Chapter 329: Chapter 278 Wu starts whitewashing again

Some couldn’t help but suspect that Wu Mu was boosting his own album sales.

After all, everyone knew that his first album after his comeback was very important.

But still, most people felt,

"It’s probably not inflated sales; if Wu thought about doing that, he would have done it long ago."

"Yeah, before his sales and endorsements were also suspected of being self-inflated, but it turned out they were all real purchases. I have to say, although Wu is a bit off in other areas, when it comes to this he definitely doesn’t fake it."

If it wasn’t inflated, then that many people really did buy it?

"Dang, normally everyone talks about how much they hate Wu, but when it comes time to spend money, everyone shows their true colors!"

"These people are seriously messed up; others talk nice but disappear when it’s time to spend money. Yet it’s the total opposite for Wu; usual silence but shows up when it’s time to spend!?"

"I really don’t get Wu’s fans. Normally you don’t see them, they don’t defend their idol, nor do they spend money to chart their idol. It looks like they don’t exist, but when it really comes to spending money, they all pop up."

People who are frequently online can definitely feel that Wu Mu’s fans aren’t very visible.

For other celebrities, there’d definitely be fans defending them under scandals or bad videos.

Seeing any news or videos about a celebrity, you can definitely feel their fans’ presence.

But it’s different with Wu Mu; beneath his scandals and nasty videos, instead of fans, there are just loads of people making jokes and having fun.

Including various popularity charts in the industry, like the Weibo Star Power Chart and Celebrity Heat Chart, other celebrities’ fans push them up to show their idol’s fan power.

Wu Mu, however, you have to scroll way past the top hundred to find him.

Even the celebrity forums that share his name are usually important gathering places for fans, but Wu Mu’s forum... is full of posts trashing him.

Can you imagine fan forums of other celebrities being dominated by haters?

Anyway, from any standpoint, Wu Mu’s fans are really inactive and unseen.

And then this invisible crowd suddenly showed up splurging?

Sisters, do you love him that much? He doesn’t even need to know, and you don’t show off about it.

Just quietly following and silently splashing out the cash!?

Everyone really can’t understand it, though they could always feel, from various activities, that Wu Mu had many fans who’d spend money on him behind the scenes.

But none of those instances were as blatant as this.

With the sales ranking of Wu Mu’s new album, those quiet fans had been blatantly exposed.

Leaving aside those buying hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of copies, which are definitely super fans,

But dragging the ranking down, even past seventy or eighty thousand, shows that orders for two or three copies are still being placed?

It’s clear that these are also bought by Wu Mu’s fans.

After all, aside from fans, which normal person would buy several copies?

Online, everyone was shocked at how many hidden fans Wu Mu had; with how much his reputation had tumbled and the general attitude online towards his fans, there were still that many willing to support him financially.

But Wu knew that these people might not exactly be his fans.

On the Tencent Platform, the album could be purchased and then gifted to someone else.

There might be people who simply like the song and buy a copy for a friend or partner to listen to.

This sort of thing might only be a small portion for other artists, but with Wu Mu’s Profit Card and all his songs being hit tracks, it’s really hard to say.

But surely, some of them must be his true fans buying multiple copies.

After all, no matter how indifferent he is to fans, with his current popularity and handsomeness, there would inevitably be fans who like him.

It’s just that these fans, given the current climate, don’t want to show themselves.

Truthfully, if it’s really no big deal financially, entirely within their means to support a hobby, he actually doesn’t mind, but he’s worried...

Wu shook his head, suddenly remembering to ask Shu Mei next to him, "Did those fans in South Korea buy my album?"

Shu Mei hesitated a moment, "Yes, the one ranked fifth, they organized and bought two hundred thousand copies."

Crowdfunding...

Wu chuckled and sighed. He knew such things were inevitable.

Supporting celebrity charts through fan contributions has become the norm, but the risks are also huge.

The internet is full of instances where people fundraise for a celebrity, only for the money to be embezzled by the managers.

Moreover, even without crowdfunding, with many fans, it’s inevitable some lack rationality and get carried away.

Cutting back on essentials to support is one thing, but there might even be students who steal their parents’ money, or idiots who embezzle company funds.

Wu didn’t want that kind of money at all; taking it would just make him feel sorry and regretful for these people.

Looks like it’s time to speak up for these fans again.

Wu thought to himself; after pondering for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed the music platform director’s number.

He didn’t avoid anyone on the call; Shu Mei listened next to him, her expression growing increasingly astonished.

After Wu finished the call, he took out his phone and began drafting a new Weibo post.

Wu Mu Evolved: "I’ve noticed there are quite a few multiple purchases of the new album. For those of you who can afford it, do as you please, but I just consider it as you satisfying your own hobbies and making yourselves happy; it has nothing to do with me."
