Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Using Me as a Jukebox

It turned out that controlling comments under the trending topics was getting out of control.

Previously, the top comments under these trending topics were all manipulated by their anti-fans, but now, there were different voices emerging.

"LOL, the tables have turned, Wu just improvised a song on the spot and slapped those haters right in the face."

"Haha, I always felt these people were overreacting, making a big deal out of the minor issue of a too-clean workspace, and now they’ve got egg on their face."

"All I can say is that those slandering Wu were simply adding heat to his fame. Many who didn’t care about him before got drawn to his live stream by the haters’ discussions, and once they watched his show, even passersby became fans."

"Seriously insane, I’ve been keeping an eye on Wu’s Weibo follower count. His follower count on Weibo didn’t drop at all after this controversy blew up, which shows his fans didn’t unfollow him because of this. After all the supportive cleanups from his fans, they’ve become die-hard fans. And after he finished singing, in less than ten minutes, his follower count increased by a couple hundred thousand."

To my surprise, there were a lot more comments speaking up for Wu Mu below.

With these comments, it’s no wonder Zhou Yu’s fan group management wanted to cool things down.

With this trend in comments, the passersby drawn in might even become fans of Wu Mu after seeing the comments section.

Zhang Mengqi finally understood what she had heard about Wu Mu being difficult to slander. Indeed, it was tough, as any attempt to tarnish him could inadvertently boost his popularity and appeal.

And it wasn’t over yet.

While Zhang Mengqi had Wu’s live stream open on one side, browsing the web on the other, she heard another ringtone in Wu’s live stream.

She wasn’t initially concerned about the ringtone since she was engrossed in scrolling through Weibo.

She stumbled upon Qingquan Distilled Water’s official Weibo. Qingquan wasn’t fooling around; in less than half an hour, they posted saying not only would they contact Wu to buy his song, but they were also considering inviting him to be their new brand ambassador.

The show got slandered, and not only did the fan count increase, but he also landed a new endorsement deal?

Zhang Mengqi was really enjoying her gossip browsing.

Then, she heard Wu’s live stream had picked up the call.

"Xiaotian, teacher?"

"Ah, you want to hear a song?"

Hmm?

A song?

Zhang Mengqi instantly caught the keyword and quickly switched back to Wu’s live stream.

...

Wu, still a bit confused, continued with the phone call.

The call was from Wang Xiaotian, who immediately said he also wanted to hear a song.

No, is this like you and Lu Yao being on a show, and just happening to have a singing game calling for external help?

Wang Xiaotian wasn’t on a show. Listening to the background noise over the phone, he seemed to be at a dinner, and voices around him were also greeting, calling him "Teacher Wu."

Wang Xiaotian sounded kinda indignant, "I’m not on a show, so I can’t listen to songs? Lu Yao can, but I can’t?"

Wu laughed, Lu Yao was on a show, yours can’t be the same.

It looks like he’s being used as a human jukebox.

But honestly, if Lu Yao heard it, Wang Xiaotian deserved to as well.

He and Wang Xiaotian were very close—genuine friends. Singing a song for a friend was no big deal.

And Wang Xiaotian’s request to listen to a song was just an excuse.

His main goal was...

"I was just having dinner, and heard about your live stream incident. They say that your song purchase was purely scandalous slander, and even the company was marketing it. Did you know Wu Mu doesn’t have company backing at all? Plus, if he wanted to market himself, he’d be way hotter than he is now," Wang Xiaotian said seriously.

Hmm, he specifically came to support me.

You can say, it was quite noble.

Despite the fact that Wu’s live stream seemed to be reversing some of the poor reviews and even converting some people into fans,

in reality, the majority were still haters. They might have changed their perception slightly and stuck around for the drama.

Wang Xiaotian coming to support Wu under such circumstances definitely meant risking offending some anti-fans.

This type of action, where there are no visible benefits, only potential negative impacts, wouldn’t happen unless he truly considered him a friend.

Wu remembered this in his heart and smiled, "Alright, what song do you want to hear?"

Wang Xiaotian’s phone apparently had the speaker on, causing an immediate uproar from the crowd about which song to choose.

Finally, after a lengthy debate, they concluded, "’The Brightest Star in the Night Sky!’"

"Then I’ll get my guitar."

Wu went to grab his guitar again.

The audience in the live stream, including Zhang Mengqi and those who had no ill feelings toward Wu, had their faces filled with anticipation, another song to listen to?

Awesome!

As the live stream audience watched eagerly, Wu quickly brought back his guitar.

He was very familiar with ’The Brightest Star in the Night Sky,’ having often listened to it back on Earth in his previous life. So, he picked up the guitar, activated ’Skill,’ and started playing and singing familiarly.

Compared to the previous ’Legend,’ ’The Brightest Star’ might not be as romantically intense, nor did it have the same attack effect on female fans.

However, the emotions and themes expressed in this song were undoubtedly more universally applicable, addressing the confusion and loneliness everyone encounters.

Additionally, Wu resonated more emotionally with this song, making the listening experience just as good as with ’Legend.’

Many in the audience who were listening attentively for the first time truly felt the surprise of discovering a gem of a star.

You have to admit, his singing skills were truly impressive.

Wang Xiaotian’s friends on the phone were also moved.

"I’ve long heard that Teacher Wu Mu is in a league of his own when it comes to singing, and feeling it now, the infectiousness is just so strong."

"With this ability of Teacher Wu, you really don’t have to worry about not being sought after, no matter what time it is."

Wang Xiaotian was proud, "I’ve told you before how great Wu Mu is at singing. This is still over the phone; if you were there live, it’d feel even more amazing."

Then a somewhat somber voice expressed regret, "It’s a pity not hearing Teacher Wu Mu sing this song live. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It instantly reminded me of over a decade ago when I was still in school, completely lost without direction."

Wang Xiaotian was indeed attending a dinner function. He introduced Wu over the phone, "Wu Mu, that was Director Zhong Han speaking. They’ve got an animation project coming up, asked me to do voice acting, and as we were having dinner with Director Zhong, we heard about your situation and decided to call and listen to a song."

Director Zhong Han?

When it comes to other movie directors in the industry, Wu might not be too familiar, but as someone who especially loves animation and anime, he definitely remembered animation directors very well.
