On July 3rd, Soda Green’s official WeChat post announced the change of the group’s name to “Yu Ding Shi”. At a bifurcation point in a certain timeline, we have a completely different life and history. ?
In 2017, Soda Green announced a three-year hiatus. During this period, Soda Green and Lin Weizhe's team (former agency) parted ways due to contract renewal issues. Then, Lin Weizhe filed a petition to sue Soda Green and others to court. The reason is: the copyright of more than 270 songs, including "Little Love Song" created by the Sodagreen team, belongs to Lin Weizhe's company. Sodagreen and others are not allowed to perform commercial performances in public without its authorization. Even most of the trademarks for the "Soda Green" band name were registered by Lin Weizhe's company. In addition to the core "records and posters", the trademark registration categories are basically all registered in other categories, which can be regarded as relatively complete. trademark protection system.
The new group name is derived from the traditional Chinese character for "Soda Green". They once used this name to appear on the demo video before the release of their first album in 2005. They also used this group name to appear on the 2016 Ocean Music Awards. The stage of the festival. Not only the names were changed, but the group members also took on new stage names. A Fu is Ke Tian, ??Jia Kai is Bo Dou, Xiao Wei is Ba Nu, A Gong is Jin Ba, Xin Yi is Xiang Wo, and Qing Feng is Sunrise. Each person represents their own representative. Symbol, even the fans have the codename Duckweed, and the fan support club is called Chitang. Qingfeng said: "We are just so willful." ?
In addition to traveling the music world under a new name, Yu Dingjin also hopes to break out of the past boxes and baggage, and do things that he has never tried before because he felt that there was a baggage and could not be done. The eight female drummers (Serena Williams) ) said, "Our only guiding principle is not to be like soda green." If you originally know what soda green is, then Yu Dingjin is the opposite. ?
From an intellectual property perspective, a new start also makes it easier for Yudingshi to own its own copyright and trademark exclusive rights in the future to prevent it from being involved in infringement disputes in the future, and will not be subject to it in the future? Soda Green will not be subject to any constraints, and will re-create new creations belonging to Wu Qingfeng and others as "Yu Ding Shi". To put it another way, in order to avoid copyright disputes and trademark ownership issues with the original agency, Wu Qingfeng and others abandoned the "Soda Green" brand that they had finally won, and started from scratch. In addition to losing its original popularity base, its commercial value in the later period may also be greatly reduced.
From now on, there will be no more "soda green" in the world, and "yudingshi" will accompany us for many more years.
