Chapter 249: Chapter 233: Lin Qingyue Visits the Set (4k)

Sun Yueqing pointed at the trending comment, bursting with laughter, "Look, everyone would rather illogically believe your acting has improved than believe you were speaking seriously."

Wu Mu: "...Everyone’s misunderstanding of me is too deep."

Misunderstanding?

Where’s the misunderstanding?

Isn’t this all just the truth?

Sun Yueqing revelled in the misfortune, "It’s your own fault for liking to amuse others, always creating ambiguous effects on shows. Who would believe it after seeing so much?"

She watched the spectacle with delight.

The heat of the topic was rapidly rising, attracting many who hadn’t seen the interview to learn about this matter.

Everyone unanimously thought there must be something wrong with Wu Mu, while also wondering—was Wu Mu’s acting really as improved as Cui Fu said, a pleasant surprise?

Or was it just as he said himself, negligible?

Those who disagreed felt,

"Although Wu definitely doesn’t have good intentions, I don’t believe his acting is stunning. He might have improved his singing and songwriting after a breakup and a house collapse, but could his acting improve too? Has heartbreak become a panacea?"

"People have analyzed his acting online a long time ago, wasn’t there already a consensus? He has no clue about acting. And unlike those traffic actors who rely on gimmicks, you could say they don’t try hard and lack talent. But Wu can’t even find the excuse that he doesn’t want to try."

"Remember the Starry Sky Lovers he filmed with Sun Yueqing? In interviews, he showed the long character bios he wrote—tens of thousands of words. His attitude seemed earnest and frightening with effort, but the result... Good effort, better not try next time. His forced acting was worse than just navigating through with a straight face. It’s obvious from this that he has no talent for acting."

"Yes, I also tend to think that Wu might have intended to stir up hype, after all, he’s invested so much in the show. He definitely wants to avoid losing money, so he had to find a way to boost the popularity."

These opinions were based on Wu Mu’s past performances.

But those who believed also had their arguments:

"I think Wu wouldn’t use such things to market and boost popularity because if he lacks talent and still hypes it up, that would just be outright deception. You see, Wu might seem indifferent to criticism, but whether it’s his stunts or his merchandise, he’s always managed not to offend anyone."

"Many of his controversial actions initially seem morally corrupt, but when viewed from a neutral third-party perspective, you realize he actually hasn’t done anything immoral. The fact that he’s still not universally disliked after being criticized so much also largely stems from Wu himself having a high moral standard."

"Yes, I also think that since he could evolve from a typical influential singer to a unique presence in the music world, it’s not impossible for a sudden breakthrough in his acting."

"And let’s not even start on Wu’s demeanor in the interview. Even a fool could tell something was off, but did you notice the expressions on Sun Yueqing and Cui Fu’s faces while he spoke? That baffled and dumbfounded look didn’t seem acted. Sun Yueqing and Cui Fu have always had good reputations. They wouldn’t risk ruining their own by saying things about the show that anyone could easily debunk upon airing."

Both sides had their own reasoning and could find support for their views.

Due to this intense controversy, the topic prompted by the interview kept rising in popularity until it reached the seventh rank on Weibo’s hot search list.

People discussed it on other platforms too.

Naturally, this caught the attention of internet celebrities and big-name influencers in the related circles.

After shooting for the day had ended, the crew wrapped up, and Wu Mu had just settled into his hotel room, he received a message from Sun Yueqing.

Sun Yueqing: "A big V with tens of millions of followers across the entire network spoke up for you!"

Hmm?

Curious, Wu Mu clicked on the link Sun Yueqing had sent.

It redirected to the Weibo homepage of an internet celebrity called "Xiaoyu Films."

This person was indeed a major influencer in Blue Star and Hua Country, mostly doing movie and TV series reviews and edits, with followers totaling around sixteen or seventeen million on platforms like B Station, Douyin, and Weibo—much more than Wu Mu.

The top post on this person’s homepage was about Wu Mu.

Xiaoyu Films: "I noticed that there’s recently been a lot of discussion online about whether Wu Mu has any acting skill. I’ve also received many private messages asking me to comment on this. I’m not qualified to critique, so I’ll just share my thoughts from the perspective of a film and TV drama enthusiast."

"Those who are familiar with me know that I never edit videos of popular but talentless idols, firstly because I don’t feel it’s necessary, and secondly because I’m afraid my words might be harsh and offend their fans. So, I didn’t pay much attention to Wu Mu until I received a message from a friend in France. (Picture) (Picture)"

"He sent me an interview video of the renowned French director Matthew Albert, asking if I knew the Hua Country actor mentioned and which works he had done, as he wanted to check them out."

"The name Matthew Albert needs no introduction to those who enjoy art films. Such a prominent director mentioned one of our Hua Country actors? And attracted my friend to inquire about his works? That really piqued my curiosity about who they were talking about."

"Then after I played the video, my curiosity got the better of me because the director praised our Hua Country actor immensely in the interview video, saying the actor he stumbled upon and invited for a guest appearance had a stunning performance and astonishing talent."
