Singer Tan Weiwei apologized. The eloquent 100-word paragraph was actually summed up in three words:

Not convinced

On August 15th During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tan Weiwei, a singer who became famous all over the country for singing "Huayin Old Tune", once again brought you his own style of "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is"

"Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" is The most famous song in the classic version of "Journey to the West" is known to everyone, young and old, and everyone can sing it. Not to mention it is one of the top ten golden songs, it is also a classic among all the classics.

This time, Tan Weiwei did not perform this famous song step by step. Instead, he added chaotic multi-layered elements such as Western rock and Eastern suona, and expressed his love for this song by roaring at the top of his lungs.

Maybe it was because the ideas were too novel, or maybe the adaptation was shocking. In short, everyone had the same idea after hearing it: What the hell?

Not only did the people not buy it, but "Dare I Ask" Xu Jingqing, the original composer of "Where Is the Road?" was very dissatisfied with Tan Weiwei.

The old man has already posted two posts accusing Tan Weiwei of haphazardly adapting his works without his permission, which seriously infringed on his legal copyright. In addition, Teacher Xu also said meaningfully

82 The version of "Journey to the West" and its music have become classics based on the recognition of the people and spread through the vast media. They have been sung for more than 30 years. This is a good performance of the Chinese people's inheritance of traditional culture. Protecting the classics of the Chinese nation is the responsibility of each of us.

The implication is that Tan Weiwei is ruining traditional culture.

Subsequently, the person involved, Tan Weiwei, issued an apology, which became a hot search topic and sparked heated discussions.

First of all, to figure out who is right and who is wrong in this matter, it must be clear whether Tan Weiwei committed any infringement.

Before condemning it morally, it is necessary to analyze whether it can be sanctioned legally.

1. For covers of variety shows, should the singer apply for the copyright himself or the program team?

2. Is the adapted song adapted by a singer or by someone from the program team?

First, generally speaking, I mean generally, if you are invited to participate in a program recording, the copyright of the songs should be coordinated by the program team, because the entire party is directed by the program team, who sings what and how many times. Seconds, which time to appear, dancers, lighting and photography are all arranged by the program. If the singer brings his own song to sing, firstly, it may not match the theme of the party, and secondly, it is difficult to operate.

So, if today's matter is a song for the party, it has nothing to do with Tan Weiwei. CCTV's father asked her to sing, so she will sing.

Infringement of program covers has become commonplace. Tan Weiwei is not the first or the last. The generally accepted method is for TV stations, Internet platforms and other program producers to sign an agreement with the Music Association to directly obtain all rights of the association. The copyright of songs, when it comes to covers, is also negotiated by the program team.

Look at those song programs such as "I Am a Singer", "The Voice of China", etc., the songs in them are not contestants going to the original authors to ask for copyrights, they are all packaged by the program team, and I have not listened to them. Which player has ever knocked on the door to ask for the copyright?

The next day, Tan Weiwei himself said about the adaptation of the song: "I hope I will have the opportunity to perform your work again next time and really participate in the adaptation. I will think about it carefully, polish it repeatedly, and respect you and the original work." What is the author's intention to ensure the perfection of the performance?

Key point: next time, really participate in the adaptation to ensure the perfection of the performance.

Did you hear that Tan Weiwei said that he did not participate in the adaptation this time, so who did the adaptation?

Guo Junjiang is an emerging composer born in the 1990s. His profile is ominous for the time being, but he is definitely not Tan Weiwei, at least not completely.

Therefore, Tan Weiwei cannot bear the burden of adaptation.

In her apology, Tan Weiwei neither admitted that she was wrong nor compensated for the infringement. She said that she respects copyright and will definitely sing the song well.

Where does such confidence come from?

Of course she is right.

I understand Teacher Xu Jingqing’s fondness for his own works and his cherishment of traditional culture, so Teacher Xu is not wrong, if he insists on getting to the bottom of it to figure out what went wrong.

I suggest the teacher go to the party organizer to hold him accountable, if he dares.

Or go to the arranger Guo to ask for compensation, if he can find it.

As for the student involved, Tan Weiwei, the only unpleasant thing about her is that her singing is too unpleasant.

Can’t understand.
