I woke up to find I had gotten my marriage certificate with a female celebrity.

It's better to be lucky than early.

Reality is sometimes more dramatic than stories.

Qin Yi wasn't surprised that Lu Yuan came in person to discuss the contract, since Lu Yuan had already mentioned it beforehand.

However, the people from Shifang Xuanji also came to his door in person, which made him feel flattered.

What's more, people from both sides arrived at their building at the same time.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had planned it together.

At this moment, in Qin Yi's home, a man and a woman were arguing heatedly.

NetEase Cloud Music wants to release the song early for exclusive streaming.

However, Shifang Xuanji wants to promote the product across all platforms and launch it simultaneously on major music platforms.

Leveraging the popularity of the drama series to expand its reach and attracting traffic across all platforms is the only way to truly make this ending theme song a hit.

A silence fell over the room.

On one hand, there's the demand for comprehensive promotion of animated series; on the other hand, there's the exclusive copyright that music platforms are firmly holding onto.

Both sides wanted to secure the greatest benefit for themselves, resulting in a stalemate.

"How about this?" Qin Yi spoke first.

"The version of the end credits song, which is a little over a minute edited version, can be distributed and promoted across all platforms."

"The original audio used in short video clips, behind-the-scenes footage, and plot mashups is not subject to exclusive contracts."

"This will also make it easier for you to promote and attract traffic, without delaying the overall popularity of the animation."

After speaking, Qin Yi looked in Lu Yuan's direction again.

"The full studio recording is exclusively available on NetEase Cloud Music."

"If viewers want to search for songs after watching, they will be directly directed to NetEase Cloud Music."

"Cloud Music can also cooperate with the promotion to acquire traffic."

Seeing that the two were about to speak at the same time, Qin Yi raised his hand to interrupt them.

"I know what you're each worried about."

"We'll release the edited version first. If the show is well-received and there are no negative reports, then we'll release the full version."

"What do you two think?"

The proposal immediately appealed to both sides.

The core objective of Shifang Xuanji is to promote animation.

They don't need the full version of the song; what they need is for viewers to easily find content related to the animation after watching it.

The edited version is enough for them.

What NetEase Cloud Music wants is simple: the more data traffic, the better.

This move not only preserves the platform's core revenue but also leverages the traffic generated by animation to attract a large audience to the platform.

Killing two birds with one stone, achieving two goals at once.

There was no trace of hostility on their faces anymore; they were smiling as if they were meeting relatives.

The contracts were successfully signed, including not only with Qin Yi, but also with the cooperation plans of both platforms.

For example, the full lyrics cannot be released in advance, and the chorus cannot be shown more than twice in the edited version, and so on.

For the next two days, Qin Yi was constantly busy.

First came the complete arrangement and recording of the song, which was almost a finished product in a single day.

His home equipment was still not good enough, so he drove to a music studio that specialized in recording to get it done.

Then there's the registration of original authors on NetEase Cloud Music.

Filling out all sorts of forms gave him a headache, and he even considered hiring an assistant.

The staff at Shifang Xuanji were equally busy.

Many completed scenes had to be scrapped and re-done, and the storyboards for the song's inserts also needed to be redesigned.

They thought working overtime would be painful, but while listening to the new song, they suddenly forgot about the end of the workday and couldn't stop working.

The animation was completed two days ahead of schedule, exceeding everyone's expectations.

When the producer reviewed the finished product of the new episode, he couldn't help but frown.

Is it well-made?

Very high!

The storyboard and pacing are almost flawless.

But as he looked at it, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

This isn't just an anime ending theme; it's like an entire episode was made just for this song.

Within the Ten Directions Mystery organization, everyone who heard this song became a fan of Qin Yi, without exception.

Many internal employees also tried to use connections to hear the full version of the song in advance.

Unfortunately, they all received the same message: the full version would not be released until after the animation was released.

That means they have to hold out for another two days.

During this anxious wait, there were still five minutes left until 7 p.m.

At the same time, discussions on Weibo and other platforms have become heated.

There was very little discussion about the plot; most people were just there to laugh at the joke.

Many fans were also disappointed and kept cursing on Weibo, wondering why they had chosen such a terrible song.

People kept refreshing the page with "Blue Copper Anime".

Some people even suggested that if the male lead just bent over and had sex, the ending would be over immediately.

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Actually, the plot of the animation is quite good; he watched the entire first season last night.

I've read a bit of the original novel, but it's just too wordy.

The entire article was over ten million words long, and Qin Yi's head was buzzing from reading it.

At 7 o'clock sharp, countless people instantly began refreshing the page.

As the saying goes, one negative comment is worth ten positive ones; the refresh rate was so fast that it crashed the webpage.

The website took two or three minutes to load before it started playing normally.

This group of people didn't pay any attention to the plot; they simply dragged the progress bar to the end and headed straight for the end credits song.

"Killing ten people could save hundreds or thousands. If you were in that situation, would you kill them or not?"

The intro and the dialogue started playing at the same time; their slanderous remarks were already prepared, just waiting to point out the incongruity of the music.

The moon hangs low over the river, rippling its autumn waves; a boat full of sweet dreams presses down on the Milky Way.

[But there are only night geese, and no one to sing their mournful songs.]

[I carved a zither from a paulownia tree to admire the mountain scenery, when suddenly I heard a long song.]

Fishermen and woodcutters returning home at night, their raincoats damp with dew.

As the melody continued, they suddenly realized...

Isn't this song... a little too good?

Bai Zi was shocked.

Hei Zi was dumbfounded.

Chuanzi was stunned.

The soothing prelude interweaves the protagonists' past, with heartwarming scenes from their childhood constantly appearing before the audience's eyes.

There were two children sitting back to back on the roof.

Looking up at the starry sky, they spoke of their wishes after becoming immortals.

The music suddenly stopped, startling all the audience members.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yi's singing voice rose up along with the protagonist's answer.

It was clearly a high-pitched voice and an extremely fast rhythm.

However, when the song is combined with the visuals, it is filled with sorrow and helplessness.

We were companions in our youth, and traveled together under the stars and moon.

It is rare to find even one true friend in a lifetime.

In this vast world, all my former confidants have scattered to the wind.

The feeling of oppression was stuck in my chest, making me want to scream it out.

Only the bright moon remains to recall the past; warming wine, I gather with kindred spirits.

How many people in this world truly understand me?

[The three-foot-long zither is shattered, as if its strings have broken and a heart is broken with sorrow.]

Alone, I roam the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

The song and visuals blend perfectly, with the musical style and artistic conception being exactly the same.

As the chorus ended and the flute music faded, many people remained immersed in the song, unable to tear themselves away.

"It's over? How could it be over already?"

"No, this song is wrong, I want to listen to it again."

Many people are no longer satisfied with just a snippet of the song and have started searching for the full version online.

On Weibo, the hashtag #TenDirectionsMysteryEndingThemeSong# is clearly climbing upwards.

The previous negative news has vanished, replaced by nothing but praise.

The official team at NetEase Cloud Music had already made preparations, and top-tier traffic immediately pushed the song to the most prominent position on the homepage.

Many singers who released songs today were dumbfounded, wondering where this "connected person" came from.

When the singers saw that the composer was Qin Yi, they almost all regretted it.

Why did I have to run into Qin Yi of all people? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

While feeling regretful, envy was undeniably written all over their faces.

I envy that singer who is so lucky to get a song by Qin Yi.

My own company has extended so many offers, but they all seem to disappear into thin air.

In fact, Qin Yi's fame had already spread in the industry, but he himself was unaware of it.

When they saw that the singer was also Qin Yi, they were shocked.

The arrangement quality is top-notch as always, and the various singing techniques are also used very well.

It's so good that it doesn't even make people jealous of its popularity.

"Is she going to debut as an independent singer?"

"Seriously, Teacher Qin, are you trying to kill us all?"
