After listening to this [excellent] level "Happy Birthday" again, Niuniu's cheerful children's voice is still very infectious.

When people listen to it, the corners of their mouths can't help but rise slightly, as if they are really celebrating their birthdays and are being blessed.

However, this made Xu Yan have a faint bad premonition in his heart.

The song ...... Could it really be popular?

"No! no...... Just this is the lyrics of the song! I don't believe it can be popular......

After copying the recording file, Xu Yan deleted all traces, and also told Niuniu not to tell her parents about today's events, if she did, she would not give her egg fried rice in the future.

Leaving the Yuhuayuan Villa Community, Xu Yan casually found a hotel and settled down first.

He originally planned to register an account on some music platforms to release the song "Happy Birthday".

However, it turned out that the system has the function of publishing works, and it happens to have the "anonymous publishing" function that he likes.

So......

Xu Yan uploaded the music file directly to the system and clicked "Anonymous Release".

asked Xu Yan to choose a music release platform, and Xu Yan directly chose the most commonly used Qiuqiu music platform.

The system showed that the release was successful, and gave Xu Yan a background management account for the anonymous release of the Qiuqiu Music Platform.

A few minutes later, in the music library of the Qiuqiu Music Platform, there was a new song that had just been put into the library.

Happy Birthday

Singer: Three hearts

Word: Anonymous

Qu: Anonymous

......

The lyrics and songs are anonymous, but the singer is not Xu Yan himself, if he is anonymous, it will be confused with the songwriter, and the system will automatically turn the former singer into "Anonymous 1", and the later lyrics and songs will become "Anonymous 2".

Therefore, Xu Yan took it upon himself to give Niuniu a stage name "Three Hearts", which was taken from the three hearts under her real name Tang Rui's "Rui".

After uploading, Xu Yan didn't care too much, and he didn't do any publicity and promotion.

......

And on Earth, the song "Happy Birthday" was originally an English song.

The full name is "Happy-Birthday-to-You" (Happy-Birthday-to-You), or "Birthday Song" for short, and it is a popular song used around the world to celebrate birthdays.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is one of the three most popular songs in the English language, the other two being "Friendship Lasts Forever" and "He's a Happy Guy".

The song has been translated into many Chinese, although in some countries where English is not the primary language, the song's English lyrics are often sung.

But what many people don't know is that the melody of "Happy Birthday to You" was written by two American Hill sisters in 1893 while teaching at a school in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

The lyrics of the song were originally intended for classroom greetings and was titled "Good-Morning-to-All."

The lyrics of "Happy Birthday to You" were copyrighted by Summy in 1935 and will expire in 2030.

This is the first lyric to be copyrighted. In 1990, Summy was acquired by Warner Records for $15 million, of which "Happy Birthday to You" was valued at $5 million.

Many people don't know that even today, Warner can still receive more than $2 million a year in royalties for the song "Happy Birthday to You".

It is not an exaggeration to say that this song is the most widely sung and the most profitable and long-lasting song on the planet.

It's just that......

For Xu Yan in the parallel world, he didn't believe that such a "bad song" that kept repeating one sentence could be popular.

Although the influence of Western ideas in this world is more serious, China has copied many Western systems and methods in various fields, and has done a very good job in protecting the copyright of various works.

However, in this way, the protection of originality is very sufficient, but because there is no barbaric growth of piracy, it has led to the promotion and popularity of literary and artistic works including songs, film and television, variety shows, literature, etc., which has caused natural obstacles.

After all, without piracy, the cost of obtaining these literary and artistic works would be much higher for ordinary people.

In the late 90s to the end of the 90s, almost every household had VCDs or DVDs, and pirated CDs were stacked one by one.

It is precisely because of the various songs and movie pirated CDs over the past 20 years that more than one billion Chinese have quickly integrated into modern songs and film and television culture, and rapidly enriched their cultural and entertainment life.

In the same way, this has also become a source of inspiration and creative motivation for many new generations of musicians, online writers, directors, cartoonists, etc.

So......

Piracy is actually a deformed product of social development that the original creator loves and hates, on the one hand, it frantically squeezes the living space of genuine works with inferior production and low cost.

But on the other hand, it uses this kind of fast and low-cost sales to spread the influence of entertainment works like lightning.

The reason why many celebrities can stand out and become popular is that many times they are blessed by mistake for pirated CDs.

And in this parallel world, the situation is a little different from that on Earth.

It has implemented laws and regulations on copyright protection that are more lenient than those in the West, and has maintained a strict crackdown on piracy and other acts all year round.

Whether it is a song, film or a novel, more than 90% of the audience wants to obtain it, they need to rely on buying genuine resources, or waiting for TV stations and radio stations to broadcast for free.

The result is obvious.

Without the spread of piracy, relying only on genuine channels, the more famous singers and movie stars can get, the more channel resources they can get, and it is becoming more and more difficult for newcomers or niche works to get ahead.

Everyone will not risk using precious channel resources to test the waters of new styles of songs and films, and the whole circle is in a state of being conservative and constantly eating the old book.

Film and television dramas go back and forth in those styles, and the songs are almost all in the same key.

Even the new books in Xinzhong Bookstore every year, although they are the works of different writers, most of them have the same style and story, as if they were written by the same person.

This is also the real reason why Xu Yan hates the entertainment industry and doesn't want to be a big star.

Yes, they have a lot of resources.

It is completely easy to follow the plan of his father Xu Chongshan, and he will be called a first-line male star within three years, and he will be able to hit the throne of the king within five years.

However, this is not the life Xu Yan wants, he has been accustomed to seeing the faces and behaviors of stars in the entertainment industry since he was a child, and he desperately wants to break free from this quagmire.

"Sure enough, it's cool, it's been two days since the song "Happy Birthday" was released, but there are only dozens of hits and playbacks. More than a dozen of them are ...... that I click on every day."

On the third day after uploading "Happy Birthday" to Qiuqiu Music, Xu Yan looked at the 67 hits and 35 playbacks on it, and his heart blossomed.

The system's [debut task] is to release the song within a limited time of three days, and after Xu Yan releases it, there will be a countdown to the completion of the popularity data and task.
