Chapter 464: New Year's Festival
Chapter 464: New Year's Festival
Seeing Wu Mu's actions, the audience fell silent for a moment.
It’s time to reveal the mask. This must be Noon Dog!
Most people have already confirmed who the person under the mask is, but some people who didn't know Wu Mu before don't know.
After all, it is a gala program. Even if it is the New Year's Festival on Bilibili, there are still some people of other age groups watching it.
For example, Zhao Dongdong's parents were looking at the TV screen curiously, "Is he going to be unveiled? What does he look like?"
"I think he should be quite handsome, with a good overall temperament."
Zhao Dongdong muttered silently beside him, that's more than just handsome
Although she had always been a fan of Wu Mu, objectively speaking, she had to admit that this guy's appearance was somewhat outstanding.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Wu Mu grasped the edge of the mask and lifted it up gently.
Then, just like before, the mask disappeared in an instant, revealing his conspicuous face.
The entire stage seemed to become brighter in an instant as he took off his mask.
Well, part of the reason was that the lighting technician was mean and secretly turned up the brightness of the lights.
Then, in the center of the bright stage, Wu Mu smiled and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I am Wu Mu."
Zhao Dongdong's parents were obviously stunned.
this.
This... seems a bit too handsome, right?
In the Internet age, we have seen all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women. Even if you search online for the most handsome man in the world, you won’t have much reaction after seeing their photos. It seems like that’s just the way it is.
But the person on the screen actually gave them an extremely amazing and brightened feeling at that moment?
Countless audiences who saw Wu Mu for the first time were a little shocked.
Zhao Dongdong's parents were shocked.
They suddenly understood, "I used to hear people say online that young people are crazy about chasing stars, but I didn't understand it, so it's no wonder they are crazy about chasing stars."
Is this what today's young stars are like?
Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this!
Zhao Dongdong was speechless, not all stars have a noon dog like this, this guy is the only one in the circle.
She was also staring at the TV screen, unable to move her eyes away.
In the past, when she saw Wu Mu, even though he was handsome, she would still be attracted to him. But at the same time, she always had a strong resistance to him, thinking that even though this man was handsome, his character was still disgusting.
But looking at him again now, she suddenly found that this man was really pleasing to the eye!
She found that after staring for too long, especially when her eyes met the person on the screen, her heartbeat actually started to speed up. Oh no, she seemed to have fallen into a trap.
The barrage had already exploded.
"It's really the noon dog!"
"I knew it was him! I was just hanging out at a KTV with my friends. I was tired so I watched the New Year's Festival and then I saw some singing. My friends who were still playing heard the sound and all looked towards me, asking me why I was listening to Wu Gou's songs, whether Wu Gou had released new songs, etc. I knew it was him right away!"
"Wu Gou is a good-looking guy who is really good at committing crimes! He often does this kind of masked and unmasked operation to attract everyone's attention. But I found that I am really disappointing and really fell for it. When I saw this guy unmasked, my heart beat faster."
"Oh no, I forgot to turn off the TV! I was just thinking that I'm not a hater, I'm just a fun person, so I don't have to quit. But I forgot that a lot of my nephews and nieces were watching. Now they are all pestering me to ask who Wu Gou is. There's even a one-year-old who wants me to keep showing Wu Gou's face! If I show it, they laugh, if I don't, they cry!"
Everyone was shocked. Although they were already 80% to 90% certain that it was Wu Mu, the situation was still different when they finally revealed that it was him.
And after confirming that it was him, problems immediately arose.
"When did he learn martial arts and magic???"
"The song is as good as ever. Listening to it reminds me of my ex-girlfriend and my nose is sore. But I still want to ask, martial arts and magic??"
"This isn't right! This isn't right!"
The comments were very chaotic, with all kinds of things being said. Some were talking about Wu Mu's appearance when he unveiled his face, some were talking about Wu Mu's recent song, and some were talking about his previous martial arts and magic.
But no matter what, Wu Mu has broken the circle again this time.
The New Year's Eve Gala is different from other programs. Most of the other programs are watched by one person, but a considerable part of the audience of the New Year's Eve Gala is a large group of people gathered in front of computers and TVs to watch and play at the same time. The number of audiences reached is much larger than what is displayed.
This can be seen from the number of people online in the background that Yang Sheng has been keeping an eye on.
"How many people are there now!?" Ever since Wu Mu took off his mask, he has been staring at the number of people online nervously.
"Fifteen million, one hundred thousand! And it's still rising rapidly!" the assistant director shouted excitedly.
"Fifteen million and three hundred thousand, fifteen million and six hundred thousand, eighteen million!??"
The assistant director reported the news every once in a while. He was excited at first, then ecstatic, and finally shocked, confused, stunned, and unbelievable.
Eighteen million? ?
Take less?
Even if I had guessed that Wu Mu's part would be explosive, I wouldn't have added so much, right? ?
Are the statistics wrong?
The assistant director was so frightened by the high number that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Saint Yang was also dumbfounded.
In previous years, they only had about 8 million people visiting the New Year's Festival, but Wu Mu alone gave them an additional 10 million? ?
This is a bit illogical. Even if it could increase the popularity, there is no reason why it could increase to this extent.
Fortunately, they immediately found out the reason, and it was not a statistical error.
"The backend location shows that many new users overlap with many previous users. This is probably because many people watched the New Year Festival program on their friends' phones, but thought their phones were too small or the comments were not good enough, so they took out their own phones to watch it."
Yang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, that made sense.
But the role of Wu Mu is still unquestionable!
This is so useful!
As the chief director of Bilibili, he even felt a little guilty for paying Wu Mu 15 million yuan.
We have to give a lot of red envelopes.
Otherwise, let alone inviting Wu Mu next year, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get close to Wu Mu next year.
After singing "If Love Has Destiny" and unveiling his face, Wu Mu sang "Childhood" as planned to consolidate his popularity and give the heat some time to ferment.
Then the peak number of online viewers for the evening party finally reached 19 million.
Although the party has not ended yet, this is definitely the highest number of people tonight, because as soon as Wu Mu sang "Childhood" and left the stage, the number of viewers immediately dropped by three million, and is still falling rapidly.
But none of this has anything to do with Wu Mu.
He had already gone backstage. As soon as he stepped into the backstage, he heard the sound of fireworks and warm applause and cheers.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wu Mu for a successful performance!"
"Thank you Mr. Wu Mu for such a wonderful performance tonight!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu Mu!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. Wu Mu!"
All I saw were smiling faces, and the backstage entrance was crowded with people.
The New Year's Festival hadn't even ended yet, but Yang Sheng had already led the backstage staff and employees who were able to leave, as well as the guests waiting to enter, to celebrate, applaud and cheer as soon as he came in.
The cards are fully loaded.
Wu Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded in thanks, "Thank you, everyone has worked hard, and Happy New Year."
Then immediately there was another feeling of not feeling tired. It was because Teacher Wu Mu’s performance was so wonderful that he was the one who worked the hardest.
This situation made Zhao Xue and Wang Xiaotian, who were in the crowd, jealous.
They are all guests, so why does it feel like there is such a big difference in their treatment?
Some of them had already finished singing, and after they stepped down from the stage, the assistant director and other staff came up to them and handed them towels to express their gratitude. After all, Yang Sheng was the chief director of various activities at Bilibili, so he shouldn't be so shameless.
But when it came to Wu Mu, it was fine that Yang Sheng came over in person, but he even called all the staff who could leave to come over to congratulate him?
"Who is the national level here?" Zhao Xue felt sour.
Wang Xiaotian was so jealous that he clenched his fists. "Damn it, being handsome means you're popular wherever you go. If I were handsome, I would have been a first-tier star a long time ago."
Zhao Xue looked at his face, then at Wu Mu's face, and said something fair, "Although Xiaotian, if you look like Wu Mu, you will definitely be a top star, but Wu Mu is more than just handsome."
It’s okay to be handsome and attract idol fans, but if you want to be popular and break through the circle, it’s useless to just be handsome and be a vase.
What's more, he has become as popular as Wu Mu. When Zhao Xue was watching Wu Mu perform martial arts, magic and sing in the backstage, her eyes were filled with tears.
Especially the last singing scene, if love is destined, the picture of such a handsome guy singing such an extremely beautiful song really fits the fantasy of girls.
To be honest, she could kind of see Wu Mu's character. He wasn't the type to mess around, otherwise she would have secretly gone up to him and handed him her contact information.
Although she is ten years older than Wu Mu, she is only in her thirties, not old, right? And her status as a national-level actress also gives her some advantages, right?
Zhao Xue felt secretly regretful in her heart.
Wang Xiaotian ignored the second half of Zhao Xue's words and just looked at Wu Mu and sighed, "After today, your status will be raised again. This is really out of the ordinary."
This is certain. The effect is so good. People in the circle are not blind and can't fail to see the effect of Wu Mu.
After tonight, no matter what else, Wu Mu’s worth will definitely increase.
It had just seen a big surge after returning from Cannes, but less than half a month had passed and it was going up again.
Well, Bilibili has already directly raised the price of Wu Mu.
"Teacher Wu Mu, this is the New Year's red envelope that we at Bilibili send to you. I wish you a happy New Year and thank you for your performance tonight." Chief Director Yang Sheng took a red envelope and handed it to Wu Mu with both hands.
When I opened the red envelope, there was a piece of red paper with the words "10 million" written on it.
This is the money that Bilibili gave Wu Mu, directly adding 10 million to his account, turning it from 15 million to 25 million.
Twenty-five million for an evening performance can be considered a sky-high price.
The pay for a normal first-tier star for a movie is probably not that high.
Wu Mu was also surprised that Bilibili was so generous, but when he thought about the budget of Bilibili for this year's gala, which was at least 1.5 million yuan, and his role in it, he accepted it without hesitation.
Of course, this red envelope is just a design. The specific payment still needs to be settled by Bilibili later.
Shu Mei, Shi Wu and others were also nearby and had not left yet.
Shi Wu will not go back home to celebrate the New Year this year and will not rest during the New Year. Shu Mei's home is close, so she will leave later.
Shi Wu looked at his boss with a strange expression on his face. This was the first time that their boss asked the platform to add money to the red envelope.
Platforms or TV stations always try to lower the prices as much as possible when facing other stars. Not to mention actively increasing the price, it is common for them to drag their feet on paying the agreed amount.
When it comes to Wu Mu, it is obvious that everyone wants to build a good relationship with Wu Mu so that he can come to him again if there is a program in the future. Otherwise, there is no need to pay more for a one-time deal.
He felt strange in his heart, but looking back at his boss's performance tonight, Shi Wu had to say that even if it was 25 million, it was still worth it.
Shi Wu did not forget his job as a manager. After Yang Sheng and the others left, he thought for a while and said, "Boss, our show today was very effective and popular. Although Station B is still not as good as CCTV Spring Festival Gala and other satellite TV Spring Festival Galas, and it is mainly for young people, we can still strike while the iron is hot and market our promotion to the national level."
Shu Mei nodded vigorously at the side, "Yes, my brother's popularity has long been national-level, and it has indeed increased greatly this time! Although there are fewer older viewers on B station, there are many younger viewers! Who said that students can't be considered national-level!"
Wu Mu's status and impression in the circle have indeed been at the national level for some time.
According to the public's impression and the national-level impression recognized by the circle, it is not enough that only young people who frequently surf the Internet know about it, otherwise the status is not stable enough. They can make quick money and money from fans, which to some extent may make more than some national-level people.
But the foundation is not solid enough, which may be a problem in the product market targeting young people.
But when it comes to people of a older age group, such as various fast-moving consumer goods and various offline brand products, it will be a little lacking.
This can also easily lead to exasperation.
Therefore, national-level stars need to have a broad enough reach and be known by people of as many age groups as possible, from migrant workers in rural areas to old cadres in cities, and all kinds of middle-aged and elderly groups should have a general impression of them.
From this point of view, Wu Mu is definitely not enough now.
These are not the user groups of Bilibili, let alone the user groups of the New Year Festival.
The B-station New Year's Festival can only give Wu Mu some additional impressions of underage viewers.
But as for marketing, it only takes a little bit of hype to get it done.
And no matter whether it succeeds or not, it’s always good to give it a try first.
Shi Wu made some suggestions.
But unexpectedly, before Wu Mu could speak, Shu Mei, who had just nodded vigorously, shook her head first.
“But Brother Wu, I don’t think we can actively market.”
Shi Wu was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
Wu Mu also looked over curiously.
