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

After contributing their subscriptions, countless listeners began to spontaneously promote the program.

In various chat groups, links to share and forward "The Wind Rises" began to appear.

[Brothers! I've found a great song, come and check it out!]

Is this for real? Who sang this?

You might not believe it, but this was sung by a group of singers from the anti-entropy band who were just filling in the numbers.

【What? Zun Du is fake Du? Aren't these two newcomers?】

Don't underestimate newcomers! The quality of this song completely crushes a large number of veterans!

[Holy crap! This is amazing! I love it! I'm completely smitten!]

[Recommend this product!]

[Didn't you say whoever subscribes is a dog? You even made a post as proof.]

Where is the post?

[Damn, the post was deleted instantly! Shameless!]

Similar scenarios have occurred in many chat groups, with a large number of unknown onlookers flocking to Gangyi Cloud Music to listen to the song "The Wind Rises" and then subscribing to it.

On the Gangyi Cloud platform, songs can be listened to for free three times, but you need to subscribe to listen to them again. The subscription price is one yuan per song, and this price is the same all over the world, regardless of whether it is an S-level song or a C-level song.

After subscribing, Kosmo immediately added the song to his playlist and then clicked on the song details to see who created it.

"The singer is called 'The Wandering Poet,' and it turns out that the lyricist and composer are the same person, both named Qu Yin? Who is this Qu Yin? How could he have written both the lyrics and the music?"

Kosmo secretly memorized the name, intending to pay more attention to this melody in the future.

September 1st, as the first day of the new moon, is destined to be a very special day in the entertainment industry.

On this day, the new song chart will be fully refreshed at noon after half a day of accumulation. The ranking after this refresh basically represents the singer's performance this month. Of course, it is not absolute, since there are always rising stars who are catching up. However, in most cases, the initial ranking and the final ranking will not be too different.

Whether they are involved by releasing songs or simply observing, everyone is paying close attention to it.

After all, the new song chart is highly prestigious, and achieving good results there can be very beneficial for artists.

Putting everything else aside, the subscription revenue alone is a considerable sum of money.

Of course, many of the singers involved were also very nervous, after all, they came with a mission, and if they did not achieve the company's expected results, the next month would probably not be easy.

Moreover, many people know that since taking office, Bronya, the head manager of Anti-Entropy, has had no songs enter the top three for three consecutive months. This is a great disgrace for the veteran powerhouse Anti-Entropy. There are even rumors that if the songs fail to meet the company's requirements this time, Bronya may be transferred from the position of head manager.

For Anti-Entropy, this matter is quite significant, considering that the chief broker is a high-level executive with considerable power.

If the head broker is reassigned, it would be a major personnel change for Anti-Entropy, with a huge impact that is attracting close attention within the industry.

This tense yet expectant atmosphere lasted until noon.

In the general manager's office, Bronya was on the phone. She said respectfully to the person on the other end, "Yes, please rest assured, the song I chose this time is very good. Yes, you don't need to do anything. Okay, thank you, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Bronya breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Bai Qianqu who was leisurely drinking tea on the sofa, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This guy is really carefree; he doesn't seem nervous at all.

Seeing that Bronya had hung up the phone, Bai Qianqu asked curiously, "Bronya, was that your teacher just now?"

“Yes,” Bronya said, her expression turning to one of admiration, “that is our Anti-Entropy’s ace, Professor Walter the God of Music.”

"A master composer?" Bai Qianqu exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't he an S-level composer?"

"Are you really clueless or just pretending?" Bronya glanced at him. "The God of Music is an S-class composer, but an S-class composer isn't necessarily a God of Music. To become a God of Music, you must first become an S-class composer and then become the best composer of the year. It's too early to tell you all this now. You should advance to B-class first."

"Composer of the Year?" Bai Qianqu silently noted this down, thinking she could pay a little attention to it later.

Bronya then said, "It's almost noon, the new song charts are being updated, where do you think your song will rank?"

"I don't know." Bai Qianqu shook his head honestly. He had just woken up and arrived at the company when Bronya called him over. He was still a little confused.

Bronya was inwardly furious. Other people were so nervous about releasing a new song that they couldn't sleep, but he seemed to be able to fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, without any mental burden at all.

However, Bronya was already used to Bai Qianqu's laid-back attitude, so she didn't say anything and turned to stare intently at the new song chart on the screen.

In fact, the rumors outside were not unfounded. After three failures, not only outsiders but also inside the company had some reservations about Bronya. If Bronya were not Welt's student, someone would probably have stood up to question her long ago.

Bronya herself knew that if she failed again this time, even if the higher-ups could tolerate her, she would be too embarrassed to continue in her position.

To be honest, Bronya was unlucky. She had just taken office when Fire Chaser Music released three of their worst songs in a row. Since she was new to the job and not yet familiar with the work, coupled with the fact that Entropy hadn't had any good songs in the past few months, this situation came about.

However, none of these are excuses. In the battle between companies, only the victor takes all.

Therefore, Bronya can only prove herself by achieving results.

She glanced at the time; it was only two minutes until midnight. Bronya's eyes were closed.

Even though she knew that Bai Qianqu's song "The Wind Rises" was of excellent quality, and that she had used a lot of publicity resources to help promote it, she still couldn't help but feel nervous when it came time to reveal the results.

She was somewhat afraid to look at the computer screen.

But as midnight approached, Bronya's phone rang—it was the alarm she had set for this moment.

However, the ringtone sounded particularly jarring to her ears.

Chapter 41 An unexpected surprise

Bronya sighed, knowing that the time had finally come.

"Running away is useless; it's time to face it."

Bronya took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the new song chart.

At this moment, almost everyone in the music industry turned their attention to the charts.

Soon, everyone saw the song ranked number one on the new song chart, and they all nodded to each other in approval.

As expected, the number one song on the new song chart is Eden's new song, "Bloom".

In the past, this first place would definitely be fought over by several people, and it might even change hands several times within an hour. It would be impossible to determine a winner without fighting tooth and nail.

With Eden's intervention this time, the second and third ranked songs had no chance to fight back and were immediately pulled far ahead.

At this time, "Bloom" had 1023 million downloads, while the second-ranked game had only 502 million downloads, less than half of "Bloom's" total.

How can we compete like this?

Everyone can only sigh in despair. With the support of S-class composer Eden, it seems that Zhu Huo will hold onto the number one spot until the end of this month.

Bronya saw these too, and looked at the number one song on the charts with some envy, but there was nothing she could do. For a company, an S-class composer was like a strategic trump card, only to be used when things were very important and crucial.

However, Bronya cannot use Entropy's S-class composer because even if she uses him and achieves the top spot on the new song chart, it will not prove his work ability.

That only proves that S-level composers are awesome.

With an envious look, Bronya's gaze moved downwards, hoping that Bai Qianqu's song "The Wind Rises" wouldn't rank too low, otherwise no matter how much resources she continued to invest, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Instead of looking down in order, she started from the last one and worked her way forward. The new song chart can only display fifty spots at a time; any more than that and you have to go to the next page, which basically means you have no chance.

Besides Bai Qianqu, several other singers from the company also released new songs this time, but they were all relatively unknown singers, so Bronya didn't pay much attention to them.

To her surprise, she saw her own singer's song in the 43rd position.

It's not Bai Qianqu's song, but another new song called "White Feather," and the singer's name is—

"Shiyin?" Bai Qianqu came over at some point and looked at the singer's name, finding it somewhat familiar.

Bronya also remembered that she was the one who recruited this singer, but she had been busy with Bai Qianqu's affairs and hadn't had time to pay attention to this new singer.

It's quite unexpected that this singer made it into the top 50 of the new song chart with almost no promotional resources.

Bronya's expression softened slightly. It seemed her judgment was quite good after all. She would definitely nurture this young singer properly after this incident.

Of course, this is all on the premise that I won't be dismissed this time.

Bai Qianqu finally remembered who Shion was. It seemed to be a character from Honkai Impact 2, but she didn't know if it was the shrine maiden Shion or the white fox Shion.

Bronya took a deep breath and continued looking up. She quickly saw the top twenty spots, but still couldn't find "The Wind Rises".

Bronya's brows furrowed more and more, and she hesitated to look up, unable to resist glancing back at Bai Qianqu.

When Bai Qianqu saw Bronya looking at her, she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Bronya said in a deep voice, "The next level up is the top twenty. If you're below fifteen, it'll be very difficult to break into the top ten."

"Why not just go straight for the top ten? Didn't you want to be in the top three?" Bai Qianqu asked, puzzled.

Bronya thought about it and realized that there was no point in worrying about it; it was better to face it head-on.

So she gritted her teeth, dragged the mouse to the top ten, and quickly scanned the list.

The next instant, her eyes widened, and her breath caught in her throat!

Song: "The Wind Rises", Downloads: 501 million!

Ranked third!

It's only 10,000 downloads behind the second-ranked song, "Against the Current"!

Bronya gasped for breath, her heart filled with ecstasy!

She never expected that this song would actually get into the top three right away! In her mind, the best result would be to get into the top ten, and then if she worked hard to promote it, she could try to get into the top five, which would be a great achievement and at least save face for herself.

The current situation is far beyond her expectations, giving her a sense of unreality.

So Bronya pinched her thigh hard.

Bai Qianqu jumped up in pain: "Ouch!!! Why did you pinch me?"

Bronya looked satisfied.

"It seems to be true; I'm not dreaming."

"What do you mean, 'Zun Du' or 'Fake Du'? You're probably pinching yourself in your dream! Why are you pinching me?!"

Bai Qianqu was furious. She had already gotten into the top three, but she was still pinched by Da Yaya. She had no one to confide in.

Bronya looked apologetic: "Sorry, I pinched the wrong person."

"How could you misjudge this?"

"It feels good."

Bai Qianqu:? ? ?

Bronya couldn't help but laugh. This time, her tone was beyond words, and she was clearly in a good mood. It was obvious that she had done it on purpose earlier.
