"Director, may I ask how long the wait will be?"
Thinking about the show, Ni Yongying asked nervously.
"The other party is on a plane and will arrive here in about an hour."
Station Director Yu Shili sat in his office, watching the surveillance footage of Ni Yongying and Wang Yueheng talking face to face, and answered.
Although I know that postponing the show will have a significant impact.
But when he thought about how the police had just told him that Wang Yueheng was not suspected of any crime, station director Yu Shili breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the singer is innocent.
Otherwise, this episode would be completely wasted.
Compared to Wang Yueheng being arrested for breaking the law.
Even if it takes two or three hours to wait for someone, Station Director Yu Shili has no complaints.
He himself was also very curious.
Who is this person whom the police value so highly, and who even rushed to catch a flight just to see Wang Yueheng's performance?
"Just what I feared most has come to pass..."
"I was just feeling relieved that I didn't have to record 'Singer 2024'."
"This is bad luck, it's really a head-on clash..."
After hanging up the phone, producer Ni Yongying frowned and said with a speechless expression.
"Could it be that some VIP guest has suddenly joined the competition?"
Wang Yueheng turned his head and asked in confusion.
"No, if that were the case, the station director should have informed me immediately..."
"Unless the person who came this time has a special identity like the patriotic overseas Chinese Wang Zhan."
Ni Yongying shook her head and sighed helplessly.
Since that's the case.
They had no choice but to go all out and directly compete with Hunan TV.
"I even have the urge to spread the word and tell everyone that you are the real Bei Xuan."
"In that case, we might still be able to salvage our viewership."
Ni Yongying joked, trying to find humor in the situation.
Unless he reveals himself, Wang Yueheng is currently the mysterious singer "Bei Xuan".
In that case...
Perhaps the live stream's popularity can even match that of Hunan TV.
Otherwise, tonight's live stream viewership will likely hit a new low.
Without a doubt.
Tonight, almost the entire internet audience is focused on the latest season of "I Am a Singer 2024" on Hunan TV.
Looking forward to the return of this long-awaited music variety show.
At that time, Hunan TV will inevitably attract a large influx of viewers nationwide.
It's not just "Masked Singer," which will be broadcast online, that's affected.
Several other provincial satellite TV channels will also be broadcasting variety shows tonight.
"Sister Ni, as far as I know, Hunan TV will be broadcasting this live, right?"
"We're just doing a live stream on the website; it will need to be edited before it's officially broadcast on TV."
"In comparison, the leaders of Hunan TV should be more nervous."
"The pressure of live TV broadcasts is much greater than that of online broadcasts."
Seeing Ni Yongying's worried expression about the live stream's popularity, Wang Yueheng sat down and comforted her.
“You’re right. This is a good opportunity for us to learn from each other’s experience and gain some insights.”
"And tonight is the battle to reveal the truth."
"If you win, your identity will be revealed in public, and you might even be able to challenge Hunan TV's popularity."
"For us, winning or losing is worthwhile."
Thinking that Wang Yueheng would reveal the true identity of "Bei Xuan" tonight, Ni Yongying nodded and was no longer so nervous.
It's normal for it to lose popularity to Hunan TV; no one will criticize it.
Everyone thought it was normal.
But if they manage to turn things around, the results will be truly remarkable.
We eagerly await the broadcast of the officially edited "Masked Singer," and we're sure it will achieve record-breaking ratings!
After chatting with Wang Yueheng for a while.
Ni Yongying looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the lounge.
The pointer has now reached 7:40.
Wait until 8:30.
That will be the official start time for the live broadcast of "I Am a Singer 2024" on Hunan Satellite TV.
If that mysterious "spectator" arrives by then.
The mysterious singer "Bei Xuan" participated in the masked singer competition on Jiangxi TV's "Masked Singer".
He will compete in Hunan TV's "I Am a Singer 2024" alongside Xiang Mo, Ai Mu, and Yehena.
Let's have a head-to-head popularity showdown!
...
Time passed by, second by second, in this tense wait.
at the same time.
On the other side, Hunan TV.
Host He Jiong, and guest host Hu Quan, who is also a singer, are waiting on one side of the studio.
Twenty more minutes.
The two will take the stage together to host the opening ceremony of the quadrennial "I Am a Singer" competition.
A brand new competition format.
A highly innovative and challenging broadcasting format.
And a battle of top singers from home and abroad...
It not only excited and thrilled the audience who were watching the game.
Even He Jiong, the host who is nearly fifty years old, felt a long-lost excitement.
He hasn't hosted such a professional singing competition in a long time.
Previously, most of them participated in talent selection competitions for emerging idols.
There are too many pretentious young idol singers.
He Jiong, who has a good temper, almost suffered a heart attack from anger.
This time I finally had the opportunity to interact with truly talented singers.
Let the world witness once again the influence of Hunan TV in the Chinese music scene, and even in the world music scene!
"Teacher He, I'm still a little nervous..."
"As soon as I stood here, I was reminded of the mistakes I made when I was hosting the show four years ago."
"If I accidentally say something wrong later, you have to help me cover it up..."
Hu Quan, a singer-songwriter who was making a guest appearance as a host, stood next to Teacher He and nervously looked at the script while speaking.
"The audience knows you're not a professional host, so they'll be more forgiving."
"The previous mistakes are nothing."
"Besides, your strengths outweigh your weaknesses, otherwise the production team wouldn't have invited you to be a guest host again this time."
Upon hearing the singer's worried words, He Jiong, who is always good at comforting people, smiled and said...
"Moreover, if we're talking about who's nervous, I think Teacher Yehena is more nervous than you."
"As the oldest and most experienced singer present."
"If we can't withstand the challenges from foreign singers and end up at the bottom, we'll lose face internationally..."
As he spoke.
Host He Jiong then turned his attention to the singers' preparation area on the other side of the stage.
At this moment, Yehena, a veteran female singer who had just finished her makeup, also looked nervously towards the stage.
The competition will officially begin later.
She will be the first singer to take the stage and perform.
The other two overseas contestants, Xiang Mo and Ai Mu, were in their respective dressing rooms at the time.
The two foreign singers, who are used to all kinds of big events, looked very relaxed at this moment.
He even sat in the lounge and started singing.
The loud, clear voice pierced through the roof of the lounge.
The sound was clearly transmitted to the ears of singer Yehena and others who were waiting in the audience.
The already serious-looking female singer Yehena couldn't help but grin wryly in front of the camera, marveling at the other person's lung capacity.
"Xiaoyan, how many people are watching the live broadcast now?"
While nervously watching the commotion on stage, Yehena, a female singer in her forties, asked her assistant Bi Xiaoyan.
"The number of viewers in the online live streaming room has exceeded ten million."
