I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 729: Showdown of English Songs!

Following that, Dani released a new song with George as the lyricist and Dani performing the vocals.

That song’s tune was extremely similar to Natural and even had many similar lyrics. The similarities were at an astonishing 80%!

That song was released after Natural, freshly published. However, Dani managed to twist to sound like Ye Lingchen was plagiarising his song. That was an absolute joke, yet he managed to produce a large amount of evidence to prove that Natural copied largely from George’s song.

Dani continued to post his status, [I know it’s too late for me to say anything at this point. However, Singer Y from China had indeed plagiarized our work. Unfortunately I don’t know how he got his hands on our new song that we planned to release. George and I originally planned to challenge the top of the music world with this song. What a shame! George was dejected and did not want to pursue the matter. Nevertheless, I really can’t stomach this. It doesn’t matter that nobody believes me, I’d still want to make it known regardless!]

Dani voiced out, but George remained quiet. It seemed as though he had really given up after being wronged.

With that, the foreigners went into an uproar.

Was the truth important? Not at all!

They only followed their feelings, never believing that a Chinese person could compose such a nice song. Now that they found an opening, they were naturally excited.

As for the international music industry, they could immediately tell that Dani had only done that to jump on the hype train by smearing Singer Y. It was all to pave the way for his upcoming new songs.

However, they were happy with the outcome as Dani was one of them after all. What was Singer Y worth? In recent times, the international music industry received disparaging remarks from many people for losing to a Chinese. With that, they were spared from the criticism.

[F*ck! Chinese people are just too shameless!]

[That’s just too shameless. I’ve long heard of the shamelessness of Chinese people, but I never expected it to be this bad!]

[Ahhh, I should’ve known. How can a Chinese person compose something like this? Is he worthy?!]

[Singer Y should apologize right now! The Chinese are too immoral!]

[This is renewing my worldview. What epic shamelessness!]

[Poor George. Don’t be scared, we’ll support you!]

[That’s right. We’ll support George and Dani. Aren’t you guys planning to release a new song recently? We’ll definitely support you!]

[Damn it, to think that I’ve listened to Natural for quite some time. Now it feels like I’ve eaten sh*t.]

[It’s just bad. Just what was that Chinese guy singing?]

…

The foreigners were going to town with their insults and painted Singer Y as a shameless scoundrel. Quite a number of them even brought their disparaging comments into the song review.

With that, the Chinese people were triggered.

[F*ck! What is this?]

[An older song plagiarizing a newer song? Amazing. This is unheard of!]

[How scary. I’ve never thought the foreigners could be this shameless. That’s just terrifying.]

[Hahaha, I’m dying from laughter. We have so many weirdos every year, but this year we have them in overabundance!]

[I’m a little worried about those foreigners’ intelligence.]

[A bunch of nincompoops, end of diagnosis!]

[What’s wrong with the Chinese? You’re the one without any skills. Useless!]

[How difficult can an English song be? It’s nothing to Singer Y!]

…

Very soon, the foreigners and Chinese were caught in a flame war. The Chinese were criticized for being shameless while the foreigners were being criticized for being dumb*sses that lost in English songwriting to the Chinese.

In that situation, Ye Lingchen’s fame grew, leading to the huge boost in his popularity points.

It was an absolute surprise.

Ye Lingchen never expected the foreigners to be that shameless. It was fine to leech off his fame, but to think they would actually defame him and even act ignorantly about it, just because they could not believe that a Chinese person could compose a good English song.

Lately, Ye Lingchen had stayed within the new district and missed this big battle. Five days had already passed and the hype died down a little.

The foreigners thought that Singer Y was a coward due to his silence and made disparaging remarks. Meanwhile, the Chinese crowd felt insecure because of Singer Y’s silence. Could it be that he was really scared? Some would even tag him in Singer Y’s Weibo account.

‘It’s just another week to that whatchamacallit Dani’s new song release?’

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose as a curl appeared at the edge of his lips. He did not expect someone to deliver popularity points to him right when he finished spending them. Moreover, that person would even present his own face for a round of face slapping.

He casually posted a status, [I’ll release a new English song in one week! You foreigners better release all your songs before that so you can’t accuse me of plagiarizing your content.]

Once that status was posted, the fans waiting for Singer Y’s response were immediately overjoyed, feeling confident once again.

[Hahaha, Singer Y is making another appearance!]

[He’s here, he’s finally here. I knew that Singer Y would never cower!]

[He’s back!]

[Ahhh, it’s time for Singer Y to perform again? Are those foreigners ready?]

[Hahaha, what a relief. That’s right, you foreigners should quickly publish your work and stop claiming plagiarism.]

[That’s right. Shamelessness should have a limit.]

[One week later? Isn’t that the time Dani is releasing his new song? Singer Y is challenging him to a showdown!]

[That’s a must. It’s Dani’s fault for being that shameless. I’m eagerly waiting for the face slapping to start.]

[Singer Y is domineering! I believe he can crush the foreigners even with English songs!]

…

Singer Y’s fans went wild, and it was later followed by the Chinese citizens.

After all, the foreigners were acting too arrogantly before and claimed plagiarism when China made its first good English song. That was looking down at them. Anyone with a sense of nationalism would not take it quietly.

Now that Singer Y was finally leading the face slapping for them, how could they not be excited?

‘Since you felt that our Chinese people won’t be able to compose an English song, then we will come up with another masterpiece to slap your face until it swells. Just the thought of it is exciting.’

Could Singer Y compete?

What a joke. How was it possible for Singer Y to lose given his achievements in music? Did they not see how big a hit Natural was?

Very soon, that news spread internationally and shook the outside world once more.

[F*ck! That scoundrel Singer Y dares to show himself again?]

[Blasphemy. How dare a thief try to compete with us?]

[That’s too shameless. His English songs will surely be horrible.]

[The Chinese are shameless and arrogant. Hehe, it’s nothing to worry about.]

…

Following that, a lot of foreign singers announced to release their songs in the following week at the same time as though they had some sort of agreement. Those that had previously set a date would either delay or move forward their dates, all to make sure they release it on the same day as Singer Y!

‘A meager Chinese dares to challenge our English music industry? Do you even know English? Such arrogance!’

They did that in order to push Singer Y down. There was no way they could allow a Chinese person to do as he pleased. Of course, the main factor was still to jump on the hype train for that one day. In their mind, they were taking the challenge with the Chinese person for the country’s sake. With that, their countrymen should show them more support.

The foreigners were all boiling with excitement.

‘F*ck! With so many new songs, that day will be a grand one!’
