The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 469 - 469 443 Sample

469: Chapter 443 Sample 469: Chapter 443 Sample “I’ll take a look at the sample clip you guys recorded first,” Liu Hun said to Lin Xiaoxiang.

Although he wrote the song, he hadn’t yet heard the sample sung by Shi Qing’er; he had been busy promoting and creating hype these past few days.

The recording of the sample clip had been entirely up to Lin Xiaoxiang to manage.

“Um, sure!” Lin Xiaoxiang said as she began to rummage through her bag.

Shi Qing’er, exhausted, sat up and turned on the TV, saying, “Let’s watch TV for a bit.

I haven’t watched TV in so long, it’s really killing me.”

“…Catch the latest trends in the music world on ‘The Most Entertaining.’ Welcome to the newest episode of ‘The Most Entertaining.’ Today, we’ll introduce the music world’s rising star Cheng Yuxuan…”

Shi Qing’er initially wanted to change the channel but suddenly became interested when she heard the entertainment host’s introduction and decided to see what the program would say.

Liu Hun and Lin Xiaoxiang also watched attentively.

“…As the artist heavily promoted by Yinyue Company after its change in leadership, Cheng Yuxuan has received widespread attention.

Not only is there lavish packaging and promotion by her own company, but also relentless coverage by various media outlets.

And what’s more, more important, she has gotten hold of a song by Liu Hun.

Everyone knows that songs from Liu Hun are always sweeping the charts with massive sales.

Cheng Yuxuan’s success in the Chinese music scene is almost assured, just lacking that last push, and it seems that the gentle breeze has already started blowing!

Let’s have an early look at the charming Cheng Yuxuan’s upcoming new album’s song right now…”

“What the heck!

Why are they only reporting on her?

I’m also singing a song written by ‘Frown Man,’ alright!” Shi Qing’er complained and frustratably punched her SpongeBob SquarePants plush toy.

“…When I saw the torn battle dress on your left shoulder, the expression behind your armor, you wanted to tell me with a smile… Like a knight’s loyalty, the fearless look in your eyes conquers evil, this fleeting moment, always in my heart, just like the armor in front of your chest, protecting me, making my heart ache…”

The entertainment program on TV immediately started to play the “Knight Spirit” written by Liu Hun for the two of them.

However, what left the three speechless was that the brief snippet shown on the entertainment program was almost identical to the MV and the tune that Shi Qing’er had shot over the past week!

“Eh!

Why are they playing my MV…

wait, something’s wrong!

How come… How come it’s Cheng Yuxuan?!” Shi Qing’er pointed at the TV screen and asked Lin Xiaoxiang and Liu Hun.

“What exactly is going on?” Liu Hun asked Lin Xiaoxiang and Shi Qing’er.

Lin Xiaoxiang was at a loss for words and simply took out the sample clip to show Liu Hun, saying, “You should first look at Qing’er’s clip.” Then she began to play the sample clip that Shi Qing’er had recorded that week.

Watching Shi Qing’er in the MV with her stunning and exquisite beauty, Liu Hun was completely stunned.

Although Shi Qing’er indeed looked divinely gorgeous after dressing up, it wasn’t her appearance that shocked him.

It was that some parts of the whole MV, and just now the MV played on TV featuring Cheng Yuxuan, were exactly the same – only the leading lady in the MV had been switched from Shi Qing’er to Cheng Yuxuan.

“Our hard work has been completely plagiarized!” Liu Hun said coldly as he watched the MV playing on TV.

Although the entertainment program only broadcasted a few clips, he had a thousand reasons to believe that Cheng Yuxuan’s MV would be exactly the same.

“How could this happen?!

They are so shameless!

The creativity of these MVs and the tuning of the songs took so long to discuss, almost changing our minds until we passed out before we shot them!

How could they just steal it like that?” Shi Qing’er stood up in anger.

Lin Xiaoxiang quickly grabbed Shi Qing’er and comforted her, saying, “Qing’er, don’t panic, we’ll figure out a solution slowly, we’ll definitely find a way to deal with this.”

“Hmph!

If it comes down to it, we’ll go to the media and expose them!

Sue them for plagiarism!” Shi Qing’er said to Lin Xiaoxiang.

Liu Hun shook his head and said, “It’s no use, Ma Lin’s move is too sneaky.

He’s already exposed snippets of the MV on TV.

If we go to the media now, he’ll turn it around on us, making it unclear who plagiarized whom.”

Lin Xiaoxiang, holding Shi Qing’er back down, said, “Manager Liu is right.

If we make a fuss about this, it will turn into a joke, and we might not even win.

Our promotional efforts would then become a negative effect.”

“Ah!

This is infuriating!” Shi Qing’er said and punched her SpongeBob SquarePants plush toy again.

“Eh… hang on… something’s not right…” Liu Hun, watching the still-playing MV, suddenly felt something was off.

Lin Xiaoxiang looked puzzled at Liu Hun and asked, “Manager Liu, what’s wrong?

Do you notice a problem?”

“Why is ‘Knight Spirit’ sung in this tune?

This song should be an R&B style tune.

Why is it sung so slowly, so gently?

It’s too bizarre!” Liu Hun finally realized what was amiss; until now, his mind had been preoccupied with the issue of plagiarism.

“What’s R&B style?

I’ve never heard of it.

And… previously, many producers said the tunes you wrote were really odd.

I saw you were busy and couldn’t contact you several times, so I let them make changes, and they turned it into this.

It should be okay, though,” Lin Xiaoxiang explained to Liu Hun, thinking the style of the song turned out quite well and that music fans and the market would definitely accept it.

“Let’s set the style aside for now.

I think we must find the source of the plagiarism as soon as possible.

Otherwise, no matter how hard we work, our efforts will be plagiarized,” Lin Xiaoxiang said to Liu Hun.

She truly felt this matter was more pressing, as if being watched stealthily made her uncomfortable, and having the fruits of their labors plagiarized upset her even more.

“Eh!

Eh!

Eh!” Shi Qing’er suddenly shouted and then hopped up from the couch, bouncing over to Lin Xiaoxiang and hugging her tightly.

“What’s wrong, Qing’er?” Lin Xiaoxiang asked in surprise, having never seen Shi Qing’er act so unusually.

“These…

these eyes of SpongeBob move!

I just saw its eyes spin around!” Shi Qing’er pointed at the SpongeBob doll with trembling hands, her pretty face pale with fright.

“The eyes move?!” Liu Hun suddenly felt that something was amiss and immediately went over to the couch to pick up the SpongeBob doll, “Hmph!

So you’ve started with this trick!” As he spoke, he dug out both of SpongeBob’s eyeballs.

The two women then saw clearly, one of SpongeBob’s eyeballs was a normal glass sphere, while the other was a monitor connected with wires.

Liu Hun yanked out the wires and asked Shi Qing’er, “When did this thing get into your hands?”

Shi Qing’er, realizing she wasn’t seeing ghosts and feeling relieved, said, “It was given to me by a fan on the very first day we started filming the MV.”

“It’s despicable!

Using such methods to steal our work!” Lin Xiaoxiang said indignantly.

“Now we have evidence, right?!

We can go sue them!” Shi Qing’er said, holding the SpongeBob doll.

Liu Hun shook his head and said, “Can you find the fan who gave you this doll?”

Shi Qing’er, a bit disheartened, shook her head and said, “I can’t.”

“So, they won’t admit to it,” Liu Hun said as he threw SpongeBob’s eyes into the trash bin.

“What should we do now?

These few MVs were brainstormed with great difficulty, and starting over could be very troublesome.

First, we need to come up with ideas that are at least as good as these.

Second, the songs and everything have been exposed by Cheng Yuxuan, so if we sing them again, Ma Lin and his group will definitely use that to insinuate that we copied.

That will leave a bad impression on the fans and the market,” Lin Xiaoxiang analyzed with concern.

“Then don’t sing it like that!

And…

you haven’t grasped the essence of the song,” Liu Hun said and immediately made a series of arrangements over the phone to Zhong Xiao.

“Liu… Manager Liu, what do you mean?” Lin Xiaoxiang was puzzled by Liu Hun’s actions and even more unclear about what he meant by the essence.

“I just called Zhong Xiao to handle the visas and plane tickets.

Qing’er, go pack your luggage.

Xiaoxiang, call and inform all the staff members involved in the MV shoot to bring whoever you trust and whoever is necessary,” Liu Hun directed them.

“Booking plane tickets?

Where are we going?” Lin Xiaoxiang asked Liu Hun, while Shi Qing’er looked on with eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

“To the Czech capital, Prague!”

Sitting in the first-class cabin of the Airbus A380 on the way to Prague, Shi Qing’er was exceptionally excited.

She had never been abroad before, let alone to a romantic place like Prague, and for the purpose of shooting an MV for her very first solo album, the thought alone was thrilling.

After Liu Hun instructed Zhong Xiao on some matters, he entrusted domestic affairs to him, while Lin Xiaoxiang also brought along a streamlined team of ten people and hit the road.

After the plane stabilized in flight, Shi Qing’er’s restless nature acted up again, and she kneeled on her seat looking here and there.

Many foreigners seemed novel to her, so she said to Lin Xiaoxiang beside her, “Sister Lin, the genes of Westerners are really strange—eyes can be multiple colors, and hair can come in many styles.

The genes of Asians and Africans don’t show such diversity.” Remembering what she learned in high school, Shi Qing’er enthusiastically shared with Lin Xiaoxiang, even recalling that the CEO of Jinxin Media, Gao Yelan, was a green-eyed mixed-race individual.

“Uncommon sights for the insular, that’s just how inferior races are,” a man sitting behind Shi Qing’er said coldly with a mocking tone.

“Hey!

Who are you calling an inferior race?!

Is that how you speak?!” Shi Qing’er pointed at a man behind her.

The man was tall and muscular; although he had black hair and yellow skin like hers, he showed distinct characteristics of a white person and, like Gao Yelan, was also a mixed-race individual.

“Turns out you can understand English—how unusual!

Don’t you understand what I said?

Inferior yellow pig!

Stop jumping around and sit down properly; I can even smell the inferior stench emanating from you!” The man fanned at his nose with displeasure.

“I don’t smell!” Shi Qing’er earnestly sniffed herself, indeed detecting a smell, but it was the fragrance of jasmine perfume.
