Chapter 82 121 Composers
"Hello everyone, this is the live broadcast of 'Interstellar Composer'!"
Let's welcome the composers we've invited to this episode!

First up is the empire's legendary composer, Master Karl!

[Ahhh, it's Karl Lagerfeld! We get a new song to listen to!]
[Even at 150 years old, Master Karl is still as handsome as ever.]
[Our Best Actress eats so well!]
[Tsk tsk, it seems this year's champion is a foregone conclusion again.]
……

"Our second guest is also an old friend of our program. Please welcome our teacher, Jones!"

Jones is also a top-tier teacher in the Empire, having once achieved the number one spot on the new song chart for fifteen consecutive months.

The highest record in the music industry is held by Karl Lagerfeld, who once topped the new song charts for eighteen consecutive months.

Of course, this is just the foundation for becoming a great composer.

Being number one on the new song chart for twelve consecutive months is the ticket to becoming a master composer.

"Next, please..."

……

"The last composer of the Empire is our newly crowned Diamond-level composer from last year, a Finnish master."

[Miss Finland, with mermaid genes, is absolutely stunning!]
No one can resist a mermaid-orc with a heavenly voice~~
[Miss Finland, I love you!!!]
Despite being 67 years old this year, Finland still has many suitors.

"Next, please welcome the composer from the Mechanical Race among all races..."

Not every race is invited to the Myriad Races event; those races that are on the verge of extinction are not even worth as much as a small planet.

Only the most powerful races that rank high in the hierarchy have diplomatic relations.

Therefore, not many races were invited.

Furthermore, not all invited races will necessarily participate in the program, and even if some do come, only one or two people may attend.

So in the end, only 103 composers came.

"Next, let's welcome Mr. Xini, a diamond-level composer from the Federation!"

That's right, the two veteran composers at Tianwen Entertainment haven't actually been promoted to master composers yet.

Of course, in the Federation, diamond-level composers are already hidden geniuses.

Their family members basically all secured a spot at number one on the December new song chart.

However, in the year-end competition, he was unable to take the top spot for three consecutive years because of the obstruction from the Empire's composers.

Therefore, the composers in the Federation are basically at the diamond level, which is the highest level.

"The composer Antonio from the Federation..."

……

Towards the end, the host paused noticeably, his tone somewhat strange, as if he doubted his own eyes as he read:

"Finally, let's welcome Ms. Jiang Qin, a bronze-level composer from the Federation!"

[What? The host misread it, right? Bronze level?]
[Wow, which company in the Federation does this Ms. Jiang Qin work for? Did they give up and just send in a newcomer to fill their resume?]
[Fine, fine, is the Federation looking down on us? Sending a Bronze-level player like this.]
[Tianwen is really stubborn; despite so much opposition, they still haven't replaced him.]
[I'm furious! I was already ashamed to face the empire, and now I'm even more ashamed.]
[I have this strange urge to hide my address...]
Amidst the astonishment of Imperial netizens and the indignation of Federal netizens, Jiang Qin stepped onto the stage wearing a white cheongsam with blue flowers.

Her hair, as black as silk, cascaded down her back, and a white hairpin with a small pendant was inserted into her hair when it was tied up.

The earrings were also white jade pendants, which stood out against her black hair.

She was wearing a pair of stiletto heels that matched the style of her cheongsam.

She looked like a woman who had just stepped out of an ancient town.

Although the interstellar people didn't know what women in Jiangnan looked like thousands of years ago, they had seen ancient paintings.

Finally, someone has recreated the clothing from the ancient painting! In my imagination, this is what a cheongsam should look like—dignified and elegant.
Which company in the federal government makes these clothes? I'd like to buy some.
[Could this bronze-level composer have gotten the spot by virtue of his good looks?]
[If we're talking about looks, I'd say she's beautiful; a classic Eastern beauty~]
[Black hair can be quite beautiful too.]
After introducing these hundred-plus composers, the performances began one by one.

Jiang Qin found it quite terrifying. There were 103 composers from all races, plus 9 from the Federation and 9 from the Empire, making a total of 121 composers.

That means everyone will have to listen to 121 songs!

Each song is approximately five minutes long.

However, all the songs performed today will be uploaded to the StarNet separately, and only the songs with the highest popularity rankings in the top 100 will be selected to participate in the program.

Therefore, the selected songs must be pleasant to listen to and unique enough.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to stand out from so many songs, and the judges and audience would easily experience auditory fatigue.

In the end, I guess no one would be able to hear what they were singing anymore.

***
Tonight's performance order is based on the composer's level; if they are at the same level, it is based on the time they advanced to the next round.

Therefore, Jiang Qin, being at the bronze level, is undoubtedly the last one.

However, she felt that the order was fine. With so many people, it was actually the people in the very middle who were less likely to be remembered.

Both the beginning and the end are more memorable.

Everyone was seated properly. The first to appear was a veteran superstar from the Empire, who sang a song composed by Karl…

It still maintains the Empire style, with sci-fi lyrics and a cool tone with a heavy use of synthesized sounds.

The entire stage was filled with passion.

……

What shocked Jiang Qin the most was that the Empire had several singers with mermaid genes.

That voice—it's effortless for her to sing the dolphin voice.

Fortunately, once the show officially started, the singers who would be collaborating with the contestants were randomly selected, rather than being fixed.

Otherwise, the singers' talent alone would have given the empire's composers a 50% boost.

However, there are still some flaws.

Jiang Qin clearly noticed that some songs did not match the singers' voices.

For example, the song "Silence" by the Finnish composer from the Empire is a rather somber piece, suitable for a somewhat deep and melancholic voice.

However, she chose a female mermaid singer whose voice was ethereal and clear.

It is more suitable for the lively style of music in the forest genre.

The combination of the two pieces did not bring out the style of the music.

This is a misconception. Most composers will choose singers with good singing skills.

That makes sense, though; if you don't even have singing skills, how can you talk about being suitable?

***
The people on stage have changed one after another.

The songs by the six diamond-level composers from the Federation have already been performed, leaving only the two gold-level composers to join her in line.

Finally, after everyone had gone up, the host announced:

"The last person to perform was Ms. Jiang Qin, who brought her own song, 'Blue and White Porcelain.'"

Viewers who like this song can vote for it on the official account in five minutes!
