Chapter 131 plagiarism? Do you have any evidence?!
While Kim Ji-hoon was still in shock, Liu Siqi, the last person to go on stage backstage, had already appeared.
Kim Ji-hoon was even more stunned when he saw Liu Si-qi on stage.
The atmosphere had already been heated up by Shen Yuege, and now it had reached its peak.
Viewers are eager to know what kind of performance Liu Siqi will deliver after Shen Yuege's explosive performance.
The lights went out again.
When Liu Siqi appeared on stage, the audience gasped in surprise once again.
Her dark and edgy look, along with her cool and sophisticated makeup, stands in stark contrast to her usual sweet image.
As the music intro began, it was surprisingly similar to Shen Yuege's.
It features strong electronic beats and extremely fast-paced dance music.
As Liu Siqi began to speak and began to dance, the entire audience was stunned.
It seems that the songs performed by Liu Siqi and Shen Yuege this time were produced by the same person.
But thinking back on it, it really was made by the same person.
Lu Ran is now the sole lyricist, composer, and arranger.
When Kim Ji-hoon heard this song, his face turned even redder.
Plagiarism! This is absolutely plagiarism!
Although this song has a different melody than Shen Yuege's song, it is also a dance song with a strong Korean style.
He had read Lu Ran's previous works, and they were not in this style at all.
If an actor can still appropriately break through their own limitations in new works, then it can be barely explained.
However, the producer's style is generally very consistent.
It's impossible to have one style before and then switch to another style in a short period of time.
And the level of another style has not declined at all.
Kim Ji-hoon was now quite certain that this Lu Ran had plagiarized their great Korean work, and he was determined to expose them in a moment.
Thinking about this, Kim Ji-hoon's earlier tension lessened considerably.
"Go ahead and copy. Once I expose you, first place will still be mine."
"I'll show you that South Korean works are unparalleled."
On stage, Liu Siqi was performing with great effort.
The song Lu Ran gave her was indeed Lee Jung-hyun's "Change" from her previous life.
Like Shen Yuege's version, Lu Ran added a Mandarin version to this song, further enhancing its quality.
As Liu Siqi sang more and more enthusiastically, the audience, who had just been worried that Liu Siqi wouldn't be able to keep up with Shen Yuege's performance, were completely astonished.
The live stream chat exploded again:
"Liu Siqi has gone mad!!!"
"What kind of epic battle is this tonight?!"
"This song is so energetic! It makes me want to do a Thomas Flair kick on the spot!"
"What secret techniques did Lu Ran give them?! They're all incredibly amazing!"
Is the Chinese music scene about to change drastically?!
On the judges' panel, Li Sheng was too excited to speak. This song was in no way inferior to Shen Yuege's song just now.
At least this show prevented the Koreans from successfully challenging the champions, thus preserving the reputation of the Chinese music scene.
Liu Siqi's performance ended amidst thunderous applause.
During the judging session, Li Sheng gave it another 10 points, and the other two judges also gave it the same score.
Just as the host was about to announce the audience scores, the back door of the stage was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
Kim Ji-hoon strode out and headed straight for the stage.
Many people were puzzled when Kim Ji-hoon walked up to them out of the blue.
No, it's not your turn to go on stage right now. Are you a sore loser?
The production team and the host were also confused. This wasn't part of the script. What happened?
what?
Kim Ji-hoon snatched the microphone from the host, cleared his throat, and addressed the audience in loud, accented Chinese:
"Dear production team, judges, and audience members, I have something to say!"
Although those present did not know what Kim Ji-hoon was going to say, they knew that this was definitely a program mishap.
The live stream camera was pointed at Kim Ji-hoon, but the director was constantly communicating urgently through his earpiece.
It's too late to stop Kim Ji-hoon from speaking now.
Because it's a live stream across the entire internet, many viewers off-camera are also watching.
If the show is abruptly interrupted, unsuspecting viewers will only think that the production team is up to something, which will deal a fatal blow to the show's reputation.
The director could only communicate with the host through an earpiece, trying to minimize the impact of the incident as much as possible.
Of course, the first thing to do is to understand what this Korean is trying to do.
Kim Ji-hoon stood on the stage, looking confident.
He pointed to Liu Siqi, who was still on stage, then to the direction where Shen Yuege had just left the stage, and said with a confident tone, "The performances of these two just now are suspected of plagiarism!"
His voice had barely faded when the entire room erupted in uproar.
This show is a national phenomenon.
The contestants on the show are all superstars with great influence in the music industry.
If Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi really did plagiarize on this show, then their careers are over.
However, many people do not believe Kim Ji-hoon's words, thinking that he knew he was going to lose, so he quickly slandered the two of them.
Kim Ji-hoon knew, of course, that not everyone could believe his words, so he added something.
"These two songs, from their arrangement and sound design to their rhythm and dance style, are completely typical of the popular music of our Republic of China era!"
"This kind of dance music has never appeared before in China. I don't believe that China could create such a mature and authentic Bang-style piece out of thin air!"
He paused, his voice becoming even sharper: "Therefore, I believe that these two songs are highly suspected of plagiarizing musical works from our South Korea!"
His words left the audience deep in thought.
Although they still didn't believe that Shen Yuege and her partner would plagiarize, Jin Zhixun's words seemed to make some sense.
Logically speaking, Kim Ji-hoon's suspicions are not without merit.
The live stream chat was buzzing with discussion, with some insisting that there was no plagiarism and others claiming it was.
"This Korean guy can't produce good works himself, so he slanders our Chinese singers."
"Koreans are just Koreans; in their mouths, everything belongs to them."
"But to be honest... these two songs do have that Korean style vibe..."
On stage, Liu Siqi's face instantly turned cold upon hearing Jin Zhixun's words.
At the same time, Shen Yuege stood up, pushed aside the staff, and strode towards the stage.
They had absolute trust in Lu Ran; with his abilities, he had no need to plagiarize.
Shen Yuege, in particular, is extremely sensitive to plagiarism after the Huang Wenshan incident. She will never allow anyone to casually pin the plagiarism label on Lu Ran.
Shen Yuege snatched the spare microphone from the host's hand, which the assistant had just handed to the host, and asked loudly in an unquestionable voice:
"Mr. Kim Ji-hoon, you accuse us of plagiarism. Do you have any evidence?"
