During this time, Gu Cheng and Su Qi have been working overtime.

Finally, on the 15th, the production and copyright registration of the new album "Storm" were completed.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Cheng kept sending the new album for review.

If things go well.

Gu Cheng and they still have a few days to warm up the publicity.

Then on October 22nd, that is, next Friday, the new album will be available in Europe and the United States, hitting the B list in November!

What Gu Cheng didn't expect was the result.

They waited from the 15th to the morning of the 18th.

What I was waiting for was the result of the new album, which was beaten back by European and American censors!

What's worse is that there is no reason for it!

"If we don't indicate the reason, how can we change it?"

Liu Hongguang couldn't help but scold.

"European and American audits, is this a card for us to audit?"

Su Qi looked at Gu Cheng.

"Gu Cheng, we seem to have passed the last album in half a day, right?"

Gu Cheng nodded, "Hmm! ”

"Then why didn't this album pass the review?"

Su Qidai frowned, completely unable to figure it out.

"If the review doesn't pass smoothly, then the new album won't be released on the 22nd, and all our plans will be completely disrupted!"

"It's me who didn't think it through!"

Gu Cheng sighed helplessly.

"I thought I could pass it last time, and this time it should be fine!"

"I didn't take into account the scale of this album, and the fact that Europe and the United States may deliberately get reviewed!"

Europe and the United States have different music styles and genres, such as classical, pop, rock, country, metal, ......

Certain genres will be the focus of scrutiny, such as singing music.

Rap is one of the most popular music styles in Europe and the United States, and it is also one of the most criticized.

Because rap concerts involve explicit content – like X, D, and violence.

Gu Cheng's last test album "Golden Years" did not involve any sensitive content, so Europe and the United States did not have much of his review.

In this "Storm" electronic music, the lyrics of some songs are indeed a little larger, but they are nothing compared to European and American local rap.

Liu Hongguang only thinks that Europe and the United States are heart card audits.

"I have inquired with friends in the circle before, saying that the foreign censorship system is not completely standard, and even big-name singers have times when they are audited."

"Chinese singers are even more lucky, if the auditor is in a good mood, it will be easy to pass, if you are in a bad mood when you meet them, you can be stuck in doubting your life."

"I didn't expect that we would be unlucky today!"

Su Qi sighed: "The problem is that even if we know that it is a card review, we can't help it!" ”

"We have no background and no connections in Europe and the United States, so we can only check and modify ourselves!"

"Self-examination is too slow!"

Gu Cheng shook his head and groaned carefully.

If there is no labeling problem, it means that there is not even a direction to modify!

If they are asked to check themselves, if they don't find the real problem, there is a high probability that they will be sent back for trial again!

Let's not talk about how abrasive this process is.

The main thing is that it will disrupt Gu Cheng's overall plan for this album!

Gu Cheng thought about it.

I decided to consult Michael, who was more familiar with this area.

As soon as I heard that he was going to release a new album in Europe and the United States, and it had already entered the review stage.

Michael subconsciously suspected that he had misheard.

"Excuse me, brother! What did you just say, you're going to release an album overseas? ”

Gu Cheng reconsidered his sentence.

"I released an original electronic music album that was ready to be released in Europe and the United States, but it was returned by the review."

"I didn't say the reason over there, I thought you knew more about European and American record review, so I wanted to ask you for help."

“……”

Michael couldn't believe it.

How long has it been since Gu Cheng returned to China?

It hasn't been a month, has it?!

A brand new electronic album so soon?

"I take the liberty of asking, what is the quality of the songs on this album?"

"Every song on this album is the title song, and it's pretty much the same as the previous songs!"

"Brother, are you the devil?"

Michael couldn't help but curse.

"An album will be released in less than a month, and all of them are original!"

"Gu Cheng, how much did your last album sell now?"

"Domestic? A while ago, my agent said that it was over 20 million, and I didn't pay attention to the data abroad. ”

"Twenty million?!"

Michael gasped.

"Brother, you're too powerful!"

"Michael, on my album, some of the lyrics of some songs are a little bigger......"

Gu Cheng said the sensitive content.

"Your problems are actually not big, being stuck should be other problems!"

Michael didn't think there was anything wrong with what Gu Cheng said.

He thought about it.

"Brother, let's do it, I know some friends, I'll help you ask tomorrow......"

looked at Gu Cheng and hung up the phone.

Liu Hongguang immediately asked: "How is it?" ”

"Michael said that the review will be handled by him, provided that I make him a guest at the concert!"

Liu Hongguang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that the album matter is settled, let's talk about the song!"

He handed the collected evidence to two men.

"Cloud Culture was founded by musician Song Zijun at the beginning of the year, and he was a well-known master of sinicization in the circle before."

"He is best at getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket, that is, changing the lyrics and filling in the lyrics of foreign songs without buying the copyright, and then flaunting them as his own original songs."

"If the song is not popular, no one cares whether he infringes or not, and if the song is popular, it is a big deal to make up the copyright fee with a little music remuneration earned."

Liu Hongguang snorted coldly.

"One Day", which was released at the end of last year, became popular on the short video platform, and was later reported for plagiarizing the popular single "Every Day" in Europe and the United States."

"Song Zijun denied plagiarism and only admitted that the chorus was similar, and also posed as a victim, saying that he had suffered online violence, and took the initiative to let the music platform be taken off the shelves."

"The self-inspection of the system on Kuku Music's side did not constitute plagiarism, and later the song was re-shelved."

"In the end, Song Zijun was not affected by the plagiarism incident, and at the end of the year, he set up his own company, Cloud Culture, and made a lot of money."

Gu Chengdu had to admire Song Zijun's business acumen, and he was committed to creating a divine comedy that caters to market demand, which is indeed a good way to quickly attract traffic.

"Now is the era of streaming media, short videos are prevalent, and the threshold for musicians is too low!"

When Su Qi entered the circle, he wanted to become a musician or singer.

You must have enough talent or strength to have the opportunity to sign a contract with a record company and release an album before you can be considered a singer or musician.

In recent years, under the impact of the Internet, the digital age of the music industry has begun to come.

The music threshold is lowered to negligible.

Anyone can upload their own songs on music platforms or publish their works on short video platforms.

Due to the lax censorship of the platform, these people steal other people's music works to simply change and piece them together, and then distribute them in their own name.
