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

Yu Menglong was stunned!

Teacher Ye Chen actually invited me to transfer to his company!

He even voluntarily paid the compensation for his previous contract!

Even Xu Hao was caught off guard!

Such a big deal, didn't you even discuss it with President Jiang?! Brother Chen just decided to poach people for a fee so boldly?

Yu Menglong lowered her head, her voice filled with gratitude and hesitation: "Teacher Ye Chen... thank you. Really, thank you."

"I... want to try again. I haven't proven myself at that company yet."

"I can't let you spend money on the penalty for breach of contract. I... I want to finish this part myself."

Yu Menglong refused.

He wanted to be persistent for himself one more time.

Moreover, the penalty for breach of contract is substantial, and he doesn't want Shengtang to waste money because of him.

Xu Hao and Li Shuyuan looked at each other in bewilderment!

"No... Brother Chen offered to pay the breach of contract fee for him, and he still refused? Are there still such pure people these days?" Xu Hao was somewhat astonished.

"This child is too honest. So honest it breaks my heart." Li Shuyuan shook her head and sighed.

In this circle, it's called foolish. In terms of character, it's called integrity.

"Can backbone put food on the table? Teacher Ye Chen is really trying to save him!"

Du Yeqiu clicked her tongue, looking incredulous: "Teacher Ye Chen even offered to pay the penalty for breach of contract, doesn't that mean he acknowledges me? This blockhead Yu! He actually refused!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen sighed inwardly: "Alas, with his personality, he's really prone to suffering losses."

"Alright then." Ye Chen shook his head regretfully. "There's a special segment at my next concert. Could you help me manage the stage and provide some support?"

The next concert will mainly feature songs that are difficult to sing.

In that case, the musical in the middle becomes a problem.

After all, most technically demanding musicals are from abroad.

Therefore, it would be better to continue the style of the May Fourth Movement, let Yu Menglong participate in it, and then gradually influence and change him.

Ye Chen looked at him, her tone serious: "You can't refuse this time, can you?"

"Of course, it's an honor for me!" Yu Menglong's eyes reddened slightly as she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Okay, you and Du Yeqiu, keep up the good work. If you sing 'Youth' well, you two will be the original singers."

"What?! Master! I can be the original singer?! Aren't we the first singers?!" Du Yeqiu pointed to his nose, his face full of excitement!

Ye Chen nodded: "It's the same for everyone, except that 'All the Way to Bloom' is a duet this time, but its original singer was originally Wang Xinlin."

Li Shuyuan stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape!

"Ye Chen...you, you gave the original singer to them? Isn't this a collaborative project assigned by the Education Bureau? There's no contractual agreement, you don't have to..." Her lips trembled with excitement!

Ye Chen wrote a song, and he was actually willing to let the original singer sing it!

It's important to understand that this is merely a collaboration spearheaded by the State Education Commission!

Without a specific contract, they were merely making their debut performance.

But Ye Chen actually gave the original work directly to a minor artist and a trainee!

Everyone else was equally astonished!

This is the first time I've seen a pop singer hand over their original songs to a trainee!

Is Teacher Ye Chen grooming a successor or doing charity work?!

Xu Hao was also shocked, but he quickly figured it out!

Brother Chen's skills are amazing! ...

The original singer was given away, but the artists gradually came under Shengtang's banner!

Even among these people, Brother Chen is trying to include Yu Menglong in Shengtang!

Yu Menglong, Du Yeqiu, and Wang Xinlin—which one can escape?

The song was written by Brother Chen, but the original singers are credited, and the copyright still belongs to Brother Chen!

That's called casting a long line to catch a big fish! No wonder he's my Brother Chen!

Du Yeqiu grabbed Yu Menglong's sleeve, so excited she was almost incoherent: "Did you hear that? The original singer! The two of us! The original singer!"

"Teacher Ye Chen... I..." Yu Menglong stared blankly at Ye Chen, unable to speak.

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Stop talking, just sing well. Go for a walk after you finish singing, that's better than anything else."

Li Shuyuan took a deep breath and said, "Ye Chen... not only can he write songs, but he also cares about people."

"Now, teachers, please come and record the choral version of 'A Journey of Blossoms'," Ye Chen said, standing up and addressing the two choirs.

"Big friends" and "little friends" went to their respective performance areas under the guidance of Xu Hao and Cao Baolong.

In order to meet the deadline, Ye Chen personally took charge of the choir.

Because the next concert can't be as "rough" as the one in the mountain city; the stage design and effects have to keep up with the quality of the songs.

This kind of concert will attract more people, making it easier to hold a concert at the Bird's Nest!

Therefore, Ye Chen needs to quickly dedicate time to the songs and stage effects for the next concert.

……

After a full day of intense collaboration.

Not just Du Yeqiu, Yu Menglong, the choir, and others...

Xu Hao, apart from "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," has sung and recorded his songs multiple times...

Finally, at 10 p.m., an ideal effect was achieved.

At the company entrance, Ye Chen and his assistant Xu Hao, among others, saw off the participants in this collaborative performance.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Ye Chen. If it weren't for your correction, we would have been pronouncing it wrong our whole lives."

"Working with Teacher Ye Chen today has taught us old folks a lot of skills."

"Teacher Ye Chen's singing method is much more in line with the vocal tract structure. Music textbooks really need to be updated! Otherwise, music students will end up like us, singing with incorrect pronunciation their whole lives!"

"Five or six high-quality songs were recorded in one day! All thanks to Mr. Ye Chen's guidance!"

"It's a pity Professor Zhang isn't here today, otherwise he probably would have truly become Mr. Ye Chen's apprentice."

"..."

The group boarded the car one after another, their words filled with emotion, and they shared the singing techniques they had just learned.

Seeing this scene, Yu Menglong's heart couldn't help but clench!

The older generation of singers, they were a magnificent group!

Everyone was discussing the techniques taught by Teacher Ye Chen, who was several rounds younger than him!

He even had a feeling that if these people weren't about to retire, they would all be vying to become Ye Chen's disciples!

"This world is a little crazy... I can't quite tell..." Yu Menglang was completely numb!

Xu Hao rubbed his sore throat: "Recorded seven songs in one day?! Brother Chen, are you even human?"

Ye Chen was about to speak when his assistant interrupted him!

"Boss, Wu Yifan has also submitted a song contest. It's in the K-pop style, and they've got a Korean group arranging the music. There's also a boy band from Xinghe Music and Zhang Yiming from Yuanshi Music participating."

"Let them report it," Ye Chen said with a faint smile.

Xu Hao grew anxious: "Aren't you worried? Those people have tons of fans and their marketing is aggressive..."

Ye Chen countered, "Do you think students want to hear high-energy, upbeat music before the college entrance exam, or do they want someone to tell them, 'It's okay, I understand you'?"
