Chapter 289: Chapter 259: New Album Pre-Order Skyrocketed Again (4k)

In a small town, office worker Xiao Xu, as usual, was secretly reading novels while at work.

After finishing the latest Chapter of the novel he was following, he casually cast this month’s newly accrued monthly votes.

Then he switched to the novel’s fan group chat, curious to see what kind of spicy gossip everyone was discussing.

To his surprise, upon entering, he saw that group members were actually discussing celebrity topics.

"Come get your popcorn, come get your popcorn, Wu Dog’s fans are fighting with Yi Junxi’s and Li Zhengxun’s fans!"

"Ah, Wu Dog’s fans? He still has fans that show up and speak out for him?"

"He has roadie fans, now the whole internet is supporting Wu Dog, saying they’ll become his one-day roadie fans."

"What’s going on?"

Xiao Xu had come across Wu Dog a few times and knew he was some sort of nickname for a domestic idol star.

He normally didn’t care about celebrity gossip, just novels, and maybe catching a high-rated movie when he had free time.

But the lure of juicy drama is human nature, and seeing how enthusiastically everyone was chatting, he couldn’t help but click on the link shared by a group member.

The link was to a Weibo trending topic share page.

Looking at the Weibo hot search rankings appearing on his phone screen, he was slightly taken aback.

#Wu Mu Tells Yi Junxi to Manage His Fans#

#Today I’m Wu Mu’s One-Day Fan#

#Wu Mu is Too Free#

#Wu Mu Legendary Voice First Episode Wins by a Large Margin#

#Did Wu Mu Get First Place Through Backdoor Deals?#

#How Is Wu Mu’s Song Childhood?#

To his amazement, six out of the top twenty Weibo hot searches were about Wu Mu.

What major news had happened this time?

He clicked on the top trending post, curious.

Quickly, through the news summary under the hot search topic, he learned what was going on.

Turns out, this star named Wu Mu, during a music variety show, criticized two South Korean idol stars for their fans being too fanatic, telling them to keep their fans in line...

...That was pretty explosive.

He remembered Wu Mu himself was an idol star, who also relied on his fans for his career—yet he was the one telling other idols about overzealous fandoms...

You can only describe it as absurdly humorous.

And wasn’t he afraid of offending people by saying such things?

Xiao Xu immediately thought of some kind of publicity stunt, maybe something the show planned to generate hype.

But the people in the comments section didn’t seem to think it was a stunt.

"If it were anyone else, I’d suspect a scripted publicity move by the show, but if it’s Wu Dog, believe first, then question!"

"This kind of act would be explosive and abstract on anyone else, but on Wu Dog... just perfect!"

"Good, bashing fandoms? Now I have to support him. Those Korean fans are even more idiotic than ours; I remember a few years back, there was a proposal to ban Korean shows in our country, which the fanatics promptly crusaded against to the point of doxxing the proposer’s daughter, making hateful phone calls and all that."

"Guys, don’t just support here, go support under Wu Dog’s Weibo posts. He’s being slammed by Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun’s fans. Normally I’d enjoy the drama when he gets bashed, but when he’s attacked by these fandoms, today I am a Wu Dog fan!"

To Xiao Xu’s surprise, this star he had never followed before seemed to have quite a good reputation.

Following the links posted by the commenters, he navigated to the star’s Weibo account.

The comment section under the top post promoting his new album had already reached over seven hundred thousand comments.

Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun’s fans were furious. Their own idols had already been unfairly treated prior to the show, and now Wu Mu had openly criticized them on-air for not controlling their fans?

And then their idols ended up being manipulated by the show, losing by a large margin?

They couldn’t help but angrily vent. If they didn’t, they’d be so frustrated they wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

"Piece of trash, liking to play these petty tricks, no wonder you have no family, you’re an orphan."

"You’ve only been in the limelight for a few days, and you’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a bootlicker in chats, huh? Called baby every day, must be really lacking love, right?"

"Baby, can’t you stop clowning around, go back to your bottle, okay?"

"A flow-idol with no real talent, and now he has the audacity to talk about fandom culture?"

The insults were downright unreserved, directly hitting below the belt.

Xiao Xu frowned as he read, his impression of Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun souring instantly.

Their fans clearly wanted to push these offensive comments to the top to make Wu Dog look bad.

Normally, they might have succeeded.

But now...

"It’s disgusting, Wu Dog was right, just a bunch of moronic fans; none of his anti-fans ever bring up his family."

"Now we see the class of Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun’s fans, licked South Koreans too much, turned into South Koreans themselves."

"Wu Dog, ignore these idiotic fans, today we are all your fans!"

"What’s wrong with baby, Wu Dog baby has us to like!"

It seems this person’s one-day fans really aren’t few; the top comments are all defending him, and if you sort by time, the "wipe them away" responses are clearly more numerous than those spewing hatred.

After browsing the comments for a while, Xiao Xu grew curious about this star who had so many casual defenders.

He decided to find the show that Yi Junxi’s fans called a backdoor deal, to see what the fuss was all about.
