Plagiarism in pop music.
Some creators said: "Everything in the world is copied, nothing special." Our reporter Yi Zhina, a singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan, has always liked to imitate Japan and South Korea, whether it is makeup modeling, genre or even propaganda techniques. This is an indisputable fact, but the information age makes this imitation obvious. Interestingly, however, the stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan either denied it or declined to comment. This can be seen from the following cases: Defendant: Stephanie (song "Unfinished") copied the new song "Unfinished" released by Japanese female singer Stephanie in early 2003, and was accused of copying the old work "Cape" by Japanese female singer Aiko. However, the person in charge of Warner Records clearly told the world: "The Unfinished was indeed written by musicians such as Bao and Bao, and the lyrics were also written by themselves. These people who are absolutely blamed: Jay Chou (the cover of Ye Huimei) plagiarized: The Korean film Huaqiang and Honglian appeared on the cover of the newly released new album Ye Huimei, and Jay Chou wore a classical suit with European style. However, the cover of this painstaking new disc is accused of copying the poster of the Korean film Huaqiang and Honglian-not only the concept and background are very similar, but also "coincidentally" embarked on the retro nostalgic route. Some even dug up old scores, saying that Jay Chou's old disc "Nunchaku" also copied the Korean film "Volcano High". Defendant: Hacken Lee (song "Cherry Blossom") Plagiarist: The Thai song "Cherry Blossom", a new song released by Hacken Lee in 2000, was accused of copying a Thai song. It was reported that the original creator intended to take legal action. Hacken Lee said that only the chorus is somewhat similar, but the main song is completely different. Hacken Lee is very calm about this matter, saying that similar incidents have happened many times in Hongkong. There is no fake. " Defendant: Sammi Cheng (theme song of Lonely Men and Widows) plagiarized the theme song of the movie Lonely Men and Widows by American veteran band Sammi Cheng, which was also heard by music critics to be very similar to SimonandGarfunkel's TheBoxer. Du Qifeng, the film director, was responsible for the plagiarism. He said, "I asked Cacine Wong to compose music, so that the song Emotion Online felt very similar to the song TheBoxer. Sammi Cheng himself didn't mind being accused of plagiarism, while Du Qifeng made it clear: "Everything in the world is plagiarism, nothing special. If I like it, I decide to do it. "He said that he had studied that songs should be copied only if eight small beats are similar. Although he copied TheBoxer on purpose, he won't be copied as long as he didn't copy enough eight bars. Accused: Karen Mok (tour poster) Plagiarist: As soon as the semi-nude poster of Japanese singer Karen Mok appeared, it was pointed out that it was similar to the semi-nude photo of Japanese singer Hitomi's "Love Life" album! After investigation, it was found that the two photos were taken in September of the same year and had to be interpreted as "coincidence". In fact, the semi-nude poster of Karen Mok's "Good Karen Mok Tour Concert" wearing jeans and long hair and waist is indeed 90% similar to the new Japanese version of hitomi disc. Defendant: F4 (album Meteor Shower) plagiarized by: Korean song "Love You Remember You" JYP, the company of Korean popular combination god, intends to take Sony Records Company in Taiwan Province Province to court after hearing F4' s debut album "Meteor Shower". In the album Meteor Shower, the melody and accompaniment of "God loves you and remembers you" in "You don't love me" sung by VanNess Wu are "copied intact". In response, a Sony spokesman in South Korea who is in charge of the "Meteor Shower" album responded that VanNess Wu's "Who Do You Love? Actually, it was a cover of the first Noel by American musician Curtis McKonly. Taiwan Province also made it clear that when choosing a song for F4' s debut album "Meteor Shower", it did listen to "Love You Remember You" by the Korean God Corps, appreciated the melody of this song very much, and then wanted to own this music. Defendant: Nicholas Tse (cover of Jade Butterfly) Plagiarist: Ayumi Hamasaki Hong Kong media disclosed that the cover design of Nicholas Tse's new album Jade Butterfly was suspected of copying Japanese diva Ayumi Hamasaki, but Nicholas Tse only admitted that it was a coincidence. He said that the design of the new disc was entirely arranged by the company: "I really don't know, I didn't pay attention to other people's envelopes." However, this happens from time to time. South Korean singer Lee Jung Hyun recently criticized Sammi Cheng's behavior after Hong Kong songs, pointing out that Sammi Cheng's two popular songs "Exclusive Audition" and "Shake" not only cover her works, but also copy her MTV in clothing, eyes and movements. Left: Li Lee Jung Hyun Zheng Xuan said, "She copied all my records. I wonder why she only knows how to copy people. She is very beautiful, and I think she should have her own style. If she follows her own style, she will be more popular. Li Zhongxian even criticized Sammi Cheng for copying her MTV in songs, costumes, eyes and actions. She said, "At first, I felt very happy to hear her sing my songs. Later, I went to Chinese mainland to perform and saw her MTV on TV. I found that not only songs, but also her clothes, eyes and movements are the same as my MTV. She actually copied five of my songs, which was a bit excessive. I think it's a pity for her. "Lee Jung Hyun's song was covered by Sammi Cheng, which made her open three markets, but Lee Jung Hyun didn't seem to appreciate it. She said, "I have always been a frank person, and I am also known for my frankness in Korea. Am I wrong? "Lee Jung Hyun said she wouldn't cooperate with Sammi Cheng, not to mention her name.
