Chapter 280: Chapter 255: Standing Out Again_2

Wu Mu chuckled slightly, "Right, before I came here nobody from the production team told me that I’d have to look at people trashing me while singing. Had I known earlier, I would’ve charged the production team a fee for emotional damages."

"Moderator, get to work, ban and kick out all these little trolls!"

Of course, banning and kicking was out of the question.

Everyone was shouting for it, but if they actually did, there would be no audience left.

The audience in the live stream was humming along.

"Just keep shouting, Wu, Wu!"

"Wu starts showing off the moment he’s on the program, he’d be uncomfortable if he didn’t."

"I’m crying, it’s been so long since the last variety show, and Wu is still so keen on causing a stir."

Wu Feng, who was monitoring the screen backstage, couldn’t help but comment, this guy was really something.

What was originally a standard opening became lively all thanks to Wu Mu’s antics.

Their program team could see from the backend data that although everyone was shouting "Wu, Wu," they were actually hooked, and really eating it up.

Now that all the contestants’ live streams were open, Wu Mu’s live stream had the highest viewership, and it was notably higher.

Even Yi Junxi, who was a top star with massive popularity in China, couldn’t compare.

Their backstage data showed that many people were streaming their favorite contestant’s live stream while also hanging on to Wu Mu’s.

Lu Yao didn’t quite know how to proceed after Wu Mu’s interruption.

Wu Mu took over for her, "Tell me three songs that left the deepest impression on you."

Uh?

That question was indeed on her script, meant for those viewers unfamiliar with Xiao Wu to get to know his work.

But it was she who was supposed to ask Xiao Wu, for him to share the three most memorable moments.

Why did it seem to be reversed?

Lu Yao was momentarily confused but still, without hesitation, said, "Legend," "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," "I remember."

Wu Mu nodded with an "hmm," "And the three most memorable on-site show experiences?"

"Masked Singer the third episode! Star Agency the fourth episode! Beijing Satellite TV’s evening shows on the sixth and seventh!"

"The three most memorable film and TV roles?"

"Shang Yan in ’Starry Sky Lovers’! Second Brother in ’Green Grass’! Mr. Zhang in ’Feiyang Era’!"

Wu Mu exclaimed, "Aren’t these the roles I was criticized the most for?"

Lu Yao looked a bit embarrassed, "But Xiao Wu, you were criticized for all your film and TV roles."

Wu Mu smacked his lips, alright then.

"And the three most memorable achievements?"

"Top album sales at 9.6 million! Unsponsored video game sponsorship amount of 83 million! Demanded to pay compensation of 1.1 billion!"

The first two were fine, but what the hell was that third one?

Lu Yao’s face turned red, "But that really made a deep impression."

Seeing that Wu Mu looked like he wanted to continue asking, she grew annoyed, "Isn’t it supposed to be my turn to ask you, Xiao Wu?"

Wu Mu chuckled, "You forgot, didn’t you? I remembered."

Lu Yao huffed, "I remember now!"

"Then go ahead and ask."

Lu Yao paused for two seconds on the spot, then turned her head, "Let’s take a look at the audience’s questions in the live stream."

The audience in the live stream furiously spammed the chat with laughing emojis.

And then they cooperatively asked questions.

"Wu, are you confident you can smash those K-pop idols?"

"Wu, what song are you going to sing later?"

"Wu, how far along are you with the game?"

Wu Mu looked at the barrage on the big screen, sighed, and laughed, "You expect me to reply to you with such nicknames? I won’t answer questions not prefaced with ’Teacher Wu Mu’, okay?"

Teacher Wu Mu?

The direction of the barrage changed.

"Teacher Wu Mu, how can we become as awesome as you?"

"Teacher Wu Mu, was 200X the year of the Dog? I checked Baidu and it says it’s the year of the Horse?"

"Teacher Wu Mu, can I punch you?"

Wu Mu laughed twice and picked out a few serious questions to answer.

"Am I going to sing a new song later?"

"Yes, I’ll be singing a new song later."

Wu Mu thought for a moment and then said, "Originally, I wanted to sing a rock song from my new album, but then I changed my mind and picked another one... you’ll find out soon enough."

Indeed, he had changed the song selection.

During the previous few days’ rehearsal, he had replaced "I Have Nothing" with a new song and had rearranged it.

He continued to answer questions.

"How many pre-orders are there for the new album now, and what is your own sales forecast?"

"The total pre-orders across all platforms are now 5.6 million, and I estimate the total sales will be around 8 or 9 million," Wu Mu replied honestly.

Ah.

Huh?

Wait, your pre-orders are only over 5 million, and you’re thinking of reaching 8 or 9 million in total sales?

Are you joking with me?

The audience was speechless.

"Wu, you’re good at joking, but please don’t do it next time."

"Heh, you still love joking around like you used to."

"Stop dreaming, getting to 3 million would be quite enough."

Nobody took Wu Mu’s words seriously, thinking he was just playing up effects for the show.

The questions continued.

But suddenly, someone started spamming in the barrage.

"Trash, Junxi doesn’t even consider you worthy of attention."

"Clown, let’s see if you still have the face to stand there after you lose."

"You’re shameless trying to grab the central spot when Junxi never cared from the start to the end."

Huh?

Wu Mu was taken aback.

What’s happening?

It didn’t take long for bystanders to report.

"It’s coming from Yi Junxi’s side! He said in his live stream he doesn’t consider you a serious competitor."

"That’s right, he said he never saw you as his rival!"

"Wu, are you going to take that? Blow him away!"

Really?

Wu Mu was astonished.

It was true.

Although the audience was somewhat instigating and enjoyed the commotion.

The information was generally accurate.

Yi Junxi didn’t really take the program seriously, he just came for the money.

He didn’t understand Chinese and was a step removed from the Chinese internet, so he didn’t get firsthand information.
