Chapter 252 XY is Xiao Yao?
"Bayi, what are you going to do?" was exposed to plagiarism, Xiao Yao and Xiao Siqi were psychologically prepared, to clarify, of course Xiao Siqi also wanted to participate in it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this son has a big idea, and Xiao Siqi also called for the first time to ask Xiao Yao's plan.
"What else can I do? Xiao Yao said, "Now that it's like this on the Internet, all the media are looking for me to interview, and when do you have to talk about the past? â
"Okay," Xiao Siqi also agreed with Xiao Yao's decision, and then asked, "Is it open in Yanjing or Shencheng?" I can ask the people from the studio's public relations department to contact the venue in advance to prepare. â
"I won't go to Yanjing, and you won't use Shencheng, let's open in southern Xiang. Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, we are going to Xiangnan to participate in the recording of the next "Singer" program, and now there are only a few days before the next program recording." Let's go to Shonan in advance, just the day before the recording, the development conference, and just in time to participate in the next program recording. So that we don't have to run around with each other. â
"That's a good idea, so let's put it on the long yarn. Xiao Siqi agreed, "I will immediately ask the people from the public relations department to go to the long yarn to prepare first." â
"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "Then let's meet directly at Changsha." I still have some preparation work to do here. Don't forget what you need to prepare. â
"Don't worry," Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "I've been waiting for this day since more than ten years ago, and I will never forget it!"
While the public and the media were talking about Xiao Yao's silence about the plagiarism incident, Qi Jia Studio suddenly issued a statement on its official Weibo and website at the same time. It was announced that a press conference will be held this week in the press conference hall of the Kaiyue Hotel in Changsha City, Shonan Province, at which Xiao Yao himself will publicly respond to the plagiarism incident that is boiling on the Internet at this stage, and all journalists and media people are welcome to attend.
In addition to the statements on Weibo and the official website, many media outlets with good relations with Qijia Studio were also invited to participate in the press conference, inviting media reporters to participate in the press conference.
The day before the tenth episode of "The Singer" was recorded, at 9:40 a.m. Dozens of media reporters have gathered in the press conference hall of the Kaiyue Hotel in Changsa City, Shonan Province. Because of Xiao Yao's identity, the reporters who came here were not only media reporters from entertainment news, but also reporters from more than a dozen social news media.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the protagonist arrived on time, and the host of the press conference immediately announced the start of the press conference.
"Welcome all media friends to come, today's press conference is mainly to clarify the plagiarism incident about Xiao Yao reprinted on the Internet and some media during this time. Except for the host standing aside, only Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao, father and son, sat side by side on the rostrum. It was Xiao Siqi who spoke.
Seeing that the media reporters in the audience were all focused, Xiao Siqi solemnly continued to announce: "Here, our studio solemnly assures you that Xiao Yao must not plagiarize the music works of American piano composer and performer Mr. Horn Bernie as stated in some posts and comments on the Internet. Not only Mr. Horn Burnie, but all of Xiao Yao's signed works do not have any plagiarism. â
If you admit plagiarism, you can make a statement at most, and there is no need to have such a formal press conference to embarrass the father and son and the studio in public. Therefore, the media reporters present were mentally prepared for Xiao Siqi's remarks, and Xiao Siqi's statement was expected by the media. But in this remark, there is no explanation for the accusation of plagiarism, which is obviously not enough to satisfy and discourage the media reporters who attended the scene. Therefore, after Xiao Siqi's speech, most of the media reporters at the scene almost immediately raised their arms and signaled that they wanted to ask questions.
After the speech, Xiao Siqi looked at the densely raised arms in the audience, and did not immediately signal the host of the press conference to select reporters to come out to ask questions, but looked sideways at Xiao Yao who was sitting next to him. Xiao Yao adjusted the angle of the microphone in front of him, smiled and said to the media reporters at the scene: "I think the question everyone wants to ask now should be the same, and I also know what this question is, so I will give some explanations and explanations first." â
Hearing Xiao Yao say this, many media reporters put down their raised hands and paid attention to Xiao Yao beside Xiao Siqi, waiting for him to speak. Most of them believed that what Xiao Yao was going to say now was definitely the answer to the question they wanted to ask.
Xiao Yao raised a finger and said, "First of all, let me explain a little to everyone." The three pieces on my album of original piano pieces, "Memories of Childhood", "Daydreaming" and "Serenade", are exactly the same in terms of melody as the three pieces that Mr. Horn Bernie once performed at his recitals!"
"Wow~" As soon as Xiao Yao said this, the media reporters at the scene were immediately in an uproar.
Most media reporters thought that Xiao Yao would explain the differences of a few tunes to everyone from a professional perspective of music, but what they didn't expect was that more arms were immediately raised high.
"But!" Xiao Yao also ignored the raised arms, and went on to his own thoughts, "Those three pieces are not the original works of Mr. Horn Bernie! Although Mr. Horn Bernie is indeed a very well-known composer, as a pianist, not all of the music he plays at the recitals is written by himself, and these three pieces are not! Since these three pieces were not composed by Mr. Horn Bernie himself, then I can't talk about copying his tunes!"
"You said those three pieces weren't written by Horn Bernie, is there any evidence?" a young male reporter interjected, standing up. He really couldn't wait for the reporter's question session, and was selected by the host to stand up and ask questions.
After Xiao Yao's plagiarism incident was exposed, everyone also had some basic understanding of that Horn Burnie. Many musicians, both at home and abroad, are composers themselves. This Horne Bernie happens to be a composer himself, and his music is mainly piano music. Although not all of the pieces he performs at the recitals are 100% of his own compositions, with the exception of some classics by some of the most important masters of history, he composed most of the new pieces himself. Xiao Yao said that the three pieces were not composed by Horn Burney, and the reporters did not dare to believe it, nor did they dare to believe it all.
"This media friend, it is not time for the question session yet. The host of the press conference on the side said.
Since the reporters are so anxious to ask questions, let's go to the reporters' questions in advance. Xiao Yao first waved his hand to the host, then turned his head to look at the reporter who asked the question, and said, "Of course there is evidence! I have a video of Mr. Horn Burney's statement here." â
As he spoke, Xiao Yao picked up a remote control at hand and pressed a button on a projector installed at the top of the hall. A video appeared on a large white curtain on the left of Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao in the background.
"Hello everyone, I'm Horne Burnie!" In the video, a middle-aged white man in a black suit faces the camera and says in English, "I hereby declare to you that the three pieces of "Childhood Memories", "Daydreams" and "Serenade" are not my original music works, but the rights to perform commercial performances that I purchased from other composers. â
After the plagiarism incident was exposed, many people went to the pianist in the United States to have a certain degree of understanding, at least his appearance was familiar to the media reporters on the scene. The middle-aged white man in the video is a close-up of the upper body very close to the camera, and his face can be seen very clearly. Almost immediately, reporters recognized the middle-aged white man in the video as the same Horn Burnie.
Hearing that Horn Bernie said that he was not the original author of the three songs, but bought the commercial performance rights from others, many reporters at the scene showed surprised expressions. Many of the media reporters at the scene also reported that Xiao Yao plagiarized the works of American pianist Horne Burnie, but before they reported it, they didn't know that Horne Bernie was not the original author of these three pieces.
Of course, the journalists can't be blamed for not doing their homework. Because these three pieces have only appeared in Horn Bernie's concert, and have never appeared on Horn Bernie's music album, you can't see the author introduction in the album, and Horn Bernie did not specifically introduce the author of each piece played at the concert, so everyone takes it for granted that these three pieces are composed by Horn Bernie like other new songs.
However, it is not a musical work composed by Horn Bernie himself, and it does not mean that it is composed by Xiao Yao. The reporters at the scene were surprised, but did not say anything, because the video continued to play, and they were curious to know if Horn Bernie himself would say the original author of the three songs in the video.
Horn Bernie did say it, and the name he said was not Xiao Yao as everyone expected, but it also surprised the media reporters at the scene.
"Among them, "Memories of Childhood" and "Daydream" were purchased ten years ago, and "Serenade" was purchased three years ago, and the original author of these three pieces is the same person, I don't know his real name, only that he uses two letters to make his name. His name is XY!"
âXY?!â The reporters at the scene let out an exclamation, "Is that mysterious XY again? His works have all been sold to the United States? And it was ten years ago?"
But now is not the time to sigh XY awesome, today's protagonist is Xiao Yao, and the thing to figure out is whether Xiao Yao has plagiarism! Although everyone knows that the mysterious XY is Xiao Siqi's friend, most of them will not stand up and publicly accuse Xiao Yao of plagiarism, but plagiarism is plagiarism, as long as it is not written by you, you take your father's friend's things as your own, it will be spurned, and even relying on acquaintances, others will not trouble you, so unscrupulously taking other people's things as your own is even worse.
"I don't think you need me to translate, right?" Xiao Yao continued with a smile at the end of the video, "If any reporter friend doubts the authenticity of the video, I can send a copy of the video to everyone, and you can find a technician to do a technical appraisal of the picture and audio of the video, or find a lip expert to interpret the lip language." â
It's not that no one at the scene has flashed this kind of thought in their minds, but since Xiao Yao dares to take the initiative to say it, it is likely that there is no flaw in this point. And if these three pieces were created by XY, most of the on-site reporters would choose to believe it. But now the question is, even if what Horn Bernie said is true, you Xiao Yao is still a shameful copyist, what is there to be proud of?
"Even if Horne Bernie is not the original author of those three songs, it doesn't mean that you didn't plagiarize, right?" another reporter stood up and asked, "Is plagiarism from Horn Bernie's tunes, and plagiarism from XY's tunes isn't plagiarism? Even if XY is unwilling to stand up and accuse you face-to-face because of your father's relationship, it can't change the fact that you plagiarized other people's tunes, right?"
"Heh~" Xiao Yao sneered, looked at the reporter who stood up and asked a question, "If it's someone else's song, it's indeed plagiarism! What if it's your own song?
"Your own tune?" the reporter who asked the question also scoffed, and then reacted, his face changed color, and he said with an expression of disbelief, "What do you mean?"
"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded, "I'm XY!" Do you want me to admit that I plagiarized myself?"
"Wouldn't it?!" the reporters at the scene let out an exclamation, and they all looked at Xiao Yao in disbelief.
"How is that possible?" said the reporter who stood up to ask.
"Why is it impossible?" Xiao Yao spread his hands and said, "XY? X is the pinyin initial of Xiao Zi, and Y is the pinyin initial of Yao Zi, isn't this name enough to explain the problem?"
The media reporters at the scene listened to Xiao Yao's words, pondered slightly, and found that this was really the case.
"Could it be that XY is really Xiao Yao?" Many people suddenly had such an idea in their hearts, but they were quickly overturned by themselves, because it was too incredible.
"What if it's just a coincidence?" the reporter who stood up to ask the reporter again asked what the reporters in the audience thought, "XY's work first appeared, it was more than ten years ago, how old were you at that time, is this ridiculous?"
"I'll answer this question!" Xiao Siqi leaned into the microphone and took the reporter's question with a smile.
