Chapter 25 Who knew Teacher Wang could tell fortunes?
The plagiarism incident escalated over two days, with public opinion shifting from disappointment with the Chinese music scene to personal attacks against Chen Fan.
"Plagiarist! Get out of the Masked New Voice program! Get out of the Chinese music scene!"
"I knew it! How could a mediocre student possibly write songs like 'A Person Like Me' and 'Cooling Down'? Turns out he's a plagiarist!"
"You've embarrassed us internationally! Get out!"
"They've been proven guilty from every angle, yet they still appear on TV shows!"
"Seriously, it's worse than singing foreign songs! I'm speechless!"
"Everyone's making such accusations, but why doesn't the guy whose work was plagiarized come forward to prove it? Couldn't it be that he just listened to a song by Fanren, liked it so much, and then played it?"
"Do you even believe what you're saying? That young man exudes the aura of a master; why would she bother talking to a plagiarist like him?"
"But these songs, with styles I've never heard before, really don't seem like plagiarism!"
"If you got a hundred copies by plagiarism, would you admit you plagiarized them?"
This also reveals that the public has zero tolerance for plagiarism.
Chen Fan turned off his phone, put on a mask and wore a mascot costume, and prepared diligently backstage.
"Welcome to the national auditions for Masked New Voice!"
"We've been through a month and a half since the end of June!"
"Today will be the battlefield for elites from all over the country! Please stay tuned!"
After the touching opening, the national preliminary competition officially began.
Chen Fan was still collecting evidence at this time.
Isn't it said that he plagiarized?
He then downloaded and printed out the time when he registered the sheet music at the filing center, and then took a screenshot of the recording time of the program from the official account of "Master Class".
The difference is immediately apparent, one in the morning and one in the evening.
In addition, he is also practicing the instruments needed for the piece "Blue and White Porcelain".
There's no way around it; if you want to make something big, you have to put in the effort.
Although he knows a little about these instruments, he hasn't played them for many years and still needs to familiarize himself with them.
In a place like Beijing where land is incredibly expensive, it's really hard to find a place with such a complete selection of musical instruments.
Fortunately, his number one fan, Yun Duo, is a wealthy woman who easily found him a practice room outside the Third Ring Road.
Musical instruments and all sorts of other instruments are available.
Chen Fan spent the whole day inside.
The next morning, Chen Fan walked out of the classroom with huge dark circles under his eyes.
Yun Duo had already advanced in yesterday's competition, but she still dressed up and went to the venue to watch Chen Fan slap the face of that annoying Wang Junhai.
The venue of the Beijing National Stadium is much larger than that of the Zhonghai Olympic Sports Center.
There were over 100,000 viewers.
When Chen Fan appeared on stage wearing a thin mask and a mascot costume, the fans in the audience couldn't help but cover their mouths.
Since being accused of plagiarism, Chen Fan has remained silent.
This move was seen as a sign that he had no way to defend himself.
But fans still insist that someone who can create such soulful songs would not plagiarize, nor would they stoop to plagiarism.
But Chen Fan's fans can't compare to the number of fans of the contestants who were incited.
Over the past three days, Fan's fans have been forced to retreat again and again.
When fans saw Chen Fan again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Chen Fan knew exactly what the online sentiment would be these next two days, so the first thing he did when he went on stage was to bow to the audience.
"It's okay!"
At that moment, someone in the audience shouted first.
"It's okay!"
"It's okay! It's okay!"
Then the crowd raised their green ribbons and waved them at Chen Fan on the stage.
That was the color of the mascot costume he wore in his first competition.
When Chen Fan got up and saw this scene, his eyes welled up with tears.
The production team seized the opportunity and filmed the scene.
The scene was a sea of green, instantly stirring up emotions in everyone's hearts!
Wang Junhai, who witnessed all of this, became even more gloomy.
Just two short months...
This kid already has such influence; even though the plagiarism scandal has caused a huge uproar, so many people still choose to support him.
At this moment, he was incredibly grateful for his decision.
Although it was rushed, if he waited until this kid stepped onto a bigger stage, it would be a million times more difficult for him to take action against him than it is now.
"An extraordinary contestant among ordinary people, I heard you're preparing to compose lyrics and music on the spot to prove your innocence."
Wang Junhai pushed up his glasses and continued maliciously, "However, this doesn't necessarily prove you're the composer. What if you memorized the score beforehand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone couldn't help but think: It seems that's really the case?
After Wang Junhai finished speaking, he stared intently at Chen Fan.
Wait and see him collapse because he can't prove his originality, and see how he falls from the peak!
A rising star in the music industry?
It has to rise to be called a star, and coincidentally, he is best at making new stars fall!
Chen Fan chuckled upon hearing this, "I never imagined Teacher Wang could tell fortunes!"
Chen Fan's words elicited snickers from the audience, prompting Wang Junhai to slam his fist on the table again: "I see you can't prove your originality and are deliberately stalling for time!"
"Otherwise, how do you know I can't prove it before I've even done anything?"
Chen Fan retorted in a mild but not overtly harsh way.
The scene fell silent once again because of those words.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that the words sounded very familiar, and many of them had already taken out their phones to start recording.
Upon hearing this, Wang Junhai felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment Chen Fan took out his phone and started making calls.
Soon, several screenshots appeared on the big screen.
It is a screenshot of the national copyright website.
The works are "A Person Like Me", "Anhe Bridge", "Counterattack", "Cooling Down" and "Ten Years".
The registration period begins on June 18th, with each registration date being two or three days before the competition day.
The copyright registration for the song "Liang Liang" was on July 2nd.
Following the copyright registration date were Chen Fan's handwritten sheet music and lyrics.
This notebook is the original owner's diary.
He would jot down some inspirations every day. Chen Fan looked through them after he arrived, and later casually used them to write down his interpretations. He also followed the original owner's habit of writing the date each time.
The traces of "originality" are even more obvious in this notebook.
There are misspelled words, and some parts have been changed because they no longer exist in today's society.
These were all recorded, becoming yet another irrefutable proof of Chen Fan's originality.
If the copyright registration date can indicate when Chen Fan submitted the music for registration, then...
Therefore, this diary is irrefutable evidence of his creative process.
Finally, there's the leaked footage of the recording of CCTV's "Master Class" program.
That day was July 12th.
It's a full 10 days late!
"I am very sorry that my personal actions have caused a bad impression on the production team and everyone else!"
"Today I will demonstrate my creative process live. I can't let the original creators take the blame because of my mistake!"
Chen Fan's words resonated with everyone present.
The production team also discovered that the number of original songs in this competition had decreased sharply due to the plagiarism incident.
Chen Fan actually wanted to prove himself after seeing some self-proclaimed purists in China constantly taking the opportunity to boast that there were no such plagiarism scandals abroad.
After Chen Fan finished speaking firmly, he entered the glass enclosure prepared by the production team and began creating.
The large screen displayed the image directly above his head; there was nothing on the white paper.
He raised his hand and put down his pen, but all he drew was... a bowl!
