My Son Might Be A Villain

Netizen: OMG! Did that mean Shengding failed to purchase the music and created their own piece based on the submitted sample?

Netizen: What do you mean by “based on”? That’s straight up plagiarism. Is that even legal?

Netizen: They didn’t even have the copyright and they were modifying someone else’s music? Did they really think that they can walk on water because they are a big company?

Netizen: I am purely neutral, but I have listened to both songs and Yu LeLe’s one is much better.

Netizen: I’m studying music and the topic of our class this afternoon was to compare these two songs. Yu LeLe’s “Past” is a very good and very complete piece. As for the other one, once you have written down the music score and composition, you would notice many spots were very awkward. See the attached pictures.

Naturally, there were other netizens that stood their ground and insisted that Shengding would never stoop that low. As far as competing over a piece of music was concerned, there was no reason why Shengding would lose to Yu LeLe's Studio.

Some even thought that this composer who was contracted to Yu LeLe's Studio was made up by them. After all, if they could compose something like “Past”, there was no reason that nobody had ever heard of this person up until now.

Right about this time, another piece of evidence was revealed online.

This time, it wasn’t from Yu LeLe's Studio. It was from a regular Weibo user by the name of Li XiaoXue. Li Xue was that hard-working college student that Su Ran had run into at the club that she used to work at.

Ever since school had started, Li Xue had switched to a day job of handing out flyers. She only listened to that song that night when her roommate recommended it to her.

As soon as she heard it, it immediately reminded her of one of the ten songs the little big sister played at the club.

The little big sister had told her that these music had not yet been released but would be soon. She was telling her the truth.

Li Xue was very excited and desperately wanted to share the song. And that’s when she read about all the plagiarism scandal.

Reading through all the comments, including the ones that said the composer might be fabricated by Yu LeLe's Studio, Li Xue was furious.

Finally, she couldn’t help but upload the original footage that she had onto Weibo.

@Li XiaoXue: I just saw the most trending list and I don’t know whether me releasing this video clip would negatively affect the little big sister, but between the braindead netizens and the water army, I couldn’t help myself anymore. I must share what I know!

Below was a video clip that I had recorded by chance when I was working at a shop over the summer vacation. The little big sister was recording her music using the piano at the shop. The music in the video released by *****ding corporation during the rehearsal, before it was crudely altered, pardon me, was also one of the ones that little big sister had performed (the third piece!)

As soon as the video was released, it brought about an uproar on the internet.

In addition to the discussion over the plagiarism by Yu LeLe, many people’s focus had derailed.

Netizen: Ten songs in a row and she wasn’t even out of breath. How was she able to do that?

Netizen: OMG! They were amazing. I thought Past was already the best song I have heard this year. I never would have imagined that there could be music better than Past. Someone please link me to the other nine songs.

Netizen: Perhaps they have not been released yet. Otherwise there was no way I have never heard of them before!

Netizen: Was I the only one who noticed that the little big sister performing was also very pretty?

This video was taken stealthily from several meters away. In the video, it was dark all around except for the one light that casted down in the middle. It was just enough for everyone to see a corner of the piano as well as the side profile of the one playing the piano.

It was a bit on the blurry side, but one could still tell that the woman in the video was quite attractive.

Netizen: No, you are not the only one!

Netizen: Are you sure the one playing the piano was also the composer? What I want to say is: if that’s the case, I am now a fan of hers!
