The popularity of Douyin short videos has made many people see opportunities.

Compared with Weibo, its recommendation mechanism is more fair at the moment and allows people to have a clearer idea of ​​what kind of topics are more popular at the moment.

There isn't much publicity factor.

Someone figured out the traffic password based on the rankings.

Of course, the first place on the list is Lu Yang and Gu Qinghan, followed by "Singer", and finally the topic that I don't know how to become popular - why were there so many good songs in the past, but there are fewer good songs now?

In the past, this kind of topic would be deleted if posted on Weibo.

But now, Douyin is released.

Netizens are talking about it, and some people in the industry posted videos on Douyin.

In the video, he covered his face and revealed: "Many people on the Internet now say that there are many good songs in Jindian decades ago, but there are actually many reasons.

First, more than ten years ago, the degree of restoration of soft sound sources was too low. The production of songs relied on live recording by musicians and singers. The cost of each recording was extremely expensive, and the software and hardware at that time had not yet been able to produce editing and segmentation.

Therefore, the songs we heard at that time were all played by them at one time.

A song like that looks very simple, but behind the scenes it is the result of the singer and the team rehearsing for a long time. It is the most perfect presentation. In terms of music, it was indeed better before than now.

I saw some netizens saying that the current songs are not good.

This is not true.

The songs we are listening to now include some relatively good works, but after listening to them, they feel familiar and nothing new. The reason is ultimately that because of the Internet, today's music is too industrialized, no, it is simply an assembly line.

In fact, the music industrialization in Europe and the United States has been done very well, and the domestic industry is also pretty good, but the market determines the demand.

The employer requires high-efficiency mass production of lyrics, music, compilation and mixing. Their goal is to maximize profits. Many companies will acquire various demos on the Internet and even give standard answers - fixed melody directions, benchmark songs, and only accept hits.

For songs of this category, some extreme guys will ask the composers to directly copy the benchmark songs, and finally change the melody and say that they did not plagiarize.

What's funny is that the price of such music is often very high.

Some people pursue profits, which leads to the current situation, but the current situation is vaguely different.

"Singer" is out.

You can hear the melody on it and the songs that haven't been repeated much before. The singers are also strong. Everyone's singing style has their own style, and there is no sense of repetition.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, "Singer" is just a high-quality variety show that has discovered many talented singers, but in the eyes of our industry, or independent musicians, "Singer" has given the industry a new lease of life.

It stimulates the market to a certain extent and allows more people who make a living through music to make a living.

Rather than being occupied by capital's propaganda.

Thank you Lu Yang here."

Hehe, there is some scheming behind posting this video.

The focus was on the topic of "Why are there so few good songs now?" at the end, but the topic mentioned the program "Singer" and also mentioned Lu Yang.

It is a good idea to master the traffic password.

The concentration is so high that the video gets a huge exposure in a short period of time.

So netizens started “looking for it”.

Look at those so-called popular songs and see if the songs by artists and idols are similar in melody to previous songs. Although it is not plagiarism, there is no difference between the two songs.

"Report! A certain boy band's song some time ago has the same melody as Zhou Qiuyue's famous song "Autumn", so I didn't even change it after copying it!"

"Report! Ultrafather's Chinese-style songs have also been plagiarized several times. It almost made me, Ultrafather, bald."

"Report! Idol Lin Bo's best-selling song "Where Are You Going" is a plagiarism of Zhou Qiuyue's song "Wind". It does change the melody a bit, but you can still hear it if you listen carefully!"

Countless netizens used magnifying glasses to pick up the songs, tearing apart the false masks of countless idols and artists.

The false popularity in the past was just the tip of the iceberg. Entertainment companies have done so much in this area that it was not clear at all for a while.

It turns out that no one wanted to discuss it, firstly because the topic was not very popular, but also because the largest social platform at that time was a certain blog, and top-up could increase the popularity, plus there were a bunch of crazy fans who spent all the money they spent on their parents’ medical treatment for their brother.

, no one wants to make a mess.

But it’s different now, Douyin doesn’t have this restriction.

The entire entertainment industry is in chaos.

"The person you arranged?" Gu Qinghan pointed at the masked man on the video and said.

"I'm not that sinister."

Lu Yang shrugged, expressing his innocence, "If it were me, I would secretly set up a music account, the kind that shares music on Douyin every day for fans to enjoy and follow. When the time is right, I will slowly

Putting those people's songs together with the songs they copied, I won't explain it and let netizens think about it slowly. Someone will always find the hint."

"Then there's no need to hint now." Gu Qinghan asked, "What are you going to do?"

"You should tell me what to do about this." Lu Yang put the phone in front of Gu Qinghan.

It is the friend interface of WeChat. Because variety shows have become popular and many artists want to appear on the show, many people have come to add Lu Yang as friends recently. It is at the top of the friend addition list, and the remark information when adding friends is too eye-catching.

——Teacher Lu Yang Hello, I am Jiang Qi, the general manager of Shenchao Entertainment, and I want to buy the copyright of one of your songs.

"Let's do it. Let's do it." Gu Qinghan moved a small bench and sat next to Lu Yang. Her eyes were shining, clearly wanting to watch the show.

At the moment, the most exciting thing in the entertainment industry is when artists are suspected of plagiarism.

Netizens are beginning to dig deep themselves. Such things affect reputation, and those artists and idols are meant to eat from fame. The slightest black mark can affect their careers. Look at those who wear overalls to play basketball.

Brother Ji is the best proof.

What should I do to avoid being affected?

I can only clarify.

Some people are stubborn and always feel that plagiarism is too difficult to determine, insisting that their behavior does not constitute plagiarism according to the law. Some people will send a notice a few days later, wait until all preparations are complete, and then issue a clarification statement.

The so-called preparation is nothing more than making up for what has been done wrong, or using money to silence the "plaintiff".

The current Jiang Qi is the latter.

"Add friends, why are you standing there?" Gu Qinghan blinked, she just wanted to watch Lu Yang do something.

"No." Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, "Which song of mine did Shenchao Entertainment copy?"

"." Gu Qinghan sighed and said angrily, "Didn't you sing "Blue and White Porcelain" with me before? Although it was just an excerpt and the arrangement was not completed, the melody was copied, although they re-arranged it.

The music and lyrics are gone, but there are always people who can hear it.”

"Oh oh oh." Lu Yang still did not agree to the friend request. He exited the WeChat interface and asked: "Who is the singer of the plagiarized song? Let me hear what he sings."

"Jiang Cheng, the title of the song should be "Waiting for the Rain, I'm Waiting for You"."

What is this?

Lu Yang twitched his lips, knowing that those people were copying, but he didn't expect that those people would copy like this. In the clip of "Blue and White Porcelain" he released before, there was indeed a line like this: "The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain,

And I'm waiting for you", but.

Can this be used as a song title?

He searched the Internet and tried to listen.

Then

I can't stand it any longer.

He won't mention the copied melody. You can hear some traces of changes. Strictly speaking, it is definitely plagiarism. But this is no longer important. The important thing is - how can this guy transform the melody of a Chinese style song into a magical one?

Changed like this, there is no artistic conception at all in terms of lyrics, the melody has been slightly changed, from fragments to repetitions, and the arrangement is simply a hodgepodge, with all kinds of domestic classical instruments thrown in.

Just like a joke.

I knew I was listening to a song, but those who didn't know thought I had mistakenly entered a theater where people were practicing their voices everywhere.

"Those fans who can be picked out are undoubtedly true fans." Lu Yang shook his head and sighed: "This fucking song can make him change into such a crazy look, and there are actually people who can hear it!"

"Add friends, add friends!" Gu Qinghan couldn't restrain her desire to watch the show. She stretched out her finger to agree to the friend request on Lu Yang's phone.

"Hello, Teacher Lu Yang, I am Jiang Qi, the general manager of Shenchao Entertainment. I am very interested in the song "Unknown Song" you posted online recently. I just don't know if the teacher can support it. We are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it."

Gu Qinghan typed out words: "How much does it cost?"

"How about all the proceeds from this song belong to you? There is also the purchase fee for the song. Our company is willing to pay 20 million, and you can sing this song as usual. We just bought the copyright, and we will

Open the copyright to you."

"It's really a big price." Gu Qinghan smiled, "Twenty million is just the starting price, at least we can negotiate for a few more million, and people from their company sing, but all the profits go to us, which is equivalent to saying that they

I don’t want to make money, I just want to spend money to eliminate disasters!”

"So Jiangcheng has a high commercial value?" Lu Yang asked.

"Of course, Shenchao Entertainment has been in the entertainment industry for many years, following those guys, and it took a long time to create an idol. Most of the company's resources are devoted to one person, how can he not be valuable?

?" Gu Qinghan said, "That guy accepted a few commercials some time ago, and his song that copied "Blue and White Porcelain" was suddenly ranked in the top three of the single sales chart."

"I apologize!" Lu Yang raised his hand, "I apologize for what I just said. I shouldn't have said that my fans are true fans. These fans who listen to rubbish and still think about spending money for rubbish are true fans. Fans
