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

The two stood and waited for a while, but for some reason the elevator was unusually slow today.

Just as Bai Qianqu was getting impatient, Shen Li Linghua suddenly spoke. Her voice was very soft and gentle, but Bai Qianqu heard it clearly.

"Teacher Qu Yin, am I very stupid?"

Bai Qianqu didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Shen Li Linghua didn't seem to want Bai Qianqu to answer either, and she lowered her head and spoke to herself.

"I know I can't fight against the elders in the family on my own, but I still want to give it a try."

"Actually, Miss Bronya is right. I was too naive. I've always been sheltered in a greenhouse, where everyone treated me very well. This made me underestimate the wickedness of human nature. I probably don't know how to deal with these things at all."

"But every time I see my brother's furrowed brow as he deals with housework until late at night, I know I have to do something, even if it's just a little bit, as long as it can help in the slightest."

"I am not a gifted person. I can't memorize lyrics, my handwriting is not good, and my swordsmanship is completely chaotic. I can only keep working hard. If I can't memorize a poem once, I will memorize it fifty times. If I can't write a character well once, I will practice it fifty times. If I can't use a swordsmanship well once, I will practice it fifty times. I firmly believe that diligence can make up for lack of talent."

Bai Qianqu said nothing, just listened quietly to Linghua talking to herself.

"My elder brother didn't like socializing, so I did my best to help him receive guests and handle household affairs. Although I was always flustered and caused a lot of laughs, both my brother and the servants were very tolerant of me. Gradually, I learned a lot. Although this period was tough, it was the experience I cherish the most."

A faint smile appeared on Ayaka Kamisato's face, but it quickly disappeared. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, as cold as snow in winter, and her tone became icy as well.

"I will never allow anyone to ruin all of this! Never!"

"Ding!"

The elevator finally arrived, and the sound of the doors opening startled Ayaka Kamisato. She then realized that she had unknowingly revealed her true feelings while talking, and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I said some nonsense and bothered Teacher Qu Yin!"

Bai Qianqu shook his head; he truly admired the young girl in front of him.

It's astonishing that someone so young already has such awareness. In their early twenties, most people at that age are probably still carefree in school, and even if they're just starting out in society, they don't face much pressure.

But Ayaka has just experienced the pain of losing her parents, and now she is facing a situation where everyone has abandoned her. Yet she still perseveres and does not succumb to fate.

Faced with such a strong young girl, Bai Qianqu felt that any words of comfort would be inadequate, so he simply offered a suggestion in a low voice.

"I like to listen to music when I'm in a bad mood, why don't you try it?"

Looking into Bai Qianqu's pure and innocent eyes, Shenli couldn't help but nod, and his tense face relaxed.

Although Bai Qianqu didn't say anything to comfort her, Shen Li Linghua felt very comfortable and relaxed standing with him. The feeling of being restricted outside disappeared, and she could completely let go and speak freely. In a daze, she seemed to have returned to her childhood and the scene of acting spoiled in front of her parents.

A carefree time, where you don't have to care about anything.

After seeing Ayaka Kamisato off, Shiro Chiku returned to Bronya's office.

Bronya quickly asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Seeing Bai Qianqu shake her head, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. This young lady must not get into trouble. Although the conservatives in the Kamisato family don't like her now, they still have a group of loyal supporters who support the siblings. If the two sides really fight, it's hard to say who will win."

Seeing that Bai Qianqu did not speak, Bronya changed the subject.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Now I have some good news to tell you!"

Bronya's face lit up with a delighted expression: "Congratulations! Your song 'Those Fleeting Years' has made it into the top ten in the Battle of the Lesser Gods!"

Although Bai Qianqu already knew, seeing Bronya's high spirits, she couldn't let her down, so Bai Qianqu put on a very surprised expression.

Bronya: "? Why does it feel like you're acting?"

"Haha, no, no, making it into the top ten was a pleasant surprise."

Bronya nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I didn't expect to actually make it into the top ten. This result is really dazzling, you'll have something to brag about from now on."

Bai Qianqu was speechless. He wasn't interested in bragging; he was very interested in the dividends!

The song has now surpassed 30 million subscriptions and downloads. In a normal month, this would be a sure-fire number one achievement, but in October, it only ranked eighth!

This shows just how terrifying the war of the lesser gods was!

However, Bai Qianqu was quite satisfied. With these downloads, he could receive a dividend of 4.5 million! Even after taxes, it would still be over 3 million!

With last month's dividends and customized bonuses, his assets are almost ten million!

Chapter 86 Contract Enhancement

“The company’s upper management is very satisfied with your performance this time,” Bronya continued, “so I took the opportunity to ask for a different contract for you!”

As she spoke, Bronya produced a brand new contract.

"Although the application for Grade B will have to wait until after the Newcomer Singer Competition next month, we can discuss the subscription revenue sharing now."

Bai Qianqu took the contract and looked at it. Everything else was the same, except that the subscription revenue share had changed from 15% to 20%.

Although it's only a small 5% change, the total amount is huge! Originally, he could only receive 450 million this time, but with this 5% increase, he can receive 600 million! That's a full 150 million more!

Moreover, this is only a C-level contract. A 20% revenue share is already the highest-level revenue share for a C-level contract, which most companies would never agree to.

Bronya wiped her nose and straightened her back: "How about it? Is this contract okay? This is already the best in C-level. When you reach B-level, I will personally negotiate a contract for you."

Bai Qianqu was deeply moved: "Thank you, Bronya, you are so kind."

Bronya blushed slightly: "Hehe, it's nothing. You can check the contract first to see if there are any problems. If there are no questions, just sign it, and the contract will take effect immediately."

Bai Qianqu nodded, glanced at the contract casually, and then signed Qu Yin's name on it.

He remembered what Bronya had said: S-rank characters get all the revenue from the songs! One day, he would take all the download revenue for himself and not let anyone else have a single penny!

While Bai Qianqu was daydreaming about monopolizing all the profits, the finance department of Anti-Entropy was in a state of gloom and despair.

The deputy minister of the finance department had a bitter expression on his face. He was still shaken by what had just happened.

Just now, Bronya stormed in and, without saying a word, demanded a top-tier C-level contract from Qu Yin.

He wanted to try to dissuade him, but after being glared at, he didn't dare utter a single word.

There was no way around it; Bronya's authority in Anti-Entropy was still very high. Not only was she Chairman Walter's student, but she had also just achieved outstanding results for two consecutive months, making her incredibly popular. No one dared to offend her.

This is exactly the kind of situation the vice minister fears most.

Generally, when artists want to change their contracts, they have to come to the finance department in person to discuss it. The finance department, for the sake of the company's interests, will try its best to reduce the share of profits in the contract. The two sides often have to go through a lot of heated arguments before finally reaching a compromise figure.

However, when it comes to negotiating with an agent, the situation becomes very polarized. Some agents, while advocating for the artist's rights, won't go too far out of consideration for the company, and will just write something roughly correct. But some agents are much more shrewd.

They already hold high positions and are not afraid of the company. Moreover, in order to do a favor for their artists, they often drastically increase the percentage of profits they receive, since ultimately the company is the one paying out.

Bronya, as the company's head agent, holds an even more prestigious position. However, she rarely comes in person to negotiate contracts; this is the first time.

But judging from Bronya's current assertive stance, there's absolutely no room for negotiation.

The deputy minister of the finance department dared not oppose Bronya, and with the only minister who usually had a voice, Einstein, absent, he dared not speak up even more.

Therefore, Bronya easily obtained the top-tier C-level contract. After Bronya left, the deputy minister, with trembling hands, called Einstein. When the call connected, the deputy minister said in a voice that was almost crying:

"Minister, something terrible has happened!"

Einstein, on the other end of the phone, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is the tax bureau auditing our accounts? Didn't they just do it last month?"

"No, no! It's much more serious than a tax audit!" The deputy minister was on the verge of tears. "Sister Bu just came by and took away a top-tier C-level contract!"

Einstein paused for a moment, then said, "Was it the contract you proposed to Qu Yin?"

The deputy minister quickly replied, "Yes, yes! Minister, you're amazing! You guessed it right away! That's right, it's Qu Yin's contract. Sister Bu raised his C-level commission to 20%!"

“This is nothing. Bronya has never personally negotiated contracts with anyone. I doubt she would care about anyone else except Qu Yin. After all, Qu Yin was discovered by her own hands. The further Qu Yin goes, the more it proves that Bronya has a good eye.”

Einstein paused for a few seconds, then continued, "Don't worry about Qu Yin's contract. Bronya's involvement means the higher-ups must have agreed. Alright, from now on, don't worry about Qu Yin's contracts. As long as Bronya personally negotiates them, just approve them."

"Huh? Department head, isn't this against company rules?" The deputy department head was extremely surprised.

“Rules are rigid, but people are flexible,” Einstein said weakly. “Would you dare object if Bronya came to discuss the contract? Besides, Qu Yin is currently riding high, and the higher-ups highly approve of him. It’s definitely not worth offending him over a mere contract. Okay, I’ll hang up now, I have other things to do.”

The deputy minister stared blankly at the phone that had already been hung up.

Several minutes later, he muttered to himself, "We've got a little daddy in Anti-Entropy."

While Bai Qianqu was signing her contract, Rosalin was also signing hers.

When "Fleet of Time" entered the top ten, her agent realized something.

Rosalyn is going to be a star!

Sure enough, as the song's popularity soared, calls from advertisers came in like crazy, often one call would be on while another was already ringing.

This is where an agent's ability to handle situations is put to the test. Rosalyn's agent is very capable; she managed to take on all these jobs by herself, and she also sorted out the business deals in an orderly manner, selecting the most suitable ones and confirming the intention to cooperate.

It has to be said that Bronya's agents are all incredibly capable.

She printed out the contract and handed it directly to Rosalyn for her signature, until Rosalyn's hand ached from signing so many times.

However, Rosalyn did not complain at all; she was radiant.

Is that a signature? It's a bunch of checks!

A single commercial performance can easily generate millions in net profit!

Chapter 87 Rosalind's Cheat Code

When Rosalyn entered the top ten, she herself could hardly believe it. She even rubbed her eyes and looked at it three times before she was sure she wasn't dreaming.

"I made it into the top ten?!"

The agent was already beaming with joy: "It's in! It's in!"

At this moment, Rosalind became overjoyed: "I'm eighth! I'm eighth in the Battle of the Lesser Gods!"

The two of them were so engrossed in their joy that they forgot all about signing any contracts.

Suddenly, Rosalyn shouted.

"Teacher Qu Yin is awesome!"

The agent paused for a moment, then laughed and joined in shouting, "Teacher Qu Yin is awesome!"

It's no wonder the two were so overjoyed. For a B-level singer to be able to get into the top ten in such a competition is simply a pipe dream. I wouldn't say there will be no one like them in the future, but there is definitely no one like them before.

This is the first time a B-level singer has made it into the Battle of the Little Gods! Even Eden back then had to write a song for an A-level singer to sing in order to get into the top ten of the Battle of the Little Gods that year, and even the top three.

The industry was in complete shock at this time.

Who would have thought that a C-level composer, accompanied by a B-level singer, could beat more than a dozen people and break into the top ten?

If someone had said that to them in the past, they would have definitely suspected that the person was out of their mind.
