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

"But... he's never been a mentor before," the planner muttered, somewhat uneasy.

"He doesn't need to be a mentor. Just his presence is enough to guarantee high ratings," the director declared loudly!

"Then... what are we going to do with him?" The assistant director and the planner looked at each other in bewilderment.

The director's eyes burned with fervor: "What are you here for? To teach those singers what singing really is!"

Everyone in the conference room was trembling!

It feels so unreal!

……

At this moment.

Zhang Yiming's singer group also erupted in chaos!

Upon seeing the video, Zhang Yiming immediately shared the link in the group chat: "I admit defeat. After all these years, I'm completely convinced by Ye Chen!"

Wu Yifan replied instantly, his tone full of sarcasm:

"Admit defeat? You're exaggerating. His songs are popular, that's true, but it's not enough to scare you all like this. They're all about the right topics; anyone could have sung them and they would have been hits. He just chose a good time."

Zhang Yiming was so indignant!

He also posted a screenshot—a scene of the entire audience singing along to the chorus of "Ode to Young China":

"Come on! Tell me, who else could make twelve thousand people sing like that? If you're so capable, you do it!"

"He wrote two songs for my concert last week. He wrote them in three minutes. After I sang them, half of my own fans switched sides," Wang Xinlin suddenly interjected.

"Then you're too weak," Wu Yifan sneered.

Wang Xinlin almost blushed, sending several angry emojis in a row: "You try it? I almost couldn't sing his original female key version of 'I Love You.' He just sang it in his male voice."

"So what? There are plenty of people who can sing high notes." Wu Yifan was silent for only two seconds before continuing to be stubborn, "I just can't stand how you guys hype him up. He's only sung a few patriotic songs? And you're already calling him a god?"

"It's not about how many songs he sang! The key is that after he finished singing, everyone in the audience remembered it."

"So what? He's still retiring from the entertainment industry." Wu Yifan mocked sarcastically.

"I may not have your popularity, but I do have some connections." Zhang Yiming posted a screenshot of the program's invitation to Ye Chen. "It seems that Ye Chen himself may not be able to back out."

"...war cow!" Wu Yifan was dumbfounded and only managed to utter two words after a long pause.

"Are you going to the Hangzhou show or not?" Kim Hae-gil tagged Wu Yifan for the first time ever.

After a long pause, Wu Yifan said, "I'm not going! He got lucky in the first round, but if he doesn't do well in the second, he'll just be asking for trouble if he keeps singing patriotic songs!"

Kim Hae-gil: "Those who are stubborn are usually the ones who kneel down the fastest."

The group fell silent.

Finally, Zhang Yiming broke the ice: "I'm truly impressed. If I had even a third of his skill, I wouldn't have gone years without trending on social media."

Wang Xinlin: "Don't even mention a third of his skill. I'd have to catch up to even one of his fingers in ten years."

Zhang Yiming: "Before he retires from the entertainment industry, I want to sing a duet with him."

"I want to too."

"...I want to too."

"Let's line up, I'm first!" Seeing that more and more people wanted to sing along, Zhang Yiming got anxious!

……

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Net Village Music.

"You mean Ye Chen has uploaded three new songs again?! Didn't he release ten or so patriotic songs first thing this morning?!"

Li Jun, the director of Wangcun Music, was stunned when he put on the headphones and listened!

Although the ten patriotic songs were not officially released on music platforms.

But that kind of influence caused their platform to crash!

If it weren't for Tencent Music, a competitor, diverting traffic, the servers would probably have crashed by the morning!

But now, the song "Hard to Recite Sutra" playing in his headphones filled him with uncontrollable ecstasy!

This song is guaranteed to become a huge hit once it's released!

"That's right! The three songs are very different in style, and the key is that their quality is several levels higher than Ye Chen's songs, and even higher than previous songs in the music scene!" The head of the review department nodded repeatedly!

At this moment, the shock on his face had not subsided at all.

These three songs are absolutely amazing!

It was so amazing that even the most malicious reviewers couldn't find any fault with it!

All copyrighted materials and project documents were complete, leaving no room for criticism during the review process.

"Mr. Li, do you think it's possible that Ye Chen had someone else write it for him?" the manager asked, voicing his curiosity.

The dramatic change in the quality of songs makes it hard not to be suspicious and gossipy.

Li Jun coldly rebuked him: "Don't spread rumors! Ye Chen is extremely particular about original works. I've met him; with his character, who in the industry wouldn't trust him?"

"He doesn't care if you say his songs are low quality, but if you say he used a ghostwriter, then you're the most petty abbot."

"And ghostwriting... Someone who can write these three songs needs to ghostwrite for a near-top-tier singer?!"

The audition supervisor was utterly puzzled: "This song is so...unique? Or avant-garde, it's unheard of in the entire music industry! And Ye Chen's singing style is also unprecedented!"

Compared to Ye Chen's previous catchy love songs, this song is a top-notch masterpiece in terms of melody, lyrics, and vocals!

That's why Li Jun found it quite strange.

Didn't you already say you were going to retire from the music industry? How come you've released three new songs in a row?!

Two of them are even ancient songs. Aren't you crossing over into a whole new field?!

There is a kind of nonsensical and bizarre thing that makes him unable to ride the sister.

Unable to figure it out, Li Jun simply stopped thinking about it: "Forget it! If there are no problems with the review, let's launch it normally."

"Okay, should we arrange operations for Ye Chen this time?"

"Shengtang has been around for four or five years and hasn't 'recharged' Ye Chen's account. What are you going to do with managing him? Just use the natural algorithm as usual and let it run on its own!"

This kind of avant-garde song, which has never appeared in the Chinese music scene before, needs real, natural traffic to verify its authenticity!

The sugar company didn't even mention "recharging," so what are you "operating" for them?

Li Jun was extremely disappointed in him!

Shortly after, on the hour.

On mainstream platforms such as NetVillage Music and Penguin Music.

Three new songs have been simultaneously updated on Ye Chen's account.

Soon, Ye Chen's millions of followers across various platforms received the notification one by one:

[Singer Ye Chen, whom you follow, has released a new song! Come and listen!]

This news caused an uproar not only online, but also sparked widespread discussion throughout society!

……

Shengtang Entertainment, Operations Department.

"Director! Ye Chen's song is a hit!"

Before the department head even stepped into the operations director's office, he started yelling and shouting!

"How are the data results for Teacher Ye Chen's new song?" Fang Qian followed up.

She rushed to the operations department as soon as Ye Chen's new work was released.

The department head reported to his supervisor with great excitement:

"In less than ten minutes after its release, 'Agony' had over 100,000 views?! 'Hard to Recite Sutra' had 200,000?! And 'Moonlight' is almost at 500,000 views!"

"The total plays for the three songs have exceeded 800,000?! This growth rate is unbelievable!" The operations director's hands were trembling as he looked at the report he had just received!

"My God! This data is going to explode!" The assistant's mouth dropped open, and he was trembling all over!
