Chapter 63 Chapter 63
As soon as Lia returned to school, Xia Qing came to greet her. She had taken a class leave, then her lunch break, to go to the company. The other students assumed she was unwell and had gone to the infirmary, but Xia Qing was the only one who knew her true whereabouts.
"How's it going?" "The company's trying to figure it out." Lia said in a low voice, her expression unclear. Xia Qing frowned, propping up her chin as she sat across from her. "I don't quite understand. Can't this kind of thing be clarified directly?"
She spoke innocently, "It's just like a TV show, where they just 'swish' out a bunch of comparison pictures and soundtracks." Lia shook her head.
"From a technical perspective, many creative elements have commonalities, such as rhythm patterns, chord progressions, synthesizer effects... It's actually very difficult to judge whether it's 'plagiarism' based solely on comparing audio tracks." She has thought about this.
I'd even drafted the post and was ready to post it on my trumpet. But the chorus melody I was accused of plagiarizing did have some similarities, just from a sound point of view. Posting it hastily might not achieve the desired effect. What's more—
"People's focus isn't really on the music itself, is it?" She raised her eyes, her tone light and firm. It wasn't that she was being petty, but most of the posts on the forum were meant to vent emotions.
There were very few voices willing to be objective. "That's true," Xia Qing curled her lips. "Being famous just makes people jealous. They don't care whether it's real or fake."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Lia took out the textbook. "How are you preparing for the afternoon's mock exam?" "Inhumane!" Xia Qing wailed. She covered her face and pretended to cry, while silently taking a few steps back. Talking to the King of Papers,
It would become unfortunate. Lia smiled, lowering her eyes to hide her emotions. Being famous meant attracting jealousy. The essence of public opinion was nothing more than a mass emotional outburst. He just happened to become a target. ...
Soon, YG's negotiations yielded results. In March 2010, Quan Zhilong flew to the United States to meet with Flo
The second version of "Heartbreaker" co-produced by Rida was officially released, directly shattering the previously popular "plagiarism" rumors.
Rida even traveled to Korea to perform a collaboration with Kwon Ji-yong. This brought the "plagiarism incident" to a close. Meanwhile, Bigbang also experienced a breakthrough in Japan.
After releasing their first Japanese album "BIGBANG" last year and entering the Oricon Top 10, the group has released a series of hits including "Tell Me Goodbye", "Beautiful
Hangover" and other Japanese singles, continuing to expand their influence in Japan. Media, variety shows, tours... In less than a year, Bigbang, a foreign Korean idol group, successfully entered the Japanese market.
With their success in overseas markets, the attitude of the Korean media has also undergone a 180-degree change.
The text that once pointed out that Quan Zhilong was a "packaged idol" seemed to have never existed. Now, when reports mention Bigbang, the tone is mostly tolerant and praiseworthy. "The new representative of Korean music", "K-
Headlines like "Pop Pioneers the World" frequently appeared in the media. This was public opinion. Positions and truth were never the same thing. * Meanwhile, Lia's senior year of high school progressed smoothly.
There's a saying that goes like this: when you run with all your might in one direction, time slips by silently and quickly. This is especially true for high school seniors.
The mock exams continued one after another, the pace tight and intense. In a blink of an eye, the day of the college entrance exam arrived. Outside the exam hall, reporters from several major television stations lined the school gates, waiting to capture the first footage of the students emerging.
The broadcast truck parked on the side of the road, staff members frantically adjusting equipment, checking angles and lighting. As the bell rang, signaling the end of the final exam, students filed out of the examination room, and reporters, microphones in hand, dove into the crowd.
The reporter assigned by KBS was a newcomer who had recently taken up his post. Excited by the station's important assignment, he'd been up all night for several nights. Even with dark circles under his eyes, even thick foundation couldn't hide them, he tried hard to stay focused for the camera.
"You're watching KBS Evening News now. I'm reporter Kim Moon-hee," he said, directing the camera to focus on a girl next to him. "This is a student from Seoul Third Middle School. Please say hello to the camera."
"Hello everyone, my name is Jin Yan." The girl was a little shy. "Oh, we are from the same family." Jin Wenxi continued enthusiastically, "Jin Yan, how did you feel about this exam?"
"Ah..." Jin Yan looked embarrassed, "It's okay." "Is it very difficult?" He immediately caught the other party's subtext.
"Hmm...it was much harder than the usual mock exams. I didn't finish the last big math question," she said, feeling a little frustrated. Jin Wenxi comforted her gently, "Don't be discouraged. Hard questions are hard for everyone. Just perform at your normal level."
"The exams are over, is there anything you want to do?" He changed this question at the last minute - the original sentence in the script, "Do you have the confidence to get into your ideal university?", was obviously inappropriate.
"Yes!" Jin Yan's expression brightened. "I want to watch a drama first. I haven't watched one for a long time. There are also concerts. I have to catch up on them one by one." She couldn't wait to sit down and read the entertainment news for the night.
Jin Wenxi took the opportunity to promote: "KBS TV station is currently broadcasting the campus drama "God of Study". You can watch it when you get home." After saying that, he secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart: Well done for not forgetting to advertise for the station.
Jin Yan nodded repeatedly. After interviewing several candidates in a row, Jin Wenxi felt a little tired. The students who had just finished the college entrance examination were in different states, but their spirits were all beautiful. — like some unknown animal just out of the cage.
At that moment, the camera beside her suddenly shifted its lens to the direction of the school gate. Jin Wenxi looked in the direction of the camera, her eyes lighting up. Lia and Xia Qing had just walked out of the school gate.
For the last exam, the two were assigned to classrooms close to each other, so they agreed to leave together after the exam. A male reporter approached them, followed by a camera.
"Hello, students. I'm a KBS reporter. Can I have a quick interview?" Before Lia could even begin, Xia Qing excitedly replied, "Of course!" Jin Wenxi's heart tightened. The symptoms were similar.
He secretly let out a breath and asked as usual: "How did you feel about the exam? Was it difficult?" Xia Qing's face immediately fell and he shrank behind Lia.
Lia didn't react much. Seeing Xia Qing remained silent, she took the microphone and said, "It's not bad. A little harder than the usual mock exams, but within the test range." Jin Wenxi was slightly surprised. This was the first "not difficult" answer he had heard today.
He had originally thought she looked good and familiar, hoping she'd help the TV station with ratings, but he'd never expected her to be a top student. He asked earnestly, "Which university are you applying to?" "Seoul National University." —!!!
This interview was good enough. Jin Wenxi and the photographer exchanged a glance, both delighted. Regardless of whether the other person actually passed the exam, this answer was enough to grab attention.
"Are you confident? How are your grades?" he asked patiently. Xia Qing poked her head out: "Excellent." Then she pulled it back. Lia couldn't help but laugh.
Although she felt a little arrogant saying that in front of the camera, based on her estimated scores after the exam, she had a high probability of getting in. So she didn't deny it. "Congratulations in advance," Jin Wenxi said with a smile. "What are your plans after the exam?"
Xia Qing perked up now. "Let's have fun for three days and three nights," she counted on her fingers. "Then we'll go on a trip. When we get back, school will be almost ready to start." She blinked and looked at Lia. Lia was speechless.
"I...work?" For a moment, the three of them fell silent. She herself felt her answer was a bit abrupt and scratched her head awkwardly. She was telling the truth.
She'd fallen behind on a lot of work during her exam preparations, and Jung Rae-chae had asked her for a few OST demos, which she still hadn't finished. Kim Moon-hee was quite surprised: "Excuse me, what's the work?"
Besides studying, what else can a high school senior do? "I'm studying behind-the-scenes production at an entertainment company. We're half colleagues," Lia said with a vague smile.
Seeing she didn't want to talk any further, Jin Wenxi wisely stopped there and didn't ask any further questions. The interview was edited and broadcast that evening. The college entrance examination is a major event that attracts attention from all over the country, and the more time passes, the more its popularity fades.
Major broadcasters were scrambling to seize the opportunity. Unsurprisingly, Lia's segment on "Seoul University Volunteers" became a ratings hit for KBS's news segment. Of course, most viewers tuned in out of curiosity about "Seoul University."
But soon, someone posted on the forum and recognized her. "Oh my god, why haven't I seen her in YG videos lately? Turns out she's taking the college entrance exam?" "Lia baby!! Are you going to Seoul National University?"
"Who's so arrogant? Wouldn't it be a big loss if I don't pass the exam?" "I've been a fan before, but honestly... it's a bit hasty to say that before the scores are out." "Let's wait for the results. Isn't it too early to criticize others now?"
"Working after finishing senior year? Seriously?" "I'd be lying. I'll probably be traveling tomorrow." ... The discussion on the forum was in full swing. And Lia, just as she said, was actually working.
In a Spanish restaurant in Jiangnan, Zheng Lai Cai saw her from afar and waved to her.
