Entertainment: The Fans Always Grab the Mic. Why Has It Gone Silent? Ye Chen dreams of performing a concert at the Bird’s Nest. After getting hit by a construction truck, he transmigrates into a book set in a world starved of music, where he becomes a young pop idol known for love songs. The bad news: He has only five concerts left before he has to give up singing and leave the industry. The good news: The original owner has an incredible voice that can span several octaves! The bad news: The original owner sings sugary pop songs, so at every concert the fans grab the mic and sing along. The good news: Ye Chen’s head is full of hit songs from Earth! To make his dream of performing at the Bird’s Nest come true, and to stop the fans from grabbing the mic, Ye Chen goes all out and brings out a whole new set of songs! The first concert has a red-themed setlist: “Grandma,” “A Misplaced Time and Space,” “A Young China”… The fans are moved to tears: Why would we even grab the mic? These songs honor the fallen and move millions. Why would we sing over them?! The second concert has a difficult-songs theme: “Moonlight,” “Agony,” “Dala Bengba”… Ye Chen: “The mic’s yours. Why has it gone silent? Were you born not to sing?” The fans are furious: “Ye, you can’t be serious! These songs are either all high-note showboating or have lyrics that tie your tongue in knots!” Ye Chen keeps releasing songs that set the charts ablaze mid-month, then becomes a legend at the end-of-month concert! His fans wait for a new song every day and a concert every month! Fellow singers: “Ye Chen releases songs so fast that the entire music industry can’t keep up!!!” Later, when officials come calling, he releases “Mother Chen Asks Why We Fight,” “Loyalty to the Country,” “Myriad Borders,” and “Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth”… Ye Chen is stunned: “I just wanted to retire from the industry. How did I end up as a strategic nuclear weapon for the nation?”
