Chapter 290: Chapter 259: New Album Pre-orders Skyrocket Again (4k)_2

After watching it... Xiao Xu let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his somewhat sore nose, and logged into his Weibo account, which he rarely ever used, to follow the celebrity named Wumu. Then, he went to the comment section to leave a reply.

"After listening to Childhood, I think there are no behind-the-scenes manipulations. He deserved to win first place!"

After commenting, he looked over the content of the post and clicked on the link to also pre-order the album advertised on Weibo.

Such a good singer, how come I never noticed him before.

New album, must support!

...

At Hongtu Game Company, the gaming boss Guo Hong was also keeping an eye on the new hot topics related to their company’s spokesperson.

It was hard not to pay attention to them, as since yesterday, people had been swarming their official game account to criticize them, saying they chose an artist with a tainted reputation as their spokesperson.

As soon as Guo Hong received the report from his subordinates, he immediately guessed that their game spokesperson must be caught up in some new controversy.

He had to say, their spokesperson was involved in a lot of drama indeed. Every now and then, a new wave would hit, and their company would also get a spotlight on the trending searches.

However, drama aside, thinking about replacing this spokesperson...

Guo Hong looked at the report handed over by the company’s operations team that morning.

The report was about the recent pre-order activity they had organized, linked to Wumu’s new album.

This activity was initially just a simple gesture to give Wumu a hand.

But after launching it, he realized that the response was much greater than expected.

Not only had it quickly reached their preset threshold for pre-orders, but according to the data analysis by their operations team, it had also drawn back a lot of old players who hadn’t logged in for a while.

What he thought was just a simple favor had actually brought back old players specifically for this event... Was his popularity really that high?

Moreover, the pre-order activity’s effect was unexpectedly good.

Last night, one of their big-spender players, called ’Silence is Golden’, kept using the megaphone on the public server to encourage everyone to pre-order the song Childhood sung by Wumu, to add it to the game’s background playlist.

If it were just this one person doing it, that would be one thing, but it seemed like others were quite fond of the song as well, and they started to follow suit consecutively.

Up until now, the server had been flood with this matter; it had nearly formed a spontaneous event.

A spokesperson with such good effects, a joke to let them change...!

Now, even if Wumu called to ask for an increase in his endorsement fee, he would agree, let alone replace him.

Such a bargain for a hire!

...

In South Korea, a high school student named Guang Mo had just finished her cram school classes and was browsing through Instagram on her way home.

Instagram is a globally popular social networking platform with over 2 billion monthly active users.

It’s also widely used in South Korea and is one of the country’s hottest platforms.

Guang Mo usually liked to check out the latest updates from various celebrities on Insta.

While scrolling through, she stumbled upon a trending post about her country’s boy band Meteor Youth Group.

"Meteor Youth Group’s Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun face unfair treatment and program manipulation in a music contest in Hua Country, and were insulted by a Hua Country idol."

Huh?

Although Guang Mo wasn’t a fan of Meteor Youth Group, the idea of her country’s idols being subjected to unfair treatment abroad and getting insulted riled her up with a sense of shared indignation. She immediately clicked on the post to find out more.

The post detailed the unfair treatment Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun faced in Hua Country, the program’s malice in manipulating the contest, and the spiteful behavior of the victor who also insulted Yi Junxi and Li Zhengxun.

Just reading it made Guang Mo feel very angry, as if she were personally involved.

The comments section was already ablaze with rants.

"Western scum, if that little punk from Hua Country dares to mess with Junxi in our country, I’ll go smack him right across the face."

"Junxi and Zhengxun should sue that trash show and make them pay."

"Typical of Hua Country people, only good at playing dirty tricks."

"Junxi shouldn’t have gone to Hua Country for their show, their programs have no value apart from a local audience, outside of Hua Country, no one cares about them."

"Pfft, Hua Country’s culture has no influence in the world whatsoever. Thousands of years of culture, all of it stolen from us. With so many people, there haven’t been many real international stars."

Guang Mo nodded vigorously as she read the comments below, feeling they were absolutely right.

With righteous indignation, she typed on the screen, "This Hua Country star is such a disgusting, despicable person, unable to defeat Junxi, so he resorts to dirty tricks. Junxi fell for their trap."

After she finished typing, ready to send it, she saw a new reply update on her screen.

"Actually, Brother Wumu isn’t what everyone says he is. He’s really a great person. I met him while studying in Hua Country, and I think he’s more wonderful than any other idol."

It seemed to be a reply from an international student in Hua Country.

Below the reply, there was also a photo apparently of the person she called Brother Wumu singing.

Huh?

Guang Mo looked at the person on stage holding the microphone, the entire figure glowing dazzlingly, silent for two seconds, and deleted the words "disgusting, despicable person" from her reply.

Wow!

That Hua Country star Wu Mu is actually that handsome!?

Guang Mo stared at the photo, feeling her heartbeat speed up slightly.

He really looked too much to her taste!

Handsome than any domestic idol star!

Such a good-looking person didn’t seem like someone who would do despicable things. Perhaps she had misunderstood.

The international student in Hua Country kept on replying.

"Brother Wumu is as wonderful as the sun, and he’s also an incredible singer. Here’s a video of him singing from a past performance. See for yourself."

She posted a link.

Guang Mo clicked on it and found it was a forwarded singing video from her homepage.

She first opened the video at the top, seemingly translated as "Under the Sea."

The song was in Chinese, which she couldn’t understand, but...

"I feel so uncomfortable!"

Guang Mo felt her heart wrenching.

"This person must have a really tragic past."

Such emotive singing!

Even someone who didn’t understand could feel the despair.

She continued to watch other videos; after viewing "Heavenly Queen," "Legend," "Star," and "Numb," she went back and silently deleted the words "dirty tricks" and "trap" from her reply box.

If she couldn’t make heads or tails of Chinese songs, with "Star" in Russian and "Numb" in English... It seemed like he really didn’t need to resort to any tricks.

She had a feeling that perhaps, maybe... this guy was actually a bit stronger than Yi Junxi?

The international student in Hua Country continued to give details. "Actually, it was Yi Junxi’s fans who began insulting Brother Wumu first. Wumu only got upset because of them, and even when he was upset, he didn’t say anything harsh. Look at these images; these are the insults Yi Junxi’s fans gave Brother Wumu on a Hua Country forum. I’ve translated them for you all."

After reading the translated insults in the images, Guang Mo felt somewhat indignant and started typing a new reply, "These people really went too far. Junxi really should do something about them, we can’t let such people tarnish our reputation."

After replying, she couldn’t help but privately message the international student, "Hello, do you know Brother Wumu’s Instagram account? Also, you mentioned he’s releasing a new album, is it available for pre-order on the iTunes Store? If there’s no pre-order, where can I download the international version of their app?"

...

While discussions about the Legendary Voice show were happening everywhere.

On Yi Junxi’s side, his agent approached him with a grave expression.

"Junxi, we need to issue a statement, telling the fans on the Hua Country side to calm down, we can’t let them keep stirring things up."

Yi Junxi was taken aback.

Then he immediately furrowed his brows, "Someone insults me on a show, and I have to follow his demand and manage the fans?"

What kind of joke was that? He’d look like a complete pushover.

He hadn’t done anything, and yet he was the one who ended up with all the bad luck.
