Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Planck agreed with Ying's words, nodding and saying, "If it's this song, it certainly has a fighting chance."

She stared at Bai Qianqu for a moment, then suddenly said, "In a few years, try to promote a King or Queen of Singers. It's best to do it early, as it will become increasingly difficult later."

Upon hearing this, Yingmei's manager's eyes widened immediately.

Judging from what Planck said, he clearly regarded Qu Yin as the future god of music!

Although many people believe that Qu Yin has the ability of an A-level composer, no one has ever thought of her as a "God of Music". After all, even S-level composers are extremely rare, and the God of Music is an unattainable dream.

While it's possible to reach S-class status through sheer skill, becoming a "God of Songs" requires not only formidable strength but also a significant element of luck.

Like Planck, she is one of those who are not very lucky. Her strength is definitely no weaker than that of a typical God of Music, but she just hasn't succeeded in breaking through and is still stuck at S-class.

Since her last failure, Planck has not made another attempt, perhaps because she feels indifferent and doesn't seem to care much about the title of "Queen of Music".

Perhaps feeling it was too far away, Bai Qianqu simply nodded after hearing Planck's words.

If you want to cultivate a king or queen of singers, you need to at least make one singer reach the S-level.

Of all the singers he knew, the highest-ranked was Rosalyn, but she was only at the B level.

Yingmei only debuted at the C level.

Aiming too high is not a good thing; only by being down-to-earth can we move forward steadily.

After the recording was finished, things were much easier to handle. Yingmei continued practicing the song "Aurora." Although the final product had been recorded, she still needed to perform on stage at the Spring Festival Gala. To perform well on stage, she needed to practice a lot.

This is what is meant by "one minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage".

Nothing that is necessary can be missing.

After saying goodbye to Yingmei and Planck, Bai Qianqu returned to her office and stretched lazily in her comfortable office chair.

Now that he has finally finished all the chores, he can finally focus on drawing comics.

But it's definitely not appropriate to paint in the office, and it's not very suitable to hire an assistant to paint at home later.

"Looks like it's time to rent a place to use as a studio."

He discovered that many composers in the surrounding area had private offices and never came to the company, and no one cared about them.

Does it matter whether I come to work or not?

With that in mind, he decided to contact Bronya and also tell her about the Spring Festival Gala.

When Bronya found out about this, she was speechless.

Planck has actually requested to withdraw from this year's Spring Festival Gala!

Admittedly, the company's requirements are indeed important, but Planck's wishes are even more important. Now that Planck himself is requesting a replacement, the company cannot refuse.

However, Bronya also gained a new understanding of Bai Qianqu's ability to cause trouble.

Planck had just returned, and this guy had already taken over the rights to compose the Spring Festival Gala song for Ying. I don't know what kind of spell he cast on Planck.

It's important to know that although Planck seems easy to talk to, she is known for her stubbornness. Once she has made up her mind about something, no one can change it.

Besides, is it really that easy to get on the Spring Festival Gala?

If things are done well, everyone will be happy.

But if you don't do it well, you're very likely to be criticized by people all over the world.

There was once a Spring Festival Gala skit called "Making Dumplings," which was terrible from beginning to end. Even now, so many years later, it is still brought up from time to time to make fun of it. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is infamous for all time.

Bronya rubbed her forehead, feeling a terrible headache, but she didn't say anything.

After all, compared to the drawbacks, the benefits of participating in the Spring Festival Gala are far greater.

The fame gained from a successful performance on the Spring Festival Gala is beyond imagination, which is why so many people are desperate to participate.

The Spring Festival Gala is a double-edged sword; if used well, the benefits are immense, since opportunities to have official performance backgrounds are rare!

The weighing of pros and cons is Bai Qianqu's own business, and Bronya can't interfere casually. She can only explain the advantages and disadvantages to him and see how he chooses.

After listening to Bronya's analysis, Bai Qianqu made a decision after only a moment's thought.

Keep participating!

He's not timid or hesitant by nature!

Seeing that Bai Qianqu had made her final choice, Bronya nodded in support.

"Since Professor Planck has voluntarily withdrawn, then you should go and give it your all. Opportunities to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage are rare. As long as you perform well and don't cause any trouble, this will be a great opportunity to enhance your resume and leave a lasting mark on your future career."

"Let me tell you some things to keep in mind when participating in the Spring Festival Gala, so you don't accidentally step on a landmine."

Next, Bronya listed many precautions, which made Bai Qianqu's head spin.

He quickly said, "You can tell Ying about these rules later. I'm not going to the scene."

"You're not going?" Bronya was quite surprised. "It would be so much better to go live. Many people want to go but can't."

Bai Qianqu shook her head repeatedly: "No, no. There are so many people, what's the point of going? I'd rather stay home."

“Alright then.” Bronya had no choice but to agree. “I’ll talk to the production team about these things for you later.”

Chapter 196 Another Path

She then remembered something and said with a smile, "Oh right, the B-level composer application I made for you has been approved. Sign the contract tomorrow, and you'll officially become a B-level composer. Congratulations."

Hearing this, Bai Qianqu was also very happy, as she was finally about to level up.

"Reaching Grade B means you've become a somewhat well-known creator in the music industry. You should work hard in the future and strive to reach Grade A as soon as possible! Only then can you truly enter the hall of art."

Bai Qianqu nodded slightly as she listened to Bronya's encouraging words.

To become an A-level composer, you need ten songs with over ten million downloads.

Currently, "The Wind Rises," "Fleet of Time," "The Viral Factor," and "Keep Walking in the Rain" have all exceeded 10 million downloads, and "My Sky" is also approaching 10 million downloads. Breaking this mark is only a matter of time.

Now he has five songs that meet the requirements, and he only needs to release five more.

Bai Qianqu is full of confidence. As long as everything goes smoothly, he will become an A-level composer next year!

He mentally encouraged himself: 'Come on! Strive to reach Grade A within a year and a half!'

If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably be petrified on the spot.

Becoming an A-rank in just one and a half years is something even Eden couldn't achieve back then. It took Eden a full two years to go from his debut to A-rank.

Even though it was only a little over two years, it caused quite a stir at the time, and he became the fastest and youngest A-level composer.

He remembered what Planck had told him before, and asked Bronya with some curiosity, "Bronya, Planck just told me to quickly promote a King or Queen of Singers to compete for the title of God of Songs, and that it will become increasingly difficult to become the God of Songs in the future. Why is that?"

Bronya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Professor Planck actually told you all this? It seems she thinks highly of you. To become the God of Songs, besides becoming an S-class composer, you also need to write songs to help a singer become the King of Singers. Only then are you qualified to be nominated for the God of Songs of the year. You should already know all this, so I won't go into details."

Bronya said mysteriously, "The reason why it will become more and more difficult in the future is because a message came from above that in the future, if you want to become the God of Songs, you will need to cultivate a King of Songs and a Queen of Songs, which directly doubles the difficulty!"

Bai Qianqu:

What kind of cool operation is this?

One becomes two? That increases the difficulty way too much!

Bronya was also helpless: "There's nothing we can do, that's the requirement from above, and nobody can change it. But right now it's just a rumor, and I'm not sure if it's true, but it's definitely the right thing to do to try and become a God of Music as soon as possible."

Bai Qianqu pointed to herself: "I'm only a B-level."

Bronya: "It seems so."

The two looked at each other, realizing that talking about the song god with a B-level artist was indeed a bit abstract.

"Anyway, Professor Planck thinks highly of you, so just keep up the good work!" Bronya comforted her. "Actually, there's another way to become a Music God. With that method, you don't even need anyone to judge you; you can become a Music God directly. But because it's too difficult, that method is basically never used."

Bai Qianqu became interested: "What method?"

"Number one on the new song chart for twelve consecutive months, including the battle of the gods."

Bai Qianqu:

Sorry to bother you, goodbye.

Number one for twelve consecutive months—that's fucking amazing!

Is this something a human could do?

No wonder they say you can become a god without needing anyone to vote for you. If you've achieved that, what else could you be but a god?

Bai Qianqu even doubted whether anyone had ever succeeded with this method.

Bronya noticed the doubt in Bai Qianqu's eyes and said, "Someone has succeeded before."

Bai Qianqu's eyes widened: "Really? Did that person eventually become the God of Music?"

"Of course, but she didn't become the God of Music in this way. She accomplished this feat after becoming the God of Music."

"You've heard of this person too, that's right, it's Eden."

"Before her, no one had ever been able to set a record of being number one on the new song chart for twelve consecutive months. So, to commemorate this, the official organization set up this channel to become a song god."

"However, you know how difficult it is. For twelve consecutive months, including the war between the major and minor gods, no one has succeeded since Eden."

Bronya was just joking, but when she saw Bai Qianqu looking thoughtful, she couldn't help but gasp, and an absurd idea popped into her head.

Is this guy seriously considering the path to godhood?

She was startled and quickly shook her head, trying to dismiss the absurd idea.

The reason Eden was able to do it is because he was God.

Can mortals do what gods can do?

Is it so easy to top the new song chart? Who can stay at number one for a long time?

Bronya thought of this and suddenly fell silent.

It seems that Bai Qianqu has been at the top of the new song chart for several months in a row?

Aside from the Battle of the Lesser Gods, they consistently ranked first in the other months. In the Battle of the Lesser Gods, they almost took first place; if it weren't for the time limit, they would have secured first place that time as well.

Could this guy really accomplish something so incredible?

Is this terrifying?

Just as Bronya thought, Bai Qianqu was indeed thinking about this. If it were an ordinary person, achieving a twelve-game winning streak would be a pipe dream, but he was different. He had the entire civilization of Earth behind him. In the long and ancient history of mankind, there were too many brilliant songs and music. Twelve months and twelve songs were just a matter of time. As long as he was determined, he could bring out all the top global hits and take the top spot on twelve charts. It was not impossible!
