I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 87

The third live performance stage of “The Singer” was a fierce battle of titans, and the fans eagerly enjoyed a thrilling feast for the eyes and ears!

Many were eagerly anticipating who would claim the title of champion this time!

Would it be the old king, Chen Qiyun, making a powerful comeback, or the new queen, Qin Yunxuan, ascending the throne?

Just as the online debates were heating up, the program team of “The Singer” surprisingly released an official announcement!

“Due to a tie in votes between contestants Qin Yunxuan and Chen Qiyun, we are activating a Weibo voting mechanism. Within the next 48 hours, log in to Weibo to participate in the vote and cast your ballot for your favorite singer. You decide who will be the champion of the third round of ‘The Singer’!”

This announcement shocked and excited everyone!

No one expected Qin Yunxuan to be neck and neck with Chen Qiyun!

Who is Chen Qiyun? She’s widely recognized as the strongest original artist among the younger generation. Qin Yunxuan actually tied with her?

For fans and netizens who hadn’t watched the live broadcast, this was undoubtedly the most unbelievable news they’d heard all year.

But for those who had seen the live show, they had to admit that Qin Yunxuan’s stage performance was truly dazzling.

It made sense that she managed to tie with Chen Qiyun.

However, this move by “The Singer” instantly ignited the passion of all the fans.

Previously, they were just spectators on the sidelines, but now…

They could actually participate through their own votes. This feeling… was something they had never experienced before!

“Hurry up and log into Weibo! Vote for our Chen Qiyun! We must support her variety show debut!”
“Absolutely! Chen Qiyun can’t lose. If she loses, my youth is over!”
“I don’t care, I only acknowledge Chen Qiyun!”

On the other side, Qin Yunxuan’s fans were not holding back either!

“Toppling a legend and proving her worth happens today! Defeat Chen Qiyun, and Xuanxuan will be the new queen!”
“No exaggeration, no denigration. Xuanxuan’s performance was absolutely perfect. If she loses, I’ll never watch ‘The Singer’ again!”
“Everyone, spread the word! Vote for our Xuanxuan!”

…

Under the influence of the show’s move, the entire internet was buzzing. Countless people spread the news and logged into Weibo to vote!

The vote counts for Qin Yunxuan and Chen Qiyun skyrocketed, both breaking through the ten million mark in less than half an hour!

The entire music industry was stunned, and other singers watched with envy.

Regardless of who ultimately won or lost, this massive wave of popularity was real. Even people who weren’t fans of either would become interested in them amidst this overwhelming publicity, allowing them to gain a large number of casual fans!

Many established singers also began to feel restless and had their agents contact the show’s head director!

Although they were big-name singers, their current popularity and heat weren’t particularly high, which is a headache for many established artists!

Each era has its own talents, each dominating the scene for a time.

Maintaining high exposure for a long time is almost impossible. But now…

An excellent opportunity lay before them: participating in “The Singer”!

After the first two live rounds, Qin Yunxuan suddenly rose to become a third-tier singer. Now, with the third round’s explosion in popularity… although she couldn’t immediately jump to second-tier, her popularity and heat would be further solidified. Even some second-tier singers might not have her level of buzz.

And popularity is one of the markers of status in the entertainment industry!

But just as fans on both sides were spreading the word and actively calling for votes, Chen Qiyun actually posted a Weibo message!

“Thank you everyone for voting for me on Weibo. However, I hope you will all vote for Qin Yunxuan instead, because in this live performance, her performance was better than mine, and her song was more excellent! I will learn from this experience and dedicate better works to everyone. Thank you!”

What was going on? Chen Qiyun posted such a message while leading in the votes?

However, many fans who saw the live show understood deep down that Chen Qiyun was right!

Based solely on this round, Qin Yunxuan’s performance was indeed stronger than Chen Qiyun’s!

While feeling regretful, a sense of pride also rose in their hearts.

This was Chen Qiyun. This was the singer and idol they loved. This was the quality a true, dedicated musician should possess!

“Qiyun, what you’re doing… isn’t very appropriate, is it? Since when does one speak up for the opponent?”

In Chen Qiyun’s studio, Chen Chen pushed up her black-framed glasses and said helplessly, “Do you know how fast your popularity was rising through the Weibo votes just now?”

Chen Qiyun smiled: “Sister Chen Chen, I know you mean well, but I have my own principles. So… I don’t want to maintain my popularity and heat this way!”

Chen Chen sighed: “You, you… you’re so low-key, it’s unlike anyone in the entertainment industry!”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Chen Qiyun stuck out her tongue playfully: “Who says people in the entertainment industry have to be scheming and petty? If I were really like that, wouldn’t my grandfather break my legs?”

Chen Chen laughed. Although she regretted missing this opportunity, she knew this was the Chen Qiyun she recognized!

“So, what are you planning to do next?”
“Of course… write a great song!”

A gleam of excitement flashed in Chen Qiyun’s eyes.

“This Qin Yunxuan is truly formidable. I feel immense pressure from her. She will be my greatest opponent on my musical path! I can’t wait!”

Chen Qiyun said earnestly: “For the next round of ‘The Singer,’ I will definitely present a work better than before. This time, I must defeat Qin Yunxuan head-on!”

…

“This Chen Qiyun is quite interesting!”

When Qin Lang saw the Weibo post where Chen Qiyun spoke up for her, he was thoroughly amused.

He was encountering such an interesting opponent for the first time.

“I also didn’t expect Chen Qiyun to react this way!”

Sister Lin shook her head with a smile. “Because of her Weibo post, your vote count has now far surpassed hers. However… netizens’ evaluation of her is very high!”

Qin Lang nodded slightly: “Because Chen Qiyun is a truly dedicated musician. Actually… I quite like people like her too.”

“It seems the champion title for this third round is pretty much secured for you!” Sister Lin smiled. “Barring any surprises, if you maintain the champion title for three consecutive rounds, especially after defeating Chen Qiyun, it will greatly boost your popularity and reputation!”

“Based on my estimation, if you continue developing at this momentum, by the end of the first season of ‘The Singer,’ you might very well rise to become a second-tier singer!”

Qin Lang’s eyes widened: “Really?”
