154: It’s trending again!

After Chen Xiangbei signed the contract, he added Liu Cheng, the program director, as a contact and chatted with him in detail for over half an hour before concluding.

He gave Liu Cheng the names of two songs, one Chinese and one English, and asked him to secure the copyrights. He would decide which one to sing depending on the situation.

Chen Xiangbei decided to crush the foreigners with their own singing style, letting them know that it wasn't their advantage. At the same time, it was also a lesson for some Singers in China.

After both parties discussed this matter, the Singer program team immediately began promoting it overnight, with various promotional posters appearing online.

The official Weibo account and entertainment news outlets widely disseminated content related to Chen Xiangbei's participation in the recording of the latest episode.

Suddenly, when word got out that Chen Xiangbei was going to participate in the recording of the Singer program, the entire internet instantly plunged into an unprecedented earthquake!

The news, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, spread rapidly. Netizens were stunned and speechless by the news, unable to believe their eyes and ears.

Social media instantly exploded, and the comments section was abuzz.

Some netizens exclaimed, "Oh my god, Chen Xiangbei is going to participate in Singer? This is incredible!"

Others sighed, "I've always hoped he could be on this stage, and now he finally is!"

Still others expressed their shock, "His strength will definitely shine brightly in the program!"

Everyone's expectations for Chen Xiangbei instantly soared, and they speculated about which songs he would choose and what style he would perform them in. All sorts of discussions and guesses filled the internet, and the popularity continued to rise.

Chen Xiangbei's fans were even more excited, actively promoting him on social platforms and cheering him on.

This news showed them a broader development prospect for their idol and filled them with anticipation for the future.

The entire internet was immersed in shock and anticipation for Chen Xiangbei's participation in the Singer program, as if it were a grand carnival.

At this moment, Liu Cheng, the program director, saw the high level of discussion on the internet and the continuously increasing attention it brought to the program, and he was ecstatic!

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the public's attention to Singer far exceeded its past popularity, surging to the top of the trending topics list with an unstoppable momentum!

Chen Xiangbei was currently preparing a bombshell. He opened the short video recording function.

He spoke into the camera: "Hello, dear audience friends! Yes, it's me! I just finished communicating with the Singer program team and confirmed my participation in the recording of the new episode."

"I hope everyone can support me, and I hope to bring you surprises. Thank you for your love and support. Wishing you all sweet dreams, good night!"

After recording the video, he watched it again and thought to himself: "My clothes are neat, my hair isn't messy, my speech is smooth, my expression is precise, and my facial expressions are on point. Hmm, not bad!"

He clicked send, and a clock icon appeared in the upper left corner. When the minute hand completed its rotation, the video was successfully sent out.

This timing was very subtle, coinciding with the peak of online activity when everyone was discussing the accuracy of the news.

However, as more and more netizens saw Chen Xiangbei's video, their last shred of uncertainty vanished, and they all began to like and share it.

The click-through rate of this official announcement video was climbing at an extremely fast pace, and the short video's distribution mechanism was constantly being triggered.

Thus, more and more people saw this video, and more and more people shared it. In no time, it was known to everyone!

The most pressing question for everyone now shifted from whether Chen Xiangbei was really participating in Singer to what song he would perform.

Some speculated whether it would be "nameless person" or "Head In The Clouds," which he had sung before.

Because among the first three songs he released, "nameless person" had already been sung on Friday, so everyone thought he would choose from these two.

But their speculations were never confirmed; neither Chen Xiangbei himself nor the program team offered any explanations, in order to maintain the suspense.

And the happiest person about this matter was none other than Yehenala Ying; her agent had informed her of the news.

Upon hearing the news, she almost jumped for joy; no one knew how much pressure she was under!

She also knew Chen Xiangbei because she had watched reruns of his program. At the same time, she was captivated by his unique voice and superb singing ability.

In terms of vocal skill alone, she felt there was still a big gap between her and Chen Xiangbei. If he came to Singer, he would definitely succeed in topping the charts with a first-place finish!

Yehenala Ying was excited for a moment, then quickly posted a welcome message for Chen Xiangbei's participation in the program and @ him.

This action triggered a chain reaction, with various well-known Singers and actors posting messages wishing Chen Xiangbei success in topping the charts.

Among them was Zhang Chenchen, who directly messaged Chen Xiangbei.

She said, "I can't believe you're participating in Singer! I would have gone too if I'd known earlier. I received an invitation a while ago, but my agent rejected it due to schedule conflicts, boohoohoo~"

Chen Xiangbei replied, "It's okay, there are plenty of opportunities. Next time I participate in another program, I'll call you in advance, alright?"

Zhang Chenchen: "Okay! You said it, don't lie to me, I'm easily fooled!"

Chen Xiangbei: "Of course not, I keep my word!"

Zhang Chenchen: "Hehe~ Then I wish you happy singing! With your strength, I believe no one can outsing you!"

Chen Xiangbei: "I'll take your good wishes. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."

Zhang Chenchen: "I have tons of time, I'll come as soon as you invite me, hahaha!"

Chen Xiangbei: "Then I'll see you another day. It's late, get some sleep early, good night~"

Zhang Chenchen: "Okay, good night~"

Chen Xiangbei suddenly realized that Zhang Chenchen was actually quite cute, still like a little girl at heart. Although she was already a mother, it didn't hinder the charm she exuded.

Just then, the truly vexing little imp—Huang Xiaoqing—sent him a message.

Huang Xiaoqing: "Wow! Xiangbei Gege, you're participating in a program again! The internet is full of your news now, I found you out!"

Chen Xiangbei replied to her message helplessly.

But this time it took over an hour, because his group of friends all knew and sent congratulatory messages one after another.

Chen Xiangbei felt a warmth in his heart; after all, being cared for by good friends was a kind of happiness. He suddenly felt that he had been caring for his friends much less.

Almost everyone knew about his affairs and would help or send messages of concern, yet he hadn't even clearly understood what work everyone was currently doing.

He also didn't understand their preferences, except for a few boys whom he had lived with for several years, so he knew them much better.
