Qin Continent Art Academy was also discussing “Big Fish”, let alone the major entertainment companies of Qin Continent. Various entertainment media outlets had started reporting news related to this song.
“A movie has been quite the rage lately.”
On an entertainment program, the host said with a professional smile, “This movie is called ‘Dragon Fish Dance’ and has earned over 800 million at the box office so far. Alongside the success of this movie, its theme song has also gone viral over the internet-”
“I won’t reveal the name of the song just yet.”
“Many of you should still remember the fierce competition amongst newcomers in November, the song titled ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’ emerged victorious. This song even outperformed the highly popular Qian Xingyu. And the creator of this song is our topic for today, Xian Yu!”
“Yes, many must’ve guessed it already.”
“This theme song, known as ‘Big Fish’, was also penned by this new songwriter, Xian Yu. After listening to ‘Big Fish’, many were captivated by it. In such a situation, it’s hard not to notice its creator, Xian Yu.”
“You all must be very curious.”
“Within just two months, he penned two brilliant songs. Isn’t this new songwriter from Starlight, Xian Yu, a bit too powerful? Even among the impressive newcomers of Qin Continent, such a talent isn’t common…”
Plop.
Inside one of the big three entertainment companies of Qin Continent, Dazzling Silver Glow, the chief agent, Xi Mei, picked up the remote and switched off the television on the wall.
Right then.
Her assistant rushed in flustered, shouting, “Something bad has happened! We are in trouble!”
“Is the sky falling?”
Having a strong disposition seemed to be a shared trait among the chief agents of Qin Continent’s big three entertainment companies. Xi Mei was no different, even colder than Zhao Jue. She said, “Take a moment to catch your breath.”
“Yes!”
The assistant calmed down and then whispered, “Starlight just announced that Zhao Ying Ge has signed with them!”
“What!”
Xi Mei’s expression froze and she narrowed her eyes, “She chose Starlight, do you know why?”
“There are rumours.”
The nervous assistant said, “I have a classmate who works at Starlight. He hinted that it might be because of Xian Yu, but 1 don’t know the specifics.” “Xian Yu again?”
Xian Yu flashed in Xi Mei’s eyes.
When Xian Yu snatched away the first place in the newcomer chart, Xi Mei didn’t pay much attention. Everyone has moments of brilliance, and the industry had seen it quite often.
Lately.
When the theme song ‘Big Fish’ became a hit, Xian Yu started receiving a bit of attention from Xi Mei. But she only considered him a talented newcomer.
But what she didn’t expect was-
Zhao Ying Ge, whom she wished to sign, joined Starlight due to Xian Yu. This made Xi Mei take the matter seriously. “Seems like Zhao Jue got hold of a promising talent. But we can’t ignore Zhao Ying Ge’s matter, contact Sand Sea.”
The assistant doubted what he heard, “Sand Sea?”
Dazzling Silver Glow and Starlight didn’t share a good relationship with Sand Sea.
Xi Mei smiled, “Starlight has been in the limelight recently. 1 presume Sand Sea must be quite upset. We both now share a common enemy, we can coordinate with Sand Sea this time.”
Lin Yuan was also aware of the external discussions regarding “Big Fish”. His classmates often shared this song in the group chat. Some even speculated whether it might once again become the examination topic. Fortunately, the teacher was somewhat merciful and didn’t ruin their love for the song by doing so.
There’s a lot of discussion; the song is indeed popular.
Lin Yuan was starting to be hopeful. He wondered how much prestige value “Big Fish” had generated for him up till now?
He invoked the system, and a few lines of text immediately appeared before his eyes:
[Age: 19]
[Lifespan: 27]
[Art: 45]
[Literature: 105]
[Music: 26,494]
As his literature and art skills haven’t improved, the system didn’t bother showing the integrated prestige section.
The prestige in the music category was still increasing. The rate of increase was close to what Lin Yuan had imagined, almost reaching thirty thousand now.
“But it’s still far away from one million prestige.”
Lin Yuan frowned when he saw there were only two bronze treasure chests left in the warehouse.
He had used up all his songs and had to replenish before he could start the subsequent work. So he commanded, “Open the two treasure chests.”
[Congratulations, Host has won the song ‘Red Rose’]
[Congratulations, Host has acquired the special category novel ‘King of the Net’]
The two treasure chests opened.
The first chest unsurprisingly contained a song.
However, the second chest revealed something strange.
Lin Yuan asked, “What kind of novel is ‘King of the Net’? 1 haven’t heard of it.”
The system explained:
“This is a novel adapted from the classic anime ‘Prince of Tennis’ within the context of Blue Star Qin Continent High School. It’s a one million-word novel about a group of high school students pursuing their dreams of tennis. It encapsulates youth, bewilderment, passion, and emotion, and excels in replicating the essence of the original anime. It’s one of the rare sports competition-themed novels currently in Blue Star. Host, you can now quickly read through this to verify its quality.”
Converted an anime into a novel?
And the story is set on Blue Star?
Usually, novels are adapted into comics, right?
Contrarily, the system adapted a famous anime from Lin Yuan’s past life into a one-million-word novel based on Blue Star.
“Read.”
Lin Yuan silently recited.
Suddenly, a slew of plots flooded into his mind.
According to the system’s introduction, these plots had an 80 percent similarity with the anime “Prince of Tennis”. It meant that the essence of the original was retained while the writing style adhered to the reading habits of Blue Star readers. The plot and rhythm seemed rather engaging and met the standards of physical publishing-
Well, this is just the system praising itself.
So this is what the special category novel means?
Indeed, it’s fairly special since the anime ‘Prince of Tennis’, adapted from a manga, had no novel version. There had been many fanfictions about it in his previous life though.
“Ding Dong.”
The system rang, “Congratulations to the Host for activating a new task. We hope that the Host will make a mark in the field of literature before the end of this year.”
[Task Name: Diverse Development]
[Task Content: As Superstar Appreciation Day approaches, please ensure that you successfully publish the novel ‘King of the Net’ in the upcoming Superstar Literature Recruitment and achieve a literature prestige value of 10,000.]
[Task Reward: Three Bronze Treasure Chests]
Lin Yuan’s spirit was revived. Finally, a new task had appeared, and this time there were three bronze treasure chests as the task reward!
“Accept.”
Lin Yuan agreed to the task without any hesitation.
It appears that the prestige provided by novels belongs to the ‘Literature’ category-
For Lin Yuan, diversifying the categories is a good thing. With another channel to gather prestige, he could resolve his life-or-death crisis sooner.
By the way.
Lin Yuan seemed to know the ‘Superstar’ that the system mentioned.. Xia Fan and Jian Yi had discussed it before, hadn’t they?
