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

Bai Qianqu's seat didn't have much stuff to begin with, so he simply moved it into the office. Looking at the spacious area, Bai Qianqu was very satisfied.

From now on, won't I be able to slack off as much as I want here? And nobody will be able to catch me?

The treatment of an A-level composer is absolutely amazing.

Li Yang was also very envious. He touched and looked around, just like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

"Wow, I've heard so much about how amazing the personal offices of A-level composers are. Look at this leather sofa, the huge windows that let in so much light, and this chair is so comfortable! And this computer—based on my years of experience assembling computers, this is the highest performance configuration on the market right now! It's truly enviable!"

Bai Qianqu put her treasured tea into the cabinet and said irritably, "If you're envious, then work hard and strive to become an A-level as soon as possible."

"It's not that easy. Do you think everyone is a prodigy like you?" Li Yang rolled his eyes. "You've only been a composer for a short time, and you've already released so many masterpieces, even creating a new direction in the field of rap songs. Such achievements are enough to make 99% of composers look bad. Mao Dan, it's really infuriating to compare yourself to others!"

Bai Qianqu could only smile and remain silent in response.

"Alright, I'm going back to work now. If you need anything in the future, just come find me." Li Yang stood up, waved, and walked out of the office.

Watching Li Yang's departing figure, Bai Qianqu seemed lost in thought.

In fact, Li Yang is quite capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the Anti-Entropy composition department. However, as a self-taught individual, he lacked formal guidance and spent most of his time figuring things out on his own, which made him prone to taking many detours.

If there's a chance in the future, I'll lend a hand if I can, since Li Yang is still quite to his liking.

Sitting at his desk, Bai Qianqu searched online for information about the New Song Singer Competition. After all, this was the next thing to do, and although he didn't have to perform, he still needed to be prepared.

News spread quickly online, and the official stance has also changed, with no more pretense and a direct expression of their position.

Starting next year, all singers debuting each year will be required to participate in a newcomer singer competition. This competition will comprehensively assess each singer's abilities, and those whose abilities fail to meet the judges' approval will be disqualified from debuting!

This news immediately caused a huge uproar.

Previously, singers only needed to sing one original song to debut, but now they have to participate in competitions and pass the judges' evaluation.

The difficulty level has increased dramatically!

The singers most affected immediately erupted in anger.

[I still have to participate in competitions! Is it too late for me to debut now?]

Forget about it. The official application channel for C-level singers has been closed, and even if you debut, you'll still have to participate in the competition.

Heavens above! Earth below! Why did this happen! We finally got a new song, and then this happens!

[The authorities have their own stance, and there's nothing we can do about it. Besides, forcing all debuting singers to participate in the competition will help to quickly select the most talented singers.]

Those with real skills have nothing to fear; it's the mediocre who are truly afraid.

[But honestly, singers like us who haven't joined a record company or have joined a small company definitely can't compete with singers from big companies, right? After all, they have songwriting and music heavyweights protecting them, which is a bit unfair, isn't it?]

So, the official statement is that the judges only considered your singing ability comprehensively, and they won't disqualify you just because you ranked low. As long as you perform to your full potential, there shouldn't be any problem.

Well, let's hope so.

While the singers' mixed reactions of joy and sorrow were evident, public opinion overwhelmingly sided with the official stance.

[Well done! This should have been done a long time ago! Look at what the entertainment industry has become these past few years! Everywhere you look, it's just pop stars with massive followings!]

That's right! Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a singer, and what kind of rubbish do they sing? They just know how to make money!

[That's right, she just sang some random, random song and started live-streaming to sell products, showing absolutely no awareness of what it means to be a singer!]

The official stance is very clear: they intend to crack down hard on the entertainment industry and exclude substandard singers!

The atmosphere in the entertainment industry is getting worse and worse; this is definitely something that should be done!

Bai Qianqu looked at the various comments online, seemingly lost in thought.

Forcing newly debuted singers to participate in newcomer singer competitions is indeed a method, crude, but effective.

Putting aside everything else, at least the imposters will be immediately recognized.

Failing to debut as a formal singer means losing the opportunity to advance further in the entertainment industry, which is a fatal blow to those popular singers.

Of course, nothing is perfect, and doing this might inadvertently hurt some lesser-known singers.

They were not affiliated with a company, and their individual abilities varied, so they inevitably faced difficulties when participating in competitions.

Chapter 118 The New Singer Competition Begins!

But as the saying goes, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. As a singer, you can't be without the ability to participate in competitions, and on-the-spot performance is also a test.

Moreover, in the new singer competition, singers don't necessarily have to sing new songs. They can choose old songs from the song library to sing, and as long as they perform normally, they can still pass the round.

This time, the judges were selected from many renowned and experienced experts—truly capable experts, totaling over a hundred people—forming the judging panel.

The final result is decided by the judging panel, which is also to prevent misjudgment to the greatest extent possible.

In addition to the 100 judges, there are five special judges, all of whom are well-known figures in the entertainment industry.

Not only are there S-level composers, but also kings and queens of singers, S-level lyricists, and even rumors that a music god will come.

With these bigwigs in charge, there's no need to worry about anyone making any underhanded moves.

Even the dumbest person wouldn't offend so many big shots for the sake of a new singer.

Therefore, this arrangement by the authorities is currently the fairest and most just approach.

However, Bai Qianqu wasn't worried. Ying's singing skills were quite good, and with the song "Keep Walking in the Rain" that she had chosen, even if it wasn't exceptionally amazing, it would at least pass the judges' review without any problems.

So this official news has no impact on me.

After figuring it out, Bai Qianqu felt relieved and immediately opened the document to start typing.

With her own office, Bai Qianqu no longer had to worry about being seen while typing, so she unleashed her typing speed and typed away furiously.

Then I successfully broke one of the keyboards.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the 15th, the Newcomer Singer Competition officially begins!

The Changkong City Stadium, the largest stadium in Changkong City, was packed with people and decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. This was the main venue for the Newcomer Singer Competition.

This competition is not something that can be finished in a day; it requires a week of competition, with many rounds of matches taking place simultaneously in the main venue and the sub-venues. The singers who ultimately advance will then come here for the grand final.

Bai Qianqu watched one show at first but never went again; she simply couldn't bear to watch anymore.

You don’t know until you see it, and it’s really shocking.

These newly debuted singers are a mixed bag; some who are just pretending and hoping to get away with it also come to participate, and the result is that their voices almost scare the judges and the audience to death.

Moreover, since this is the first time that a new singer competition has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of singers, there are quite a few singers with little talent and limited popularity who participated with the hope of getting lucky.

Bai Qianqu ran away after listening to only half of it.

Looking at the judges on stage, he couldn't help but feel pity.

It's too awful.

A few days later, after eliminating a large number of singers, the new singer competition entered the finals!

Over the past few days, more than a thousand singers have performed on the competition stage. Some advanced, while others were eliminated. However, regardless of who advanced or was eliminated, everyone received a comprehensive evaluation report. The report only showed two results: qualified and unqualified. Those who qualified, of course, successfully passed the evaluation and became official debut singers. Those who failed were not immediately eliminated; they could choose to participate in the competition again the following year until they qualified.

In the end, five people made it to the finals!

The Changkong City Stadium was packed to capacity that day, with cheers erupting one after another like a surging tide.

After several days of intense competition, Ying finally made it to the finals with her outstanding abilities. At this moment, the portraits of the five singers appeared side by side on the big screen of the stage, which was very eye-catching.

When the audience saw the picture of their favorite singer, they erupted in another frenzied shout.

Ying has many supporters. Although she is a new singer, she has won the hearts of many viewers with her sweet appearance and beautiful voice.

Bai Qianqu even heard someone shout, "I'm Miss Ying's dog!"

That's absolutely mind-blowing.

However, Bai Qianqu was also very satisfied with Ying's performance. During the earlier competitions, Ying did not use the song that Bai Qianqu had given her, but instead chose some older songs that were more suitable for her to sing.

This is also the choice of most singers, after all, not everyone can come up with a new song.

At that moment, three people in a relatively forward position in the stadium saw Ying on the stage and couldn't help but smile. One of them was Xiao Linghua.

Today, Ayaka Kamisato was dressed casually, wearing a baseball cap and large sunglasses that covered half of her face. Beside her, besides Rakuko from last time, was a young man holding a milk tea.

The young man had short, light blue hair, with an extra strand hanging down his right shoulder. His bangs on the left side slightly obscured his purple, drooping eyes, and a mole was visible beneath the slightly upturned corner of his mouth.

He was dashing and handsome, shining like a prince from a fairy tale.

Many girls around him were looking at him with hearts in their eyes, while the men were gritting their teeth in hatred.

Ayaka was overjoyed to see Yingying. She waved towards the stage and excitedly exclaimed, "It's Yingying! I see her!"

"Miss, be careful! Be mindful of your image!" Luo Zi quickly reminded her in a low voice.

"It's okay, no one knows me anyway." Linghua turned to the young man and said, "And brother, don't drink milk tea anymore, it's easy to gain weight if you drink too much of it."

"Ahem." The young man chuckled awkwardly. "It's alright, I'll make sure to exercise. But you, Ayaka, I just got off the plane and you dragged me here to watch the match. You really don't give me any rest time at all."

"Brother, your arrival is just in time." Linghua opened her fan familiarly, then suddenly lowered her voice, "Brother, is everything arranged at home?"

Indeed, the elegant young man before us is none other than Ayato Kamisato, the current head of the Kamisato Inazuma family.

Ayato Kamisato nodded, "Everything is arranged, don't worry."

A conflicted look appeared on Kamisato Ayaka's face: "Brother, we are all of the same clan after all, please show some mercy."

"Okay, I'll go to the restroom first."

Watching Ayato Kamisato's departing figure, Ayaka Kamisato sighed helplessly.

On the other side, Ayato Kamisato didn't go to the restroom, but instead went to a corner and made a phone call.

"Master, what are your instructions?" The voice on the phone was very respectful to Ayato Kamisato.

"Get to work. Submit all the evidence you've gathered. I want every single one of those treacherous members of the family to be wiped out."

"Yes, but Master, the young lady instructed us to show mercy—"

"Ignore her. Just do as I say."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Ayato Kamisato picked up his milk tea and drank it all in one gulp, then turned around and threw the cup into the trash can.

The milk tea cup spun around the edge of the trash can before finally rolling into the dark abyss.
