Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 281 281. Similarity

After the filming of "Flower Boy Bromance", Zheng Zhiyong has settled his mind, but this does not mean that he will relax from now on. On the contrary, as soon as the variety show ends, the planned things and unexpected troubles will disappear. Let's find him together.

What I was supposed to do was of course "Fight My Idol". The next episode was going to be recorded soon but it hadn't started yet. Leaving aside this point, as for the unexpected trouble, it was also related to "Flower Boy Bromance".

"Going to see the material of the show? Is something wrong?"

When Lee Taemin and Jung Jiyong were on the phone, Kim Jonghyun next to him had already pricked up his ears excitedly. After the main film of "Flower Boy Bromance" is roughly cut, it will be shown to the relatives and friends of the actors first, and then their viewing experience will be filmed.Kim Jonghyun, as a member of the group of relatives and friends selected to watch the movie in advance, the flames of enthusiasm and gossip onlookers are burning blazingly.

"Do you remember in Milan, after I finished singing, a foreigner said a few words to me and gave me a glass of beer?"

Zheng Zhiyong didn't know that Kim Jonghyun was listening in. He felt that Li Taemin was one of the people present, and if something happened, he might be involved, so he said it directly.

"Remember, I also helped my brother drink half a glass. Is there something wrong with that person?"

"It was a German guy, and he told me to go back and listen to a song."

"Listen to a song? What is it?" Lee Taemin asked.

"A German song released in 1970, I found it after I came back from "Music Bank", Zheng Zhiyong's voice at this time had a very obvious collapse, "That song...it...the melody is similar to "Music Bank" Don't worry, it's almost exactly the same".

"Wh... what?" Li Taimin's voice changed in fright. The way of life will amplify the impact of events, and even if he heard from the news, what Zheng Zhiyong said was scary enough, "That song Is the song really from 1970?"

"Yes," Zheng Zhiyong admitted helplessly, "I want to see if this passage has been recorded. He said it to me alone, so just pretend you don't know."

Li Taimin swallowed hard: "Brother."

"What?" Zheng Zhiyong asked.

"I'm with Jonghyun brother now."

With his confession, Kim Jonghyun, who was so curious by Lee Taemin's change of face and voice, could finally open his mouth: "What are you talking about, what song from 1970?"

Lee Taemin has pulled the phone away, and Jung Jiyong heard Kim Jonghyun's voice, "It's best if you don't know, brother Jonghyun", he raised his voice and said, "Taemin, you can decide whether to say it or not, I'm going to ask Has this episode been filmed, no matter what, what he said to me must not be broadcast.”

"Thanks for your hard work."

This sentence came from the heart, and besides this sentence, Li Taimin didn't know what he should say.

He is fully aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Don't Worry" is a song released in 2004 by the legendary Korean rock band Ye Juhua. The creator and original singer is Jeon In-kwon, the soul of the band.For younger people, this song is the ost that was sung by Li Di when "Please Answer 1988" was on the air, which moved countless people who followed the drama. Older people may remember, Quan Renquan's friend, actor Li Enzhu who once starred in "Flying Taichi Flag" likes this song the most. After Li Enzhu committed suicide due to depression, Quan Renquan also sang "Don't Worry" at her funeral as a farewell.

It has been a classic for more than ten years, and it became popular again half a year ago because of "Please Reply 1988". Coupled with the status of the Wild Chrysanthemum Band in the history of Korean rock and roll, if "Don't Worry" is really plagiarism, the impact will definitely not be small ——Lee Taemin promised with his heartbeat that has not yet returned to normal.

After he relayed the matter to Kim Jonghyun, Kim Jonghyun was terrified too, tremblingly searched for "drinkdocheinemet" on the Internet and pressed "play", the result was desperate.

This is a brisk version of "Don't Worry", or in other words, "Don't Worry" is a slow and lyrical version of "drinkdocheinemet".

"What is he going to do?" After the song was played, Kim Jonghyun stood there as a statue for a while, and then thought of this question.

He and Lee Taemin can pretend not to know, but Zheng Zhiyong can't tell. This was told to him by fans who knew him.

"Brother Zhiyong is probably also very difficult to deal with," Lee Taemin said, "He said first to ensure that this segment will not be released on the show."

"For the time being, that's all we can do." Kim Jonghyun sighed, the sympathy for Zheng Zhiyong in his heart was like a torrent of water.

No matter how common the similarities and coincidences between songs are, if the degree is not high, you can turn a blind eye to it. If it is repeated to this point, it is still a famous song that has moved countless people. Once it is determined to be plagiarism, it must be bombed.

For example, among the songs this year, "Story" is the strongest in terms of popularity, music purchases, and social influence. If this song is found to be plagiarized, everyone will think that they are so moved by a stolen song. To cry, to be angry, to explode, to reflect deeply, to condemn excitedly... The picture is so beautiful that I dare not think about it.

Zheng Zhiyong did not think the problem was so serious. In the music field, the definition of "plagiarism" is very tolerant. Whether it is deliberate plagiarism or not, as long as it does not copy and paste to the extent, it will not be admitted even to the death. People have been going online all the time. The works of Xinshadong Tiger and Heiyan Bisheng have been said to be similar to some foreign songs, but in the end they didn't do much.It's just that Ye Chrysanthemum, Quan Renquan and even the song "Don't Worry" have a high status in the Korean music industry. The German brother who knew about it specifically told Zheng Zhiyong, although he also said "only" Zheng Zhiyong needs to listen to Tingge, and Zheng Zhiyong can't guarantee that he won't do something he doesn't want to see in the future. If someone brings it up after seeing Zheng Zhiyong's inactivity, then by the way, "I used to I told thinker but he didn’t seem to dare to say it.” Zheng Zhiyong is not a human being both inside and out.

Well, Zheng Zhiyong is also thinking about it, the kind that goes in another direction.

He had a headache for a while, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Before looking for the program team of "Flower Boy Bromance", Zheng Zhiyong first visited An Shuojun.

After hearing the whole story, An Shuojun was also very sad. Of course it is a good thing for his artist to be recognized overseas, but why is there such a big trouble?

As a leader, he couldn't express this emotion to Zheng Zhiyong, so he put it another way: "Do you come to me every time you have trouble?"

Zheng Zhiyong looked at him with the eyes of "Isn't it?"

An Shuojun got goosebumps all over his body: "Okay."

He used his brain to think about how to help Zheng Zhiyong solve this trouble, "You think too much", this is for sure first of all, no matter how bad this kind of thing develops, it will not be fatal to Zheng Zhiyong The song "Don't Worry" has nothing to do with him, let alone a cover, and he didn't even boast, "If it doesn't work, let me do it."

"Representative?" What's the matter with An Shuojun?

"You are a junior, even if you doubt it, you can't tell Quan Renquan that I am different."

Seniority is important, as is status. It is true that Quan Renquan is a prestigious senior. If Zheng Zhiyong had a conflict with him, Zheng Zhiyong would be unlucky, and An Shuojun was in charge of the giant cj In the music business department, there is no need to worry so much.

"Maybe...you can still be a favor."

"Oh?" Zheng Zhiyong didn't understand An Shuojun's logic, "What does the representative want to do?"

"Listen, as a Korean, you don't want the image of a respected senior to collapse from now on, but the songs are too similar, and you're not the only one who knows, and you don't know what to do, just in case Tell him about this and see if there is a solution.” An Shuojun rolled up his sleeves and confronted Zheng Zhiyong, “You just say that in front of outsiders.”

Zheng Zhiyong expressed understanding, but there is still a question: "What if it is not an outsider?"

An Shuojun: "He still cares. What do you say about him in front of your relatives and friends? Just don't be recorded." The senior belongs to the senior. If you really make a mistake, don't blame people for saying it behind your back.Lee Joon said in "Strong Heart" that Ko Young-wook, who debuted more than ten years earlier than him, poached him twice. Later, Ko Young-wook's sexual assault scandal broke out. When people mentioned his behavior at that time, they would only praise Lee Joon for being upright. No one said he was disrespectful. senior.Of course, public opinion will be like this, and Lee Joon is also a victim factor, just like Zheng Zhiyong scolded the seniors for drunk driving. sick.It is acceptable to say two sentences behind the scenes that are not so intense.

Although it has been slowly moving in the direction of loose equality, this is still a society that pays attention to seniority and hierarchy.

An Shuojun took the blame that fell on Zheng Zhiyong's head, and brought up the matter of resuming work with him.In An Shuojun's view, the influence of "Story" has not completely disappeared. Zheng Zhiyong is not suitable for releasing songs in a very formal way. It's all within reach...

In the end, Zheng Zhiyong couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him: "Does the representative want to copy Brother Junying's route?"

This seems to be the path Jung Joon Young walked!

An Shuojun sighed: "He must listen to me."

Zheng Zhiyong smiled without saying a word.Although Jung Joon Young and CJ have some disagreements, Jung Joon Young can understand a businessman's pursuit of profit, and CJ can also understand his pursuit of music, and finally compromised with each other, and each of them completed their work well, although Jung Joon Young still wanted to be more free After the contract expired, he rejected the proposal to renew the contract and went to his friend's company c9, but the two parties got together and parted, and An Shuojun still liked Zheng Junying very much.

Zheng Junying is gone, and Zheng Zhiyong, An Shuojun's orientation towards artists has not changed, and his career plan for artists is not much different from the past. Whether musicians like it or not, he is just eager to move in the field of variety shows: "Isn't your show in China going to be aired soon? I heard that your host is pretty good. After the show airs, I'll talk to someone from m."

The hairs on Zheng Zhiyong's back were about to explode: "Representative, where do you want to send me?"

Give him a credible letter so he can decide whether to protest solemnly or push back and go back to prepare.

"I'm going to ask if they can use you in the program they are preparing. Don't look like this. If you don't agree, can I still force you to go?" An Shuojun said.

In this way, Zheng Zhiyong has no choice. The summer vacation is approaching, and most of the student parties are on vacation. Idol singers, management companies and TV stations have won their active periods. I am afraid that there are a lot of variety show plans on the table. I don't know which one can make the TV station, An Shuojun and himself fall in love, so we can only take one step at a time.

Under An Shuojun's suggestion, when Zheng Zhiyong went to China to record "Battle Idol", his manager Fang Jihe did not go with him. I did a rough inspection of the roughly edited program—focus on what information was included in the part where the German talked with Zheng Zhiyong, and just look at other places.

Zheng Zhiyong was also worried that this would seem a bit troublesome, but An Shuojun said dismissively: "It's not the first time that the editing and post-production of the show have tricked artists. Some of the things that TVB does are just plain stupid."

He gave Zheng Zhiyong popular science: "Do you know Zhang Nala? Go to SBS's "Strong Heart" and tell about a father who controls his own income and invests a lot of money for a certain crew on her behalf, but because every time the crew is short of money, they need to find investment. When I was young, I caught up with her to go to China to perform, so her father took full power to do it for me. She didn't know the story. Later, she was frightened to death when she found out that her father had invested a lot of money. "Performance", and then a translation, screenshots of the news in China, all the markets she has worked so hard to develop in China are-"

An Shuojun spread his hands and said in a sarcastic tone: "Sometimes the consequences of unintentionally being stupid are not much better than being malicious. Don't worry, the reason is always made up."

... Boss, have you forgotten that I am going abroad to record a program soon?

Standing in the studio of "Fight, Idol", Zheng Zhiyong recalled An Shuojun's words, and his feelings were still very complicated.

"thinker."

Xue You came to the rehearsal on time this time, probably because the adaptation was his own song, he seemed particularly motivated: "I'm about to ask a question about the adaptation, can you go over and say a few words?"

"Isn't that my weight is too much?" Zheng Zhiyong said, "The director just told me that I have more weight than any of your guests in the extra episode."

"That's because you do a lot of things. Let's go. Song Minho and I can't complete such a difficult adaptation. It's enough trouble to translate the content clearly."

"Okay, let me talk over there first."

Deliberate things can be speculated about the cause and effect, and you can try to prevent them in advance. There are also some troubles that fly, but it is impossible to prevent them.There are so many things to do, and worrying about these things every day, it really affects the quality of life.

Well, about Quan Renquan, go back and ask An Shuojun after recording the show.
