The next day, Bai Shuo, accompanied by Chen Bing, Nie Dong, and Duan Lei, came to the conference room early to wait. Bai Shuo sat calmly, picking up the coffee in front of him from time to time and taking a sip slowly. Chen Bing sat quietly beside Bai Shuo, while Nie Dong's hand was beating on the table from time to time, making a rapid sound, and Duan Lei was pacing around behind Bai Shuo. At the appointed time, there was an exclamation outside, and then a person entered the conference room surrounded and protected by everyone. At this time, even Bai Shuo and the others were slightly surprised, and the person who came turned out to be Jay himself.

Jay was wearing a casual sweatshirt with a hat on his head and headphones in his ears, as if he was listening to something. After entering the conference room, he didn't speak, and sat down directly opposite Bai Shuo and the others. A man and a woman followed into the conference room, standing behind Jay, while the other two stood guard outside the conference room door and gently led the door through.

"Are you Gengzi?" Before Bai Shuo and the others could speak, a man in a flower suit on the other side asked first.

Bai Shuo got up, because the table was too far away to shake hands, he just waved his hand slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Bai Shuo, which is what you call Gengzi." ”

At this time, another woman in red clothes on the other side said: "Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Bai Shuo, your "Blue and White Porcelain" is more than 60% similar to the music Jay is composing, and the style of "Blue and White Porcelain" is very similar to Jay's previous creative style. So we have reason to suspect that you are suspected of plagiarism. After speaking, he threw a piece of music sheet in his hand on the table with a bang.

The man in the flower suit also added: "This song was originally a song about bronzes that Mr. Wenshan wanted to create when he was communicating with antique everyone, and he specially asked Jay to make a song for it." But just when Jay's music was almost finished, I found that you released the song "Blue and White Porcelain", and not only the melody similarity between the two is very high, but even the blue and white porcelain that you wrote has a high correlation with bronze. I don't know what Mr. Bai Shuo has to explain?"

At this time, Jay seemed to be still listening to the headphones, not paying attention to the situation in the conference room, and the rest of the people looked at Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo didn't speak, picked up the music sheet that the woman threw on the table and looked at it over and over again. At this time, he also couldn't understand why the song in their mouths was not written about blue and white porcelain, but for bronze. In fact, it is still very easy to refute the other party, first of all, judging from this score, it seems that it has not been completed, and there are still traces of modification in many places in the middle. It can be said that this is still a half-finished product at all. The second and most important thing is that the other party has not applied for the copyright of the song at all, so there is no infringement at all. At the same time, Bai Shuo also noticed that the woman was talking about plagiarism, not infringement. If it is plagiarism, then Bai Shuo has never been to Treasure Island, and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to contact Jay, so as long as he insists on denying the other party's accusations, the other party has no way at all. Bai Shuo also believes that with Jay's prestige, it is impossible to fight such an uncertain battle with a junior, and if something goes wrong, it will be a lot of loss to his reputation.

"Mr. Bai, don't you have anything to say?" the woman continued.

Bai Shuo looked at the other party and said lightly: "Yes, I copied it." However, it has nothing to do with Chen Bing, and it has nothing to do with Haidong Records. Although he was sure of victory, Bai Shuo knew in his heart that this song could not be written by himself, and from all indications, many things in his dream were still happening in reality, and if this song hadn't been taken out by himself so early, Jay would have completed it quickly. Therefore, Bai Shuo is also willing to admit that he plagiarized and takes all the responsibility on himself, anyway, he is not mixed in the entertainment industry, and he is not afraid of any impact. If he needs to lose money, he is not afraid that he will not be able to pay compensation now.

But as soon as this remark came out, not only Chen Bing's side, but even Jay's side was greatly surprised. No one expected that Bai Shuo would admit to plagiarism in the first round.

"Bai Shuo, you are stupid, why admit it, don't take care of us, we are not afraid of them. Nie Dong said eagerly.

Duan Lei also said angrily: "Impossible, this song can't be plagiarized." ”

Chen Bing didn't speak, just grabbed Bai Shuo's arm and looked at him worriedly.

"Hehe, he himself admitted it, you still talk so much nonsense. The woman in red said with a sneer.

"I think we should talk about the follow-up disposition." The man in the flower suit continued.

Bai Shuo calmed Chen Bing a little and said to them, "Okay, but this matter is only between me and you. It has nothing to do with Haidong Records, any compensation you want, I will bear it. ”

Just when the conference room was bustling, a voice once again brought everyone back to quiet.

"No, the song is not plagiarized. ”

Everyone saw that Jay had already taken off his headphones and looked at Bai Shuo to say what he had just said.

The woman in red wanted to say something, but Jay waved her hand to stop her, and then continued: "Although the song Blue and White Porcelain is somewhat similar to the tune I am writing, it should be said that it is better than my song. In fact, there are many places I am still thinking about in the creation of this piece, and I have not finished it finally. But the blue and white porcelain is a good way to highlight the feeling I want. And one thing, the song of blue and white porcelain is really similar to my style, I want to know how you did it? ”

Bai Shuo was also a little surprised at this time, but he didn't expect Jay to stand up and say that he didn't plagiarize, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Bai Shuo didn't speak, Jay said again: "I just listened to your other creations, all of them are good songs, a person with such talent, I believe that he can write songs like blue and white porcelain." You don't have to worry about what I'm going to do to you or the label. Actually, I was just curious to see what kind of creator you are, and you can write the feeling I've always wanted so thoroughly. However, after a few approaches, you seem to have been avoiding it, so this is why you have taken this approach. ”

Hearing this, Nie Dong quickly stood up and explained the reason why he had not responded before, although the other party may not fully believe it, but finally has a reasonable reason.

After listening to Nie Dong's explanation, Jay continued to ask: "Mr. Bai Shuo, I have listened to a few songs written by you, although they have not been officially released yet, I also have my own way to get these things. Each of these songs is very good, but their music style is very different, take blue and white porcelain as an example, familiar friends can easily think of my style when they listen carefully. Can you tell me how you navigated so many styles?"

Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly, it seemed that it was not okay not to respond, so he said: "I'm actually just an amateur music lover, I've been listening to other people's songs since I was a child, and I don't have my own specific style at all. When I usually create, I basically come casually and sing wherever I think. As for why blue and white porcelain is so close to your style, it's because I've always liked your songs, and this song was originally based on your style. ”

Jay thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Mr. Bai is a musical genius, and music should not have any limitations, but I am too limited by my own style. ”

After thinking about it again, Jay continued, "I don't know if Mr. Bai has any other works with a similar style to mine? ”

Bai Shuo smiled bitterly, things have come to this point, and he can only go with this trend. Since the other party is not here to fight, then he will naturally not stubbornly want to cause a commotion. After searching in his mind, Bai Shuo suddenly said: "Actually, when I conceived the song blue and white porcelain, I also thought of some other elements, so I will make a song with a similar style on the basis of blue and white porcelain." ”

After speaking, Bai Shuo asked Duan Lei to get himself a guitar and played the pure musical accompaniment of blue and white porcelain. Chen Bing took out the voice recorder he carried with him again and hurriedly recorded it. Then, with the accompaniment of blue and white porcelain, Bai Shuo sang a song while using the guitar to the beat:

At the end of the world is the wind and sand

The story of Hongchen is called care

The sealing knife is hidden under the east fence of ordinary people's homes

Xianyun wild crane ancient temple

Fast horses fight in the rivers and lakes

It's nothing more than fame and fortune that can't be let go

How can a person who has the country in his heart be happy and chic

I just want to share it with you

The sword is out of the sheath, and there is a grudge who laughs

I just want to embrace you in my arms today

The Red Dust Inn is like a knife

Showers fall and fate knocks

Ren Wulin, who leads the way, I only bend my waist for you

Cross the deserted village and wild bridge to find the ancient road outside the world

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the catkins flutter in the hands of the son

Under the eaves, the window lattices reflect the branches obliquely

Sitting across the floor with you for tea

I will write you down with a fine stroke

Lifting the pen is not elegant

Under the lamp, sigh red face near sunset

When I say fate, it's like going to Zen without speaking

Your tears are like pear blossoms sprinkled all over the world on the paper

Love and hate are like freehand landscape paintings

The sword is out of the sheath, and there is a grudge who laughs

I just want to embrace you in my arms today

The Red Dust Inn is like a knife

Showers fall and fate knocks

Ren Wulin, who leads the way, I only bend my waist for you

Cross the deserted village and wild bridge to find the ancient road outside the world

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the catkins flutter in the hands of the son

Ren Wulin, who leads the way, I only bend my waist for you

How delicate you look back, I laugh with tears in my eyes

Wine beckons the flag in the wind

The sword is out of the sheath, and there is a grudge

......

In fact, this "Red Dust Inn" is also a song a little later in Jay's memory, and as for singing this song with the accompaniment of blue and white porcelain, it is just some entertainment and funny in later generations. Bai Shuo was also bitter in his heart at this time, Jay is really sorry for robbing you of another song. After singing the song, the audience was shocked. The man in the suit said in surprise, this song is really Jay's style, I can imagine what it feels like for Jay to sing this song.

At this time, Jay laughed and walked towards Bai Shuo with his hands clapped. "You're such a musical geek. Nice to meet you. With that, he stretched out his right hand to Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo also quickly stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

The suspicion was relieved, Bai Shuo invited Jay and his party to dinner, but Jay didn't expect Jay to ask after hearing about Bai Shuo's Bashu people, "Do you eat hot pot?"

Bai Shuo asked funny, "Does Jay also like hot pot?"

Jay smiled and said, "I like it, because I can master it myself, and I can cook it for as long as I want." ”

During the dinner, Nie Dong once again mentioned Bai Shuo's judgment on the future development of the music industry, and added his own understanding and put forward many ideas. Jay and Bai Shuo were very impressed.

When Bai Shuo saw Jay, he once again inspired a lot of ideas and suggested to Nie Dong: "The record company should diversify its development in the future and incorporate elements of various types and regions. The music scene on Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island has developed over the years and has a strong heritage, with many experienced senior producers and high-quality artists. On the other hand, now that the Olympic Games in the imperial capital are imminent, all parties are looking north to China, and the land of China will definitely usher in a period of rapid development in the future, which will also have great opportunities and deep attraction for various industries in Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island, including music and art. Therefore, Haidong Company can expand a number of businesses, no longer limited to the development of pure music records, but change into a diversified company engaged in the cultural industry. Second, it can recruit some senior producers and artists in the literary and artistic circles of Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island who are interested in developing in the mainland, so that the company's cultural heritage can be rapidly integrated and improved. Let Haidong Records take it to the next level. ”

After listening to Bai Shuo's idea, Jay expressed his agreement and offered to help introduce some powerful and experienced professionals. Nie Dong was very excited to hear it, but he objected to what Bai Shuo said, that is, it was not to let Haidong Records go to the next level. Because he has decided to reorganize Haidong Records again, in order to adapt to the new development needs, the company also needs to change its name.

After everyone agreed, Nie Dong invited Bai Shuo and Jay to join the company on the spot, Jay's main focus was still on the treasure island, but he said that he could invest in the new company and become a shareholder, and he would do his best to help the company in the future. Nie Dong immediately said that on the basis of Haidong Records, he would invest an additional 20 million shares, so that the company's assets were about 50 million, Chen Bing joined the company as an artist, accounting for 20% of the company's shares, Bai Shuo and Jay joined the company as consultants, each accounting for 15% of the company's shares, and Duan Lei as the backbone of the company, Nie Dong also said that he would give Duan Lei 5% of the shares, so that Nie Dong himself only accounted for 45% of the company's shares.

Jay first objected, he was very optimistic about the development of the mainland market, and he was more optimistic about Haidong Records' Chen Bing, Bai Shuo, Nie Dong and others, and felt that this company would be a company with great development potential. said that he was willing to invest 10 million, or only 15% of the company's shares, and Bai Shuo also expressed his willingness to invest 10 million. Nie Dong saw that the two of them were very serious, and felt that Bai Shuo had made a great contribution to the company in the early stage, but he did not receive any remuneration, and at the same time of injecting 10 million yuan, he decided to give Bai Shuo an additional 10% of the shares, but Bai Shuo couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree. After several discussions, the framework for a new company took shape. Nie Dong, the largest shareholder of the company, is responsible for the daily operation of the company with 35% of the shares, and the remaining shareholders account for 25% of the shares: Bai Shuo 25%, Chen Bing 20%, Jay 15%, Duan Lei 5%.

At this time, Duan Lei said that the new company should not be called a record company, and proposed that it should be called Haidong Cultural Development Co., Ltd. Nie Dong disagreed, thinking that he used to be called "Haidong" just because he wanted to entertain himself, but now that the new company has a new mission, it should have a better name. Everyone discussed, Nie Dong finally asked Bai Shuo to name the company, and Chen Bing and others also agreed. Bai Shuo couldn't shirk it, thought about it seriously and said: "The company's mission is to promote national culture and carry forward Chinese music and art. Now we are catching up with a very good era, coinciding with the prosperous era, we vow to play a new movement for China. Why don't you call the company 'Shengshi Huazhang'?"

Everyone unanimously agreed. Since then, an institution that will lead the Chinese literary and artistic circles in the future and create a new era of Chinese culture - "Shengshi Huazhang Cultural Development Co., Ltd." was officially established.
