"What a bloody script!"
"This entertainment industry can really make up some amazing plots!"
Looking at the old people on the street spitting and discussing something, you can't help but be curious. What amused them so much?
The play opens
Daolang, a first-line powerful singer in the mainland, landed on the stage with his original masterpiece "The First Snow in 2002" and became popular overnight. This parting song, told in a magnetic voice, immediately set off a nationwide craze. Who would have thought that behind this beautiful curve, the dark tide is turbulent. Some people gritted their teeth and questioned him for "making money" and "pulling calves"; Some people drink the scum of "the rich second generation making money".
Daolang himself never responded, but only calmly posted: "If you are tested by fate, let your heart be more simple and kind." It seems that even if he was slandered, he never wavered in his belief in life.
In the turmoil of verbal criticism, an unknown Tibetan girl Jianyang Zhuoma covered another masterpiece of Daolang "Love Song of the West Sea", which instantly attracted the screaming and carnival of countless fans.
You must know that "Love Song of the West Sea" was originally an old song launched by Daolang in 2006, which was well received that year, but it has never been sung. It wasn't until it became popular by Yang Zhuoma that it returned to the public eye again.
Interestingly, Jianyang Zhuoma translated this love song into Tibetan and spread it in the pastoral areas of the plateau for several years. I don't know if it's because of the local affinity or the charm of her voice, soon "Love Song of the West Sea" became popular all over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Regarding this move, composer Daolang didn't pay much attention to it at first. It wasn't until he later discovered that he had never seen his name on any of the live or albums that he became angry.
The war of words began
Daolang also pointed out that he only transferred the copyright of "Love Song of the West Sea" to the music company, and did not authorize Jianyang Zhuoma to sing it publicly on any commercial occasion. In this regard, Jianyang Zhuoma firmly denied it, saying that "Love Song of the West Sea" has become her "personal signature work", and the copyright has been purchased through legal channels.
The two tore apart endlessly, leading public opinion to a copyright war. seems to have traveled into the bloody plot of film and television dramas, and even the onlookers were dazzled.
Later, Daolang finally couldn't hold it back, and directly sued Jianyang Zhuoma in court with a complaint. According to the complaint, in the four years from 2015 to 2019, Jianyang Zhuoma sang a total of 42 commercial performances of "Love Song of the West Sea".
Among them, there are many high-profile occasions such as the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV and the opening ceremony of the World Cup, and the value is frighteningly high. According to industry standards, at least more than 2 million royalties should be paid. It's a pity that during the period, Yang Zhuoma intentionally or unintentionally returned to zero. Dao Langfang reprimanded that this was clearly "ripping bamboo" and "rubbing heat", which harmed their artistic creation and commercial income.
After several years of entanglement, the two sides finally decided on the winner in the first-instance verdict. In the end, the court made a judgment: Jianyang Zhuoma should compensate Daolang 75,000 yuan and immediately stop performing the track on any occasion. Since both parties belong to the category of artist work, the court did not impose a heavy penalty. For the Daolang camp, this verdict undoubtedly brought them back.
After all, after years of disputes, this result effectively protects the legitimate rights and interests of the original creator and also sets a healthy example for future rights protection. There are still comments in the market that the compensation amount of 75,000 yuan is still too low for singer Daolang. When soliciting feedback online, some netizens called for "don't let those who rub the heat earn blood".
As for Jianyang Zhuoma, who lost the lawsuit, she chose to keep a low profile afterwards. After writing a parting post on social media that "freedom is too important to me, goodbye music", the 32-year-old Tibetan singer completely quit the entertainment industry and started to do something else.
It seems that after the music dream was shattered, Jianyang Zhuoma has re-bloomed on the new stage of life.
Fate is very different
Despite the constant verbal and written criticism in the lawsuit, Daolang is thriving in his career. After losing the lawsuit, although Jianyang Zhuoma stayed away from the music scene and lived a low-key life, he also made small achievements in the field of public welfare and charity.
This year's Daolang will hold a national tour, which is his first comeback after many years. Undoubtedly, this copyright victory has brought him a new reputation and influence, which has fans looking forward to it. In stark contrast, it is the Yang Zhuoma who once dominated the Tibetan area for a while.
This Tibetan girl from an ordinary background was once regarded as a rookie in the national music scene, but unfortunately an "overrated" copyright dispute curbed her music dream. Today, after the divorce, Jianyang Zhuoma, who has become a mother, makes a living by weaving handicrafts. Although she no longer teaches in the art world, she uses all her savings to support students in her hometown, and she never tires of it.
"Life is like this, opportunities are rare, and if you can't grasp it, it's really gone." Na Ying commented on the experience of Yang Zhuoma.
And she herself posted on her personal social media: "Moving forward against the wind, life has its own wonderful chapter." I look forward to my new life blooming. It seems that after being disappointed, this Tibetan girl who once had an outstanding temperament has completed the sublimation in her heart.
After several years of copyright lawsuits, the fates of the two sides have diverged significantly. Now, Daolang is enjoying the peak of his career again with his professional strength; And Jianyang Zhuoma withdrew from the entertainment industry and sought development in a new field.
This bloody drama doesn't seem to have officially turned off the lights. Judging from the continuous fermentation of public opinion, it seems that there will be more sequels worth sharing. When you hear the familiar melody of the Western Regions flowing in your ears again, I wonder how you will feel? Will you applaud the protagonists, or criticize one or two?
From the creation of a powerful singer being unintentionally or intentionally appropriated by an unknown young singer, to the final evolution into a copyright lawsuit, the fates of the two sides have been very different. Daolang successfully defended his legitimate rights and interests through rights protection, and for Jianyang Zhuoma, this copyright battle became a turning point in the shattering of her music dreams.
This story undoubtedly gives us some enlightenment - artistic creation needs to be respected and protected, and the legitimate rights and interests of the original creator cannot be violated. At the same time, life opportunities are rare, we should cherish the present, with professionalism and integrity to seek development.
