Edit | Entertain yourself
After Meng Meiqi and Chen Lingtao, two musicians "456", another Internet celebrity singer also overturned.
The reason for this is that an Internet celebrity singer named "Uncle Seven" recently released a new song.
However, after listening to it, everyone found that this song chorus was very similar to Zhang Weijian's "True Hero", so they all cast a voice of doubt, but the "Seventh Uncle" Buddha-figure was very firm in saying that he had not copied. Immediately after that, someone broke out the "plagiarism history" of this "seventh uncle", which took off his fig leaf.
For music, Ah Le is also a layman, but since I learned "456" two days ago, it doesn't hurt to learn some other things today, after all, the skills are not pressurized.
First of all, as a person who explores the truth, we can't just hearsay, we must definitely take the actual inquiry as the standard.
Since it is said that plagiarism, then there must be a contrast. It is said that "Uncle Seven" this time is because of the chorus of his new song "The Decision of the Gods", which is very similar to Zhang Weijian's "True Hero". Let's also see if this is the case.
I believe that many people like Ah Le do not know what the meaning of "chorus", so Ah Le specifically asked Du Niang and several music students.
Although the answer given by everyone is "the chorus is the climax", after Being refined by Ah Le, there is finally an answer that ordinary people can understand.
A song is generally divided into two parts: the main song and the chorus, and the main song can become a complete song without the chorus, but if there is an embellishment of the chorus, then the effect will be better. To use an analogy, the main song and chorus are like white porridge and pickles, white porridge can be eaten alone, but it will taste better with pickles.
After understanding the chorus, Ah Le went to listen to two songs separately. Although after listening to it, I don't know where the chorus is, but just by virtue of the musical level of Ah Le, you can hear that some of the melodies of the two songs are the same. Therefore, it can also be concluded that the "Decision of the Gods" of "Seven Uncles", as everyone said, does have an element of plagiarism.
After the song was copied by the explosion, the song review of "The Gods Decision" was full of questions from Qi Brush. Everyone not only complained that this was a copy of "True Hero", but also gave "Uncle Seven" a new nickname, called "Music Tailor", indicating the meaning of sewing and patching.
At the same time, many people also said that the lyrics of this song are simply "chaotic" and have no meaning at all. Interestingly, this is not the first time that Uncle Seven has been exposed to being "uncultured". As early as before, ding Taisheng, a senior music critic, commented that the lyrics of Uncle Qi's "Treading Mountains and Rivers" were: The lyrics are all vain, and the five-voice scale is piled up.

It was exposed to plagiarism, and uncle Seven said alexander, and finally could only come forward to clarify.
Uncle Seven shouted that he did not plagiarize, and posted the staves of the two songs for everyone to compare, and he was afraid that everyone would not understand, and specially instructed to find professional musicians around him to analyze.
Since he dared to say so, Presumably Uncle Seven was also full of confidence in himself. But is this Uncle Seven punching himself in the face? Although the scores of the two songs are not exactly the same, the naked eye can see that the two have a high degree of similarity. Could it be that Uncle Seven's understanding is that only by copying all of them can it be considered plagiarism? If this is the case, then Ah Hao will change his career tomorrow to enter the music circle to fill in the words, I believe that my new work "Eight Mile Fragrance" everyone will like it.
In fact, this is not the first time that Uncle Seven has been exposed to plagiarism. Since his debut, in just three years he has experienced two plagiarism storms, and each time he has been hammered out of his mouth.
"Uncle Seven", whose real name is Ye Zehao, is 23 years old this year and is a singer under the "Qingfeng Music". With its fresh and unworldly singing style, it is highly sought after by some fans, and is an Internet celebrity singer with more than 9 million fans.
Uncle Seven's representative works include five songs, such as "Yan Wu Xie", "Treading Mountains and Rivers", and "Half-Life Snow", but two of them have been exposed to plagiarism.
In November 2020, Uncle Seven quickly became popular on the Internet with the song "Stepping on the Mountain And River", but soon after, some people said that "Stepping on the Mountain And River" was suspected of plagiarizing the song "Last Night's Light Rain Asked Begonias". It may be that there are fewer people who know "Last Night's Light Rain Asks Begonias", so many people think that "Last Night's Light Rain Asks Begonias" has emerged, that is, they want to rub the heat. The producer of "Last Night's Light Rain Asked Begonias" saw that he was not hot, and now he had to change from original to "touching porcelain", so he was naturally unwilling, so he hurriedly posted a text to justify his name.
In the end, it turned out that "Last Night's Light Rain Asked Begonias" was indeed released before "Stepping on the Mountain And River", and the original side also said that the lyrics in "Stepping on the Mountain And River" were not expressed smoothly, and these were the parts that were questioned by everyone about plagiarism. In short, "Last Night's Light Rain Asked Begonia" does not specify who copied it, but it is also very clear that if the two are similar, then the person who touched the porcelain will certainly not be me.
In May 2021, Uncle Seven released the song "Half a Liter of Snow", with affectionate lyrics and beautiful melody, the song received a good response, and in just a few months, it received hundreds of millions of views on major media platforms. But as the song became more and more popular, people found a problem in it, that is, plagiarism.
Some netizens found that "Half a Liter of Snow" has the shadow of the song "Flying" and "Chrysanthemum Bursting Mountain", especially the chorus part, which is simply a copy of "Chrysanthemum Bursting Mountain".
What's more interesting is that everyone found that the rhyme of "Half-Life Snow" and "Yan Wu Xie" is also very similar, although Uncle Seven is not the original of "Yan No Rest", but later he also became popular by singing this song, so Uncle Seven is perfunctory in fried cold rice?
The plagiarism storm was boiling over, and after the incident, the original song MaBo stood up and said that he hoped that other musicians could respect the fruits of other people's labor and not have a fluke mentality of unearned gain. And the "other musicians" that Mabo talked about must be thought to know who it is with their toes.

The new song of the Seventh Uncle was controversial, and his reputation for plagiarism plummeted. Nowadays, as long as you enter a few keywords of "song plagiarism" on the tourer, Uncle Seven will introduce the eye. It is not difficult to see that several plagiarism incidents have labeled Uncle Seven as "habitual plagiarists".
In fact, the phenomenon of sewing and patching in the music world has become a common practice, after all, in such a fierce competitive environment, few people will really spend a lot of time to make a song.
Because this is a waste of time and there is no guarantee of benefits. Therefore, many musicians think of a convenient and direct way, that is, to directly "copy" other people's works. And whether this practice has worked or not, it is obvious that Uncle Seven has given the answer.
In fact, the method of plagiarism is not only exclusive to niche musicians, some stars and even well-known music producers will have similar experiences. If you dig deeper into such topics, you will find that in fact, many star works have plagiarism components. For example, the songs we are familiar with, such as "A Fire in winter", "Later", and "Father", are also adapted from other song fillers.
For this kind of plagiarism incident, it can be said that it can be big or small. Just like our protagonist Uncle Seven today, although he has been exposed to plagiarism several times, the other party has turned a blind eye, and now there is no punishment. Of course, there are also cases of serious plagiarism overturning, such as Yu Kewei's "Time to Cook Rain" was exploded and copied Cai Chunjia's "Waiting for a Sunny Day" was boiling and boiling, not only a big lawsuit was fought, but also reported by CCTV and people's network.
So how to say it, if plagiarism is handled well, it can be said to be beautiful and called "innovation". On the other hand, if it is not handled properly, it will be called "theft". So how can it be handled well?
Suppose that uncle seven before borrowing other people's songs, they have played tricks with people in advance and obtained consent, presumably everyone will say that he is a reference, and if the response is good, some people will even praise him for having an innovative spirit. But he did not do any of the above steps, and when others broke out of plagiarism, he did not admit his own problems. So when the facts surface, what awaits him is also people mercilessly ridiculed.
Finally, the lesson of the seventh uncle also proves a truth, as an artist, if you want to become popular in the true sense, you must have real skills, rather than blindly pursuing rapid realization and patching. In this way, in addition to the fact that the work has no lasting vitality, it is also easy to be spurned by people.
