Chapter 147 Become Famous

In early March, the TV series "Unnatural Death" produced by TBS TV station was officially released. It will be broadcast every Sunday at 8 pm, with a total of ten episodes.

This TV series has been in preparation for more than a year. Both the male and female protagonists are popular stars in the film and television industry, especially Sakura Hoshino, who is almost the queen of TV with guaranteed ratings and is very popular both in Japan and abroad.

In addition to being popular on TBS TV station, video websites such as Station B, Youku, and iQiyi also purchased the copyright of this TV series and broadcast it at the same time. However, because it is a Japanese drama, more people watch it on Station B.

Originally, the broadcast of a Japanese drama did not attract much attention. Although Hoshino Sakura is very popular in China and South Korea, its popularity is limited.

In most cases, otakus will mention her when choosing their wives, but not many people actually watch her TV series.

But the OP singer of this TV series is Luo Quan, which is quite illegal.

Luo Quan's popularity in Station B is at its peak now. Just posting a video can get millions of clicks. This data is already the data of several of the oldest up owners in Station B. Among the many celebrities stationed on the station There is no one more popular than her.

In Japan, Luo Quan's status is even higher. I heard that the OP of this TV series is sung by Luo Quan. No matter whether it is good or not, I will at least come and take a look.

This is the star power that the crew of "Unnatural Death" wants. As long as the quality of the TV series is guaranteed, the more attention it gets, the faster the show will become popular.

Although the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, Luo Quan can completely make everyone take the initiative to drink. The two are not the same concept at all.

Therefore, on the day "Abnormal Death" was broadcast, it set a new high in TV drama ratings in 2017, and it was also the number one overseas drama in China.

Then, as Luo Quan remembers, the drama "Unnatural Death" exploded.

The next day, in the streets, alleys, on campus, and on the Internet, there were all voices discussing the drama. Some were discussing how the plot was very innovative, some were licking the faces of the male and female protagonists, and some were praising the choice of the TV series’ OP.

In fact, the song "Lemon" has always been ranked high on the Oricon charts. It has been at the forefront since its release last year. Only the recognized divine song "Don't Give Up" and "First Love", which won the top spot for 20 weeks in total, can Compare it to that.

The latter two songs have been taking turns at the top of the Oricon chart since August 2016, but on TIKTOK, the BGM most used by young people in Japan is "Lemon".

Perhaps the melody of this song is more lively and more suitable for this fast-paced society, or maybe it is the lyrics with a little warmth in the sadness that are more in line with the mood of young people in the new century.

At least in the minds of young people, its status can even be compared with "Don't Give Up"!

And such a song has now become the OP of the TV series "Unnatural Death", and it seems to have no sense of violation, as if it was tailor-made for it, which makes every fan very happy.

It's like your own child has been loved and recognized by the general public, and you feel proud.

Of course, this is all based on the excellent quality of "Unnormal Death" itself.

Not only in Japan, this TV series is also very popular in China. The level of discussion is only slightly worse than those popular TV series. This is only the first episode!

To see whether a TV series is popular or not, you only need to look at how many people listen to its opening or ending music.

"Lemon" had been popular on Douyin and other video platforms for a while, but it was soon replaced by more brainwashing songs.

As a result, with the popularity of "Unnormal Death", the song immediately became popular the next day, and even became more popular than it was in half a year!

Douyin is full of videos using it as BGM and countless versions of covers.

There are smokey voices, black voices, royal voices, uncle voices, and all kinds of bells and whistles.

These are actually fine. After all, there are so many people playing Douyin, and there must be many people who like different voices and singing methods. There is nothing wrong with using this method to attract attention and clicks.

You can't expect a bunch of ordinary people who haven't had professional training to sing as well as professional singers, let alone Luo Quan, who can sing very well even among professional singers.

So Luo Quan didn't pay much attention to those x-on:her on Bilibili who said that many covers of "Lemon" on Douyin ruined the song and asked her to issue a statement banning covers.

As for covers, she supports them as long as they don't blindly change the lyrics.

But there is one type of people that she can't stand at all, and that is people who change her songs to accompaniment, tinker with them into electronic music, and then upload them to music software and label them as the original singers.

This is no longer plagiarism. People who plagiarize at least change a few melodies, and then replace them with Chinese lyrics, euphemistically calling it sinicization. Although it is also unethical, it still gives some face.

And this is completely shameless and no different from stealing.

The key point is that this song sells for 3 yuan a piece on music platforms, which is more expensive than the album "18". What's even more magical is that the sales of this song are very good, and it directly entered the sales list of the day. The sales volume was only Second to "Light".

In other words, this person made over 100,000 RMB effortlessly with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Luo Quan looked at the comment section, and most of the people at the top praised this person's talent.

This person's name is "Cao Fan" and she is a woman. She has more than 500,000 fans on Yiyun. Luo Quan really doubts the taste of the general public. Do you even have fans of this kind of person?

After listening to her previous songs, the melody is okay, the singing skills are not even as good as KTV Mai Ba, and the lyrics are really incomprehensible and a bit unintelligible. And the comment sections of these songs are not entirely praising her, there are many The words mentioned the issues of Chineseization and plagiarism. It seems that this is not the first time this grassroots offender.

But such a repeat offender can have so many fans in Yi Yun and make a lot of money. This is simply blasphemy to those singers who are serious about making music!

Luo Quan is not complaining about herself, she just feels that the music environment in China is so bad, these "Chinese workers" and "thieves" really have to bear a very big responsibility!

She had never been so angry when Heizi scolded her. This time she was really angry and contacted Yi Yun's reviewers immediately.

"Hello, how may I serve you?"

"I'm Luo Quan."

"…………, is it the singer Luo Quan?"

"Yes, the one whose Weibo account was blocked."

"Pfft! Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, I have something to ask you."

"Please tell me."

"It's the singer Cao Fan. You know that, right?"

"Ah, you are talking about the singer Cao Fan. She is a signed singer on our platform."

"She uploaded a new song "Lemon" today. Have you heard of it?"

"I've never heard of this before. Her songs are reviewed by dedicated personnel. I'm not responsible for that."

"Except for the remix part, the melody and lyrics of that song are exactly the same as mine. It's just that she replaced my voice with her own. Can it be labeled as the original singer?"

"This...I'll check it right away!"

Luo Quan waited for more than a minute before the reviewer responded:

"It's like this. Before Cao Fan, many of your songs were uploaded to Yi Yun, but they were all tagged covers or fragments. Only Cao Fan's "Lemon" is the complete version, so she can tagged it as the original song."

"Don't you understand what I mean?" Luo Quan frowned, "Isn't this song not popular in China? The reviewers just passed it when it was uploaded, didn't they even check it?"

"The auditors have a heavy workload every day, so it is understandable that they will make mistakes."

"Okay, I won't ask about the previous matter. How to deal with it now?"

"We will verify what you said immediately. If it is true, I will contact the supervisor to deal with the song."

"Do you still need to verify? Do you need to contact the supervisor?" Luo Quan took a deep breath and kept reminding himself to be restrained and not to curse.

The other end of the phone quickly fell silent, but did not hang up.

Luo Quan was scrolling through Station B, searching for the keyword lemon.

It’s been a day and no one seems to have discovered this song yet.

After about ten minutes, the reviewer spoke again:

"Hello Luo Quan, we have already reviewed it here. Your song is indeed very similar to Cao Fan's "Lemon", but she is the first person to apply for the original singer, so it will be more troublesome to process. Ask here, Hasn't your song been officially released on Yiyun before?"

Luo Quan said solemnly: "My Japanese songs are all uploaded to Bilibili. The songs on domestic music platforms are basically pirated."

"That's right, it's because you didn't officially upload it to Yi Yun as a singer, so you gave others the opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Then it's my fault?" This theory of victim guilt comes again, and Luo Quan is really convinced by these people who confuse right and wrong.

"We all have some responsibility, but we, Yi Yun, pay the most attention to genuine copyrights. We will remove Cao Fan's songs as soon as possible."

Luo Quan's eyes widened: "Then, just take it off the shelves? Why don't you issue an apology statement and urge the reviewers to carefully review the uploaded songs in the future?"

"This... the supervisor has to arrange it himself. I'm just a messenger, I can't make the decision."

"Give me your supervisor's phone number, and I'll talk to him personally!"

The reviewer sounded a little embarrassed: "I don't have the supervisor's phone number, and he is very busy and may not have time to deal with these things."

"emm...Okay, then you should do it as soon as possible."

Luo Quan suppressed the urge to curse and hung up the phone with a bang.

"WQNMLGB!" Luo Quan lifted the pillow in a very ungrateful manner and threw it against the wall. Her messy hair covered her face and her pretty face that was distorted by anger.
