Qin Jiran was an actor with superb acting skills, but he couldn't really be described as versatile; he had never publicly performed any kind of act, which made the audience anticipate his performance even more—especially the members of his huge domestic fan base, who were all cheering him on in various ways.
Participating as a judge in the competition was one of the highlights of the event, and also a personal breakthrough for Qin Jiran. He prepared very seriously for it, obtaining a new song from Su Yanyi that became his performance piece, while Tang Ya was doing a mix of singing and dancing. She had a bigger part, after all, Tang Ya was the real contestant.
