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

"Haha! The music has finally arrived?"

"Qu Yin hasn't said a word these past few days. Is the newcomer shy?"

"Haha, although it's a bit late, welcome to the group, newcomers."

"The new song is really great, it makes our composer department head proud!"

"Keep up the good work!"

The people in the company were very friendly, and no one was jealous of Bai Qianqu just because he was a newcomer and had made a name for himself.

This surprised Bai Qianqu. After all, in the original world, let alone the entertainment industry, anyone who stood out would attract countless jealousy.

It's not that the people in this world are particularly kind; it's mainly related to the composition department system of Anti-Entropy.

The composition department of Anti-Entropy values ​​merit above all else. As long as you are skilled enough to create good music, the overall bonus and profit sharing of the composition department will increase. In other words, everyone is a participant.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Bai Qianqu topped the new song chart increased the overall year-end bonus of the composition department by at least one million, with everyone receiving a share.

As a result, everyone naturally became very enthusiastic about the music.

At this moment, a person in the group with the title of "Administrator" and the ID "Reverse Entropy Big Sister" sent a message.

[Qu Yin's song is really good, and I've gotten some inspiration from it for my new song. Thanks! Let's talk more when I get back.]

There was a moment of silence in the group chat, and no one spoke for a while.

Bai Qianqu was puzzled. She looked at Li Yang and found that Li Yang's eyes were wide open, and he looked dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Who is this person?" Bai Qianqu asked.

Li Yang swallowed hard, about to speak, when the group chat exploded.

"Aaaaaah! Professor Planck actually spoke up! His last post was over a year ago!!!"

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, I'm so impressed! I've been with the company for a year and I've never seen an S-level composer speak before!"

"I've finally met you in person! Hello, Professor Planck! I'm a huge fan of yours!"

"Even Professor Planck is here, it seems that Qu Yin is quite lucky."

Now, Li Yang didn't need to explain anymore. Even if Bai Qianqu was stupid, she would know that this person called "Big Sister Anti-Entropy" was the company's S-level composer, Emma Planck.

Planck wasn't aloof either, and greeted everyone.

"Haha, hey little guys, have you been working hard lately? If you haven't, I'll have to give you a good test next time I go back."

Everyone expressed that they were the hardest working person in Anti-Entropy.

Bai Qianqu had already gone online to Baidu and found Planck's information a moment later, and couldn't help but gasp.

Although this master has not produced many works, every single one of them is very famous. His most famous representative work is called "Sifang" (四方), and the album of the same name contains five well-known songs, namely "Dong" (东), "Nan" (南), "Xi" (西), "Bei" (北), and "Sifang" (四方).

With this album, she single-handedly launched a top-tier S-level singer, and in the same year, she also became an S-level composer with this album.

Although he ultimately lost and didn't become the "God of Songs" that year, the difference was very small; it was just that he was a little unlucky.

Many people regard Planck as a master of music, after all, her strength is undeniable.

Bai Qianqu replied with two words in the group: "Thank you, let's discuss songs together sometime in the future."

Li Yang was taken aback, his face stiffening slightly: "Is that all you're going to say?"

"Well, what happened?"

Li Yang opened his mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

It's true that Planck invited you to have a chat, but shouldn't you have some self-awareness?

What do you need to talk to this expert about? He clearly wants to give you some guidance!

Shouldn't you be feeling humbled and respectful at this moment, indicating that you will humbly accept guidance?

How did something as mundane as a discussion turn into something else? Do you even have the qualifications to sit down and discuss things with an S-class composer?

What should have been a proper instruction was transformed into a discussion on equal footing by Bai Qianqu.

Their calm tone would make anyone else think that two S-level composers were having a chat!

However, to Li Yang's even greater surprise, Planck also quickly responded.

"Great! I look forward to our next meeting!"

Not only Li Yang, but everyone in the group was stunned.

The way these two chat is truly unpredictable.

Despite being from vastly different social classes, the two chatted so smoothly that it was impossible to find any fault with their conversation.

After racking his brains for a long time, an idea finally popped into Li Yang's mind.

Qu Yin has the air of a great man.

Chapter 48 Collective Review

At this moment, at the headquarters of Tianming Film and Television.

As the world's largest film and television company, Destiny's headquarters covers a massive 12 million square meters, including buildings, campuses, public areas, and filming centers. This vast headquarters complex is divided into 1200 zones, each with its own projects underway.

One of the projects is currently filming a youth campus movie, which is in its final stages of production.

However, what's giving the head of the project, Zofia, a headache is that the theme song for the movie has yet to be decided.

Zofia not only placed orders with Anti-Entropy, but also with Chasing Fire. The two companies sent her no fewer than ten songs, but she rejected them all.

It's not that these songs are bad, it's just that Zofia always felt something was missing.

To this end, Zofia convened a meeting of all film executives. Looking at the dozen or so influential management members in front of her, Zofia tapped on the table.

"Our movie is going to be released next month, but we still haven't decided on the theme song. What do you all think we should do?"

The group exchanged glances, and after a moment, one person spoke up: "Minister Zofia, we've received over a dozen songs, including works by A-level composers, but you've rejected them all. This—"

Zofia glanced at the man sideways: "What? You mean to say this is my problem?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." The man quickly lowered his head. As one of the four ministers, Zofia was known for her decisive and efficient work style and her strong personality. None of the executives dared to offend her.

Zofia glanced at everyone and continued, "This movie was specifically requested by President Otto, so naturally it has to be the best. The plot of the movie must be perfectly matched with the music. Don't you all think so?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no one responded.

Zofia was a little angry: "Fine, since that's the case, I'll be more democratic. I'll release all the songs and everyone can vote for them. In the end, I'll respect everyone's opinion so you won't think I'm too domineering and unreasonable!"

An executive said with a wry smile, "Minister Zofia, that's not what we meant. It's just that we don't have any better options right now, right? We don't have much time left to carefully select. You see, didn't we place another custom order with Anti-Entropy? Uh, have they sent over their work yet?"

He said the last sentence to someone else.

The person nodded quickly: "It's been sent, but it's still in the review process—"

"Don't bother with the approval process yet, just bring it over and listen to it too!" Zofia waved her hand and plopped down. "Since we don't have much time, let's skip everything else today and just listen to the theme song. Let's decide on the song right here!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and then someone hesitated before asking, "Is this a good idea?"

"What's wrong with that?" Zofia snorted. "Alright, stop dawdling and get all the songs out and play them in order!"

Left with no other choice, everyone inserted the USB drive containing the songs—a total of seventeen songs—into the computer. After connecting it to the room's speakers, Zofia pressed the play button.

The first song was written by a B-level composer, and what was released was a demo; it wasn't a full recording, but it was still clear enough for everyone to hear.

After the song ended, everyone shook their heads slightly.

Although this song is also about youthful campus romance, it is too straightforward, making it seem like two seasoned lovers are facing off, without any naivety or ambiguity.

Clearly, this song was rejected by everyone.

The next song was written by an A-list composer, and it was indeed much better than the previous one, capturing some of the awkwardness of first love, but—

One executive shook his head with some regret: "The song's rhythm is too slow. It lacks the vigor of young people and sounds more like the voice of an old man in his twilight years."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Those who were sitting here all had at least a basic ability to appreciate music. Even if they didn't have it at first, they had encountered hundreds or thousands of songs in their daily work and could learn some.

Furthermore, since they were personally involved in filming this movie and were extremely familiar with the plot, they were able to quickly identify any discordant elements between the songs and the storyline.

Soon, everyone listened to the songs one by one and rejected them one by one. Even though there were two songs that were more in line with the theme, they still had some flaws.

Finally, only one song remained, and Zofia looked at everyone.

"So, can you name a song that could be used as the theme song?"

No one spoke, but it was clear that their choices were exactly the same as Zofia's; none of them had a particular favorite song.

Zofia chuckled twice: "Now there's only one song left. After listening to it, everyone can vote. We'll choose the song with the most votes as the theme song."

No one had any objections, since the song had to be chosen eventually, regardless of whether they were satisfied or not. Otherwise, the movie couldn't be released without a theme song.

But just settling for one song like that left everyone feeling uneasy.

While everyone was deep in thought, Zofia pressed play on the last song.

The music emanated from the speakers around the room, and amidst the beautiful melody, a captivating voice rang out.

In those fleeting years, we...

How many times did I say it?

Goodbye and then delay

Unfortunately, who doesn't have it?

Love is not a single event

Eloquence on the Seven Emotions

In those fleeting years, we

In a hurry, I put it down.

An Unbearable Promise

[We can only wait for others to fulfill their promises]

As the song played, the crowd's previously casual gazes suddenly sharpened, and they even involuntarily pricked up their ears.

Zofia's expression was also somewhat strange.

I just randomly clicked on the last song, didn't I?

Why does this last song seem so different from the previous ones?
