Tan Weiwei was criticized for adapting a song at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Does singing the song involve infringement?

In fact, many of them are not just songs, but also involve copyright. However, the awareness of domestic people in this regard is not particularly strong. Tan Weiwei was criticized for adapting songs purely because it touched the bottom line of some people. Okay, just use the law to criticize.

A few days ago, many celebrities were invited to the "Mid-Autumn Party" during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among them, the adapted version of the song "Dare to Ask Where is the Way" by singer Tan Weiwei turned out to be a hot topic among the public. The adapted song was first criticized by a large number of melon-eaters as "unpleasant", and then the original author of the song, Xu Jingqing, also posted "accusations" on social platforms. For a while, the singer Tan Weiwei was pushed to the forefront.

Later on the evening of the 15th, Tan Weiwei and his studio formally apologized on Weibo, saying that "as a singer, I should do my best to express every song well" and that Teacher Xu Jingqing’s work “Dare to Ask Where is the Way”, which was performed at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, expressed an apology. Tan Weiwei also apologized to Mr. Xu Jingqing, saying, “I hope I will have the opportunity to perform your work again next time and truly participate in the adaptation. I will think about it carefully and polish it repeatedly.” , respecting the wishes of you and the original author to ensure the perfection of the performance."

Mr. Xu Jingqing angrily criticized "adapting the song without my authorization and distorting the original intention of the work" even if "no matter how good your singing skills are!" Well, no matter how dazzling the style is, it still disrespects the copyright and the original author..." In fact, it is without the permission of the original singer. If considered in accordance with the patent, this is indeed a fatal point.

But what the editor wants to say here is that the reason why a classic is a classic is because of its continuity, and one form of continuity is plasticity. We should not deliberately criticize certain adaptations. Classics do not integrate with the times, and they cannot be continued without evolution.
