Chapter 126 - Fervent Support
The lasttime Lu Chen was attacked, Beijing Satellite TV did not speak.
But it wouldbe a big mistake to think that Beijing Satellite TV does not attach importanceto Lu Chen, or that it has been indifferent to his experience, especially whenit violates their interests.
If a tiger doesn"tshow its prestige, others will treat it as a sick cat.
BeijingSatellite TV is a flood dragon in Beijing. Once it gets angry, it also has thepower to overthrow mountains and seas!
At 11:15 onthe same evening that the "Singing China" program team arrived inBihai, Beijing Satellite TV Official V issued a stern announcement on Inspur Blog.
In theannouncement, Beijing Satellite TV said it had noticed what appeared on theInternet and launched a serious investigation in response to the public opinionof Lu Chen, a contestant of "Singing China".
After acareful investigation by the "Singing China" program group, it wasconfirmed that contestant Lu Chen owned all the copyrights to the songs hewrote (including, but not limited to, the copyrights that had beentransferred). Copyright registration websites are the "Greater China MusicLibrary" in China and the "Global Music Library" in the UnitedStates, both of which are the most authoritative music copyright organizations.
BeijingSatellite TV therefore determined that Lu Chen did not commit any plagiarism inhis creation, and the blog post of "Wandering Singer Lao Hai" and thestory of "In Spring" in Inspur blog has serious problems of confusing facts, misleadingnetizen, and fabricating obscure stories.
In order todefend the honor and reputation of "Singing China" contestants,Beijing Satellite TV, together with Lu Chen himself, reported to Inspur blog,requesting Inspur blog to conduct an open and fair investigation!
At the endof the announcement, the copyright doc.u.ments of 10 songs, including Chinese andEnglish, were attached.
This iscalled a well-founded, well-informed, and truthful statement!
As soon asthe announcement of Beijing Satellite TV Official V was made, a large number offorwards and comments were immediately received.
There was anuproar in Inspur Blog, because no one expected that Beijing Satellite TV would stronglysupport Lu Chen!
In fact,people who understands variety talent shows know that Beijing Satellite TV issupporting Lu Chen, not because they are defending his reputation, but whatthey are really defending is their own interests. Anyone who touches the dragon"sreverse scale will be killed.
11:35 pm. InspurBlog posted an announcement on their homepage.
The contentof the announcement was not long. Inspur Blog officials said that afterinvestigation, the blogger "Wandering Singer Lao Hai" and blog post"The Story of Me and In Spring", through Beijing Satellite TVofficial V report, did made a violation. Therefore, a deletion process wasgiven.
In addition,through technical tracing, the IP source of "Wandering Singer LaoHai" is in Huhai, which is identical to the IP of the well-known blogger"Rice Ball". The account of "Rice ball" has also beentemporarily closed.
If theprevious announcement of Beijing satellite TV official V sounded the horn tocounterattack, then the official announcement of Inspur Blog is to directly capturethe flag and immediately cut down the head of the culprit!
And to even cleanlydig up the skin.
Rice Ball isa big V in Inspur blog with 7.5 million fans, and he is also a famous marketinggiant.
WanderingSinger Lao Hai is actually his trumpet. Many people feel that they have beenfooled.
Didn"t yousay you were a wandering singer for more than 20 years? How did you suddenlybecome a famous big V?
This is simplycheating others!
The peoplewho had forwarded the post "The Story of Me and In Spring" were deleting theirpost, removing their likes, and acting as if nothing had happened.
Some of themreacted slowly, or were offline. As a result, their comment was blown up - areyou still concern about face?
As for the RiceBall"s blog, it was smashed by thousands of Lu Chen fans and pa.s.sers-by!
Because RiceBall"s account had been blocked, he couldn"t even close the comments or deletethe blog, so he had to watch himself being whipped and beaten.
This big Vis basically abolished.
In contrast,Lu Chen"s blog has returned to normal. Many pa.s.sers-by who had scolded him becauseof the misunderstanding came back to apologize to him and praised him. Theatmosphere in the comment area was warm and peaceful.
The blacktide, which had been directed at Lu Chen, had disappeared in the blink of aneye.
This is thetrend on the Internet, it often come and go quickly, unless someone adds fuelto the flame, otherwise the duration is very short, not to mention now that itwas beaten to death by a stick.
At 11:47,Tan Hong, who has 20 million + fans, spoke on his blog.
He expressedhis support to Lu Chen through his blog post, hoping that the latter would notbe affected by this plagiarism incident and not affect his performance in BihaiSinging Area compet.i.tion in the night after tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be reallya shame.
Tan Hongalso deeply laments the goodness of many netizens, who are too easily misledand moved by a fabricated story. As a result, a very talented young man was mistakenlywronged.
In fact, thebiggest loophole in "The Story of Me and In Spring" is that theso-called Beijing drifting singer did not register the copyright after hecreated his work, and did not even do the online filing, which is totallyagainst common sense.
Even if it"sa first draft, as long as it is uploaded to a big website such as QQ Music for record,one can prove the originality of one"s work without spending too much money,and it is also legally effective.
This is thebasic copyright knowledge and only few singers don"t know this, so one could comprehendthe truth of the story. But ordinary netizens do not understand this, which leadsto the spread of the plagiarism uproar.
Tan Hongsincerely hopes that similar incidents will not happen again and will notdamage the original works in China.
On thesurface, Tan Hong"s blog post was posted a little late, and the content wasalso a bit of suspicious.
But in fact, while he laments the goodness of netizens who don"t know the truth, he is also slapping the face of those people who forwarded the original blog post - yes, they do not understand, but do you also not understand?
It"s nothingmore than ulterior motives!
None ofthese people dared to jump out to refute it. Even if they were slapped on theface, they could only swallow blood.
Tan Hong hasmany fans, and Lu Chen"s popularity on Inspur Blog has soared again, and in afew hours, he actually appeared on the front page of the celebrity list!
After that,Chen Fei"er, Lin Zhijie and Zhen Zhen all sent blog posts to support Lu Chen.
The nextday, the third page headline of an entertainment newspaper was: "SingingChina" four judges supported the newcomers!
And in themorning, Lu Chen also posted a blog post.
At this time,the storm has basically calmed down. And because of the support of BeijingSatellite TV, Tan Hong, and other big shots in the circles, so whether it isthe blog, post bar or forum, the criticism of Lu Chen has disappeared.
In his blogpost, he first thanked Beijing Satellite TV and then thanked Tan Hong, ChenFei"er, and the other judges.
Then Lu Chensaid that after the two storms about himself in the Inspur Blog, he has abetter understanding about the dangers and complexity of the world, so he was.e.xtremely grateful to those fans who have always trusted and supported him.
He wanted totell all his fans that although he was slandered, misunderstood, humiliated andcursed…
He still hasthe dream of pursuing music, a pure heart that always persist and will neverchange!
Tomorrownight, Lu Chen will dedicate a brand-new work to all his supporters in the lastround of "Singing China" national tournament.
Please lookforward to it. Thank you!

What LuChen"s fan talked about the most is his new work. They are just waiting for themystery to be revealed.
…….
On theevening of August 20, "Singing China" Bihai singing area tournament,which is also the last national tournament, was broadcasted live on time tohundreds of millions of viewers across the country in the indoor hall of BihaiGymnasium. (TN: Tournament = knockout compet.i.tion or PK)
The indoorhall of Bihai Gymnasium can accommodate 5,000 spectators and has become a hugeperformance stage after a temporary renovation.
The 5,000seats were packed, all 24 cameras were in place, and all the staff of theprogram group were on duty. And when the clock jumped to 07:30, the theme song"Life On A String" suddenly sounded in the venue.
The host ofthe scene appeared on the stage, read the short advertis.e.m.e.nt with intensespeed, and then invited the judges to the stage.
Tan Hong,Chen Fei er, Lin Zhijie, and Zhen Zhen…
The four judges,who are already familiar to the national audience, appeared one by one, andeach of them drew enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience,especially for the Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen.
Next, thereis the exciting tournament draw. (TN: Who will face who)
The fate ofthe 10 members of the tour team VS the top 10 contestant in Bihai singing arealies on the small control b.u.t.ton in the hands of the four judges.
Tan Hong wasthe first to press the b.u.t.ton to pull out the first pair of compet.i.torstonight.
The largescreen immediately displayed the photos of the 20 contestants, which were splitto the left and right, and were rolling up and down.
Until TanHong presses it again, and it stop!
The firstpair of compet.i.tors emerged in an instant. The tour team, Zhang Junhua VS Bihaitop 10 Lin Meiru!
The twoappeared separately, singing their own songs, which were then scored by thejudges and the audience on and off the site.
Those withhigh scores will win and be in the top 10 in the country.
The losersare naturally eliminated, and there is no revival segment in the compet.i.tion,so it is extremely cruel.
Such a ruleis undoubtedly not entirely fair, because two of the strongest singers may b.u.mpinto each other, and then one of them is bound to be kicked out, either in thetop 10, or the team singing. (TN: No clue about the team singing)
However,this just improves the excitement and appreciation of the compet.i.tion, andincreases the interest of the program.
Along theway of the tournament, many of the eliminated contestants are very regrettable.
It is notthat they are not strong, but that they have unfortunately encountered a strongeropponent and have no luck to move on.
And Lu Chenis undoubtedly the most formidable opponent!
