But many fans of the show remained skeptical.
After all, Qianxun’s experience was too shallow!
However, no matter how fiercely the netizens questioned her, they had to admit that Qianxun naturally carried a star aura.
Today, Qianxun didn’t stand out with her style, appearing in a simple white blouse and black pants, but as soon as she took the stage, the audience found their eyes involuntarily drawn to her.
The other twelve contestants seemed like mere backdrops.
The director furrowed his brows slightly upon seeing this, because Qianxun’s screen presence was too strong and directly made the other contestants on stage feel nonexistent.
But this was a talent competition.
However, his brows soon relaxed.
Inviting Su Qianxun had been a gamble, and if her performance were too mediocre, it would have been quite unbecoming.
Now, her excellent presentation before countless viewers only further proved that his choice and judgment were correct.
Su Qianxun may have been inexperienced, but her aura and control over the live audience was something many stars could not achieve.
After Qianxun took the stage, the host also uttered a surprised cry and naturally introduced Qianxun again before moving onto the main topic.
"I’ve listened to Qianxun’s new album and I must say, it’s quite stunning. I wonder, as a mystery guest this time, do you have a favorite contestant?" the host asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qianxun picked up the microphone, glanced over the twelve contestants, and smiled slightly, "All the contestants performed very well today. I’ve been watching their performances backstage, but the contestant I liked, unfortunately, didn’t advance."
With that statement, the host showed a slight expression of surprise, then said, "I see, but no worries. As the mystery guest of this episode, you have the power to directly advance a contestant. Now, would you like to use your power for this contestant?"
Upon hearing this, everyone eagerly fixed their gaze on Qianxun’s face, trying to discern something from her expression.
The contestants from the elimination group held their breath at this moment.
If they were chosen by Su Qianxun, they could be instantly revived!
Though it was merely advancing to the next round, it was still an extra opportunity, wasn’t it?
At that moment, Qianxun smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will use my power to advance."
Hearing this, the host immediately looked towards the eliminated contestants and then said to Qianxun, "I believe everyone is as curious as I am to know who Qianxun will choose to advance. Now, Qianxun, you may announce the name of the contestant."
Upon this cue, everyone’s eyes turned to Qianxun, guessing who she would revive.
Qianxun turned her head toward the elimination area and then smiled, "The person I choose is someone you might not expect. I pick contestant number nine—Xu Wei!"
After Qianxun’s words, the audience that liked Xu Wei’s singing immediately erupted into cheers, while others who disliked Xu Wei’s style scoffed.
"Su Qianxun really knows how to make erratic choices! How can someone as androgynous as Xu Wei ever become popular?"
"Got carried away! Su Qianxun just got famous with one new album, and now she dares to dictate things on super star! Ridiculous! This ruins the show’s reputation!"
Meanwhile, Xu Wei’s fans were ecstatic, "Finally, someone else appreciates Weiwei’s uniqueness like I do! Her voice is truly one of a kind, and listening to her sing feels healing. She’s just disadvantaged by her appearance!"
