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

Ye Chen snapped out of his thoughts.

His gaze settled on Menglong, and his tone became calm: "Suitable, I'll take this topic."

Luo Songyue's eyes lit up: "Mr. Ye Chen, if you need anything during your creative process, please feel free to contact my secretary."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment.

Several suitable songs, encouraging and inspiring students taking the college entrance examination, almost simultaneously came to mind.

"Now, I actually have a need," Ye Chen suddenly smiled.

"Just tell me what you want," Luo Songyue said sincerely. "We hope these songs are good enough!"

"I think these songs can be used to cheer on students for the college entrance examination not only this year, but also every year in the future!"

"May their dreams come true, accompanied by songs and through their hard work!"

These words touched everyone in the room to some extent.

The oppressive atmosphere during the college entrance examination period is indeed an unforgettable experience for many people.

But it is also an inevitable part of life for Chinese people.

High school life is a unique memory of youth for Chinese people, and the college entrance examination evokes a special feeling, as it is always linked to one's life.

Ye Chen also hopes that the song can soothe the depressed and anxious hearts of the test takers and accompany them to get into their desired schools.

Therefore, he really needs some cooperation:

"Our company mainly produces pop songs and features mostly young artists, so I would like to ask Director Luo to arrange a group of older singers for me, around the age of Ms. Li Shuyuan."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the room.

"Mr. Ye Chen, your voice is that of an elderly person... and you are a young student, which is somewhat..." Deputy Director Huang slowly broke the silence.

"Sometimes, the composure, blessings, and expectations of an elderly person's voice... when added to our subject matter, might have a surprising effect." Ye Chen smiled slightly, without explaining further.

"Add! As long as the song is good, anything is negotiable!" Luo Songyue laughed heartily, stood up and shook hands with Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye Chen, then we'll wait for your good news. Time is of the essence, the sooner the better, please." Deputy Director Huang also hurriedly stood up, straightened his clothes, and extended his hand to Ye Chen.

"We'll release three demos within a week," Ye Chen replied, extending his hand.

"So fast?" Deputy Director Huang's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise.

Ye Chen's lips twitched: "Didn't you say 'the sooner the better'?"

Deputy Director Huang paused for a second, then burst into laughter, turning to Luo Songyue and saying, "Professor Zhang is right. You're a worthwhile person!"

Fang Qian stood in the corner, flipping through a long list of to-do items on her tablet.

She silently rolled her eyes, her pink lips slightly pouting: "I had to work on the copyrights for 'I Love You' and 'Love You' this morning, and now there are several more... Boss, are you trying to kill me?"

Xu Hao leaned closer: "You've been with him for two years, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"I can't get used to it," Fang Qian said through gritted teeth.

The group got up and left.

As Menglong passed by Ye Chen, he whispered, "Thank you, Teacher Ye Chen."

"Yu Menglong," Ye Chen called out to him casually.

"???" She turned around and froze.

"How about you do the harmonies for the next few songs, and we can also sing a new song called 'Youth' together?"

Yu Menglong's eyes widened suddenly: "Me? Me? Can I do it?"

Ye Chen nodded and confirmed, "Don't always stay alone, go out and sing more often."

Yu Menglong stood there, her lips moved but she didn't say anything. In the end, she just nodded vigorously.

Watching this scene, the assistant couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why is the boss suddenly so attentive to him..."

"Xiaoqian, get ready to start the book. We'll be recording the demo in a bit." Ye Chen turned and went back to his office.

The assistant looked up at the sky, her face pale, and said miserably, "Will I ever be able to leave work on time?"

"A playlist of ten songs themed around the college entrance exam! It's killing me! The boss is even including a backup singer!"

"Didn't you say you couldn't get used to it?" Xu Hao said, trying not to laugh.

"Shut up." The assistant glared at him angrily.

"Stop fooling around, I have to go help Brother Chen with several songs for students taking the college entrance exam. This is going to be a tough battle."

Xu Hao fled in a flash, leaving Fang Qian there, heartbroken and speechless.

……

Upon returning to his office, Ye Chen immediately wrote "The Youth".

He remembered that this class song, which accompanied countless high school students, had a version sung by Menglong Xiaoge.

As for female voices... Wang Xinlin?

No, her voice is too sweet; it's not suitable.

Um...right! The one giving me the narration, Du Yeqiu!

Her voice is both powerful and energetic, making her quite suitable for this song.

After finalizing the singer selection, Ye Chen shifted his focus back to choosing the song.

Finally, after much deliberation, Ye Chen chose "My Sky", "Blooming All the Way", "Proud Youth", "Chapter", "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" and "My Future Is Not a Dream".

After finalizing the song, Ye Chen began writing furiously.

"Holy crap?!" Xu Hao exclaimed as soon as he entered, seeing Ye Chen scribbling and drawing.

He quickly covered his mouth, afraid of interrupting Brother Chen's train of thought.

"Here." Before he could say anything, Ye Chen handed him a sheet of musical notation paper.

"This is...?" Xu Hao took the manuscript paper with a puzzled look.

Upon closer inspection, he was so excited he almost jumped for joy: "This is a new song?!"

The ink isn't even dry yet! It was definitely just written!

"I'm planning to have this song sung by our company's trainees, Du Yeqiu and Yu Menglong. What do you think?"

"I know Yu Menglong, but who is this Du Yeqiu?" Xu Hao muttered to himself as he examined the sheet music.

"Young man? Isn't this about the college entrance exam? Why is the song title so simple?"

Ye Chen did not answer and continued copying the sheet music.

Xu Hao followed the musical score downwards, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the melody of the song was very good!

As he read further, he even subconsciously began to sight-sing along with the sheet music and lyrics:

"I'm still the same boy I always was, without the slightest change."

"Time is merely a test; the belief planted in my heart has not diminished in the slightest..."

Hearing that somewhat rough voice singing the ethereal "Youth," Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Xu! You'd better stop singing!"

"Hehe, well... I felt the rhythm of this song was pretty good, so I couldn't resist trying to sing it out." Xu Hao chuckled sheepishly.

He does not mean that.

A thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind, and he quickly pressed his advantage: "Brother Xu, I need your help."

"Huh? Do we need to be so polite?" Xu Hao patted his chest and said boldly.

Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile: "Then sing me 'Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart,' it's a rock song, so it's not picky about your voice."

"What? Me? You mean me?" Xu Hao pointed to the tip of his nose, utterly astonished!

Why did he become a music director? It's because he couldn't produce good songs or a good voice on stage, so he had to move behind the scenes!

Ye Chen nodded seriously in confirmation: "With your voice, this rock song is definitely yours!"

"No? Brother Chen! You're really going to sing for me?" Xu Hao's face was filled with disbelief, but deep down he couldn't help but want to roar to the heavens!
