s.h.i.+ Jin’s expression remained calm as she said, “You said that I bought my songs from you. Then you should have the complete score, right?”
“Not only do I have the complete score, but seven days ago, I sang these two songs in my live stream!” He held up his phone. “You can all go to the records!”
Someone immediately went to look for his livestream records from seven days ago. He had indeed sung two songs in it. These two songs were unheard of on the market.
However, he was unpopular. Back then, not many people paid attention to him when he sang it, and no one spread it, so basically no one discussed it.
Everyone went to listen. This style was really a little like s.h.i.+ Jin’s.
!!
And it was only six days ago that s.h.i.+ Jin announced her new songs and revealed its contents to the public.
In other words, no matter what, it was definitely not a coincidence that this person knew the content of s.h.i.+ Jin’s songs first.
The fans at the scene were very protective of s.h.i.+ Jin. “Do you think that’s s.h.i.+ Jin’s song? Who knows if you’re taking advantage of the situation? How can you prove it?”
“Exactly. You just pick up two random songs and say they’re s.h.i.+ Jin’s?”
Cai Yuning’s face turned red. “Why not? Isn’t s.h.i.+ Jin’s new song going to be released soon? Everyone will be able to hear it soon. Once they hear it, they can compare it, right?”
The people watching the live broadcast already trusted Cai Yuning. “s.h.i.+ Jin’s fans are so stupid. What’s the point of defending s.h.i.+ Jin like this? Whether the song is the same, it can be verified immediately. They’re also brainless.”
s.h.i.+ Jin stood up. There was no trace of embarra.s.sment or awkwardness on her face as she looked at him levelly. “You mean that I bought—no, s.n.a.t.c.hed—my two new songs from you and used them as my own without giving you the right to sign them, is that it?”
“That’s right. You and your manager came to talk to me personally!”
“Is there any evidence?”
“Of course, it’s impossible to leave any written evidence for such a matter. You were afraid that I’d bite back. Of course, there’s no evidence of us meeting! Even the cash was paid to me in person. I don’t have any evidence other than the tune that was reserved for the live broadcast!”
Cai Yuning’s words were reasonable, and many people who were watching the live broadcast sympathized with him.
“That’s the power of capital! Nothing good ever comes of it!”
“Fortunately, Cai Yuning held back. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself!”
“Hey, is s.h.i.+ Jin’s persona going to be destroyed?”
“Speaking of which, since s.h.i.+ Jin bought so many songs, why did only Cai Yuning come out? Did they not give enough money to him? Or is there some other conflict of interest?”
“If the others follow him out to cause trouble, s.h.i.+ Jin will really face trouble!”
Cai Yuning stared at s.h.i.+ Jin and said righteously, “s.h.i.+ Jin, do you dare to release your two new songs now?”
“Originally, it would have taken some time for these two new songs to be released. I made an appointment with the platform at that time…”
“You don’t dare anymore, do you?” Cai Yuning mocked.
“…However, since you’ve said so, I’ll discuss with the platform and release it half an hour early. It shouldn’t matter. How about this? Listen to the version that I’ve reserved on my phone first. I’ll get someone to communicate with the platform and release the complete version in a while.”
s.h.i.+ Jin opened the phone and music came on.
Her tune and lyrics were completely in line with what Cai Yuning had sung in the live-stream seven days ago.
For a moment, the news spread like wildfire.
As the onlookers gossiped, they looked at s.h.i.+ Jin and realized that she really did not look worried at all.
Someone couldn’t help but scold her. “She must have thought of a countermeasure and taken the money to settle the matter. That’s why she’s so fearless.”
“Sigh, she’s so beautiful. She can just rely on her face to make a living, but she has to set up the image of a talented woman. Now, she’s being slapped in the face. Seriously!”
“No one wants to be treated as a stupid beauty. s.h.i.+ Jin wants to set up the image of a talented woman because she wants to be more compatible with Fu Xiuyuan! Otherwise, it’s really easy for a female artiste to be looked down upon by wealthy families!”
The fans were very worried. “What exactly is going on with s.h.i.+ Jin? I believe she must be innocent, but why does she look so calm?”
“Everyone, quickly help think of a way to resolve this matter. Do we really have to watch as people slander s.h.i.+ Jin?”
However, the fans were all at the bottom. How could they think of any effective way to help s.h.i.+ Jin resolve the problem?
For a moment, almost the entire fan and entertainment circles were waiting for things to develop.
When the two reserved songs on s.h.i.+ Jin’s phone finished playing, the matter had already reached an extremely serious stage.
Everyone was wondering if s.h.i.+ Jin’s song was composed by Cai Yuning.
When the song ended, Cai Yuning said loudly, “Anyone with ears can tell that you bought this song from me. Do you have anything else to say now?”
s.h.i.+ Jin said, “Then I hope you can log into the music app now and see how my new song is released.”
Everyone quickly logged into the app and clicked on s.h.i.+ Jin’s new song.
When she clicked on it, the tune was consistent and the lyrics were no different.
However, the creator was not s.h.i.+ Jin. The first song clearly said: Written by: Xia Peifeng, Lyrics by: Gu Qinghua, s.h.i.+ Jin.
Song number two, Lyrics by: Zhang Jia, Written by: Ye Peiwen.
Previously, Cai Yuning kept saying that s.h.i.+ Jin had bought the song from him, but the content that she took out was not copyrighted by s.h.i.+ Jin at all. At most, it was just s.h.i.+ Jin collaborating to write the lyrics.
Moreover, these people’s names were all well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry. It was impossible for s.h.i.+ Jin to get so many people to give her fake evidence at the same time!
Cai Yuning was a little fl.u.s.tered. “How easy is it to change the names on the app? You have power and influence, so what can’t you do? You’re just trying to use this method to mislead the public and refute me! But it’s really impossible to fake it! You stole my things, so it’s impossible for you to fake it!”
“Yes, what’s on the app can be changed! But what about what’s on-site?” s.h.i.+ Jin countered, reaching up to part a red cloth from the stage.
What appeared in front of everyone was a display board. The songwriters on it were exactly the same as the ones on the app. There were Xia Peifeng, Gu Qinghua, Zhang Jia, and Ye Peiwen.
Cai Yuning’s expression changed drastically.
s.h.i.+ Jin raised her eyebrows, her eyes sharp, and her tone cold. “As everyone can see, our display board has always been placed here and hasn’t been touched. The content on it is like this.
This time, thanks to my friends in the industry for supporting my concert, they’ve written two songs specifically for me. I plan to use both songs for the concert, and I was about to invite these friends to be my guests at the concert. That’s why I brought their names to this press conference. I also wanted to thank them for their creativity and support.”
