Chapter 2 Goodbye, Dead Scum The performance card turned into stars and disappeared. Wu Mu held his phone and scrolled through it for a while, but didn't notice any changes. He simply left his phone behind and started cleaning up the crime scene at home. My predecessor was a really ruthless person. He died by cutting his wrists. The bathroom was filled with half-solidified dark red liquid. Beijing, an apartment Fan Zhang Li felt uncomfortable when she saw the walls covered with Wu Mu's posters. When she was in a rage, she wished she could see him every day when she opened her eyes. Now that she is in a rage, she feels nauseous if she looks at this face a few more times. There is also the frustration and anger of having all your kindness go to waste. She became a fan of Wu Mu when she was preparing for her postgraduate entrance examination in college. She was under a lot of pressure at that time and accidentally saw a variety show filmed by Wu Mu on her friend’s mobile phone. At first glance, I thought this star was quite handsome and had a very innocent smile. After watching that episode of the variety show with my friend, I was instantly attracted to him. I felt that this boy who always had a smile on his face was so sunny, and the atmosphere was always more relaxed when he was in the picture.
After becoming a fan, she specially looked up the programs that Wu Mu had filmed before and watched them. Then she felt excited as if she had discovered a treasure boy. Because she found that this boy was not the kind of fool who knew nothing. On the contrary, he had a special sense of clarity and had his own personal understanding of hardship and life. Be worldly-wise but not worldly, see thousands of things, and keep your heart toward the sunshine. What a divine idol. She has become a die-hard fan of Wu Mu since then, and the longer she gets to know him, the more she feels that this man is full of good qualities. He is friendly and easy-going. He never puts on airs when communicating with fans and is always talkative and easy-going like a friend. He is sincere and frank. He never pretends to get what he wants, but strives hard to get it. "What a bullshit sincerity and sunshine! Damn scum, it's all an act!" Zhang Li became angrier and angrier as she looked at it, so she went up and tore down all the posters on the wall. "With such great acting skills, how come the movie he made is so utterly awful!" After she tore the poster, she was still not satisfied, so she took out her phone and went to Wu Mu's Weibo to criticize him for a long time. She also un-liked all the Wu Mu albums she had bought on the music platform and changed the ratings to one star. When everything was done, she took a photo of the trash can filled with posters and celebrity materials, and a screenshot of the album "Farewell" with one star, and sent them to the Wu Mu fan group she joined. "Goodbye, you scumbag!" After cleaning up all traces related to Wu Mu, Zhang Li put the matter behind her. Then the next day, she opened the Weibo hot list as usual, intending to check out today's news. The news at the forefront is still about Wu Mu’s collapse, and several endorsements companies have come out to terminate their contracts with Wu Mu and demanded compensation. She felt very relieved when she saw it. The seventh trending search was, "#Goodbye, dead scum# She was stunned for a moment, then clicked on it and found that all the posts were cheering items that had been thrown into the trash or burned, along with screenshots of the one-star rating for "Farewell". Fans who have stopped following Wu Mu are using this method to express their boycott of Wu Mu. "Is this a trend that I started myself?" She was surprised, then felt more relieved.
"Yes, that's right. Is this kind of scum worthy of being an idol?" Keep brushing. The tenth hot search: #Wu Mu's digital album "Farewell" sold over two million copies# "what?" Zhang Li's cerebellum shrank slightly. Didn’t this crappy album only sell a few million copies before? She clicked on it subconsciously. Zhang Li: “.” ".No, you guys are crazy!? It's fine for people like me who have bought it to change the review to one star, but you who haven't bought it specially bought it again and gave a bad review???" Not only did she not understand this, but the other comments under the trending search were even more confused. "You are crazy, why are you still buying this guy's album after you stop being his fans? He sold over a million copies even though his house collapsed?" "The fan girls' brain circuits are really abnormal, is this a farewell or a confession? 12 yuan per copy, one million is million, isn't it just giving money away?" "It's so funny, they're still adding more. Swipe to add tens of thousands, swipe to add tens of thousands." "Fuck, I knew Wu Mu had a lot of fans, but I didn't expect he had so many. He could have a million fans. They should all be buying one ticket now. No one should buy it repeatedly, right?" "Isn't it said that all the followers of celebrities are zombie fans? A living person who paid one million? That's too much." "That's not right. How could there be so many living people? Did they inflate the sales?" "Who would be crazy enough to inflate sales when the house has collapsed? I guess it's just a trend, and people who don't usually help with charting and sales are following suit." "Tsk tsk, it's so cool to cheat." Wu Mu looked at the rapidly growing album sales on the screen and smiled brightly. The power of the system is truly amazing. It can guide and market a farewell event silently. Under normal circumstances, even if he worked hard to promote his product, he would never be able to mobilize so many people to spend money on it. But once this trend becomes popular, many people who did not spend money before will also follow suit and make impulse purchases. "But there seems to be a limit. The rate of increase this time is obviously not as fast as last night." Wu Mu estimated that just relying on this hot event, the sales volume would increase to three million at most. But he had only used less than a quarter of the credit limit on his performance card. To realize the full 100 million in sales, he would have to sell at least million cards. Adding the original sales of one million, the total sales will be more than million. “Will it lead to other hot spots that continue to sell out, or will it just increase little by little over the long term?” Wu Mu discovered a hidden mechanism that the system didn't seem to explain. There seems to be no indication of the time when the bonus on the performance card will take effect. Taking it to the extreme, it is possible that all the performance cards will be redeemed on the day he dies. "It shouldn't take that long, but I have to be careful about the items I use next time."
The difference in prop items will obviously greatly affect the time of redemption. Movies, which are worth dozens of dollars a piece and have more passers-by, are definitely easier to make money than songs. If you choose a movie, it is estimated that a box office of 100 million yuan can be realized in just a few days. Wu Mu had thought about this before, but he didn't include it in the movie because he didn't have any movies to be released, and secondly, even if a movie was released, he wouldn't invest in it. The performance card directly records the project performance, not his personal income. If he chooses a movie that he has not invested in, he is just giving money to others. He considered this before choosing songs and selecting the album "Farewell". This album was made by himself in the early days of his debut. It is more of a commemorative nature. No company or other composer participates in the profit sharing. Only 30% goes to the music platform. With a sales volume of 100 million, I can get 70 million. "Not bad, after all, it's just the beginning. I'm sure I'll be able to draw this kind of performance card again in the future." Wu Mu is quite optimistic. "Now the main thing is to find a way to earn points." He had researched it and found that apart from the gift pack for beginners, the way to get rewards from the system was to draw lots using points. You can draw once with 100 points. The source of points is performing arts activities. Whether he is filming a movie or TV series, or singing at a concert, when he is doing any performing arts work, the system will increase points based on his contribution to the shots in this matter. "You have to find yourself a job!" (End of this chapter)
