Chapter 24 I can write and sing on the spot
Chen Fan, at the center of the vortex, was awakened by Yun Duo's phone call.
May those who disturb my peaceful sleep be struck by lightning!
"Hey Fan Ge! How can you still be sleeping! Someone online accused you of plagiarizing a song by a guest on 'Master Class'! Weibo crashed this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan instantly sobered up.
"What the hell?"
Chen Fan thought he had misheard.
Yun Duo said urgently into the phone, "You'd better come to the Zhonghai Building to find me! Be careful not to get followed!"
After saying that, Yun Duo quickly hung up the phone.
Chen Fan took out his phone to check Weibo, and that's when he realized something was wrong.
It's obvious that someone is trying to stir up trouble.
The sharp decline in public opinion domestically is not the most troublesome issue; the real trouble lies abroad.
Those overseas sycophants, upon hearing that a previously lauded genius musician was involved in plagiarism, began to massively criticize him, regardless of whether the allegations were verified.
"I knew it! How could such high-quality music be written by a Chinese person!"
"Seriously! Putting aside the long-term implications, just comparing their musical styles in recent years shows the difference!"
"Waiting for the extraordinary mortal to be exposed!"
"It's common knowledge that if it weren't for our elites investing in China, they would still be living in the era of manual labor! Let alone a high-pressure art like music!"
"So, this is a case of 'learning becomes an addiction,' where someone inadvertently starts passing off someone else's score as their own?"
Overseas opinions have a huge impact on domestic public opinion, and more and more people are beginning to predict the decline of China's music scene.
Even worse, some people vented their anger on Chen Fan, leaving malicious comments on his Weibo when they couldn't find him.
Some people felt unsatisfied and kept trying to uncover his true identity.
[Congratulations, host, for triggering the advanced mission: Promote Chinese traditional music. Please perform the song "Blue and White Porcelain" and receive 200 million emotion points!]
Reward for successful mission: Unlock the next mission!
Penalty for mission failure: System downgrade!
"Playing this big!" Chen Fan couldn't help but complain after seeing the task panel.
Very well, there's no reward for succeeding in the task, but there is a penalty for failing!
This is very systematic.
My phone kept vibrating. When I opened it, the class group chat was in an uproar:
Class monitor: @Everyone, look at the trending topics!
Wu Ning: Huh? Chen Fan wouldn't actually plagiarize someone else, would he?
Wang Fang: I don't know! But don't you guys find it strange that he's suddenly become such a prolific writer?
Li Meng: I have a friend who interned at CCTV. She said that the handsome guy that day was also from our Zhonghai. He was a genius that the program team had gone to great lengths to find, but Chen Fan just copied him.
Hu Chuang: Chen Fan has never been generous, what did I tell you? This time he's really embarrassed himself internationally!
Class monitor: Our class first had Tian Mingze who was expelled, and then Chen Fan who plagiarized. Our reputation is ruined!
Wu Ning: Hey, squad leader, hurry up and tag them! Watch your mouths! Don't let anything slip! If they're done for, we still have to survive!
Class monitor: @Everyone, please be careful with your words and actions. We will definitely not say anything more before this matter is settled!
Although the remaining people didn't say anything, their "watching the show" expressions were enough to tell the story.
Chen Fan found it boring after reading it.
We shouldn't have too much hope for these people.
After breakfast, Chen Fan took a bus to Zhonghai Building to meet Yun Duo.
To my surprise, all my teammates who advanced this time were still there!
Chen Fan was completely bewildered.
What are you doing here?
"You've come to the wrong place to laugh!"
Chen Fan carried the bottled water in, completely unhurried.
Dushe, in a fit of anger, snatched his bottled water and began to lecture him, pointing his finger at his nose:
"You still have the nerve to joke around! Haven't you seen what's going on online? Something's not right. My brother says someone hired an online troll army to sabotage you!"
Although Huo Cheng and Ji Bai didn't speak, they stared at Chen Fan with concern.
Seeing that Chen Fan laughed after hearing Du She's words, the three of them looked up at the sky in silence.
Did Chen Fan know that he was about to be finished?
Yun Duo was extremely anxious, "Brother Fan!!!"
The shrill voice tormented Chen Fan's eardrums, almost immediately causing him to surrender.
Thank you all for your concern!
As Chen Fan spoke, the others became anxious again: What time is it to talk such nonsense? Shouldn't we be discussing how to fight back?
The next moment, Chen Fan slowly removed his mask, revealing the face of what was supposedly the 'plagiarized' person!
The entire music classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Chen Fan is a very cautious person, or rather, he doesn't want to expose himself too early before the show has a result, so he never shows his face in public.
Even during live streams, they only ever filmed his neck, just enough to let viewers know he was singing live.
In addition, Tian Mingze had previously exposed his unflattering photos, so the idea that "an extraordinary ordinary person = an ugly man" is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
But no one expected that beneath the mask was such a handsome face that was almost aggressive.
"Holy crap! Am I hallucinating?" Du She pinched Huo Cheng in a daze.
They were met with ruthless suppression and retaliation from Huocheng.
"No, you're that... mystery guest?"
"Holy crap! You even have international connections like Andy!"
"That's such a bad friend of yours!"
"Brother Fan, our friendship is over!"
The group was making a lot of noise, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.
"So, Brother Fan, what are you planning to do? Why don't you just show your face?"
"Has the production team contacted you?"
Yun Duo and Huo Cheng were clear-headed, and once they relaxed, they asked the key questions.
Chen Fan laughed and said, "Showing your face isn't difficult at all, is it? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
After calming the group down, Chen Fan contacted the production team.
"Director, this plagiarism incident has been making headlines lately. Can I request to write a song and perform it on the spot?"
"What?"
The director was so excited that he jumped up from his chair.
"I requested to be inside the glass enclosure so I could write and produce the accompaniment live."
"Will this dispel the accusations of 'plagiarism' online?"
"able!"
The director made the decision without considering the consequences.
He was woken up last night by a barrage of calls from his superiors at the station.
My first reaction upon seeing the trending topic was to ignore it.
Netizens may not know Chen Fan's strength, but they also may not know this kid's capabilities.
But things took an unexpected turn.
Not only the so-called evidence online, but even their headquarters received thirty or forty letters of complaint.
The station director slammed the complaint letter in front of him and demanded, "How do you plan to handle this?!"
The station director was also aware that Chen Fan was now a pillar of their program.
But he knew even better that a pillar of the industry with a tarnished reputation would eventually collapse.
This puts pressure on the director to come up with a solution.
Just as the director was about to contact Chen Fan, the guy took the initiative and proposed a win-win solution.
"Young man, you've got guts! I, Old Liu, have high hopes for you!"
After hanging up the phone, the director's assistant suddenly snapped back to reality: "He...he's gone mad! Writing a song on the spot?"
"If you can't even come up with something coherent, you'll be ruining our show's reputation, director!"
Upon hearing this, the director regretted agreeing too quickly.
But since things had come to this point, he had no better solution.
"Sigh, why don't you come up with a better idea?"
The assistant was so choked up that he couldn't utter a single word.
What could he do?
