Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 760 The mountain man has a clever plan!

Liu Min did learn to play the trumpet, but she stopped playing in high school. After that, she never thought that she would pick up this skill again, but now, looking at the wheel on the stage like a beam of light, she decided to find it and give it a try.

As for how Wang Chengcheng understood it, she didn't want to think about it.

BJ, Ma Yuan has not gone home yet, he is watching "Summer of the Band" with a group of colleagues in the company. Because the effect of "Summer of the Band" directly determines the strength of the album promotion after the show ends.

Originally, according to the popularity of the previous issue, there would be no shortage of resources for this issue, but the publicity department gave the following advice: "Bian Lang does not appear in this issue. If the effect is slightly worse, just save some money..." After all, promoting on other platforms and competing with the other two for users also have costs.

If the effect is 1+1 greater than 2 when there are side waves, they think it is a transitional situation, so they will save as much as possible. After all, the investment of companies like Goose Egg is not ordinary!
Therefore, we not only need to look at the data to make judgments, but also need Ma Yuan, the music director, to make predictions with a focus on musicality.

Before the Exodus performance, Ma Yuan was still struggling mentally. After all, for his personal preference, he hoped to increase the promotion of "Summer of the Band".

He had listened to the songs several times, but when he didn't know how the live performance would go, he couldn't give too obvious biased opinions. But as soon as the stage of "My Exodus" came out, he had a good idea in his mind.

Looking at the two topics that have already become trending searches, #Bian Lang Becomes a God in "Summer of the Band"# and #The Rolling Stones' Debut Accident#, he feels that even if he doesn't say anything, others will know how to give their opinions.

So later he used his mobile phone to find the live broadcast room of the Rolling Stones with better sound reception, put on the earphone in one ear and started multitasking.

When he heard it was a new song, he focused all his attention on the Rolling Stones' special performance.

Although he still couldn't understand it clearly, he heard the trumpet part and the chorus.

"Famous rock, this song may be popular, but it will take a long time for the Rolling Stones to record and release it. The sound quality of this live song will definitely not be very good, alas..."

He had just finished sighing when someone called him, "Boss Ma, listen to Summer of the Band! How come this song by Haigui is so similar to Li Yiliang and his group's Ode to Loneliness?"

"Mr. Turtle's 'Boys Don't Cry'?" Ma Yuan blurted out almost instinctively.

After getting the affirmation, he put on the headphones on the computer and started looking for "Ode to Loneliness".

He had a deep impression of the song "Boys Don't Cry" and could hum several verses just by hearing the name. But this "Ode to Loneliness" was the first time he even heard the name.

But when he saw the MV edited from the footage shot by Tu Ling and his team in Wa Mountain, he stopped the mouse that was about to switch browser pages. Although the relationship between this video and the song creation was not explicitly stated, this combination seemed to be saying: "This is the source of inspiration for the song creation."

He also felt that if this was true, then the meaning of this episode and this song would be even more different.

When listening to Tu Ling singing cheerfully: "Boy, don't cry, orphan of the beautiful world..." Ma Yuan closed his eyes, crossed his legs and began to enjoy himself, a colleague began to shout: "Hey, is this intentional? Mr. Ma, look..."

Before Ma Yuan could respond, someone reminded him, "This is a screen recording. Don't you know that Mr. Ma never opens the comment section?"

At this time, comments like "plagiarism of "Ode to Loneliness"" began to appear in large numbers on the barrage of comments on the small broken station.

Of course the first people to discover it were the staff of the station, but they had received early warning from the Rolling Stones, so of course they knew what to do!
That is to let these people make as much noise as they can! Even if the effect is not good, they can add fuel to the fire behind the scenes!

As for the bloggers that Rolling Stone had hired earlier, they are all feeling terrified as they see the number of online viewers starting to soar dramatically during this period!
"Thunder in the Blue" also received a task from the Rolling Stones this time. As a professional technical expert, he didn't even need any advice from the Rolling Stones. He made the analysis video according to his own ideas and is now waiting for the group to release it.

At this time, someone in the group @ him: "Landmine man, if we do that, how will the other side fight back?"

Thunderclaps in the sky: "I'm not called Land Mine Man, you can call me Thunder or Thunder Son!"

"Okay, mine man!"

"Copy that, mine man!"

He shook his head helplessly, and then replied with a thunderbolt: "We have already seen the evidence of the Rolling Stones, so the other party's means are nothing but false accusations, and they can't produce any substantial evidence. It's nothing more than Li Yiliang bringing up his friendship with Langshen over the past ten years!"

"Damn! That's a clever move. Doesn't it mean that as long as it's Bian Lang's song, it's only natural for Li Yiliang to plagiarize or copy it?"

"EMMM, his face shows that he is a black and red person, shameless. Doesn't it mean the higher the popularity, the more it suits his heart? Then isn't it wrong for us to do these things?"

"Do you think those brain trusters at Rolling Stone are dumber than you?"

"True, but I am just worried about Lang Shen! He was originally the victim, but now he is being scolded. If it were me, I would have to kill Li Yiliang directly!"

While everyone was talking, the PR of this group spoke: "@Everyone, tell everyone about the subsequent data maintenance: the purpose is to irritate Li Yiliang, and it would be best to make this guy have a fragile heart and come out to play. Keep an eye on your own comment area. Anyone who captures a screenshot of a comment from Li Yiliang's social account will receive a basic reward of 1000R.

If someone intercepts his account and directly points out that "Boys Don't Cry" plagiarizes "Ode to Loneliness" and provides relevant analysis and evidence, a reward will be given based on the effect, starting from W! There is no upper limit! ! ! ! There is no upper limit! ! ! The upper limit is the bottom limit! ! ! "

Upon seeing this news, the first person to jump out and joked: "Group leader, look how excited you are that you even typed the last few words wrong!"

"It's all fine as long as you understand what I mean! Anyway, it's up to you all to perform well at that time, so don't hold back, your account security issues will be covered!"

After giving such a guarantee, the people in the group basically had no scruples. Sometimes, the amount of money is not the most important thing for these bloggers. What they care about most is their own account!
The bloggers that Rolling Stone chose to hire are not those entertainment marketing accounts that only do things for money. They are all people with real talents in the music field on major social platforms.

Take Dilei Lao for example, although he is not the top of the small broken station in terms of the number of fans, he is a professional and is very good at using various audio software. According to Olaf, "This person's software application technology and ideas are better than mine. If he is willing to come to Rolling Stone to be my assistant, I think it is possible to train another top music producer for Rolling Stone."

These bloggers have one thing in common, that is, they are all proud of themselves, they don't make any money, they have their own set of value standards, and they all lean towards the Rolling Stones. For them, account security is the first priority! And they believe that the Rolling Stones have the ability to protect them!

At this time, Bai Dao jumped out: "I have explained it so clearly, everyone should understand it. Landmine man, your software analysis here is the most professional, and my mouth is the most vicious. If you need support, just call me in the group! As long as Li Yiliang's grandson shows up, we will kill him..."

"Roger that!"

"Okay, Brother Dao!"

At this time, Li Yiliang was in the lounge of Fanhua, holding his phone and looking at the comments. His body was shaking, and he didn't know whether it was because of excitement or anger. Because after the wave of accusations that "Boys Don't Cry" was plagiarized, comments scolding him also flooded out.

After all, among the people watching "Summer of the Band", the number of die-hard fans of the Rolling Stones accounts for a considerable proportion. They all know very well the time when "Boys Don't Cry" was first released. It was the video that Liangzi released on the earlier "Rock Sauna".

At that time, "The Voice of China" had not yet started recording. Not to mention whether this act of plagiarism is legally valid, even the timing of its appearance cannot be faked.

Music fans don’t care how this matter is finally characterized, but they cannot just allow Li Yiliang’s internet trolls to guide public opinion and confuse right and wrong.

Li Yiliang and his group were not the only ones at Fanhua tonight. Xiang Kun and Zhu Wen also came. They came to watch Li Yiliang specifically to prevent him from doing anything that would damage the plan.

Looking at his trembling body, Zhu Wen nudged Li Yiliang with his elbow, handed him a cigarette and said, "Be patient, wait for public opinion to ferment for a while before you post the video!"

Li Yiliang waved his hand to refuse the Zhongnanhai that Zhu Wen handed over, took out his own Red River cigarette and put it in his mouth, and said word by word: "I will make everyone understand that Bian Lang is actually the hypocritical villain. The music he created now is nothing more than stealing my previous demos!"

Looking at Li Yiliang like this, Zhu Wen muttered in his heart: "This guy is so cruel, it's hard to tell whether he is real or fake in his acting!"

Although what Li Yiliang just said is what Zhu Wen wants fans to believe the most, but after being in this circle for so long, he still has some ability to distinguish. If Li Yiliang really has this ability, why would he be beaten without any ability to fight back in the early days of Bian Lang's rise?

This circle is dirty, but with that kind of heat, as long as Li Yiliang can come up with even one song that can compare with Bian Lang's, he will definitely not end up being condemned by everyone.

He even wondered if Li Yiliang was mentally ill...

But even if he is mentally ill, that is not what Zhu Wen needs to worry about. What he cares about is how much negativity Li Yiliang's behavior will bring to the Rolling Stones, and how much benefit his Magic Disc can get from it!

When it comes to loyalty among rock fans, there is absolutely nothing to complain about.

But if the band really touches their bottom line, they will turn hostile faster than women, and they will never tolerate infidelity again.

Among them, song plagiarism is the most unbearable thing for them!
Similarly, if this happened to Li Yiliang, it would have the same effect, but their target fan group at the beginning was not rock fans, but those internet trolls and keyboard warriors who listened to pop songs.

This logic may sound ridiculous, but such cases are everywhere in real life!
Take the real event of the original earth for example. After the song "Meteor" became popular, many people who thought that the moon was rounder in foreign countries accused Zheng Jun of plagiarism. They were unwilling to learn more about the fact that the song was authorized by Zheng Jun to adapt it.

As for Xu Wei's "Blue Bird" and Naruto's "Blue Bird", it's even more speechless. Not to mention the composition, the song titles are directly translated, but there are "Naruto" fans in China who still accuse Xu Wei of plagiarism...

Of course, there are also some who whitewashed it and said that the biology section chief was more powerful. Regardless of whether he plagiarized or not, Xu Wei should thank him...

Even the Japanese musicians couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out to ask the biology chief's company to show the copyright cooperation documents. However, the domestic comic fans still insisted, "How is it possible! Shippuden is my youth!"

Of course, Bian Lang didn't know whether Xu Wei went to defend his rights later. But in his previous life, he really didn't hear Xu Shao Nian say anything about this matter. Maybe he didn't care at all.

But Bian Lang was very angry and even went to the forum to argue with those kids, but in the end his posts were deleted and he was banned from speaking.

As for taking legal action, since Li Yiliang dared to do it, it proved that he must have found a loophole. So Zhu Wen just waited for this matter to continue to ferment.

Let's go back to Ma Yuan. After watching the MV of "Boys Don't Cry", he was already thinking about how to use his trumpet to boost the value of this song when his colleague showed him the screen recording with the barrage.

It didn't matter that he saw this, he almost got so angry that his mouth was crooked!

Now he didn't care to watch the content of the live broadcasts on both sides: "What's the name of Li Yiliang's crappy song?"

"Ode to Solitude!"

"He even borrowed the artistic conception of the lyrics. Li Yiliang is really promising!"

After cursing, he found the song and listened to it, then picked up his guitar and played it over and over again. He was so angry that he laughed, "This guy is really good. He deliberately washed it like this. Even if he is brought to court, he will not be in trouble!"

After hearing this, those in the company who had no idea what song plagiarism meant asked, "Boss Ma, what do you mean?"

"It sounds exactly the same, but only one note is changed every two bars. If you say it's plagiarism with more than 8 bars of similarity, the Rolling Stones will never win even if they want to sue!"

There is nothing wrong with what Ma Yuan said. The scale of the two words "similar" is enough for the lawyers on both sides to argue for a year or two. This is also the conclusion that Bian Lang came to after listening to "Ode to Loneliness".

But when Zhang Fan told Zhuang Xian about Bian Lang's idea of ​​trying to save face, Zhuang Xian said calmly, "It's hard to get any results from arguing about these eight bars, but this is not the only evidence of plagiarism... If Bian Lang wants to sue, just come and sign the agency contract. I have a plan!"
