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

Chen Ping and Lin Xiaotang exchanged a glance, but neither spoke.

"Well... this was all specially approved by the Ministry of Culture in Beijing, so naturally the Ministry of Culture should take charge of this matter."

Chen Ping remained expressionless and calmly passed the buck to his superiors.

"This comrade," he pointed to Lin Xiaotang, "is the one from the Ministry of Culture who came to watch your performance."

"She was there the whole time," Chen Ping added silently.

"..." Lin Xiaotang was speechless.

What?! I was there the whole time?! Did you mean you wanted to contact the bureau and have me keep watch to see if there were any prohibited words?!

You didn't answer anything yourself, but instead threw Ye Chen's question back at me!

It's true! Experience really pays off!

"Mr. Ye Chen, you... writing songs on the spot during a concert, there has never been a case like this in the music industry before."

Lin Xiaotang spoke slowly, thinking as she spoke.

"So, I also need a notification from my superiors." She gave an awkward but polite smile.

Ye Chen nodded slightly: "It's the same everywhere. It's only right to admit your mistakes and accept punishment if you break the rules."

……

"It's a pity Zhang Yiming and the others left too early, otherwise they would have definitely generated several trending topics about Teacher Ye Chen!"

After seeing off the three officials, Kim Hae-gil and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They never imagined that Ye Chen's concert would attract the attention of the Ministry of Culture, who would personally come to the scene!

This is a unique case that has never been seen before in the entire history of the music industry!

That's also true. Otherwise, how could these three officials have been placed in the broadcasting studio?

With its unparalleled live sound quality, isn't it amazing?!

"Since the three of them haven't expressed their opinions, this matter shouldn't be publicized," Xu Hao shook his head and refused.

Mengting waved her hand generously and said, "Let's go eat first! It's on me!"

The assistant, carrying the exquisitely rolled-up banner horizontally, quickly followed.

The banner was heavy, but as she held it horizontally, it felt like it lightened the burden on her button-down clothes: "The boss is really amazing!"

"After lunch, we'll be back at the company, and then we'll be busy." Xu Hao shook his head and followed his colleague. "By the way, Brother Chen! How's your voice? You're going to be a guest performer at Wang Xinlin's concert the day after tomorrow."

Wang Xinlin is a sweet-song singer from Shengtang Entertainment. After five years in the industry, she finally held a concert at the end of last year to sing her own songs.

Of course, the songs produced by Shengtang Entertainment are either co-written by Ye Chen or guided by Xu Hao, the music director.

The primary principle is to focus on love songs, sweet ballads, and catchy pop songs.

Given the world's musical level... singing this song would be a piece of cake for Ye Chen's voice.

"I'm doing great, Brother Xu. My voice is absolutely amazing when it comes to singing these simple songs!" Ye Chen smiled slightly.

Xu Hao is older than Ye Chen, but he always calls him brother.

In Xu Hao's view, Ye Chen became famous at a young age and learned opera from veteran actors since childhood. Learning opera is very hard work, but Ye Chen has a solid foundation! His future achievements will definitely not be shallow.

Ye Chen has now become the top influencer in the "love songs" category, and he's only 24 years old!

In the entertainment industry, seniority is extremely important!

Even though Ye Chen had repeatedly said it wasn't necessary, Xu Hao still cared a lot. Although Ye Chen was younger than him, he always addressed Ye Chen respectfully as "Brother Chen."

Later, they simply started talking to each other and that's what they called each other.

……

Just as Ye Chen and his group were having their meal.

The topic of Ye Chen's recent actions has become a hot topic online.

Ye Chen's fan support group is especially active; besides the official Sheng Tang photographers, they have the most authoritative video footage!

A few seconds of touching video clips, photos from the scene, enthusiastic discussions among fans… the group chat was flooded with messages:

[The tickets today, costing hundreds or even thousands, are absolutely worth it! Ye Chen sang the entire show by himself, without inviting a single guest performer!]

[They never hired backup singers before; they always let us sing the whole song. This time, Ye Chen definitely had a singing urge!]

[He's already finished singing, so what are the rest of us supposed to sing? This is a problem, it needs treatment!]

【Hey, let me tell you, that wasn't some kind of farewell concert, it was a new song release event! The whole thing was new songs! It was so moving, I cried all my tears!】

[What?! They're performing unreleased new songs at the concert! Those of us who didn't go are totally missing out!]

Online voting posts and a betting platform.

When the sale started, this place was much more lively and bustling than Ye Chen's fan group.

"No way?! Ye Chen's fans only sang two songs at his entire concert?! He sang twelve songs?!"

"I couldn't even sing a single song by Ye Chen before! This... this is like going back to the time before Jie Fang?!"

"Me?! I've been set up by capital?! It's already outrageous that Ye Chen can sing three songs in a row!"

"I don't believe it! Kill! Kill! Kill! ...! I hate it when the market opens up afterward!"

This stark contrast sparked a huge discussion, which quickly rose to the top of the trending searches on multiple platforms.

After all, in the past, Ye Chen had to earnestly "beg" his fans to finish singing three songs at his concerts before it was even possible.

In particular, Ye Chen's desperate plea on stage, "Please let me sing a song for the child!" became the root of all evil for years!

His body is frequently brought up and "whipped" from time to time, bringing joy to many netizens.

But now! What they saw in the viral video was Ye Chen's fans pleading from below the stage:

"We're here to sing for you! Not to listen to you sing, you idiot!"

"You only care about playing by yourself, why can't we play?! We want to sing a whole song together for you!!!"

"Please, Ye Chen! Let's sing a duet!"

Seeing these upside-down images of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, those who were originally thinking of going to the club for a leisurely life are now ready to get down to business!

What a tragedy that the heavens are jealous of such a talented person!

That's the only way they could comfort themselves.

Amidst the intense discussion surrounding Ye Chen's concert, the trending topics on various platforms have begun to take a strange turn:

#MorningSugarNoMoreSweetness!#

#During the entire concert, Chen Mi only sang two songs?!#

#Ye Chen's fans' image has been ruined!#

Many netizens who were lying in bed were suddenly jolted awake by their "dying" illness!

[Ye Chen's career has collapsed? Even a certain celebrity's lip-syncing performance could cause a career collapse, but Ye Chen didn't actually sing, so how could his career collapse?!]

[It's Ye Chen's fan club building!]

I told you, people shouldn't stay up all night! This is making me hallucinate!

……

the other side.

Lin Shengnan just finished her concert last night. She sang all night long, and she was exhausted.

I was planning to rest for another half hour early this morning, but my assistant woke me up with a phone call:

"Nan-jie! You're trending!"

"Huh? Trending on social media? Me? Me?" Lin Shengnan's mind was buzzing.

I'm someone who sings traditional Chinese style songs, and I'm practically on the list of intangible cultural heritage items! How can I even be trending on social media?!

"After all, you worked so hard singing the whole show! It's normal for you to trend on social media!"

"I don't mind working hard so my fans can enjoy the music!" A smug smile suddenly appeared on her lips. "By the way, has anyone called me a workaholic?"
