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

Countless audience members couldn't help but clap along to the rhythm of the song, turning a Spring Festival Gala song performance into a live concert for Yingmei.

Chapter 269 Extraordinary Performance

PS: (The song title was changed from "Invisible Wings" to "Aurora" mainly because I wanted to place it in a more appropriate context (*^_^*))

Aurora in five colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue

Love resides in the heart, and belief will ensure its existence.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, the beautiful Aurora

Love resides in the heart, and belief is forever!

Yingmei stretched out her arms and swayed along with the audience. At that moment, she seemed to be shining, attracting the attention of the entire audience. She was so dazzling that she seemed to be the embodiment of the Northern Lights, illuminating everyone.

At this moment, in the preparation room backstage of the Changkong Spring Festival Gala, Lin Lan was idly waiting for her turn to go on stage. The soundproofing of this preparation room was very good, and it was like a recording studio. Almost all the performers in the show had such a room to do their pre-show preparations.

Even in such a soundproof booth, he could still faintly hear the cheers of the audience outside, which puzzled Lin Lan.

He glanced at the time and muttered to himself, "Isn't it supposed to be Ying singing now? What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"

He took out his phone and directly opened the live broadcast of the Changkong Spring Festival Gala.

Because there is a time difference between live streaming and reality, he happened to see the ending of Yingmei singing "Aurora".

In an instant, Lin Lan was stunned. He quickly clicked to replay the audio and listened to it again.

"Holy crap! This is cheating! What's the point of even competing like this?!"

His eyes were glued to the phone screen, and he was completely out of control. Not only was he emotionally distraught, but he also suddenly felt a chill in his crotch!

That's right, he's the one who previously threatened online that if Yingmei got into the top three, he would wash his little brother with Tiger Balm.

He had initially thought it was absolutely impossible, but now he suddenly felt that it might be a bit risky!

Although I don't know how good Eden and Planck's songs are, he knows his own songs very well!

The two songs are of similar quality, and it's impossible for one to be 100% better than the other!

His eyes were red as he stared intently at the song creation section, where the lyrics and music were all listed!

If it weren't for Qu Yin, Ying would still be a newcomer singer who had just debuted. Even if she was the champion of the newcomer singer competition, she would still be a newcomer. How could she be compared to a singing king like herself?

However, reality is cruel; the opponent actually possessed combat power comparable to his own in the War of the Gods!

Is this the benefit of clinging to someone powerful?

At this moment, Chen Feng also walked over from the other side of the room. Seeing Lin Lan staring at her phone with red eyes, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What's wrong? You're about to go on stage, why are you in such a bad state?"

Lin Lan almost burst into tears when she saw Chen Feng.

"Dude, if your opponent is cheating against you, how can you win?"

"Ok?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled, "Cheating? Are you playing a game?"

"What games are you playing! Look over here, it's the Changkong Spring Festival Gala live broadcast!"

Chen Feng took Lin Lan's phone and saw that Yingmei's singing was almost over, but Chen Feng still clearly felt that something was wrong.

The singing, the atmosphere of the scene.

It didn't feel like a party; it felt more like a concert.

Of course, the most crucial thing is the song the other person sang—

Chen Feng dragged the progress bar to the beginning of the song and listened to it carefully from beginning to end.

Gradually, his expression became serious.

Lin Lan's song was written by him, so he naturally knew its worth. The reason he was willing to share it was because it was his most satisfying work in recent years. Even with Eden and Walter participating in this battle of the gods, he was confident that he could still get into the top three.

However, after listening to Yingmei's "Aurora," Chen Feng's unwavering confidence wavered for the first time. Although his song was also very good, he no longer had the assurance of victory.

However, Chen Feng remained relatively calm. Although the song "Aurora" was quite good, it would be difficult for it to surpass his own version, as it was still somewhat lacking.

At this moment, Max Planck, the globally recognized master of half-step choir, was also watching the Spring Festival Gala in the Sky. However, she was all smiles and seemed very interested. But after watching it, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She had heard Yingmei sing this song in the recording studio before, but the live version was clearly better than the original. Yingmei's performance was also more surprising, and it was an exceptional performance.

When the song ended, Planck smiled, thought for a moment, and then suddenly picked up her phone and dialed a number.

After a while, the call was finally answered, and a slightly tired voice came through.

"Hey?"

It was Chen Feng.

Planck laughed and said, "Weren't you at the Chang Kong Spring Festival Gala? Did you hear Qu Yin's new song?"

Chen Feng remained silent for a while before saying, "The song is good. If I didn't know it was written by two newcomers, I would even suspect that you were behind it."

"Even my intervention didn't have this effect. By the way, do you know how old Qu Yin is this year?"

"How old?" Chen Feng was also quite curious about Qu Yin. He had heard some rumors about her, saying that Qu Yin was a young person, but no one knew exactly how young she was.

"You're young, it shouldn't be a problem to say it out loud, um, twenty."

"That's impossible!" Chen Feng blurted out, instinctively denying it. "Twenty? How could that be?!"

Planck smiled and shook his head: "Yes, that's what I thought before I met him, but that's the truth."

Chen Feng gasped. He knew Planck wouldn't lie to him, but his subconscious told him it was too fake.

Most people are still in school at twenty, or even children, but Qu Yin is already able to arm wrestle with Qu Shen. Does this mean he has the ability to fight Qu Shen?

This news was so shocking that Chen Feng was unable to calm down for a long time and needed some time to process it.

After a while, he whispered, "Could it be that another Eden is about to emerge in the music industry?"

Yes, Eden is the youngest music god in the world, and a legend that no one can rival to this day.

Not only did she achieve fame at a young age, but she also went from a newcomer to an S-level composer in just five years since her debut. After becoming an S-level composer, she directly ascended to godhood, creating an unprecedented twelve-year winning streak on the new song charts. This is the fastest record to become a god, and it is still talked about today.

Now, Chen Feng seems to see the shadow of Eden in Qu Yin. The two are the same, rising rapidly and shining brightly. They are simply geniuses among geniuses.

Planck also remarked with some emotion: "I feel the same way. Qu Yin does indeed have the potential in this area. Perhaps in the near future, he will be able to stand on equal footing with you and me."

Chapter 270 The Incredible Pressure of the Spring Festival Gala

"It's really interesting. He's produced so many excellent works in a row. I always thought he had almost run out of material, but I didn't expect him to be able to produce such outstanding works. I underestimated him."

"Hmm? I didn't expect you to say something like that." Planck was somewhat surprised. "In my memory, you've never admitted defeat, no matter what."

"I'm not admitting defeat, I'm just feeling a bit emotional," Chen Feng said, his tone shifting back to its usual calm. "Even if Qu Yin's song is very good, it's still not enough to beat me. I still have a better chance of winning."

Planck did not refute, which can be regarded as an admission of Chen Feng's words.

A masterpiece by a legendary composer is no ordinary work; it must be a high-quality masterpiece, no less impressive than "Aurora" in terms of quality, and a definite hit song even in the original world.

With the added popularity of the "God of Songs" and the "King of Singers" on Chen Feng's side, it's definitely not an easy task for Qu Yin and Ying Mei to beat them.

However, the internet has now exploded because of Yingmei's song "Aurora". Countless people flocked to the live broadcast room of Changkong Spring Festival Gala, and some people even cut up clips of Yingmei's performance and posted them on various short video platforms at lightning speed, attracting countless viewers and comments.

[Holy crap, guys! This is seriously amazing! Chang Kong's new song at the Spring Festival Gala was phenomenal!]

[I was just casually checking this out before the Spring Festival Gala, but it turned out to be a bombshell! To be honest, the lyrics and composition are impeccable, the melody is spot-on, and the new song is really great! I also feel it's perfect for live performances; the effect is fantastic!]

The popularity of the Changchun Spring Festival Gala has surged significantly, putting pressure on the national Spring Festival Gala. If its viewership falls short of that of the local galas, it will be a huge embarrassment!

[Probably not. Even if a local Spring Festival Gala is very popular, its popularity can't compare to the national Spring Festival Gala, given its scale.]

[But no matter what, the popularity of this year's national Spring Festival Gala will definitely be affected. After all, there have never been so many people gathering at local Spring Festival Galas before. I can already imagine the director of the national gala's face, haha!]

The netizens are right; the atmosphere in the Spring Festival Gala studio is indeed somewhat heavy right now, and the two directors in charge of this year's gala don't look too good.

The chief director was very frustrated: "What's going on? What kind of trouble is Changkong Spring Festival Gala causing? How could such a song suddenly appear? It has attracted all the viewers, and according to the data, our Spring Festival Gala's ratings have dropped by several percentage points!"

The assistant director was also very troubled: "The key is whether we can suppress them now. Otherwise, if the most popular song and program of this year's Spring Festival Gala is from a local station, it will be a big blow to our national Spring Festival Gala. This has never happened before. If something goes wrong during the time you and I are in charge this year, we will have a hard time explaining ourselves."

"We shouldn't worry too much about that. Don't we have Eden and Walter, two masters of music, here?" The director frowned slightly. "I don't believe that these two can't control a single note."

The assistant director, however, was not so optimistic: "I have just spoken with these two, and they said they are not entirely confident."

"Huh? Really? As far as I know, Qu Yin is only a B-level, right? At most, he has A-level skills. I just watched this song, and it must have been created by him through exceptional performance, right? And the reason it's so effective is mainly because the singer performed exceptionally well."

The director looked incredulous: "Our two top-notch musicians are absolutely certain of victory. Could they be just being modest?"

"I don't know about that," the assistant director said with a wry smile.

The chief director snorted coldly: "If only we had invited Qu Yin to the Spring Festival Gala back then, we wouldn't have encountered so much trouble. Don't forget that besides Qu Yin, there's also Chen Feng at this year's Changkong Spring Festival Gala. I thought we had given it enough attention, but we still ran into trouble."

"There's nothing we can do about it. I did have the idea of ​​inviting Qu Yin, but many people disagreed. They thought that Qu Yin's debut time was too short and she didn't meet the invitation criteria for our stage."

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible! Although Qu Yin is a newcomer this year, his talent is undeniable, and he is also the most popular composer this year. Our program should select the best candidates, not those with seniority!"

The chief director sighed, "It's a pity I won't be directing next year's Spring Festival Gala, otherwise I would definitely invite Qu Yin to participate!"

However, since things had already come to this, there was no use in complaining anymore; they could only do their best to mitigate the losses.

Although this year's Spring Festival Gala was as wonderful as ever, and its overall quality was a level above that of other Spring Festival Galas, other galas also featured many wonderful programs, and many singers performed their new songs on the show, which caused a sensation online.

My brother is definitely going to be in the top ten this time!

[Hilarious! My idol's songs were written by an S-level composer! If they weren't S-level, could they even make the top ten?]

What's all the fuss about? My Yu-ge is the true god of the Chinese music scene!

[Yu Ge? Are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my straw? That singer whose singing is like his cooking, everyone online is saying it's the most outrageous performance of this year's Spring Festival Gala, don't embarrass yourself with that. My Will's rap is the pinnacle of the year! This battle of the gods will definitely have a place for my Will!]

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people visit relatives and friends to exchange New Year's greetings and receive red envelopes. However, this does not stop netizens from expressing their opinions on their mobile phones. In fact, many people have even argued online in support of their idols.

Everyone was used to it, since it happened every year at this time. Singers whose abilities were similar were ranked around the same time, and they themselves didn't dare to say they were sure to win. However, in the eyes of their fans, their idols were perfect.

In response, many singers' managers have started posting on their respective fan groups and official accounts to prevent the situation from escalating further and causing unnecessary harm, urging everyone to remain calm and avoid arguing over unnecessary matters.

Many singers' fan groups are actually controlled by their managers. Even the group owners and administrators may be paid. They follow the manager's instructions to manage the fans in the group. There are many such groups, and almost every singer has one. Therefore, although the fans are arguing fiercely, it has not caused any serious impact.

Chapter 271 The War of the Gods!

Zhao Yunyan is a very talented S-level singer. However, unlike other S-level singers, she declined the offers from big companies and instead served as the chief music director at a mid-sized company. This company was the one she debuted with and provided her with a lot of help in her growth. Therefore, she is very grateful to her former employer.

In addition, she had a rather indifferent personality and did not particularly like pursuing fame and fortune, so she stayed to work for her old employer.

She knew all too well why those S-level singers joined large companies: on the one hand, to enter a larger platform to develop themselves, and on the other hand, to get songs from top composers.
