Xu Yanshen's live stream was now in its usual banter mode.

His haters started playing a countdown game.

Xu Yanshen was happy to cooperate with them. In addition to cooperating with them, he also started practicing singing, hired professional teachers for training, and was preparing intensively for the next stage of the competition.

The second preliminary round of "The Voice of Ethereal Souls" was soon underway. Xu Yanshen was mainly sitting in the qualifying seat as a contestant who had already advanced. Because of his outstanding performance in the first round and his naturally outstanding appearance, the camera still frequently focused on Xu Yanshen, even though he was not a contestant in the second round.

The day after the first stage of the second match ended.

The show "The Voice of the Ethereal" had a premonition and aired on Saturday.

Although "The Voice of Ethereal" was very well received by the audience at the time, it was still met with a lot of boos online. Even if viewers had posted that "The Voice of Ethereal" was particularly good, they were still considered to be paid trolls by the program team.

The production team initially boasted that the show would be a hit, but after the audience's praise was just like pebbles thrown into the ocean without making a splash, the production team began to have some doubts.

Although they want to create a well-received variety show, the reason they make such shows is that they hope it will become popular and successful.

The advertisements for "The Voice of Ethereal Souls" are becoming increasingly aggressive.

The show's prominent figures, including Ye Yingying, Wen Zhaolin, Chu Ci, and even Xu Yanshen, have all posted advertisements.

On Saturday morning, the production team deliberately edited some footage of Ye Yingying's opening show and posted it online as if it were secretly filmed by the audience. When the show was about to air, they started buying trending searches by using Xu Yanshen's good looks as a gimmick.

After such vigorous promotion, the premiere of "The Voice of Ethereal Souls" finally arrived.

The initial ratings were quite good, and Ye Yingying's opening show did indeed attract a group of fans. At this point, the production team was worried that drama fans and Ye Yingying's looks fans might only watch when Ye Yingying appeared on screen. Later, they found that the ratings were very stable. Although they did not reach the initial ideal expectations, they exceeded the minimum psychological threshold of anxiety before the broadcast.

The subsequent contestants all sang very well, and their commentary was also very interesting.

Wen Zhaolin's fame and professional singer Chu Ci's gentle comments have led to him being jokingly referred to online as a "pampering judge." Wen Zhaolin, in particular, is known for his chilling acting skills when portraying murderers, but he is surprisingly gentle in person. He can even find fault with some of the less-than-perfect performances.

Producer Du Jianhong's scathing critiques also went viral. Because he rarely appears on screen, many viewers only recognize popular celebrities and are unfamiliar with the entertainment industry's mechanisms. After Du Jianhong's extremely harsh comments, including Ye Yingying's opening dance and several new generation singers whom the audience felt were comparable to professional singers, netizens assumed that Du Jianhong was a has-been singer who switched to producing to attract attention, and even went so far as to post dissing him on social media.

After Du Jianhong's background as a former producer known for his work with top stars was revealed, this classic face-slapping reversal immediately went viral and became a trending topic.

Meanwhile, #WenZhaolin's strong contrast#, #WenZhaolin teases Ye Yingying's opening show#, #Ye Yingying's "Ethereal Voice" opening show# also became trending topics, and #Ethereal Voice contestant Zeng Hai sings "Time Has Passed"# also became a trending topic.

Besides the program team's promotion and buying trending topics, many highlights of the show were also spontaneously pushed to the top of the trending topics, and the ratings continued to rise. When the trending topic #Internet celebrity anchor Xu Yanshen's first participation in a variety show# appeared online, the ratings reached their peak.

"The Voice of the Ethereal" became a hit thanks to the production team's cautious promotion and prayers.

The show made producer Du Jianhong, singer Zeng Hai, and others famous, and also made Chu Ci known to the public. Among them, Xu Yanshen benefited the most.

Xu Yanshen became the biggest beneficiary of "The Voice of Ethereal Souls".
