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

However, it is clear that the two do not yet possess such power. Moreover, the quality of "Aurora" cannot surpass that of "Golden" and "The World." Qu Yin's reputation is indeed not low, but compared to Eden and Walter, it is somewhat insignificant.

To put it simply, people who listen to Quyin songs will definitely listen to Eden and Walter's songs, but people who listen to Eden and Walter's songs will not necessarily listen to Quyin songs.

This is the gap.

However, it's the first time in history that a B-rank player has led a C-rank player to the top six in the War of the Gods! Even with this final result, no one will laugh at the two of them.

This is undoubtedly an absolute feat, something to boast about for a lifetime.

However, Yingmei didn't want to show off; in fact, she was quite unhappy.

"Damn it, only sixth place! Not even in the top three?! How am I supposed to explain this to Teacher Qu Yin?!"

Her agent sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "You still want to get into the top three? Getting into the top ten with the help of Teacher Qu Yin is already amazing! Don't be so ambitious."

Yingmei pouted: "But I think Teacher Quyin's song is definitely worthy of being in the top three! Damn it, if I were the queen of songs, I would definitely be in!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that I spent a full 100,000 yuan to buy Teacher Qu Yin's number one spot!"

"If we can win, we can earn 92!"

The agent rolled his eyes, speechless.

"By the way, how about the other singers?" Yingmei asked with concern. "Even if they can't make it into the top three, they can't fall out of the top three."

"I watched them all. In this battle of the gods, all the singers' works were excellent. Luck played a big part in our sixth place. The main reason was the boost from trending topics. Many listeners were attracted by the trending topics."

Yingmei nodded slightly. Although she had great confidence in Bai Qianqu's singing, she also knew her own limitations.

She truly delivered an exceptional performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage, far surpassing any previous rehearsal or practice session.

Of course, her skills are indeed very good, but if that's all she has, she probably wouldn't make it into the top ten.

The main reason is that Bai Qianqu and the Spring Festival Gala stage have a huge boost.

Although the agent didn't say it, she knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Yingmei's sixth position wouldn't last until the end. Once the trending topic died down and the popularity decreased, Yingmei's ranking would likely drop to tenth or even lower.

She had no good solutions to this and could only leave it to fate.

On this day, in the café run by Eden, three distinguished individuals were sitting together, drinking coffee and chatting.

They are Eden, Walter, and Planck.

The three of them actually know each other in private and have a pretty good relationship. They occasionally get together to exchange musical insights and experiences.

The reason why Eden and Walter released a song together for this War of the Gods is not as mysterious as the rumors are circulating, such as the two companies having a life-or-death battle or that Chasing Fire was trying to suppress the song's tone.

The two were simply invited to the Spring Festival Gala, and since they happened to have a good song, they wanted to make friends through music.

This is also a common tacit understanding between music masters, a unique way of communication.

Having reached the level of a master musician, they no longer care so much about winning or losing; they are more interested in honing their skills.

Planck was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Qu Yin pulled off another big feat this time, actually climbing to sixth place on the new song chart thanks to the boost from trending topics! I originally thought he would at most reach the top ten, but I underestimated him."

Walter adjusted his glasses and said very rationally, "From a generally rational point of view, this is only temporary. The traffic from trending topics comes and goes quickly. To truly gain a foothold, one still needs to rely on one's own strong strength."

Eden didn't speak; she stirred her coffee in circles, seemingly lost in thought.

Planck looked at Eden and asked with a smile, "Eden, what do you think? What ranking do you think Qu Yin will get this time?"

Eden smiled and said, "I don't have any other opinion. Qu Yin's level is quite good. This song 'Aurora' is different from many of our songs. We take the high-end route, but he chose a more approachable style, which is his advantage."

"As for his final ranking, I can't say for sure. Anything is possible."

"Mr. Walter, your work this time seems to have made some rather bold attempts, blending symphonic music with pop music style, which is very innovative."

"It's just a few small attempts. Quyin can create a new path in rap, and we shouldn't stick to the old ways."

Planck wasn't interested in their conversation either; she continued scrolling through her phone, and when she saw a music review, she suddenly gasped softly.

Eden and Walter both turned their gaze toward her.

Eden asked with concern, "What's wrong, Planck?"

Planck was clearly very surprised. She turned her phone over to show the two of them a music review article that was neither too long nor too short.

After Eden and Walter finished reading, their expressions changed.

After a while, Walter couldn't help but chuckle.

"Just as you said, Eden, Qu Yin does have his own advantages over us, and now, those advantages are beginning to show results."

Eden smiled, took a sip of coffee, and said calmly, "With this article, the outcome of this War of the Gods is obvious. However, I am not surprised. After all, this is Qu Yin. This child always brings me surprises. With such a rising star in the music scene, it seems that our pressure will be greatly reduced."

Chapter 276 Music Review

Soon, a music review appeared out of nowhere, and its title quickly attracted a lot of attention.

The title of the music review is very eye-catching:

I've failed and been frustrated, but I've never given up!

The music review was written by Yunhai Jinglong, a name familiar to many.

Many people also know his background!

That's the branch president of the music association! A highly respected figure, one of the top people in the music industry!

Many of his articles were published in official newspapers, and his words could even represent half of the official opinion!

As a very famous music critic, his articles naturally attract the curiosity of many people.

However, everyone was a little puzzled as to why this big shot suddenly published such an article. The title of the article also seemed strange, and no one understood what it represented.

Driven by this curiosity, everyone clicked on Li Rulong's music review and read it carefully.

This year's battle of the gods was truly spectacular, with many singers showcasing unprecedented talent, and even two legendary artists delivering a truly unparalleled auditory feast. I'm sure everyone was satisfied. However, among the many performances, one song caught my attention. After listening to it, I was certain it was right up my alley—that's Qu Yin's new song, "Aurora."

This song is more than just simple pop music; it's an expression that blends fantasy, romance, and reality, imbued with humanistic qualities.

Here's a little bit of background information for everyone. If you pay close attention, you'll see two lines of text on the background screen at the beginning of the performance of "Aurora": "Aurora is the legendary goddess of dawn who controls the aurora borealis."

So the question arises: where does Aurora, the goddess of dawn and light, come from? Actually, Aurora is a transliteration of the Latin word "Aurora," the goddess of dawn and the aurora borealis in Roman and Norse mythology. Her prototype is Eos from ancient Greek mythology, whose Roman name was Aurora. The aurora borealis is a beautiful gift from nature to humankind, and Aurora is a goddess who fills people with hope and anticipation.

[Regarding the song's background, Aurora means "autumn light," symbolizing luck and hope. The song's inspiration comes from Norse mythology. Named with a beautiful meaning, the song conveys positive energy.]

[At this point, you might think I'm just padding the word count, but please be patient. Once you understand the song title, you'll be able to understand the song's content much more easily.]

If you look closely at the lyrics, you'll find the true meaning of the song is hidden within them.

The song is titled "Aurora," but the word never appears in the entire song. Instead, it uses various lights—"sparkling lights of happiness," "light-years away," "the gaze of lovers," and so on. These lights are colorful and vibrant, occupying a large part of our lives, making them colorful and dazzling, just as the song says. The Northern Lights and the mysterious language of legends are like symbols of love between lovers. The song compares love to the Northern Lights, and love is the source of our courage and strength. Through the beautiful goddess Aurora, it expresses the wonderful feeling of love at first sight between lovers and the beautiful longing for happiness.

Okay, that was some commentary on the song. Now, here's what I really want to say.

Many people are currently at a crossroads in their lives, filled with confusion about their future and unable to see clearly what lies ahead. In today's technologically advanced world, the internet is filled with anxiety-inducing phrases like "Sophomore earning XX million a month," "Everyone gets a 985 degree," and "Earning over 10,000 a month." It seems that online, everyone transforms into the successful person everyone imagines. The stark contrast between others' glamorous lives and one's own miserable state makes many people feel even more inferior and lose confidence.

Li Rulong pointed out incisively:

[But are these things true? According to the latest surveys, only 5% of the global population earns over 10,000 yuan a month. In other words, if someone earns over 10,000 yuan a month, they are already at the very top of the human pyramid. How could such people be everywhere?]

Sometimes, putting down your phone, stepping away from your computer, and looking at the world around you, you'll find that your life seems pretty good, and might even be something others envy.

You stand on the bridge admiring the scenery, while someone else admires you from their window.

No one's life is forever dark, nor is anyone's life forever bright. The person you admire may be struggling to escape their own predicament.

Therefore, don't look down on your life. No matter what, it's undeniable that it has brought you many surprises.

Don't give up hope. You may never succeed in the future, but the flowers and scenery along the way are what you truly need to cherish.

Qu Yin is undoubtedly a person with great love in his heart. As a writer said, "To spread sunshine into other people's hearts, you must first have sunshine yourself." If I were to evaluate him, I believe that the music industry today needs more musicians like Qu Yin. The original intention of music is to awaken the most sincere emotions in people's hearts, but many musicians have gradually forgotten this. They treat music as a tool to seek fame and fortune for themselves, which undoubtedly tarnishes music!

[Only the sound of music! Although he's only a newcomer, he's already surpassed many others! This is what a true artist should do: use their work to bring profound impact and reflection to people!]

[I hope all musicians in the world can recall the initial emotions that a song evoked in them.]

After the article was published, the number of likes skyrocketed, and major media outlets and netizens shared it wildly, showing that everyone highly recognized this music review.

Many people were stunned. They had all listened to Qu Yin's song as ordinary pop music, but they never expected that after Li Rulong's explanation, the song would suddenly become so sophisticated.

After Li Rulong's music review was published, more music critics joined in, and one music review article after another appeared.

Surprisingly, everyone agreed that Qu Yin wanted to use this song to awaken people's yearning for the future.

Of course, besides this function, the song also prompted many musicians to engage in profound self-reflection.

As a musician, have you gradually forgotten your original intention?

An ordinary inspirational song seems to have been elevated to a higher level at this moment.

Chapter 277 New Legend

Perhaps influenced by numerous music reviews, many netizens, after seeing so many similar reviews, began to ponder the matter themselves.

That does seem to make some sense!

With the publication of Li Rulong's music review, the Global Music Association also announced its annual recommended song, which is Qu Yin's "Aurora".

Above the song, there is a very eye-catching recommendation:

"In a life that is both arduous and full of surprises, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Only by maintaining a calm mind and an indomitable belief, and by going through trials and tribulations, never giving up when encountering difficulties, but facing them head-on, can one become the future."

Global Music Association!

This is the most authoritative official music organization! It's also known as the world's largest "music trendsetter"!

To everyone's surprise, the official account actually recommended Qu Yin's song! Clearly, this song has received official recognition!

Over the years, with so many songs, how many have actually been officially recommended?

After all, official recommendations don't just consider the quality of the music; they also consider its impact.

Because official propaganda is always politically motivated, their choice of songs is mainly to guide people and establish a mainstream direction for the public.

Although "Aurora" is just a new song, it's clear that the producers believe it has great potential.

Previously, some people felt that Li Rulong's evaluation was somewhat far-fetched, but now that the official stance has been taken into account, the song is no longer a point of contention.

After all, if even the official sources approve of a song, who would dare to have any objections?

Of course, the official reason for endorsing Quyin is mainly due to their own considerations.

In today's rapidly developing world, many technologies are advancing by leaps and bounds, but people's culture is lagging behind, which has led to a gradual emptiness in people's hearts, and many young people are facing a lot of doubts and dilemmas.

Although these things may not show up as problems in the short term, they will affect the healthy development of society in the long run.
