The reason I asked Mo Zixue to remind Old Master Mo to look at the news about himself was...

It wasn't that Wang Yueheng deliberately wanted to show off in front of this elder.

Instead, they hoped that the other person would also gain some "faith points" through their singing.

It might even help cure some of your ailments.

"He'll go watch it without me even having to tell him, especially since there might be big news tonight about an intercontinental ballistic missile test launch."

The thought of Wang Yueheng appearing on the nationally watched CCTV news program filled Mo Zixue with excitement once again.

This level of exposure is almost on par with the influence of the Spring Festival Gala...

...

7 PM.

The "Lianbo News" program, broadcast simultaneously on CCTV and major provincial satellite TV channels, aired on time.

Kyoto Central Broadcasting Office Building, Studio 1 of the News Center of the Central Broadcasting Station.

Two news anchors, one male and one female, sat upright in front of the camera.

The teleprompter behind the camera already displayed today's lunar and solar dates.

"Ta-da!"

As the countdown ended with the final ten seconds of seven o'clock.

The familiar background music from the news broadcast instantly filled every household watching television.

"Good evening, everyone. Today is Saturday, September 14th, according to the lunar calendar..."

After the opening music ended, Zheng Gang, a male announcer dressed in a sharp suit, began his report with a smile and clear, articulate voice.

"Today's program will mainly cover..."

After the male announcer finished his opening remarks, the female announcer, Li Meng, followed up with her own words.

"...Syrian President Barr and his family arrived at Beijing International Airport at 10:00 AM today on a special plane belonging to China Airlines, officially beginning their seven-day visit to China..."

"Accompanied by relevant personnel, President Barr and his entourage visited the National Palace Museum and then went to Mizuki University in Kyoto to have a cordial exchange with students from Chinese universities..."

"During the visit, President Barr and his entourage also watched with great interest the 2024 Kyoto TV Autumn Campus Singer Contest being held at the North Gymnasium of Mizuki University..."

"Wang Yueheng, a young and promising singer from China, is a freshman in the Department of Literature at Tsinghua University, Class of 2024. He will perform as a special guest..."

"Next, please see the detailed report sent back by our reporter..."

After broadcasting a series of important domestic events, announcer Li Meng then mentioned the news of President Barr's visit to Tsinghua University.

The television screen then switched from the broadcasting studio to an off-site recording.

This is the scene of President Barr and his entourage arriving at the gate of Tsinghua University and receiving a warm welcome.

...

"Here he comes! It's almost time for Yue Heng to make his appearance!"

"Is this the Syrian president? I've heard his name on the news all the time. He's so tall, at least 1.9 meters!"

"I never expected the president's wife to be so beautiful, she looks like a model..."

"I heard that the First Lady even specifically requested a song from Wang Yueheng at the event!"...

At the same time.

Jiangshi, Wang Yueheng's hometown, Weihe County.

At this time, the rural home where Wang Dongming's father lived was crowded with neighbors and relatives from all sides who came to watch the news.

The courtyard was packed with men, women, and children, all staring at the large television set up at the entrance of the hall, chattering excitedly.

A red banner was specially hung at the entrance of Wang Dongming's house by the village chief.

The sign read, "Celebrating the appearance of Wang Yueheng, a well-known singer from our village, on the CCTV News program."

Village chief Wang Youlu had this banner hastily made after Wang Dongming received a call from his son.

For rural people.

Most of them don't know anything about variety shows like "The Good Singer" or "Masked Singer".

However, for those who have watched "Lianbo News" on CCTV-1, which is broadcast nationwide for decades, it is a household name.

Being selected for an interview and broadcast on CCTV's news program is considered even more prestigious than getting into a top university.

In the minds of these people.

Only those recognized by the state have the opportunity to appear in public.

They never expected this.
