Zhao Chuan, the unforgettable music giant, his notes have composed many exciting movements, which make people intoxicated in the rhythm.
Time has passed, the years are ruthless, this former celebrity, has fewer and fewer appearances on the music stage today, like a humble and wise man, quietly enjoying his music time.
Just when everyone thought that Zhao Chuan had faded out of people's sight, a copyright storm that detonated social media made him a hot topic again.
How did this breaking point come quietly?
A Weibo shout seems to be unremarkable, but it opened the prelude to this music storm.
It turned out that the high-profile hit drama "Flowers" used Zhao Chuan's classic track "I Am a Little Bird".
Surprisingly, this use was not authorized by Zhao Chuan.
On the Internet, netizens had a heated discussion on the copyright ownership of "I Am a Little Bird".
Some people believe that although the song was sung by Zhao Chuan, the copyright belongs to the company, so the producer of "Flowers" only needs to pay the copyright fee to the brokerage company.
This view has sparked a wide range of discussions, surging with reflections on music copyright.
can't help but recall the birth of this song, composed by Li Zongsheng for Zhao Chuan, like the melody of a period of time, which hits people's hearts.
In 1990, this song was nominated for the Best Song of the Year Award at the 3rd Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, becoming the pinnacle of Zhao Chuan's music career.
The wheel of time ran over mercilessly, and the copyright of this classic was transferred to Zedong Pictures.
What is puzzling is that Zedong Pictures was able to successfully buy the rights to other songs, such as Jacky Cheung's "Stealing Hearts".
Is this an unintentional mistake, or a long-planned move? The mystery of the song's copyright is inscrutable, as if a huge maze in the entertainment industry needs to be solved one by one.
Zedong's response caused waves in public opinion.
They quickly contacted Universal Music and expressed their willingness to explain and communicate with Zhao Chuan and the copyright ownership team.
The swiftness of the response led to the question of whether this was an urgent response or a premeditated bargaining chip? Zedong Pictures was resolute, announcing that they would show off their record of cooperation today and take action to solve the problem.
The resoluteness of the words seems to indicate that a tug-of-war for rights protection is about to begin.
The core of the problem lies in the transfer of the copyright of the song.
"I Am a Little Bird" was originally Zhao Chuan's proud work, but the copyright has slipped from Li Zongsheng's hands and fell into the hands of Zedong Pictures.
Whether there is any unknown secret in this change of hands, netizens began to speculate.
In the process of this speculation, another case in the entertainment industry - Jacky Cheung's "Stealing Hearts" was also introduced, which further triggered comparative thinking.
Since Zedong Pictures was able to buy the copyrights of other songs, did it deliberately ignore the copyrights of "I Am a Little Bird"? This issue has become the focus of public opinion.
When Zhao Chuan chanted the slogan of rights protection in the name of music, it seemed to break the balance of this tug-of-war for rights protection.
He expressed strong dissatisfaction with the unauthorized use of "I Am a Little Bird" by "Flowers".
It's an emotionally charged song, but it turns into a battle for copyright.
The singer's love and persistence for his works resonated with public opinion, and Zedong's response seemed to pale in comparison.
This is a story that turns around in the midst of controversy, an Internet storm caused by Zhao Chuan's rights protection, but in an exciting news of Dragon TV's Spring Festival Gala, it ushered in a dramatic turn.
Let's go back to the source of the controversy.
Zhao Chuan's article to defend his rights was like a pebble that set off a turbulent Internet wave.
The musician's actions have put people in a dilemma of support and doubt.
Proponents argue that TV drama production is a commercial business and that the use of songs should go through a formal licensing process.
This is not only a respect for the rights and interests of creators, but also an appeal for the healthy development of the creative industry.
They emphasized that the use of songs in hit dramas should follow copyright norms and safeguard the interests of music creators.
There are always some people who have a different opinion on this.
They questioned the necessity of defending their rights, arguing that the use of songs in the play was a secondary promotion of music.
In this digital age, the communication paths of music are becoming more and more diverse, and the songs in TV dramas are undoubtedly a kind of promotion of music and expanding the popularity of songs.
This kind of questioning has intensified the controversy over rights protection.
Just when the controversy was heating up, an exciting news came: Dragon TV's Spring Festival Gala announced that the crew of "Flowers" would be assembled again.
This unexpected variable makes the whole event full of drama.
Ma Yili's studio, actors Tang Yan, Chen Guanning, etc. have released official promotional Weibo on social platforms, like a spring breeze, bringing a touch of freshness to the entire controversy.
This news undoubtedly casts a shadow over the uncharted development of the rights protection controversy.
As announced by the Spring Festival Gala, the crew of "Flowers" will introduce new plots to release positive energy.
Whether this variable can become a way to break the controversy, we still need to wait and see.
Looking back on the whole process, the core issue of the dispute is still the protection of rights and the challenge of the right to sound recording.
Proponents advocate formal licensing, while skeptics argue that the use of music in the play itself is a promotion of the song, and copyright issues should be handled more flexibly.
The fierce collision between these two points of view makes the controversy even more confusing.
Perhaps it was at the climax of the controversy that the news released by the Spring Festival Gala gave this controversy a certain degree of relief.
It's like a ray of light for a possible solution.
After all, as one of the most popular programs in the country, the Spring Festival Gala may be able to provide a positive and harmonious solution to the issue of rights protection.
Perhaps this dispute is not just a copyright dispute, but more like a collision between the cultural industry and music creation.
In this turmoil, we saw an old artist's insistence on his music, the producer's frank response, and netizens' thinking about the boundary between music and business.
At this point, we may be able to get some inspiration from this rights protection turmoil.
In the development of the cultural industry, the issue of copyright is an unavoidable problem.
And for artists, it is a matter of course to protect their creations.
We can look at the use of songs in film and television dramas more cautiously, not only respecting the fruits of the creator's labor, but also taking into account the needs of commercial cooperation.
Let's look forward to the regrouping of the crew of "Flowers", and believe that this war between music and rights protection will finally end in a reconciled way.
May music be more respected in this controversy, and may the cultural industry go further and further on the road of copyright protection.
This turmoil can bring a breath of fresh water to the entire industry, so that music can remain pure and beautiful in the tide of business.
