"The ratings are still being tallied and haven't come out yet."
Assistant Bi Xiaoyan answered respectfully immediately.
Since this competition was broadcast live on television, in addition to the usual popularity criteria, there was also a real-time viewership rating.
"Ten million people? My God..."
"Is everyone so free at night?"
Singer Yehena, who hasn't participated in live variety shows for a long time, exclaimed in amazement.
And her previous participation in variety show recordings.
Having three to five million people online simultaneously is already quite remarkable.
"According to the program team's prediction, the number of online viewers tonight is estimated to exceed 30 million."
"After all, you haven't sung in public for a long time, and many people came specifically for you."
"In terms of a cappella singing skills, there are probably few people in the Chinese music scene who can compare with you, teacher."
The female assistant chimed in, praising him.
"Sigh, I was forced into this situation too."
"How was I supposed to know that the production team invited so many people but no one came?"
"Besides, I'm getting old, and I really don't have the confidence to compete with these young people in high-pitched lung capacity..."
Ignoring his assistant's flattery, Yehena remarked with a sigh.
She was well aware of the singing abilities of those two overseas singers.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are much younger than you; they have just as much stage experience.
She won so many awards in various overseas singing competitions that she couldn't keep up with them.
Since no one dares to accept the invitation from the "I Am a Singer 2024" program team to register for the competition.
In order to safeguard the reputation of the Chinese music scene.
Yehena, who has always had a good relationship with Hunan TV, had to take the stage under immense pressure this time.
All this was so that the production team could gather enough singers to participate and avoid becoming a laughing stock.
As for what ranking they will achieve in the competition.
Even Yehena himself wasn't sure.
"By the way, where has Wang Yueheng been these past few days?"
For some reason, Yehena, who was sitting in the audience preparing for the competition, suddenly thought of this rising star in the Chinese music scene.
Strictly speaking...
Wang Yueheng is actually better suited to compete head-on with young overseas singers like Xiang Mo.
It's just a pity that this kid debuted a bit late.
I missed this competition and performance.
"Hmm... He was performing at the Deyun Club just a couple of days ago, and I heard that Amy went to see him too..."
"Then, after releasing a new book and a new short film, he suddenly disappeared."
"However, according to his Weibo location, he should still be in Kyoto right now."
"They might be watching our show recording right now."
Assistant Bi Xiaoyan replied after doing some research.
When this singer was mentioned, Bi Xiaoyan's eyes lit up immediately.
I wonder what it would be like if Wang Yueheng participated in this performance of "Singer 2024"?
"Sigh, let's just leave it to fate..."
"I hope I won't bring too much shame to the Chinese music scene..."
Time was ticking away, and it was almost time for the show to officially begin.
Hosts He Jiong and Hu Quan have already stepped onto the stage.
Yehena no longer had time to think about Wang Yueheng's matter.
He began to silently recite the song he was about to perform on stage.
...
"squeak--"
It's 8:10 PM.
Several cars drove in from a distance, their bright headlights piercing the night, and parked one after another in front of the Jiangxi Provincial Television Station.
Under the protection of more than ten police officers.
Chen Anren stepped out of one of the off-road SUVs.
At this moment, his arms and neck were still in casts and wrapped in white bandages, just like a patient recovering from a serious illness.
Following closely beside Chen Anren was Qi Tian, the director of the Jiangxi Provincial Public Security Department.
And the special police officers who escorted Chen Anren from Yunnan Province.
Chen Anren's undercover identity has now been exposed.
The fraud ring not only knew what he looked like, but he also infiltrated the organization through an acquaintance's introduction.
The fraudsters even knew Chen Anren's hometown address.
To prevent some vicious criminals from taking the opportunity to retaliate.
While rescuing Chen Anren, his family members and all his immediate relatives from his hometown were escorted by the police to Jiang City.
You can find it if you look closely.
The SUV behind Chen Anren was even a bulletproof vehicle, specially designed for special escort missions.
With the help of a batch of internal documents provided by Chen Anren.
Police quickly obtained crucial information about a major fraud gang headed by "Brother Shen" Shen Youhui on the border.
This includes informants planted within the police force, bribed government officials, and a large number of gangsters and henchmen...
Everything has been thoroughly investigated and verified.
An afternoon.
Yunnan police launched a series of powerful crackdowns, instantly dismantling the entire fraud ring.
Several ringleaders, including Shen Yonghui, were arrested and brought to justice.
Including his henchmen and underlings, there were nearly two hundred people in total.
They even unexpectedly apprehended several leaders of other organizations who had been hiding overseas and committing fraud.
Through freezing assets and on-site seizures, nearly 10 billion yuan in property losses were recovered for the defrauded public.
And Chen Anren's significant contribution was earned through risking his life.
It can be described as a living first-class merit.
This is enough to make his future career soar.
One day, he might even rise to become a provincial department head, just like Qi Tian.
It was after Chen Anren woke up in the hospital.
Only then did everyone understand why he kept repeating the name "Wang Yueheng".
Because Chen Anren said he had a dream.
In his dream, an assassin pointed a gun at his head, about to pull the trigger.
However, Wang Yueheng suddenly appeared and rescued him from the assassins, thus saving his life.
Perhaps she was grateful to Wang Yueheng for saving her in her dream.
That's why he kept repeating the name "Wang Yueheng" while he was unconscious.
Hearing Chen Anren's absurd and bizarre explanation...
As Qi Tian and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they exchanged bitter smiles.
Little did they know.
It was all because of this undercover agent's inexplicable sleep-talking shouts.
An entire special police brigade and half of the armed police brigade surrounded the Jiangxi Provincial TV station where Wang Yueheng was located.
This was to guard against the possibility that Wang Yueheng was the mastermind behind a fraud ring.
Unexpected.
Wang Yueheng appeared as a savior angel during Chen Anren's unconscious dream.
This blunder has really gone too far.
Fortunately, Qi Tian had requested that confidentiality measures be taken in advance, so it did not affect Wang Yueheng's participation in the program.
Instead, they unexpectedly apprehended dozens of thieves, improving the security environment of Jiang City.
When senior police leaders inquired about what Chen Anren most wanted to do,
Unexpectedly.
Chen Anren actually demanded to find Wang Yueheng immediately so he could attend his live performance.
His attitude was absolutely resolute.
Watching Wang Yueheng perform is like resolving a long-held, deep-seated wish.
And for this reason.
For the first time as the director of the department, Qi Tian hoped that Jiangxi TV could postpone the recording of "Masked Singer".
This will give Chen Anren time to come back and see Wang Yueheng's performance.
To fulfill the undercover police officer's greatest wish.
