This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Trailer Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Trailer After the third episode was recorded, the production team sped up the editing while also releasing a trailer.

Once again, the primary focus was on Wu Mu.

Wu Feng discovered that Wu Mu was simply too useful; just having Wu Mu’s name attached made the popularity soar.

It’s not that Wu Mu had gotten past the scandal impact and gained fans again.

It’s purely because Wu Mu’s followers were far too complex.

Anti-fans, casual fans, skeptical ones, those with changed impressions, and those simply attracted by the show who thought he had talent…

Basically, all sorts of people were following him.

These people could easily argue over differing opinions, and once the arguments started, the popularity naturally went up.

Plus, Wu Mu’s performances were impressive enough on their own, making them highly topical and easier to promote.

*Anyway, Wu Feng had lost count of how many times he sighed with relief that inviting Wu Mu was indeed the right call. Just Wu Mu alone had saved them countless marketing and trending topic costs.*
The first trailer released by the production team showed Wu Mu chatting with He Jie, revealing that he had to pay over four hundred million in breach of contract penalties.

A top celebrity breach of contract, four hundred million!

Who could see that and not click to check out the commotion?

Anyway, Wu Mu’s anti-fans couldn’t resist and immediately gathered in the comments section to vent.

“Serves him right! Hope this scumbag goes broke paying!”

“Haha, four hundred million, this scumbag definitely can’t pay up, gonna have to sell his car and house.”

“Feeling good now, liking being a scumbag? Four years of hard work in the industry, and the money isn’t even enough to cover the penalty.”

There were also casual fans whose dislike for Wu Mu wasn’t that intense. They were more curious about the specific income of celebrities, wondering how much Wu Mu earned overall in those four years.

There were even some who had a bit of goodwill towards Wu Mu, feeling it was unjust for him.

“I feel like everyone’s aiming their anger in the wrong direction. Isn’t it the patron who’s been disgusting from start to finish?”

“She played the role of Wu Mu’s boss while taking a share of his earnings and deceiving him emotionally. She was the one who leaked the photos and chat records. In the end, Wu Mu’s scandal almost got him banished while she remains unscathed.”

That part even Wu Mu’s anti-fans agreed with. Although they hated Wu Mu for not staying clean, the real culprit was ultimately that vile woman!

Without her, their dear brother wouldn’t have ended up in this mess!

Unfortunately, hatred wasn’t useful; compared to the front-and-center Wu Mu, Liu Lan was a behind-the-scenes boss without even a Weibo account. They had nowhere to direct their anger.

Besides all this, a small group of people were discussing how Wu Mu seemed to have gotten more handsome, unable to resist topics about his looks.

The first trailer sparked quite a bit of debate.

The production team released a second trailer.

This one showed Wu Mu talking about the penalty, with Mo Mo offering to lend him money, and Wu Mu then suggesting he’d write songs for Mo Mo.

Mo Mo’s fans were disgusted.

“Isn’t Wu deliberately trying to play victim here just to get our Little Mo to lend him money?”

“Oh no, is this scumbag targeting our Little Mo now, planning to latch onto another patron right after the last one?”

“I didn’t care if he was a real scumbag or not, but trying to trick Little Mo is unacceptable!”

“Little Mo, don’t be fooled by this scumbag! He’s nothing but pure trash!”

“This Sima Dongxi, just because he came out with a good song, he thinks he’s got the chops? Writing songs for Little Mo, does he even qualify?”

Mo Mo’s fans weren’t the only ones expressing disgust; someone finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up.

“Why do I feel like it wasn’t Wu trying to play victim and borrow money? Didn’t it look like Mo Mo volunteered?”

“Mo Mo seemed to treat Wu a bit differently, right? Even willing to lend one or two million?”

“Why does it feel like the two of them are kind of sparking?”

In the last episode, everyone had this feeling, but at the time, it was too speculative for anyone to bring up.

But now, with over a million in loans being possible, it certainly seemed like they had a decent relationship.

However, those who brought up this topic were quickly criticized. Mo Mo and Wu Mu having chemistry!? How could Mo Mo’s fans allow Mo Mo to be linked with Wu Mu, an artist with a tarnished reputation!

Wu Mu was a scandal-ridden scumbag; even if he was really tricked, it was true that he was kept by a patron for his debut, true that he was a bootlicker for another woman.

In their eyes, no one was worthy of their angelic Little Mo.

Even if he were to look for a partner, it should be someone whose family, character, and personal life were all clean!

Could Wu Mu, who had been stood up by a patron, this bootlicker for another woman, be a match for Little Mo?

Just the thought was disgusting!

Mo Mo’s fans told those making wild comments to get lost, accusing them of being dirty-minded and twisting Little Mo’s benevolence.

Because of the staunch resistance from Mo Mo’s fans and the general belief that nothing serious was going on between Wu Mu and Mo Mo, this theory didn’t garner much attention.

Public focus remained on whether Wu Mu purposefully played the victim to have Mo Mo lend him money, and whether he was being arrogant, daring to write songs for Mo Mo after just one good performance.

The second trailer garnered even more attention, even landing on trending topics.

Then there was the third trailer.

It featured Mo Mo agreeing to let Wu Mu handle two songs for the next round, then cut directly to the stage.

On stage, Wu Mu slowly lowered the microphone, bowing to the audience below to signal he had finished singing.

The audience remained silent, just sitting in that silence…

A forty-second video where, apart from the early shot of Mo Mo, it was entirely the silent audience’s direct capture!

This trailer quickly climbed the real-time trending list.

Everyone saw what the production team intended with the trailer; it was clearly suggesting that Wu Mu’s new performance had rendered the audience silent for a whole half-minute!

Was this for real?

Did Wu Mu explode again?

Wasn’t he just a traffic singer, did he really have that kind of talent?

Although Wu Mu’s last episode’s performance was amazing, nobody genuinely believed he was a seasoned artist.

After all, he had debuted four years ago with various live performances in hundreds, his level had long been scrutinized to the core.

He had the standard flow level, showing sincerity when singing, but often having car crash moments as well.

The super performance of the last episode, most believed, was because he found the right song, full of emotion, and resonated deeply, producing such an effect.

Now the production crew was telling them that Wu Mu’s performance was still divine?

Once might be a coincidence, but twice indicated true talent.

Did Wu Mu truly have that kind of skill?

Discussions about Wu Mu’s actual talent began on major platforms, with people debating whether the trailer released by the singer-songwriter show was genuine.

Could Wu Mu deliver another super performance?

The popularity of the show skyrocketed, and the audience’s expectations were again heightened.

Producer Wu Feng was grinning so wide his mouth could barely contain it, already imagining the lively viewership scene for tomorrow’s episode.

Wu Mu, this traffic hotspot, single-handedly took their show to new heights.

Although their show was already one of the strongest in the country, they never dared say they dominated their timeslot.

Other TV stations still had a few programs that could compete with them.

But the new season of the singer-songwriter showcase? Now that was starting to feel dominating.

Ratings outpaced the others by a significant margin.

Viewership numbers were astonishing on online platforms.

Advertising on Star City’s station was much easier to negotiate recently due to the hot show’s sensation.

Wu Feng elevated Wu Mu’s importance once again in his mind, thinking that perhaps after the singer-songwriter show ended, they could continue collaborating on other projects.

But while he was contemplating this, the station manager called him.

“What? Ban Wu Mu?”

He was stunned, even questioning if he heard it wrong.

After being dazed for a while, he quickly asked, “Was it an official notice to ban him?”

“No? Star Electronics is pressuring us?”

Wu Feng was even more bewildered, an electronics company pressuring a TV station to ban a celebrity?

This sounded absurd no matter how he thought about it.

But… when Wu Feng contemplated Star Electronics’ background and power, he nodded slowly, “Okay, I will communicate with Wu Mu about this.”

Star Electronics is the leader in the home appliance, mobile phone, and electronic component fields in China, and besides its business strength, its official connections behind are even more influential for their station.

Not much to say, if you know Star Electronics transitioned from state to private, you’d understand, it’s very hush-hush.

Star City TV Station truly couldn’t afford to provoke such a company; even if they could handle it, they wouldn’t lose their minds to risk it all for one celebrity.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Feng couldn’t help but sigh. *What kind of nonsense was this?* Ban him after the show finished airing at least, and now they pull this stunt.

Wu Feng couldn’t sit still; he immediately headed for the production team’s resort.

Knocking on Wu Mu’s door, upon seeing Wu Mu, he straightforwardly asked, “How did you offend Star Electronics?”

Star Electronics?

What was that?

Wu Mu looked at him quizzically while playing a game on his phone.
