New Century Anime Warrior

Although Pan Lei's main job is to be responsible for the brokerage and copyright aspects of the entire Nanlin Group, which is more focused on the personnel management of artistic talents and legal work related to their works.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand music.

If she really didn't understand, she wouldn't be holding the position of general manager of Linzhong Luming.

So she is very shocked now.

She underestimated Si Hua's talent in music composition...

She was already quite surprised by the English song "Throuh the Years and Far Away" and the Mandarin song "Crossroads".

They concluded that this child possessed the talent of a composer and a lyricist.

I never expected that today I would pull out two songs with three versions of lyrics, in Mandarin, English, and Cantonese, all of them.

Moreover, one of these two songs is a pop song that perfectly fits the mainstream Chinese music market, while the other, an English song, as Lin Lin said, truly has an international feel...

Moreover, this English song also has a Cantonese version.

Pan Lei now desperately wants to drag Lin Lin to record a song.

This girl is destined for great things.

However, no matter how urgent the matter is, we must not forget the important thing: we need to settle the copyright issue first.

Si Hua trusted him, and he had long regarded this kid as a nephew, especially considering his relationship with Lin Lin...

"How do you plan to arrange these two songs?"

Si Hua, with an indifferent expression, was now lounging on the sofa in her office in a relaxed, sprawling position.

"The copyright of 'Light Years Away' was sold directly to Deer in the Forest, just consider it a high-quality pop song... Of course, in the promotion, we should still mention that it's an Easter egg from 'Voices of a Distant Star'."

"An Easter egg?" Pan Lei didn't understand.

But Lin Lin clapped her hands, and she finally understood why Si Hua had said the song title was hidden in "Voice of a Star".

Oh, it appeared in the special thanks section at the end of the film! (Chapter 33)

Okay, so you've been hiding it all this time, haven't you?

Being your fan is truly a blessing.

"Yes, this song was actually a backup theme song for 'Voices of a Distant Star,' but it didn't fit the overall feel of the story, so it wasn't used."

Si Hua casually explained, "The emotions expressed in 'Light Years Away' are too mature and too intense."

Pan Lei nodded, accepting this explanation.

Both the lyrics and the music of "Light Years Away" are more in line with the mainstream Chinese music scene today, rather than an anime song.

At the same time, this song demands a much higher level of vocal skill than the two background music theme songs, and it also better showcases Lin Lin's talent and abilities.

The emotions conveyed in the lyrics and music are also very rich.

It is indeed very suitable as a debut song.

"As for the song 'I Really Want to Stay At Your House,' it's the theme song I left for the game," Si Hua continued, explaining the arrangement of the two songs.

"We'll do the same thing as with the theme song for 'Voices of a Distant Star'—we won't sell the copyright."

This arrangement was basically the answer Pan Lei had anticipated.

but……

The more Pan Lei looked at it, the more she felt that it was a real pity to let this kid fly around so carelessly.

"Why don't you sign with Lin Lin and sign with Lin Zhong Lu Ming too?"

"what?"

"You're just a signed songwriter. Your voice isn't even good enough to be a karaoke hog, and you want to debut as a singer?"

Pan Lei realized that Si Hua had misunderstood and thought he wanted him to become a singer.

"Hehe, that's true." Si Hua knew he had misunderstood, but he still voiced his doubts.

"However, won't Mr. Chen have any objections to signing the contract?"

"After all, he represents Universal Music..."

Pan Lei interrupted Si Hua's concerns impatiently: "Nanlin Media is also the organizer of the original audiovisual competition."

"Is there a problem with you signing with a music company under the Nanlin Group?"

"Besides, Chen Yan valued your top-notch audio-visual abilities, not your music composition abilities."

"Most importantly, Universal Music China is preparing to exchange a symbolic share with Deer in the Forest, which means they'll be family now..."

Holy crap, is it really that exciting?

Si Hua was genuinely shocked by this news. He had heard that the two companies were pursuing a strategic partnership, but he never expected it to have progressed to the point where their subsidiaries were so intertwined.

It seems that Global Greater China has really been suppressed quite a bit by the pan-Asian group at the Asia Pacific headquarters.

It was far more intense than I had imagined.

"Then I'm fine with it, go ahead and sign it. Anyway, Aunt Lei won't shortchange me on this little bit of pocket money, hehe."

Lin Lin, however, seemed to have her own ideas.

"Are you really not planning to debut in a group with me? The name Linlin Qihua is so beautiful..."

???

Okay, so you came up with the CP name yourself!

You vixen, not only do you want to disturb my Dao heart, but you also plan to ride me?

-----------------

In August 2006, during the summer vacation for students, a large number of young people suddenly flooded into both the film and entertainment industry and traditional service industries such as catering and tourism.

With the support of the student community, the news of Lin Lin's official debut became the most explosive news this month.

Of course, it's not enough to just say someone is debuting to officially debut; the entertainment industry has a fairly formal process for singers to debut.

Therefore, there has been a sudden surge in "insider" accounts on several mainstream platforms recently.

These people suddenly revived the popularity of the short films "Voices of a Distant Star" and "Crossroads" on ACG-related platforms.

At the same time, the topic was steered towards college admissions in the field of people's livelihood news.

The period from late July to early August is when universities issue admission notices, and news about university admissions naturally occupies a significant amount of public resources.

The unique educational focus of East Asians.

Si Hua thus gained a little exposure once again, because he successfully passed the entrance exam for the School of International Communication, and he was admitted through a special admission program with a score 20 points above the key university admission line.

The most talked-about aspect was the revelation that he only scored 236 points in his second year of high school final exams.

In less than a year, he went from 236 points to 20 points above the key university admission line, an improvement of several hundred points, even after spending a lot of time producing two excellent animated short films.

What's this called, family?

That's called being stubborn... Pshaw!

This is what happens when the whole world looks down on you, but you're the most determined one!

For a time, many parents used Si Hua's story to manipulate their children.

"Look at that high school student who makes animation. He also loves these wasteful things, but he not only gets on CCTV, but he also improves his scores by several hundred points a year and gets into a top university... And you?!"

Some educational institutions use Si Hua (a type of academic achievement) to encourage students, and some language teachers are even designing essay arguments about Si Hua's achievements so that students can memorize them as writing material.

It's outrageous.

On the other hand, with the help of certain individuals, a news story related to Si Hua made it to the front page of many portal websites.

Regarding Lin Lin, the stunningly beautiful singer who is the go-to singer for the audiovisual genius Si Hua, even when filmed directly by CCTV cameras without any problem...

She actually got into Tsinghua and Peking Universities, which really shocked everyone who follows the college entrance examination news.

Please, this is Tsinghua and Peking University!

No matter when, the connection between top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities and singers in the entertainment industry is always a huge topic!

She is good-looking, has excellent grades, and sings very well.

Did God not prepare doors and windows for her at all?

They just tore the house down?

In no time, screenshots of Lin Lin's appearance on CCTV went viral on various online communities and social media groups.

Si Hua's Weibo private messages were bombarded to the extreme by some envious and jealous passersby.

Just as the hype was at its peak, Lin Lin's debut song was officially released simultaneously on multiple platforms such as Weibo, Bilibili, and QQ Music.

@AnimeExpertLinlinda: "Hello everyone, this is Linlin, I've debuted! Welcome to listen to my new song 'Light Years Away'!"

The copywriting is simple, and it's also simply accompanied by a studio music video.

In the music video, Lin Lin, with her hair in a high ponytail, stands quite relaxed in what looks like a very professional recording studio.

She stood tall and graceful in a white shirt, pleated skirt, and white sneakers.

She was surrounded by a whole band, all foreigners dressed in a very artistic style... Only Lin Lin was of Asian descent and dressed simply.

It immediately brought out her fresh and refined temperament.

Lin Lin nodded gracefully to the band members, indicating that she was ready.

After a close-up shot of a man closing his eyes and gathering emotion, music recorded live from a top-tier recording studio filled the ears of all viewers.

At this point, a simple yet well-designed title appears in the music video.

Light Years Away
