Chapter 237 One Day is officially launched
The musical genius of Hammer!
This is the fucking title that Luo Yutao gave himself.
Ever since he sang at the welcome party, many people in the school forum have used this title to compliment him.
He really took it seriously.
The people in the dormitory have been teasing Luo Yutao by calling him a “musical genius” these days.
Now it has more of a sense of gloating.
Good boy, he can jump around for half a day just to sing a song at a welcome party.
Turns out it was plagiarized!
But, if you want to plagiarize, then just do it. Why do you plagiarize the work of a public figure like this?
As journalism majors, we can be considered writers to some extent.
If you just do a "Chinese-to-Chinese" translation and plagiarize the manuscript, I guess no one will find fault with you.
Who could have expected that you, Luo Yutao, would directly do a one-to-one replica.
This has nothing to do with your courage.
Just pure idiocy.
Now everyone's face has been disgraced by you, Luo Yutao. It's a bit embarrassing to be your roommate!
We will have something to talk about this later.
At this time, Luo Yutao, the person involved, was very upset.
He didn't want to say much to his roommates who were just watching the show.
What he was thinking about now was the email that Shi Guang Culture Media Company had sent him earlier.
The content requires him to make an apology statement on the social platform, otherwise he will be held legally responsible.
He didn't take it seriously at first.
But now even the school has received an official letter, and even the counselor has come to warn him in person.
He was really scared!
As a "fake musician", he still knows the importance of copyright.
Yang Chengang, the author of the song "Mouse Loves Rice" which became popular all over the country a few years ago, is now caught up in a copyright dispute over the song.
The dispute with the agency lasted for several years and the lawsuit was finally settled.
And the various claims involved amount to millions!
He is now afraid that the other party will not let him go.
After all, Luo Yutao is still a student and has never experienced such a situation.
Thinking of the warnings that counselor Wang had given him before, he was worried that if he, as a college student, was really sued, it would affect his studies!
After thinking about it, he quickly logged into his Weibo.
He drafted an apology statement and tagged the official Weibo account of Shiguang Culture Media.
[Hello everyone, I am AKA.Yu Tao. Since the lyrics of my work "Be Yourself" involve infringement of your rights, I deeply apologize @Shiguang Culture Media Co., Ltd.]
After uploading the song to major platforms, he left his Weibo account on the singer's details page.
AKA. Yu Tao is his stage name.
He didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
Luo Yutao acted quickly, just wanting to settle the matter as soon as possible. Whether it would be embarrassing or not was no longer something he dared to consider at the moment.
He had just issued a statement when someone took a screenshot.
I posted a message on Tieba, which triggered extensive discussion among a group of people who like to have fun.
[Who said it wasn’t plagiarism? Now it’s confirmed on Weibo! ]
[Awesome! I heard this guy is in the music club?]
[The reputation of the society has been damaged! ]
[Haha, this guy has become famous this time! ]
[He even copied this fucking sloppy song. I can hum a few lines that are better than his copy! ]
【.】
During the afternoon class, Luo Yutao felt the critical gazes of everyone and felt even more ashamed.
He seemed to be avoiding people and didn't dare to look them in the eye. He just lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.
Looking at the discussion about him on the school forum.
He understood that he was really doomed this time!
Fortunately, I am now a junior.
You can apply for an off-campus internship next semester, otherwise you can directly declare in school that you have lost the right to choose a spouse.
Luo Yutao looked at the profile picture of his friend Zhang Jun on his QQ phone.
He really wanted to type over and curse at Yang Xiao, or even go to his house in person to pick a fight with him.
But what reason should I use to find fault?
It seems like I don’t know what to say!
Yes, Zhang Jun has told him twice not to use lyrics.
Isn't it because he just didn't listen to advice?
Who can I blame?
The music club's QQ group was still discussing the matter, but because he was in the group, several people were asking him about it with concern.
[Senior Luo, I heard you were involved in a lawsuit? ]
[Yutao, I heard that the company is claiming 5 yuan from you? Is that true?]
[Xiaodi Luo, we are all original creators. It is really weird that you are doing such a weird thing.]
【.】
Luo Yutao did not reply, but just prayed in his heart that this storm would pass quickly.
the other side.
Zhang Jun also learned about this that afternoon.
Whether it was the club QQ group or the school forum, he paid attention to Luo Yutao's apology for plagiarism.
He was sitting next to Yang Xiao at this time.
Under the desk, I handed him the phone.
On the screen, there is a screenshot of Luo Yutao’s apology on Weibo.
"Look, this has nothing to do with you, does it?"
"Haha, didn't I tell you that the copyright of this song has been registered? He just wouldn't listen to it. Now look what happened, it's become like this."
"Brother Xiao, where on earth did you see these lyrics?"
"I said I know time, do you believe it?"
"I believe him. In fact, I know him, but he doesn't know me."
Zhang Jun obviously thought that Yang Xiao was bragging, and he just thought that he was either browsing some niche forums or had some unique channels.
On the Internet, it's normal for everyone to have some little secrets.
Yang Xiao refused to tell the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions.
But does this copyright pursuit have anything to do with Yang Xiao?
According to his guess.
Yang Xiao must have known the copyright of the lyrics long ago, which is why he warned them both in advance.
It is not certain that it was Yang Xiao who reported it to Shiguang Culture Media Company!
Otherwise, how could the other party discover that they were plagiarized so quickly and take corresponding actions?
If that's the case, this is a bit cruel.
Yang Xiao had no idea that Zhang Jun was frantically imagining things at this moment.
In fact, he just instructed this matter to his assistant Zhao Qian on Saturday.
Originally, I told her to deal with it slowly after she got to work on Monday, so there was no rush.
It turns out that Zhao Qian is a workaholic.
When I had nothing to do on weekends, I chose to work overtime.
She looked up Luo Yutao's information in advance, and then took the time to draft an email and a stamped official letter.
Sent to the Administrative Office of Shenzhen University and Luo Yutao personally.
Yang Xiao read the contents of the official letter and found that the wording was very tactful!
It's simply a form of communication.
After all, it is his own school. He is only a freshman now and will have to stay there for a few more years.
This is also a last resort.
Yang Xiao had expected that this kind of college student would only respond to hard tactics and not soft ones!
Although I know that the school will definitely take the official letter and go through the mediation process in the first place for the purpose of protecting the students.
But precisely because of this, if Luo Yutao is to make a public apology, official pressure must be exerted.
The school is the middleman!
Moreover, Yang Xiao knew that when school teachers stepped forward, although they wanted to protect students, they would usually resort to beatings.
Nothing is more effective than this and nothing can make Luo Yutao admit his mistake.
If it comes to this and Luo Yutao still refuses to change his ways despite repeated admonitions.
Then Yang Xiaozhen considered asking the legal department of Shiguang Culture Media to step in, go through the prosecution process, and get a court subpoena.
Even though Luo Yutao has not made any profit from this song yet!
However, if there is actual infringement, it is entirely possible to go through the prosecution process.
The main focus is attitude!
How could he, a college student, afford all this?
Yang Xiao didn't think that this combination of punches was excessive.
He was just protecting his legitimate rights. I can only say that teaching this kid a lesson in advance is also a good thing.
Thus, the plagiarism issue came to an end.
The time came to December 10th.
Wednesday.
[one day] produced by Li Zhuofan's team is now officially launched on both Android and Apple platforms.
What is online now is only version 1.0.
And its software size is only 7MB!
Yang Xiao also posted a promotional Weibo on the same day.
[Hello everyone, I recommend an APP to you, its name is "one day", this APP is not a social platform, but a place to share pictures and texts. Here, don't chase hot spots, don't care about current affairs, don't make noise, don't cause disputes, and don't seek topics. In addition, you can see several stories in my upcoming new book "The Ferryman" in advance. It can be downloaded in major software stores. Come and play with me~]
After the Weibo post was released, Yang Xiao’s die-hard fans immediately began to show their support.
【Support Shi Guang! 】
[The interface is so simple and beautiful. I like this minimalist style. ]
[Already downloaded, don't let it down! ]
Xu Jing is a repeater in her senior year of high school.
After evening self-study, she returned home and secretly played with her cell phone for a while.
She is a fan of Shi Guang, or to be more precise, she is a fan of the book "Passing By Your World".
After seeing her idol recommending this software on Weibo and mentioning the story of the new book, she couldn't wait to download it.
Connect to home WIFI and download quickly.
Open the one day APP.
The first thing that catches your eye is not the fancy opening advertisement screen.
It is an artistic word with overlapping Chinese and English words.
【one day, simple.】
It’s a complicated day, just keep it simple. 】
Both the arrangement and the font have a sense of beauty, which gives Xu Jing a good impression. It is obvious that the design was carefully done.
After entering the APP, the homepage is a simple picture and text.
The picture is an abstract oil painting of a starry sky. Under the starry sky is a young man with his back to the sky, giving people an indescribable feeling of loneliness and solitude.
There is a small line of text in the lower right corner of the picture, which indicates the name of the work and the author information.
The text below marks the year, month, day and time.
Then there is a heartfelt text.
[You don't have to be afraid. People are lost because of their determination. From "The Ferryman"]
These words instantly broke down Xu Jing's inner defenses, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
Yes.
The failure in the college entrance examination a few months ago doubled her stress.
Whether it was her parents' expectations or the gazes of her new classmates, they all made her feel tormented.
She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
I should have gone to college and worked harder.
It's either regret or self-denial.
In addition, her grades haven't improved much and she still has to spend every day buried in a sea of books and exercises, which makes her very miserable.
After sobbing for a while, she wiped her tears with a tissue and recovered.
After reading the pictures and texts on the homepage, she clicked on the article section.
This article is also written by Time.
It was an emotional story selected from "The Ferryman" that moved her to tears again.
After reading the article, there is a section called "Things".
Xu Jing clicked on it and found out it was a carpet with Ultraman and little monsters patterns.
There is no clear price tag or anything like that, there’s just a link at the end.
Instead, it is a sharing of experience after using it.
[The pattern is very nice, it doesn't shed, and it's easy to take care of.]
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it’s just a soft article.
But high school students like Xu Jing have no idea about the concept of soft articles.
I just felt a little moved after seeing the introduction.
But she didn't have the money to buy it now, but she still clicked on the collection.
Next is the user’s personal center, where you can see your favorite articles and recommended items.
Understand this software.
Xu Jing returned to the homepage again. The more she read the words on the homepage, the more she liked them.
There was a heart icon next to this sentence, and she knew it was the like function.
Xu Jing immediately lit up the heart and took a screenshot.
The resulting crop was also very good, with both pictures and texts, and even a fresh and literary feel, which made her very satisfied.
So she quickly posted it on QQ space.
Soon, it attracted likes and comments from new and old classmates.
【Come on~Jingjing! 】
[This sentence is well said! ]
【What software is this?】
Xu Jing replied one by one, then cheered up, turned up the brightness of the desk lamp, and hurried to study.
This APP is like this. It first gained popularity among students, and the number of downloads also increased steadily.
There is no way, the target audience of Yang Xiao’s writings are mostly students.
And it was through screenshots that it became popular among the group of "literary youth"!
[It takes less than five minutes to read one sentence, one picture, and one article, but these few minutes are the most peaceful time of my day. Thank you for recommending this APP! ]
[It seems that our pace of life is too fast and we all need to slow down. 】
【Keep it simple. It would be better if everyone keeps it simple. 】
This APP has received rave reviews!
In just a few days, the number of users quickly exceeded 100,000!
Although this speed is completely incomparable to software like Kuaiya.
But strictly speaking, it’s a lot!
You know, apart from Weibo promotion, Yang Xiao didn't spend any other advertising money.
This achievement is entirely due to the excellence of the product!
Yang Xiao’s original intention in designing this product was to make it easier for users to take screenshots so that it could attract more attention!
This is also thanks to Yang Xiao, who specially hired an artist from outside to help Li Zhuofan and others with product design according to his requirements.
The minimalist interface appearance touches the hearts of literary and artistic young people.
The second thing is content.
This is the reason why this APP is successful!
On Friday night, Li Zhuofan asked Yang Xiao to meet him at a restaurant outside the school and said excitedly:
"Boss, our advertising is very effective! We sold nearly 10,000 carpets on the first day!"
"Keep up the good work. Are there any problems with the content?"
Yang Xiao doesn't care much about the advertising revenue.
It's just a small profit, he doesn't care at all.
It’s just an advertising space. This little advertising fee is not enough to maintain the normal operation of this APP!
The copyright fees for most creators are the biggest expense!
Fortunately, the money was paid by Shiguang Culture Media.
Their company still owes a huge debt!
Even Yang Xiao’s Weibo promotion required Li Zhuofan and others to pay for the marketing and promotion fees, which are still owed.
Li Zhuofan also knew that he couldn't get carried away at the moment, so he quickly replied:
“I have prepared the content for distribution in advance, so I don’t have to worry about it for the next month.”
"Well, for now, just focus on creating good content and maintaining user growth."
【one day】Yang Xiao doesn’t need to worry about anything.
Now that it is version 1.0, there are still many features waiting to be developed.
For example, sections such as [Movies] and [Music] can also be developed.
They are not only content outputs, but also advertising slots.
Now we just need to maintain user growth step by step. When the number of users reaches a certain level, we will naturally find the profit point.
Yang Xiao’s ambition actually goes far beyond this.
He plans to launch a [Q&A] and [FM Radio] section later.
【Q&A】’s counterpart is 【Zhihu】.
[FM]’s counterpart is something like [Himalaya Radio].
