This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 397 - 312: What a Fairy-like Program_2
Chapter 397: Chapter 312: What a Fairy-like Program_2
Don’t even talk about escaping, just being able to last a day, or even a morning, would already be considered impressive.
But Wu Mu is an exception. Not only did he actually escape, he also played the police like a fiddle.
Regarding this, Wu Mu shrugged, "I came to record the show, and the rules didn’t say only the police could win. I can’t be expected to lose on purpose, right?"
After the recording, there was a crew celebration event.
But Wu Mu’s movie isn’t finished yet, so he came to record the show today because Lin Qingyue coordinated the schedule for him.
There were still scenes to shoot tomorrow, so he didn’t go and headed straight to the airport instead.
....
Busan, at an eel restaurant near the crew’s hotel.
The "Super Challenges" crew booked the entire place for a party.
Although Wu Mu wasn’t there, the topic of conversation among the crew members was clearly focused on him, the undeniable star of the day.
The show’s guests sat together, eating and chatting.
"Zhengxu, was Wu Mu really that amazing? Was he like this in Hua Country too?" An Minghao couldn’t help but ask, still a bit shaken from today’s show.
Li Taihuan, who had been loudly planning to teach Wu Mu a lesson in their chat group before the show, now looked somewhat embarrassed, "He does seem to be a bit tough to deal with."
Li Zhengxun sighed, "I didn’t watch his previous shows much, but when I joined that variety show in Hua Country, he really knew how to make the show entertaining."
"This isn’t just knowing how to make a show entertaining! If all Hua Country celebrities were like him, we’d have nothing to eat!"
An Minghao started counting on his fingers, "Look at how many highlights he had today: back to the hotel at the start, then to the comic-con, swapping things at the comic-con, speaking Korean, catching the police, using the photos on the police’s phone as a warning, the surveillance software, his own game, tipping off the police with a walkie-talkie..."
The show members had immediately asked the crew for a recap of today’s events, so they already knew what Wu Mu had done.
The more An Minghao counted, the more nervous he became, "He had so much screen time, all of it too good to cut, if we add his daily and groundwork shots, wouldn’t he hog the entire episode’s screen time!?"
There are seven guests; wouldn’t they all just become his background!?
Previously, there had been complaints that Jin Huiyan had no screen time when partnered with him, but after today... just by sticking around him, she might have more screen time than all of them combined.
"This is so exaggerated, a multi-person show turning into a one-man show."
An Minghao prided himself on being quite adept at filming variety shows, often sensing which scenes the audience would like during recording.
But comparing himself to Wu Mu... it seemed he wasn’t that skilled after all.
Shen Zaixian was looking at his phone, "I searched, and online in Hua Country, they’re all saying he’s great at variety shows. No matter what show he’s on, it’s always entertaining. Their reports praise him, saying his variety show skills are even better than his singing."
Even though they had checked Wu Mu’s information before, it was only brief glimpses of second-hand news reposted on South Korean sites, and they hadn’t delved deeply into his shows. They had only seen an overview of his past.
But after today... Shen Zaixian couldn’t help but go directly to the Simplified Chinese internet and use translation software to see about Wu Mu himself.
He really wanted to know what status Wu Mu held in his own country after today’s performance.
Surely not all Hua Country has monsters like him.
If more people like him came to South Korea, he might fear he’d have nothing to eat.
The guests who knew even less about Wu Mu were curious, "His variety show skills are better than his singing? Is he a good singer? How good?"
Shen Zaixian didn’t say anything, he directly played a live music video he had just searched for.
"Is this the real life? Is this just...."
The guest listened to the live performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the phone, and after two seconds of silence, said, "Then his variety show skills are indeed pretty amazing."
If he’s praised for having better variety show skills than such a singing performance... even without having seen his past variety shows, the concept is immediately clear.
There’s an old saying about a mighty dragon not trampling a local snake, but today... Wu Mu, this mighty dragon, completely crushed them, these local snakes!
Shen Zaixian reminded Li Zhengxun, "Zhengxun, you better be prepared. Once his show airs, he’s definitely going to gain a lot of fans in our country."
Like the director, with such exaggerated results, they could already imagine the show’s popularity after airing.
If it was just about great showmanship, like theirs or Shen Zaixian’s, it would simply make people curious to know him and they’d forget about him in a few days.
But if Wu Mu’s looks... they could already imagine the scenes of him fanatically gaining fans.
His show’s allure ranks much higher than professional variety stars, his looks are way above super idols, and he even sings so well...
Damn, it’s getting a bit envious.
Everyone fell a bit silent, especially Li Zhengxun, who felt a surge of frustration.
Previously, any issues with Wu Mu were abroad and didn’t affect his domestic base.
But if Wu Mu started gaining fans in South Korea... he already imagined the daily fan wars.
Damn it, I just cursed you once, didn’t do anything too harsh, why must you cause such trouble!?
He felt nauseated.
The atmosphere turned a bit heavy until Song Zhengguo spoke up in surprise.
"Eh, when I searched his South Korean fans, they seem to be saying he’s been severely mistreated and cyberbullied by Hua Country’s audiences?"
Song Zhengguo had also been looking up Wu Mu’s background, developing quite a favorable impression of this Hua Country star who had tipped him off and helped him avoid capture.
However, he had searched within South Korea to see what Wu Mu’s status was there.
Hearing this, the guests were all taken aback.
An Minghao first shook his head in disbelief, "Zhengguo, what nonsense are you talking about? With that performance and those looks, surely Hua Country is full of his fans, massive cyberbullying? How could that be possible."
They were all celebrities, they knew the power of such a combination of looks, personality, and talent.
They had been completely stunned today, Hua Country audiences couldn’t possibly have different taste, could they? Eating so well yet still dissatisfied?
Shen Zaixian also shook his head, "Probably just his domestic fans exaggerating things, the whole idol-fan torturing cliché."
But at that moment, a voice chimed in:
"It’s not exaggeration; Wu Mu’s indeed been persistently cyberbullied by those Hua Country audiences. In Hua Country, more people hate him, resent him, and treat him unfairly than those who like him."
Everyone turned to the source of the voice... Jin Huiyan.
Jin Huiyan spoke while showing her phone.
The guests all looked at her.
Shen Zaixian was silent for a moment, "Wu Mu... brother?"
Jin Huiyan looked a bit guilty, "Um, I think Wu Mu... is actually a good person. You’ll know if you get to know him better."
Li Zhengxun looked up at the sky.
No need to wait for the show to air, his teammate had already switched sides.
...
Wu Mu flew back to shoot his movie, but there were still many matters in South Korea.
The show crew, and Yameng Company in South Korea that had Wu Mu as their spokesperson, were all urgently adjusting according to this episode of Wu Mu.
Although many things had been arranged, they hadn’t anticipated such a performance from Wu Mu.
So those previous arrangements now seemed inadequate.
For example, Yameng Company in South Korea...
