Chapter 12 is plagiarized!
Shen Yuege thought for a moment and typed a reply to Lu Ran.
"It's done quite well. Huang Wenshan's works are of very high quality, so this album should be fine."
"I eat every meal on time."
Just after sending the message, Shen Yuege turned around and said, "Sister Jing, order me some takeout, something healthy."
Chen Jing was quite pleased to see that Shen Yuege had finally remembered that she hadn't eaten yet.
She had tried to persuade her several times to eat first before recording, but she didn't listen at all.
Could it be because of the message she just received? Could it be about her contract husband?
Chen Jing remembered that the two of them simply got a marriage certificate and had no feelings for each other.
Without thinking too much, Chen Jing hurriedly asked Shen Yuege's assistant, Yuan Jiayi, to order takeout.
Meanwhile, in mythological entertainment.
Looking at the evenly matched public opinion online, a shadow crossed Xu Manlin's beautiful face.
She hadn't expected Shen Yuege to be so well-prepared this time. Just now, she learned through a rumor that the title track of Shen Yuege's album was written by Huang Wenshan, and that all three songs were of very high quality.
Xu Manlin originally had a few decent songs, but after comparison, Shen Yuege's songs were still better.
"We can't let her get away with this so easily," Xu Manlin muttered to herself. She dialed a number. "I'll pay more. Dig deeper and find out more about Huang Wenshan's recent activities. He disappeared for two years. There's no way he could have gotten away with nothing! Also, you need to hurry up and write me some more songs."

Several days have passed, and Lu Ran's short drama is progressing very smoothly.
Tan Yu adopted a professional attitude, staying up all night to draw up multiple storyboards, and even consulted several senior directors in the company.
Liu Jun has been constantly refining "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible". After adding arrangement and recording, the short drama department has been listening to this song on repeat for the past few days. The catchy melody has brainwashed the entire short drama department.
To prepare for his role, Zhao Dapeng practiced in front of the mirror every day.
Sun Tianyu controlled the budget very well, and at the same time, he used the connections of the group to bring in many very talented extras from the Hengdian short drama department.
With a complete script and a full cast, the cost of a short drama is already low, and under Sun Tianyu's planning, the expenses are even lower.
Even the rented venue and equipment were purchased at a friendly price.
Lu Ran looked at the energetic team and felt quite gratified.
Besides finishing the script for "The Return of the God of War," he also took advantage of his free time to update "Battle Through the Heavens" for the following month.
What? You're saying Lu Ran is courting death? So many updates?
NO! NO! NO!
Lu Ran has already used the system's popularity points to redeem the complete set of "Battle Through the Heavens," including the "Battle Through the Heavens" anime.
Lu Ran's novel "Battle Through the Heavens" is currently enjoying high popularity, providing him with around 3 popularity points every day, and it is still showing signs of rising.
His novel, "The Return of the God of War," published under another pen name, also receives around 1 views per day.
Lu Ran now has over 100,000 popularity points, and feels an unprecedented sense of 'wealth'.
However, "Battle Through the Heavens" still updates with two chapters every day, and the missing chapters are still at crucial points, causing his readers to groan in despair.
For Shen Yuege, after nearly a week of preparation, the new album is also entering its final stages of completion.
The new album will be released the day after tomorrow.
But as the deadline approached, a bombshell news broke in the entertainment industry, like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire internet and catching Shen Yuege completely off guard, pushing her to the brink of disaster.
A well-known entertainment gossip blogger suddenly released a bombshell message:
Breaking News! Famous music producer Huang Wenshan suspected of plagiarism!
[Breaking News! Shen Yuege's mysterious producer is suspected to be Huang Wenshan, whose album's title track "Flowing Light" is a plagiarized song!]
The melody of "Flowing Light" is strikingly similar to a song released by an overseas singer two years ago! Audio comparison confirms it! See attached sheet music comparison and audio track analysis...
This Weibo post, accompanied by detailed comparison images and analysis, though somewhat rough around the edges, instantly ignited the entire internet.
For a singer, the word "plagiarism" is undoubtedly a fatal blow!
Suddenly, the fans who had previously supported Shen Yuege fell silent, replaced by overwhelming doubts and insults from the general public.
"Holy crap? Really? I just listened to them, and the two songs do sound pretty similar?"
"Is this song 'Flowing Light' really Shen Yuege's new song? The voice does sound very similar."
"It's confirmed! No wonder Huang Wenshan has disappeared for the past two years; he's run out of ideas and started plagiarizing!"
"I've stopped being a fan. Maybe Shen Yuege and Huang Wenshan have some shady dealings going on behind the scenes."
"Huang Wenshan, get out of the entertainment industry. Shen Yuege, get out of the entertainment industry."
In an instant, a flood of negative news emerged, and Shen Yuege's personal Weibo account and her studio's Weibo account were bombarded with negative comments.
The expectations and praise that fans had previously given to Shen Yuege have now turned into ridicule and abuse.
Inside Legendary Entertainment, the public relations teams were in complete disarray. None of them expected this to happen at the crucial moment when the new album was about to be released. The company held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
When Shen Yuege received Chen Jing's call in the recording studio, she was completely stunned, and her face turned pale instantly. She couldn't believe it was real.
"Impossible...Impossible, Sister Jing!" Her voice trembled. "'Flowing Light' is Teacher Huang's culmination of years of hard work. How could he possibly plagiarize it? There must be a mistake! Send me the other song so I can confirm it."
Chen Jing's voice was heavy on the other end of the phone: "Yuege, now is not the time to pursue this. The other side is very well prepared, and their chain of evidence is very complete. The company will do its best to handle emergency public relations, but you also need to prepare for the worst."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuege found a comparison online between "Fleeting Years" and the song that was plagiarized. She noticed the discrepancy at a glance.
The comparison images online only show partial clips. Regardless of the melody, arrangement, or harmony, they are completely different songs. The only difference is that the two songs are similar in musical style and have some similar chords.
15634145 is a classic chord progression in pop music, used in many songs. This does not prove that the song is plagiarized; it is simply a premeditated frame-up.
At this moment, Shen Yuege seemed to have found a solution: all she had to do was explain to the audience that it was just that the chords were the same and there was no plagiarism.
Shen Yuege quickly dialed Chen Jing's number: "Hey, Sister Jing, I listened to those two songs, they're completely different. We just need to clarify things on the studio's website."
Chen Jing's only response was a sigh: "Without Yuege, even if you explain, the average viewer won't understand, and besides..."
"Besides what?" Shen Yuege suddenly felt as if something bad was about to happen again.
"Hey, why don't you check the latest trending news?" Chen Jing didn't say it directly.
Shen Yuege quickly opened Weibo to check the latest trending topics.
