Chapter 169 Ascending to Top-Tier Singer

"So cool!!!"

"Damn! You're so fucking handsome!"

"Holy crap, I'm stunned! Is this some kind of garbage?!"

"Top-notch vocals + top-notch looks + top-notch live performance! This season's 'Singer' isn't just about Chi Ye; I'm the first to vote for the entire show!"

"I'm getting goosebumps, bro!! Those traitors are talking!"

"Down with imperialism! We refuse to be slaves any longer!!"

"#FullPower##FullPower##FullPower#!!"

"Culture is a weapon, it's chilling. Ikeno, you're so outstanding that you're a stranger to me."

"..."

The barrage of comments in the live stream of the "Singer" program, which was initially full of question marks and exclamation marks, disappeared. The moment Chi Ye bowed to express his gratitude, the barrage was filled with all kinds of comments, whether they were confused, shocked or excited.

It was like a thunderclap.

The lyrics of the song "Full Power" explode the moment they are sung, coupled with Ike's singing skills and stage presence. The sheer terror of it is even more exaggerated than the director of "Singer" had imagined.

#Ikeno goes all out#
#Full Throttle#
#Down with Imperialism#
#Culture is a weapon, embedded in every nerve#
#Don't bow down to them#
In just five minutes, the lyrics of "Full Power" unexpectedly topped the trending search list as trending search terms.

Ten minutes later, #IkenoFullPower# directly surpassed 1000 million+ views, and other trending topics such as #DownWithImperialism# and #CultureIsAWeapon# followed suit, all of which successively surpassed 500 million+ views.

—In less than fifteen minutes, the entire song "Full Power" exploded, and Ikeno himself exploded!
The trending topics and hot words on various social media platforms have been flooded with posts.

"When I first saw the trending topic, I was stunned for two seconds. I thought there was a war going on."

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! You're my god!"

"The anger I felt from arguing with those traitors lately has been instantly released—it feels so good!"

"Yingzi is dying of laughter. Getting yelled at like that, it's so satisfying!"

"I didn't like Ikeno before, but this time, I'm really on the right track. Other idols in the Chinese entertainment industry should take note: this is a truly high-quality idol."

"This song is truly amazing. To sing it like this, Hu Ye is a modern-day Goujian (a legendary figure known for his ruthlessness and cunning). @Yuena."

"@Yuena@Yuena@Yuena, come out and get whipped! Hu Ye has released another hit song!"

"..."

Yuena is truly a piece of shit.

They never expected that at this moment, a large group of people would still tag them.

Upon hearing this news, Mr. Liu, who suffers from prostatitis, was so angry that his face trembled visibly.

These netizens are really mean!

You, Chi Ye, can sing all you want, and you can explode all you want, so why are you tagging me?!

Does it have anything to do with me?

——It’s true.

"What did you say? The trending topics I just bought have all been suppressed? So fast?!"

Mr. Liu received some disheartening news.

Originally, Yue Na had two top celebrities present today: one was an award-winning actor who officially announced his movie, and the other was creating a romantic pairing.

These two are extremely influential figures in the industry, and Yu Yan has to treat them with utmost respect.

But now, almost all the trending topics that the two bought are being suppressed by Chi Ye alone, and Yue Na, who spent a lot of money, has bought nothing.

"...Holy crap, is this son of a bitch doing this on purpose?!"

Mr. Liu was so angry his head was spinning. After a long pause, he suddenly realized, "He did it on purpose!"

"This guy just loves doing this kind of thing; he's doing it on purpose!"

secretary:"……"

"No, I don't understand, is this song really that popular?"

Mr. Liu began to doubt the true popularity of "Full Throttle".

Could it be that the traffic was bought by Ikeno Studio?
"Mr. Liu, this song...it...it's a little different." The secretary hesitated for a long time, her tone still tinged with bewilderment: "Other songs become popular, but not this quickly. This song...it not only became an instant hit, but...it became a hit specifically because of its lyrics..."

"To be honest, after being in this industry for so many years, this is the first time I've seen such an outrageous way of 'exploding'."

Mr. Liu was stunned: "By word explosion?"

"Yes, it's bursting out word by word, bursting out frame by frame."

The secretary nodded.

Mr. Liu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest—this was all "accepted" by them!
If Ikeno were still in Etsuna, if…

Damn it!! Goujian, you're not human!

……

The popularity of "Full Power" is just like its name: when it comes out, it's all out.

No one in the industry expected that such a song could become a phenomenal hit through the show "Singer".

Yes, it was phenomenal.

Since the end of the record era, the Chinese entertainment industry has never seen such a phenomenal wave ignited by a single song.

As for your question about what constitutes a phenomenon?
That very night, countless netizens, bloggers, and internet celebrities appeared on major national streaming platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, and Xiaohongshu, eagerly covering "Full Power" and dancing to the beat.

In just one night, the hashtag #FullPower# on Douyin skyrocketed from zero to 3 million views, and this staggering number is still increasing at an alarming rate.

Among them, Zhang the Chicken Claw, Jiang, and the Rise Sisters Group truly "contributed" a lot to this trend.

First up is Zhang the Chicken Claw.

Almost the instant Ikeno finished singing "Full Power," he had his team put aside their week-long rehearsals of the "Huo Yuanjia" dance routine and then resolutely joined the ranks of those covering "Full Power."

Of course, due to his singing skills, he certainly didn't sing as well as Ikeno.

But who says that singing a cover of "Full Power" requires vocal skills?
As long as you can dance!
Yes, Chicken Claw Zhang has returned to his old profession.

Because he discovered that the song "Full Power" had such a precise and ingenious rhythm and timing that it immediately awakened the "art" hidden in his bones the moment he heard it.

That night, he began leading a large group of muscular men in a self-created dance called "Full Power".

Just in time, it caught the wave of the "Full Power" craze, and became an overnight sensation, gaining countless followers.

Seeing this, other online influencer agencies and individual content creators immediately followed suit.

For a time, almost every time you opened Douyin (TikTok), you saw Ikeno's line, "Down with imperialism, we refuse to be slaves anymore."

The catchy intro almost instantly attracted more passersby, which then sparked a series of imitations.

If things have only reached this stage, they are still within a controllable range.

But when a few of the Rise sisters-in-law had a flash of inspiration and actually "created" a female version of the "Full Power" dance, things gradually spiraled out of control.

—Because many popular female influencers on Douyin have joined in, and people usually enjoy watching female influencers dance!

The difference between their dance and the male version is that the male version starts dancing at the beginning of "Full Power," with lyrics such as "Down with imperialism, we are no longer willing to be slaves."

But their dance moves come directly from the chorus, "Failure is not allowed, victory is not waiting, because Music Man is coming."

That's how viral phrases are created.

Ikeno's highly rhythmic, metallic high-pitched voice became a "nightmare" for "netizens" for the following week.

A week later, the hashtag #FullPower# on Douyin officially surpassed 20 billion views. If you include various other related hashtags, such as #SingerFullPower#, #ChiyeFullPower#, #RiseFullPower#, and even #FullPowerDJDancing#, the total number of views has exceeded 100 billion.

This data may not seem like much, but if you look at the total number of topics generated by the "Singer" program since the start of the competition, which is 90 billion, and Hua Yichen's solo singing topics, which have reached 2 million, you can see how terrifying this data is.

Without this background, it would be difficult to generate such data in just one week.

But at the same time, there are no ifs, so #FullPower# really became full power, and the first one to be "injured" was Hua Yichen.

...Back to that evening, the "Singer" program crew, after Chi Ye finished her performance, returned backstage.

All the guests around seemed to have just come back to life, and they all gave Chi Ye a thumbs up, but the complexity in their eyes was impossible to hide.

They were amazed by Ikeno's singing skills and shocked by the lyrics of the song, but at the same time, they were also uneasy and astonished by Ikeno's "bold" approach.

Teacher Na and Teacher Shi will soon go to the stage to sing.

But Yingzi's face looked terrible.

At this point, she no longer needed to hide it... because Chino had already pointed his finger at her and started cursing.

Ikeno noticed her gaze before she left and immediately began humming, "Don't kowtow to them, kowtow, kowtow!"

The teacher: Aaaaaah!! I'll fuck your mother!!
Everyone stared in astonishment: Holy crap, has he gone mad?

During this period, Ikeno was unusually "serious," and everyone almost forgot that he was "famous for his madness."

"..."

"Such an exciting event, it's not easy to handle."

After the teacher left, Second Hand Bro smacked his lips and dared to breathe again.

“Delivering babies can be difficult.” Upon hearing this, Chi Ye replied, “But newborns are easy.”

Everyone: "?!"

"Oh, tsk tsk."

When Sister Pliers saw the director of "Singer" looking in their direction with a complicated expression, she glanced at Chi Ye and said, "...You're going to get a lot of flak."

Chiye: "Huh?"

Sister Pliers, unusually serious: "This song."

Ikeno didn't say anything more.

Seeing his expression, Sister Pliers wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words.

The two have no relationship whatsoever, so why should she care whether Chi Ye lives or dies?
Should we let him keep talking about himself?

"Cough cough..."

Just then, Hua Yichen suddenly stood up with a pale face and gestured to the director, "I want to go to the restroom."

The director paused, glanced at the camera, and nodded: "Go ahead, I'll have the camera cut this part."

"it is good."

Hua Yichen walked towards the door with a gloomy face.

"..."

Everyone looked at him strangely, and Little Spit King asked curiously, "What... happened to him?"

"What can happen?"

Secondhand Bro sighed, "My colleague... Hua Hua's position is in jeopardy."

"Ok?"

Little Phlegm King was taken aback.

Is his position in jeopardy?

What position is insecure?
Soon, everyone learned about the explosive popularity of "Full Throttle" and the explosive topic of Ikeno's personal life.

After a couple of seconds of silence, everyone suddenly understood what Secondhand Bro meant by what he had just said.

……

Since the decline of the Chinese music scene, apart from a few individuals, very few singers from the younger generation have been able to step forward.

Hua Yichen is considered a "top influencer" among them.

This kind of top star isn't the "father" of the Chinese music scene, as we often joke about, but someone with the highest real popularity and traffic.

Because he is different from others, Hua Yichen likes marketing very much and the team he hires is very professional. In addition, in order to reach the top of the music scene, he has undergone various plastic surgeries and hair transplants since his debut, which is no longer a secret.

In this situation, Hua Yichen may not rank highly in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, but among the new generation of singers, she is indeed the one who best utilizes her popularity and can be considered a top-tier singer.

Previously, the release of Ikeno's "Reboot," as well as the appearance of works such as "A Bridge of Fate" and "Confession Balloon," had seriously threatened his position.

Fortunately, compared to Ikeno, he still had some "foundation" at that time. Since the last scandal broke, he has been out of the public eye, just like when his child was exposed. His status and popularity have not suffered a serious loss.

Until this time, when Ikeno stepped onto the singer stage and performed "Full Power," his status was instantly shaken.

Unlike the previous minor fluctuations, this time, Chi Ye's popularity on "Singer" has already surpassed his, and it may not be long before the gap is more than tenfold!

In addition, Chi Ye's looks and physique almost completely outshine him—to be honest, Hua Yichen is now too afraid to appear in the same frame as Chi Ye, which is why he has been so low-key in this season of "Singer".

It's not that I'm afraid of Ikeno, it's just that the contrast is too obvious.

Ikeno's looks were once enough to maintain her status, and few could rival her as a stunning beauty, often described by the public as "as long as her face is there, her career will continue."

—Not to mention that he is a talent show contestant who debuted with plastic surgery. The two of them are like other young male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry and Yu Yan's status, they are not even in the same league!

The people at "Yuenah Selected NO.1" – aside from Rose, the ugly daughter of a capitalist, all the other young actors and artists from Yuenah Group are incredibly beautiful and handsome, with outstanding looks and charisma.

What could he do? He was desperate!
The first thing that fans of celebrities value most is appearance, followed by talent. If you don't have talent and only rely on your looks, you can only reach the level of Ikeno in the past.

But if that face is matched with talent or even strength... especially a "highlight moment" like "Open Fire" that becomes an instant hit.

So... how many of his fans will be drained away? How much of his flesh will Ikeno devour?!

In the bathroom.

In a terrible mood, Hua Yichen took out her phone and dialed her agent's number.

"Hey? How's it going?"

The agent remained unusually silent on the other end of the phone.

Hua Yichen became anxious: "Is it really that exaggerated? He can suddenly rise to a higher status than me?"

The manager said, "...It really exploded in popularity, it's a huge hit, partly due to the overall environment... My biggest regret now is that I didn't have you sing a similar song."

Hua Yichen looked annoyed and pressed, "Do you expect him to surpass me after this?"

The agent paused for a moment and then said, "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, yes."

"what?"

Hua Yichen was stunned.

The manager sighed: "After this, Chi Ye will be a top-tier, A-list singer. Top-tier... Why use that word? Because he's absorbing your entire market share... Hua Hua, your strongest 'rival' has appeared..."

opponent?

Will they still be rivals?

Hua Yichen's face turned deathly pale, and she remained silent.

……

Home.

Today, holding the phone, she stood ramrod straight, nodding occasionally and softly saying "uh-huh."

Five minutes later, he hung up the phone. His mother, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously, "Was that the big boss on the phone?"

"Ah."

He was expressionless today.

Seeing his expression, Jin's mother was startled and quickly asked, "What did the big boss say?"

Looking at his wife today, he paused for a moment before a smile appeared on his lips, and he uttered eight words with a firm and resounding tone: "A heart of pure innocence, a stain on the white jade."

The mother was stunned.
