Chapter 340: Chapter 340: The Lone Boatman Himself

Yan Qi had tens of millions of fans online, and many of them had listened to his new song released last month, with many even looping the single.

Now, as soon as they heard Shen Yanhe start singing, they could tell the similarity between the two songs.

Such blatant plagiarism was intolerable to Yan Qi’s fans.

[Such blatant plagiarism, Shen Yanhe is really bold.]

[Speechless, are plagiarists so arrogant?]

[Shen Yanhe’s whole family should drop dead today, I’m not joking.]

[Daring to copy even the compositions of the great Yi Gu Zhou, Shen Yanhe is really bold.]

Soon, the hashtag #ShenYanhePlagiarized started trending.

The expressions of the guests at the venue also became somewhat odd.

Yu Jiao looked at Shen Yanhe with a peculiar expression, her eyes containing excitement and distortion. She didn’t wait for her to finish singing and asked, "Wait, why do I feel like I’ve heard this melody before?"

Shen Yanhe stopped strumming her guitar.

Yu Jiao flipped her hair and turned her head, looking at Yan Qi with a shocked face, "Teacher Yan, isn’t this song’s melody the same as the one you released last month, ’My Own Path’? Even the lyrics... are the same."

Yan Qi clenched his fist and looked at Shen Yanhe with a helplessly imploring expression, "Miss Shen, although the song you sang is good, but... ah, let’s respect originality."

Shen Yanhe gently strummed the guitar strings, looking indifferently at Yan Qi with a raised eyebrow, her meaning unclear, "You are the original creator?"

Yan Qi smiled and responded, "Your song and the one I released last month have the exact same lyrics and melody. I specifically hired the lyric master Yi Gu Zhou to write it, so strictly speaking, the original creator is Yi Gu Zhou."

Most in the music industry are at least aware of the name Yi Gu Zhou.

Inside the music circle, Yi Gu Zhou is a mysterious and highly influential figure, known by netizens as "The Hand of God" because every composition and lyric she writes becomes a classic.

The most typical example is Su Qi, who became famous early on through several arrangements by Yi Gu Zhou. From that moment, every singer in the music industry wanted to collaborate with Yi Gu Zhou.

Moreover, many producers wanted to reach out to her for work.

However, Yi Gu Zhou’s whereabouts were too mysterious; no one in the industry could locate her.

Yan Qi made a considerable sum last month just from the fame of Yi Gu Zhou personally composing for his album.

Yu Jiao sighed, looked at Shen Yanhe and said, "Yanhe, if you wanted to sing, why didn’t you just stick with ’My Own Path’? Why go through the trouble of plagiarizing?"

Song Shiwei frowned and looked at Yu Jiao unhappily, "There’s no spectrogram, you accuse of plagiarism just because the start sounds similar? Who taught you to accuse so baselessly?"

Luo Yao also furrowed her brows and said, "I’ve also heard Teacher Yan’s song. Sister Yanhe’s song does sound a bit similar in the beginning, but the middle and later parts don’t sound alike at all."

She paused and added, "Besides, Sister Yanhe’s song is smoother and deeper than Teacher Yan’s."

Although the lyrics in the beginning of Yan Qi’s song were impressive, the later lyrics were quite ordinary.

After Luo Yao and Song Shiwei’s comments, the live audience exploded.

[I’ve been a fan of Luo Yao for a long time, I didn’t expect her to be this type of person, supporting a plagiarist, I’m unfollowing.]

[I thought that Sister Song Shiwei was a decent person previously, but I didn’t expect her to support plagiarism? I’m disgusted.]

[These three women are all the same, aren’t they? What good can come from those who support plagiarism?]

[I think Luo Yao makes a good point, only the beginning sounds similar, not the later parts, and her lyrics are deeper.]

Su Qi looked at both of them with a peculiar expression, as if viewing two patients in the late stages of stupidity.

Shen Yanhe did not rush to defend herself, nor did she appear annoyed, but simply looked at Yan Qi with a smile and said, "I wasn’t aware I had composed any songs for you."

This light remark landed on Yan Qi and Yu Jiao’s ears like a thunderclap on a clear day, making their ears hum.

Yan Qi and Yu Jiao instantly widened their eyes and, simultaneously, turned their gazes towards Shen Yanhe.

Yan Qi couldn’t hold back, he laughed, finding it absurd, "Miss Shen, I know you don’t want to be labeled as a plagiarist, but you can’t seriously be thinking of pretending to be the Great Yi Gu Zhou, can you?"

He looked at Su Qi with a smile and said, "We have someone here who has actually seen Yi Gu Zhou himself. If you’re going to impersonate him, you should at least get your facts straight."

The live stream audience couldn’t hold back either.

[Shen Yanhe would say anything to escape the plagiarism charge.]

[I was scared for a moment there, I really thought she might be the Great Yi Gu Zhou.]

[The Great Yi Gu Zhou became famous three years ago. How old was Shen Yanhe back then? Not even an adult, right?]

[Hehe, she didn’t expect Su Qi had met the Great Yi Gu Zhou, did she? Now she’s capsized.]

Yan Qi raised his hand to wipe the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, turned to Su Qi, and asked, "Su Qi, you’ve met the Great Yi Gu Zhou, right? Tell her what the master is really like."

Su Qi coldly regarded Yan Qi, his eyes carrying a bit of pity for the foolish, and remained silent.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A minute passed, and Su Qi still hadn’t spoken.

The smile on Yan Qi’s face gradually faded, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

He forcibly suppressed the unease within, and spoke up, "Su Qi, say something."

The production crew remained silent too, anxiously watching Su Qi.

Suddenly, Su Qi chuckled, helplessly looking at Shen Yanhe and said, "Sorry, Yan God, but this isn’t my fault, you exposed yourself."

He looked up with a half-smile at Yan Qi, "I can verify that she is indeed Yi Gu Zhou himself."

Everyone present widened their eyes.

Lin Hao, holding a megaphone, trembled slightly, and asked incredulously again, "What did you just say, she, she is the Great Yi Gu Zhou?"

This must be a joke, right?

The Great Yi Gu Zhou turned out to be a young woman?

He, he had actually invited the Great Yi Gu Zhou to record the show?

Su Qi slightly nodded, and spoke, "Yes, she is the Great Yi Gu Zhou."

"When she wrote lyrics for me, we made an agreement that I couldn’t reveal her identity to anyone in the industry."

Now that Shen Yanhe has revealed herself, it doesn’t count as breaking the agreement.

Luo Yao and Song Shiwei looked at her with shock all over their faces.

"Oh my gosh," Luo Yao couldn’t help but whisper, "So the master was right beside me?"

"Little He Miao, you, wow." Song Shiwei patted her shoulder, still a bit shocked, murmured, "This is going to be a huge earthquake in the industry."

Qi Zeyi slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at Shen Yanhe with a hint of profound meaning.

Yu Jiao’s face was full of shock and disbelief, staring at Shen Yanhe, her fingernails almost dug into her palm.

Shen Yanhe was actually Yi Gu Zhou?

How could she possibly be Yi Gu Zhou?!

Yan Qi was stunned by this news, his mind going blank, and his face gradually lost all color as he thought of something.

The real Yi Gu Zhou is here.

That meant what he had just said...
