Chapter 200: Chapter 200: We Can Never Go Back Again

Wu Mu didn’t care at all about their suspicions and just laughed, "The song I just sang is called ’Your Love at 105°C,’ it really is about... I can’t directly name it because it’s not a sponsor of the current program, but you guys can look it up yourselves."

"Yeah, if that brand sees this, remember to contact me to settle the advertising fees," he joked.

But although his comment was a joke, for Qingquan Distilled Water, as long as the boss isn’t an idiot, they’d definitely contact him to purchase the song.

If they didn’t seize such an unexpected influx of traffic, they might as well not run a business.

Director Yang Chen was quite envious, "Teacher Wu Mu, our program also has quite a few sponsoring brands, why didn’t you use one of our program’s brands to improvise a song?"

Wu Mu spread his hands, "Wouldn’t that be even more suspect for scripting?"

Fine then.

Director Yang Chen felt regretful in his heart as he checked the live broadcast room’s situation. The number of comments on the bullet screen had obviously decreased by a lot.

That was to be expected; the crowd that had come before was mostly various groups coming over to bash Wu. Now, after what just happened, regardless of whether they believed whether this incident was scripted or not, the previous allegations that Wu was afraid to improvise and was marketing purchased songs were somewhat untenable.

At the very least, if they still wanted to doubt, they would first need to find evidence that it was scripted.

Obviously, this wasn’t something that could be resolved in a short time. This operation was undoubtedly declared a failure, and it was normal for the bashers to lose interest and leave.

The director guessed that the number of live viewers would drop by at least seven to eight hundred thousand, or perhaps even a million.

That’s what Director Yang Chen thought.

But when he saw the number of people in the backstage of the live broadcast room, he was stunned.

1.63 million?

The numbers had dropped, but only by about two hundred thousand?

Huh, how come these anti-fans haven’t left even though their operation failed? What are they still watching?

What are they watching?

Of course, they’re watching the new "brother."

...

Sitting in a corner of the study room, Zhang Mengqi glanced around and, feeling a bit guilty, angled her computer screen towards herself in a manner that suggested she was afraid of someone catching a glimpse.

Even though no one was looking at her, she still felt as if people around were whispering about her betrayal and jumping ship.

Hmm, I haven’t betrayed or jumped ship at all. Although the operation failed, it’s still necessary to keep up with the dynamics of the opposing camp.

Zhang Mengqi rationalized it in her mind.

As a fan of Zhou Yu, especially as one within the core fan group, she naturally joined the attack on Wu Mu under the direction of Zhou Yu’s company.

However, to be honest, although she had joined Zhou Yu’s core fan group and had been a fan of his for several years, she wasn’t one of those die-hard true love fans and wasn’t fanatic about Zhou Yu.

She belonged to a rather unique category among star fans: performance-driven fans.

Compared to caring about whether Zhou Yu was handsome or had a good personality, she was more concerned about whether Zhou Yu’s achievements were strong, how his movie projects fared, and what his endorsement resources were like.

The initial reason she became a fan of Zhou Yu was simply that he was top-tier among the popular stars at that time.

Being able to prove her taste was superior by her idol’s superior achievements offered her a special sense of accomplishment.

And as a performance-driven fan of a star, she naturally looked down on Wu Mu, a top-tier celebrity who was rather unremarkable.

Before Wu Mu’s popularity fell, his popularity among the top-tier celebrities was only middle-of-the-road, bolstered only by fans with higher loyalty and more fighting spirit.

Moreover, whether in the singing industry or in TV and film, he didn’t have much to show for it, definitely not fitting her idol criteria.

After Wu Mu’s popularity crashed, he became even less noteworthy, so she hardly paid any attention to him. She would skim over his topics and searches on Weibo and move on without much thought.

It was only because of her idol company’s organized campaign that she clicked into his program for the first time.

And then after watching... she found it hard to turn back.

Zhang Mengqi admitted that perhaps she had been a bit narrow-minded before.

How could you like an idol just for their achievements? That’s too superficial.

You can also pay attention to the idol’s appearance.

Zhang Mengqi glanced around guiltily again like a thief before daring to fix her gaze on the new... idol rival on the screen.

Wasn’t he just a bit too handsome?

How... how was his face even structured?

It felt like no matter from which angle you looked, he was blindingly handsome.

Especially those eyes!

On the screen, Wu Mu looked like he was thinking of something delightful, gazing at the program’s camera with a smile in his eyes.

Then Zhang Mengqi’s eyes met his.

Bright, warm, shimmering as if filled with light!

Zhang Mengqi could feel her heartbeat racing.

Oh no, this was the feeling of being smitten!

Of course, if he was just handsome, she might have coveted him a bit but wouldn’t necessarily start liking him.

But if he was also good at singing, and his songs were that good, then that was a different story.

Zhang Mengqi sneakily opened up her own live broadcast recording, which she had originally planned to analyze his faults later, but before she could find faults, she found herself a bit mesmerized by the person instead.

She tightly wore her headphones and pulled the recording to the part where Wu Mu began to sing.

Just because I took one more glance at you in the crowd...

She couldn’t help it, she really couldn’t!

The superficial past Zhang Mengqi who only cared about achievements was dead, now she cared more about the idol’s substance.

And her who cared a lot about the idol’s substance, received an @everyone notification from the Zhou Yu fan group manager, "@everyone, everyone stop giving Wu Dog’s topic heat, let’s quickly reduce the topic’s temperature."

Reduce the topic’s temperature?

The task given to them before, apart from controlling the comments, was also to push the topic of Wu Mu purchasing songs for marketing onto the hot search list.

Zhang Mengqi curiously opened Weibo, and then immediately located Wu Mu’s topic in the real-time hot search rankings.

After all, it was just too conspicuous.

Real-time hot search third place:

#WuMuPurchasedSongMarketingExposed#

Real-time hot search fifth place:

#WuMuImageSecondCollapse#

Real-time hot search seventh place:

#ScammerWuMu#

All in the forefront of the hot search rankings.

Actually, if the first and second ones weren’t two official posts, the topic would probably top the list.

Aren’t these still blackening content? Why decrease the heat?

Zhang Mengqi was somewhat puzzled. Normally, even if the live broadcast room was turned around, maintaining the hot searches on Weibo would damage Wu Mu’s reputation among the general public as well.

But after she clicked into the detailed hot search, she immediately understood the reason.
