Chapter 67
For Shen Shu's second album, a gold medal producer known for his strictness was hired to work.
The production process progressed to the song recording stage in the later stage. Shen Shu got busy, soaking in the recording studio every day, listening to songs and singing repeatedly, striving to meet the producer's requirements and make a better album than "Adult Fairy Tale".
On this day, Shen Shu finished his work and received a call from his manager Guan Peng, saying that someone asked him to write a song.
Shen Shu has been composing music and lyrics for himself since the beginning of the book, and occasionally composing one or two theme songs for TV dramas, such as the ending song of "Happy Life", which is also an opportunity he took the initiative to fight for.
Shen Shu has always felt that the fact that a singer's name can appear in the lyrics and composition columns of songs sung by other singers is a great recognition of the singer's creative strength.
This was the first time someone asked him to write a song, so Shen Shu was very happy and proactive after hearing this. He put down the phone and rushed to the company immediately, intending to discuss the details with the other party.
The person who asked Shen Shu to write a song was Xing Yang, a popular singer and dancer in the entertainment circle, who is a top traffic idol with the same number of fans as Shen Shu.
In the past two years, Xing Yang has grown too old to dance, and tried to transform into a powerful group, but due to his poor acting skills, the way to act did not work out, so he had to follow the route of a singer-songwriter.
Guan Peng told Shen Shu about the situation and took him to meet Xing Yang himself who had been waiting in the living room.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xing Yang straightforwardly explained the reason why he asked Shen Shu to write a song: he wanted to use this song to win the annual most popular song award in next year's music chart, so as to improve his career.
When Shen Shu heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he won the award last year with "Nightingale", Xing Yang was among the opponents he defeated.
At that time, the song he nominated was called "happy ending".
Shen Shu admired such a talented singer very much, and felt a sense of sympathy for him. He immediately agreed to write a song for him, and said that the final price is negotiable.
Xing Yang said some of his views and suggestions on music, and Shen Shu took a notebook to write them down carefully to determine his suitable style of music and what he wanted to express.
Since Xing Yang plans to release the album at the end of July, he hopes to include this song in the new album as the second title song, so in the next two weeks, Shen Shu will push back the recording plan of his second album. After that, he devoted himself to the creation of the song.
The song creation process was not as smooth as Shen Shu imagined. After he wrote the lyrics and music, he communicated with Xing Yang repeatedly on the phone and revised it no less than ten times before finalizing the final version.
Because it was the first time to write a song for someone else, Shen Shu devoted more energy and effort to this song than all the songs in his own album.
On the day of handing over the song, the two met again in the reception room of Xingyi Entertainment.
After getting acquainted with each other, Shen Shu learned that Xing Yang's daily work was very full by the company, and seeing that he basically squeezed out time from his busy schedule, he said to him sincerely: "You let the assistant come to me. Just take the belt here, you don’t need to make a special trip by yourself.”
After hearing this, Xing Yang said embarrassedly: "How can it be, I ask you to write a song, of course you have to show your sincerity!"
Shen Shu was a little moved when he heard the words, and felt that his efforts were worthwhile, and he appreciated the person in front of him more and more.
He wanted to say that I won't charge the copyright fee for this song, and if I give it to you for free, I will treat it as a friend, but he was a little hesitant when he spoke, for fear of hurting Xing Yang's self-esteem as a top-notch.
He glanced up at Xing Yang, and found that the other party seemed to be struggling with something.
"Brother Shen, that, to be honest, I came here this time with a request, I hope you can agree." After a while, Xing Yang finally spoke.
Shen Shu nodded readily, motioning for him to continue.
In the next second, Xing Yang asked without blushing, "Brother Shen, I want to buy this song, and the creator will sign it by himself. Would you like it?"
"The price is negotiable, as long as it does not exceed seven figures, you can say as much as you want!"
Shen Shu: Damn it!I take back what I just wanted to say!
He took back the master tape that was on the table and handed to Xing Yang, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I think your face is too big, I suddenly don't want to give you this song, please leave on your own."
Xing Yang was stunned by his sudden change, didn't react, and asked in a daze, "What?"
The little flame of anger in Shen Shu's heart ignited.
He stood up abruptly, pointed at Xing Yang angrily, and said, "Damn it, I agreed to write a song for someone like you because I was blind. Get out, I'm not short of money!"
Xing Yang was pushed out of the conference room by Shen Shu, and he understood what he said belatedly, opened the door and cursed at Shen Shu who was sitting inside: "Shen Shu, what the hell are you dragging, you are just a draft pick Variety show cafe!"
"I can also write songs. Without you, I can win awards with my own songs!"
"It's just that you offended me today, let's wait and see later!"
Shen Shu didn't want to waste his life on this kind of rubbish, and he had already calmed down. Hearing this, he shrugged, turned around indifferently and said, "Okay, we'll see."
In August, Shen Shu and Xing Yang released digital albums one after the other.
The positioning of the two is different, the audience is different, and the fans basically have no intersection, so there is no conflict.
The 24-hour sales of Shen Shu's second album "Five Senses" exceeded one billion, breaking the daily sales record of online music platforms in the past five years.
The title song "Listening to the Wind" even airborne on the major pop music charts as soon as it was released, and its popularity continued to remain high, occupying the top spot for many consecutive days.
15 physical CDs were produced in this atmosphere, and they were sold out on the first day of release, and there were still many fans who didn't get them, crying and begging Xingyin Records to make a collector's edition quickly.
During this time, Shen Shu became a trapeze artist. He was busy holding signing events and small fan clubs in major cities. He didn't even have time to rest, and he didn't even have time to surf the Internet. Therefore, he didn't know that a big event happened in the music world—— —Shortly after the release of Xing Yang’s new album, an anonymous netizen pointed out on the largest music forum in China that Xing Yang’s original title song “Interruption” plagiarized an unpopular song created by a small foreign band.
Xing Yang has a lot of traffic, and any troubles about him can attract the attention of the majority of netizens, so plagiarism is on the hot search as soon as it appears.
The curious people who eat melons rushed to listen to the plagiarized song that netizens said.
After listening, everyone collectively expressed that the chorus parts of the two songs are really similar.
Many of Xing Yang's fans are diehard young fans. Their usual style is to be ignorant, silly and sweet. No matter what happens, they always believe in their brother unconditionally.
Seeing so many people 'slandering' Xing Yang this time, these fans once again jumped out to express their support for Xing Yang, and said that they should buy, buy, buy in an organized and disciplined manner, so that the sales volume of the album surpassed Shen Shu and became the No. 1 sales volume.
The rhetoric and actions of Xing Yang's fans angered Shen Shu's "leaves" and the people who eat melons. Everyone called on each other to mobilize, those who have the ability to contribute, and those who are not able to repost, must beat the plagiarism incident to death, and put the evidence on Xing Yang's In front of fans, let's see if they dare not bring their IQ when they go out next time.
The omnipotent netizen extracted and compared the audio tracks of the two songs respectively, and circled the scores for comparison, pointing out that "Interrupt" did plagiarize the chorus part of the unpopular song "Interrupt" released earlier, and Even the name is translated from English to Chinese.
Xing Yang's fans were still unconvinced, so netizens began to find ways to contact the band and let them sue Xing Yang.
On the other hand, the leaves are very mature.
Because they obediently listened to Shen Shu's words about not spending money recklessly, they had already discussed that they would not compare with Xing Yang's fans in buying idol albums, so these things had little to do with Shen Shu.
But the bad thing is that Xing Yang's management team has the same style as his fans, they are also brainless and sweet.
He was plagiarized by real hammer, and the team did not issue an apology statement immediately to save the star's image. Instead, they found a large number of trolls to forgive him, trying to divert the public's attention.
After Guan Peng found out, he didn't discuss with Shen Shu, and his direct contact broke the news that Xing Yang asked Shen Shu to buy a song and asked him to sign himself.
Netizens didn't believe it, thinking that someone took the opportunity to blackmail Xing Yang. It just so happened that Shen Shu's signing event in G City had just ended. As soon as he went out, he was blocked by many entertainment reporters.
Reporter: "Shen Shu, is it true that Xing Yang asked you to buy a song that broke the news on the Internet?"
Shen Shu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and asked curiously: "There is such a thing, what's wrong? Who broke the news?"
reporter:"……"
The reporters all looked like who else but you, expressly implying Shen Shu: "You and Xing Yang released new albums at the same time, and now Xing Yang has continuously leaked rumors about plagiarism and song buying, but your songs are widely popular in the industry. What do you think about it?”
Shen Shu:? ? ? ? ? ?
Shen Shu blinked his eyes, and almost wrote the six characters of "I'm really curious" on his face, and eagerly asked the crowd: "Which song is plagiarized, let me listen to it?"
The reporter who had a good thing really raised his mobile phone and released "Interruption" publicly.
Shen Shu frowned and listened to it twice, and asked with certainty: "Is it a plagiarism of "Interrupt" by the OG band?"
The reporters looked excited, and sighed with admiration: "Wow, Shen Shu, you are so amazing, you can hear it all at once!"
Shen Shu's heart: I was tired of listening to such a popular song in my previous life!
Shen Shu smiled modestly on the surface, and said embarrassedly: "Low-key, low-key, although this song is unpopular, I like it very much, so I have listened to it many times."
Reporter: "Shen Shu! It's you! Then tell me what you think about Xing Yang!"
Shen Shu glanced at the reporter who was obsessed with asking this question, and thought: Huh?Want to trick me?
I will not be fooled, and I will not give you a chance to hack me.
However, some words are really hard to vomit!
After taking the microphone, he acted like a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and said with a smile: "The healthy development of the Chinese music scene today depends on the vitality and creativity of the singers, so whether it is plagiarism or buying songs, it is all about an original singer. Great insult and disrespect and we don't want to see that happen."
"A singer who plagiarizes other people's achievements, if it is true, I hope he can stand up and apologize."
Speaking of this, Shen Shu, who wanted to satirize Xing Yang, remembered his past before he passed through the book, and suddenly decided to give him a chance.
"If he really changes his ways, I think the Chinese music scene will accept him again..."
Although Xing Yang is really copying the dog, if he really loves music and singing, Shen Shu thinks that he should not be the one who cut off his dream.
Shen Shu left by car after the interview, thinking that his last kind advice would help Xing Yang and let the turmoil subside slowly.
However, Xing Yang's approach once again made people admire his IQ.
The next day, a super-heavy piece of news broke out on a small account on Weibo, which instantly triggered a tsunami-like network shock—shock!Superstar Shen Shu, who is excellent in singing and acting, is actually taken care of by Qiao Rong, the boss of Xingyi!
The Jiugongge with pictures are those photos that Fu Shixiao had seen before.
After investigation, the owner of this trumpet is Xing Yang's manager.
Guan Peng anxiously became an ant on the hot pot, and Shen Shu who learned that he was exposed: Damn so excited!I finally have a reason to announce my relationship with my boyfriend!
The author has something to say: A person who is more stupid than the actor appeared!
