The idea of getting something for free has become ingrained in his mind and brings him immense joy.
The cafeteria was packed today. Bai Qianqu waited for ages before ordering a bunch of delicious food. She sat in a corner, opened her Pilipili app, and was about to eat some rice with pickled vegetables.
"Teacher Bai!"
Before anything even started, Yingmei came over carrying a plate of food. When she saw Bai Qianqu, a happy smile appeared on her face.
Ying has recently signed with Reverse Entropy and has officially become one of Reverse Entropy's singers.
P.S. I've finally paid off last month's bills! Shouldn't I get a reward for working so hard? ( ˉ?ˉ )? (Daily vote request 1/1)
Chapter 140 Local Spring Festival Gala
Moreover, having won the championship in the new singer competition, she has received numerous invitations recently, which is nothing short of a peak start for a new singer.
However, Ying was not blinded by these thoughts; she clearly understood who was responsible for all of this.
"Ying is here too? Sit down and eat." Bai Qianqu moved aside, making room for her.
Ying didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down next to Bai Qianqu.
"Where is Kong?" Bai Qianqu looked around but didn't see Kong. She was a little puzzled.
As you should know, Sora is a sister-complex character and used to always be inseparable from Hikari.
"Him? He's been practicing with the teacher these past few days." Ying smiled. "It seems that what Teacher Qu Yin said last time motivated him. He's been as energetic as if he's been injected with chicken blood these past two days."
"Practice should be combined with rest, otherwise it is easy to damage your voice."
Ying nodded to indicate that she understood, and then asked curiously, "Teacher Qu Yin, where is Sister Bu? Didn't she come to eat with you?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu gave a wry smile: "She went out to a meeting."
"A meeting! I remember now, it seems like I'm going to a Spring Festival Gala meeting." Yingmei's eyes widened, and she slapped her palm.
"Spring Festival Gala?" Bai Qianqu was taken aback when she heard this familiar term. "Is it the kind of Spring Festival Gala that's the biggest in the country?"
He never imagined that such a large-scale event and gala would exist in this world.
"Yes, that's the biggest show of the year. Every year, many outstanding artists perform on stage, and everyone is proud to be on the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival Gala is planned and prepared several months in advance, and the selection of programs and performers is quite complicated."
"Sister Bu is just representing Anti-Entropy Entertainment to attend the meeting casually. It's the same every year, just going through the motions."
Listening to Yingmei's rambling, Bai Qianqu gained some initial understanding of the Spring Festival Gala in this world.
The Spring Festival Gala here is similar to that in the original world, and every year some famous artists are invited to participate in the performance.
In addition to performances by famous actors, the Spring Festival Gala also selects programs from the general public. For this purpose, a special variety show called "Everyone Goes to the Spring Festival Gala" was created. As long as you get a good ranking in this program, you will have the opportunity to be selected to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
However, when she thought of the Spring Festival Gala in the original world, Bai Qianqu felt a mix of emotions and a really bad feeling.
Of course, the Spring Festival Gala in this world is very rich and varied. There are no preachy programs or dumpling-making activities. Everyone's performances are wonderful, and almost everyone will stay in front of the TV with their family on that day to watch the Spring Festival Gala to ring in the new year.
In addition to the official Spring Festival Gala, various regions also launch their own unique local Spring Festival Galas, large and small, making it very lively.
However, local Spring Festival galas are usually broadcast the day before the main Spring Festival Gala to avoid clashing with the main gala and competing for viewership.
As a relatively large city in China, Changkong City naturally has its own Spring Festival Gala program.
"Speaking of which, I also received an invitation to the local Spring Festival Gala in Changkong City," Ying said somewhat embarrassedly. "I don't know the specifics. Sister Bu handled all of this by contacting the officials on my behalf. If you're interested, you can ask her when she gets back."
Hearing this, Bai Qianqu was even more surprised, "That amazing?"
Ying chuckled twice: "Originally, I wasn't qualified. The reason I received an invitation to the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala is because there's a tradition at the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala that the champion of each year's Newcomer Singer Competition can perform on stage. It's said that a newcomer singer once made an exception and participated in the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala, and as a result, he became an S-level singer in just three years. This caused quite a stir, and the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala also became famous overnight. So this tradition was kept, and the champion of the Newcomer Singer Competition is invited every year."
"Is that so? That's pretty good too. After all, it's like being on an official program." Bai Qianqu nodded affirmatively.
"It's all thanks to Teacher Qu Yin. If it weren't for Teacher Qu Yin's song, I definitely wouldn't have won the championship." Ying Ke didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Bai Qianqu, and kept a very humble attitude.
"So what are you planning to perform on stage?"
Upon hearing Bai Qianqu's question, Ying immediately looked troubled: "It's not confirmed yet. According to the official opinion, I should continue singing 'Keep Walking in the Rain,' which is said to be a positive and uplifting song that is very suitable for a stage like the Spring Festival Gala. However, I have too few songs, and the overall repertoire is somewhat thin. So I would like to ask for your advice, Teacher Qu Yin."
Bai Qianqu also fell into deep thought. Indeed, "Keep Walking in the Rain" is a very good song, and it would be appropriate to put it on the Spring Festival Gala.
However, judging from Yingmei's expectant eyes, she clearly wants to sing a new song. The fact that she came to ask me for advice means she probably wants to ask me to write a song for her.
Yingmei has indeed released too few songs, and this song marks her debut and peak. If she doesn't release enough outstanding works later on, she could easily decline.
Throughout history, countless people have had their entire careers overshadowed by the brilliance of a single work, unable to shake off the label of their masterpiece no matter what.
Yingmei clearly had the same concern; she didn't want people to only think of "Keep Walking in the Rain" when they mentioned her in the future.
Bai Qianqu thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity. If Ying could sing her new song on the Spring Festival Gala stage, she could also benefit from the Spring Festival Gala's popularity.
Isn't this a direct takeoff? Even local Spring Festival galas can generate significant viewership, otherwise so many people wouldn't be scrambling to get on them.
Besides, aren't there plenty of songs suitable for the Spring Festival Gala on our side?
LOL, we don't need any at all!
Bai Qianqu cleared her throat: "Hey Ying, I do have a new song in the works right now, do you want it?"
Ying's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly.
She subtly approached Bai Qianqu and asked, "Why? Isn't it just because of this sentence?"
"want!"
Bai Qianqu nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this; several alternative songs had already popped into his mind.
However, his choice of song was not arbitrary. To be featured on the Spring Festival Gala stage, the song had to be suitable for all ages. If he chose classical music, it would seem out of place.
Based on these conditions, and considering Yingmei's voice, the most suitable song is obvious.
Bai Qianqu also felt a little emotional. Was this song finally going to be performed? But since it was for the Spring Festival Gala, it was actually quite suitable.
"System, customize the song 'Aurora'!"
[Congratulations on your successful customization! Purchase amount: 200 million!]
"I remember I had a 5% off offer once, right?"
Chapter 141 The Strategy of Clinging to Power
The system remained silent for a moment, then let out a very unwilling smacking sound.
【Tsk! 】
[Congratulations on using the 5% discount! You've purchased 100 worth of music to customize "Aurora"! The song has been sent to your inbox, please check!]
Bai Qianqu smiled inwardly!
I didn't mention it when I customized "Counter-Strike Online" last time, and this damn system didn't say anything either. If I forgot, wouldn't I have been fooled?
Luckily, I remembered!
As the song was successfully sent, a familiar melody immediately echoed in Bai Qianqu's mind.
The thought of this inspiring song that has moved countless people resonating in this world filled Bai Qianqu with excitement.
This song is so amazing that we don't even need to mention its long list of awards. Just look at how popular it is. Who hasn't heard of this song or sung it?
Even more than a decade later, people still request this song in karaoke bars, which speaks volumes.
Bai Qianqu was overjoyed with the song in hand, but he couldn't give it to Yingmei yet. He had just presented "Reverse War," and to bring out "Aurora" so soon after would be too arrogant.
Even the most talented person couldn't be this defying the heavens, right?
Let's wait a bit. The Spring Festival Gala is in February anyway, so there's no rush.
Thinking of this, Bai Qianqu said directly, "I'm still working on this song. I'll give it to you when I'm done."
Yingfei nodded quickly. Of course, she didn't think she could get the song right now. The creation cycle of a song is very long and requires a lot of time and energy from the creator.
In her opinion, Qu Yin had released several high-quality songs in the past few months, so he must have been exhausted, otherwise there would be no news of him releasing a new song next month even though this month is almost over.
However, she was already very satisfied with receiving the promise from Teacher Qu Yin.
What Yingmei didn't know was that Bai Qianqu really had no plans to release a new song, because his new song was the theme song for "Reverse Fire".
Tencent's Counter-Strike Online is scheduled for public beta in December, which is next month.
Originally, Tencent's plan was for Ma Huateng to first conduct a public beta test of the game, and then release the theme song during the Chinese New Year. But unexpectedly, Anti-Entropy actually fulfilled the order.
This delighted Lao Ma, who naturally didn't hide it from him.
Although Lao Ma was a little disappointed that he couldn't get Qu Yin to participate, it didn't have a big impact. He was extremely satisfied with Qu Yin's song "Counter-Strike Online" and could already imagine how much of an impact the song would have on the game once it was released.
However, Lao Ma did not release "Counter-Strike Online" immediately. He planned to release the song along with the game next month to maximize the connection between the song and the game, so that people would think of the game "Counter-Strike Online" whenever they heard the song.
It was precisely because of Lao Ma's decision that many people mistakenly believed that Bai Qianqu would not release a song next month.
After all, new songs are usually promoted a month in advance; who doesn't promote a new song?
But Bai Qianqu's "Against the War" was not promoted at all.
After finishing her meal, Yingmei, having received Bai Qianqu's promise, happily returned to her office.
That's right, like Bai Qianqu, she already has her own office. Although she is currently only a C-level singer, the company made an exception and gave her an office because of her title as the champion of the new singer competition.
That's the good thing about reverse entropy: as long as you have talent, level won't be a problem.
Moreover, the company has assigned her a very capable agent, so her future looks very bright.
She sent the message to her manager about Bai Qianqu's promise to write a song for her, and the manager came over in person shortly afterward.
"I just received your message. You said that Teacher Qu Yin agreed to write a song for you for the Spring Festival Gala?" the agent asked anxiously as soon as he entered the door.
Ying smiled broadly: "Yes! Teacher Qu Yin personally agreed!"
Ying's agent is named Yu Bing, and she is an excellent agent. The company transferred her to be in charge of Ying's affairs, which shows how much they value Ying.
Yu Bing was also somewhat surprised and delighted, but still a little worried: "It's good that Teacher Qu Yin agreed to your request, but there are less than three months left until the Spring Festival Gala. Won't there be enough time?"
“If Teacher Qu Yin promised, then there’s definitely enough time.” Yingmei trusted Bai Qianqu a lot. “As long as Teacher Qu Yin writes the song, I can quickly master the techniques under his guidance!”
“You really have unconditional trust in Teacher Qu Yin,” Yu Bing said with a wry smile. “Let’s leave it at that for now. If all else fails, you still have ‘Keep Walking in the Rain’ to use, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
“I don’t want to sing that song—” Yingmei pouted. “All the commercial performances in this short period of time have been asking me to sing this song. I’m sick of it.”
"There's nothing we can do. After all, this song is your most famous song right now. Those commercial performance organizers come specifically for this song. They won't buy into it if you sing something else."
"So I'm going to get rid of this song!" Yingmei clenched her fist. "I'm going to become an all-around singer!"
"Give me a break." Yu Bing rolled her eyes. "All-around talent? You should at least sing Teacher Qu Yin's songs well first."
Yu Bing thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, there are quite a few singers participating in the Spring Festival Galas of all sizes this time. It's not easy for you, as a new singer, to be able to join them. But don't be complacent. You should know that local Spring Festival Galas are nothing. Only by performing on the biggest Spring Festival Gala can you achieve the goal that every singer dreams of."
