[Imagination triggered by the copyright dispute of "Li Bai"] In 2012, popular singer Lin Yue encountered boycotts from the entire Internet for covering original songs infringement, and her career hit rock bottom. At a concert where more than 70% of the tickets were refunded, she sang "Song Girl from the End of the World" with tears in her eyes, but when she sang "Looking for a Soulmate", she traveled to Shanghai in 1937 and became a fledgling singer named Zhou Xiaoxuan.
In this era without copyright awareness, Lin Yue experienced the cruel reality of creators being arbitrarily plundered: original lyrics and music were bought out by bosses at a low price, and the hard work of talented musicians was harvested by capital at a low price. This time, awakening to the rules of modern people, she no longer escapes. Taking advantage of the talent of "golden voice", Lin Yue teamed up with composer He Luting to plant the first tree with difficulty in this copyright wasteland.
This is a wonderful interlacing of time and space: whenever she sang "Song Girl from the End of the World" in the Republic of China, she could return to modern times; the long years she experienced in the Republic of China only lasted a moment in reality. She used this "borrowed time" to form the "Mingyue Authors Association" in 1937 to speak out for the weak, and in 2012 she established the "Light of Creators" foundation to reshape the bottom line of the industry.
"Pleasant listening is not the reason, respect is."
This is not only a counterattack across time and space, but also a redemption about music and dignity. She used a period of time in 1937 to hear the voices that had been hidden by history; and to truly understand that song today, 80 years later.
