"How's it going? Has your popularity returned?"

"Have the number of online viewers and ratings reached new highs?"

The backstage area of ​​Hunan TV's studio.

Song Wanlong, dressed in all black, had just finished his performance and excitedly asked his manager after stepping off the stage.

He spent a full week creating the new song "The World You Existed In," which he performed on stage today.

He even made special trips to many film and television bases to gather inspiration.

It's intended to be the title track of the seventh album.

Therefore, great importance is attached to promoting this song.

The stage of "I Am a Singer 2024" is also very suitable for the premiere of this title track.

However.

Song Wanlong was met with an awkward silence from his agent and the staff around him.

"What's wrong? Is the audience's feedback on the new song not good?"

Looking at the bewildered backstage staff, Song Wanlong's excited expression gradually faded, replaced by a sense of foreboding.

"Xiaolong, don't take it too seriously."

"Your performance tonight was excellent, but Bei Xuan from Jiang Province TV just went on stage at the same time as you..."

"The viewership of Hunan TV's live broadcast has always been suppressed by that other channel."

"Moreover, Bei Xuan has just revealed his identity; he is actually Wang Yueheng..."

Song Wanlong's agent, Tong Xuan, walked over and said everything in one breath.

"ah?"

"But, but..."

Song Wanlong stared wide-eyed and stammered "but" for a long time, but couldn't get the words out.

"I know what you mean."

"There were also some unexpected events on the stage over there, which is why Bei Xuan, also known as Wang Yueheng, had to take the stage a second time."

"Moreover, the songs they presented were indeed...exceptionally excellent..."

"You'll understand when you listen to it later."

Although I don't want to gloat over others in front of my own artists.

But then I thought about how I felt when I listened to Wang Yueheng's new song "The Wind Rises" in private earlier.

Even Song Wanlong's agent, Tong Xuan, had to admit it.

In comparison, Song Wanlong's song "The World You Existed In" is probably only comparable to that song in terms of its title.

"Okay, I lost..."

"If that person is indeed Wang Yueheng, then it's not a complete loss..."

Left with no other choice, Song Wanlong could only say with a wry smile.

The original idea of ​​using the "Singer" stage to promote the new song was immediately dashed.

All he wants now is to finish the competition as soon as possible and go back so he can listen to Wang Yueheng's two songs from tonight over and over again.

Find the gap between the two sides, and then strive to surpass it.

final.

Song Wanlong secured fourth place tonight with this new song, ranking after Yehena.

"Fortunately, tonight is the final of 'Masked Singer'."

"As long as I can make it into the top six, I won't be eliminated."

"I will give my all to present new songs for the next episode of 'Singer,' so I can't let my popularity and attention be stolen again!"

After finally accepting the reality of being utterly crushed by Bei Xuan from afar.

After calming down, Song Wanlong comforted himself.

The currently popular music variety show "Masked Singer" has come to an end.

I definitely won't be able to meet "Bei Xuan" Wang Yueheng again in the next episode of "Singer 2024".

I'll definitely show my talent and promote the new album a lot!

"Teacher He, I heard that Wang Yueheng is going to participate in your new variety show 'Dream Life' soon?"

Just as another band was taking the stage tonight.

Yan Jiping, the director of "Singer", suddenly found He Jiong, the host, who was resting backstage.

"That's right, what's wrong, Director Yan?"

Teacher He, holding the script, smiled and looked at the director, asking a question.

"You've heard that Bei Xuan is singer Wang Yueheng, right?"

"Tonight, discussions about him have almost taken up half of the entertainment news, even surpassing the popularity of our 'Singer' show."

Director Yan Jiping asked the question directly.

"I just found out myself, and I was quite surprised."

"I never imagined that Wang Yueheng's singing skills would reach such a superb level."

"He is simply a once-in-a-century genius in the Chinese music scene."

Thinking of the live performance of Wang Yueheng that he had secretly watched during his spare time, He Jiong nodded with an admiring expression.

"There were so many singers just now, and I was surprised to see that the champion and runner-up spots tonight were won by two overseas singers."

"They all expressed their desire to participate in the next episode's challenge and win back face for the Chinese music scene."

"Of course, this is inseparable from the appeal and popularity of this episode."

"I was thinking, since we're going to challenge them anyway, why not invite 'Bei Xuan' over privately?"

Yan Jiping asked He Jiong in a mysterious low voice.

"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

"However, whether it will work depends on Wang Yueheng's schedule."

"He'll definitely be very busy lately."

"How about this, after we finish recording this episode, I'll call him myself when we get back and see what he thinks."

He Jiong thought for a moment, looked around, and responded in a low voice.

She was afraid that her discussion with director Yan Jiping about inviting Wang Yueheng would be leaked.

...

"Ding ding ding"

"Comrade Yue Heng, I'm sorry, but the Jiang City police have a favor to ask of you."

Wang Yueheng, who was sitting in the lounge thinking about his next trip, was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Geng Weifeng, who then entered the house, told Wang Yueheng that Su Xiaobai wanted to meet with him alone.

"Okay, I'm fine with it."

"I was just about to say thank you to him too."

Wang Yueheng nodded in agreement.

Last time, Su Xiaobai helped beat up the paparazzi who were following him.

He was told that the other party was planning to dig up dirt on him, and Wang Yueheng hadn't even had a chance to thank them.

I just didn't expect it.

The owner of Donghuang Entertainment in Chuncheng actually turned himself in to the police so quickly.

Then, with a blank expression, Su Xiaobai was escorted into the room by several special police officers.

All the surrounding cameras were turned off when the other party arrived.

Wang Yueheng's live stream footage immediately disappeared from the Jiangxi TV live stream room.

This immediately sparked curiosity and speculation among netizens in the live stream.

"Yue Heng, Bei Xuan, hehe..."

"Last time I came here, I was ready to beat you up. How dare you steal the artist I had my eye on."

"But it doesn't matter in the future. Her future is bright if she develops with you."

With his hands cuffed behind his back, Su Xiaobai looked at the artist in front of him, whom he had always wanted to meet but had never been able to, and chuckled twice.

The violent and sinister look that had been on his face was now completely gone.

Instead, he resembles a sunny and cheerful young man.

"Thanks for what you did last time."

Wang Yueheng looked at the gang leader in front of him who suddenly wanted to turn over a new leaf and deliberately spoke in a cryptic manner.

He knew.

If the story of Su Xiaobai beating up the paparazzi were to be revealed, it might just add another charge to his list.

Besides, Zhou Wei, the paparazzi captain who got beaten up, deserved it.

Wang Yueheng would never sympathize with someone who takes pleasure in stealing other people's privacy.

"Don't mention it. I was planning to treat you to a meal when I came to Jiang City, but it seems I won't have the chance."

Despite being handcuffed, Su Xiaobai spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"It's okay, I'll treat you when you get out of prison."

Wang Yueheng looked at the other person and smiled as he spoke.

"Um?"

Su Xiaobai was taken aback, clearly not expecting the singer to give such a reply.

If it were any other celebrity, they would probably avoid such a criminal as themselves like the plague.

Even when she had just expressed her desire to see Wang Yueheng.

Su Xiaobai was already prepared to be ruthlessly rejected.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

“Behave yourself in there and make amends. I believe the police and judge will give you a chance.”

"When you come out, I'll treat you to a meal in my hometown and let you taste the local specialty, Qiujiang fish."

Wang Yueheng looked directly at this gangster fan and said earnestly.

With his hands cuffed behind his back, Su Xiaobai smiled and nodded: "Understood! It's a deal!"

"Alright, it's about time, let's go!"

Geng Weifeng glanced at the time, gave Wang Yueheng a grateful look, and then reminded the special police officer beside him.

The two special police officers were about to escort Su Xiaobai away.

"By the way, Wang Yueheng."

Suddenly, Su Xiaobai, who had reached the door, stopped again.
