Chapter 326: Chapter 276: Superstar and Album Release_2

Unfortunately, these people are really just the fun-loving types who join in on the excitement; look, now they’ve come to criticize Wumu again.

Listening to her, Wumu looked at her strangely, "Brother Wumu?"

Shu Mei felt slightly guilty, "That’s what those Korean fans call you."

She attempted to change the subject, "I’ve infiltrated the Korean fan groups! The fans who came to the event haven’t left yet—they’ve gone to tour your hometown!"

Wumu looked at her amusedly, "Call me boss."

Shu Mei looked dejected, "Yes, boss."

But she quickly perked up, excitedly saying, "Boss, I really think the Japan-Korea strategy could work. You’ve only shown up in South Korea a few times, and you already have such loyal fans. If you were to appear on a few South Korean shows, the number of fans would explode!"

"Now just having a few people can make someone travel to your hometown. When there are more fans, your hometown will literally turn into a global tourist destination!"

"Now the country is already promoting its culture overseas and developing its global tourism business. Boss, if you could align with the country’s strategy... you could directly become a superstar of the new era! Forget about appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, when our diplomats go oversea they would have to bring your albums as gifts!"

Wumu: "..."

Wumu looked at Shu Mei speechlessly. Did he have the system, or did Shu Mei?

How could she dream even bigger than he did?

The Legendary Voice show was on hold, and Wumu was temporarily free, just waiting for Lin Qingyue’s movie to finish preparation and officially start shooting.

But before the movie officially started, there was the matter of Wumu’s new album release.

...

November 1, 7 p.m.

Just one hour until the official release of Wumu’s album.

Tencent Music was already bustling with activity.

People from multiple departments across the platform all worked overtime without compensation until 10 p.m.

"Have the servers been bolstered? Make sure we don’t face any server overload or crashes!"

The Director of Content looked sternly at his subordinate.

"Yes! We expanded the entire server group a few days ago, and just today we added another thirty groups. There definitely won’t be any problems!"

The manager nodded hastily in response.

The director relaxed a bit but still reminded, "Make sure to increase the bandwidth as well, we don’t want any playback issues. Other platforms and media are watching us, and I don’t want news tomorrow saying our servers and bandwidth collapsed under Wumu’s new song."

"Yes! I’ll prepare a few more lines!"

The director of Tencent Platform was fully prepared.

In fact, he was still a bit dumbfounded.

Originally, when he heard that Wumu intended to release a new album with no promotions and no promotional plans, he regretted it immensely.

He felt like a complete sucker, having spent a fortune to secure exclusive rights to a new album that was doomed to fail.

After all, even if you have high hopes for Wumu’s new album, you can’t just blindly think it’s going to sell well without promotions.

Which celebrity could just rely on organic reach to push out a new album?

But... who would have thought that these people online were actually brainless?

Wumu wasn’t promoting at all, and yet those online were doing the promotions for him.

He really couldn’t understand it. Is everyone just that crazy to actually like a previously flopped idol like this?

Wumu himself was even more puzzling to him— it seemed like whatever he did attracted a swarm of attention.

Not only did they gather around him, but this attention could actually convert well into album pre-order numbers.

After several waves of attention, the pre-order numbers for his new album had shockingly reached an astonishing 8.2 million across the platform.

8.2 million!

How many albums on the platform could reach these numbers?

With such terrifying attention, how could the director not be fully prepared?

Time was inching closer to 8 p.m. when the album would officially go on sale.

...

In a small town, Xiao Guo was playing games at home while his new girlfriend cleaned up the house.

"Hey, isn’t this cup sold in Wumu’s own online store? It even has his personal logo on the bottom left. Are you a Wumu fan?" His girlfriend was cleaning and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Wumu?

Xiao Guo thought about the name and shook his head, "No, I just saw it online and bought it casually."

"I see."

His girlfriend didn’t mind; instead, she was impressed, "Well, you got a bargain with that cup. Wumu only released a batch of them, and now they’re being sold online for thousands each."

As she talked, she grabbed a tissue from nearby, wanting to wipe off a bit of dust from the bottom of the cup.

But after wiping a few times, she felt something was off. Staring at the tissue package, which had a slightly familiar silhouette, she paused, "Isn’t this the tissue brand endorsed by Wumu?"

Xiao Guo recalled for a moment and nodded, "Seems like it; I also bought it casually online."

"I see."

His girlfriend nodded, cleaned up the clutter on the table, then opened the drawer, intending to put the small items inside.

But when she pulled out the drawer, she saw a car key lying inside.

His girlfriend fell silent for two seconds, "...Isn’t this the car model endorsed by Wumu?"

Xiao Guo followed her gaze and said, "Oh, I also scrolled to it online, and I just picked it up not long ago."

I see... I see my ghost!

You must be a loyal fan of that person, right!?

So loyal that you even splurge on a car he endorses!

You’re really going too far!

His girlfriend was dumbfounded; she could never have dreamed that her seemingly mature boyfriend was a diehard fanboy!

Being a fan is one thing, but chasing after young male idols!

Having been repeatedly reminded by his girlfriend, Xiao Guo recalled something, "Right, isn’t today the release date of Wumu’s new album?"

"I scrolled to his new album online and listened to a preview track—it sounded pretty good. I’ll go buy one and see."

His girlfriend sighed speechlessly; just stop pretending you came across it online, your whole house is filled with his stuff, that’s not believable at all!

I won’t tease you even if you admit it!

...

In some third-tier city, Didi driver Xiao Zhang was driving his newly picked up Phideon electric car, waiting for the platform to assign a new order.

While waiting for new orders, he incessantly tapped on the radio button on the new car’s main control screen.

Although there was a music app in the car, he preferred listening to the radio, enjoying the sound of people talking on the air.

After some static, the radio program sounded.

"In this noisy world, there’s always a melody that can provide shelter for your heart. Dear listeners, welcome to Mei City Music Voices..."

"The song that’s really worth listening to lately might just be Wumu’s ’I Have Nothing.’"

"This song isn’t embellished with flamboyant rhetoric or complex arrangements, but it possesses a directness that touches the heart. It’s like a lone traveler’s outcry over the vast lands, sharing the confusion and longing about dreams, love, and life..."

Wumu?

Xiao Zhang felt the name was somewhat familiar.

After pondering a bit, he remembered; it seemed to be the spokesperson for the very car he was now driving.

Was that person a singer? He wondered how his songs were.

He became a bit curious.

Because of the car he was sitting in, he had a pretty good impression of this person.

After the radio host’s lines, the song named ’I Have Nothing’ started playing.

"I used to ask incessantly, when will you come with me."

"But you always laughed at me, and having nothing..."

Xiao Zhang slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, his nose tingling slightly.

I Have Nothing, huh.

Approaching thirty, and I still have nothing.

Xiao Zhang’s mind flashed with memories of the girl who once followed him without asking for a dowry but eventually broke up over mundane life issues, his eyes gradually blurring.

As the song ended, he couldn’t help wanting to listen again, wanting to immerse himself in those feelings once more.

But the radio played it only once.

Listening to the radio introduce the song’s source, he pulled out his phone.
