I woke up to find I had gotten my marriage certificate with a female celebrity.
Chapter 61 Sweet Princess, Chen Xiran
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi began to think about what song to write.
His first thought was actually the same as Lu Yuan's.
Love songs are the easiest things to write.
This genre accounts for 80-90% of the market and is also the category with the highest public acceptance.
The charts for new and trending songs on major platforms are almost entirely dominated by love songs.
"How about writing one to test the waters?"
Within seconds, Qin Yi rejected the idea.
He wanted to do something different, something that would give people a refreshing feeling after listening to it.
So he decided to open Weibo and various short video platforms to see if there were any trending topics recently, and maybe he could jump on the bandwagon.
Just to be on the safe side, I also started to imagine the melody of a love song.
If you really don't have any good ideas, you can at least make one song to secure the collaboration.
As soon as I unlocked the screen, I heard my mom's voice in my ear.
His tone was full of worry, probably because the expression on his face was too serious.
"Boss, who called you? Did something happen at work?"
Qin Yi nodded, then shook his head.
"Mom, look at your brows, they're all furrowed up like a rope."
"It's not a bad thing."
"I've been discussing a collaboration with a large company, and I was just thinking about the project."
Just as Li Juan was about to say something, Qin Yi's phone rang again.
He saw the words "Yun Fan" displayed on the phone and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
What day is this? Why is everything happening all at once?
Yun Fan would never call me unless there was something wrong, so there's a 99% chance it's related to Chen Qianyu.
"Hey, Sister Yun, is there something you need?"
Yun Fan cut to the chase and asked, "Is Qi Qi with you?"
Where are you two now?
Seemingly anticipating Qin Yi's question, she began to explain in advance.
"The company suddenly decided to hold an album release conference."
"Her phone is switched off, and I can't reach her."
Qin Yi asked in confusion, "Sister Yun, wasn't she supposed to be on three-day leave?"
"How can you just start working like this?"
Yun Fan paused for a moment.
"Haven't you been checking online these past few days?"
"Look for yourself what's trending at number one."
"Also, where are you two right now? The press conference is the day after tomorrow, will you be able to make it back in time?"
Qin Yi was momentarily taken aback when he heard that Chen Qianyu was trending at number one on the hot search again.
The new album hasn't been officially released yet, so what's causing this?
He gave a brief reply saying that the two were in their hometown and could make it back, then hung up the phone and opened Weibo.
His gaze went straight to the trending topics list, and the seven big characters on the list left Qin Yi dumbfounded.
"Sweet Princess, Chen Xiran?"
"What...what's going on?"
Clicking on these words and following the tags to the source revealed that Tianxing Entertainment had released another pre-release track.
The song is "Love You," and the music video was also released simultaneously.
When Chen Xiran debuted, she was already known for her cute image. Although her song "Courage" was popular, most of the popularity came from casual listeners.
Although fans like it, they aren't particularly enthusiastic about it.
Qin Yi made some changes to the MV, making it even sweeter.
It was precisely these changes that made "Love You" immediately attract enthusiastic attention from fans after its release.
Various merchandise items were snapped up, and many fans even bought more than a dozen and posted them online.
"No wonder they had to hold a press conference."
"So that's why."
Qin Yi was playing music out loud, and the cheerful rhythm drew Li Juan's attention.
At first, she only thought that Chen Qianyu sang really well and that her outfit in the video was much better than yesterday's.
But as she looked around, she suddenly spotted a familiar silhouette.
She snatched the phone and rewound the video. Even though only half of his face was visible in the video, she recognized him immediately – it was her son.
"Boss, what are you doing in here?"
Qin Yi didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he could only speak vaguely.
"A cameo appearance...a cameo appearance."
Actually, when filming the music video, Tianxing Entertainment wanted to add a male lead to it.
The lead actor was chosen from members of the company's boy band.
Seeing that they were still up to no good, Qin Yi immediately rejected the proposal.
Yun Fan also stood up and said that it's not appropriate to promote a romantic relationship now, and that she should focus on developing her solo career.
Actually, it's good that this music video has a male lead; otherwise, without a central figure, the theme of the song would seem rather empty.
Qin Yi had considered this point when designing the project, but his personal reasons led him to abandon the idea of having a male lead.
As the conversation went on, it inexplicably turned into Qin Yi playing the male lead in the film.
Tianxing doesn't want to upset Chen Xiran right now, since the amount of attention she brings is currently the largest in the entire company.
Qin Yi feigned reluctance to participate, using the excuse that he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
But the people at Tianxing didn't think that way. They thought Qin Yi also had a lot of online traffic, so they might as well take advantage of it.
They came up with a compromise and finalized the decision.
"Looks like the next album will have to lean towards a cute style."
"Let's not rush it, let's wait until the album is released and then see."
Qin Yi specially arranged several different styles for the songs on the album in order to test whether Chen Qianyu could develop in multiple aspects.
She doesn't want to limit herself to one style; she wants to broaden her audience.
With that in mind, he began to browse the Weibo comments about "Courage".
As he scrolled through the pages, a newly trending topic caught his attention.
[The King of Chinese Style Music Fails; the Ending Theme Song is a Mess]
Out of curiosity, Qin Yi clicked in and listened to it several times.
It's not quite a lump, but it definitely doesn't match the style of this comic.
The main reason for the controversy was the clever little touches in the lyrics.
The comic series is a fantasy-themed work adapted from a novel.
The story revolves around two male protagonists from vastly different backgrounds who embark on drastically different paths in pursuit of the same goal.
Although the two were kindred spirits, their differing beliefs ultimately led them to turn against each other.
Faced with such a story.
The lyrics, however, are written about love, and the subtle hints of BL (Boys' Love) make them completely unacceptable to the audience.
The animation's production team also rushed to conduct public relations efforts, even explicitly stating through official channels that they were looking for a suitable ending theme song.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yi instantly had an idea.
Could I perhaps capitalize on the "traditional Chinese style" trend?
He paused, and the car came to a stop.
Not long after, a petite figure stepped into the car, her first words filled with surprise.
"Dad, did you win the lottery?"
"Mom, you actually let Dad buy a car?"
She turned to look at Qin Yi, but before she could say anything, her schoolbag was snatched from her hand.
Seeing him take out paper and pen and start writing, Qin Wangwang curiously leaned over to his side.
"Bro, are you writing songs again?"
Qin Wangwang was a member of the school's music club, so he could naturally read some simple sheet music.
Upon hearing that her son was writing a song, Li Juan's face immediately hardened.
"Second brother, stop asking so many questions."
"Go sit in the front, don't disturb your brother's work."
Li Juan wanted to ask her how her exam went today.
But thinking that asking such a question might put pressure on the little girl, he swallowed his words.
After sending the two children home, Qin Yi went straight to his room.
More than an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Qin Wangwang thought her parents had forgotten their keys, but when she opened the door, she was surprised and asked a question.
"Excuse me, ma'am, did you come to the wrong door?"
