The folk music community has flown out of the moth again.
Recently, some netizens found that the song of folk singer Hua Congee "composing lyrics and composing" was suspected of plagiarizing the Soviet song "Mother Wants Me to Marry" translated by Xue Fan. In this regard, on the evening of March 3, Hua Congee issued an apology statement, saying that there was a work omission when packaging and uploading the platform, and it was willing to bear all legal responsibilities.

Flower porridge, for people who like folk songs, the evaluation is also polarized: those who like it are favored, and those who don't like it are very dismissive. Before the "melon of plagiarism" exploded, she still belonged to the kind of song than people, "Thief Will Go", "Distant You", "Out of the Mountain", etc., can not be described as unknown.
Moreover, "Thieves" and "Out of the Mountains" have been screened on the short video platform. This can be a great achievement for a singer-songwriter, and it is enough to show that she has the ability to control popularity.
However, the lyrics and song titles are someone else's, and the lyrics column is labeled as "work omission" - although it is not that this possibility does not exist, it seems too far-fetched.
After "Mom Wants Me to Marry" went wrong, some netizens quickly pointed out that the recently popular "Out of the Mountain" was also suspected of plagiarism, and the beat of the song was exactly the same as the foreign song "Anders Als Ihr", but the original signature was still flower porridge.
So, is this also a "work omission"? It doesn't seem so easy to answer anymore.
Flower porridge in the folk circle gives people the impression of being miserly and small. Being able to break the tradition and dare to reject stereotypes has a positive side and an innovative momentum. But innovation is the most taboo copy, plagiarism is the natural enemy of innovation.
It must be reiterated again and again: in the face of plagiarism, there is no double standard. Plagiarism is only the difference between copying and not copying, and the quantification of copying more and copying less, there is no exemption zone between the two.
I have always believed that there is no fixed persona in the entertainment industry, and some are just the difference between packaging and nature. The moment the tide recedes, we know who is swimming naked. The so-called tide rises and flows are only temporary, and the beach is always naked that day.
Flower porridge does have a preference for adaptation. More impressive, she also adapted Ma Wei's "Southern Girl", the composition is basically the same, slightly changed the lyrics, tit-for-tat singing a song "Northern Masters". Of course, Ma Wei is the initiator of the Sesame Oil Leaf Organization, and he and Hua Congee definitely know each other, as long as Ma Wei nods, this is not plagiarism.
But copying others, even putting their hands abroad and signing their own names, is a bit unclear.
After being exposed to plagiarism, I went to the APP to turn over the song message of the flower porridge, and as expected, many fans are still defending it. A typical sentence is "How can someone copy exactly the same?" Implicitly, this is "work omission theory.". Of course, there is also a more mature and common set of arguments that "everyone has apologized", which is of course to choose to forgive her.
But like to like, zero tolerance for plagiarism is the bottom line.
I also liked to listen to a song by Hua Congee, "Lonely Ghost in the Far North", and liked this kind of thing, which was the most mysterious and incomprehensible. It may have sung a certain feeling and state of mind of mine at that time, or maybe it was simply because I was in the north at that time. Although I appreciate it, this does not prevent me from standing on the side of resisting plagiarism in the first place.
Because what I like is the song, or the song just meets my needs and cognition at a certain moment, rather than superstitious about someone. People are changeable, and they are the most disguised, and you should be thankful that the day when people are punctured. Because this shows that he or she is close to being himself again, fortunately not too late.
According to me, some people set up, the sooner the collapse, the better. If you collapse early, you will change early, and you will have a chance to find yourself. Since the person is an original singer, he naturally has to accept the landslide tsunami brought about by the suspected plagiarism.
Because intellectual copyright is not only the life of the artist, but also the life of the original.
