Chapter 825: Unreasonable
At s.h.i.+yi Culture in the capital city.
When Gu Weiwei arrived, Luo Qianqian and Ji Cheng were already there. Jolin arranged for them to meet in his office.
“You are both here.”
She had thought that it was just going to be Luo Qianqian, but Ji Cheng, who was supposed to be in school, was here too.
“Qianqian said that you have something to discuss with us, and we also have something to discuss with you, so I asked for leave and came here.” Ji Cheng looked very playful with her ponytail.
Gu Weiwei sat down and drank some water to moisten her throat.
“What is it? You sounded serious when you called me last night.”
“When I was in middle school, I wrote a few songs out of inspiration, but I lost the alb.u.m I recorded. However, I remember the melody, so I was going to use it on the alb.u.m for the company’s artists, but…” Luo Qianqian bit her lips.
“But what?” Gu Weiwei frowned and asked, “What’s wrong, have you not started yet?”
“No, we have started to record this song, but we found that the song that Zhou Linna released recently is the song I wrote,” Luo Qianqian said as she played the music video of Zhou Linna’s new alb.u.m.
Gu Weiwei finished listening to the song without saying a word and took Luo Qianqian’s music score. Although she had made some modifications to it, the two songs were still very similar.
Ji Cheng said, “When this song was written, you were still teaching us and you played it once.”
Gu Weiwei nodded. “Yes, I remember this song.”
Like her father, Luo Qianqian was very gifted in composing and writing, so she wrote some songs.
Some of the works had been sold to singers.
“The singer has finished the recording, but the alb.u.m has not been released yet. Zhou Linna has already released the alb.u.m, if we release it, we will be accused of plagiarism,” Luo Qianqian said helplessly.
Gu Weiwei thought for a while and asked, “Is there no original script or recording file?”
Luo Qianqian shook her head. “I may have lost the original script at school and so it fell into Zhou Linna’s hands. We played it a few times but we did not record it.”
“Now Zhou Linna is using this song because she wants to create the impression that she is a talented girl.” Ji Cheng was very annoyed.
“Although we know that this song was written by Qianqian, without any evidence it will be very difficult to win even if we sue her.” Gu Weiwei calmly a.n.a.lyzed the situation.
Zhou Linna was a famous singer and Luo Qianqian was just a composer behind the scenes. Without absolute evidence, the public would think that she was trying to set her up.
Ji Cheng said, “Then what should we do? We can’t just watch her use the song worth thousands of yuan and say that she wrote it herself.”
She had never been on good terms with Zhou Linna in school.
After college, they did not meet each other anymore, so they did not see each other.
She had never expected that she would steal Luo Qianqian’s alb.u.m and say that she wrote it herself.
“Qianqian, what about yourself? What are your plans?” Gu Weiwei asked.
Luo Qianqian sighed helplessly and said, “This song is definitely not going to work now, so I am writing a new song for the singer to sing.”
Luckily, they had not released it yet, otherwise the matter would have blown up.
Even if she wrote the song herself, the public would still think that she was copying Zhou Linna’s work because she had no evidence.
Then she would not be able to explain herself.
