Chapter 283: Chapter 256: Straight up Giving Your Idol an Attitude_2

Don’t say it, but he felt quite nostalgic looking at this vaguely familiar venue.

Of course, what he missed even more was the points panel that skyrocketed after he came out.

So, as he walked out of the contestant tunnel and was about to step onto the stage, he stopped in his tracks.

Seeing him come to a halt, the audience, who had been waiting for him to step on stage, were taken aback and then fell silent.

Wu Mu, too, stood there silently, looking at them as if he was waiting for something.

The atmosphere inside the venue, which had been quite lively, suddenly turned eerily quiet.

In the backstage rest area, Tsukishima Chizuru, seeing the sudden silence in the live feed at the front, was somewhat baffled, "What’s wrong with Wu Mu? Why isn’t he going up?"

Why isn’t he going up?

Her music partner stiffened, forcing a smile, "He, he..."

How was she supposed to explain this?

Why couldn’t Wu just die!

It had been so long, and he was still playing the same tricks!!

He’s so annoying!

Tsukishima Chizuru’s music partner covered her face.

She just couldn’t say it out loud, that Wu was waiting for the audience to insult him before going on stage!

After a few seconds of eerie silence in the auditorium, the audience, just staring at the unmoving Wu Mu, felt numb.

"How can Wu be so shameless!?"

"He’s overused this trick, and he’s still using it!"

"I really want to rush up there and punch him!"

Everyone felt like they were reliving the past six months.

"Don’t satisfy him! Insulting him is just what he wants! Besides, if we insult him now and his song turns out to be good later, it’ll make us look like the villains getting slapped in the face!"

"Right, just stand our ground. This is live; let’s see how long he dares to stand there!"

The audience was pissed.

So they were just props for energizing the atmosphere?

They wanted to see how long this bastard could stand!

They all continued in a stare-off with Wu Mu on stage.

Tsk.

Wu Mu smacked his lips, watching the scene.

After not being on stage for so long, couldn’t these people come up and help him drag out the camera time a bit?

But this was a live broadcast, and he really couldn’t stand still forever.

Playing a bit with the situation was a joke, but playing too long would turn into a broadcast accident.

Regrettably, Wu Mu was about to lift his foot and step onto the stage.

But unexpectedly, before he could step on stage,

a loud shout suddenly came from the quiet audience.

"Brother, I love you!"

Huh?

Wu Mu was taken aback and involuntarily looked toward the crowd.

The audience was also stunned for a moment.

Where did this traitor come from!

An answer would have been fine, but a fan!?

Everyone stared in the direction of the shout.

Eventually, they found it was a girl sitting on the right side of the stands.

The girl seemed a little socially anxious and, realizing everyone was looking at her, waved happily at Wu Mu on stage.

Wu Mu was somewhat amused.

He slowly walked onto the stage and, once he stood firm, smiled at the girl in the audience, "Hey, don’t talk nonsense, I don’t have a sister."

Seeing that the girl in the audience still wanted to say something, he laughingly said, "You’ve picked the wrong time to call me brother. I was about to criticize fan culture when I got on stage."

Criticizing fan culture?

The audience, who had been staring at the traitor, was again confused and redirected their gaze at Wu Mu, not understanding what he was talking about.

Wu Mu spoke openly, "Due to a promo for the recent show, quite a few of Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun’s fans have come to message me with abuse. To be honest, I originally had a good impression of the two artists, but it plummeted because of these fans."

???

Was this something you could say directly on the show?

And Wu Mu wasn’t done yet, "I think as international superstars, they also have the responsibility to manage their fans’ behavior. Otherwise, it would appear to the world that this is the kind of quality all our artist’s fans have."

Fuck!

Wu has lost his mind!?

Directly exposing such a thing on a live broadcast!

The atmosphere in the audience instantly turned even more bizarre than before, as everyone looked at Wu Mu as if he were some kind of deity.

Not only were the live audience members stunned, but the competitors in the resting room were also dumbfounded.

Yi Junxi, who hadn’t really cared about Wu Mu and couldn’t understand what Wu Mu was saying, had been just symbolically watching the show, pretending to be serious.

But as he pretended, he suddenly noticed that the music partners and producers around him had all frozen.

And after holding back, they all looked over at him together, with strange and eerie gazes.

Junxi kept his smile and asked with curiosity, "What is this teacher saying?"

The music partner hesitated for a moment and then cautiously said, "He’s saying that you haven’t managed your fans well and don’t deserve to be an artist."

Junxi: "???"

In the backstage monitoring room, the show’s director was also starting to feel dizzy.

A live broadcast accident, a live broadcast accident had happened!

He was so stupid, really, why would he have thought to invite a ticking time bomb like Wu Mu to a live broadcast!

Exposing in front of everyone that a contestant on a program was attacking another contestant, an international celebrity at that... He could already imagine the uproar online after tonight.

"Producer Wu, should we cut his camera?" the director tried to steady his nerves and asked Producer Wu Feng beside him.

But who would have expected that Producer Wu Feng, although a bit furrowed of brow, was rather composed.

Upon hearing these words, he looked at him as if he were alright in the head, "Cut the camera? Isn’t this just free publicity for us?"

Ah?

They dare to take on this kind of heat?

Wouldn’t their production team be blasted by Yi Junxi’s and Li Zhengxun’s fans afterward?

Wu Feng seemed to find it somewhat incomprehensible, "Why would they blast us? Do Yi Junxi’s fans really think that we’re controlling Wu Mu to say these things?"

If they had that kind of ability, they wouldn’t have let Wu Mu also blow the lid on the fact that he’d been banned and forced to retire.

"Those people, they will look for Wu Mu to blame, and only after dragging Wu Mu down will it involve us."

Eh, thinking about it carefully, that does seem to be the case?

"Edit this segment later and use it directly as the teaser for our episode."

Not only was Wu Feng not worried, but he also wanted to continue taking advantage of this windfall of attention.

Although Wu Mu seemed a bit unpredictable, he couldn’t help but admit, the guy really knew how to generate buzz.

He could do all sorts of abstract things.

With just these few sentences, if they were put up as a teaser online, would they even need to worry about lacking hot topics?

There were simply too many talking points inside.

Moreover, they always only dared to subtly stir up opposition, but Wu Mu...

He just went straight for the jugular!

After today, there was no need to worry about Yi Junxi’s fans hating Wu Mu to death, right?

No need to worry that everyone wouldn’t be chasing to watch which of the two would be eliminated?

Indeed, Yi Junxi’s and Li Zhengxun’s fans absolutely despised Wu Mu now.

The barrage of comments had already been furiously filled with them.

All cursing Wu Mu.

Well, if Wu Mu minded even a bit, it would count as his loss.

A private message cursing him?

Fan behavior, the idol pays the price!

He’d just given their beloved idol a piece of his mind!

Since he didn’t need fans anyway, if anyone wanted to counter him using the fan topic, he could straightforwardly suggest kicking out those who cursed.

Could Yi Junxi do that?

Standing on the stage for a few seconds, Wu Mu let the audience digest a bit, and incidentally milked some points, before he ended the entertainment segment.

A singing program was ultimately about the singing, after all, and he couldn’t upstage the main event, disrupting the theme of the show.

After having a go at Yi Junxi and the rest, Wu Mu returned to the matter at hand.

"Next, I’ll bring everyone a new song, ’Childhood.’"

"I hope everyone will like it."

Yes, this was the song that Wu Mu had switched to at the last minute in the past few days, thankfully having time to rehearse it beforehand.
