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

"Vocal crossing occurs when the tenor is higher than the alto, or the bass is higher than the tenor, or the soprano is lower than the alto."

Bai Qianqu found these convoluted phrases easy to understand and was completely engrossed in reading them.

Li Yang was dumbfounded, and even doubted for a moment whether this was the song that wrote "The Wind Rises" and was so widely circulated outside, the so-called rising star of the Chinese music scene.

Why do we need to review these basic concepts?

For a moment, Li Yang felt that he wasn't entirely useless, after all, he was better at these basic knowledge than Qu Yin!

This made him straighten his back and feel somewhat smug.

These past few days, Bai Qianqu has been reading and studying at work. For him, it's like getting paid to go to school, which is great!

The rest of the department had nothing to say; after all, the other person had taken second place on the new song chart.

With that kind of power, one can be arrogant!

After all, this world is a place where strength speaks volumes.

If you have the ability, you can enjoy many privileges.

Moreover, Bai Qianqu didn't feel like he was getting paid for nothing, since he considered studying as part of his job.

Only through continuous learning can we create better works!

Just as Bai Qianqu was diligently studying and making progress, Zhang Qiqi couldn't sit still anymore. She had practically worn out the new song charts these past few days, checking them every few minutes, afraid that someone else would take her number one spot.

She even lost her appetite and couldn't sleep well, and she became quite thin.

It's no wonder she reacted this way; even her manager became anxious.

The reason is simple: just look at the download numbers on the new song charts.

"Bloom" has been downloaded 2132 million times.

"The Wind Rises" has been downloaded 2124 million times!

In just one week, with the strong support of Anti-Entropy, the download volume of "The Wind Rises" has skyrocketed! It's now almost catching up with the number one "Blooming"!

With the gap between the two songs narrowing, who could sleep at night?

Although Zhu Huo did give "Blooming" a lot of publicity, the effect was minimal, since most people already knew the song without any promotion, and further promotion wouldn't add many new listeners.

However, "The Wind Rises" is different. It has great potential for development. Many people don't even know about this song. After all, if you don't pay attention to the new song charts, it's hard for you to actively search for it.

I only become interested and search for something after receiving recommendations from friends and family or seeing promotional ads from Anti-Entropy.

These people have made a significant contribution to the download volume; much of the surge in downloads this week was due to their efforts.

However, Zhang Qiqi clearly didn't understand this. She stared blankly at the download count on the screen and panicked.

"How could this be? Yesterday it was two million less than me, how come today it only has less than one hundred thousand left?"

"This song is too eerie! Reverse Entropy is truly terrifying!" The manager gritted her teeth and decided to use her last trump card. "Qiqi, now's the time to use your greatest advantage!"

Zhang Qiqi was bewildered: "What advantage?"

The agent said in a deep voice, "Fame! Don't forget, you're a top-tier B-level singer! You have millions of fans! While that Qu Yin and the Bard have absolutely no fan base!"

"Now is the time for you to leverage your fan base! All you need to do is post an update! Just start a live stream! Raise your voice in the live stream, and your fans will definitely give you their full support! You'll leave your competitors far behind!"

Zhang Qiqi's eyes lit up!

That's right! I have millions of fans! I'm not fighting this battle alone!

It's time to rally the fans and fight together!

Zhang Qiqi hurriedly took a shower, put on makeup, and changed into a beautiful outfit, preparing to gather her fans.

But when she came out with the right clothes, everything was ready except to start the broadcast, she found her manager sitting on the sofa with a deathly pale face and lifeless eyes.

Zhang Qiqi asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The agent raised her eyes, which had lost their luster, and murmured, "Qiqi, you've been exposed."

Zhang Qiqi: ? ? ?

What do you mean? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?

I'm still a virgin—

Chapter 46 The Title of the God of Music

However, when Zhang Qiqi saw the computer screen on the desktop, she almost fell to the ground.

The current new song chart.

"The Wind Rises" has been downloaded 2255 million times.

"Bloom" has been downloaded 2252 million times.

"The Wind Rises" is ranked number one!

The agent sighed, quickly composed himself, and immediately comforted his singer.

"It's alright. Victory and defeat are common in war. Don't be too sad."

Zhang Qiqi was on the verge of tears. She couldn't understand how a sure first place could slip away from her grasp.

"Sister Li, do you think I still have a chance to win first place back?"

Sister Li hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Unless Teacher Eden personally campaigns for votes, no one can compete with her. But as you know, Teacher Eden won't say a word. Sigh, forget it. Nobody could have predicted this, and it's not your fault. We can only say we were unlucky."

The moment "The Wind Rises" made a comeback and took first place, everyone who was following the new song charts went wild.

"Holy crap? They really pulled off a comeback?"

"I feel like I've witnessed a miracle! Even the Song of Eden can be defeated?!"

"Apart from Qu Shen, no one has ever been able to surpass Teacher Eden on the list. This Qu Yin has truly created a miracle!"

"The gap between the two was 50% at the start! How could they catch up and be overtaken? This is probably the biggest dark horse in the history of the new song chart!"

"Zhang Qiqi is about to cry; she was really hoping this song would get an A grade."

"I wonder how Eden will react. After all, it's quite embarrassing to lose to an unknown new composer."

"Eden's perspective isn't that narrow. She probably won't care at all. Besides, it's just a song, it doesn't represent anything. This song of hers is just average among all her works, not even outstanding."

"It seems that Teacher Eden didn't take this new song chart seriously either, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage!"

"That's not entirely true. Although Teacher Eden didn't use her full strength, any song she randomly picks could crush a group of composers. They're at least at the top A level. Qu Yin's victory shows that she's also very capable. I just don't know how old Qu Yin is, but to defeat Eden, I estimate she must be quite old. Otherwise, without so much experience, she wouldn't have this kind of strength."

Everyone was discussing Qu Yin's identity, while Bai Qianqu finally received the news that he had won first place. However, he didn't find out by searching for it himself, but rather by hearing his colleagues excitedly shouting next to him. It was hard not to know.

"I'm number one!" Li Yang was extremely excited, though it was unclear what he was so excited about.

Bai Qianqu, as the person involved, remained calm: "Alright, alright, I know, you've said it three times already."

"You bastard! This is number one! You know, even we Anti-Entropy only get first place a few times a year!" Li Yang was very dissatisfied with Bai Qianqu's attitude, thinking that he was showing off, but he had no evidence.

Bai Qianqu couldn't say he was unhappy, after all, winning first place would benefit his future development. However, he wasn't ecstatic either, since he knew how amazing his song "The Wind Rises" truly was, and after spending so much time, this was really nothing to be proud of.

After taking first place, Bai Qianqu's song continued to demonstrate its strong chart-topping ability. Not only was it not overtaken, but it also steadily increased its downloads, gradually widening the gap with "Blooming".

This also means that Reverse Entropy's "The Wind Rises" has firmly established itself and firmly grasped the number one spot. As long as no major changes occur later, Reverse Entropy will be number one on this month's new song chart.

Qu Yin's name has entered the public eye for the first time, and the fact that he achieved such success with his first release has made many people remember his name.

These past few days, Li Yang has finally written a song. Although its quality is not as good as "The Wind Rises," it is at least of average quality within the company. He has finally completed his task and can take a breather.

Bai Qianqu had nothing to do this month, so the two of them, who had no tasks, decided to slack off together. Plus, Li Yang was practically a know-it-all at the company, so Bai Qianqu had heard a lot of gossip from him, such as who the department heads were, who didn't get along with whom, who was having a secret relationship with whom, and who was a competitor.

I'm really enjoying the gossip.

However, while he was just observing the gossip, Bai Qianqu rarely interrupted, let alone commented on others. As a newcomer, it was best for him to speak as little as possible.

Li Yang was quite satisfied with Bai Qianqu. This newcomer, although she had taken the top spot on the new song chart right away, was not arrogant or conceited. Although she was a bit quiet and didn't talk much, it was clear that she was a good person.

Later, when Li Yang talked about the company's composers, his expression immediately became hopeful.

"I'm sure you've heard of them to some extent. Our company has two S-class composers, one male and one female. The male one is Mr. Walter, who has been an S-class composer for many years and has a large number of excellent works. He is an all-rounder in songwriting and composition! Moreover, the types of songs he creates cover a particularly wide range. He is known as a walking composition library! There is no one in the world who doesn't know Mr. Walter!"

"The woman is Professor Planck. She is relatively young, but she has been an S-level composer for ten years. She is good at composing folk songs and is also an excellent S-level composer."

Bai Qianqu nodded slightly, having gained a general understanding.

In summary, even among S-class composers, there are differences in skill level. Poulenc is an average S-class composer, and his area of ​​expertise is relatively narrow.

Walter, on the other hand, is a top-tier S-class composer with a wide range of expertise. Bai Qianqu even speculated that Walter might rank among the top five S-class composers!

"And—" Li Yang said admiringly, "Professor Walter is a man with the title of 'God of Music,' which is the highest title for a composer and the ultimate goal that all composers dream of!"

Bai Qianqu had also heard of the so-called "God of Music," a special title that only S-level composers could obtain after winning the Best Composer of the Year award, and only one person was qualified to ascend to the throne of "God of Music" each year.

However, one thing to note is that those who have received the title of "God of Composition" are also eligible to participate in the selection of the best composer of the year!

Chapter 47 Qu Yin, this young man, has the bearing of a great man.

This means that among the potential candidates, seven or eight out of ten are "music gods"! And they will most likely be the best composer of the year. To become the new "music god," you have to defeat these "music gods" standing in your way. It's like you, as a composer, need to defeat a group of big names such as Wong Ka Kui, Emil Chau, Wu Qingfeng, and Wang Luobin one after another. You can imagine how difficult it is.

Of course, Bai Qianqu is only thinking about it now; he still has a long way to go if he wants to become the "God of Music".

After discussing the S-level composers, Li Yang then introduced the remaining situation in the composition department.

“Our composition department has more than 500 people, including two S-level composers, 25 A-level composers, 100 B-level composers, and the rest are C-level or D-level composers like you and me. Here, only B-level composers are qualified to find singers to sing, and singers usually find composers from the B-level when they want to commission songs. We C-level composers can only passively accept the company's songwriting tasks, just like doing odd jobs.”

As he spoke, Li Yang glanced at Bai Qianqu with great envy.

"You've taken the top spot on the new song chart. Maybe singers will approach you to write songs for them. If all goes well, you'll soon be able to escape this misery and join the ranks of the elite."

Bai Qianqu's expression was strange. He didn't mention that he had actually taken the initiative to find a singer to record a song, and that it was Lei Dian Long Ma who had agreed.

Although Rosalyn is a newcomer to Category B and her foundation is still shallow, she is a genuine Category B singer, and it's not something you can just ask her out of whenever you want.

At that moment, Li Yang's phone vibrated. He picked it up, looked at it, and laughed.

"Look, everyone in the group is talking about you."

"That group?" Bai Qianqu didn't react.

"Which other group could it be? Our composition department's group!"

Bai Qianqu belatedly realized what was happening and quickly picked it up to take a look. Sure enough, the group chat was buzzing with excitement, with everyone talking about how she had taken the top spot on the new song chart.

Li Yang slyly shouted in the group chat, "Qu Yin is spying on us!"

The group chat immediately erupted in chaos.
