You're about to retire from the entertainment industry, yet your concerts are still so popular?

Ye Chen's flight time.

A live recording of last night's concert has been leaked.

It caused a sensation across the entire internet first thing this morning!

Han Hong stared at the viral video on the tablet, her breath suddenly caught in her throat.

In the video, nearly 10,000 people chanted in unison, "A song that once served as a million-strong army," the sound so loud it made her eardrums ache.

She abruptly pressed pause, her face darkening: "What a grand spectacle! Do they think this concert is some kind of imperial investiture ceremony?!"

The agent carefully handed over a water glass: "Sister Hong, Ye Chen's momentum is too strong right now, his fans are going crazy."

"Crazy?" Han Hong sneered. "It's arrogance! Unbelievably arrogant! He hits a few high notes, and fans dare to call him the pinnacle of the music industry?"

"Ye Chen is the ceiling, what are we who have been singing for decades? Stepping stones?"

The agent shrank back: "But his song 'Left Finger Pointing to the Moon' is indeed B5..."

"B5?" Han Hong suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with defiance. "I can sing B5 too! Do you really think only Ye Chen has a voice?"

Ye Chen is just using the gimmick of writing songs on the spot!

In a real head-to-head confrontation, the outcome is still uncertain!

She stood up and looked down at Ye Chen on the screen:

"Tell the team to get me on variety shows and music variety shows! I want to see just how difficult Ye Chen's songs are to sing!"

The agent smiled wryly, "Sister, there are quite a few people who think the same way as you. Several top stars have been inquiring about Ye Chen's schedule."

Han Hong's lips curled into a smile, her fighting spirit palpable. "Even better then. It's time to stir things up in this stagnant water of the music scene. Ye Chen wants to retire with dignity? He'll have to ask me, Han Hong, first!"

Meanwhile, in a high-end apartment building.

Several veteran singers, watching the same video, simultaneously narrowed their eyes.

Someone threw away the remote control, and someone smashed a coffee cup!

"Snipe him! He's not the only one who can hit high notes!"

……

The atmosphere in the Ministry of Culture's conference room was solemn.

Zhou Weikang spoke first: "I suggest that we keep up with the times and allow for the possibility of live streaming concerts."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other responsible persons' faces darkened!

"Old Zhou, what are you doing messing around with? This has never been opened before!"

"If an artist acts out on stage and causes negative public opinion, you'll be the first to be condemned by everyone!"

"Old Zhou! You're dragging us down with you!"

"With this energy, why not help Old He promote intangible cultural heritage!"

Vice Minister Li Shaojun smiled, but his eyes were cold: "Weikang, any new ideas?"

Zhou Weikang remained unfazed: "Last night at Ye Chen's concert in Hangzhou, 50,000 people spontaneously gathered outside the venue, the sewers were filled with audience members, and hundreds of live streaming rooms across the internet were simultaneously broadcasting the concert illegally. We couldn't shut them all down, we couldn't stop them."

"I watched the live stream!" He Zhixian sat up abruptly!

He counted on his fingers and exclaimed in surprise, "True B5 sound, three octaves, traditional instruments blended into pop!"

"The actual traffic... the barrage of comments was as intense as the Spring Festival Gala!"

"I've never seen any celebrity in my life with such a massive amount of activity data!"

The entire room fell silent!

Several key personnel were shocked!

"Wait! You're watching pirated live streams online?!"

"Wait a minute! You two mean Ye Chen's concert has already been streamed live?!"

"And the effects are incredibly rapid?!"

With the atmosphere set, Zhou Weikang directly projected the message onto the screen.

In the video, 30,000 people roared in unison, "A song that once defeated a million soldiers," the sound waves making the conference room speakers vibrate.

Zhou Weikang again suggested to the vice minister: "It's better to guide than to block. Rather than letting piracy run rampant, I suggest opening the floodgates and directing Ye Chen's traffic to the right path."

"For example, Lao He's intangible cultural heritage department, Lao Zhang's tourism promotion, and Lao Li, who is in charge of cultural dissemination, can all take advantage of this trend."

Li Shaojun stared intently at Ye Chen on the screen.

After a long silence, he slowly sat up straight, his voice low and resolute: "I am Li Shaojun, and I agree to submit this petition!"

……

Kuaishou Headquarters, Board of Directors Office.

The assistant placed the documents on the table, his voice trembling with excitement: "Chairman, there has been no official response to the fact that Ye Chen's concert was broadcast live."

Even when Ye Chen wrote a song on the spot, those leaders... still didn't even give a warning.

"It seems... they don't mind Ye Chen's concert being broadcast live."

The assistant reported the details of the information he had gathered in detail.

"What?!" The director looked up abruptly, surprised.

He had also watched the replay of that concert.

Ye Chen wrote and sang several new songs on the spot, and there was almost no trace of a script!

In other words, Ye Chen wrote songs on the spot without reporting it to the authorities!

E5 love songs and B5 ethereal music, each one improvised, are enough to warrant a three-time ban according to the rules!

With thousands of live streams circulating across the entire internet, how come Ye Chen wasn't punished?!

What does it mean that they didn't say anything to stop such a big thing as a live broadcast?!

Unless... someone is tacitly approving, or even... paving the way?

Upon realizing this, the director instantly stopped breathing!

Are you sure the information is genuine?

"It's true! I'll vouch for it with my salary this month!" the assistant said with absolute certainty.

"Notify all senior management to hold a meeting. Buy the live streaming rights for Ye Chen!" The director's expression was frenzied, his face full of excitement.

hum!

At this moment, the assistant's mind was about to explode!

The director actually wants to buy the broadcasting rights?!

Live streaming concerts is strictly prohibited, isn't it?!

Are you crazy? The authorities would allow you to livestream a concert?

That's not right either! It seems that the official attitude towards Ye Chen this time is quite ambiguous.

hiss~

My head is so itchy, am I starting to grow a brain?

Ten minutes later.

A murmur of discussion filled the conference room.

"Last night, the number of people censoring the music was so high it was practically nonexistent, yet Ye Chen's concert still garnered millions of views! And our platform also had hundreds of thousands of views!"

"This is just an estimate! If they weren't banned, wouldn't the combined figures from several major platforms reach hundreds of millions?"

"If Ye Chen were to stream on our platform, these millions of users would become new users for Kuaishou!"

"Even though they've been banned to the point of being completely wiped out, the retention rate is still 90%! Ye Chen's fans are incredibly loyal; it's ridiculous and outrageous!"

"No wonder when I woke up this morning, I found that my colleague was being criticized for skipping notes and it was trending on social media. It turns out they were tasked with banning Ye Chen's live stream."

Boom boom boom!

The director tapped the table lightly: "The core issue of this meeting is: acquiring the live streaming rights to Ye Chen's concert. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this."

A legal manager was the first to step forward:

"Chairman, the Ministry of Culture has explicitly banned live broadcasts of concerts. It seems this rule has never been broken before."

The other supervisors nodded in agreement.

They all secretly wanted to reject the chairman's idea, which suddenly popped into their heads.

"I have never seen a singer whose concert has been allowed to be broadcast live."

"The Ministry of Culture disagrees. Buying a live stream of the concert is useless! And it's obvious that they would never agree to this kind of live stream."

The chairman smiled slightly, as if he had expected this.
