Chapter 248: Chapter 232 Wu Definitely Has a Problem

His face looked serious.

But Li Jing just felt that the conspicuous bag was anything but serious!

No matter how she looked at it, it gave off the vibe that he was intentionally trying to amuse the audience in his previous shows.

Couldn’t believe what he said, but couldn’t believe what Cui Fu and the others said about his stunning acting, could she?

That was even more absurd!

On one side was reality, on the other, the style Wu Mu always exhibited.

Li Jing fell silent for two seconds, looking at the conspicuously serious-faced person before her, then at the huffing Sun Yueqing beside her and the subtly speechless Cui Fu not far away.

...She couldn’t tell!

Li Jing couldn’t help but ask, "Does Teacher Wu Mu have a scene today?"

Wu Mu shook his head, "Not today, it’s not until tomorrow that I have one."

"Then, Teacher Wu Mu, are there any shots you previously filmed that you can share publicly?"

"Not convenient!"

Seeing that Wu Mu clearly wasn’t planning on satisfying her curiosity nor revealing the mystery now, Li Jing felt somewhat of an itch, like a cat’s claws, in her heart.

She was extremely curious about what Wu Mu’s performance in the series was truly like, whether Wu Mu was fooling around again, or if Cui Fu and the others were bluffing on his behalf.

Was this the effect Wu Mu wanted to achieve?

To keep them hooked with curiosity, making everyone wonder whether his acting had improved, until they couldn’t resist checking it out on TV?

But this wasn’t a movie where initial box office could be boosted by such curiosity.

Marketing a TV show this way, regardless of how effective it might be, if it turned out to be all smoke and mirrors when aired, they would be in for a severe backlash.

She felt that Wu Mu wouldn’t be so foolish, but then considering Wu Mu’s past indifference to criticism... she became somewhat doubtful.

Anyway, the interview had left her mind foggy, the more she asked, the more confused she became.

However, it wasn’t without benefits; since she was so confused, the audience would be even more baffled when the interview aired.

That would indeed bring topics and ratings.

After asking a few more questions.

Li Jing nodded in appreciation.

"Okay, thank you all for taking the time for the interview, this episode will be broadcast on our channel, Chun City TV, in tomorrow night’s ’Voice of Culture’ program."

...

As soon as Li Jing left with the editorial team.

Sun Yueqing couldn’t hold it anymore, expressing angrily, "I supported you, and you call me biased?"

"What’s going on?"

They had defended Wu Mu’s acting, which should have been greatly beneficial for him.

Why did Wu Mu, the person concerned, come out to refute them instead, emphatically proving his lack of acting skills?

Yang Rongfa also looked puzzled, "Is Teacher Wu Mu trying to keep this topic heated to increase the heat a bit more?"

Not to say, it really seemed possible.

Unlike reporter Li Jing, they knew that Wu Mu had "acting skills," so they weren’t afraid he would be criticized when the TV show was broadcast.

This back-and-forth with the audience was indeed a good way to push the hype higher and then throw on some fuel just before the TV show aired.

Yang Rongfa speculated Wu Mu’s intentions.

Wu Mu himself just smiled and spread his hands, "No, I simply think my acting isn’t worth mentioning at all, I really can’t live up to everyone’s high praise."

"Not only did he say that, he also said to Mr. Yang, "Mr. Yang, let’s not market my acting skills for this drama series anymore—let’s change direction.""

Ah?

No, seriously?

Your so-called lack of acting skills?

If you call that lack of acting skills, what about other people?

Everyone was a bit confused, completely unable to understand what Wu Mu was trying to do.

If it were anyone else who said this, Mr. Yang wouldn’t even bother responding. With such a large investment in the drama series, and having finally found a direction for hype and marketing, you say to stop marketing just like that—even the actor himself should give in a bit.

But this was coming from Wu Mu... not only was Wu Mu the biggest investor in the drama, but there was also his personality.

Other people, with such a large investment, definitely wouldn’t act according to their own preferences; decisions would still prioritize benefits.

But Wu Mu, Mr. Yang felt he should give in a bit more to avoid the dog-investor spreading out his hands in displeasure, leading to an unhappy withdrawal of funding.

Mr. Yang sighed, "Such a great buzz... it really is a pity not to use it."

No one understood Wu Mu’s intention, but since he specially mentioned it, what else could they do?

Sun Yueqing was still skeptical, "Are you sure you’re not up to something?"

Wu Mu spread his hands, "I’m not on a show right now, what would I be up to?"

Why then specifically ask not to mention good acting?

It can’t be that he likes being criticized.

Hmm, Sun Yueqing highly doubted whether her friend really enjoyed being scolded.

Otherwise, why did he always choose to stand out and invite criticism during shows?

So many people online scolded him, and he didn’t take it to heart at all.

"Tomorrow, after the interview airs, there will definitely be a lot of people online suspecting something’s off with you."

Given Wu Mu’s usual image online, she could roughly guess what everyone would say.

And indeed, it happened just as she thought.

The next day when the interview aired, she paid special attention.

And with that attention, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"See, your fans understand you," she said, lifting her phone towards Wu Mu.

Wu Mu, who was idly playing with his phone, curiously looked at her phone screen, then saw a Weibo trending hashtag titled "#WuInterviewOnActing#".

There was a lot of activity beneath the hashtag, and under a video clip posted by the official Chun City TV account, there were already thousands of comments.

The top liked comment read...

"This Wu is pulling some tricks again!"

"Can’t pinpoint what’s wrong, but there’s definitely a problem! Don’t believe what he says!"

"This is classic Wu. It looks like he is praising you, but he is actually fooling you!"

Wu Mu was speechless, "Now when I speak the truth, no one believes me?"

Sun Yueqing burst into laughter, "Is that the truth? Never mind me, even your own fans have all noticed. Didn’t you see the top comments all warning people not to be fooled?"

Indeed, although people haven’t figured out what Wu Mu was up to,

having watched his shows frequently, one could immediately feel his fun-loving vibe.

Especially when he praised that female journalist—it was almost spilling over!

Below, a popular comment summed up most people’s thoughts.

"When I heard Cui Fu and others saying Wu’s acting was good, my expression was the same as that journalist’s—I thought they had really degraded themselves, all set to shamelessly praise Wu’s acting. But then Wu himself came out and said his acting wasn’t good, and that Cui Fu and others were lying... Maybe Cui Fu and others weren’t telling lies after all!"
