Chapter 270: Chapter 249: Innate Thermal Holy Body (4k)_2

The system was definitely going to continue to play a role.

Wu Mu was calculating this in his mind.

But his employees clearly didn’t dare imagine a number as exaggerated as ten million.

The nearly four million pre-orders already had them thrilled and content.

Today, as usual, Shi Wu had come to the recording studio, full of emotion, "I really didn’t expect it to be this popular."

Although his boss was quite a character, it had to be said, he truly was a magnet for popularity.

Without even hiring a PR firm, he still managed to get such results through organic promotion.

Shu Mei was even more excited, her face flushed with enthusiasm, "Brother is really amazing!"

She had been quite speechless when Wu Mu said he wouldn’t do any promotions, thinking everything about her new brother was great except that he might be a bit too capricious.

Launching a new album without any promotion seemed outrageous.

But who knew it really wasn’t necessary to promote? Just a post on Weibo and people would naturally promote it for him.

Well, she was part of the promotion too.

It had been her who had arranged for Little Jiejie to create the MV on B Station.

But originally, she thought it would be amazing to even have a viewership of a million—never imagined it would reach sixteen million.

"Brother’s return to top-tier popularity is secured! Once the album officially goes on sale, selling two million copies will directly propel him to top-tier status among first-line singers!"

And it wasn’t just about the album sales, the upcoming TV shows would boost his popularity further.

His return to top-tier popularity was almost a sure thing.

Shu Mei felt somewhat teary-eyed inside—her incredibly talented new brother was finally going to return to top-tier status.

And not just any top-tier, but the crème de la crème!

With the current popularity, once back in the top spot, it was clear he was aiming for the highest ranks.

Wu Mu looked at the excited her and interjected with an eh, "What ’brother’? Use formal titles at work."

Well... it would be even better if her new brother weren’t such a fun person to be around.

Shu Mei gazed at the sky.

...

Was Wu Mu’s situation garnering so much attention?

Wu Feng pondered as he looked at the online discussions.

When Wu Mu had appeared on their show before, he was just an idol with exceptional singing skills who had started to change the public’s impression.

He hadn’t expected that in just over half a year, Wu Mu would become a major star who couldn’t be ignored within the circle.

It seemed he didn’t have many fans publicly, but he invariably became a hot topic, with unmatched popularity among the general public.

But this was actually a good thing for their show.

He had initially planned to postpone Wu Mu’s participation in their show since Wu Mu decided not to promote his new album.

However, now that his popularity had soared, there was no need to think about it—they definitely couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capitalize on this hype.

He called over the employee in charge of PR, "Release the news that Wu Mu will be a permanent guest, and tag his new album."

"Just Wu Mu?" the employee asked.

Wu Feng thought for a moment, "Release the ones for Yi Junxi and Tsukishima Chizuru as well."

Their show’s format initially featured seven singers, including three international and four national ones.

From their names, it was clear—one from Korea and another from Japan.

Both were absolutely top-notch singers and well-known domestically.

Yi Junxi was a member of the popular Korean boy band, Meteor Youth Group, which had high fame globally, with numerous fans in various countries.

Among them, domestically, Qiu Yiyang, who was one of the nation’s top celebrities, had returned home after leaving the group’s Chinese division.

Once he came back to the country, having been part of the Meteor Youth Group, he quickly became one of the top celebrities in the circle without much effort.

Tsukishima Chizuru was not as famous as Yi Junxi, and was not even considered a first-tier celebrity in Japan.

However, since he had sung many anime theme songs and released several hit anime songs, he was quite well-known domestically, especially among the younger audience.

Wu Feng’s choice to feature these two along with Wu Mu was naturally intended to stir up excitement and evoke emotions.

Soon, at the time when Weibo traffic was at its peak in the evening, the official account of Legendary Voice made an announcement.

Legendary Voice official: "Congratulations to Teacher Wu Mu on his new album achieving over four million pre-orders. We are honored to have Teacher Wu Mu as our first guest for the initial round of our show, @Evolved Wu Mu. Teachers Yi Junxi of Meteor Youth Group and Tsukishima Chizuru will also be appearing as our initial guests. #WuMuNewAlbum #LegendaryVoiceSingerAnnouncement."

At that moment, Wu Mu’s popularity was soaring, and Wu Feng’s idea to ride on this popularity was successful. Soon after the official Weibo announcement was posted, people began to notice it.

The viewers who scrolled through were somewhat surprised.

"Legendary Voice invited Wu to join? Wu Mu is going on a music show again?"

"Starting to look forward to it, it’s been a while since I saw Wu on a music variety show. When he sings on other variety shows, no one scores him, and I always feel like the feedback isn’t enough."

"Hahaha, watching people score Wu? Are you sure you’re looking for feedback? I wouldn’t even bother bursting your bubble."

Since his appearance on Masked Singer, Wu Mu hadn’t participated in any serious music variety shows, and many were still really looking forward to his live performances.

But some people also remembered something.

"Isn’t this show produced by Star City TV? Didn’t they ban Wu?"

"It’s not just that the show is produced by Star City TV, but even the show’s producer is the one from the previous singer-songwriter group. Looks like they’re swallowing their own ban."

"Jeez, Wu really is like a cool male protagonist, making a grand return as the Dragon King."

Many still remembered the incident when Star City TV had Wu Mu withdraw from the competition.

It was hard to forget; as the first program Wu Mu joined after that debacle, marketing accounts inevitably brought it up when they mentioned him.

Discussion flourished under the official announcement.

Besides discussing these matters, some spotted the theme of the show.

"Fuck, Yi Junxi? Tsukishima Chizuru? What’s the show trying to do!"

"The show’s producers are wicked, announcing Wu with these two together, clearly looking to stir comparisons."

Wu Feng indeed had this in mind, as their show’s theme thrived on such sensationalism.

The three people he selected for the initial launch, although of different ages, were all young stars with both high popularity and visibility; it’d be strange not to draw comparisons.

Online discussions about the comparisons among the three were ongoing.

Meanwhile, one of the concerned parties, Yi Junxi, wasn’t worried about this at all.

After receiving the notification from his agent and giving it a quick glance, he stopped paying attention.

Legendary Voice claimed to be a grand showdown of singers from East Asian countries, but really, the show was mainly aimed at the domestic audience, with foreign singers like Yi Junxi just there to spike the local viewers’ interest and emotions.

For Yi Junxi, this show wouldn’t boost his popularity at all; he was participating because the show offered good money, purely for the financial benefit.

As for being compared with Hua Country’s celebrities in the show... don’t be joking, they weren’t even on the same level.

The popular celebrity from Hua Country was only famous within Hua Country.

He, however, held considerably high popularity worldwide.

A star confined to Hua Country’s borders and a global star like him; what comparison could there be?

Yi Junxi treated it as just an opportunity to sing a few songs, grab the money, and run.

On the other hand, another concerned party, Tsukishima Chizuru, took a much more serious stance.

After reading the translated Weibo content and noticing that many comments supported Wu Mu, she couldn’t help but ask the interpreter curiously, "Miss Ho, is Mr. Wu Mu very popular in your Hua Country?"

The interpreter was momentarily at a loss for words at the question.

This, whether saying popular or unpopular, both seemed somewhat inaccurate?
