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

"Never opened one before?" The chairman chuckled. "But last night, Ye Chen's concert was broadcast simultaneously in hundreds of live streaming rooms, and the Ministry of Culture didn't even make a single warning call."

He surveyed the entire room and slowly dropped a bombshell!

"Let me tell you, the authorities might be giving Ye Chen the green light again."

???

Everyone stared in astonishment, completely bewildered.

"I just heard that the Ministry of Culture encourages Ye Chen to create on-site, and has specially approved it as a regular part of the event, and even..." The chairman smiled mysteriously.

"In fact, the feasibility of live-streaming the concert is being discussed internally."

boom!

The meeting room erupted in chaos!

Everyone's minds were struck as if by lightning!

Several executives suddenly stood up, making a screeching sound as they scrambled across the tables and chairs!

A group of executives were instantly in an uproar!

"Special approval?! It's become a standard procedure?!" The legal director's pupils instantly filled with terror!

Ye Chen's concerts not only feature live songwriting!

This was even specially approved! What's the difference between this and him wearing a yellow jacket?!

"Doesn't this mean Ye Chen has a get-out-of-jail-free card from the government?!"

The legal team is getting anxious!

Ye Chen's background is just too helpless!

His head was buzzing!

"The feasibility of live-streaming a concert?!" The operations director's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Even the most composed and seasoned veterans were gaping in astonishment: "We haven't even approached the authorities yet, and they're already pushing this forward?!"

He sat there in the chair, completely bewildered, his mind practically exploding!

Even after the Ministry of Culture learned that Ye Chen was forced to "violate the rules," they not only did not issue a penalty, but instead seemed to be praising the live streaming method as very good!

Is this some kind of favoritism being shown to Ye Chen?!

I think this is like turning on a spotlight for Ye Chen!

At this moment, the chairman slammed his hand on the table: "The neighboring Jumping Sound Group had the same idea last night, but we don't know what the final result will be."

"But now that the green light is about to turn on, we either have to rush in, or we'll be left behind and won't even see our taillights!"

Rumble!

The executives were terrified!

"So, to secure the live streaming rights for Ye Chen's concert, colleagues actually worked overtime and held meetings overnight?!"

"Looks like we can't miss this massive traffic surge! Let's do it!"

"..."

The chairman nodded in satisfaction. To secure the live streaming rights, they needed to find a way to comply with the Ministry of Culture's regulations.

Anyway, some things just have to be pushed forward!

Moreover, he had already calculated it.

Even if they were fined, the fine was negligible compared to the benefits generated by Ye Chen's concert livestream!

……

Beijing Airport.

Ye Chen and Xu Hao were escorted into a van by the company's airport staff.

"Phew~"

Xu Hao immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Chen, there are actually fans picking you up at the airport! Looks like you've gained a lot of new fans lately."

"It shouldn't be like that." Jiang Mengting shook her head. "Casual fans are the least likely to deliberately chase after celebrities at the airport."

"They seem like die-hard fans who switch allegiances to idols," she said, her gaze sharpening as she looked out the car window, "or maybe... paparazzi posing as fans!"

"It's alright, Brother Chen is being well protected by us, isn't he?" Xu Hao said with a grin.

As he spoke, he opened his phone and sat down, saying, "Let me check how the online reviews of last night's concert are going."

Once opened.

On my phone, wherever there's anything related to the entertainment industry or the music scene, Ye Chen is all the top trending topic.

"Wow! Brother Chen's concert has revealed so many hidden talents!" Xu Hao, who had just lain down, immediately sat up straight!

"Look, Mr. Jiang! Brother Chen has made several popular streamers famous overnight! What's this 'Loud Voice Bro,' 'Sewer Feng Bro,' 'E5 Bro,' 'Rising Wind Bro'... and, um? Who's B5 Knife Bro?"

Jiang Mengting snatched the phone away, her pupils suddenly contracting.

On the screen, Ye Chen once again dominated the top ten trending topics!

Searching the entire internet for B5 Daoge (Brother B5)

The first person to attend a concert in a sewer

The loud-voiced guy was pointed at by Ye Chen several times.

Chenmi Ten Thousand People Recitation Group...!

"These people have all become internet celebrities!" Xu Hao pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling wildly!

The guy with the loudest voice gained 80,000 followers!

Feng Ge's live stream in the sewers even had over 100,000 viewers watching simultaneously?!

Even Li Dao, who is virtually unknown online, has tens of thousands of discussions?!

The entire internet is searching for "Brother Dao"! "Who is Brother Dao on B5?" and several other related terms are also trending online!

She also saw dozens or even hundreds of live streaming accounts—audience members broadcasting live from inside the stadium, and streamers outside Huanglong Stadium who didn't have tickets!

Netizens have calculated that these streamers gained tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers overnight!

Ye Chen has become quite a popular internet celebrity just because of one of his concerts!

Even the cringeworthy moment at the end of the concert, when a group of fans acted like teenagers, became a memorable scene!

You could say that this concert was a gathering of the most prestigious people in the family!

Xu Hao's scalp tingled: "Brother Chen, this isn't a concert, it's a celebrity incubator!"

Jiang Mengting opened the comments section and found it filled with countless highly-rated comments!

[People used to say Ye Shen was the king of pop songs, but now I realize I'm the one who's just talking nonsense!]

[One of Ip Man's concerts unearthed three hidden talents and over a dozen internet celebrities!]

[I suggest Ye Shen collect resumes along with ticket sales next time, and sign streamers on the spot!]

Who exactly is B5, the "Knife Brother"?! Investigate! Investigate him thoroughly! This is a case of patricide!

Aren't you surprised by how outrageously good his singing is? He's so young, how can his singing be so incredible?

[His singing skills are outrageous? He's using his voice like a nuclear weapon! Everyone else in the music industry is still in the era of cold weapons!]

Xu Hao swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "President Jiang... Brother Chen isn't just attracting fans, he's draining the entire internet's bandwidth!"

Jiang Mengting glanced at Ye Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed, and then looked out the car window.

After a long pause, he gasped, "...If he holds two more shows, the entertainment industry might be reshuffled!"

……

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Amidst a grand welcome, Ye Chen finally returned to his company.

"President Jiang! Tianyu Media has called several times, insisting on contacting you!"

Upon meeting Jiang Mengting, the business manager immediately reported to his supervisor.

"Tianyu Media?" Jiang Mengting's eyes turned cold. "What do they want this time?"

"Uh..." The business manager looked at Ye Chen, then at Jiang Mengting, and said weakly, "The other party wants Teacher Ye Chen's time slot in Shanghai."

Xu Hao's lips twitched. Why are they sending resources again?

Is Tianyu Entertainment addicted to giving away money, or are they just a bunch of money-giving geniuses?

"Just as I expected! It's that same trick again. Even if you give them the prime time, they still can't handle it!" Jiang Mengting said dismissively.

"President Jiang, Tianyu Entertainment is going too far! Let's not agree to this this time!"

Xu Hao was furious!

They're serving sugar, they're not minotaurs!

How can you say that we're giving up prime time slots to others one after another?

But Jiang Mengting smiled wickedly: "You won't agree? No, I have an even more ruthless trick that will make them suffer!"

"What move?" Xu Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
