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

"In the name of love, are you still willing?"

The last sentence was spoken in a gentle voice, without any accompaniment, only the pure human voice resonating throughout the venue.

The audience was slightly taken aback.

Then, everyone present suddenly erupted with their emotions!

They all stood up and responded to Ye Chen with all their might!

"I do!"

"Yes, I do!"

"Yes! I do!!!"

"..."

The enthusiastic response from tens of thousands of viewers ignited the passion of the audience in the live stream!

With Ye Chen's several choruses, the viewers in the live broadcast room were absolutely amazed!

At this moment, they expressed their thoughts frantically through the live chat:

[It's so beautiful! I almost cried, sob... I wish Ye Chen could heal me all over again!]

Ye Chen's song perfectly captures our lost youth! The lyrics really resonated with me; the word "youth" is interpreted so aptly!

[This time last year, I lost her, taking away the last vestige of my illusions about love. Thank you, Ye Chen, for reminding me that we can never go back to the way things were!]

I'm so looking forward to this song! I hope the recorded version will be released soon!

[What kind of divine song is this that brings tears to my eyes?! Ye Chen, are you trying to kill us all?!]

Clearly, many viewers are deeply affected by the emotions evoked by "The Wind Rises".

Some people were still eager for more and wanted to hear the official recording immediately.

……

The audience stands at the scene.

Wang Haoran looked excited; he remained thrilled throughout the entire song!

It wasn't just because Ye Chen was there and wrote a song for him!

Most importantly, Ye Chen truly captured the innocent confusion of youth in his singing!

That kind of fearless and impulsive personality!

The regret of longing for love but not knowing how to properly pursue it.

No! I must leave no regrets at this moment!

Thinking of this, Wang Haoran took out his phone.

He immediately filmed the audience's response to Ye Chen:

"We've hit the jackpot with our fried fish! We need to keep taking advantage of Ye Shen, otherwise we'll have no new songs to listen to after he retires!"

……

On the stage right now.

Ye Chen stood up and bowed to the audience: "Thank you all for listening to my song 'The Wind Rises.' May you all see the world and live half your lives, and still be young at heart."

"Ye Chen! That's beautiful!!!"

"Ye Chen! We love you!!!"

The applause and cheers from the fans at the scene blended into a wave of sound.

It was even more exciting than when the previous songs ended!

Seeing this, Li Jian gasped, "A piece written on the spot, sung a cappella, and it's this popular!"

"If a full remix were released, the streaming numbers would be staggering!" He gasped for breath and slumped into his chair.

Ye Chen sang "The Wind Rises" without accompaniment or auto-tuning!

Ye Chen's transition between true and falsetto voices was seamless, and he sang with unwavering stability!

Even that one pure human voice is top-notch professional, both inside and outside the industry!

Well, it seems the music scene has gained another textbook example of singing skills!

"If all singers in the Chinese music scene were like Ye Chen, would listeners still be so easily exploited by Western music?!"

Li Jian gave a wry smile.

……

Special Guest Area.

Kim Hae-gil stared at the sheet music on the big screen, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Clean, clear, and pure, it perfectly expresses the love for lost youth."

Wang Xinlin's eyes welled up with tears, her face filled with admiration: "Teacher Ye Chen is amazing! Not a single word in the lyrics mentions youth, yet every line is about youth!"

Walking and stopping, fighting against time... isn't this just like the wind that blew outside the classroom window back then?

"Improvisation in F major, male voices are inherently prone to straining, and he sang the chorus with his voice completely open, the resonance was so tight! Is Ye Chen's brain and voice made of iron?!" Li Yuguang's eyes widened, his expression full of disbelief!

If he were to sing this song, he wouldn't even be able to do it live the first time.

Even if you give him an hour to practice beforehand, he still won't be able to sing half as well as Ye Chen!

Yu Menglong was equally moved: "Music about youth is the hardest to write, but Teacher Ye Chen has turned the elusive nature of youth into concrete chords!"

"The wind leaves no trace, which means it can't be grasped or held onto, right? Just like youth, isn't it something we all want to hold onto, but we can't?" Professor Zhang nodded slowly, quite agreeing.

"As expected of a professor, whatever the question, it gets straight to the point," Zhang Yiming joked with a smile.

"This song is like a true reflection of most people's lives. It evokes complex emotions when you go out to work hard but achieve nothing and return home empty-handed," Li Shuyuan sighed with emotion.

"On the other hand, Yiming, the older I get, the less I can listen to your songs."

Zhang Yiming's smile faltered: The clown is me?!

But when he thought about it, it really was true!

Ye Chen's "The Wind Rises" has lyrics that are truly heartfelt!

The theme is campus youth, but Ye Chen didn't write about any one person's youth; instead, he wrote about everyone's youth!

It expresses a beautiful vision and longing for the world, and a dream of traveling the world with a sword.

I walked and stopped along the way, and by the time I came to my senses, a long time had passed.

It captures the loneliness and desolation of a life where things have changed and youth is gone.

But Ye Chen also offered healing and gentleness in the melody and lyrics.

"My songs express one person's innermost thoughts, while his songs depict the spirit of a generation." Zhang Yiming's lips curled into a bitter smile again. "No wonder my songs only stay popular for a short time; it turns out there are other issues too!"

The entire room fell silent.

Tengger suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, at least you've recognized the gap."

……

A few minutes ago, in the live stream of "Grandma Piano".

As soon as Ye Chen started playing the intro, Yi Song stood up shakily, his face full of horror!

She suddenly put on her reading glasses and shoved her face into the screen: "This...this is improvised accompaniment?"

"Grandma?" The little grandson next to her was startled.

"I never expected Ye Chen's piano playing to be so amazing!" The piano grandma exclaimed in shock!

Piano is her forte!

Without any other musical accompaniment, Ye Chen played this piece very smoothly!

"His piano playing is no less than mine!" Yi Song's eyes widened, his voice tightening. "Plus his understanding of music... it's even far superior to mine!"

The grandson was so frightened after hearing this that he almost suffocated!

"Ye Chen is far superior to you?! Grandma, you're a national first-class performer!"

The thousands of viewers in the live stream were going crazy; the chat exploded with comments.

[Grandma Piano, don't be modest! You're from the national team!]

A national first-class performer says he's not as good as him?! My CPU is fried!

[This piano skill level and you're telling me he's a pop music king?! Were he singing with his feet before?!]

[I've been learning piano for five years, and my grandma said during a live stream that I play like a woodpecker, while Ye Chen's improvisation sounds like Debussy?!]

[Grandma Piano, could you please give Ye Chen a score for his impromptu song and piano performance?]

"Give Ye Chen a score?" Yi Song looked at the comments and fell silent.
