Resisting the urge to throw up Cao Feifei cleaned her dress using a tissue.She felt the urge to go up and slap Zhang Xiaohua but she held herself back thinking of her surrounding.
"As a young man you should have more honour than to act in such a fas.h.i.+on. Since everyone here is apart of the music industry then we should compete using music and if you fail to win you should accept it and try to better yourself not act like a rogue."
Just as Cao Feifei was speechless, Gao Xiaosong interrupted and spoke up for her.
But Zhang Xiaohua was no vegetarian by any means. Since Gao Xiaosong had decided to involve himself then he should be ready to be added to the hit-list.
Zhang Xiaohua shed all politeness and said: "You must be Gao Xiaosong I heard you were the one who wrote those songs for w.a.n.g Jingwen right. Fun fact if I remember correctly I have 13 songs which sound similar to except with different lyrics" Zhang Xiaohua then turned to Yuan Datong and deliberately asked: "The samples for the 13 songs are still there right? If we went to court and sue for plagiarism even if the evidence isn"t enough we can at least bring some light to the corruption in the music industry. It seems some "elders" aren"t willing to give up their place in the industry by stepping down so new talent can rise and revive the industry"
Although the sample for the 13 songs had been torn by Zhang Xiaohua the other party wasn"t aware of this.
Realizing this Yuan Datong said: "The sample is still in my safe. The date of creation is there. If we take the sample and go to court, we will have a good chance at winning the case. This type of crime falls within the scope of commercial fraud and and corporate espionage. Once convicted, the sentencing can be as high as 15 years in prison."
Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaosong immediately lost his composure.
After all, the 13 songs were stolen by w.a.n.g Jingwen. Although the style was different from the original song, Gao Xiaosong had kept some of the lyrics the same. The composition was created by Gao Xiaosong using the section sample he got from the pictures w.a.n.g Jingwen had taken but in the end he had ended up straying from the original.
If Zhang Xiaohua took the sample of the 13 songs to the court, though it was unlikely Gao Xiaosong would be convicted of plagiarism due to the significant changes he made. But because Zhang Xiaohua"s creation was made earlier than Gao Xiaosong"s there was bound to be skepticism and rumors floating about Gao Xiaosong"s reputation would be tainted instantly with that he would blacklisted in the entertainment circle no company would want to touch him.
In the past, Gao Xiaosong dared to plagiarize the 13 songs because Zhang Xiaohua and HuaXiang Entertainment had no fame and there was New Century behind him. Even if an incident occurred, New Century would easily settle it.
But now it is different.
HuaXiang Entertainment wasn"t the small company it used to be it was already a medium-sized company with hundreds of millions of a.s.sets. If it was really to go to court they wouldn"t be afraid of New Century.
Seeing Gao Xiaosong scared, Zhang Xiaohua proudly smiled.
Listening to Zhang Xiaohua"s unscrupulous ridicule, Gao Xiaosong said nothing, he buried his head in silence, his arrogance had been completely destroyed by Zhang Xiaohua. He just wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Cao Feifei stood there exasperated, she originally wanted to take the opportunity to embaress Zhang Xiaohua but instead she was humiliated by him.
She couldn"t help feel shocked at Zhang Xiaohua"s transformation, he used to wors.h.i.+p at her feet but now…
In the middle of their confrontation a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit slowly came over followed by large number of people behind him.
Zhang Xiaohua knew at a glance that this person wasn"t simple.
"Oh, how come General Manager Cao is still here? The c.o.c.ktail party is about to begin, let"s hurry up." The middle-aged man who took the lead to say and smiled at Cao Feifei. It looked like the relations.h.i.+p between the two wasn"t ordinary.
The organizers had not only arranged a press conference, but also arranged a reception Star Hotel, but HuaXiang Entertainment wasn"t invited. Of course, even if they were invited, Zhang Xiaohua wouldn"t go because he had sworn that he would never there before he acquired Star Hotel.
