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

Mao Buyi's songs have this kind of charm; they can easily touch the depths of your soul and evoke strong emotional resonance.

The song was nearing its end, and Bai Qianqu's voice gradually slowed down.

One toast to freedom, one toast to death

Forgiving my ordinariness dispelled my confusion.

Well, I always leave in a hurry after dawn

Sober people are the most ridiculous

The most absurd people are those who are sober.

After the song ended, Bai Qianqu seemed to be affected by the emotions of the song. He closed his eyes and it took him a while to suppress the turmoil of his emotions.

Although his voice was a little hoarse, it seemed surprisingly suitable for him to sing this song with his hoarse voice.

The bar was quiet except for some sobbing. Everyone stared blankly at Bai Qianqu, as if he were the center of the entire bar.

Bai Qianqu put down the microphone, bowed deeply to the crowd, and then walked off the stage.

It's unclear who started it, but scattered applause began and quickly spread. Many people smiled at Bai Qianqu and applauded from the bottom of their hearts.

Music is like that; its essence is to bring people emotion and reflection. This song vividly portrays a young person leaving their hometown, carrying the worries and burdens of all ordinary life, and moving forward with heavy burdens. It pierces everyone's heart, yet everyone willingly succumbs to it.

Walking up to Himeko, Bai Qianqu looked at Himeko, who was crying so hard she was completely drunk, and shook her head with a headache.

Will I still be able to get my bonus now?

"Hello, my name is Bronya. That song was really good."

A familiar voice came from the side, and Bai Qianqu couldn't help but look over, only to be dumbfounded.

Damn it? !

That figure, that face?

Such a broad mind?

A big duck?!

The silver-haired girl before them was none other than Bronya, now fully grown, from the post-Honkai Odyssey!

While Bai Qianqu was still in a daze, Bronya had already stood up, smiling and extending her hand.

"Hello, my name is Bronya, and I am the general manager of Anti-Entropy Entertainment."

"Hello." Bai Qianqu took a deep breath and grasped Bronya's small hand.

Bronya's hands were soft and cool, and felt especially comfortable to hold.

However, the two only shook hands politely and then let go.

Bronya looked Bai Qianqu up and down and couldn't help but smile.

You can tell at a glance that he's a new singer; he looks very nervous.

She tried to soften her tone: "I meant no harm, I just really admire your singing. Was that a new song you were singing?"

With Bronya's shrewd eye, she could obviously tell it was a new song, but she still wanted to confirm it with the person in charge.

Bai Qianqu nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes."

Most of the artworks from the original world don't exist in this world, so Bai Qianqu can move them without worry.

Bronya looked delighted. She could tell from the new song that it was of exceptionally high quality; even a typical A-level composer might not be able to write one like it!

If I can submit this song to the new song chart next month, it will definitely make it into the top three and wipe away the shame!

Looking at the somewhat reserved boy in front of her, Bronya asked gently, "I haven't asked your name yet."

"My name is Bai Qianqu."

“Okay, Mr. Bai, do you have a moment? This place isn’t really suitable for a conversation, so let’s find somewhere else to talk.”

Bai Qianqu glanced back at the drunken Ji Zi and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, and he didn't know if he would be able to get his bonus.

But let's deal with the immediate issues first.

After asking the waiter to take Himeko to rest, Shiro Chikara and Bronya left the bar and went to a nearby cafe.

After the two sat down, Bronya took the initiative to say, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Bronya Zaychek, and I am the general agent of Anti-Entropy Entertainment."

Bai Qianqu followed suit: "Then let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Qianqu, a freelance music creator."

“A music creator?” Bronya seized on the key word in Bai Qianqu’s words. “I thought you were a singer.”

“I also sing, but I prefer composing music.” Bai Qianqu pointed to herself, “The song you just heard was my composition, it’s called ‘Sorrow’.”

Chapter 4 The Status of Composers

Bronya's eyes widened as she took another look at Bai Qianqu.

His first impression is that he is very young, and to be honest, he is quite handsome.

Bronya has been in the entertainment industry for several years and has seen countless handsome men of all types, but Bai Qianqu's handsomeness is very special. It is the kind of handsome that seems nothing special at first glance, but becomes more and more pleasing to the eye the more you look at it.

Such a young music creator? I don't think there's ever been one like this in the music industry before!

Bronya steadied herself and remembered her main purpose: "Could you sell the song you just sang to Anti-Entropy? We're willing to pay the highest price, and if you'd like, you can also join Anti-Entropy with excellent benefits."

If the song "Sorrow" was indeed written by this young man, then his skill level must be very high, and if we could win him over, he would undoubtedly be a great asset.

Bai Qianqu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "May I ask who calls the shots in the music industry?"

“Who decides? The composer, of course,” Bronya answered without hesitation.

In this world, although technology has developed rapidly, the development of art and culture is lacking, even lagging behind the Earth of the past.

Take music, for example. Composers hold a very high status in this world. Generally speaking, creating a song requires three parts: lyrics, composition, and performance.

In today's world, there is a general consensus that melody comes first.

A good song can be paired with many lyrics and covered by many singers.

In other words, the composer is the soul of a song!

When a composer writes a good piece of music, many singers will compete for the right to perform it!

It's easy to cultivate a good singer; many companies have a lot of signed singers. However, composers, especially excellent composers, are very rare in a company.

After all, composers aren't something that can be trained casually!

Excellent composers are rare, and top-notch composers are even rarer!

A top-tier composer is known as a "musical god" in this world. They stand at the pinnacle of the music world, and any piece they write will attract countless admirers!

The reason Bai Qianqu asked Bronya that question was because he had already made up his mind.

He wants to switch careers and become a composer!

Since you're already linked to the system, all you need to do is keep uploading songs, and you'll eventually become a song god!

If you want to establish yourself in the entertainment industry, you have to become a top figure! Being a composer is the best choice!

Bronya looked at Bai Qianqu's smiling face and suddenly realized something.

"Do you intend to become a composer?"

Bai Qianqu smiled slightly: "Yes, is that not allowed?"

"It's possible, but do you know the ranking of composers?"

"The composer's ranking?" Bai Qianqu really didn't know, and he shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

Bronya couldn't help but cover her forehead. Was this young man really a complete novice in the music industry? He didn't even know the different levels of artists?

However, Bronya patiently explained: "In our entertainment industry, whether it's a singer, composer, or any other profession, the ranking is from high to low, divided into S-level, A-level, B-level, C-level, and D-level. D-level can only become a newcomer. Only after successfully debuting can one become C-level. After that, one can gradually improve their level based on the quality of their works."

"S-rank is the highest level, but it is not the highest title. For example, after becoming an S-rank composer, one can become a 'God of Music' through some unique means. It's too early to talk about that now."

"So if you want to become a composer, you need to have at least one song as your debut song and enter the top ten of the newcomer chart to be considered successful."

After saying this, Bronya took a sip of coffee and continued, "If you want to debut, it won't be difficult. Take that song as an example, it's a sure thing to get into the top ten of the new song chart."

Top 10 on the New Song Chart!

Bai Qianqu's heart stirred. It sounded simple, but it was actually quite difficult. The population of this world was at least tens of billions, and there were countless composers. Getting into the top ten on the new song chart was not something anyone could do.

Seeing Bai Qianqu's thoughtful expression, Bronya smiled: "Songwriters are different from singers. Singers only gain popularity after they debut, but songwriters can write songs for others even without debuting."

"Putting everything else aside, just based on the song you just sang, almost every entertainment company would extend an olive branch to you, allowing you to choose any company you like."

Bronya laughed and teased, "You probably don't know, but you're about to become a hot commodity. I'm just getting there first."

Bai Qianqu pondered for a moment. It seemed that joining Anti-Entropy was indeed a good choice. Anti-Entropy Entertainment was a top company in the music industry, and the benefits were very good. If she could get in, she would definitely have no worries about food and drink!

And most importantly—

Bai Qianqu secretly glanced at Bronya's broad chest!

For this reason alone, I can't refuse!

Thinking of this, Bai Qianqu nodded: "You're right, I agree to join Anti-Entropy, but I want to join the composition department."

“Of course, no problem.” Bronya smiled and extended her hand. “Anti-Entropy welcomes you.”

Bai Qianqu smiled and shook hands with Bronya: "Please continue to guide me in the future."

After releasing her grip, Bronya continued, "Then the next issue concerns the copyright of the new song. We, Anti-Entropy, want to buy all the copyrights to 'Sorrow' in full. Please name your price."

Bai Qianqu was taken aback. He had never sold songs before, so how would he know how much the copyright should cost?

Seeing Bai Qianqu's troubled expression, Bronya proposed another solution.

"Actually, you can also choose the subscription revenue sharing model, which is generally better than selling the copyright directly."

"Subscription revenue sharing?" Bai Qianqu blinked; he really didn't understand anything.

Bronya also knew that Bai Qianqu was a complete novice in the music industry. Novices like her are easily fooled when they first enter the entertainment industry. Luckily, she met her, otherwise she would have been taken advantage of without even knowing it.

"The subscription revenue sharing means that the copyright is retained. After the song is released, 80% of the revenue generated goes to the company, and the remaining 20% ​​is split between the songwriter and the singer."

"Generally speaking, a new songwriter accounts for 15%, and a singer accounts for 05%."

"The more people subscribe to a song, the higher the revenue share will be."

After listening to Bronya's introduction, Bai Qianqu nodded slightly. Although he also wanted to earn more, a newcomer couldn't negotiate with the company.
