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

"Hmph! It was just a little joke, and you're forcing me to apologize?"

"A mere composer who hasn't even debuted yet is being far too arrogant!"

At this point, all she knew was that this new composer named Bai Qianqu had written a very good song and sold it to the company, which could hopefully help the company overcome its current difficulties, making him an important figure.

Within the company, composers hold a very high status.

Generally speaking, Xing wouldn't provoke a composer, but since that composer dared to use Bronya's name to intimidate her, she acted impulsively in a moment of hot-bloodedness.

Anzu, not daring to disobey Cocolia, could only reluctantly come over to apologize.

At that moment, Xing saw through the glass in the door that a song was being recorded inside, so she pressed her face against the door and could vaguely hear the singing coming from inside.

"Hmph! I'd like to see what kind of song you wrote that made Cocolia and Bronya protect you so much!"

Xing thought indignantly.

【

I was once overwhelmed by the vastness of the world.

I also indulged in it and talked in my sleep.

Unable to distinguish truth from falsehood, unwilling to struggle, and unafraid of ridicule.

】

The ensemble of drums, piano, and guitar, surrounding Wendy's vocals, instantly brought the song to its climax.

Xing froze, lying motionless against the door like a stone statue, oblivious to the strange looks from passersby.

It wasn't until the song recording was finished that Xing came to her senses.

"What...what is this?!"

Bronya actually brought back such a monster composer?!

Could an A-level writer really write a song like this? Even if they were, it would probably be something they'd keep hidden away!

How could I have offended such a powerful person before?

Anzu's face burned with embarrassment, turning bright red. She finally understood why Cocolia had asked her to apologize.

Composers who can write songs like this are highly valued and treated like treasures by any company!

If Bai Qianqu leaves Anti-Entropy because of me, the loss would be too great!

Even if Cocolia protects herself, the board of directors won't give her any special treatment.

Thinking of this, Xing broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Bai Qianqu was chatting with Wendy in the room. After recording this song, Wendy was very impressed with Bai Qianqu.

Wendy: "Qianqu, how much do you think this song can sell for?"

Bai Qianqu counted on her fingers: "A subscription costs one yuan. If we can sell half of that, that's 600 million. The company gets 80%, and we get 20%, which is 12 billion. I get 15%, and you get 05%. I get 90 million, and you get 30 million!"

"Wow! How much fine wine could that buy?" Wendy's mouth watered.

Chapter 10 Stage Names

Bronya interrupted their daydream with a hint of annoyance.

"We don't have that much money. We have to deduct advertising costs, platform fees, labor costs, and all sorts of other miscellaneous expenses. Besides, where would we get 600 million subscribers? A song ranked number one on the new song chart would be lucky to get 10 million subscribers!"

Bai Qianqu was immediately embarrassed. Although she was a little disappointed after hearing Bronya's words, ten million subscriptions was not bad. At least she could get several hundred thousand in revenue!

For me, it was an astronomical sum of money!

Wendy was just as excited; he was penniless too! He'd already spent all his money on alcohol!

The two, who shared similar tastes, exchanged a glance and gave each other a passionate handshake.

Bronya couldn't help but sigh, rubbing her forehead.

What kind of people did the company hire this time?

At this moment, Bai Qianqu also saw Xing standing blankly outside the door, and was somewhat surprised.

Although Xing did that to him that morning, Bai Qianqu wasn't actually angry. He could understand this child with such a complicated background.

After all, anyone would become ruthless if they experienced those things in their childhood.

Overall, aside from being a bit sharp-tongued, arrogant, and having some bad personality traits, Xing is essentially a good person.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qianqu pushed open the door and greeted Xing: "Hello, I was in too much of a rush this morning and didn't introduce myself. My name is Bai Qianqu, and I'm the new composer."

Xing was surprised that Bai Qianqu would take the initiative to talk to her, and she was immediately flustered, like a child who had done something wrong and had been caught, not knowing what to do.

What she feared even more was that Bai Qianqu would not forgive her.

After some hesitation, Xing still took Bai Qianqu's hand.

"Hello, my name is Anne Mar, from the security department, um, about this morning, I'm sorry."

When Xing spoke the last three words, her voice was almost inaudible, but Bai Qianqu still understood.

He smiled gently: "It's alright, now that we're acquainted, we should help each other out if needed."

Xing looked up in surprise. Because of her personality, everyone avoided her like the plague. No one was willing to get close to her, let alone offer any help.

Moreover, she could see that Bai Qianqu's smile was pure and without any impurities, which made her long-dormant heart beat again.

Not knowing what to do, she could only lower her eyes and nod haphazardly, saying, "Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Xing mustered up her courage and looked at Bai Qianqu again, whispering, "Um, the song you wrote is very nice."

Bai Qianqu nodded confidently: "Of course, I will write more new songs in the future!"

Xing felt as if the boy in front of her was shining, a feeling she had only ever seen in Bronya before.

This left her somewhat stunned.

"Ahem! Can I let go of your hand now?"

Bronya appeared behind Bai Qianqu and looked at their still-holding hands. Suddenly, she felt a surge of displeasure, though she couldn't explain why.

Bai Qianqu and Xing quickly let go of each other's hands, and a faint blush appeared on Xing's face, which was extremely rare.

"I'm leaving now." Xing turned and ran away as if fleeing, leaving Bai Qianqu somewhat embarrassed.

Bronya rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. After all, she wasn't Bai Qianqu's girlfriend and had no right to interfere.

"If there's nothing else, let's go sign the contract."

Bai Qianqu's spirits lifted! Only by signing the contract could he truly be considered to have entered the realm of reverse entropy.

The two quickly arrived at the personnel department, and just as Bronya had said, he signed a Class C composer contract. The process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

Bai Qianqu also carefully looked at the profit-sharing section of the contract. As expected, the composer would receive 15% of the profits, while the singer would only receive 05%. Both were novices, which showed the difference in status between the composer and the singer.

However, if a singer can sing a good song, they can gain a lot of popularity. With popularity, they can get various commercial endorsements, and the money earned from commercial endorsements is the real money.

Therefore, both composers and singers have their advantages and disadvantages, but in the process of creating a song, the composer is undoubtedly the first choice.

Seeing that there were no problems with the contract, Bai Qianqu signed it without hesitation.

Upon seeing Bai Qianqu, Bronya finally breathed a sigh of relief. She happily said, "That's good. From now on, you're part of Anti-Entropy. Next, we'll send the song we just recorded for review. If there are no problems, we'll hurry up and arrange the promotion so that it's ready before the release next month."

Bai Qianqu was completely clueless about this and could only nod in agreement.

Bronya was even happier to see that Bai Qianqu hadn't said anything.

Some composers, after writing a song they think is good, will demand exorbitant promotional resources from the company. Compared to them, Bai Qianqu is truly a well-behaved child.

Bronya thought for a moment and said, "To welcome you to Anti-Entropy and to celebrate the successful recording of your first song, let's go out for dinner together tonight."

Upon hearing Bronya's invitation, Bai Qianqu immediately agreed, even feeling a little excited.

“By the way!” Bronya asked again, “Do you want to choose a stage name? You can use it when you release your work in the future. Of course, you can also release your work using your real name.”

"Stage name?" Bai Qianqu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

I really need to choose a stage name; I don't want to use my real name directly, it feels a bit embarrassing.

Bai Qianqu rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

"As for a stage name, I'll call it Qu Yin."

“Quyin? Sounds nice.” Bronya repeated with a smile, “It just sounds a bit like a girl’s voice.”

"That's how we preserve the mystery as much as possible," Bai Qianqu said playfully.

"Fine, whatever you want." Bronya gestured to the HR department to write down this stage name, so that Bai Qianqu would appear under this name in all future song releases.

After signing the contract, Bai Qianqu said goodbye to Bronya and returned to the composition department on the twentieth floor alone.

Although he really wanted to go home, he hadn't finished get off work yet.

Upon arriving at the composition department, Bai Qianqu saw Raiden Ryoma standing in the hall, seemingly talking to everyone. When he saw Bai Qianqu approaching, Raiden Ryoma waved him over and pointed to an empty seat in the corner.

"Bai Qianqu, this will be your office from now on. Today is your first day here, and you should have time to familiarize yourself with the company environment, but our department has an urgent meeting, so you will also have to attend."

Chapter 11 A Custom Made by Fate

After saying that, Raiden Ryoma hurriedly left, probably to prepare for the meeting.

Bai Qianqu walked to his seat in a daze and sat down. His seat was in the corner with his back to the wall, but Bai Qianqu liked the feeling of being alone in the corner where no one would notice him.

However, it was obvious that Bai Qianqu's idea had failed. As soon as he sat down, his colleague came over to talk to him.

"Hi, newbie, my name is Kaiya, what's yours?"

Bai Qianqu looked at the man next to her, who was wearing an eye patch and had blue curly hair, and was once again full of question marks.

What is all this? It's one thing for Wendy to become a singer, at least she's good at singing, but you, a roughneck, are you serious about becoming a composer?

Just as Bai Qianqu was in a state of confusion, someone ran over and chased Kaiya away.

"Kaiya, you're causing trouble in our composition department again! I'll complain to your boss if you're not careful!"

Kaiya then stuck out her tongue and stood up: "Don't be so angry, I didn't do anything."

With that, Kaiya winked at Bai Qianqu and ran off in a flash.

The person who returned sighed and sat down, giving Bai Qianqu an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, this guy is a singer in the company. He always likes to run around. My name is Li Yang. Nice to meet you."

"My name is Bai Qianqu." Bai Qianqu politely introduced herself to her colleagues and asked about the emergency meeting.
