AFVSIBS Chapter 41 Shock: Making It to Hot Search without Debut


Zhao An's analysis made sense, but they overlooked the power of netizens.


As discussions about Zhou Chen grew, he gradually climbed to the tenth spot on the Weibo hot search list.


Although it was only the tenth spot, it was still a remarkable achievement.


Keep in mind that he was just an undebuted trainee.


Before this, no trainee had managed to reach the top ten of the hot search list before debut.


Even the current pop queen, Yang Hanhan, couldn't achieve that back in her days.


So, when news broke that Zhou Chen had made it to the tenth spot on the hot search list, his popularity skyrocketed like never before.


Yesterday, he had just over 300,000 followers on Weibo. Now, it had reached one million.


Among trainees of the same cohort, he was far ahead.


"Director Zhao, Zhou Chen is really amazing. He climbed to the tenth spot on the hot search list solely based on his charm, without needing the support of Wanhe. And his Weibo followers have reached one million."


Qin Haishan promptly reported this news to Zhao An.


"Yes, I just saw it. It's truly unexpected. He always wanted to play it cool and be carefree, but he ended up becoming the most popular trainee. Could it be that good fortune comes when least expected?" Zhao An couldn't help but sigh deeply at the outcome.


"He's just too amazing. Someone as talented as him is born for this industry. I also heard that he's not only popular online but also well-received in the nursing home. He's even become the darling of the nursing home."


"Why do you say that?"


"I just heard from the staff that several elderly people in the nursing home want to be his talent partners. In the end, they decided through rock-paper-scissors, and Mr. Chen won the chance to be Zhou Chen's talent partner." Qin Haishan explained.


"Is that so? That's really interesting. It seems that with Zhou Chen on our show, we don't have to worry about ratings anymore."


Zhao An couldn't help but feel relieved.


Indeed, before this public welfare variety show in the nursing home began, he had a lot of pressure. Because in this parallel world, when it came to variety shows, most were talent shows or music-related shows, or even romance shows. There were very few public welfare variety shows.


So, he was worried whether such a public welfare variety show would attract attention and achieve a 1.5% viewership rating.


But now, he could finally let go of all the pressure.


He was just waiting to see what surprises Zhou Chen would bring to the show tonight.


On the other hand, when Li Yuan suddenly saw Zhou Chen make it to the tenth spot on the hot search list, he felt envy, jealousy, and hatred.


But he was helpless.


Now he could only pin all his hopes on tonight's performance.


He had to prove that he was no less than Zhou Chen.


"Brother Yuan, do you want me to ask someone to help you boost your votes tonight? It'll be more secure that way."


Li Yuan's partner, Li Tong, quietly sent him a message to remind him.


"Yes, and make sure to boost as many votes as possible for me. Remember, they must give me a full score. Tonight, I must thoroughly defeat Zhou Chen and prove my abilities to the whole internet." Li Yuan expressed.


"No problem, we'll register all the employees of the Li family enterprise to vote for you online. You can rest assured." 


Li Yuan was very happy about this and felt that tonight's victory was within his grasp.


At eight o'clock in the evening, the stage was already set up on the playground of the nursing home.

The elderly residents of the nursing home had all taken their seats in the audience.


After Zhou Chen appeared, Uncle Chen, Grandma Wang, and Grandpa Liu immediately approached him.


In no time, Zhou Chen became the most popular trainee in the nursing home.


"Zhou Chen, how's your song preparation going? Everything alright?" Uncle Chen asked with concern.


"Thanks for your concern, Uncle Chen. Everything should be fine," Zhou Chen replied.


In reality, Zhou Chen had only practiced for an hour in the afternoon, but he didn't tell Uncle Chen about it. After all, he didn't want Uncle Chen to worry too much about him.


For him, practicing for an hour was sufficient. After all, "Childhood" was a hit song in this world, a phenomenon in itself.


"As long as everything's fine. Several elderly residents of our nursing home have registered online accounts. After your performance, we'll all give you full marks," Uncle Chen said with a smile.


"What? You've registered online accounts? But I thought you didn't know how to use the internet?" Zhou Chen was a bit surprised.


"If we don't know, we can learn, right? It's not that difficult. Anyway, don't worry. Tonight, most of the elderly residents in our nursing home support you," Uncle Chen said with a smile.


"Well, thank you so much," Zhou Chen said helplessly. He had originally intended to slack off, but Uncle Chen and the others were too enthusiastic.


It seemed that he couldn't slack off tonight. He could slack off on some things, but he couldn't do anything that would let down those who were kind to him.


"Don't mention it. Most of the residents in our nursing home came here to see your performance. You better do well later," Uncle Chen said.


"Yeah, I'll try my best," Zhou Chen nodded and then went backstage due to time constraints.


"Zhou Chen, you finally made it. I was worried you might be late tonight," Su Qingge walked over to him and said.


"Su Qingge, you worry too much. Zhou Chen is very popular now. How could he miss such an opportunity by being late? I think his previous behavior was all an act, just hype. Now, he's achieved his goal and become the most popular contestant on our show." Li Yuan, who was nearby, said with a disdainful expression.


"Li Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not interested in acting or hype. Do you think I'm like you?" Zhou Chen retorted directly.


"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart. But don't get too cocky. Tonight, I'll prove to the whole internet that I, Li Yuan, am not inferior to you. Hmph."


After saying that, Li Yuan arrogantly walked away.


"Zhou Chen, don't mind him. He's probably just jealous that you made it to the tenth spot on the hot search list today," Su Qingge comforted.


"Thank you, Qingge. Don't worry, I don't care about him. I just did what I wanted to do. As for what others think, it's up to them. You also need to do your best tonight. I have faith in you," Zhou Chen said.


"With you and Li Yuan in the lead, I can probably only aim for third place in popularity," Su Qingge quickly understood the situation. However, she didn't feel discouraged and had been working hard all afternoon.


As she put it, even if she never aimed to be the most popular, as long as she avoided being eliminated early, she would consider it a success.


Zhou Chen was about to continue talking to her when suddenly his phone rang. It was Yang Hanhan, the pop queen, calling.


Hadn't they just finished chatting this afternoon? Why was she calling again now?

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...
