The capital city, Shiyi Culture.
When Gu Weiwei arrived, Luo Qianqian and Ji Cheng were already there, and Qiao Lin had arranged for them to stay in his office.
"You've all arrived."
I thought it would only be Luo Qianqian, but I didn't expect that Ji Cheng, who should have been in school, would also come.
"Qianqian said you had something to discuss with us, and we also had something to discuss with you, so I asked for leave to come out." Ji Cheng, with her hair tied in a ponytail, looked quite playful.
Gu Weiwei entered the room, sat down, and took a sip of water to soothe her throat.
"What's wrong? It sounded pretty serious when you called last night."
“Back in middle school, I was really inspired and wrote a few songs. I lost the notebook I wrote them in, but I still remember the melodies, so I was going to use them in this album for the company’s artists. But…” Luo Qianqian bit her lip in frustration.
"But what?" Gu Weiwei frowned and pressed, "Does the artist have any objections?"
"No, we've already started recording this song, but we discovered that Zhou Linna's recently released new album's title track is the song I wrote." Luo Qianqian said, playing the music video for Zhou Linna's new album's title track on her computer.
Gu Weiwei silently finished reading it, then took Luo Qianqian's sheet music and looked at it again. Although some modifications had been made, the melodies of the two songs still overlapped significantly.
After reading it, Ji Cheng said, "When this song was written, we were still learning the piano from you, and you even played it once."
Gu Weiwei nodded, "Yes, I remember this song."
Like her father, Luo Qianqian was very inspired in composing and writing lyrics, so she started writing songs at that time.
Some of the works have now been sold to two singers in the company.
“The company’s singers have finished recording, but they haven’t been officially released yet. Zhou Linna’s album has already been released, and if we release ours, we’ll be accused of plagiarism,” Luo Qianqian said helplessly.
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips and thought for a while before asking.
"Is there no original manuscript or audio recording available now?"
Luo Qianqian shook her head, "The original manuscript was probably lost by accident at school and ended up in Zhou Linna's hands. We played it a few times ourselves at the time, but we didn't record it."
"Now, Zhou Linna is using this song to promote herself as a talented singer-songwriter." Ji Cheng was furious.
“Although we know that Qianqian wrote this song, we don’t have any evidence right now, so even if we file a lawsuit, it will be difficult to win.” Gu Weiwei calmly analyzed and judged the current situation.
Zhou Linna is now a somewhat famous singer, while Luo Qianqian is just a lyricist and composer behind the scenes. Without absolute evidence, filing a lawsuit would be seen by the public as an attempt to extort money.
Ji Cheng: "Then what can we do? We can't just watch her use Qianqian's songs and say that she wrote them herself."
I didn't get along with Zhou Linna back in school.
After university, we stopped seeing each other, so out of sight, out of mind.
To everyone's surprise, she stole Luo Qianqian's song to release an album, but claimed it was her own.
"Qianqian, what are your plans?" Gu Weiwei asked.
Luo Qianqian sighed helplessly and said.
"This song is definitely unusable now, so we're rewriting a new one and having the singer re-record it."
Fortunately, they haven't released it yet, otherwise things would have really gotten out of hand.
Even if it was a song she wrote herself, without evidence, she would be mistaken by outsiders as plagiarizing Zhou Linna's work.
At that point, she won't be able to explain herself even if she's in the right.
