The Beginning of Love: The Musical Dream of a Country Girl
She was born into an ordinary farming family in Sichuan's Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and her parents, like most of her hometown parents, lived a self-sufficient life. The environment behind the walls of her home has not dampened her love for music, and she has longed to stand on the stage and show her singing voice since she was a child.
However, her poor family background prevented her from getting an education, and she dropped out of school to work before graduating from junior high school. He worked as a waiter in a hotel and also worked as a coolie on a construction site for a while. But she has never given up on her musical dreams, and she picks up the score and repeats it every time she has free time.
Jianyang Zhuoma was later an authentic "self-taught". During an inspection activity, she was inadvertently discovered by the leaders of the local cultural bureau, and was admitted to the Ganzi Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe. In her spare time, she worked hard to tutor cultural knowledge, and was finally admitted to the Sichuan Conservatory of Music in 2004. The following year, she walked out of campus with flying colors.
From the peasant boudoir to the stage, it took more than ten years of youth to descend Yang Zhuoma. She traveled and twisted and turned, but never gave up halfway. At this moment, she finally held the stage of her dreams with her own hands.
Song Controversy: Infringement or Cultural Inheritance?
In 2010, a Tibetan version of "Love Song of the West Sea" made Jianyang Zhuoma quickly popular in the music scene. The appearance with outstanding temperament and unique and charming voice have captured the hearts of a large number of fans. However, while this song brought the pinnacle of her career, it also laid the foundation for her to fall into the quagmire in the future.
The reason is that the original singer of "Love Song of the West Sea" is not Jianyang Zhuoma, but a veteran singer who is very important in the music industry - Daolang. The latter spent a lot of effort to reinterpret this Tibetan ballad with enthusiasm and became famous in one fell swoop. And without authorization, Jianyang Zhuoma sang this work without authorization.
This behavior undoubtedly constitutes a serious infringement, and Daolang couldn't wait to take Jianyang Zhuoma to court in 2015. Since then, a protracted, near-life-and-death legal dispute has unfolded between the two. Over the course of eight years, the two sides have engaged in a whopping 42 lawsuits, losing both sides.
Daolang's claim is very simple, he is the creator and copyright owner of this song, and he should enjoy the exclusive right to use and distribute it. If it is appropriated by others, it will not only suffer economic losses, but also unbearable emotional trauma. After all, every song embodies the author's obsession and persistent pursuit of music.
The tough confrontation with Daolang is Jianyang Zhuoma and her defense team. They have repeatedly emphasized that the original lyrics of "Love Song of the West Sea" are indeed written by Tibetan compatriots, and the performance of this song by Jianyang Zhuoma is precisely to "promote Tibetan culture" and highlight national pride. Moreover, she performed the song in most public appearances, at the invitation of the organizers.
No one expected that the two sides would fall into a long-term litigation dispute over such a small song.
Fans were in an uproar: Who is Shen Yunen?
As the parties concerned, the fans of Daolang and Jianyang Zhuoma's respective camps obviously can't stay out of the matter. Fans on both sides are arguing endlessly, arguing over their own words, and defending the idols' actions are all over the Internet.
Daolang's fans believe that his status and influence in the music industry are well-deserved. Throughout his music career, he has adhered to his own musical philosophy and creative style. It's not like some singers who follow the trend all day long to cater to the market and sell their souls. So it's understandable that he feels a lot of anger and disappointment when his masterpiece is claimed by others and covered by others.
On the other hand, the supporters of Yang Zhuoma are not to be outdone. They think that although Daolang sang "Love Song of the West Sea" for the first time, after all, he only adapted Tibetan folk songs, and he is not the real original. And Jianyang Zhuoma's cover of the song is to promote the culture and art of the nation, what is wrong? should not be involved in such lawsuits.
So some people began to compare the work of star singer Xiao Shenyang with his cover of Daolang's work. Obviously, Daolang was not as aggressive as he is now. On the contrary, he showed a humble and polite side to Xiao Shenyang, and he was not dissatisfied with the other party's cover of his works.
Xiao Shenyang once talked on a variety show: "At that time, after I covered Daolang's song, he actually called me to say thank you, and said that he hoped I would sing more of his songs." I don't know why, he just didn't sue me. "
It seems that Daolang has a different attitude towards the matter of descending Yang Zhuoma. So how did the two go from looking at each other and hating each other to finally getting chicken feathers? Let's start with a small episode in the case.
At a previous trial, an industry insider who had dealings with Daolang's record company testified: "At first glance, it sounds like he is targeting Yang Zhuoma alone, but in fact it is not. Daolang has always attached great importance to his musical works. Each song contains his unique life experience, which means a lot to him. "
So when his painstaking work is used without authorization, Daolang will inevitably feel extremely angry and disappointed. In his opinion, he put in so much sweat and time at the beginning to hope that these musical works can be properly protected and respected as they deserve. "
Perhaps it is precisely because of this persistent pursuit that the contradiction between Daolang and Jianyang Zhuoma has intensified and lasted for many years.
What is her current situation?
It is undeniable that this dispute has had a huge impact on the two. Daolang lost part of his reputation and income, but as an original creator, he is still understood by most people; As one of the parties involved, Jianyang Zhuoma can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
During the long litigation period, she did not completely stop using the controversial song and seemed to have a dismissive attitude towards legal trials. The tortuous delay of the lawsuit has brought her great financial losses, but the impact on her reputation has been even more fatal. The Internet was once full of sarcastic stalks of "Xia Yang was beaten", and her popularity inside and outside the circle was not as good as before.
What's even more tragic is that in order to cope with the ongoing entanglement of the lawsuit, she has had to repeatedly postpone the production of the new album. The sudden stagnation of the career at the time of the boom is tantamount to pouring cold water on it. How many dreams and ideals have ended in this way, which makes fans have infinite sympathy for her.
Now, Jianyang Zhuoma has gradually faded out of the public eye and returned to the life of ordinary people. She opened a small handicraft shop in her hometown of Ganzi to make a living, and with her husband, photographer Ding Zhenquzha, she had three children, living an ordinary and stable life.
Regarding the idea of returning to the music scene, Jianyang Zhuoma did not make any promises. Maybe it will take some time for her to change her past mistakes before she can regain the trust of the audience. After all, reputation damage doesn't happen overnight.
