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

Indeed, a higher platform offers better development opportunities, but Zhao Yunyan doesn't like it because it means she can't control her own songs. The company assigns her songs, and she has to sing them, with little opportunity for independent choice.

Unlike her, although it's a mid-sized company with only two A-level composers, as the music director, she has a high degree of autonomy in making choices.

In an effort to retain Zhao Yunyan, the company she worked for initially agreed to give her the freedom to choose and change the lyrics and music.

She can accept or reject any songs she likes or dislikes. She can even participate in the song creation process, writing lyrics and composing music herself, and having the songwriters revise the songs according to her suggestions until she is satisfied.

This is definitely an anomaly among singers. Although she doesn't arbitrarily ask people to modify songs, it does interfere with the work of songwriters. Many senior songwriters dislike others interfering, so she is destined to have difficulty finding high-level collaborators.

However, the two A-level composers in the company maintained a good working relationship with her because the songs revised by Zhao Yunyan had indeed improved, which was an undeniable fact, and the two composers also acknowledged her ability.

This year, the song "Snow" that she participated in the Battle of the Gods was a collaboration between her and two A-level composers. She wrote the lyrics herself and revised them many times to achieve the best effect. She has great confidence in this song and is sure that it will achieve a good result in the Battle of the Gods.

Because she released a new song for the War of the Gods, she, as the music director, simply didn't go home and stayed at the company to work.

She needs to personally oversee her songs to feel at ease.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Yunyan, who had just gotten up and finished washing up at the hotel, opened her music app while eating breakfast. She immediately checked the position of her song, which was number fifteen.

Although she didn't make it into the top ten as she had expected, she wasn't discouraged, since it was within her expectations.

Moreover, this is only the first day of the War of the Gods, and there will definitely be several more rounds of intense ranking changes afterward. Therefore, the current rankings are only for reference and do not represent the final result.

She then immediately searched for Eden and Walter's new songs.

Although she was very confident in herself, she dared not be arrogant in front of these two masters. Facing people who were much better than her, she could only admire them. Every time the two masters released a new song, Zhao Yunyan would listen to it carefully with a learning attitude.

Eden's new song is called "Gold". After listening to it, Zhao Yunyan's expression became respectful, with a hint of shock.

Without a doubt, this song is definitely a masterpiece by Eden. The entire song is almost entirely high-pitched and very ethereal. Zhao Yunyan felt as if she were on a mountaintop, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds. In such a scene, she felt as small as an ant.

After calming herself down a bit, Zhao Yunyan couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Eden's songs are still the same as ever. That feeling of transcending the world is truly something to aspire to."

Immediately afterwards, she clicked on Walter's new song, which was called "The World".

After listening, Zhao Yunyan fell silent again.

If Eden's song was about transcending the world, then Walter's song is about engaging with the world.

The entire song is dominated by heavy bass, creating a powerful and majestic feeling that is hard to resist.

Zhao Yunyan muttered to herself, "As expected of the God of Music, she can create such a work simply by being a little more serious."

That's right, while these two songs are very good, they are not the best works of the two artists.

Even so, these two songs completely crushed all the works on the new song chart, ranking first and second respectively, and their data was almost the same, far surpassing the current third place.

Zhao Yunyan was deeply moved, as it was only at this moment that she was able to understand a little bit of the thoughts of those singers who joined big companies.

She would do anything if these two big shots could write a song for her.

However, she quickly smiled and shook her head. These two big names have their own regular collaborating singers, and ordinary singers don't have the opportunity to work with them. Not every composer like Qu Yin likes to find new singers to collaborate with.

After calming herself down, Zhao Yunyan listened to several more new songs that were at the top of the charts. It was undeniable that these songs were of very good quality, showing that the composers from various companies had brought out their best works. If these songs were released in a normal month, they would definitely have the potential to top the charts.

However, in this war of gods where heroes rose up, these songs seemed commonplace, not to mention that there were two songs from the God of Music suppressing them in front.

At this moment, Zhao Yunyan looked at her song, which was ranked fifteenth, and felt that it was pretty good. This year's new songs were better than those of previous years, and Eden and Walter had not participated in previous years.

Under such circumstances, making it into the top twenty is already quite good.

Just as Zhao Yunyan was about to close the music app with satisfaction, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a song behind her called "Aurora" out of the corner of her eye. It was currently ranked seventeenth, but in the blink of an eye, the song jumped up a rank to sixteenth!

The original number sixteen was kicked up to seventeen!

"what?!"

Zhao Yunyan was completely stunned. She had been playing mahjong all night, until very late, and went to bed right afterward. She hadn't paid any attention to the Changkong Spring Festival Gala, so she had no idea what had happened. Now, seeing this situation, she was utterly bewildered. Looking at the opponent's stats, it seemed they were very close to hers! It seemed like they could surpass her at any moment!

"Whose song is this, that it's so powerful?"

She hurriedly looked at the song's creator information. The singer was named Ying, a singer she had heard of before, who was the champion of last year's newcomer singer competition.

Chapter 272 The War to Slay the Gods!

However, Zhao Yunyan didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, he was just a new singer, and there were new ones every year, so it wasn't anything special.

She then looked at the songwriter, and when she saw the melody, her pupils contracted slightly.

Zhao Yunyan was not familiar with Yingmei, but she was much more familiar with Quyin.

The first time I heard this name was in September's new song chart. At that time, the singers in her company also released new songs, and she was in charge of them. However, that time, the singers in her company did not even make it into the top ten, only getting eleventh place, and she witnessed Qu Yin's feat of climbing all the way from the back to the first place.

At the time, she felt that this emerging composer was no ordinary person, and in the following months, just as she had expected, he continued to release songs and began to make a name for himself.

However, she has been working hard on her new song for the past two months and has not been paying attention to Qu Yin's activities, so she did not know that Yingmei's new song was still written by Qu Yin.

"I want to see what kind of song could possibly be compared to the work I've been meticulously preparing for months."

Unconvinced, Zhao Yunyan clicked on "Aurora" to hear the other party's true abilities.

The intro to the song was the same as before, but when the singing part started, Zhao Yunyan shifted her position slightly—she was getting restless.

When she heard the climax, Zhao Yunyan's mouth involuntarily opened. She was initially a little unconvinced, but after listening to the song, she finally understood everything.

She initially felt the other person was unworthy of her, but now she feels like she's the one who's out of her league.

As the song ended, Zhao Yunyan suddenly seemed to have all her strength drained away, slumping weakly into her chair with a bitter smile on her lips.

Just how many demons and monsters have infiltrated this year's War of the Gods?

Just then, Zhao Yunyan's manager came to her room, intending to say some New Year's greetings. However, seeing her singer looking dejected, she was startled and quickly went to her side to ask, "What's wrong? Why do you look like this?"

Zhao Yunyan ignored her, as if she hadn't heard anything. After a while, she finally let out a soft sigh.

The agent walked up with a puzzled look and glanced at the ranking on the new song chart: "Fifteenth, not bad, right? Although it didn't make it into the top ten, it's not bad either, is it? There's no need to be so disappointed, is there?"

"Fifteen?" Zhao Yunyan continued softly, "It won't be fifteen for long."

"Huh?" The manager was still confused; he had never seen Zhao Yunyan so pessimistic. "What happened? Why did it change so quickly?"

Zhao Yunyan pointed to the back of the new song chart, and her manager looked in the direction she was pointing and immediately gasped!

Melody!

The agent was naturally aware of Qu Yin's reputation as a "butt-raping maniac," and some unpleasant memories immediately flooded back.

"Why is this guy here again?" The manager's face was very unpleasant.

While the two were talking, the new song chart refreshed automatically. The manager took a look and was immediately dumbfounded. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

"Holy crap? How come he's already fifteen after just a few words? We've been pushed down to sixteen?"

The agent suddenly turned his head and met Zhao Yunyan's gaze. Zhao Yunyan looked calm, as if she had already seen through everything.

"You'll understand once you listen to Qu Yin's new song."

"So evil?"

The manager didn't believe it and started listening to the song.

After the song ended, the two people in the room became numb. The manager brought over a chair and sat down with Zhao Yunyan, and the atmosphere around them seemed to drop considerably.

After a long while, the manager finally managed to say with difficulty, "It's clearly a very inspiring song, but why do I feel so pessimistic and hopeless after listening to it?"

“That’s normal, I can understand.” Zhao Yunyan nodded in agreement. “The triumphant songs of others are like a requiem for us.”

The two sat quietly for a while, and then the agent got up and refreshed the charts again.

What position is the melody at now?

When she asked this question, Zhao Yunyan suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation.

Even though Qu Yin had defeated her, she didn't hold a grudge against her. Instead, she was looking forward to Qu Yin's continued rise. This was the first time she had ever felt this way.

She hopes to see more people experience the same thing she did!

The manager stared at the new song chart, his lips twitching, and said with some difficulty, "It's already tenth! And this has only been half an hour! It went from sixteenth to tenth in such a short time! This is a battle of the gods! How can he still be as fierce as before? This doesn't make sense!"

When Zhao Yunyan heard that the music had reached tenth place, she was not upset at all; on the contrary, she felt a surge of joy, as if she had gained great satisfaction.

At this moment, she seemed to have become a fan of Qu Yin, and she was very proud to see Qu Yin break into the top ten.

"It's just a war of the gods, right? Don't forget that Qu Yin has defeated quite a few S-class enemies. He's the 'Butt-Piercing Maniac'! What wouldn't he do?"

"A war of the gods? In my opinion, this should be called a war to slay the gods!"

The agent looked constipated, not understanding why Zhao Yunyan was so smug when Qu Yin was so popular.

However, the manager still looked at the screen with some emotion: "No matter what, Qu Yin's song has entered the top ten. Just based on this achievement, he is already invincible in the War of Gods. Moreover, Ying, who sings this song, is really going to become popular."

Zhao Yunyan shook her head: "Whether Yinghuo becomes popular or not is not important. She's just a side effect. The main thing is that Quyin is definitely going to become popular. The top ten in the Battle of the Gods is more valuable than the usual number one. After all, every song in the top ten would normally be number one!"

Qu Yin's manager had a very complicated expression. "He debuted last year and only just rose to B-level. This time he's in the top ten. This is too abnormal."

"Hehe, that's what makes Qu Yin so fascinating." Zhao Yunyan wasn't sure if she had truly become a fan of Qu Yin. "I'm actually a bit confused too. Qu Yin is clearly very strong, so why do so many people subconsciously look down on him? Is rank really that important? So what if he's B-rank? A B-rank can still beat an S-rank, right? In my opinion, no matter what rank Qu Yin is, even if he doesn't have a rank, as long as he can beat an S-rank, then he's awesome!"

The agent pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, we have indeed fallen into a misconception. Using rankings to distinguish ordinary people is fine, but it won't work when you encounter someone as unreasonable as Qu Yin. He was able to get into the top ten in the War of the Gods, which already makes him one of the top composers in the world."

Chapter 273 Killing like crazy

Zhao Yunyan looked at the new song chart on the computer screen and suddenly shook her head slowly.

"I think tenth place is not Qu Yin's limit, and he is very likely to aim for a higher position."

The agent looked at Zhao Yunyan in surprise. In her imagination, no matter how good Qu Yin was, she would at most hover around tenth place. The place above that was the territory of the King of Singers and S-level composers. Those were the real big shots in the War of Gods.

Zhao Yunyan smiled slightly: "Let's wait and see."

At this time, many people had finished exchanging New Year's greetings and started to have some free time, so more and more people took out their phones to check the new song charts.

Like Zhao Yunyan, most people first paid homage to the works of the two music gods, contributing their downloads, and then searched for works that interested them in turn. Fans, on the other hand, went straight to the works of their idols.

Although Ying is just a new singer, she has accumulated quite a few fans. With the gimmick of winning the new singer competition and appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, her current number of fans is no less than that of some A-level singers. These fans naturally contributed a download to Ying without hesitation.

However, besides these fans, there is also a large group of people who come specifically to listen to Yingmei's songs. Among these people are fans of Quyin and people who are interested in Quyin's new songs.

Many people had already watched clips of the Changkong Spring Festival Gala last night, so they came here specifically to listen to the official studio recording version.

There were just too many people, so Yingmei's new song was like a rocket, its ranking soaring rapidly and quickly breaking into the top ten.

Many fans were also slow to realize it. They were listening to their idol's new song when they suddenly found that their idol's ranking had dropped by one. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was someone else again.

Not everyone knows what happened at the Changkong Spring Festival Gala, so most people are still confused.

"What's going on? Why is it Qu Yin again?! What did he do?! This is the War of the Gods, why is he acting the same as before?!"

"I don't know! If I hadn't just received a red envelope, I would have wondered if it was Chinese New Year. This scene is just too similar to the old ones!"
