I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 83

Chen Qiyun arrived backstage. All the singers were on high alert, treating her as a formidable opponent.

Chen Qiyun could be considered the program’s first major heavyweight singer.

They already had a “big boss” in Qin Yunxuan, and now Chen Qiyun had arrived. Was there even any room left for them to survive in this competition?

“I believe everyone has seen already. Today, our live broadcast stage welcomes its first A-list singer, Chen Qiyun. Let’s give her a warm welcome!”

Although Director Chen was very excited, the reactions from the other singers weren’t exactly enthusiastic. They clapped half-heartedly, their minds clearly elsewhere.

The scene was somewhat awkward, but Chen Qiyun didn’t seem to care in the slightest.

She had only one goal in coming here: Qin Yunxuan. As for the others… she simply didn’t care.

Just then, a crisp, clear sound of applause broke through.

Everyone turned to look. It was Qin Yunxuan!

What was going on? Why did Qin Yunxuan look genuinely excited?

Didn’t she realize Chen Qiyun was her biggest rival?

A flicker of surprise also crossed Chen Qiyun’s face. She offered Qin Yunxuan a faint, cordial smile.

“Miss Chen, regarding today’s live stage, I hope you can offer me some guidance!” Qin Lang said, his tone carrying a hint of feigned sincerity.

Chen Qiyun responded seriously, “Guidance is too strong a word. I simply hope you can showcase the same creative prowess as before. I’m very curious to know if you are a true genius, or just all reputation.”

The others fell silent, holding their breath. Chen Qiyun’s words were so direct.

Qin Lang smiled. From Chen Qiyun’s gaze, he didn’t detect any other emotion—only a fighting spirit, a thick, palpable fighting spirit!

“Alright then, I’ll do my best not to disappoint you!” Qin Lang replied with a smile.

…

Time flew by. The third live broadcast of the singer competition was attracting even more attention than the first two!

On one hand, Qin Yunxuan had consecutively produced two classic songs, successfully stoking the fans’ anticipation. On the other hand, Chen Qiyun, who had never been keen on variety shows, had actually joined the “I Am a Singer” program!

This news was nothing short of a magnitude-12 earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Chen Qiyun’s fans spread the word far and wide. They firmly believed that with Chen Qiyun’s participation, the champion’s spot was undoubtedly hers.

For other singers in the industry, this was also an important signal: top-tier singers were now paying attention to the “I Am a Singer” stage.

If Chen Qiyun could gain significant benefits, fame, and attention from this show, other top singers would start getting restless.

As the show’s chief director, Director Chen understood this perfectly. Therefore, the third live broadcast was particularly crucial compared to the previous two!

If the third episode was a resounding success, those top singers would take action regarding the show. Only then could “I Am a Singer” truly live up to its name!

Only then could it become a truly top-tier variety show!

Just thinking about such a premier show being born from his own hands, Director Chen couldn’t suppress the surge of excitement in his heart.

What is the greatest dream for a variety show director? Naturally, it’s to create a smash-hit show of your own, to etch your name forever in the hall of fame of variety entertainment!

And today presented the perfect opportunity!

Online discussions were buzzing incessantly. There was anticipation for Qin Yunxuan, and unwavering trust in Chen Qiyun!

Some firmly believed Chen Qiyun was the reigning queen making her grand entrance!

Others believed Qin Yunxuan was the new monarch ascending the throne!

Of course, ultimately, all this buzz converged onto the “I Am a Singer” program itself!

As soon as the live broadcast stage went live, the number of online viewers had already skyrocketed past 20 million, and it was still climbing at a frantic pace.

The competition format remained the same, with the performance order based on the previous ranking.

As the newly joined singer, Chen Qiyun was second to last, while the reigning champion, Qin Yunxuan, would still take the stage last!

All the singers performed fairly well this time, but unfortunately, the spotlight wasn’t on them. Everyone’s focus was on Chen Qiyun and Qin Yunxuan.

Even Liu Qingcheng, who had been everyone’s great hope last time, had become a mere background character.

It was Chen Qiyun’s turn to come on stage.

The fans below instantly erupted into deafening cheers. The entire venue was boiling.

Backstage, a staff member’s voice trembled as he reported.

“Director Chen, this is even more explosive than last time… The number of viewers has already exceeded 50 million!”

Director Chen let out a heavy sigh of relief.

It was solid. This time, it was solid!

Fifty million! This was truly a first in variety show history!

No matter the outcome, Director Chen would leave a profound mark in the annals of variety entertainment.

“Now… it’s all up to Chen Qiyun. I hope she doesn’t drop the ball at this moment!” Director Chen murmured to himself.

Chen Qiyun, hailed as the strongest original creator among the younger generation, naturally wouldn’t drop the ball easily.

“Hello everyone. Today, on this stage, I want to sing a new song I recently wrote! This song is about dreams and perseverance. It’s called ‘In a Place You Don’t Know.’ It’s a rock-style song. I hope you like it!”

Rock? Chen Qiyun was already exploring rock music?

All the fans at the venue went wild.

Although rock is a niche genre, there’s no shortage of fans who love it!

And… those who sing rock are usually untamed guys. It’s rare for a girl to sing rock well!

Chen Qiyun had already started exploring the rock domain. She truly deserved her title as the strongest original creator of the younger generation.

Energetic music burst forth from Chen Qiyun’s guitar, instantly grabbing everyone’s ears.

“The you of now, do you feel lost? You run with all your might, yet can’t reach the distant horizon!”

Chen Qiyun’s slightly husky voice instantly captivated all the fans. Both those at the venue and those in the live stream felt the power and perseverance she wanted to convey through her song!

Backstage, Qin Lang also felt a wave of surprise.

This Chen Qiyun really was impressive. Before coming, he had listened to her songs but had never heard her sing rock!

That meant rock was a new field she had recently entered. Yet, this song already displayed a very mature musical style.

Even by Earth’s standards, it was a pretty good song!

The strongest original creator indeed lived up to her name.

“In a place you don’t know, countless eyes watch your perseverance, taking comfort in your growth!
In a place you don’t know, countless dreams persist. Even if the world’s winds are strong, they still bloom with stubbornness…”

As the song ended, the entire venue was electrified. Countless support lights flashed, and countless fans roared.

Chen Qiyun truly lived up to her fans’ expectations, delivering a high-quality song!

And it was a rock song at that!

The next one to take the stage was Qin Yunxuan.

A glimmer of schadenfreude flashed through Liu Qingcheng’s mind.

In such an atmosphere, no matter who followed, they would be utterly crushed!

“Qin Yunxuan, you are about to fall beneath Chen Qiyun’s feet. What a pity. You haven’t fully bloomed yet, but you’re about to wither.”
