Chapter 408: The Battle for a New Song Worth Millions Leads to Punishment for the Publicity Director (1/2)

As is widely known.

China actually has two Forbidden Cities.

One is in the north, and the other is in the south.

This time, they hope to use Wang Yueheng's "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales".

That is the Zhongshan Palace in the southern part of the northern province!

The Zhongshan Palace Museum is one of the three major museums in China.

The museum houses nearly 700,000 cultural relics.

Chinese historical figures' calligraphy and paintings, enamel carvings...

Countless rare treasures.

It ranks eighteenth among museums worldwide.

Pang Yingzhen, the curator of the Zhongshan Palace Museum, even spoke out.

I'm willing to exchange 20 kilograms of gold for the promotional song for Wang Yueheng's new song.

Converted into Chinese Yuan, that's tens of millions of yuan in cash.

These words were spoken.

The internal network was immediately in an uproar.

The news even reached the program's live audience very quickly.

The judges were shocked when they learned of the unexpected situation outside the venue.

The song that Wang Yueheng just sang during his live stream.

Then, an organization spent tens of millions to buy it.

And it's almost double the market price!

What a terrifying influence this is!

More importantly.

The organization that stepped forward to buy the song was not an ordinary commercial entity.

It is another world-renowned museum in China.

It's also named "Forbidden City"!

The way judges Liu Dan and others looked at Wang Yueheng changed once again.

If they weren't deliberately hired shills.

There is probably no other artist who can have such an influence.

At this moment, the faces of Kyoto Museum Director Zhan Chongdao and others were extremely grim.

It's clearly a song that Wang Yueheng wrote for himself at the invitation of the production team.

In the end, they faced being outmaneuvered by a third party.

Furthermore, the other party shamelessly claimed that "The Call" is the official promotional song of the Kyoto Palace Museum.

The Kyoto Palace Museum officials were even unable to defend themselves.

Such misunderstandings and disputes were clearly caused by Zheng Jianjia, the head of the publicity department.

In a short time.

There were also disagreements within the Kyoto National Palace Museum.

This is a song sung by Wang Yueheng to promote the Forbidden City.

In terms of both quality and artistic conception, it far surpasses "The Call" which has already been broadcast on CCTV.

In addition, there is the specifically mentioned connotation of Chinese history and civilization.

It must not be taken away by the Bay North Provincial Museum under any circumstances.

Otherwise, we might really make a fool of ourselves overseas.

However, Wang Yueheng himself was still present at the competition.

There was no commissioned work agreement signed between the National Palace Museum in Kyoto and the museum.

A scenic area cannot force Wang Yueheng to donate his song free of charge.

Moreover, this was all in order to exclude Wang Yueheng.

Zheng Jianjia has taken it upon himself to have his new song "Calling" broadcast extensively on CCTV and radio stations.

The Kyoto Museum has made it clear that they do not want Wang Yueheng's songs.

Why should someone refuse a ten million dollar fee for a song?

Instead, they sent the song to the National Palace Museum in Kyoto?

...

"Director Zheng, what do you think we should do to resolve this?"

"It's about having Wang Yueheng directly use this song 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales' to endorse the Taipei Provincial Palace Museum, making the whole world laugh at our capital."

"Or should you go and persuade him to give up twenty kilograms of gold and donate this song to us for free?"

While the competition to appear on the Spring Festival Gala was still underway.

An emergency internal meeting was also held at the National Palace Museum in Kyoto.

In front of all the leaders in the museum, the curator Zhan Chongdao directly named Zheng Jianjia.

He was asked to provide a reasonable solution.

This was the first time that Zhan Chongdao, the curator, had ever lost his temper like this in front of everyone.

All the attendees were aware of this.

The old curator was taking advantage of this rare opportunity to deal with Zheng Jianjia.

After all, this self-righteous propaganda director has made this mistake more than once or twice.

Relying on his father's position in a higher-level department, he acted arrogantly and lawlessly.

This time, they finally made a mess of things.

Besides the several department heads who had a private relationship with Zheng Jianjia and shared interests with him, there were also others involved.

Most people were secretly gloating, waiting to see the propaganda director make a fool of himself.

"Director Zhan, I bear some responsibility for this, but I can't be entirely blamed."

"If Wang Yueheng had explained his song to us in detail back then, wouldn't I have accepted it?"

“I was trying to do my job properly and had good intentions when I talked to him, but who knew he was so young and arrogant, and looked down on everyone.”

"I was forced to choose Professor Liu Huan's work, is that alright?"

Zheng Jianjia, equally ashen-faced, countered with his own explanation.

If it weren't for the Zhongshan Palace Museum suddenly stepping in, this would have been a disaster.

It doesn't matter how many awards Wang Yueheng wins.

Anyway, I just won't use the other person's songs, so what if the whole society thinks they're good?

But when the Taipei Palace Museum came out, the nature of the situation completely changed.

Even if his own father intervened, this matter would not be resolved in just a few words.

After all, it involves a sensitive situation.

What surprised him the most was...

She knew that Wang Yueheng was quite outstanding.

But I never expected it to be this good.

Even world-renowned museums have stepped up to compete for the song.

This caused Zheng Jianjia, who was always arrogant and conceited, great distress.

"I suggest that if he really dares to give the song to the Zhongshan Palace Museum, we should directly sue him for copyright infringement and work with relevant departments to ban him!"

“I remember he wrote about the Forbidden City in his song, but the Forbidden City in the south isn’t called the Forbidden City.”

Zheng Jianjia, still unconvinced, continued to come up with crooked tricks.

Every time I encounter an artist who doesn't listen to reason...

The first word and method he could think of was "ban"!

And it has proven effective time and again.

"Ha, they can't even change the lyrics? Just sit back and wait for you to sue them?"

“Wang Yueheng participated in a variety show hosted by a central media outlet, which was watched and listened to by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers across the internet.”

"Just because of one song, you went and colluded with relevant departments to ban it?"

"Do you think you're too comfortable in your position as head of the publicity department, or do you think I, the museum director, should step down?"

After listening to Zheng Jianjia's rebuttal, Zhan Chongdao frowned even more and rebuked him without any politeness.

Such an idea is more than just unreasonable.

That's just outrageous and unruly.

It's hard to believe that an official leader could come up with such a solution.

"I…"

For a moment, Zheng Jianjia was also stumped by the question, staring wide-eyed and unable to utter a word.

really.

If Wang Yueheng changed the lyrics, only the words "Forbidden City" would remain.

On what grounds do you claim that the other party has infringed on your rights?

They're singing about the Forbidden City in Taiwan!

This commotion caused...

Wang Yueheng will certainly provoke dissatisfaction and anger from the leaders of the Kyoto propaganda department.

However, the person in charge of publicity will definitely be in deep trouble.

This is the end of my career in politics.

A completely lose-lose situation!

Moreover, if Wang Yueheng is determined to make things difficult for himself...

You could also choose not to license this song to any party.

Every time the audience hears "The Call," they laugh at the Palace Museum.

That would result in even greater losses for our side!

Until this point.

Zheng Jianjia finally started to panic.

Knowing that he had made a decision on his own, he had run into a brick wall.

The old curator clearly wanted to take this opportunity to give himself a serious dressing down.

Even if it were the father of a higher-level leader, they would have nothing to say.

"Director, I..."
