A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 201: Theme Song

The buzz around the annual charts was far greater than for the monthly ones.

On the morning of January 1st, all the trending topics were about the final results of the popularity charts.

#Federation Defeats Empire Again, Securing a Larger Share of Purchasable Resources!#

#Will the Music Scene Be the Federation’s Next Big Breakthrough?#

#Jiang Qin Wins the Federation a Share of Restricted Resources Again With Her Songwriting. Should She Be Rewarded?#

#Beacons of the Music World: Jiang Qin & Cang Hong#

In addition to these, there were promotional topics for movies premiering and TV shows airing today.

The entire news section of the Star Network was dominated by entertainment today.

After waking up, Yun Xie and the others prepared breakfast. Now, all five of them were at the dining table, eating and browsing the Star Network.

"The Federation will probably issue a reward. They’ll likely send an email notification, so Qinqin, you should keep an eye out for it."

Jiang Qin was a little surprised. "There’s actually a reward?"

Lan Yuyan nodded, his voice gentle. "After all, this is the second time you’ve beaten the Empire. Regardless, the higher-ups will offer some kind of benefit. But since you weren’t the one who sang the song this time, the reward will likely be split."

Cang Hong, sitting beside him, quickly chimed in, "My reward is yours!"

Jiang Qin wanted to refuse but was afraid he would think she wasn’t accepting him.

After all, when a male was willing to hand over his private savings, it meant he viewed her as his female master. If the female master refused, he would feel that she didn’t consider him family.

That’s right. This was how Interstellar males thought.

At first, she hadn’t wanted to accept Yun Xie’s and the others’ assets, which had made them upset. They felt she was trying to keep their lives separate...

So now she understood. ’I can decide what to do with it later in private, but I can’t say no to his face.’

So she turned and asked, "What will the reward likely be? Prize money?"

’If it is, then there’s not much to look forward to.’ After all, the one thing she wasn’t short on right now was Star Coins.

While she wasn’t rich enough to buy a planet, she was already financially secure.

"It should be more than just Star Coins. We at Tianwen will probably get some resources. As for you two, besides Star Coins, there should also be some rare prizes. For example, potions, a new model of Flying Car, or even real estate."

’That’s not bad either.’

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Qin heard her inbox chime.

Federation officials could, of course, find her personal email address, whereas everyone else usually sent messages to her work email.

She read the email’s contents aloud. It was mostly a string of compliments, followed by a request for an exclusive interview where they would present her with the award.

This was understandable. It was an award presentation, after all; they probably wanted to publicize it to inspire the public.

’If that’s the case, the reward is bound to be substantial,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, it wouldn’t serve as a very good example.’ 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

On the first day of the new year, while everyone else was out having fun, the cast and crew on the set of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* were still working overtime to film.

Although Jiang Qin really wanted to have fun today too, she had a mission to complete: recording the theme song for *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* with Cang Hong.

The song, "Iron Blooded Red Heart," was extremely difficult to sing, so she had to set aside enough time to practice.

Even she found it challenging, to say nothing of Cang Hong.

The reason they hadn’t prepared earlier was that Cang Hong didn’t know Cantonese, so he had spent the last while learning it.

Now that he had a decent grasp of it, she was ready to give it a try with him.

’To be honest, our vocal timbres aren’t a perfect match for a faithful recreation of this song, but this is a golden opportunity, and I don’t want to hand it over to an outsider.’

She had a feeling *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* would be a hit, and its theme song would be too. After all, it was a timeless classic.

An opportunity this good was one she had to seize for herself.

’Besides, no one in the Interstellar era has ever heard the original. If we sing it, we become the original. People’s first impression will be that our version is the definitive one. As for whether someone else’s cover surpasses ours later on, well, I can’t worry about that now.’

They had a recording studio at home, so she and Cang Hong didn’t go out, practicing there instead.

When the instrumental track began to play, the grand, heroic atmosphere was instantly palpable.

The two of them practiced for the better part of the day, with Yun Xie and Shi Lichuan keeping them company, sitting on the sofa just outside and playing on their Light Computers.

As for Lan Yuyan, he had already gone back to the office to work.

*I Am Not a God* was scheduled for release on January 6th, so he had been extremely busy lately.

He was also busy with another film Tianwen Entertainment had prepared.

Their TV series was set to air during prime time tonight, and their movie had also been released today. For now, its screening schedule in the Main Star’s theaters was decent.

On other planets, however, the situation wasn’t as good, since so many other movies were being released at the same time.

Those planets had to give some preferential treatment to their local entertainment companies.

As a result, this film’s showtimes on other planets were mostly limited to the morning and midday slots.

If they wanted a better screening schedule going forward, it would all depend on today’s box office numbers.

Lan Yuyan had given them a few tickets in advance, and the whole family planned to go see it that evening to show their support.

Even though Jiang Qin had already seen a preview.

...

After practicing for three days, Jiang Qin finally finished recording the theme song.

As for the other insert songs, they had all been recorded by artists under Tianwen Entertainment.

The promotional campaign for *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* had also begun. Its official air date was January 16th, slated to take over the 9 PM to midnight slot on Tianwen Entertainment’s channel right after the current series’ finale.

「In the blink of an eye, it was January 6th.」

*I Am Not a God* officially premiered in all major theaters.

Since the last movie Tianwen Entertainment had prepared had flopped, the entire company was pinning its hopes on this one.

They weren’t asking for the moon, just a box office of at least ten billion or so—enough to beat Four Seas and Star Entertainment.

So, everyone had been busy since early this morning.

The five theaters in Central City had already pre-sold eighty percent of their tickets.

The situation looked extremely promising.

After all, with Jiang Qin’s name attached, there were plenty of fans who would support it unconditionally.

Only a small number of non-fans bought tickets out of curiosity or with the intention of reviewing the film.
