Entertainment: The microphones are here, why is everyone so silent?

"Ye Chen," the clerk replied.

"Ye Chen..."

The leader repeated the name softly.

The meeting room fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

The name Ye Chen sounds somewhat familiar.

Was it mentioned in a recent internal briefing? Was it related to cultural promotion?

The leader glanced down at the photos on the tablet again.

When I looked up again, my eyes swept over the terrifying growth figures on the report!

Restaurants are fully booked, guesthouses are sold out, night markets are packed, and this has even affected transportation and retail...

Even antique and collectible stalls have benefited immensely from this windfall.

Even at the Wuhou Temple, fans are sending Zhuge Liang MP3 players to play his songs?!

This is hardly a celebrity.

This is simply a phenomenal cultural bombshell!

A veritable human-shaped economic engine!

Suddenly, the leader realized something!

He recalled the rumors he had vaguely heard a few days ago that a director of a certain center in the ministry had personally intervened!

The crackdown on the entertainment industry has protected a singer who promotes traditional culture.

Ye Chen... the name matches!

"Okay..." The leader slowly leaned back in his chair.

The initial confusion and surprise on his face were gradually replaced by an expression of realization and excitement:

"I was wondering which deity I was looking for... Turns out it was him."

The old leader swept his gaze across the room, his eyes gleaming:

"One person, a few songs, and before the performance even started, they were able to bring this level of tourists to Chengdu!"

"This is an opportunity! It's like a living 'east wind' delivered right to the doorstep of Chengdu!"

"Immediately confirm the specific schedule, venue size, and expected audience for Ye Chen's concert!"

"Contact the organizers—no, proactively reach out to them on behalf of the Culture and Tourism Bureau! Ask them what kind of coordination or support they need!"

These words shocked everyone in the room!

For a moment, the conference room was eerily quiet!

The senior deputy directors looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes!

Proactively coordinating and providing support in the name of the Culture and Tourism Bureau?!

This level of hospitality is comparable to even hosting key foreign businesspeople or national-level cultural projects!

Now they're giving a shout-out to a... singer?!

Just because he's coming to hold a concert, he can make the usually prudent boss break with convention and take the initiative to offer his help?!

Even Zhang Jie, a singer from this province, doesn't receive this treatment!

Someone instinctively gasped.

This goes beyond the scope of "paying attention"; it's practically an exceptional courtesy!

"Compile this data immediately and form a brief report." Before anyone could speak, the old leader stood up.

"I need to report this to the provincial authorities immediately! Chengdu may be about to experience an unprecedented cultural and tourism boom."

"Furthermore, I think Ye Chen's hit songs are quite good. I will apply to the provincial government to have Ye Chen write a promotional song for Chengdu!"

Swish!

In the conference room, everyone's eyes widened suddenly!

"They've asked Ye Chen to write a promotional song for Chengdu?!"

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

Several of the deputies even slightly opened their mouths!

Writing a promotional song for a city is a major event that will be included in official footage and represent the city's image!

We have always been extremely cautious, either by inviting renowned experts or by collecting materials through field research!

When has there ever been a precedent of directly requesting a pop singer?!

This is no longer just being optimistic; it's a gamble that risks the city's cultural reputation!

And the entire bet was placed on this young man named Ye Chen!

In an instant, everyone's mouths went dry!

The young officer was utterly astonished!

At that moment, his mind was buzzing!

He never expected that his old leader would think so highly of Ye Chen!

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen had already alarmed the imperial court!

To make an ancient city with a history of thousands of years willingly hand over its "city card" symbolizing the highest recognition!

My extra words were completely outrageous!

……

The next day.

Ye Chen and his company team officially began rehearsals at the provincial gymnasium.

In fact, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ye Chen was confident that no rehearsal would be necessary.

But the other colleagues and the venue staff need time to get used to each other.

They need to familiarize themselves with the venue first!

Equipment needs to be tested, stage needs to be adjusted, and lighting needs to be controlled in advance!

The provincial gymnasium has been in operation for over 30 years and is a long-established performance venue.

It is also one of the venues that mainstream artists choose for their tours.

Moreover, the provincial gymnasium is an enclosed, indoor venue.

It needs to be properly adjusted, otherwise excessive reverberation will affect the auditory experience.

The staff were busy all morning, searching for the best audiovisual effects to enjoy.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Ye Chen turned on his microphone and sang a few new songs live.

The moment he opened his mouth, the staff were completely mesmerized!

The progress of the work at hand has slowed down considerably!

at this time.

People who used to come outside the venue to play outdoor table tennis, badminton, and other outdoor fitness activities were dumbfounded!

Before I knew it, the area outside the museum, which was open to the public for free, had become packed with people.

According to incomplete statistics, nearly 10,000 fans have already arrived in advance!

Some fans have already brought tents and found places to "set up camp"!

It's obvious they're preparing to line up early.

Outside the museum, police had already set up a cordon.

There were even special police vehicles parked there!

Although it was outside the museum, you could still occasionally hear singing from inside!

This once thrilled the fans outside the venue!

"Brothers and sisters, can you hear that?! It's Chen Tang's voice!!!"

"Ye Chen! Ye Chen is singing! His voice is so sweet! I love it!"

"Family members, listen carefully! It really is Ye Chen's voice! Can you hear it?"

Outside the venue, many people were overjoyed, holding up selfie sticks and live-streaming.

The viewers in the live stream were filled with excitement and regret.

I can hear it, but the sound is very muffled; it's even harder to distinguish than an English listening comprehension test!

[Sigh, it's a pity I have to work and don't have time to go live.]

[This melody sounds like "Suspended," narrator, is that Ye Chen setting up the equipment?]

Putting aside whether I could hear it clearly or not, just looking at the scene where the broadcaster was was breathtaking!

[Damn it! You stole my ticket, streamer! Waaaaah~ I'll fight you tentacle monsters!]

The streamer grinned as he looked at the comments:

"Even though we're outside the venue, the sound quality is really enjoyable!"

"I'm getting more and more excited for this concert!"

"Family members in the live stream, quickly follow the streamer and come to my live stream tomorrow evening to watch me risk my life to broadcast!"

As the streamer spoke, he displayed various backup phones and backup live streaming accounts on camera:

"An exclusive, immersive concert sneak peek! Follow us now so you don't miss the premiere tomorrow!"

He spoke with great conviction.

Outside the venue, hundreds or even thousands of people were also live-streaming!

Hou Junchuan and Yu Yang followed suit.

They also tried to persuade the camera.

Hou Junchuan: "Tomorrow, my brother and I will crawl through the sewers to attend the concert!"

Yu Yang: "An immersive, exclusive view of the sewers during the concert!"

The two said in unison, "Quickly follow us so you won't miss tomorrow's broadcast!"

The broadcaster next door was completely dumbfounded!

They brought all sorts of anti-blocking equipment, thinking they were in for a tough time!

These two are actually going into the sewers just to get to Ye Chen's concert?!

Is this how competitive live streaming is these days?!
