Chapter 299 Woohoo, I was banished to the cold palace!

Wang Jinhua remained calm and ignored the comments as she traced the source.

On a blog on a social networking platform, a post asking for help unexpectedly became a hot search.

The poster, Cui Qihua, described himself as a Chinese-American music creator pursuing his dreams.

The title of his post is "The atmosphere in the entertainment industry has deteriorated due to the success of villains."

The article tells how he left his hometown to realize his dream of music, and moved from Singapore to Vientiane, Phnom Penh, Bangkok and other places, and finally settled in Modulo.
During this journey, in order to make a living and travel expenses, he once sang in subway stations, accompanied underground bands, and recorded songs for students.

I have written insincere compliments to wealthy businessmen and even worked as a bricklayer and other menial jobs.
Despite nearly a decade of hardships, even if he was beaten to a pulp and even if he could not see the dawn of success, he never gave up his love and pursuit of music.

Of course, he has also written many songs over the years.

But perhaps due to lack of connections, or perhaps because of destiny's lack of star luck, these songs have never been well-known.

However, he always believed that his favorite song "A Lifetime of Love" written last year was a chance to turn things around!

Although the arrangement has not been completed due to repeated revisions to the mixing part, the copyright cannot be officially registered.

However, all the friends who have worked with him agree that as long as they can polish this song well, there will be hope in their life.

Cui Qihua is full of confidence in this regard and looks forward to a successful outcome.

However, to Cui Qihua's surprise, he actually heard an extremely familiar melody while shopping in the mall the day before yesterday.

Upon checking, I found out that the song that ranked in the top three of the mobile ringtone new song list a week ago is now a hit in the streets and alleys.

What shocked him the most was that, except for the song title, some lyrics and accompaniment, the melody, sectioning and overall style were almost exactly the same as his own!
Cui Qihua couldn't believe this fact.

The whole person fell into deep confusion.

He frantically contacted his friends to verify, but unfortunately, the other party was a well-known popular young actor, and the album that the song belonged to was produced by Star Media + Qianqian Jingting, which ordinary people could not compete with.

What's more, he hasn't even registered the copyright, so it won't help even if he makes a big fuss about it.

But he was filled with resentment and could only vent his anger by posting.

The words between the lines are full of accusations of villains, satirizing that plagiarists are making a fortune while the original creators are ignored and are suffering from invisible "strangulation".

At the end of the post, Cui Qihua attached an unfinished audio clip and a handwritten draft of the music score.

He does not expect everyone to understand and believe him, he just hopes to get justice.

This blog post is clearly a carefully crafted, pathetic one.
It depicts a creator struggling at the bottom of society in an extremely miserable way.

Those bloody true events were displayed before everyone like a series of paintings, filling people with indignation!

However, at first, due to the limited number of Cui Qihua's fans, this post fell into oblivion and no one paid attention to it.

Later, for some reason, it suddenly attracted the attention of several well-known bloggers, who seemed to have resonated with it and voluntarily forwarded it for free and attached comments.

What’s even more surprising is that this post, which has accumulated tens of thousands of hits, actually caught the attention of the blog administrator, who directly pinned it to the top of the category page.
I don’t know if it was luck that brought him good luck, but Cui Qihua became famous because of this incident!
In less than half a day, the post had been read over 300 million times, and had been forwarded and commented on over 2 times.

Most netizens just wanted to watch the fun and encouraged Cui Qihua to defend his rights in the comment section, suggesting that he take Star Media and Du Sheng to court.

What's more, some enthusiastic people encouraged him to stick to it and claimed that they were willing to spend all their money to support him.

Of course, there are also some rational voices asking Cui Qihua to provide more evidence.

Because it only relies on audio clips and handwritten scores, it is easy to forge and cannot be used as strong evidence in court.

There are also some people who are tired of this common hype method and directly characterize the incident as clumsy self-promotion or even deliberate fraud.

Because Cui Qihua’s post did not clearly point out who the plagiarist was, but all the hints pointed directly to "Pray to Buddha"!
For a time, this song, which was already very popular, seemed to be ignited and abnormally topped the charts of the three major operators.

"A popular young actor is suspected of plagiarism!"

"No wonder he can do everything, it turns out he took shortcuts!"

“If an artist plagiarizes, should they be given a chance to correct their mistake?”

"Damn it! How could Brother Sheng plagiarize? This is absolutely slander!"

"I am waiting and watching. I don't quite believe that a well-known philanthropist would do such a thing."

"Hey, why does plagiarism in the entertainment industry continue despite repeated bans?"

The incident escalated, initially some bloggers and big Vs were discussing and forwarding it, and then some actors and singers also joined in.

They mentioned that copyright awareness in China is weak and almost everyone has experienced infringement.

Subsequently, several experts spoke out and called for the protection of the basic rights of original authors. Several of the hot searches on blogs and forums that day were related to Du Sheng.

This situation really exceeded everyone's expectations.

After collecting the information, Wang Jinhua frowned.

Because there is a conspiracy here.

If Du Sheng was really accused of plagiarism, he would be in big trouble and his reputation would be shattered.

But if you think about it carefully, this matter is really a bit hard to explain.

After all, there are all kinds of people on the Internet.

Some are even more angry, or envious and jealous, and they even curse the countrymen.
They say that the domestic entertainment industry is full of shit, because there are "scum" like Du Sheng.
With this kind of public opinion, all kinds of monsters and demons came out.

Those who were jealous of Du Sheng's popularity and wanted to pull him down from the throne, as well as the entertainment companies and individuals who had tried to sign him several times but failed, were all secretly adding fuel to the fire.

Perhaps, people like Wang Daxiao, Wang Xiaowang, Zhang Zhizong, Wang Ke, Zhang Yadong, and Masato also had a hand in it.

Various expressions of support and random articles have popped up like mushrooms after rain. As the saying goes, three people can make a tiger, one person can spread it to ten people, and ten people can spread it to a hundred people.

Gradually, more and more people sympathized with Cui Qihua.

They either had their own ulterior motives or were just looking for trouble. In any case, they did not try to get to the bottom of the truth and just used Du Sheng as a punching bag.

Who made Du Sheng so popular recently?
Those who were jealous to the bone even wanted to run to the crew or Star Media Company, clamoring to get rid of Du Sheng, this "cancer".

The bloggers and influencers who had previously forwarded the post packaged themselves as messengers of justice and issued various indignant criticisms.
It seems that the domestic entertainment industry is in a slump, and it’s all caused by Du Sheng.

They also appealed to the entire industry with great plagiarism that these thieves and plagiarists must be banned, otherwise the domestic entertainment industry will never be able to raise its head.
Before Cui Qihua's "theft incident" was concluded, Du Sheng had already been splashed with dirty water.

This storm of public opinion quickly spread across domestic social platforms, forums, and media.

Of course, there are also people who can see the trick at a glance.

That post contained no evidence other than crying poor and pitiful words, with an audio clip and a piece of music.

Just this little thing could actually attract so many bloggers and entertainment companies to come out and set off public opinion in just a short time...

If there is no mastermind behind the scenes fanning the flames, then the public would be fooled.

It can be seen that Du Sheng has been too popular recently and must have offended many people invisibly.

The Rong Xinda Company behind Chen Kun is just the tip of the iceberg.

However, out of the desire to watch the fun, most people chose to stand by and watch.

The entertainment industry is good at praising the powerful and bullying the weak.

If Du Sheng was really pulled down, they might even step on him and gain some benefits from it.

So, the audience was waiting to see how Du Sheng would deal with this sudden storm.

If it’s not handled well, the popularity will decline and the image will be damaged, but those are minor matters.

If things go wrong, it might even be unable to recover.

"what happened?"

At this time, Du Sheng had just finished shooting a cover magazine announcement and was rushing back to the "House of Flying Daggers" crew.

But halfway through the trip, several urgent phone calls came in, almost disrupting his scheduled itinerary.

Those who called just now included Zheng Ziyan, Liu Tao, and Wang Jinhua, who was the first to receive the news in the country.

No need to guess, the controversy surrounding that song has already caused quite a stir among the fans.

"Brother Sheng, don't worry, I will always support you, don't let the scammers get you down!"

Du Sheng was very upset when he saw Yang Mi's message.

Yang Mi, who had just returned to school after a short trip, was concentrating on listening to the class when she suddenly felt the phone in her pocket vibrate.

She stole a glance at the teacher on the blackboard, then quietly took out her cell phone.

On QQ, a striking transfer file came into view. It was sent by Du Sheng.

Yang Mi clicked on it without hesitation, and the result was a text picture with only one line of cold words on it:
"You're going to die if you play with your phone in class in your senior year of high school!!"

The image of Du Sheng's sneer unconsciously emerged in Yang Mi's mind, and she shuddered all over.

"Xiao Mi, what's wrong with you? Is someone asking you to ask Brother Sheng for an autograph again?"

The classmate noticed that Yang Mi looked depressed and asked in a low voice out of curiosity.

"Wow, it's over! Brother Sheng has banished me to the cold palace!"

Deskmate:"……"

After teaching Yang Mi a lesson, Du Sheng remained calm and composed, seemingly not affected by the sensation at all.

He asked Wang Yaoyang to look through his schedule and first ask whether the Tianyao Enterprise Celebration, which had signed a cooperation agreement the next day, should continue.

The other party was contacted through Wang Jinhua, so it was not convenient to refuse him before.

However, in the current situation, in order to avoid being implicated, it is understandable to postpone cooperation or not to cooperate, and it can also save him some time.

"Who?"

The phone rang for a long time before the secretary answered.

"Hello, I'm Du Sheng's assistant—"

"beep!!!"

The person on the other end of the phone hung up in less than two seconds. When I called again, the receiver was hung up.

"I asked you to delay for a while, why did you hang up on someone else?"

Tianyao Enterprise's general manager, Cao Deyu, looked at his secretary Pan Yaoling in confusion.

He was just discussing with several managers about tomorrow's celebration and whether or not to bear the pressure and let Du Sheng come.

He didn't expect that the devil would appear as soon as he mentioned it. He could even hear Du Sheng talking to his assistant.
