On February 19, some netizens posted questions about the "Strange Story" contestants plagiarizing Wang Yuan's first original song when he was 14 years old.
The player he was talking about was Ma Jianyue, who had participated in "Strange Story". In 2019, Ma Jianyue released a song "Love at First Sight" with her husband Zhang Jie, accused of copying the lyrics of Wang Yuan's song "Because I Met You" released in 2016.
Judging from the comparison of the "color palette" posted by netizens, the lyrics of the two songs have appeared in large sections of similarities. "Never thought of meeting you, let me surprise me obsessed, you are the important meaning of my life", "because I met you, I learned to cherish, even in the face of more wind and rain blows, will firmly go on" and other fields, almost the same. Some are just individual changes, or adjustments to the order. In the words of netizens, this is called "copy and paste".
Moreover, Ma Jianyue's lyrics are not written by Wang Yuan, but by two other people.
Some professional lawyers have once popularized the "similarity of lyrics to some extent is plagiarism" on the Internet, "if a work has more than 5 similarities in words, it can be counted as mild plagiarism; more than 10 can be counted as serious plagiarism; more than 20 similarities should be counted as plagiarism; more than 30% of the similarities are serious plagiarism." "Ma Jianyue's song is similar to what extent, everyone can also see it."
Wang Yuan is a young idol that everyone is very familiar with, versatile, on his 14th birthday specially created the song "Because I Met You", as a gift to the fans, this is his first original work, for Wang Yuan himself and fans, are of great significance. Wang Yuan Weibo has still placed this song at the top, which shows that it attaches great importance to it.
Therefore, netizens were indignant and angrily denounced this blatant "plagiarism" behavior.
Ma Jianyue was originally a member of a female idol group, belonging to the small transparency in the entertainment industry, and later "graduated" from the group and participated in the talent show "Strange Flower Conference", because the fast and fast language, cute and innocent language style left a deep impression on the judges, recorded the variety show "Strange Story", the popularity soared, and has since become well known to the audience.
In 2019, Ma Jianyue registered his marriage with Zhang Jie and gave birth to a child, starting a happy married life. Ma Jianyue also recorded the variety show "Diary of a New Student" with her husband Zhang Jie, sharing the daily life of a new mother with the audience. In the program, Ma Jianyue revealed that his acquaintance with her husband was a "commercial marriage". Ma Jianyue opened a milk tea shop, Zhang Jie opened a clear bar on the same commercial street, and went to Ma Jianyue's shop every three to five to buy milk tea, and he was familiar with it when he came and went.
Strictly speaking, Ma Jianyue is only the singer of the song, and may not know whether the lyrics are similar. However, Wang Yuan's original works have condensed a lot of his painstaking efforts, and the innocence of being "similar" is deeply uneven. After all, Although Wang Yuan is young, but his talent is very high, he has also opened his own writing column in "Global People", and many classic sentences have been transferred and quoted, such as "When the winter leaves, the snow melts and the grass is green, I believe there must be a new encounter to continue the warmth." "Many people will cite it when they write articles, but they may not know that the source comes from Wang Yuan.
Moreover, Wang Yuan was very persistent in his dreams, and bravely ran to Berkeley abroad to read music during the rising period of his career, and was devout and persistent about music. For such a young man who respects originality and loves music, how can his works and efforts be disappointed? I hope that the parties can come out and respond.
