The Journey to Godhood in Another World

In the spacious and bright yet tense composition department office of Brilliant Entertainment, the atmosphere was as oppressive as the calm before a storm.

Ji Yajun strode into the office with steady and powerful steps. He was wearing a sharp black suit, his hair was neatly combed back, and his serious expression exuded authority from every pore.

He slowly sat down on the large sofa in the center of the office, and the composers around him involuntarily straightened their backs, their eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Some composers had an irrepressible glint of excitement in their eyes, secretly hoping that their carefully crafted works might stand out in this special competition, be bought at a high price, and make a name for themselves in the music scene. Other composers, however, had furrowed brows and nervously fidgeted with the hem of their clothes, worried that their painstakingly completed works would not even catch the eye of the runner-up and would become cannon fodder in this silent competition.

The minister was busy like a spinning top, his hands quickly searching and sorting through the mountain of sheet music. Finally, he selected five songs from the many works.

At this moment, the office was so quiet that only the minister's soft breathing and the rustling of papers turning could be heard.

The most outstanding piece was a propaganda song meticulously crafted by a platinum-level composer for the national military service program.

Ji Yajun's gaze fell on the sheet music, a sly glint in his eyes. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. He secretly calculated in his heart: Luo Li already has a song called "Grandma's Patriotic Version". If Yun Ran chooses this song praising soldiers as the duel piece, she will definitely find it difficult to create a work that can rival it in a short period of time.

This is a perfect opportunity to suppress her, so that Liu Sheng can smoothly rise to power.

His fingers tapped lightly on the sofa armrest, the rhythm slow and melodious, as if keeping time for his plans.

The second song is about the deep regret after a breakup.

This was written by a young, top-rated singer after a breakup, when he got drunk and, driven by alcohol and his inner anguish, it was his painful cry to mourn his lost love.

Luo Li's song "I'm Sad" also conveys a sense of regret, but similarly, the song has already been released.

Ji Yajun hummed the melody of the song softly, shaking his head slightly, as if marveling at the coincidence of fate.

The third song is one that a platinum-level composer originally wanted to use to climb the charts this month; it's a song about love in winter.

The melody was like the warm sun in winter, comforting, catchy, and of excellent quality.

Luo Li had never released a similar song. Ji Yajun picked up the sheet music, examined it carefully, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face, as if he could already see Luo Li helpless in the face of this song.

The fourth poem is the work of a recent college graduate.

This young man, cherishing his memories of university life and harboring feelings for the girl he secretly admired, created this song brimming with youthful energy.

The lyrics are full of the cautiousness of unrequited love, and the pure emotions revealed between the lines are touching. Overall, it is a very good song.

Ji Yajun couldn't help but imagine what Luo Li looked like, thinking to himself: Luo Li is so beautiful, she probably hasn't had a crush on anyone, but there must be quite a few who have crushes on her.

This might be her blind spot. He crossed his arms, his eyes filled with anticipation, placing high hopes on the song.

The fifth song is about gratitude to parents, and it was composed by one of the company's platinum composers.

His father passed away last month, and with deep longing and gratitude for his father, he wrote this deeply moving song.

Ji Yajun put on his headphones, closed his eyes, and listened quietly. A moved expression gradually appeared on his face, as if he had also put himself in the role of the father, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Luo Li had never released a similar song before, which made Ji Yajun feel that it was impossible for Luo Li to write a song in a short period of time that was better than all the songs produced by the entire Brilliant Composition Department. He felt that they were bound to win.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the office with light and confident steps.

After selecting the song, Ji Yajun returned to his office, sat down at his large desk, took a deep breath, and then quickly dialed Yun Ran's number.

His voice was deep and serious: "Yunran, I've already chosen the themes for tomorrow's duel. There are five in total. The first is praising soldiers, the second is the regret after a breakup, the third is love in winter, the fourth is the feeling of unrequited love, and the fifth is gratitude to parents. Prepare well, and this time you must let Luo Li know how powerful we are."

Yun Ran repeatedly agreed on the other end of the phone. After hanging up, Ji Yajun immediately arranged for people to select singers based on the song. He loudly told his subordinates, "Go, find a few singers with strong abilities and images that fit the theme of the song. Get the singers decided first, then give them the sheet music and have them practice quickly. We'll catch Luo Li off guard tomorrow."

The subordinates obeyed and left, and the office once again fell into a busy and noisy atmosphere.

Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story. In a quiet conference room at Huaxi Entertainment, Luo Li sat at a huge conference table, her brows furrowed, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Since she didn't know what the theme of tomorrow's match would be, she could only prepare as much as possible.

Everything else is fine, but I'm worried that the songs we choose tomorrow won't have suitable singers to perform them.

Although Luo Li can sing, there are some songs that are not suitable for her to sing. Therefore, Luo Li focused on selecting singers, and she wanted to select singers with as many styles as possible.

She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling street outside, and silently prayed that everything would go well.

Luo Li turned and walked out of the conference room, arriving at Song Hui's office.

She knocked gently on the door and went in after receiving permission. "Sister Song, I want to ask you for information on all the singers currently at Huaxi Entertainment, including demos of their performances. I need to understand their voices as soon as possible to better prepare for tomorrow's competition."

Luo Li's voice carried a hint of urgency. Seeing Luo Li's anxious expression, Song Hui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find it for you right away."

Due to the tight schedule, most of the singers from Huaxi Entertainment were traveling to other places for promotional events.

Song Hui picked up the phone and dialed the numbers of various agents, saying firmly, "Those who can come back should come back. Those who really can't come back don't need to. Just do your job well."

This is an important task for the company, and everyone should take it seriously.

The venue for tomorrow's live broadcast has been chosen, but having the right connections makes things easier.

After hearing about this, Hu Guangsen, the director of Shanghai TV station, took the initiative to contact Song Hui.

Hu Guangsen said to Song Hui with a big smile, "Little Song, I've heard about the showdown between Huaxi Entertainment and Brilliant Entertainment. This is a big event in the music industry."

I'll lend you the Shanghai TV station's Spring Festival Gala recording studio, on the condition that Shanghai TV station broadcasts an edited version of the competition program, and that it will be the only official channel for broadcasting it.

Song Hui was overjoyed, knowing this was a golden opportunity, and quickly said, "Brother, you've really helped us a lot. Of course we agree to this condition."

How could Song Hui refuse such a condition that would increase her exposure?

Song Hui is currently preparing for tomorrow's live broadcast. She sits at her desk, carefully checking every detail, from the stage setup to the lighting and sound, from the arrangement of the music critics' seats to the audience's entry process. She doesn't overlook any detail.

Her gaze was focused and unwavering, as if she were sculpting a rare treasure.

Song Hui and Hu Guangsen also invited ten leading figures in the music industry to be music critics.

They all hold pivotal positions in the music industry and are highly respected.

Song Hui personally called them and sincerely said, "Teachers, this competition is related to the fairness and justice of the music scene. We need people like you who truly love music to take charge. I believe you will not cheat for money or destroy the sacred music in your hearts."

Music critics have expressed their willingness to come, eager to see who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated music showdown.

Song Hui believed that with them in charge, the music critics hired by Brilliant Entertainment would be more restrained and wouldn't be too obviously faking their work.

After obtaining the singers' information, Luo Li immersed herself in the sea of ​​data. She put on her headphones and listened to the singers' demos one by one, her face sometimes showing surprise and sometimes slightly frowning.

She meticulously recorded the characteristics and strengths of each singer in her notebook, while humming the melodies of the songs from time to time.

Her room was filled with various musical sounds, as if a small concert was underway.

As night fell and the city lights gradually came on, the composer's office at Brilliant Entertainment remained brightly lit. The singers were rehearsing intensely, with Ji Yajun supervising from the sidelines, his sharp and critical eyes not missing a single flaw.

Meanwhile, at Huaxi Entertainment, Luo Li was still busy. Her figure appeared somewhat tired yet incredibly determined under the lights. She knew tomorrow would be a tough battle, but she was prepared to give it her all. No matter the outcome, she would fight for her musical dream.
