Chapter 387

~6 min read 1,120 words

The title of a song is a very important marker.

If a terrible name is chosen, the audience won't even feel like clicking to listen.

After much thought.

Lan Ying summoned Qin Fang, a super-admin from the Shark Platform.

Very quickly.

Qin Fang knocked on the office door.

Lan Ying said, "Come in."

Qin Fang pushed the door open, stepped inside, and said before Lan Ying, "Boss, you wanted to see me?"

Lan Ying nodded and said, "I heard you are very knowledgeable about astronomy?"

Qin Fang smiled awkwardly, "A little, just a little!"

Lan Ying smiled, "Don't be modest. I asked you here today to ask for a favor."

Qin Fang was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Lan Ying said nothing; instead, she placed a tablet in front of him and opened that video.

Brother Shiguang's singing voice came out from that video.

Listening to the singing, Qin Fang gradually became intoxicated.

As if he were immersed in his own memories.

Very quickly.

The song ended.

Qin Fang felt somewhat reluctant to let it go.

Lan Ying pointed at the tablet and said, "Brother Shiguang's new song doesn't have a name yet. Now, you give it a name."

"Me!?" Qin Fang found it hard to believe his ears.

He knew Brother Shiguang's fame; he was almost exploding across the entire Shark Platform.

He also had a certain degree of fame on other platforms.

Such a person.

The songs he sings.

Are actually going to be named by me?

Qin Fang felt somewhat overwhelmed with honor for a moment.

Lan Ying nodded and smiled, "Just follow your own feelings; don't feel too much burden."

Hearing Lan Ying's words.

Qin Fang took a deep breath.

This was a good opportunity to show himself.

He must seize it!

Then.

Qin Fang began to speak, "Regarding song titles, my suggestion is to find one within the lyrics, but this song's lyrics basically lack any distinctive or decisive elements, so we can only infer."

At this moment, Qin Fang had already thrown himself wholeheartedly into the naming process.

Lan Ying watched Qin Fang with great interest and, incidentally, opened the lyrics interface for him.

This was just transmitted to her by Fang Lan.

Looking at the lyrics on the screen, Qin Fang analyzed, "From his lyrics, I found a very special and extremely core word!"

"Oh?" Lan Ying smiled, "Which word? I've been looking at these lyrics for ages and still can't see a theme."

Qin Fang pointed at the screen and said, "It is 'planet'. Although the lyrics here all speak of unattainable love, if you substitute 'planet' in, you will find that the lyrics here fit the planet very well."

Qin Fang paced back and forth, analyzing, "Words like 'galaxy' and 'trajectory' are also indicating the importance of the planet."

Listening to Qin Fang's analysis, Lan Ying nodded repeatedly.

That's right.

The lyrics here all correspond to "planet".

"Then, the name of this planet is especially important."

Qin Fang thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "It is Mercury!"

"Why?" Lan Ying asked, confused.

Qin Fang smiled, "Because Mercury is the planet closest to the sun, and the lover we love should be the sun in our lives!"

Hearing his explanation, Lan Ying immediately felt there was some merit and thought he was very correct.

"That's right, this planet should refer to Mercury. Here, comparing oneself to Earth would not be appropriate."

Qin Fang also smiled and nodded, "Mercury cannot escape its own orbit, but Mercury is so close to the sun, yet it cannot break free from the bonds, just like a lover right before one's eyes, wanting to touch, but unfortunately, there is no way; love without attainment."

Lan Ying's eyes lit up; if she thought along Qin Fang's train of thought, this explanation made perfect sense.

At the same time.

After Qin Fang's entire analysis, Lan Ying also deeply felt the tragic love contained within this song.

It was truly tear-jerking, leaving people unable to forget it for a long time.

Combined with that moving melody.

This twelfth original song by Brother Shiguang.

Is absolutely a blockbuster!

And very likely the hottest one!

At this moment, Qin Fang's emotions were deeply immersed; he sighed and said, "This is a tragic love story, a lover forever out of reach, just like the distance from Mercury to the sun, which is unattainable. Since it is a story, adding a 'Record' at the end is the most appropriate."

Hearing Lan Ying nodded and said, "Give it a complete name."

Qin Fang stopped walking, thought seriously for a long time, then snapped his fingers and said, "I propose we call it 'Mercury Record'! We're like Mercury, the person we love is the Sun, so very, very close, but we just can't break free from the constraints of those rules, never able to touch it!"

"Good!"

Hearing Lan Ying slammed the table and stood up, overjoyed: "Then it's called 'Mercury Record'!"

Then.

Hearing Lan Ying looked at the beaming Qin Fang, then said, "From now on your salary will be doubled. Go tell the finance department now, just say it's my word—if they don't accept it, they can come talk to me about it!"

Qin Fang immediately beamed with joy: "Thanks, boss! Then I'll head out first!"

Hearing Lan Ying waved her hand: "Go, go!"

The office returned to silence once more.

Hearing Lan Ying lay back in her chair, looked at the screen on the tablet, and murmured, "'Mercury Record,' huh? That really is a good name."

Thinking of this.

Hearing Lan Ying suddenly felt a touch of melancholy again.

"Shiguang, oh Shiguang, what on earth did you go through to be able to write such a heart-wrenching song? It simply strikes deep into the heart, digging out that last little bit of emotion people have hidden in the depths of their souls."

"This must really be agonizing, but the one who could write this song should be the most agonized of all."

Hearing Lan Ying's gaze grew somewhat unfocused, as she kept imagining things in her mind.

"You must have had a girlfriend too, but because of certain reasons, you can't see her anymore."

"Just like Mercury and the Sun."

261. (1/5) The Preparation of Wings of Time!

Douyin.

Wings of Time project lead.

Gu Li.

At this moment.

He was sitting in his office, his expression turned solemn.

"Drip, drip."

The spider plant that had just been watered was now brimming with vitality.

Water drops fell from the pot.

Making a sound.

At this moment, Gu Li's face was lost in thought.

In his hand he tightly gripped a paper report.
