This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 415 - 320_2

But no one really expected that Wu Mu could actually be liked abroad.

Although domestically, everyone generally looks down on the Koreans, but to be honest, in the global context, Korean entertainment culture indeed has a greater influence than that of Hua Country.

Not only are K-pop celebrities more popular and have more fans, but even their entertainment programs are more well-known than domestic ones.

There are even quite a few domestic shows that are directly based on purchased Korean program copyrights.

So, in the minds of industry insiders, the market in South Korea is undoubtedly considered quite high-end.

As a result, one show by Wu Mu caused such a huge reaction and had such an immediate effect?

What on earth did he film?

Everyone was undoubtedly curious after hearing Shu Mei’s words.

Originally, those who hadn’t planned on watching Wu Mu’s show were now considering finding the show later to check it out.

Wu Mu’s show continued to ferment.

Especially after the show was translated by a subtitle group and domestic audience could actually watch it, it immediately hit the hot searches on major platforms.

Without even mentioning the audience’s exclamations, the effect on domestic data was that Wu Mu’s very difficult-to-grow Weibo followers surged again.

Maybe because showing off abroad is quite satisfying, or perhaps having fans in South Korea is very impressive.

Anyway, his Weibo followers rose by six hundred thousand again in one go, now reaching 6.4 million.

Hmm, still seems a bit few.

But there’s no helping it, among the active user group on Weibo, a trend has already formed; if you follow Wu Mu, it’s essentially declaring you’re a Wu Mu fan.

As soon as you make any comments, others will check your profile, and you can’t use the excuse of following out of curiosity.

And the title of Wu Mu’s fans... evidently carries quite a heavy weight.

Besides the fan data, there’s also feedback from the company Shi Wu’s side.

Recently, the prices for projects coming to him have gone up a notch, generally adding two to three million.

His standard endorsement fee has now reached 37 million for two years, already considered high even among top-tier celebrities.

This makes sense though, even though Wu Mu’s South Korean fans don’t seem to have increased by much – just tens of thousands – it’s still relatively few compared to domestic fans.

But still, it’s quite impressive!

For celebrities, besides actual popularity, impressiveness also matters.

If you have popularity and fans overseas, those who are genuine and visible, not just the result of marketing, you can definitely charge higher prices than others.

Domestic producers still generally hold a mindset that everything foreign is better.

While the industry is raising Wu Mu’s prices, they feel a bit strange inside.

Could Wu Mu really have a chance to become an Asian superstar?

Even though many in the industry tout that so-and-so is also popular abroad, insiders generally understand that most of it is the result of self-marketing.

It’s mostly domestic fans and a small number of foreign fans boosting the numbers.

They don’t actually attract the mainstream attention overseas.

But Wu Mu, with just one show, caused such a sensation, what if there are more shows?

...

Wu Mu was naturally pleased about his rising net worth.

But for having more fans, he didn’t care at all.

Real fans don’t really have much of an impact on him.

Not only is the money earned incomparable to what his performance card brings, the key issue is that it brings trouble.

For example...

Wu Mu had no work today and had something to discuss with Shu Mei and the others.

Then, when he found Shu Mei, he noticed she was still continuously monitoring the dynamics of his South Korean fans.

And the dynamics of those South Korean fans...

Wu Mu glanced at Shu Mei’s phone screen and instantly felt speechless. "Are they discussing and suggesting that I should immigrate to South Korea?"

Shu Mei, fully focused on her phone, didn’t even notice him coming over and was startled, "Boss!"

After being startled, her face looked a bit strange too, "Mm, it started from a discussion on DC Inside, then gradually spread to group chats in their fanbase."

This show truly boosted Wu Mu’s popularity significantly in South Korea.

Many viewers who watched the show were drawn to search and learn more about Wu Mu.

Then during their searches, they saw introductions by prior South Korean fans about how Wu Mu was chased and scolded by other viewers in Hua Country...

These newly attracted fans were tearful for their new oppa and someone came up with an idea.

Since Wu Mu’s situation is bad domestically, why not have him immigrate to South Korea, and wouldn’t the problem be solved immediately!

If Hua Country’s audience doesn’t care about Wu Mu, they do!

Then this suggestion appeared on the community forum.

Immigrate?

Immigrate to South Korea?

Wu Mu was speechless, that’s impossible.

Although he had no prejudices against individuals, he had his likes and dislikes regarding broad concepts and governing systems.

The only thing that fans can do is if you want to make money off of them, you have to cater to their preferences.

Otherwise, if you secretly dislike the idea but want to make money, pretending to approach and cater to them will backfire eventually.

There’s nothing better than being responsible only to the system points.

Shu Mei was also helpless, "It’s still because the ecosystem you’re in domestically is too strange, it’s very easy for outsiders to misunderstand."

Fans remain silent, and then there are many anti-fans, even more than the actual fans, making passersby prefer making sarcastic remarks.

An outsider looking at this will be completely confused.

"Now you have quite a lot of South Korean fans, and only the South Korean fans suggest this. In the future, when the number of fans from other places grows, they might also want you to immigrate to their countries."

Then fans from different countries might fight over the rights to their oppa’s nationality, leaving the domestic fans feeling unspeakably wronged?

Shu Mei thought for a moment, thinking this scenario might be quite interesting.

Wu Mu didn’t care about fans, and after feeling speechless for a moment, he didn’t take it to heart at all.

He asked about serious matters directly.

"When will Wang Ren’s series be broadcast?"

Shu Mei, who managed all operations and was practically a small manager, knew about everything, "It’s still under review, but Yang Rongfa had someone inquire, and it should be down soon, no issues. If the progress is quick, it will be broadcast around New Year’s."

That’s pretty good progress.

Wu Mu nodded, discussing serious matters directly, "They shouldn’t have any recent arrangements, right? Have Brother Wu ask them if they would take a new project, I have a script in hand that I want them to film."

Wu Mu was naturally talking about the script "Steel Piano" which he got earlier; as soon as he got it, he thought it perfectly matched Wang Ren’s style.

Though it’s a comedy, at its core it’s a story about the layoff of workers in the nineties, a tale of the small figures in the changing times.

This is undoubtedly Wang Ren’s home ground, as he’s proficient in this film style.

Actually, for another script "Love Letter" in hand, he also had an ideal person... Lin Qingyue.

This kind of beautifully romantic filming style with reserved emotional expression matches Lin Qingyue’s usual directing style perfectly.

But Lin Qingyue clearly was unavailable before, since she was already preparing for the current film, and next year she might be busy with the new season of Star Agency.

Wu Mu planned to ask her after finishing the current movie.

The boss wants to film a script?

Shu Mei was undeniably stunned for a moment, and then shocked.

No way, the boss tasted the sweetness of investing in series before and wants to make money again!

No, please!

Although "Disappeared" earned quite a lot before, such successes are rare exceptions in the film and television industry!

Among hundreds or thousands of projects launched yearly, only a very small portion are truly profitable, the majority barely break even or suffer significant losses!

And
