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

Yi Song slowly sat down and remained silent for a moment while looking at the comments.

"If I had to give scores, Ye Chen's impromptu song and the student's assignment would be perfect!"

"It's not about personal feelings, but rather that his song 'The Wind Rises' is perfect in three aspects: the relevance of the theme, the quality of the melody, and the piano performance!"

She paused, looked at the camera, her expression complex: "This song is extremely valuable!"

"It's not just about the quality, but more importantly, the subject matter is far more sophisticated than romance novels."

"It's about everyone's youth, the regrets and resentments of not being able to grasp things in the wind."

After hearing these words...

The viewers in the live stream went crazy again!

……

At this very moment, Tianyu Entertainment.

Wu Yifan stared at the live stream screen, his eyes bloodshot.

"Like a primary school student's wild imagination! The lyrics are flowery, but empty and meaningless! Completely devoid of substance!" He suddenly grabbed an ashtray and smashed it against the company's large screen. "This is improvised?! It's definitely pre-written! Completely prepared beforehand!"

Ashtray shards flew everywhere, and the assistant huddled in a corner, too afraid to utter a sound.

Li Qiulan raised her hand to her forehead. The child had another episode!

"Get me some online trolls!" Wu Yifan's face twisted in pain. "I don't believe we can't take him down!"

"He has nothing to begin with, all he does is smash things!" Hua Chengyu said with disgust. "Being in the same manager as this person is fucking torture!"

Watching Wu Yifan frantically call his online trolls, Hua Chengyu just wanted to stay away from that emotionally unstable guy!

He turned around and moved to another room, instructing his assistant to continue streaming the content.

……

A hideout for online trolls.

"Dude, how can you criticize this? Ye Chen wrote it on the spot, and his singing was flawless. The comments section is full of praise... Criticizing him directly will backfire."

"Idiot!" The online troll leader, cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "Trying to smear the song? We'll smear him for violating regulations by performing it! Writing a song on the spot is a new addition to the repertoire, without approval! This is a huge opening!"

"Shall I take action now and release a press release?"

"What are you talking about!" The boss slammed his hand on the table. "First, report to the sugar daddy that Ye Chen's singing was flawless, that conventional methods failed, and make him pay more!"

"Now that the money's in place, we'll split it into two groups! One group will criticize his illegal performance, and the other will stick to the old plan: use Japanese and Korean singers to discredit him, saying that Chinese music is garbage!"

"Great! Big brother is still the best!"

"Hmph, Ye Chen, no matter how good your singing is, it can't outweigh a violation notice."

……

at the same time.

The fans at the scene started to get anxious!

[Ye Chen is playing like this?! During our interaction, he's grabbing the mic no matter how many old songs we request!]

[Ye Chen is too cunning! He actually wrote it down on the spot! Strategist! We need a strategist!]

[Waaaaah~ The chance to sing two old songs just slipped away! Damn it!]

[Group owner! Please say something! How can we get the microphone this time?!]

[Oh no! This time, Chen Mi's image is really going to collapse! She'll be laughed at by other fans!]

Looking at the group messages, the strategist has gone missing!

Chen Tangbao is anxious too!

She crouched down and groped her way to Zhao Xiaogang's location inside the venue.

Then she discovered!

His own strategist was deeply moved by Ye Chen's song!

Oh no! The strategist is in a bad mood!

The smartest one among us wouldn't be about to betray us, would he?

Chen Tangbao grabbed Zhao Xiaogang by the neck and shook him violently: "Strategist! We can't play any old songs! What do we do now?!"

Zhao Xiaogang was shaken so badly his brain was practically spinning. He shoved her away, saying, "Stop shaking me! Let me think..."

He wiped his eyes and stared at the piano on the stage.

Zhao Xiaogang's eyes, which had been unfocused, slowly focused: "Since he can write incredibly difficult songs to sing to defend against us..."

"Then let's turn the tables on each other?!" Chen Tangbao's eyes lit up.

"Right!" Zhao Xiaogang slapped his thigh. "Isn't there an interactive segment later? Let the chosen brothers come up with questions that are way beyond the syllabus!"

"The harder the better?"

"The harder the better!" Zhao Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "Not just any topic will do! He can write about it, right? Let's make it incredibly difficult for him!"

Chen Tangbao gasped, "Strategist, are you trying to kill Chen Tang?"

"You can't force him to quit!" Zhao Xiaogang said with a friendly smile. "If he can't write anything, he'll have to stick to singing old songs! Then, the microphone will still be ours, won't it?"

"Yeah! He set an incredibly difficult question, enough to kill Ye Chen! Who told him to bully us like that!" Chen Tangbao gave a thumbs up!

"There's nothing I can do; it's getting harder and harder to sing a song for Ye Chen!"

After the two discussed and agreed on their ideas,

Subsequently, Zhao Xiaogang shared these thoughts in the group!

"In conclusion, after the next round of interactive activities, we'll immediately present a high-difficulty challenge! To sing for Ye Chen! To prevent us Chen Tang fans from being disappointed! Go for it!!!"

The fans in the group seemed to have found their direction and sent messages to express their support:

[There are thousands of music lovers in the group, almost a third of the audience, so our chances of being selected by Ye Chen are very high!]

[Listen to the strategist and group leader! Give us tricky questions; only by stumping Ye Chen can we sing old songs!]

[These interaction rules are actually in our favor! Ye Chen, don't blame us for being cruel later, didn't you choose these rules, my idol!]

[Our advantage lies with us! Everyone should strive to come up with more challenging problems!]

……

The concert scene.

The atmosphere, which had been boiling over for a long time, finally calmed down.

Ye Chen looked in Wang Haoran's direction: "Wang Haoran, are you satisfied with this rendition of 'The Wind Rises'?"

The audience's microphones were turned on again by the director.

Upon discovering this, Wang Haoran immediately gripped the microphone and roared, "Satisfied!!!"

The fans around him also joined in the shouting!

"This song is amazing! Sing it again, Ye Shen!!"

Wang Haoran really hadn't heard enough!

He was completely captivated by "The Wind Rises"!

It's a simple melody, yet it's like a life movie that opens up memories of youth!

The school's basketball court, the bell, the classrooms, the desks, the old friends...

These feelings are like partings and losses, yet they also bring a sense of relief!

It's like saying goodbye to youth, or bidding farewell to youth itself!

A mix of emotions welled up inside me, and I couldn't shake it off for a long time!

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Singing it again would take up another interaction opportunity."

"Oh? Well, forget it then." Wang Haoran said with some disappointment and a pitiful look, "I have to leave the remaining two interaction opportunities for other fans. I can't take up one more opportunity."

"Alright, let's continue the concert."

Ye Chen turned around and slowly walked back to the center of the stage: "Next song is 'A Song Not Written for Anyone,' thank you for your hard work with the accompaniment teachers."

The accompanying band quickly adjusted their mindset and got into work mode.

These few female musicians in white, each holding a violin and a cello, sat in two rows in the middle of the stage.

The stage was shrouded in mist, with lights shimmering and intertwining.

The central main screen was pitch black, serving as a pure black curtain, with various colored lights shining on it in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

On the stage frame, several rings of lights shone brilliantly.

At the top center, a hollowed-out concentric sphere, radiating light, slowly descends.

From a distance, Ye Chen and several accompanying musicians looked as if they were being illuminated by UFO-like rays in the center of the stage.

The intro to "A Song Not Written for Anyone" begins with a slow, gentle melody.
