Independent creator Zhou Bowen: "This industry has always been like this. The judgment against plagiarism and infringement is clearly a matter of justice, yet it has been turned into a weapon to harm people by some!"
Of course, they all turned off their microphones before saying these things.
Soon, Yu Qingwan took the stage.
She wore a gray gauze dress with a black robe with a hood over it.
His face was hidden in the shadow of his hat.
A somber accompaniment then began.
Huang Kai's expression changed; he hadn't expected Yu Qingwan to actually dare to sing.
Does she have any songs?
What's going on? Is Yu Tianhou really going to become a ruthless copyright infringement offender?
[Once this song is performed, her temporary ban will probably become a permanent one, right?]
Why bother? It'll only make things cool down faster.
It's impossible that a songwriter who isn't registered with the association could write an original song for her in such a short time, right?
Even so, this song is probably still pretty awful.
They were all brave.
"The scar on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made."
There's no need to hide anything.
"Your worn-out doll, your mask, your ego."
Amidst a sea of questions, Yu Qingwan spoke.
The singers and guests immediately perked up.
As professionals, they recognized the song's exceptional quality.
Beneath this melody, it's as if a monster is imprisoned, filling one with both anticipation and fear.
Moreover, the lyrics seem to have a hidden meaning.
What should we bravely face?
There's no need to hide anything.
Is it DiYu?
Does she really dare?
