2018 can be described as a year of traffic blowout, two drafts into a group program "Idol Trainee" and "Creation 101" have won a large number of popular newcomers, the impact on the original entertainment market is not small. The women's group talent show "Creation 101" has received particularly high attention, unexpectedly holding out the "koi" xiaohua Yang surpassing from online fire to offline.
However, the popular music talent show was not original to the mainland team, but bought the rights to a similar talent show in South Korea. The idea of "I Am a Singer", which has been held until the sixth season, was also generated in South Korea, and the mainland team bought the copyright to come back to run the program.
The downturn in the Chinese music scene is an indisputable fact, and originality is seriously lacking. Even music variety shows buy ideas from foreign countries, and music works go directly to plagiarism. For example, in 2018, "Leaving People Worried" swept the major music players with a "Divine Comedy" posture and the number of auditions exceeded 100 million, and some netizens pulled out this song and copied Jay Chou's "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", Xu Song's "Qingming Rain", RenRan's "Listening to the Night Rain outside the Small Building outside the Mountain", and its original singer Li Yuanjie was also jokingly called "music ghost tailor" by netizens.
Obviously, Li Yuanjie is not ashamed of plagiarism, in the summer of 2018, he appeared on a music program with "Leaving People Sad", but he could not even play the most basic chord. Judges Li Yuchun and Hua Chenyu questioned Li Yuanjie together. Among them, especially Hua Chenyu's comments were the most spicy, and Li Yuanjie was intimidated at the scene.
However, a few days ago, on a variety show, the host asked about this matter, and Li Yuanjie responded positively to the plagiarism for the first time. The content of the response is as follows: He has his own creative idea in his heart, which may be very illogical in the eyes of outsiders, but this is a creative state of mind you had at that time.
Li Yuanjie's response can be said to be a vague concept and confuse the public. No matter how unique the creative ideas are, the basic music theory is not understood, let alone music creation. At that time, after Hua Chenyu issued a positive question, Li Yuchun said: "I don't know how his song was written. "It's like a person who can't even recognize 26 English letters, but has passed the English level 4 or 6." I believe that everyone can think of the reason.
Ironically, Li Yuanjie won the 2018 Golden Melody Newcomer Award at an award ceremony with this plagiarized "Golden Song" and sang the song live. In Li Yuanjie's other musical works, he has also been pickpocketed by netizens, and there are different degrees of "absorbing the strengths of each family", worthy of the title of "music ghost tailor".
Li Yuanjie's musical style is mainly Chinese style, how the song is copied still does not matter, the lyrics are also rigid, shoddy, and some gorgeous words are forcibly pieced together, without the inner charm of Chinese. Once upon a time, the representative of Chinese style was Jay Chou, Fang Wenshan's words, And Jay Chou's songs almost became the standard of Chinese style songs.
Later, there were also some musicians in the mainland who did a good job of original Chinese style, such as Xu Song and Hu Yanbin, who also had a large audience. These critically acclaimed Chinoiserie songs all have one thing in common, which is that the lyrics are subtle and elegant, and the melody is catchy. In contrast, the Chinese style that Li YuanJie forcibly cobbled together is actually a distortion of the Chinese style.
No matter how bad the music environment is, the industry and listeners should have zero tolerance for plagiarism, hope that more excellent original musicians can appear, and truly carry forward the Chinese style.
