On August 20, the People's Court of Jing'an District of Shanghai sentenced Song to 14 years in prison and a fine of 600,000 yuan in the case of "Rashomon" fraud involving Yiyan Qianxi endorsement advertising. A cosmetics company commissioned Song to "sign" Yi Xianqianxi as the new advertising spokesperson based on the previous partnership. Song showed the contract signed between his company and Yiyang Qianxi's affiliated company, stipulating that he would be responsible for the endorsement matters. Subsequently, the cosmetics company put 16.96 million yuan in endorsement fees into Song's account, and Song asked the cosmetics company for more than 6 million yuan in the name of filming fees. In October 2018, the cosmetics company released a silhouette photo on the Tmall flagship and said "Guess who the new spokesperson is". Fans quickly guessed that the silhouette was Yi Yang Qianxi. The next day, Yiyang Qianxi Studio issued two statements stating that it had never signed an endorsement agreement. After the cosmetics company called the police, Song was arrested on suspicion of fraud.
