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

One cup to freedom, one cup to death. (Looking back in old age)

Eight cups of wine perfectly encapsulate a person's life.

I listened to this song on repeat all day. I don't know what I understood, but every time I listened to it, I wanted to cry.

Although I've never believed in the idea of ​​mountains and rivers lasting forever, life is too short to dwell on the past.

Every sentence is a soul-searching question.

[From now on, who dares to say that Qu Yin's emotions in songwriting are faked?! You try faking it for me!]

[Perhaps it's related to my personal experience, but I feel like there are some things I can't understand or hear.]

[The above, I hope you never understand it, because when you do, you will truly become a part of the song.]

Netizens were in an uproar, while the singers remained silent.

They witnessed the terrifying power of Qu Yin once again, and felt deeply ashamed of their previous doubts about it.

Qu Yin was Qu Yin; his terror was undiminished. He got everyone drunk with eight cups of wine and carried them away.

Envy? Jealousy? Hatred?

At this moment, with the appearance of this song, everything vanished, and no one had even the slightest thought of resistance or resentment.

There's no way to find fault with this song; both the lyrics and the music are impeccable.

How are we supposed to fight like this?

It's like you've just left the beginner village dressed in plain clothes and carrying a wooden stick, and everyone else is already wielding a Maxim machine gun.

They could only obediently kneel down and sing "Conquer".

A good song requires a catchy melody. As long as the melody is catchy enough, it will always have an audience. This is why many people like to listen to English songs, because the melodies of those English songs are indeed very good.

However, for truly top-tier songs, in addition to melody, lyrics are even more important. If the lyrics of a song can touch the hearts of the listeners, then it is enough to be considered a masterpiece.

This is why some songs only stay popular for a short time, while others remain popular for decades.

The melody is the external aspect of a song, while the lyrics are its internal aspect. Only songs that excel in both can be called classics.

Clearly, "Sorrow" is a song that combines both inner and outer beauty.

The simple melody seems to possess a magical power, vividly depicting the ordinary yet unsatisfactory lives of ordinary people.

Why does this song so easily silence so many people?

It's because they saw a reflection of themselves in this song, as if the song was describing their own lives.

Simply put, this song evoked empathy in many listeners.

Of course, as a slightly heavy song, it is related to life experience, and not everyone can empathize with it.

Some discerning listeners felt that the melody of Qu Yin's new song was too flat and lacked variation.

However, this did not affect the song's popularity; it received widespread acclaim within just a few days of its release.

The ranking of "Xiaochou" quickly rose to the top ten, then the top five, and finally the top three.

The singers looked at the rankings with a pained expression, but secretly they were overjoyed.

Thankfully, I didn't release any songs this month, otherwise my chrysanthemums would have been tormented again.

The Spring Festival Gala production team in Changkong City was also taken aback when they received the message from Bronya.

One of the staff members looked puzzled: "What's going on with Anti-Entropy? Didn't they say that the song for the winner of this year's new singer competition was written by Professor Planck? Why are they changing the singer now?"

Another staff member asked, "They changed people? Is there someone better than Planck? Could it be Professor Walter?"

"No, it was a composer named Qu Yin who was replaced."

"A melodious tune?!"

Upon hearing the name, the people around turned to look, startling the employee.

"Why are you all so agitated? I think this composer is only a B-level musician."

The surrounding colleagues were speechless. "You don't even know Qu Yin? He's a very famous composer recently. I'd conservatively estimate that he has A-level composing skills. He's more than capable of writing songs for a new singer. Besides, he also wrote the winning song for this year's new singer competition. It's normal for him to take over the role of Anti-Entropy, after all, the two have had successful collaboration experience."

"Wow, I've only been away from the music scene for a few months, and already such an amazing person has emerged?"

Chapter 199 Rational Judgment

"He's not just amazing, he's practically defying the heavens! Since his debut, apart from getting second place in the Little Gods Battle, he's been number one on the new song charts every month!"

"Hiss?! It's that terrifying?"

The staff member looked at the computer and said, "The other party has already sent over the recorded demos of the songs for this performance."

Everyone became interested: "Which song is it? Is it Ying's hit song 'Keep Walking in the Rain'?"

The employee looked at the computer, shook his head, and said, "It's not 'Keep Walking in the Rain,' but a song called 'Aurora.'"

Everyone looked at each other.

Aurora?

This name is strange, and I've never heard of this song before. Could it be a new song?

Everyone crowded around: "Open it and listen!"

As the demo recording began, music filled the speakers, with bass, piano, and guitar interspersed, accompanied by gentle violin sounds. The soothing intro made several staff members nod in agreement.

Then Yingmei's unique voice filled the small office, and everyone temporarily stopped what they were doing and listened quietly until the song ended.

When the song ended, everyone looked at each other again, their eyes filled with undisguised shock and excitement.

"If this song could appear on our Changkong Spring Festival Gala stage, it would definitely cause a sensation!"

"Definitely! It might even attract a large number of viewers to our show! You know, there are a lot of people who like music, so our ratings will definitely increase significantly!"

"I heard you guys say this piece of music was amazing, and I thought you were exaggerating. But it seems you were being too conservative! This isn't just amazing; it's downright monstrous!"

"Quickly submit this song to the review department for approval! If there are no problems, add it to the program schedule as soon as possible! This song is very important; we need to use it as a trump card!"

And just like that, Yingmei's song passed the program team's review in less than half a day and was directly included in the program list, and in the middle section, which was exactly the climax of the entire program, when the audience was at its largest.

Yingmei was naturally delighted to see her song placed in such a prominent position and immediately shared the good news with Quyin.

"As expected, as long as I cling to Teacher Qu Yin's coattails, everything will be solved! I don't need to worry about anything at all, I can just lie down and relax!"

Yingmei quickly posted a message on her Weibo account, announcing that she would be participating in the Changkong Spring Festival Gala program and would be singing a song by Qu Yin! She also tagged Qu Yin in the post.

I am honored to have been invited by the Changkong Spring Festival Gala production team to participate in this year's gala. I will be joining you on the show on time. Special thanks to teacher Qu Yin for providing the lyrics and music and for his help! @QuYin

Since the program list for the Changkong Spring Festival Gala has not yet been released, Yingmei cannot reveal the song titles for the time being, but that does not prevent netizens from making guesses.

As the champion of the new singer competition, Ying was naturally invited to participate in the Changkong Spring Festival Gala. However, I didn't expect her to choose to continue singing Qu Yin's songs. I thought that Ni Shang would send a higher-level composer to be responsible for Ying's song creation.

[What's so strange about that? The song that helped Ying win the championship was already very good, and it would have been suitable for singing on the Spring Festival Gala. There was no need to change it.]

[Do you mean Ying will sing "Keep Walking in the Rain" again on the Spring Festival Gala?]

Isn't this obvious? Do you really think Qu Yin would create a new song that's just as good as "Keep Walking in the Rain" just for a spot on the Spring Festival Gala?

The possibility is very small!

That's great! I missed the live broadcast of the new singer competition because of other commitments, but I'm definitely going to watch the live stream of the Changkong Spring Festival Gala this time to make up for it!

Chang Kong Spring Festival Gala wasn't originally the most popular local Spring Festival Gala, but Yingmei's post attracted a lot of curious attention.

Qu Yin, in particular, is one of the most talked-about new composers right now, and news about him is naturally very attractive.

Countless people, both inside and outside the entertainment industry, were alarmed by the latest news about Qu Yin, including the renowned singer Lin Lan.

He wasn't really concerned at first, but now that so many people are talking about it, he's started to care a bit more.

He turned to look at a middle-aged man who was reading a book on the sofa.

"What a coincidence, Qu Yin is also going to participate in this year's Changkong Spring Festival Gala, and we'll be competing on the same stage."

The middle-aged man on the sofa appeared to be in his early forties, but his handsome features were undiminished. His attractive appearance exuded maturity and confidence, and his tall and upright figure revealed his healthy vitality. His thick black hair was slightly gray, which only highlighted the wisdom and experience he had gained over the years.

Those bright and piercing eyes were like deep lakes, revealing intelligence and determination, while his neatly trimmed beard added a touch of mature charm.

His every gesture revealed his profound knowledge and wisdom.

His name is Chen Feng, stage name Sui Yi, and he is one of the ninety-nine legendary musicians of our time.

At this time, he was staying at a five-star hotel in Changkong City with singer Lin Lan, preparing to participate in the Changkong Spring Festival Gala in January.

Chen Feng didn't even look up when he heard Lin Lan's words.

"No need to worry about it, anyway, our opponent this time isn't him."

Lin Lan plopped down on the sofa: "Why? Qu Yinshu has A-level skills, and his songs are indeed very good, having topped the new song charts for several months."

Chen Feng frowned slightly and closed the book.

"I acknowledge the strength of 'Keep Walking in the Rain,' but if I were to face off against this song head-on, I wouldn't be 100% confident of victory."

"However, if I'm not mistaken, the song Ying sang on the Spring Festival Gala this time should be the one that won her the Newcomer Singer Competition. So she won't be able to enter the New Song Chart and therefore won't be able to participate in the Battle of the Gods."

Lin Lan asked doubtfully, "What if he writes a new song?"

Chen Feng shook his head confidently: "That won't work either."

"You have such a low opinion of Quyin?"

"This is not a personal opinion, but a rational judgment," Chen Feng said calmly. "Since his debut, Qu Yin has released at least one song every month. People are amazed by his creative speed, but anyone with eyes can see that these songs are definitely not created by Qu Yin during this period. They are very likely to be his previous stockpiles."

As he spoke, Chen Feng stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the traffic below, which resembled tiny ants.

Chapter 200 Luxurious lineup

"Judging from the few songs he released before, Qu Yin is at most an A-level composer. Although he has created many high-quality songs, only two of them are worthy of my attention: 'Keep Walking in the Rain' and 'Sorrow'. Even 'Keep Walking in the Rain' only got second place in the Little Gods Battle back then. And this year's Gods Battle is so fierce, with three composers competing at the same time, and the top three spots are almost taken."

"If Qu Yin were smart enough, he would know that with his strength, he is simply not qualified to be among the top three. What is the point of participating in the War of the Gods if he doesn't make it into the top three?"

"It's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Instead of fighting tooth and nail in the War of the Gods, why not conserve your strength and take the top spot a few more times in ordinary months?"

Chen Feng's tone was resolute, and Lin Lan nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, if it were me, I wouldn't waste my time on this year's Battle of the Gods. Even if I had high-quality songs in my repertoire, I wouldn't participate, because the risk is too great. It's better to go next year and easily take the top spot."

Chen Feng turned around and said, "That's exactly what I meant. That's why I said Qu Yin would definitely let Ying sing 'Keep Walking in the Rain.' This song has stood the test of time and is widely accepted by the public. That way, we don't have to take any risks, and we can also ensure that the singer can perform smoothly on the Spring Festival Gala. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"

In short: You are strong, but not strong enough. You can gamble, but you don't need to.
