Entertaining Children

  Chapter 579 XY is Xiao Yao?

   "August 1st, what are you going to do?" Xiao Yao and Xiao Siqi were mentally prepared for the exposure of plagiarism. To clarify, Xiao Siqi will of course also participate in it. This son had a big idea, and Xiao Siqi was the first to call to ask about Xiao Yao's plan.

"What else can I do? Hold a press conference." Xiao Yao said, "Now the online upload looks like this, and all the media are looking for me to interview. When every family talks about the past, how long do they have to talk about? Of course it's open. The press conference brought the media together to clarify."

   "Okay," Xiao Siqi agreed with Xiao Yao's decision, and then asked, "Should it be opened in Yanjing or Shencheng? I will let the people from the studio's public relations department contact the venue in advance to make preparations."

"I'm not going to Yanjing, and you are not going to Shanghai, we will open in Hunan." Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, we are going to Xiangnan to participate in the recording of the next episode of "Singer". Now we are leaving the next episode of recording. It’s not a few days. Let’s go to Shonan in advance, develop a conference just the day before the recording, and take part in the next program recording when we are finished. This will prevent us from running around each other so much."

   "This is a good idea, so let's put it on the long yarn." Xiao Siqi agreed, "I will immediately let the public relations department go to the long yarn to prepare."

   "Okay," Xiao Yao said, "Then let's meet directly at Longsha. I still have some preparations to do on my side. Don't forget what you need to prepare on your side."

   "Don't worry," Xiao Siqi smiled, "I have been waiting for this day since ten years ago, and I will never forget it!"

   While the public and the media were talking about Xiao Yao’s silence on the plagiarism incident, Qi Jia Studio suddenly issued a statement on both the official Weibo and the website. Announced that a press conference will be held this week in the press conference hall of the Excelle Hotel in Gaonan Gaoguansha City. Xiao Yao himself will publicly respond to the plagiarism on the Internet at this stage. Journalists and media professionals are welcome to visit participate.

  In addition to the announcements on Weibo and the official website, many media that have a good relationship with Qijia Studio were also invited to participate in the press conference and invited media reporters to participate in the press conference.

   The day before the tenth issue of "The Singer" was recorded at 9:40 in the morning. There are already dozens of media reporters in the press conference hall of the Excelle Hotel in the high-ranking official yarn city of southern Hunan. Because of Xiao Yao's identity, the reporters who came here were not just media reporters for entertainment news, but also reporters from a dozen social news media.

  At ten o'clock in the morning, the protagonist arrived on time, and the host of this press conference immediately announced the start of the conference.

"Welcome all friends from the media to visit us. This press conference is held today to clarify the incident of Xiao Yao's plagiarism reposted on the Internet and in some media during this period." In addition to the host standing on the side, the rostrum Only Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao and his son were sitting side by side. It was Xiao Siqi who spoke.

Seeing all the media reporters in the audience looked attentive, Xiao Siqi continued to announce solemnly: "Here, our studio solemnly assures everyone that Xiao Yao certainly did not plagiarize American pianos as stated in some online posts and comments. The music works of the composer and performer Horn Burnie. Not only Mr Horn Burnie, but all signed works by Xiao Yao, there is no plagiarism."

  If you admit plagiarism, you can make a statement at most. There is no need to make such a formal press conference to embarrass the father and son and the studio in public. Therefore, the media reporters present were psychologically prepared for Xiao Siqi's remarks. Xiao Siqi's remarks were originally expected by the media. But just such a remark, without any explanation for the accusation of plagiarism, is obviously not enough to satisfy and beat the media reporters present at the scene. Therefore, after Xiao Siqi finished his speech, most of the media reporters on the scene raised their arms almost immediately, indicating that they wanted to ask questions.

  After the speech, Xiao Siqi looked at the densely raised arms in the crowd, and did not immediately signal the host of the press conference to select reporters to ask questions. Instead, he looked sideways at Xiao Yao who was sitting next to him. Xiao Yao adjusted the angle of the microphone in front of him, smiled and said to the media reporters at the scene: "I think the question everyone wants to ask now should be the same. I also know what this question is, so I will do something first. Explain and explain."

  Hearing Xiao Yao say this, many media reporters put down their raised hands and turned their attention to Xiao Yao who was next to Xiao Siqi, waiting for his speech. Most of them believe that what Xiao Yao wants to say now is definitely the answer to the question they want to ask.

Xiao Yao raised a finger and said: "First of all, I will explain to everyone. The three pieces of "Childhood Memories", "Daydream" and "Serenade" in my original piano music album, and Mr. Horne Bernie once The three pieces that he performed at his concert are indeed exactly the same in terms of melody!"

   "Wow~" As soon as Xiao Yao said this, the media reporters at the scene were immediately in an uproar.

  Most of the media reporters thought that Xiao Yao would explain to everyone the differences between the songs from a professional perspective of music, but unexpectedly, more arms were raised up immediately.

"But!" Xiao Yao also turned a blind eye to those raised arms, and continued on his own, "Those three pieces are not the original works of Mr. Horn. Bernie! Although Mr. Horn. Bernie is indeed very good. A well-known composer, but as a pianist, not all the pieces he played at the concert were written by himself. These three pieces are not! Since these three pieces are not Mr. Horne Bernie himself Created, then I can't talk about copying his music!"

   "You said those three songs were not written by Horn Bernie, is there any evidence?" A young male reporter couldn't help standing up and interjecting. He really couldn't wait for the reporter's question session, and was selected by the host to stand up and ask questions.

  After Xiao Yao’s plagiarism was exposed, everyone also had some basic understanding of that Horn Bernie. Regardless of domestic and foreign, many music performers themselves are composers. This Horne Bernie happens to be a composer himself, and the music he composed is mainly piano music. Although the music he performed at the concert is not 100% created by himself, except for some classic works by music masters who have a pivotal position in history, most of the new songs are created by him. of. Xiao Yao said that those three pieces were not composed by Horn Bernie, and reporters dare not believe it or believe it all.

  "This media friend, there is no time for the questioning session yet." The host of the press conference on the side said humanely.

"It's okay! Since the reporter friends are so eager to ask questions, let's enter the reporter's questioning session in advance." Xiao Yao waved his hand to the host first, then turned to look at the reporter who asked the question, "Of course the evidence is Yes! I have a video of Mr. Horne Bernie’s statement here."

  Speaking, Xiao Yao picked up a remote control at his hand and pressed a button against a projector installed on the top of the hall. A video appeared on a large white screen on the left of the background behind Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao.

"Hello everyone, I am Horne Bernie!" In the video, a middle-aged white man in a black suit faces the camera and said in English, "I hereby declare to everyone, "Childhood Memories" and " The three pieces of "Daydream" and "Serenade" are not my original music works, but the commercial performance rights I purchased from other composers."

  After the plagiarism incident was exposed, many people went to the pianist who was far away in the United States to get a certain degree of understanding, at least his length was very familiar to the media reporters at the scene. The middle-aged white man in the video is a close-up shot of his upper body very close to the camera, and his face is very clear. Almost immediately, the reporters recognized that the middle-aged white man in the video was indeed the Horne Bernie.

   Hearing that Horne Bernie said that he was not the original author of the three songs, but the commercial performance copyright purchased from others, many reporters on the scene showed surprised expressions. Many of the media reporters at the scene also reported on Xiao Yao’s plagiarism of American pianist Horn Bernie’s works, but before they reported it, they didn’t know that Horn Bernie was not the case. The original author of the three songs.

  Of course, we can’t blame the reporters for not doing their homework. Because these three pieces have only appeared on the scene of Horn Bernie’s concert, they have never appeared in the music album released by Horn Bernie. You can’t see the introduction of the author in the album. At the concert Horn Bernie did not specifically introduce the author of each piece he played. Everyone took it for granted that these three pieces were the same as the other new pieces by Horn Bernie.

  However, it’s not Horn Bernie’s own music, and it doesn’t mean Xiao Yao created it. Although the media reporters at the scene were surprised, they did not speak out because the video was still playing. They were curious to know if Horne Bernie himself would name the original author of these three songs in the video.

  Horn Bernie did say it. The name was not Xiao Yao as everyone expected, but it also surprised the media reporters on the spot.

"Among them, "Childhood Memories" and "Day Dream" were purchased nine years ago, and "Serenade" was purchased three years ago. The original author of these three pieces is the same person. I don't know his real name, I only know him. It uses two letters to make the name. He is called XY!"

   "XY?!" The reporters on the scene exclaimed, "Is that mysterious XY again? His works have been sold to the United States? And it was ten years ago?"

  But now is not the time to lament XY's awesomeness. Today's protagonist is Xiao Yao. The thing to find out is whether Xiao Yao has plagiarized! Although everyone knows that the mysterious XY is a friend of Xiao Siqi, and most of them will not stand up and publicly accuse Xiao Yao of plagiarism, but plagiarism is plagiarism. As long as it is not written by you, if you take the things of your father’s friends as your own, you will also People spurned, even relying on the relationship of acquaintances, others will not trouble you, just so unscrupulously taking other people's things as their own, it is even worse.

"I think you guys don't need me to translate?" At the end of the video, Xiao Yao continued with a smile, "If any reporter friend doubts the authenticity of the video, I can send a copy of the video to everyone, and you can find technology The personnel can do technical appraisal of the video images and audio, or find a lip language expert to interpret the lip language."

  It’s not that no one had flashed this idea in their minds at the scene, but since Xiao Yao dared to speak out, there is probably no flaw at this point. And if these three songs were created by XY, most of the on-site reporters would also choose to believe it. But the question now is, even if what Horn Bernie said is true, you Xiao Yao is still a shameful copywriter. What's so good about you?

"Even if Horn Bernie is not the original author of those three pieces of music, it can't be the reason why you didn't plagiarize, right?" Another reporter stood up and asked, "Is it plagiarism to plagiarize Horn Bernie's song? Isn’t XY’s music plagiarized? Even if XY is unwilling to come forward and accuse you face to face because of your father’s relationship, it can’t change the fact that you’re plagiarizing someone else’s music?”

   "Heh~" Xiao Yao snorted and looked at the reporter who stood up and asked, "If it is someone else's song, it is indeed plagiarism! What if it is your own song? Is it also plagiarism?"

  "Your own song?" The reporter who asked the question also sneered, and then reacted, his face changed color, and an expression of disbelief said, "What do you mean?"

   "Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "I am XY! Do you want me to admit that I have copied myself?"

   "No way?!" The reporters on the scene uttered a cry of exclamation, and they all looked at Xiao Yao incredulously.

   "How is it possible?" the reporter who stood up and asked the question subconsciously said.

  "Why is it impossible?" Xiao Yao said, "XY? X is the pinyin initials of Xiao character, and Y is the pinyin initials of Yao character. Is this name not enough to explain the problem?"

  The media reporters at the scene listened to Xiao Yao's words, and thought a little bit in their hearts, and found that this was really the case.

   "Is XY really Xiao Yao?" Many people suddenly had such an idea in their hearts, but they were quickly overthrown by themselves, because it was really incredible.

"What if this is just a coincidence?" The reporter who stood up and asked again asked the voice of the reporters present, "The first time XY's work appeared, but it was more than ten years ago. How old were you at that time? Isn't this ridiculous?"

   "I'll answer this question!" Xiao Siqi leaned in front of the microphone and smiled and accepted the reporter's question.
