Chapter 43 Gossip about BGM copyright being too expensive to be broadcast

The van gradually drove towards the port. According to this development, if their destination was the dock, then would this be a rhythm of survival on a deserted island + camping on the island?

When Yu Yu was making the travel guide, he also checked the small islands around Ningbo City. As time went by, the islanders who originally relied on fishing left their homes one after another to work in the cities on the mainland. Many islands have been abandoned, or only a few elderly and children are left behind to persist.

Far away from city life, the economic conditions on the island are not good, and I don’t know which island the program crew will arrange this time.

Seeing this trend, others also began to discuss what the program crew wanted to shoot. They had previously reminded them to wear comfortable shoes with high heels, and if possible, it would be best to wear clothes that are resistant to dirt.

Comfortable sneakers are easy to understand, as they are convenient for travel and can be worn on country roads. But clothes that don't stain are a little more interesting. After all, they are here to film a variety show, so brightly colored clothes will definitely look better on camera, while clothes that don't stain are mostly dull dark tones.

Could it be that the environment of the destination they were heading to was too harsh, so they had to go deep into the mountains and forests, rolling and crawling in the mud?

That shouldn't be the case. The production team had previously hinted that they were going to camp on an island or at the beach, so the environment shouldn't be that bad. Besides, they are all self-aware. Most of them are fragile players who will fall in seconds, and they are not young anymore. We can't suddenly increase the intensity for them, right?

Zhang Yuan was joking like this and did not take the program team's instructions too seriously. In his opinion, this was just an exaggeration at best.

Normally, the program crew would not increase the strength of these old babes in the Novice Village, but suddenly a full-level boss sneaked into the Novice Village.

After the outdoor experience of the deep archaeological master over the years, the director team had to overturn the previous plan, absorb opinions from all parties, and reorganize the work to prevent the maximum level master from directly running through the first episode with his six pendants.

The music radio in the car had already played more than a dozen songs. After playing their songs in rotation, Su Xing began to play music by other singers. Some of them Yu Yu had heard before, and some he found very unfamiliar but with good melodies and lyrics. He did add a lot of new songs to the Porcelain National Songs list under the recommendation of Su Xing.

Perhaps it was because the production crew respected them and did not broadcast their words after they were drunk during the Mushroom House period, which gave the brothers some initial trust in the production crew. This time, after their topic was opened, it gradually went off track and started to involve a lot of things that could not be broadcast.

It’s not that there is any adult content that needs to be censored, but rather talking about the private relationships between family and friends, gossiping about the private lives of two bachelors, and the natural flow of swear words when one is provoked.

A group of grown men maintain their public image in front of the camera and the public, but they all debuted through folk talent shows and were ordinary people before becoming stars. It is normal for them to have some worldly manners in private.

Including Yu Yu, ignoring his background that is full of cheats and golden fingers in this life, he was born in an ordinary family in his previous life.

"The footage is still recording, and you guys are starting to do nonsense again." Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, wondering if he really hasn't met any girls he's attracted to recently.

Su Xing bluntly exposed his past: "I introduced him to someone before, but none of them worked out. It's not that I don't want to help you."

"Ahhh, stop talking. I'm just too busy with too many chores. What can I do? I'm so busy that I can't even go home for a good night's sleep for ten days or half a month. How can I do that?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Zhang Yuan just started to throw away all hope.

It’s just that I don’t know whether I should envy him or feel sorry for him because he is too busy making money from too many menial jobs and has no time to date girls. Maybe the title of King of Menial Jobs comes with the debuff of being destined to be alone.

Yu Yu felt sorry for him and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, the copyright fee for the song "Enchanted" is quite expensive and this show can't afford it, so they can't broadcast it."

"Hahaha, that's true, Yuanyuan, Taylor Swift's copyright is very strict." When it comes to copyright, Lu Hu is very familiar with it. After all, he is now the big boss behind the scenes who holds the copyrights of countless songs. If he wants to give up, he can support himself with the copyright fees. But he just wants to be in front of the camera.

Xie Xie, I feel comforted by the gossip that will not be broadcast because the copyright fee is too expensive.

Zhang Yuan was a little speechless. He turned to look at Yu Yu who was smiling with a gloating look on her face: "You are still comforting me, Yu Yu. You are a single salted fish yourself. I haven't seen you find someone in all these years. Otherwise, you can find someone to marry in Porcelain Country and stay here."

Zhang Yuan originally just wanted to drag him into this, but as he was talking, he suddenly felt that this was a very good idea. His eyes suddenly lit up. If Yu Yu could stay in China, there would be no visa repatriation problems in the future.

"What you said makes sense, Yu. Have you ever thought about staying here? You are half Chinese." Chen Hesheng looked at him, and others echoed him.

Su Xing didn't say anything. He glanced at Yu Yu in the rearview mirror through his translucent sunglasses, and found that his expression didn't change at all. He looked away again, put his hand on the car window, and tapped the rhythm with his fingers to the melody of the song.

"Ah? I really haven't thought about this question yet, nor have I thought about my significant other. The system in our country is quite strict. Not just anyone can come here if they want."

Yu Yu didn't expect that they would suddenly ask him such a sensitive question.

In fact, he had no concept of different nationalities. After all, the planet where he lived in his previous life had already been unified, and the concept of the same planet and the same home had long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

In this life, family reasons aroused his rebelliousness, making him even more unwilling to be branded by the country of his birth. He only belongs to music and is only loyal to music.

If he was born into an ordinary wealthy and powerful family, he might have been able to find a way to stay, but unfortunately, with such an overly wealthy family background, this was almost impossible.

Unless his cheap father passed the title of heir to his cheap sister? Emmm, his cheap sister, who had to take over the family business because of his "idleness", was already looking for a secret recipe to prevent hair loss. If she knew that he still wanted to throw this responsibility to her, she would probably rush over and tear him apart.

But if he takes on the responsibility of being the heir, he will be branded with the label of his birth country and represent his birth country, which is fatal.

In fact, there is another reason why Yu Yu has been staying in Porcelain Country. That is, he just wants to avoid the limelight and stay away from disputes. After his cheap father takes power and stabilizes it, he will definitely announce his successor. No matter how long he delays, this day will come...

Or he could go back when he has time and let his cheap father delay for a while. Anyway, his body is strong and can hold on for several more decades. It won’t be too late for him to announce it when he is in his seventies or eighties and is about to close his eyes and fall into eternal sleep.

This is what the filial son Yu Yu planned, but he also understood that the freedom he gained by delaying in this way came with a countdown and shackles, one of which was that he must never leave the country where he was born.

What is this called? Personal wishes are nothing in front of Guo Jia. From this point of view, the world is really complicated. If it were in the previous life, there would never be such a problem.

Before Yu Yu could say anything, the expensive background music had already been played to the end. Wang Yuexin quickly raised her hand to stop Yu Yu and said to DJ Allen Su, "Master, please change to another expensive BGM. Let's play Query's, which is also quite expensive."

"Release Q God?" Wang Zhengliang suddenly raised his glasses meaningfully.

Wang Yuexin understood the deep meaning behind Wang Zhengliang's words. He leaned forward and said to him, "Brother Liang, you have also read the gossip before, right?"

"Then we have to keep abreast of the latest developments in the music industry, right?" Wang Zhengliang said seriously.

"What kind of melon is it?" As long as it is not his own melon, the Chinese people's nature of loving to eat melons will be stimulated.

"It's an old story from several years ago. Don't you know? Q God and Taylor Swift have always had a good relationship. They have been friends for more than ten years and they always guest at each other's concerts. There were several times during the tour when Q God left the stage as a guest and Taylor Swift would start singing "Enchanted". Wow, tsk tsk tsk, 'I was enchanted to meet you'. Think about it carefully. In the first few years, the gossip about the two of them was very serious and well-organized."

Wang Yuexin explained that the scandal between Q God and Taylor Swift is a thing of the past. From the initial excitement to now, no one even bothers to mention it. In the early years, some fans may have been led astray and started to support them or started to boycott and protest.

As a result, up to now, Q God is still doing his own thing and is nowhere to be found, regardless of your fans crying and making a fuss, while Taylor Swift has changed boyfriends so many times but she is still the top star in her career. Everyone knows that they are just old friends, and now the rumors are more of a joke.

Su Xing also knew this gossip, and he followed suit and played Query's song.

The feeling that every word was about her was quite subtle, as she didn't mention her name. Yu Yu kept smiling obediently and sat in the back seat, not daring to say a word.

Not to mention Taylor Swift, Query and other female friends were all rumored by the European and American media that he himself didn't know about, but Taylor Swift is too famous and they are indeed friends for many years. As for the fact that they continued to sing "Enchanted" after he left the stage, it was because the tour playlist was arranged like this, not every time.

In recent years, it seems that for the sake of zzzq, even male friends have become famous. It is not easy to make a living from this.

However, it is not known whether Wang Yuexin did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Yu Yu's previous topic was interrupted and confused.

To be honest, it is quite useful to use the disguised melon to save the real melon. Maybe I can use it more in the future.

The others were listening to Query's previous chart-topping songs on the speakers. As musicians, they usually pay attention to the works of famous singers from all over the world, and Q God is naturally among them.

They had heard this song when it was first released, and it even sparked discussion and analysis of the song in the group at the time. Now, listening to it as travel music has a different feeling.

A very familiar feeling.

This familiarity is not because they have heard it before.

"Hey Yuyu, I suddenly realized that Q God's voice is quite similar to yours." Wang Yuexin said in surprise.

"Is it possible that Yu Yu's voice is quite similar to Q God's?" Zhang Yuan corrected.

"Yes, it's quite similar. Look at the treatment of the tail sound and the use of reverberation." Professor Wang found the highlight. "Xiaoyu, you learned this from Q God's songs, right?"

"Yeah, I've studied singing methods." Yu Yu nodded. What he said was the truth. His study of Q God was the same as his study of his own singing skills and how to improve them. There was nothing wrong with that.

The more Su Xing listened, the more he felt something was wrong, but he didn't catch it until Chen Qiansheng woke him up with a word -

"It's not just the vocals, but also the arrangement style. Listen to the electric guitar and the chords."

The style of arranging music is like a person's handwriting. Of course, the handwriting may change. Sometimes you will copy calligraphy to write the most standard handwriting, sometimes you will imitate other people's handwriting, and sometimes you will not learn anything and just do whatever you feel comfortable with.

But no matter how it changes, every stroke, every right stroke, every horizontal line and every crescent will more or less bear its own imprint. Some imprints are deep and obvious, while others are shallow and vague.

In the past few days, Yu Yu frequently sent them demos and sang with them. The gap of not having heard Yu Yu's music for more than ten years had long disappeared, and it was even almost to the point of being extremely familiar with them.

So Chen Xisheng could hear at this moment that although the styles were different, the arrangement techniques of this song and the demo that Yu Yu gave him had many similarities.

If Chen Qiesheng’s demo is not of the same type, then Su Xing’s three-song-in-one song is of the same style.

Su Xing finally discovered something was wrong. The songs were completely different, but the arrangement techniques were exactly the same. Even the name of Query didn't feel out of place at all.

It is undeniable that the song is in no way inferior to Query's work, but Q God has been famous for a long time. If it is released, it will be fine in China, but once it is made into an English version and sent abroad, it will inevitably be labeled as an imitation.

This is a realistic and helpless problem. Who is responsible for their lack of fame?

"The arrangement style may be due to IS. I have been working with IS for a long time. And a secret in the industry is that Query is actually also from IS. Some of IS's songs were written by Query, although I have never met him in person."

Yu Yu did not feel the tension of the vest crisis at all.

"Really? Isn't IS focusing on pure music now?" As expected, their attention was diverted again when gossip was mentioned. Lu Hu widened his eyes in surprise, "I remember you said in the video before that since IS won the Oscar, the schedule has been full, and the difficulty of booking songs has increased sharply, so you rarely use their music."

"Yes, it's not that I'm delaying the update, but it's difficult for me to find a song that suits my taste right now." Yu Yu nodded, performing the role perfectly.

"Writing a song and composing a pure music symphony are two different concepts. Great, Q God is really great." Wang Yuexin immediately flattered him. They are all musicians, and of course they know that writing a three or four minute song and composing a symphony are two different things. Some people can write songs, but they may not be able to compose an exciting symphony, while some people can compose symphonies easily, but they can't write a decent song.

Query can do both!

Seeing that they had gone off track, Yu Yu did not pretend that nothing had happened and just let it go. This would be too deliberate. In order to make it more difficult for his brothers to decipher the secret, he smiled calmly and said, "As for my voice, maybe I should just participate in the Masked Singer. I guess no one will be able to guess who I am. They might even think that Q God is here, which can also hype up the show."

"Hahaha, Yu Yu, you understand how the program crew hypes themselves up." Wang Zhengliang laughed.

While several people were gossiping, the car finally arrived at its destination.
