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

Bronya assumed Bai Qianqu thought the same way, after all, what good games could a composer like him make? However, seeing how enthusiastically Bai Qianqu was recommending it to her, Bronya put the USB drive away so as not to spoil his fun.

Seeing this, Bai Qianqu didn't pester her. He believed that Bronya would definitely fall in love with the game after playing it.

After all, no one can resist using a bird to smash a pig's head.

This game is just so addictive.

Chapter 23 The Court Lyricist and Composer

After leaving Bronya's office, Bai Qianqu took the roster, found Rosalin's phone number, and called her directly.

The call was answered quickly, and Rosalyn's lazy voice came through.

"Hello, what brings you here?"

“It’s me, Bai Qianqu. We met in front of Bronya’s gate.”

Rosalyn was lying on the sofa watching a soap opera listlessly when she heard Bai Qianqu's words, and she immediately perked up.

"It's you! Bronya's little puppy!"

Bai Qianqu's forehead was covered with black lines.

When did I acquire this strange title?

But it sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

No! What are you thinking?!

Bai Qianqu coughed and said, "I would like to ask you to record a song."

“Record a song? No interest.” Rosalyn yawned. She had just been stripped of her singing rights and was in a bad mood. She really had no interest in singing.

"Really? Then I'll send the song to your email first, and you can take a look before deciding." Bai Qianqu didn't give up immediately. "I wrote this song."

"You wrote this song? You're a composer?" Rosalyn was now a little interested. "Okay, send it over so I can take a look."

Actually, quite a few composers have asked Rosalyn to record songs for them. After all, a singer like her who has just become a B-level artist is highly sought after by many C-level composers.

Because Anti-Entropy did not promote Bai Qianqu's songs extensively, most people, except for a few specific individuals, were unaware of Bai Qianqu's existence. As a result, Rosalin naturally regarded Bai Qianqu as an ordinary C-level composer who had approached her for collaboration.

A short while later, Rosalyn received the song from Bai Qianqu. She downloaded the song to her desktop and was about to watch it when her manager pushed open the door and said wearily, "Rosalyn, you rejected the theme song offer for the movie. What about your song next month? You promised your fans that you would release a new song next month."

"It's almost the end of the month now, most composers have already found collaborating artists, and you don't have any familiar composers to work with, so it's difficult to get new songs at this time of year."

The agent kept rambling on and on, looking like he was carrying a heavy burden of resentment.

It has to be said that Rosalyn's agent has gone to great lengths for her career development.

Singers like her, who are considered mid-tier or average in the entertainment industry, are actually quite numerous; there are as many as two hundred of them within the Anti-Entropy organization alone.

With so many singers, if you want to stand out and rise to the top, you either need to get help from capital, with someone willing to spend money to promote you; or you need to have various connections, with a powerful father who can help you take off.

At this level, technical skills are important, but they are not the decisive factor. After all, everyone is at level B, and unless you have something unique, you are all pretty much the same.

Which of those A-level or S-level singers doesn't have a few lyricists and composers working behind them?

Most notably, Jay Chou, the original world's most famous artist, had the support of renowned figures like Vincent Fang and Huang Yuxun.

It can be said that Jay Chou's success is inseparable from the help of these two masters.

Rosalyn's voice is very distinctive, with a bright, sweet, and lustrous timbre. Her mid and low notes are natural and soft, while her high notes, as well as her breathy and falsetto mixed with a touch of her true voice and resonance, are very powerful. Her voice is clear and resonant, and she can easily handle various challenging songs with great control.

Even if a singer like her doesn't become a top star, she's more than capable of being a moderately famous singer. However, it's her temperament that has prevented her from taking her career to the next level.

Many composers stopped collaborating with her after a few times, because no one can stand a free-spirited singer who speaks her mind all the time, making her hard to get close to.

As for building connections outside, she disdains it. Once, a director asked her to drink with him, and she simply turned her back and left.

The entertainment industry is all about talent, but it's also about interpersonal relationships. Rosalyn's temperament isn't really suited for this industry; she's better suited to pursuing pure art.

Rosalyn knew that her agent was doing it for her own good, but she just couldn't accept those messy things.

The agent said with a wry smile, "I'm really worried right now. The company's composers are all scared of you. Even C-level composers don't want to hire you to sing. What are you going to do about your new song next month if this continues?"

"Who said no?" Rosalyn said somewhat awkwardly, but then suddenly remembered something and quickly straightened her back. "Someone just contacted me to ask me to sing a song!"

The agent looked suspicious: "Who is it?"

“A little boy named Bai Qianqu!” Rosalyn seemed quite proud, after all, this was the first time in two months she had received an invitation from a composer. “I plan to go and take a look!”

“I told you not to call others ‘little brother’,” the manager sighed. “Even a C-level composer’s status is no less than that of a B-level singer, and may even be higher.”

However, the agent breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Rosalyn had secured a deal.

"When you go to record the song later, be careful not to say anything you shouldn't. Just sing honestly and nod when the composer says something."

The agent clearly remembered that when Rosalyn was recording a song last time, she directly questioned the composer's understanding of the song because the composer said a few extra words.

For a singer to question a composer's ability to understand a song is considered quite outrageous in the entertainment industry.

Rosalyn knew what her manager was thinking, but she still said indignantly, "That guy's understanding of the song was flawed to begin with, I was just correcting him!"

The agent rolled his eyes, speechless with exasperation.

On the other hand, after sending the email to Rosalin, Bai Qianqu waited idly for her reply. He was quite confident in his song, and he was sure Rosalin wouldn't refuse if she took a look.

It's okay if he refuses; it just means Rosalyn and he weren't meant to be.

He was currently reading a book called "How Art Is Made," which is an introductory book to art education. The professional knowledge in the book is relatively simple and easy to understand, and he didn't find it too difficult to read.

I also know the author of this book, Bai Qianqu, who is none other than the famous artist Eden.

As a leading artist of an era, Eden not only created many excellent works, but also put a lot of effort into art education. For example, this book is aimed at many beginners. Many people developed a strong interest in art after reading this book and embarked on the path of art.

Li Yang leaned over and saw Bai Qianqu engrossed in the book. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Old Bai, I didn't expect you to have this book too. I wanted to become a composer after reading this book. Are you one of them?"

Chapter 24 Fishing Accidentally Leads to Big Brother's Room

"Uh, yeah." Bai Qianqu chuckled dryly. Actually, this was the first time he had read it, and the book was still brand new.

"I have to say, Eden is amazing! Not only is she beautiful, but she's also the youngest S-class composer!"

When Eden is mentioned, Li Yang can't help but reveal a lecherous look.

"Teacher Eden is my goddess! I wish we could work at the same company."

Bai Qianqu looked puzzled: "Eden is a place that chases fire, right? Why don't you go there?"

At this point, Li Yang's face fell.

"I can't go. Sigh. Don't be fooled by the fact that I was able to get into the Anti-Entropy composition department and seem pretty impressive. But if I were in Chasing Fire, I'd be nothing. Although I don't want to admit it, Chasing Fire's overall strength is much stronger than our Anti-Entropy. To get into their composition department, you need at least one song with over five million downloads."

"Five million?" Bai Qianqu wasn't very familiar with song download numbers, only knowing that in the original world, download numbers were often in the hundreds of millions.

Seeing Bai Qianqu's expression, Li Yang assumed he was complaining about the low number of downloads and chuckled, "You haven't released any work yet, so you might not understand. After our songs are released on the platform, each paid download counts as one download. Every account must be linked to your real name and ID card. Moreover, we strictly control vote-rigging here; if you get caught, you could go to jail. So, the download count for a song is very valuable. The number of downloads basically equals the number of people listening to your song."

"Five million downloads, does that mean five million people paid to download it?" Bai Qianqu was shocked. This number was indeed incredible. You have to know that the permanent population of a large city is basically only ten to twenty million.

Li Yang nodded with a wry smile: "Yeah, five million basically means you have to be in the top ten of the new song chart. Do you understand how difficult that is? There are so many people in our company. To be in the top ten, you need to be at least a B-level or higher. We C-levels can only look on."

Bai Qianqu remained silent, but her heart was far from calm. She felt ashamed thinking about how she had told Wendy about hundreds of millions of downloads at the beginning.

To reach hundreds of millions of downloads, you'd probably need to produce a globally renowned hit song, right?

Bai Qianqu remembered those amazing songs in the mall, but the customization fees were astronomical, something she couldn't afford right now.

Just as he was feeling dazed, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Rosalyn.

After the call connected, Rosalyn's lazy voice came from the other end.

"Little brother Bai Qianqu, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept your invitation."

Bai Qianqu blinked, wondering if she should express her gratitude.

Unfortunately, Rosalyn didn't give Bai Qianqu a chance to thank her, saying directly, "No need for thanks, let's go straight to the recording studio. I still have a lot to do after we finish recording."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Qianqu was a little confused. Something seemed off. Wasn't it said that composers had a high status?

However, he didn't think much of it and picked up the phone to contact Seele, saying that he wanted to record a song and hoped that Seele would bring a band over.

He then went directly to the recording studio, where Rosalyn was already there, looking down at her phone. When she saw Bai Qianqu coming over, she quickly put down her phone.

"Little brother, you've finally arrived! You're so slow!"

Bai Qianqu smiled wryly; Rosalin's mouth was still as sharp as ever.

"Sister, have you seen the song?" Bai Qianqu asked, following Rosalin's lead, without paying any attention.

"A song? Oh! I rushed over in a hurry, I haven't printed it yet." Rosalyn realized, she hadn't even had time to look at it before she rushed over.

"Alright, then you should hurry up and familiarize yourself with the music. The band will be here soon." Bai Qianqu handed the song to Rosalin. "You can ask me if you don't understand anything."

Rosalyn nodded, took the paper, and glanced at it casually.

In her opinion, what difficulty could a song by a C-level composer possibly have? She could easily handle it.

However, when she first saw the lyrics, she froze, standing motionless like a wooden doll.

Rosalyn remained motionless until Seele brought the band in, until Bai Qianqu stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

"Sister, are you alright?" Bai Qianqu asked with some concern. The recording was about to start, but the singer seemed a bit off.

Rosalyn quickly said, "This song was written by you, no, you wrote it?"

Bai Qianqu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Rosalyn's eyes held a hint of confusion.

I thought I was there to fish and kill fish, but I ended up accidentally entering my brother's room?

Rosalyn looked at Bai Qianqu, still somewhat uncertain, and pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Can I sing this kind of song myself?

Even A-level singers probably haven't seen songs of this caliber many times, right?

"Am I suitable to sing this song?"

Seeing that Rosalin seemed quite confused, Bai Qianqu assumed it was due to nervousness and comforted her, "This song suits your voice quite well. Just sing it normally. If there are any problems, we can adjust it."

Rosalyn gritted her teeth.

What's wrong with me? I've always felt like my talents are going to waste, like I've never had the right songs to sing. Now that I've finally found a really good song, why am I suddenly so timid?

Wasn't this the opportunity I'd been waiting for all along?

Now that the opportunity has come, shouldn't we seize it with all our might?
