Chapter 135 Fainting
As soon as Shen Yuege finished speaking, Jin Zhixun, who thought he had escaped a disaster, suddenly had his pupils shrink.
When did Shen Yuege send it for testing? How come he didn't know?
But then I thought, even the Korean system's detection rate didn't exceed 15%, how could China's be any more complicated?
However, Shen Yuege's words made the already lively scene even more lively.
"Is there a sequel?"
"Today's ticket was worth it!"
"I bet this episode will be the most popular one yet. Camera, point it here."
"Yeah, if I can be on TV, I want to be on TV too."
For a moment, many spectators waved their hands and looked for the camera.
The camera also kindly gave many close-ups of the audience.
The host was also somewhat stunned.
Why are there so many unexpected situations tonight? Are we not allowed to leave work?
Fortunately, he also heard the director's instructions through his earpiece at that moment.
The host quickly looked at Shen Yuege and asked in a confirming tone, "Yuege, are you saying that you also used the 'Golden Shield' system to test Mr. Kim Ji-hoon's songs?"
"Yes." Shen Yuege nodded, took her phone from her assistant, and swiped to unlock the screen.
"The test report is right here. Considering that Mr. Kim seemed to have some doubts about our country's testing system earlier..." She raised her eyes, her gaze calmly sweeping over Kim Ji-hoon, and said, "I think we should use our own system to do another test, and at the same time, I want him to recognize our country's system."
Shen Yuege's words were very well said, pointing out Jin Zhixun's double standards while also making a point of advocating fairness.
At this point, no one could say anything, because Shen Yuege's statement was perfectly reasonable.
"Let her project it directly onto the screen," the director instructed backstage.
After the host and backstage staff confirmed, a staff member ran over and took the phone from Shen Yue.
At this point, Kim Ji-hoon really wanted to stop it. Although he felt that even if he used "Rock Shield," his song would definitely not exceed the 15% plagiarism threshold, he was still a little uneasy.
She watched helplessly as the staff connected and projected the report from Shen Yuege's phone onto the screen.
On the huge screen, the interface of the Dragon Kingdom's "LeDun" copyright detection system is clearly displayed.
At the top is the song information: Kim Ji-hoon's "Electric Night," which is the title track from Kim Ji-hoon's previous album and the song he will be singing tonight.
In the middle are complex waveform comparison charts and similarity analysis data.
At the very bottom, in the final conclusion section, a striking red number appears:
Overall similarity: 16%
Judgment: The work is highly similar to the registered copyrighted work "Energetic and Vibrant" (sung by Chen Junnan, registered in China), and is suspected of plagiarism.
Red text indicates: This exceeds the 15% warning line; it is recommended to initiate a copyright investigation.
"16%..."
The host subconsciously read out the number: "LeShield's" test results were much higher than those of their country, exceeding the threshold for plagiarism.
And similar songs are also noted below.
This time, both the audience at the venue and those watching on screens erupted with even stronger voices than before.
"16%! Passed! Passed!"
"Confirmed! Blatant plagiarism!"
"The Korean system detected 13%, while our system detected 16%! Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
"Using South Korea's system, we get 0%; using our system, you get 16%! Tell me, who's more powerful?!"
"Energetic and Vibrant? Chen Junnan? Isn't that a song by some relatively unknown singer from our country two years ago?"
"No wonder their system couldn't detect it! Turns out it was copied from our Dragon Country!"
"International thief! Plagiarist!"
The live stream chat went completely crazy, and the server even lagged for a while.
"#KimJiHoonPlagiarism# is set to trend on Weibo!"
"#KimJiHoonGetOutOfTheEntertainmentIndustry# Let's flood this page!"
"Where's the face powder you just used to wash your face? Is your face swollen?"
"Hahaha, what a massive boomerang scene! He swung it around and slapped himself!"
"Shen Yuege's move was so cool! It was absolutely devastating!"
On the judges' panel, Li Sheng shook his head and sighed, while the other two judges also looked very grim.
Competing in international competitions only to be exposed for plagiarism is no longer just a personal scandal, but also a matter of national dignity.
Moreover, this plagiarism incident will definitely affect Kim Ji-hoon's future career development, and may even bring his career to an end.
Kim Ji-hoon stared blankly at the bright red "16%" on the screen, then at the unfamiliar song title "Energetic" below, his mind went completely blank.
Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense. Even if it was plagiarism, it was plagiarized from South Korea, so how did it become Chinese?
Is it really such a coincidence that there is a song in China that overlaps so much with my song, and that it was released before my song?
16%.
LeShield System.
Chen Junan.
Plagiarism is confirmed.
These words are constantly swirling in Kim Ji-hoon's mind right now.
It’s over.
It's all over.
His career, his reputation, his popularity in China... all gone!
"No...impossible! Your system...your system is faulty..." Kim Ji-hoon felt like he was having trouble breathing. He clutched his heart, still trying to make a last-ditch effort: "My...song was just...just borrowed...borrowed from...works from our South Korea."
However, his explanations were drowned out by the condemnation of the audience, and no one listened to him anymore.
Shen Yuege looked at Jin Zhixun's distraught appearance with no pity in her eyes, only indifference.
She picked up the microphone, and her voice carried clearly throughout the room:
"Music knows no borders, but copyright has ownership, and integrity has a bottom line. To borrow Mr. Jin's words—" She paused, then spoke each word with resounding conviction:
"Hopefully, today's test results will provide some...inspiration for everyone."
"puff--!"
It's unclear who started laughing first, but soon the whole audience burst into laughter, which was mixed with applause and cheers.
"Haha, that's inspiring!"
"An eye for an eye!"
Kim Ji-hoon stood in the center of the stage, under the spotlight. His face turned from white to green, then from green to red, and his whole body trembled violently.
He was surrounded by deafening laughter, and before him were the glaring words "16%" and "plagiarism." He knew the internet was already in an uproar, and if his plagiarism was confirmed, he would likely face being blacklisted, having his contract terminated, and facing exorbitant compensation claims...
Extreme panic, shame, and despair intertwined, turning into a sweet, metallic taste that surged up in my throat.
He suddenly clutched his chest, and everything went black.
To everyone's astonishment, and under the close-up lens.
Kim Ji-hoon—the top South Korean singer who was so arrogant just an hour ago—swayed and then fell straight backward.
"Bang!"
...
