Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 199: The Reverse of Tian Gang
As Liao Jun explained, Xia Shen finally understood what had happened.

In other words, there is a top-ranking music-related live streamer on Douyin and Kuaishou named Wangzai Erqiao.

This streamer's account is quite successful. During the period of the internet boom, he became popular with some catchy covers, and now he is a big internet celebrity with about 30 million followers.

It's fair to say that this level of influencer reach is pretty much the limit.

She's also very savvy; with a decent voice, she's good at marketing, using a faceless approach to promote her image.

It can be said that it successfully aroused the curiosity of a large number of fans, and everyone had a lot of imagination about this atmospheric singer who always appeared in public with her face covered.

In addition, the capital and company behind her are indeed quite powerful, and she has collaborated with many celebrities, inviting many real stars to appear in her live broadcasts and works.

I've heard that she really does have plans to enter the entertainment industry.

Although Xia Shen didn't know much about Wangzai Erqiao, as a complete Douyin and Kuaishou local, he felt at home when he entered Douyin and Kuaishou, so he had naturally seen it occasionally.

I do have some impression of that.

She actually has a copyright dispute with me?
Xia Shen was a little confused.

After all, there are many ways to obtain authorization now, right? Most major platforms have opened online authorization channels. If you want to use the authorization for a song, you can just apply directly and it will be approved very quickly.

For general commercial use, you don't even need to pay a large copyright fee; you only need to share the revenue.

It's incredibly convenient; you don't even need to connect with the musicians themselves, since they've already signed an agreement with the platform when they upload their work.

Back then, Tian Min adapted "Give Me a Song's Time" into a DJ version and released a video. Wasn't that the case?

Xia Shen was completely bewildered when he received the relevant copyright revenue afterward.

Moreover, putting aside the convenience, a big internet celebrity like Wangzai Erqiao with tens of millions of fans must be rich. Her income from such a large fan base is more impressive than that of ordinary celebrities.

What grounds did she have to infringe on her rights?
But to be honest, Xia Shen didn't actually intend to pursue anything at first.

After all, so many people use his songs online, and not everyone has permission. There are also many small bloggers, and even some ordinary people who occasionally film a short video on Douyin or Kuaishou when they are bored, who will cover his songs.

Let's put it this way: given Xia Shen's current situation on Douyin and Kuaishou, if you're working on Douyin and Kuaishou, do you want to avoid him?
That is absolutely impossible.

It's unrealistic to investigate all of these cases.

Another point is that this would make Deep Space seem stingy, and make oneself seem stingy as well.

Xia Shen could only think that the other party was probably just careless for a moment.

"We can send a letter to remind you first," Xia Shen said. "If there's no response or explanation, then we can discuss it further."

After that, Xia Shen forgot about the matter and left the entire process to the company.

He then began preparing for the upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony.

But he didn't realize that some things he considered unimportant might be matters of life and death for others.

In Shanghai, at Benhu Interactive Entertainment, the door to a live streaming room was hurriedly knocked open.

Qiao Manning, also known as the famous online streamer and internet celebrity Wangzai Xiao Qiao, has just finished her live stream.

She had just taken off her headgear, revealing an ordinary face, and before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the door to the live stream was hurriedly knocked open.

Then a middle-aged woman rushed in, her face full of anxiety. "Manning, something terrible has happened!"

The middle-aged woman quickly replied.

"What's wrong, Mom? Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't this a good thing? The live stream data and viewership are great too." Qiao Manning was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on. Her tone even sounded a little resentful.

Just as she said, her career is now thriving, and she has finally gotten rid of that MCN that only leeched off her and did nothing else.

Yes, that's right. In her eyes, her current popularity is entirely due to her own efforts, specifically her beautiful singing voice.

MCNs wanting a share of her income is simply unforgivable; she can't tolerate it no matter what.

So she went out and started her own company with her mother, using the money she had earned over the years.

We've managed to get things up and running, and now everything is thriving.

Even her long-held dream is about to come true.

My dream is to officially enter the entertainment industry and become a real star, instead of just remaining an internet celebrity!
She has been working hard for this dream for many years.

However, the entertainment industry is really not easy for people like them who come from ordinary and humble backgrounds. The threshold is indeed there. Even with her good looks and voice, she has repeatedly run into obstacles.

In other words, she built up her account and gained a certain influence online, which is why she has this opportunity now.

She's even considering holding her own solo concert.

It would be best if it were held in a magpie's nest.

Unfortunately, the deal for the Magpie Nest Stadium fell through.

However, the concert is indeed in the planning stages and will be officially announced soon.

She is very confident that she will be able to make a big splash with this and completely amaze the entire internet with her strength!

But now, her mother, who is also the manager of her company and the person who helps her manage the company, is telling her: "Deep Space has sent us a message, take a look for yourself."

So her mother placed a tablet in front of her.

The contents are clearly visible.

[To Ms. Qiao Manning (Wangzai Erqiao) and Benhu Interactive Entertainment Culture Media Co., Ltd., our company, Deep Space Entertainment Culture Communication Co., Ltd., has learned that your company has been infringing on the copyright of our artist, Xia Shen SKYINDEEP. We hope that your company can cease its unauthorized use of our copyrighted works and obtain authorization.]

It was a letter from Deep Space Entertainment.

They're actually saying they infringed on copyright?

This made Qiao Manning frown.

She immediately felt very unhappy.

What does this mean? I only sang a few of your songs, and you're saying I'm infringing on your copyright?

What's wrong? So stingy, you won't even let me sing a song?
Moreover, with her current popularity and online traffic, isn't it because of her that many of Xia Shen's songs are so popular?
Now look what's happened. She made the song popular, and instead of being grateful, she's now turning around and causing trouble for her?

It is simply a rebellion against Tiangang!
