Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The broadcast of the S-level animated series "Saint Seiya" on Tencent Video is in full swing.

The epic tale of the Bronze Saints burning their cosmos, being knocked down time and time again, and rising again and again.

With its excellent production and spectacular battle scenes packed with special effects, it has attracted the attention of a large number of teenagers and even adult viewers.

Its popularity is steadily rising, and it remains at the top of the animation section on Tencent Video.

However, there is a song called "Pegasus Fantasy".

It suddenly went viral on major music platforms, short video websites, and gaming communities!

The song opens with a rousing electric guitar intro and a burst of drumbeats, instantly grabbing the listener's attention. Then, a powerful male vocal, brimming with youthful resilience, takes center stage:

[Holding each other tightly, the little universe within my heart]

Burn with passion, and create miracles.

We can't just get hurt like this.

In the distant Milky Way, they swore oaths to each other.

Pegasus's fantasies are not just dreams.

...]

The melody was so passionate, the lyrics so perfectly captured the core spirit of Saint Seiya, and the arrangement so layered and epic in its battle feel.

Almost every Saint Seiya viewer who heard this song felt as if their soul had been struck.

The comments section completely erupted:

"Holy crap! Where did this song come from?! It's such a perfect match for Saint Seiya! It's practically a battle anthem tailor-made for Seiya!"

"I used to think the current opening theme of Saint Seiya was pretty good, quite powerful, but after listening to 'Pegasus Fantasy'... sorry, the original opening theme suddenly doesn't work anymore! This is the BGM that Pegasus Saint should have!"

"It's more than just good for animation! Listening to this song gets my blood pumping! It's perfect as background music for games!"

"You're only just realizing? Our guild was doing this cross-server guild war this week, and the commander played this song the whole time! The guys charged in like crazy, and we blew up the enemy's crystal! This song has a combat power buff!"

"I need the resource! I need to download it! I want to listen to this song on repeat a hundred times!"

"After listening to this song, I feel like I could go get beaten up and unleash my inner power! (Just kidding)"

Excellent fan works can often greatly boost the popularity of the original work.

The viral spread of "Pegasus Fantasy" directly led to a large number of new viewers being drawn to watch "Saint Seiya".

Longtime viewers also enthusiastically rewatched it.

The number of views for "Saint Seiya" on Tencent Video has grown rapidly.

The comments section was also filled with phrases like "I was drawn here by 'Pegasus Fantasy'" and "This episode should feature 'Pegasus Fantasy'."

The situation is very promising.

The entire Penguin Video Animation Division was even secretly pleased.

This is practically free, top-tier publicity that fell from the sky.

However, when curious netizens clicked on the song details to see which talented fan was behind it...

The creator information that came into view caused everyone's pupils to widen in shock.

Pegasus Fantasy

Singer: Nobuo Yamada

Lyrics by: A-Guang

Composer: A-Guang

Arrangement: Land of Light Music Studio

The Land of Light?!

Ah Guang?!

He actually composed and released a god-tier soundtrack for his rival's flagship animation, a soundtrack that's practically a soul-stirring theme song?!

The tone of the comments section suddenly changed.

"Damn it! Brothers! There's a mole! Stop the transaction!"

"This mole is the biggest boss on the other side personally involved! Everbright, what kind of move is this?!"

"Holy crap! My CPU's fried! What's wrong with A-Guang? What triggered him? Why is he doing something so bizarre, like aiding the enemy? Did he get so moved by Saint Seiya that he couldn't resist generating electricity for love?"

"Everbright: You didn't expect that, did you? When I go crazy, I'll even attack my own people!"

"This is top-notch understanding! Using the opponent's IP to train their own music creation team?"

"Guangda, has your account been hacked?"

"No, just listen to the quality of this song. It's clearly been meticulously produced. Guangda is serious."

No one understands why Yang Qian did this.

Animation Department of Tencent Video.

The wisteria flowers also listened to this song.

It really matches the animation perfectly.

But what exactly does Ah-Guang want to do?

Add fuel to the fire of a competitor's work?

This is completely contrary to business logic, and even more so to Ah-Guang's consistent style of precise strikes and overwhelming creativity.

"Purple CEO, this song's data is very good."

"It's the number one trending topic on major music platforms, and its play count has already exceeded 20 million."

"Moreover... the comments section is full of praise for 'Saint Seiya,' and our viewership has also increased as a result."

The assistant reports to the supervisor.

The wisteria flower remained silent.

She thought she knew Ah-Guang well enough.

But to my surprise, I couldn't keep up with the other person's train of thought at all.

Just as everyone was speculating, Yang Qian updated her Weibo.

[Light Country Animation Studio - Hikaru]:

"I've been watching Saint Seiya lately, it's really exciting and I really get into it."

I had a sudden burst of inspiration, so I tried writing a poem called "Pegasus Fantasy".

It's purely a personal hobby and creative exercise, and I think some friends might like it too.

Free download across all platforms.

As soon as the news broke, a large number of netizens flocked to it.

"Here it comes! The creator has responded! Purely a personal hobby and creative practice... Listen to this, is that even human language? Your practice piece has completely blown away the official opening!"

"Some animation studio owners, instead of thinking about their own next project, are busy writing songs for their rivals' animations. (doge)"

"Waaaaah, is this the legendary love-hate relationship, a love-hate dynamic? Land of Light x Tencent Video, I'm shipping this couple! The domineering CEO writes a song for love!"

"Shut upstairs! A couple can be niche, but it can't be weird! This is business competition, not an idol drama!"

"Free? Great, I'll download it now!"

"Hilarious! This is the first time Nanshan Pizza Hut has suffered a setback! They had solid evidence and could have sued for copyright infringement and made a fortune, but the other party simply made it free. There's nothing left to sue!"

"Tencent's legal department rubbed their hands excitedly, then clicked on the copyright information... and fell silent."

"Everbright: Do you even understand what absolute talent and creative freedom mean? Being talented means you can be this capricious!"

"I always felt... that Everbright's move was a veiled criticism of certain musicians in the Chinese entertainment industry. They can't write songs, and their concerts rely entirely on covers and lip-syncing. How can they compare to Everbright's creative speed and quality?"

"We can even find insider gossip about the Chinese entertainment industry here? Both of us are overjoyed."

At the Penguin Video Animation Division, Wisteria was momentarily speechless as she looked at the Weibo post that A-Guang had just made.

Publicly available copyright means that anyone can use it.

Even if Tencent Video directly uses it as the opening theme of "Saint Seiya", there would be no problem.

The assistant came to report.

"President Zi, I just consulted the legal department. 'Pegasus Fantasy' is a non-profit song and does not infringe on 'Saint Seiya'."

"I know."

The wisteria flowers nodded.

"Furthermore, I have no intention of pursuing the matter further."

Investigate?

The higher-ups are overjoyed.

This song is essentially a top-notch publicity opportunity that Ah Guang gave to Tencent for free.

This directly boosted the viewership and buzz surrounding "Saint Seiya".

Even the stock of Tencent Video saw a slight increase.

Should we report to the meritorious officials at this time?

Shareholders and retail investors in the A-share market will be the first to object.

Suddenly, the wisteria flower realized that she might not really understand Ah Guang.

This person's logic in doing things is never conventional.

Just then, Wisteria's work email notification sounded.

She opened it and saw an email instruction from a higher level in the company.

The core message is: to attempt to contact the Land of Light and discuss commercial copyright sharing or licensing cooperation for the song "Pegasus Fantasy".

Since the other party has demonstrated sincerity and talent, it is the rational choice for a business company to translate that into tangible benefits.

If this song could become the official promotional song for "Saint Seiya" or even replace the opening theme, that would be wonderful.

It is entirely beneficial to penguins.

Wisteria took a deep breath: "Get ready, and formally send a letter of intent for cooperation to the Land of Light in the name of the business division."

Land of Light Animation Studio.

Yang Qian then received an email from Tencent Video.

The wording of the content is very cautious.

First, he expressed his appreciation for the quality of "Pegasus Fantasy" and his desire to explore the possibility of commercial cooperation.

They then proposed sharing the copyright or obtaining formal authorization.

This is so that Tencent Video can legally use the song in promotional and derivative developments related to "Saint Seiya".

At the same time, the Land of Light can retain the commercial profit rights of the song, achieving a win-win situation.

"They've arrived as expected."

Yang Qian murmured to herself.

That was exactly what he wanted.

From the very beginning, he didn't write this song to benefit Tencent Video, but rather to get them to come to him.

The copyright of a song can be exchanged for a win-win cooperation model.

Tencent Video gained face, while the Land of Light gained substance.

More importantly, without the song "Pegasus Fantasy," Saint Seiya would never be complete.

Now, it's complete.

As for netizens' concerns about aiding the enemy?

nonexistent.

Because Saint Seiya's rival is Dragon Ball.

"Xiao Ran, get ready to promote your new work."

Su Xiaoran: "Okay, Director Yang. What's the project this time?"

Yang Qian smiled slightly, without giving a direct answer.

"Xiao Ran, do you know? In some stories, even the protagonist who carries the dreams and beliefs of countless people..."

"They can die too."

Su Xiaoran: "???"

She looked at Yang Qian.

On that face was an expression she recognized—I'm about to cause trouble.

She keenly realized that Director Yang was about to dig another hole.

I feel sorry for the audience for a second.

By the way...

Praise and joy.
