Chapter 166 Falling Into Controversy
Cube Entertainment, there is a girl waiting in Zhu Ziren's personal studio.

"Hello Miss Li Yizhen, I'm BM."

Zhu Ziren, who came in a hurry, introduced himself hastily, and then sat down on the sofa, acting as if I was very busy and didn't want to talk too much.

"Ah, hello." Li Yizhen greeted quickly, "I am a singer trainee who just joined Cube Entertainment, Li Yizhen."

"I know you are Li Yizhen, but I got someone to recruit you here." Zhu Ziren smiled gently, "I have seen your singing video, and I think you have the potential to become a very good singer, so I specially recruited you. You alone."

First, he was shocked by this person's rude attitude, and now he was pointed out on the face by someone who pointed out that I dug you here. The poor trainee Li Yizhen was so dizzy that he could only nod his head foolishly.

"Well, thank you for the compliment."

Seeing this, Zhu Ziren didn't intend to do any more fancy things, and directly took a sheet of music from the drawer and handed it to her to continue his offensive.

"Do you understand it? If you understand it, sing a little bit for me."

"what?"

Li Yizhen was taken aback by this out-of-the-ordinary trick, and stretched out his hand blankly for a while, wondering whether he should take it or not.

"It's just a simple ability test." Zhu Ziren reassured: "Or, do you think the environment here is not good? Then we can go to the recording studio."

Li Yizhen came back to her senses and nodded quickly: "Then let's go to the recording studio, it's the first time we meet, I have to behave well."

"Well, let's go with me."

……

"Don't have the full lyrics?"

When they arrived at the recording studio, Li Yizhen had a problem with the score.

"Well, I wrote this part, and I haven't had time to find a lyricist for the rest, so I can only ask you to make do with it." Zhu Ziren showed an embarrassed look for the first time, "You can fill in the blank part as you like." Just fill it up with all kinds of onomatopoeia and sing it out."

"All right."

Li Yizhen adjusted the microphone, put on the earphones and prepared to follow Zhu Ziren's instructions.

Zhu Ziren brought the monitoring equipment in the recording studio.

"Then let's get started."

The pleasant singing voice soon rang out in the room. Even though there was no sample, and even though it was the first time he saw the score, Li Yizhen still performed very well.

"How are you feeling?"

Li Yizhen, who came out of the recording room, anxiously waited for Zhu Ziren's evaluation, and even unconsciously used high-level honorifics in the South Korean language.

Zhu Ziren nodded approvingly: "It's good. Although there are a few minor problems, it should be caused by not being familiar with the score. Your breath, singing, and timbre with obvious personal characteristics are all very good."

"Ah, thank you for the compliment." Li Yizhen handed the score back with both hands respectfully, "I return this to you. Is it your new work? It's really a good work."

"It's my new work, that's right, but you don't have to return it to me." Zhu Ziren pushed the score back, "Now it's yours, after I find a good lyricist to compose it, you will officially write it down." Sing this song."

"No. This." Li Yizhen was dumbfounded, "Is it really okay to give me such a precious thing when we first meet?!"

"It is indeed a very precious thing, but it is just right for you." Zhu Ziren nodded with a smile, "Just accept it. Apart from you, Cube Entertainment has no one who is suitable to sing this song."

Zheng Eundi is fine, but Zhu Ziren doesn't want her to stand out too much.

A few days ago, because of the salary she received as a trainee, she has gained a lot of popularity. If she gives a song alone, I am afraid that Eunji will become the Hyuna among Ah fans.

So Zhu Ziren didn't lie in his last sentence, and now only Li Yizhen is suitable to sing this.

"Ah, then I accept it gratefully." Li Yizhen carefully put the sheet music into her arms, "Does this song have a name? Or should I wait for the lyrics to come out?"

"It has a name." Zhu Ziren narrowed his eyes slightly, with a gentle expression on his face, "This song already had a name before this sheet music was born, and it was called "Close to You Like the First Snow"."

……

Using a song that originally belonged to Li Yizhen made her into a mess, even ignoring the most important artist's road plan.Zhu Ziren's work has been successfully concluded this morning.

"Oops, gotta go home and check out the reviews for 'Running Man'. It must have been rave reviews, I can't wait!"

Zhu Ziren thought happily about the situation after returning home, but the bad news spread before he even left the gate.

"Lord PD, we seem to be caught in a plagiarism controversy." Jo Hyo-jin PD hurriedly called, "Currently the comments on the Internet are very unfavorable to us."

"Don't panic, tell me the specific situation first." Zhu Ziren responded calmly, "Where did this plagiarism controversy come from in the first place?"

"It was a question first raised by fans of the comic "Along with the Gods", and later the comic author Zhou Haomin also expressed his views on it. I won't say what I think, anyway, it's not good." Zhao Xiaozhen was a little anxious, " How should we deal with it?"

"What to do? What to do?" Zhu Ziren asked back: "Do you also think we plagiarized, Zhao PD?"

"I don't think we plagiarized at all!" Zhao Xiaozhen replied quickly and firmly this time, "Even if we insist on bringing in things that are impossible to beat, we only have a difference in the program structure of the trial and redemption. A little bit similar to that comic, there is no similarity in other content."

"But." Zhao Xiaozhen's attitude softened again, "Controversies on the Internet are unreasonable. If you get caught too deeply, it will be difficult to get out. This has nothing to do with whether we plagiarized or not. It is a matter of popular opinion among the audience. .”

"Hahahaha, don't panic, although people's hearts are really easy to fool, but this level is far from enough." Zhu Ziren said calmly, "You should eat, drink, and have fun. You don't have to do anything, wait for me Just go back and study the network situation and then send you a notification telling you what to do."

"You may see controversy, you may see insecurity, you may see big trouble. What I see is"

Zhu Ziren happily hung up the phone.

"Full of heat, the kind that can make us eat all at once!"

……

Back home, Zhu Ziren rolled up his sleeves while sitting in front of the computer.

"Come on, let me see which cutie is contributing to my popularity this time."

After a random search, the cartoonist Zhou Haomin was prominently featured on the headlines.

"Although it was mentioned by fans unintentionally, after watching the show, I also feel that it has some similarities with my comics. As the original author of "Along with the Gods", I hope I can get a reasonable explanation."

Zhu Ziren just smiled when he saw it.

"Hehe, the original author can't see how many things are related, can he? If you want to gain popularity, you can do it. This kind of hippy-like attitude is really disgusting!"

"I hope you can be more honest, otherwise, my uncle will give you a longer memory."
