Chapter 164 Who Cares About This? Is there anything that can better prove that Xiao Yi's popularity crushes Wu Mu's than this naked contrast? Xiao Yi's team took the photos back and started marketing immediately. That evening, Xiao Yi's airport pick-up became a hot topic on Weibo. The first five posts were all about celebrating Xiao Yi's birthday and showing how grand the birthday was. It ranked number one in the world trends, fans bought a big screen in Times Square to celebrate his birthday, and there were thousands of fans picking him up at the airport. Then Article 6 and Article 7: #One picture reveals the true face of the recently popular top idol Wu Mu# #Wu Mu is an 18th-tier unknown celebrity, don't get involved# Of course, it happened at the airport in the morning. It was directly pushed to the hot search by Xiao Yi's fans. Xiao Yi's fans all felt quite proud, as they finally got revenge for the anger they had suffered some time ago. They all mocked Wu Mu for being an 18th-tier unknown celebrity, and said that his previous popularity was all due to marketing. In fact, he had no popularity at all. It was all due to the financial backers behind him who hired internet trolls to boost his popularity. In order to maintain popularity, they probably use bundling marketing with their brother, etc. The picture that Xiao Yi's team took at a specially chosen angle was spread everywhere by them.
I have to say that the composition is still of very high standard. In the picture, Wu Mu and Xiao Yi are both in the frame. Wu Mu is in the corner of the photo, with six or seven people alone around him. Xiao Yi was in the center of the crowd, shining brightly, and the fans who came to pick him up at the airport felt as if there was no end to him. The contrast is very strong, and at first glance it really looks like the comparison between an 18th-tier unknown star and a top-tier idol. Not only on Weibo, they also released marketing materials on other platforms, striving to leave everyone with the impression that Wu Xiamu was crushed by their brother. But the effect seems to be not right? Passersby left messages below the comment section. "Scold Wu Gou, support! By the way, does anyone have any latest news about Wu Gou's game?" "Yes, Wu Gou is just an 18th-tier unknown actor, and he has only been doing marketing all along! I also want to see what happens with Wu Mu Games, please let a big shot know some information!" "Wu Gou is such a disgusting guy, he's using his young idol for marketing! I don't have any news, but I heard that Wu Gou's game was a big hit at the Paris Game Show." "Being overwhelmed by Xiao Yi's popularity, a bad artist like Wu Gou should quit the entertainment industry! I guess we have to wait until Wu Gou's show is broadcast to see the whole thing. Sigh, I am getting a little impatient waiting." No, are you guys Wu Mu’s haters or fans? It seemed like he was cursing in the beginning, but why is he still looking forward to Noon Dog’s show in the end? How can everyone not be looking forward to it? After Wu Mu posted a Weibo about crowdfunding for a new game, everyone mocked him, thinking that Wu Mu had become so arrogant that he no longer recognized who he was. But who would have thought that while they were still mocking, they saw the amount on the Wumu crowdfunding page getting higher and higher. At first everyone thought that it was Wu Mu's fans who boosted sales again. His fans are really so stupid that they would even pay for a game they don't even play. But after discovering that most of the sponsors below had English names, everyone immediately realized something was wrong. It’s okay that Wu Mu has fans in China, but can he also have fans abroad? Then there was news from Station B that a UP host in the gaming area met Wu Mu at the Paris Game Show. Wu Mu was recording a show at the Paris Game Show, and his game really caused a heated discussion at the show. Those foreigners were rushing to give him money. Who wouldn't be confused after hearing such explosive news?
Who wouldn’t want to see what’s going on? What's the point of caring about whether to pick someone up at the airport or not? For someone like Wu Gou who publicly said on Weibo that he doesn't want fans, it's not surprising that no one went to pick him up at the airport. It would even be strange if someone did! As for saying that Wu Gou is an 18th-tier unknown star and that it's all marketing, that's a pure insult to people's intelligence. Don't these people know whether Wu Gou is popular or not? Everyone just watched for fun and made some daily ridicules. Who would really take Xiao Yi and his friends' negative articles seriously? When the Internet was in turmoil, Wu Mu was naturally not affected at all. He was called out to eat by Lin Qingyue. Lin Qingyue suddenly called him and asked him to go out for dinner. When Wu Mu saw Lin Qingyue at a high-end restaurant not far from home, he was quite curious, "Director Lin, shouldn't you be editing the film right now?" The show will be aired in a few days. Logically, this should be Lin Qingyue's busiest time. How come she still has time to invite me to dinner? Lin Qingyue looked at him and said with a smile: "Let me introduce someone to you." Introduce someone to yourself? Like Zhou Min and the others before, is he Director Lin’s childhood friend? Wu Mu was a little confused, "Who is it?" He felt that Lin Qingyue's behavior did not seem like she was introducing a personal friend, but rather a bit formal. "You'll know soon." Lin Qingyue kept it a secret. Then they went in and ordered food, and after waiting for a while, the person Lin Qingyue mentioned arrived. He was indeed not a personal friend, but a middle-aged man, probably in his forties or fifties, who looked a bit old-fashioned and silent. Wu Mu vaguely felt that he looked familiar. Lin Qingyue introduced him, "This is Director Wang Ren." Wu Mu now knew who this person was. He was a well-known director in the circle. They had also watched this director's works when they had a dinner at his house before. However, because it was a vague art film, he was not very interested in it, so he didn't have any impression of it. It was not surprising that Lin Qingyue knew Wang Renwumu, after all, his father was one of the top directors in the industry. But why did she think of introducing Wang Ren to herself? Wu Mu gave Lin Qingyue a slightly puzzled look. Lin Qingyue's eyebrows were slightly curved. Director Wang Renwang seems to be the taciturn type. From the moment he entered the room, he just nodded and didn't say a word. It was not until Lin Qingyue had introduced them to each other that she finally spoke. Her voice was a little slow, but her content was very direct. "I'm planning to shoot a TV series recently and I'm in need of a TV composer. Qingyue introduced you to me." It turns out that he was introducing the job to himself. Wu Mu suddenly realized. Normally, he should have agreed directly. After all, it would be beneficial for him to work with a well-known director like Wang Ren, and Lin Qingyue obviously gave him the opportunity to introduce him. But it's a loss-making thing for him to write songs for others. This loss is not a loss of money, but a loss of points. To draw a suitable song, he needs at least 100 points. If he is unlucky, it may cost several hundred points.
But he definitely can't earn back the points just by writing songs. Although composing music is also a performing arts job, the system will give points. If he wrote it bit by bit himself, he might not lose money, but his songs are purely based on system draws, and if he takes them out all at once, he will definitely not make back his investment.
