Chapter 205: Chapter 205: How to Evaluate Wu Mu’s New Show

"Why else, Wu doesn’t need fans at all," Zhang Mengqi’s friend Feng Zheng stated matter-of-factly.

A netizen named Cotton Candy posted the "nodding vigorously" emoji and added, "Not only does he not need fans, but he also cuts them off!"

To support her point, she even went ahead and screenshot previous Weibo posts by Wu Mu.

Only then did Zhang Mengqi realize that Wu Mu had made such posts.

At first, she didn’t see anything wrong with it, until her friend Feng Zheng pointed out, "If he’s someone who doesn’t need fans, what’s the fun in being his fan? No matter how much you support him or boost his popularity, you get no feedback. There’s just no sense of achievement at all."

And really, when you think about it, this issue isn’t small at all.

Despite fans often being labeled as crazy or obsessed, in reality, most people aren’t without brains.

They become fans of celebrities, not only because they are drawn to them but also because supporting these celebrities gives them a sense of achievement.

The relationship between idols and their fans has long established a complete feedback loop.

Many fans support not simply because they like the idol but because this support gives them ongoing positive feedback.

Whenever they vote to support their idol, make data, maintain popularity and good public sentiment, not only do the idol and their management company thank you, but your fellow fan circle also gives you various positive feedback. Not to mention, there’s also a sense of achievement in seeing your idol become more popular with your support.

Being a fan, especially a core fan, has long evolved from a simple relationship of liking and being liked to a complex system.

Take being a fan of Zhou Yu, for instance, every day is filled with activities like crafting topic data, countering those who speak ill of their idol, and such. All these can directly lead to making a topic trend, causing the detractors to delete comments or even get banned, giving a strong sense of achievement, with everyone around praising your efforts and the idol also thanking and empathizing with you.

But being a Wu fan... you don’t have to do anything; no need for making data, no need to counter the negativity, nor is there anyone organizing fan circles, or idol forums and the like.

He himself even cuts off the fandom fans on Weibo.

So, that kind of fan has no sense of achievement.

Being the rational and silently supportive fan might not be an issue for an outsider.

But for them, who view supporting their idol as a leisure hobby, it’s undeniably a bit boring.

Feng Zheng advised her, "Being his fan is really pointless, better to be his anti-fan instead. It’s much more fun to spend the day criticizing and cursing him, and besides, we just watch when his shows and songs come out."

Cotton Candy continued nodding vigorously, "Yeah, Wu likes to be the center of controversy and attract hatred anyway. In a way, criticizing him is also a form of support, making you his fan too."

Zhang Mengqi: "...."

What kind of twisted logic is this!

Actually, the slow growth of Wu Mu’s core fandom is largely for the reason they’ve just mentioned.

But nonetheless, after every major event, there’s still a bit of an increase.

Today’s live stream was clearly a hot topic with plenty of discussion potential. The internet is abuzz discussing Wu Mu’s improvisational songwriting abilities demonstrated today, and whether this was scripted.

Take Zhihu, for instance, this topic immediately topped the trending searches.

"How would you rate celebrity Wu Mu’s improvisational songwriting ability shown in the live stream of ’Idol Daily’ and where does this ability rank among domestic singers? And also, was today’s program scripted? Were his songs written on the spot or were they purchased?"

The top-liked response, with thirteen thousand likes:

Singer Old Dong: "Thanks for the invite, barely count as an insider, let me first tackle whether or not it was scripted—I lean towards no. I won’t repeat the proof provided by Mo Mo, Sun Yueqing as everyone has already mentioned it enough, I’ll talk about a less discussed aspect—If Wu Mu’s songs were bought, who among insiders could have written them."

"As a singer, and barely a songwriter too, while I can’t compare to Wu Mu’s talents, I’m somewhat familiar with the styles and composing habits of some singers and songwriters in the industry. You might not know, but songwriters have their personal habits, as everyone depends on their own paths."

"A long time ago, when Wu Mu was regaining popularity, I doubted whether his songs were purchased, but following this line of thought, I realized it was a dead-end because I couldn’t find anyone in the industry whose style matched his songs, not a single one."

"He has released about fifteen or sixteen songs by now and they’re quite varied in style, but when I examine each song separately and guess which insider might have helped write it, I end up drawing a blank. If it were only one or two songs, maybe it was a songwriter I’m not aware of, but with so many songs, it’s impossible that I wouldn’t think of a single name."

"Additionally, after analyzing all the songs written by Wu Mu, I noticed, although they have different styles and don’t seem like they were written by the same person, a careful analysis reveals some commonality, like the use of chords, which is a technique rarely used in our industry, evident in songs like ’I Remember’ and ’As You Wish’..."

The music circle on Blue Star is quite different from the entertainment industry on Earth, with some techniques that are common knowledge on Earth maybe not being popular on Blue Star.

Then these techniques and methods were used to support that these songs, while not necessarily written by the same person, at least have similarities.

This insider singer Old Dong wrote several thousand words, analyzing Wu Mu’s songs from various profess...
