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

"I have absolutely no idea what happened. Let me go scout ahead!"

Soon, the scouts returned, all of them looking somewhat panicked.

"Holy shit, shit, shit!"

"Hey, stop yelling 'Holy crap!' What happened? Tell me!"

"Qu Yin's new song, oh my god! I can't describe it, you'll have to listen to it for yourselves."

"Alright, alright, you like being a riddle teller, huh? Come on, let's go listen ourselves!"

Soon, these people rushed into Qu Yin's new song, and the song's data soared again, directly reaching the eighth position.

This rapid surge quickly attracted the attention of a large number of news media outlets, who all changed the headlines of their trending topics.

[Shocking! This year's biggest dark horse is actually him!]

[A dark horse emerges in the battle of the gods!]

The power of healing!

[Qu Yin's new song is released and is going viral online!]

It's unclear how many times Qu Yin has trended on social media. While others might get excited for half a year after trending once, Qu Yin trends as casually as drinking tea or eating. The key is that he has always maintained an indifferent attitude. Gradually, netizens and fans have become accustomed to it. When they see Qu Yin on the front page, they at most say, "Oh, he's on it again."

It seems like Qu Yin is abnormal if she doesn't do something strange every time.

In the following days of the Chinese New Year, Qu Yin's "Aurora" was a resounding success, and the overall data maintained a good growth trend, eventually reaching sixth place.

However, after taking sixth place, Aurora could not go any further because the lineups ahead of it were all double S-level artists, all of whom were true elites in the music industry.

However, Qu Yin and Ying Mei have also defeated everyone below S-rank, successfully becoming the number one person below double S-rank!

This result surprised many people, because they really didn't expect Qu Yin to get sixth place in the War of the Gods; but it was also reasonable, after all, everyone has seen the quality of "Aurora", so it is normal to get this ranking.

However, it's probably impossible to go any further. Her first five songs were equally amazing, and the singer's performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage was not much worse than Yingmei's. Plus, she was more famous and attracted more listeners.

At this time, the industry became lively again.

"It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year! Qu Yin has also secured the sixth place! He created a miracle in just five days! He jumped from sixteenth to sixth! A leap of ten places!"

"It seems that it will be very difficult for anyone below S-rank to keep Qu Yin in check! We've been saying that Qu Yin has the strength of a peak A-rank, and now it's clear that the rumors are true!"

"Peak A-rank? Have you ever seen a peak A-rank who is invincible below S-rank? I think Qu Yin is at least at the beginner S-rank level right now!"

"It's hard to say about the beginner S-level. Look at the current situation, if an S-level composer wants to suppress Qu Yin, he has to collaborate with an S-level singer. Look at the singer Ying that Qu Yin is currently collaborating with, she's only a C-level. If Qu Yin also collaborates with an S-level singer, do you think the S-level can suppress him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Yes, Qu Yin is currently dominating all the singers below S rank with just a C rank. If he were to collaborate with an S rank singer, or even a top singer...

This analogy is like someone wielding a blunt sword and cutting down the entire world; if they were equipped with the Mist-Cutting Blade, they could probably take on the entire universe single-handedly.

Someone said in despair, "Does this mean that no one below S-rank can stop the butt-raping maniac?"

"How can we stop him?" a veteran industry insider sighed. "Qu Yin's skills are gradually improving. He won't stand still. This is different from many others. He not only has talent, but he is also willing to try many different types of songs. Think about it, since his debut, haven't many of his songs been stylistically different?"

After thinking about it, everyone was stunned.

indeed!

Qu Yin's songs have a very wide range of styles. If they didn't have access to the creative information, they would never guess that all of them were created by one person.

Finally, this seasoned industry insider concluded:

"By continuously trying different creative styles and still achieving success, Qu Yin's potential is far more terrifying than we imagined!"

Chapter 274 Love is a light, so beautiful

Li Rulong, whose online ID is Yunhai Jinglong, is a well-known music critic whose music review articles attract a large number of clicks and likes.

Of course, besides this identity, he also has a hidden identity, which is the branch president of the Changkong City Music Association.

This identity carries significant weight. There are only 16 branch presidents in the global art association, and each of them has a high degree of autonomy. Therefore, his words carry considerable weight in the art world.

With the annual Battle of the Gods upon us, Li Rulong naturally kept a close eye on it, not to mention that two top-tier music gods were also participating this year.

He listened to it with an appreciative attitude as soon as possible, and nodded slightly after listening.

"As expected of Eden, the works are as excellent as ever. Walter's work this time is also good. He has added some symphonic ensemble elements to pop music, which is very creative. It seems that the champion of this year's War of the Gods will definitely be these two."

Li Rulong had no doubt about this. In previous years, if either of these two had made a move, the champion of the War of Gods would have been almost guaranteed. It would have been a piece of cake for these two to take the top spot, without any suspense whatsoever.

However, the fact that the two of them bumped into each other this year piqued his curiosity a little.

Will the elegant Eden win the championship, or will the innovative Walter prevail?

After listening to the two artists' works, Li Rulong did not leave immediately; he continued listening to the songs in the order listed on the new song chart.

Although these two masters are very talented, as the branch president of the music association, he naturally hopes to discover even more outstanding works and take the music scene in China to the next level. Relying on the efforts of one or two people is not enough.

He needs more outstanding creators!

He knew about some of the comments made by Qu Yin. He had been paying attention to this new composer a few months ago when the composer was competing against a California band and had put together a new rap song.

"I knew I wasn't wrong, this little guy always brings surprises."

Li Rulong looked at Qu Yin's new song.

"Aurora, that's an interesting name. Is it a transliteration of the Northern Lights? Does it have some special meaning?"

Li Rulong clicked the play button.

Soon, he heard Yingmei's unique voice.

The song ended quickly, and Li Rulong looked thoughtful.

The song's message is clear: it's an inspirational anthem. The arrangement incorporates exotic elements, and the mysterious yet captivating rhythm creates a sense of boundless vastness. The background instruments are rendered in reverse. Then, a drum fill-in introduces the signature melody, featuring a Nordic-style flute with a soothing, uncompressive vocal, complemented by appropriate strings and other Nordic instruments, highlighting an extraordinary atmosphere.

Well, it's a very meaningful song with a very catchy rhythm.

This is an excellent song; the singer and the lyrics and music are well-integrated, and both are outstanding.

If it weren't for the War of the Gods, this song would definitely have topped the charts.

Li Rulong really likes this song. You don't need to think too much when listening to it; you can just enjoy it quietly. Although he is not young, he still maintains a youthful heart, and this kind of light and pleasant song naturally suits his taste.

Looking at the songs at the top of the charts, almost all of them use very complex arrangements and lyrics, and the singers have pushed their singing skills to the limit, as if they want to show off everything they know.

Undeniably, they are all very talented musicians, but they seem to have overlooked one point.

While complex songwriting and performance can enhance their songs, excessive technical skill can alienate them from the general public.

Even Eden and Walter could not avoid this.

For example, Eden's "Golden" has a very complex singing technique, and its high notes are unmatched. However, such a song is only for admiring from afar and cannot be imitated by ordinary people. Even ordinary singers cannot imitate it.

It's like a treasure floating on the clouds, admired and worshipped, yet untouchable.

However, Qu Yin's song is like a gentle spring rain or a spring breeze, very relaxing and pleasant, and even a child can sing along.

This is a truly excellent piece that can be widely sung!

Perhaps ten or twenty years from now, when people talk about "Gold," they will at most exclaim: "Awesome!"

But when people talk about "Aurora," they can sing it directly—

This is the difference between the two.

It's hard to say which is better, but Li Rulong really likes the latter.

He smiled with great satisfaction. In the War of the Gods, when everyone was showing off their skills, Qu Yin created a song that conformed to popular aesthetics. He didn't know whether it was vulgar or refined.

It seems he's found his favorite song of the year.

Every year, the music association selects one song from the new songs released this year as a recommended song, and this song is chosen by a vote of the sixteen branch presidents.

In the past, Li Rulong would never have taken the initiative to recommend it, but this year he decided to push the song up.

Just then, his phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw it was the old man surnamed Chuan from before.

Li Rulong smiled, answered the call, and put the phone to his ear.

"What's up, Lao Chuan? Are you here to wish me a Happy New Year?"

"What kind of New Year's greetings are you talking about!" the old man surnamed Chuan cursed. "Why didn't you wish me a Happy New Year?"

His name is Chuan Jianguo, and he is also one of the branch presidents of the music association. He and Li Rulong are longtime friends.

Chuan Jianguo asked urgently, "Have you heard Qu Yin's new song?"

Li Rulong laughed heartily, realizing why the other party had contacted him.

"Of course I've heard it. What did you say?"

Chuan Jianguo was silent for a moment before saying, "I have to say, it is indeed very good. It is easy to understand, catchy, and easy to spread."

"Yes, it matches my aesthetic perfectly, I really like it."

“Me too.” Chuan Jianguo, unusually, didn’t argue with Li Rulong. He paused for a moment and continued, “I will recommend this song again.”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking too.” Li Rulong nodded. “Such an excellent song with a positive message is exactly the kind of work we’ve been looking for. Moreover, such an outstanding composer deserves our support and encouragement. The world needs proper guidance and direction more than ever. This is our most important responsibility as a member of the music association.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Rulong excitedly turned on his computer, created a new document, and began typing a line:

Love is a light, so beautiful.

Chapter 275 Advantages

Official recommendations naturally require time to prepare.

Over the next few days, the song rankings on the new song chart kept changing, but Bai Qianqu's "Aurora" remained firmly in sixth place, showing no signs of wavering.

There was no way to move forward, but no one could break through his blockade.

Aurora has become the gatekeeper of the top six.

However, when everyone saw Qu Yin stop walking, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it didn't actually kill the god.

When a song climbs the charts, it's not just about the quality of the song, but also the fame of the singer and songwriter.

If another singer has several times more fans than you, their play count will surpass yours. Even if you catch up later with superior quality, it will still take a lot of time and effort.

Not everyone can turn the tide, and Qu Yin can't always defy fate.

If Qu Yin is an S-level composer and Ying Mei is a queen of song, they might actually be able to challenge these two composers.
