The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 113 "Fake Love" Orchestra, Platform

"Ah Xi! How can you still laugh when something like this happens to you, little brat?"

Jin Dae-woo paced back and forth anxiously. He nervously reminded, "Please be serious. This is different from the scandals and black material in the past. If you are involved, you will be ruined!!!"

He was just talking excitedly when his phone rang. He answered the call and replied a few words. Then, with a gloomy face, he kicked the stone under his feet and said, "Damn it! These bastards! They are really good at changing their attitude according to the situation!"

"What's wrong?" Gong Cheng wanted to explain to him, to calm him down, and that men should be more profound. But the man's words came out like a machine gun, and he couldn't stop at all.

"YG and many small entertainment companies have withdrawn their invitations to produce songs. Some artists also wanted to invite you to collaborate on songs... but they all withdrew." Jin Dae-woo cursed indignantly. The matter has not been concluded yet!
Can't these bastards just change course right away?
Fortunately, the company did not accept any invitation from any company, otherwise I would be really depressed.

"Where's SM?" Gong Cheng asked casually. SM has done things like changing with the wind many times, so why didn't he hear their names this time?

"SM hasn't withdrawn any invitations. On the contrary, they've become even more interested in having you produce songs for Red Velvet." Kim Daewoo said in surprise, "I guess it's because of Bombardment Meteor. Lay is still an SM artist, and this Bombardment Meteor is a joint production of our four companies. If anything goes wrong, no one will be happy."

Gong Cheng nodded, then reclined back in his chair, smiling broadly, "Alright, brother, don't worry. Don't worry, the arrangement of this song isn't plagiarized at all. Whether it's the 'Fake Love' version or the orchestral version circulating online, they're all my compositions."

"Call Brother Zhenying. He's probably going to be really pissed off."

"What? You mean you wrote the song in the video too?" Jin Dae-woo didn't rush to report to the president, but looked at him in shock. He hadn't expected this to be such a complete farce!

"Yes, when the song was written in September, I actually wrote two versions. But the orchestral version in the video doesn't quite fit the theme of 'Fake Love' and what I wanted to express. It just so happened that the National Day in China was approaching at that time, so I thought it was quite appropriate, so I anonymously sent the song to the relevant departments." Gong Cheng smiled and explained. He had come up with this idea on the spur of the moment, and he also watched the video of the National Day military parade later.

It also included this song, which was quite fitting. I guess the video wasn't widely circulated at the time, and Bombardment Meteor's "Fireworks are eternal" album wasn't released until October 25th, so it didn't get a big response.

Yesterday, the launch of China's Long March 5 was accompanied by this version of the orchestral music. In addition, Bombardment Meteor became a huge hit in Asia after the release of their album, so some people brought it out for comparison, leading to the accusation of plagiarism.

"Ah, why didn't you tell the company about this?" After learning the whole story, Jin Dae-woo breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening. Then, thinking about how YG and the other companies had just acted according to the situation, he couldn't help but curse again: "Those bastards! Are you dumbfounded?"

"Hey brother, I told you to keep it anonymous! I guess apart from the leaders of relevant domestic departments, few people know about this." Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly while browsing the comments about this matter on the Internet.

It’s quite lively!
"Shit! I knew that bastard Gong Cheng couldn't create such a great work! Plagiarism!"

"Can't you plagiarizing bastard just die? It's shameful!"

"Kkk~ Bombing meteor? How did you blow yourself up?!"

"Fuck you! The guy above! How could Oppa plagiarize? Just wait, JYP's clarification will be here soon! You guys, beware of the lawyer's letter!"

"Can you please just stop being such a braindead fan? Is there something wrong with your ears? You say you didn't plagiarize with such overlapping audio tracks?!"

"And judging by the release dates, the version in the video is clearly older! Some of the music used in other videos appeared as early as last month or the beginning of the month!"

"..."

"Should we clarify this now? The online rumors of plagiarism are getting louder and louder!" Jin Dae-woo asked after reporting the whole story to Park Jin-young on the other end of the phone. He was worried that this label would have a negative impact on Gong Cheng.

……

Shenzhen, at 7:00 in the evening,

Chen Xianya, who was sitting on the sofa, was holding her mobile phone with a grim expression, climbing over the wall to talk to someone online.

How could those idiots on the peninsula believe everything they hear? They just keep gloating over other people's misfortunes and slandering their own Gong Cheng oppa without restraint.

Although the soundtrack of the video circulating on the Internet is indeed highly similar to the song "Fake Love" composed by Oppa, his company has not made any statement yet, okay?
These little haters are jumping to conclusions so early! Why didn't JYP, the idiot, clarify things for Oppa right away?
"Good evening, dear audience! This is the News Broadcast."

Listening to the news broadcast on TV day after day and year after year, Chen Xianya called out, "Dad, turn down the volume!"

Father Chen was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, ignoring his precious daughter.

"The main content of today's 'News Broadcast' is the successful launch of the Long March 5..." The host on TV introduced the content of today's broadcast slowly and with a smile.

Originally, Chen's father did not turn down the volume of the broadcast, which made Chen Xianya unhappy. She put on her slippers and prepared to go back to her bedroom to deal with those stupid little bitches on the Internet!

When she returned to the bedroom, she turned on her phone and accidentally touched a video app. She was about to swipe away when she found that the voice in the video mentioned the words Bombardment Meteor and Tarot. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and then watched the video carefully.

The account that posted it was an official account.

"Tarot..." The voice in the video flashed Gong Cheng's name.

Chen Xianya suddenly became excited. She quickly returned her phone to the forum and posted a message on the Tarot fan forum: "Sisters, please take a look at xxxxx. Oppa has been mentioned by the relevant departments!"

Then she went to all the major fan groups on QQ and tagged all the members.

After finishing all this, she returned the video.

On the screen, a soothing voice continued the introduction: "The Peninsula limited-edition boy band Bombardment Meteor, which has recently taken Asia by storm, includes two Chinese nationals: Gong Cheng and Zhang Yixing. It's understood that they have a large fan base both in China and abroad..."

Amid the broadcast, some of Gong Cheng's wonderful and eye-catching parts in the MV, as well as the sound of the title song "Fake Love" flashed across the screen.

"The first album 'Fireworks are eternal' broke many sales records and MV hit records upon its release..."

"This includes the recent viral video soundtrack, which many netizens have dubbed as the orchestral version of 'Fake Love,' which has also led to Tarot being embroiled in a plagiarism controversy..."

"In response, relevant departments stated that the arrangement of this re-edition of the orchestral version was also composed by Tarot Gong Cheng. As early as the end of September, Tarot anonymously sent this version of the song to the relevant departments. The epic and magnificent movement makes people feel as if they are in the medieval dynasty where power changes. According to Tarot himself, this is a gift to celebrate the motherland's birthday. Positive energy artists and patriotic sentiments need to be spread and are worthy of praise..."

"I told you, how could Oppa plagiarize!!!" Chen Xianya jumped up on the sofa excitedly, especially when she heard that both versions of the song were composed by Gong Cheng alone, she danced with joy!
"This is Tarot's gift to the world of music, and music itself is his greatest confidence on his journey forward..."

As the video gradually came to an end, Chen Xianya spoke incoherently: "This is amazing! Oppa! The relevant departments have personally clarified it!"

Then she remembered the chattering little bitches on the Internet and quickly uploaded the saved video: "I said Oppa didn't plagiarize! Both songs were composed by Oppa! Haters, speak up!"

……

Following the clarification from the relevant department accounts, the latest news about Tarot plagiarism was circulated everywhere on the Internet!
Kuroko Speaks!!!

The greatest work in KPOP history!

The official personally supports Tarot and denies plagiarism allegations!

"Can JYP just go to hell? The country's officials have personally supported it, and you guys are just now issuing clarifications? Are you trying to destroy Gong Cheng oppa?"

Tarot...

"You bastard JYP! You good-for-nothing! You don't care about Oppa at all! Why didn't you speak out and clarify right away?"

"I came here through a VPN and read the official introduction. I didn't expect that such a mournful symphony in a domestic video was actually composed by an artist who is only 20 years old. Awesome! I'm a fan!"

"Holy crap! Chinese people! The more I look at Tarot's past, the more awesome he seems! He actually made a solo debut in Korea with a green card! And he even formed such a sad group!"

"I listened to Tarot's songs, including those of the group. Even though I don't understand Korean, the melodies are really catchy! He's quite handsome... Plus, with his composing skills, why doesn't he return to China with such good conditions? Isn't he much better than those guys in Pao San?"

"What are you waiting for if you don't come back to make money?"

"I'm hooked! I saw Tarot's photo on the relevant department's account and fell in love... He's so handsome... I've never been a fan, and I don't know much about Peninsula or K-pop, but I really like Gong Cheng Oppa!"

“When will you come to the domestic activities?”

"Positive energy! Officials personally endorsed! Love it~ Already ordered ten albums, the songs are great! Like it!"

"This is outrageous~ I just watched the video of the relevant departments clarifying Oppa with my mom. After watching it, my mom insisted on asking me if I was a fan of Gong Cheng Oppa. She was originally against me being a fan, especially of K-pop, because she was worried about me having to go abroad for fan meetings and concerts. But now she actually wants to snatch Gong Cheng from me~ Ah, what should I do sisters! But we agreed that she will accompany me to the next fan meeting of Oppa~"

“…”In JYP, Gong Cheng had just returned to the company and came to Park Jin Young’s office.

I haven't seen him much these past two days, but he seems to be looking more energetic. I heard he's been busy in the liaison office lately, preparing for the year-end awards ceremony.

"It's true. Your fans are almost cursing me and the company to death." Park Jin Young stood at the window sill, looked down at the banners cursing him, and smiled. "However, this incident, after your domestic platform, has completely gone viral and attracted quite a few Chinese fans."

"The album's sales have seen a sharp increase in the middle-loss ratio~"

He didn't take the fans who cursed him downstairs to heart. On the contrary, it made him feel at ease, and it also just showed how popular the name Tarot was in the Peninsula and even in Asia!

He also hoped that next year the company would move into a new building, the president's office would be built higher, there would be more fans downstairs, and the shouting and cursing would be louder.

"Brother Zhenying, why do I see you looking both happy and sad?" Gong Cheng joked with a smile. He hadn't expected the domestic support. When the orchestral version of "Fake Love" was initially sent to the relevant departments in China, he didn't think much of it.

I didn't expect that someone would create a plagiarism scandal, but it also unexpectedly brought me a lot of fans in China. After all, the population base of the peninsula is not comparable to that of China!
"Brother, I'm going back to the composing room first. I finally have some free time, and I have to hurry up and finish the OST for "Goblin." Seeing that his brother had been laughing for a long time and couldn't utter a word, Gong Cheng offered to leave.

"Then go get busy." Park Jin Young retreated from the window to the sofa, waved his hand with a smile, and then looked at Gong Cheng's back as he left. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Xiao Cheng, I believe you will get more, because no matter how much you get, you deserve it!"

He had, of course, watched Gong Cheng's first music show last night. Even though he knew he'd win the first-place trophy, the moment he actually saw him holding it, he couldn't help but feel excited, just like the first time he laid eyes on the kid. He'd always believed that the name Tarot would be a prominent part of his future biography...

……

"When I close my eyes~"

"..."

"It seems like fate has destined me to fall for you~"

"You're calling me again~"

Gong Cheng was thinking about the script of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" in his mind, and was typing away on the keyboard to write the lyrics for the song.

"It started to feel strange from the first time I saw you~"

"The time of destiny is slowly slipping away again~"

"..."

"My heart started pounding again~"

"..."

After typing the last line of lyrics and the song title "Stay With Me", Gong Cheng listened to the arrangement and the lyrics on the screen and hummed along.

He thought the song's first half, with its more soothing lyrics, could be sung by a female vocalist, with him rapping. The emotional engagement of the duet would better capture the sense of destiny between Kim Seung-hee and Ji Eun-tak, as depicted in the "Goblin" storyline.

Afterwards, Gong Cheng restarted the next page of the document, and with his eyes flickering, he typed the title of the song "Shower".

The inspiration for this song stems from a question that the members of Bombardment Meteor have been avoiding these days. Everyone knows that the members may only have one month left to spend together to promote their new song.

The limited date for the group is said to be half a year, but after this month's promotions, everyone has to catch up with their own schedules. The next time they meet will be at the major award ceremonies at the end of the year. By then, it will be a matter of the group announcing their final destination.

Gong Cheng didn't want to speculate about the unknown future, so he wrote this song with an overall lyrical style.

"If this rain~"

"Pour it on your head~"

"It will definitely get soaking wet, right?"

"..."

"Let's not stop here~"

"Let everything stop~"

"..."

Halfway through writing, Gong Cheng stopped his fingers on the keyboard. He didn't want to write anymore because he was tired.

He missed his members a little, so he got up, put on his coat, and went downstairs to Twice's practice room. Sure enough, the nine members were practicing dancing, preparing for their comeback in the middle of the month.

The members of Twice were already accustomed to his "visits", not to mention that this oppa was so busy these past two days that he could hardly be found.

They still miss it...

The song "TT" is playing from the speakers. They had already recorded all the tracks in the album as early as last month, but the company's decision postponed the comeback date.

"Mina, lift your legs a little higher..."

"Sana-chan, can you please be a little more careful?"

"Tzuyu, stop slacking off..."

"Lin Nayeon, aren't you a big star? Why is your singing so bad?"

"..."

Gong Cheng picked up the orange juice with a smile and took two sips, while staring at the members' dance. When anyone made a mistake in the dance, he pointed out the problem righteously.

"Dahyun, come on, you're the best!"

"Chaeyoung, smile!"

"..."

On the floor in the middle of the practice room, Ming Jingnan danced with her flexible body to the beat, while looking at Gong Cheng who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, more arrogant than the president, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Miya Makoto ignored Minatozaki Sana's wink and instead accepted the eye roll from Najing Minami.

Read it more, love it!
"Lin Nayeon, why did you dance wrong again?"

Gong Cheng happily teased Tu Ya who was standing in the center position.

"Ah! Can you shut up!" Lin Nayeon glared at him speechlessly, and accidentally bumped into Minatozaki Sana while moving. The two rubbed their heads, looked at each other, and laughed.

Even though there was an annoying guy next to me who was constantly making trouble, why did I suddenly feel relaxed?

"Okay, okay, let's take a break!" Park Ji-hyo smiled, took a deep breath, clapped her hands, and signaled everyone to stop and rest for a while.

Minatozaki Sana immediately clenched her fists, ready to give the bad guy who was making trouble on the sofa a good beating!

Where did I go wrong? All the movements in the mirror are clearly perfect, okay?
But the tall figure of the maknae suddenly stood in front of her and walked straight towards Gong Cheng.

Zhou Ziyu smiled and said, "Oppa, you guys are super popular now! My mom knows about you guys, Bombardment Meteor. She even asked me last night if I knew you. She's almost become your fan!"

As she spoke, she curled her lips in jealousy: "She knows that you and I are colleagues, and she said she would come to see me in two days and ask for your autograph..."

Brothers, please support me with monthly tickets. I want to reach 1000 monthly tickets this month. Thank you!
