They will also pay special attention to and love this traditional Chinese culture!
"Next, let's explore how to incorporate songs into puppet shows..."
After singing it twice in a row.
Once everyone had memorized the general melody of the song.
Wang Yueheng then continued to discuss with Bai Haisheng and others how to incorporate the actors' performances into the process.
...
While Wang Yueheng was busy rehearsing a new program with the puppet troupe.
The Palace Museum, inside the director's office.
Museum director Zhan Chongdao is currently having a meeting with several deputy directors and the newly appointed publicity director.
A group of people sat on the sofa with serious expressions, creating an exceptionally solemn and somber atmosphere.
"Distinguished leaders, based on the feedback we just received regarding online public opinion..."
"Just when we announced that we would be filming a promotional video for the Forbidden City."
"A singer from the UK named Ivy made a statement on his personal blog on his foreign website this morning."
“Wang Yueheng’s promotional song for our Palace Museum, ‘Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales,’ plagiarized one of his previous songs.”
"This matter is currently causing a great stir on the internet, especially on YouTube, with a cumulative viewership exceeding 30 million."
"It has had a tremendous negative impact on the image of Wang Yueheng and even our Palace Museum."
"And the British Council also stepped in immediately."
"We should request a response from our cultural authorities through diplomatic channels."...
Lu Tongbai, the newly appointed head of the publicity department, held a stack of documents and reported with a serious expression.
"That's ridiculous! How could a Chinese song be copied from their English song?"
"Besides, it's a song specifically written for our Forbidden City, so there's no reason for it to be similar to a foreign singer like him!"
Dai Zishou, the deputy director who had previously held a management position at the Press and Publication Association, frowned and was the first to raise a question.
The first thing I did upon hearing this news was...
His first thought was that this foreign singer was planning to use the popularity of Wang Yueheng's promotional song to promote himself.
But upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right.
Although Wang Yueheng is very popular in the Chinese music scene, very few people overseas know him.
The other party is a foreign singer who doesn't come to China to develop his career.
What benefits does Wang Yueheng, who staged the accident, gain?
"Has the singer revealed which song was specifically plagiarized?"
"He can't just start making things up and expect the whole world to believe him, can he?"
Another news department manager asked curiously.
"I've investigated it."
According to Ivic, Wang Yueheng plagiarized a work he stored on TIKTOC, the draft box of the international version of the Douyin app.
The song is called "Bluesky".
"And according to professional musicians who listened to the song, there are indeed several similar melodies."
"But the time that Ivik showed the drafts were uploaded to was after Wang Yueheng sang 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales'."
"He himself showed a screenshot of the creation time of the original song file on his blog, which was in February of this year."
"That must have been earlier than when Wang Yueheng created 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales'."
"Furthermore, Ivy also claimed that Wang Yueheng spied on his drafts through the international version of Douyin's backend."
"They claimed that TIKTOC is a privacy-violating software and strongly demanded that it be separated from the domestic Douyin Group."
"You leaders may not know that Wang Yueheng is also one of the shareholders of Douyin software."
"Although the percentage held is not high, it is indeed among the top 100 shareholders."
Lu Tongbai, head of the publicity department, continued to explain.
"Are you kidding me? You can use a screenshot like this as evidence?"
"Do you think their British courts would accept such evidence?"
After hearing Lu Tongbai's explanation, Deputy Curator Dai Zishou became even angrier.
"Anyone in China who has studied computers knows that it's incredibly easy to modify the creation time of an original file."
“I remember that some people in China used this method to smear other singers for plagiarism before.”
"If we send a computer technology expert to investigate, they can find out in no time whether the evidence is fabricated or not."
"I suspect they did this entirely out of deliberate slander against the Forbidden City!"
Another department head then shared his thoughts.
"Has there been any background check on that singer named Ivic? Any news?"
After listening to the questions raised by several colleagues, the curator, Zhan Chongdao, who had remained silent until now, finally asked.
"We've investigated. This singer named Ivic has a history of making and behaving hateful remarks about China."
"And he had communicated and made contact with bad elements in Hong Kong Island."
"And this time, he was backed by the propaganda agency of the British Museum."
"The reason why the British Council attaches so much importance to this is most likely because the British Museum is involved."
Lu Tongbai answered immediately.
The British Cultural Council is similar to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in China.
It is also the direct superior authority of the British Museum.
The British Museum?
Upon hearing this word...
Curator Zhan Chongdao frowned immediately.
"Ah, no wonder..."
"No wonder this British singer is so smearing our Palace Museum promotional song."
Upon hearing this, the other leaders seemed to have immediately identified the crux of the conflict.
The Palace Museum is promoting a documentary series about the Forbidden City that it will be filming and releasing.
It is impossible to avoid the shameful years that foreign bandits once plundered China.
These are Chinese cultural relics that were looted by these overseas robbers and bandits.
A large number of them ended up in the hands of the British Museum.
There's even a saying circulating in the art collecting world that makes every Chinese person weep with grief:
"The best cultural relics in China are not in the Forbidden City, but in the British Museum!"
The Palace Museum in Beijing, the capital of China, houses approximately 1.8 million cultural relics.
The number of cultural relics looted and lost overseas is as high as 17 million pieces.
In other words...
The cultural relics of the Chinese nation that have been lost overseas are almost equivalent to those of ten Forbidden Cities!
The British Museum holds the largest collection of artifacts lost from China.
Official records indicate there are more than 23,000 items.
However, according to unofficial rumors, the number could very well exceed 200,000!
Moreover, each of these cultural relics is priceless.
"The British Museum is clearly a thief and bandit, yet it's now turning around and accusing others."
"They're afraid our propaganda documentary will reveal the truth about their banditry, so they're smearing us for plagiarism in advance!"
"This is blatant hypocrisy, a complete thief crying 'stop thief!' They're
After roughly understanding the sequence of events, Deputy Curator Dai Zishou roared in anger.
"Not only that, this time they've also teamed up with the United States to target the Douyin Group once again!"
“To slander Wang Yueheng, one can see the draft boxes of overseas Douyin users from the domestic backend.”
"Perhaps they also want to show their loyalty to the United States."
"Supporting their efforts to separate the domestic Douyin app from the overseas TikTok management rights is malicious!"
Curator Zhan Chongdao also frowned, and then shared his analysis.
If this matter is not handled properly, it could very well have a negative impact on the Palace Museum internationally.
This gives those unscrupulous Western media outlets that support Ivankovic another opportunity to distort the truth.
"We have also issued a statement saying that we do not accept the evidence of plagiarism provided by Ivic."
"But what's next? We can't really send someone all the way to England to take him to court over such an absurd rumor, can we?"
Lu Tongbai looked at the curator and expressed his concerns.
Have you contacted Wang Yueheng? What is his attitude?
Instead of answering directly, Zhan Chongdao asked a question.
"It is said that he is rehearsing a new song for tonight's Qixi Festival opera gala, and his phone is temporarily switched off so we cannot reach him."
"But we have already notified his agent, the girl named Mo Zixue."
She said she would discuss it with Wang Yueheng and give him a reply as soon as possible.
Lu Tongbai said quickly.
"A Qixi Festival opera gala? He's going to perform at that show too?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Yueheng had just finished participating in "I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala" and went straight to the Qixi Festival Opera Gala, which is comparable to the Spring Festival Gala of the opera world.
Zhan Chongdao was also taken aback by Wang Yueheng's wide range of stage presence.
"This matter is ultimately aimed at Wang Yueheng himself, so we shouldn't rush to give a response to the outside world."
"We will communicate with Wang Yueheng to refine the response before providing a follow-up answer."
"I have a feeling that Wang Yueheng will come up with a better way to deal with this than we will!"
After some deliberation, the curator, Zhan Chongdao, immediately made the decision.
