Its viewership and buzz were in no way inferior to, and in some instances even surpassed, that of "Back to Field"!

Each season's broadcast sparks nationwide viewing and heated discussions, inspiring countless young people to join the army and serve their country after watching the show, resulting in an extremely positive and far-reaching social impact!

Being invited by the "Real Men" program team is itself a great affirmation of a celebrity's popularity, image, and physical fitness!

Zhou Weiming looked at Wang Yueheng and explained in detail, "The recording of the second season is about to begin. We feel that with your current status, plus the huge popularity brought by the song 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant,' participating in this program is a perfect match!"

"This will not only make up for your regret of missing 'Back to Field', but also allow you to fully showcase the outstanding qualities and good image of our naval soldiers through this top-notch platform, promote your military works such as 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant', and popularize national defense education. It can be said to be a win-win situation!"

Zhou Weiming's eyes were piercing: "So, Yue Heng? Do you have the confidence to go to 'Real Men' and be a 'man' again, to earn even greater honor for our navy and for yourself?"

The private room fell silent, and everyone looked at Wang Yueheng.

Wang Yueheng's heart began to beat strongly again because of the words "a real man".

Military camp experience? Training alongside officers and soldiers?

For him, this was no longer an experience, but a return! It was about experiencing and learning the style of the front-line troops as an arts and cultural soldier!

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge, but it is also an excellent opportunity!

He took a deep breath and looked firmly at Vice Minister Zhou Weiming:

"Reporting to the commander! I am confident! I am willing to accept this mission! I guarantee I will complete it!"

"good!"

Zhou Weiming laughed heartily and slammed his hand on the table. "Then it's settled! Commander Li, you'll coordinate with the production team to ensure Yue Heng can participate in the recording!"

Vice Minister Zhou Weiming offered a few more words of encouragement before leaving the "Naval Political Department's Small Kitchen" due to other official duties.

Although he only stayed for a short time, his personal presence and clear expression of appreciation for Wang Yueheng undoubtedly added significant weight to Wang Yueheng's position within the cultural troupe.

With the leader gone, the atmosphere in the private room became even more relaxed.

Without the initial awkwardness and formality, the members of the performing arts troupe's communication with Wang Yueheng became more natural and in-depth.

Everyone chatted about the interesting things that happened during today's performance, shared their experiences of visiting troops, and even started discussing their upcoming creative and rehearsal plans.

Wang Yueheng also offered his own understanding of music and performance, which won the approval of many professionals.

A harmonious atmosphere of "one of us" quietly formed amidst the clinking of glasses with tea instead of wine and the laughter.

Wang Yueheng could clearly feel that he was no longer the "outsider" who needed to be examined and accepted, but had truly become an indispensable part of this group.

The celebration banquet lasted until after 9 p.m.

The group said their goodbyes and left in twos and threes.

"Yue Heng, stay here for a moment."

Regiment Commander Li Zhenbang patted Wang Yueheng on the shoulder, signaling him to wait a moment.

After everyone else had left, Li Zhenbang led Wang Yueheng back to a relatively quiet corner of the private room, took out his phone, and said with a smile:

“The matter that Minister Zhou instructed should be addressed sooner rather than later. I will call Lu Mingtao, the chief producer of the ‘Real Men’ program and also my old classmate, now to finalize this matter and give you peace of mind.”
