Chapter 467 Is Wu Mu a national star?

When Wu Mu saw this topic for the first time, he thought Shi Wu was recruiting internet trolls for him.

But after clicking in, he found out that it was not a water army.

Because this topic was actually transferred from Zhihu, and the problem initially started to ferment on Zhihu.

The topic originally came from a question on Zhihu: "Can Wu Mu be called a national star now?"

At the top is a detailed description of the poster, "I have always been a peripheral fan of Wu Mu. I have bought his albums and watched many of his shows, but I have never bought any of his merchandise."

"And I have been waiting to watch the show last night. After watching it, I was amazed. Wu Mu's shows are both entertaining and interesting. I think they are definitely the best among all the evening shows in this period."

"The few girlfriends and friends who watched it with me were also completely fascinated. They kept asking me about all kinds of things about him and his shows. I was very happy to recommend all kinds of things about Wu Mu to them, and then we talked about Wu Mu's level and popularity in the circle."

"I have heard about the definitions of national-level and superstars in the industry, but from my personal experience, Zhao Xue, Li Cheng, and even Mo Mo, these national-level stars, don't seem to be as popular as Wu Mu? At least I haven't seen them often occupying various hot searches?"

"So I think Wu Mu's level in the circle is higher than these people, and he is the first tier below the superstars, but my friends doubt my statement. We argued for a long time but there was no answer that everyone agreed on, so I thought of coming here to ask everyone."

"What level is Wu Mu in the industry now? Can he be called a national star now?"

The question was asked by a fan of Wu Mu. Many people are curious about this topic, so it attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was posted.

Looking at the answers below the screenshot, the one with the highest number of likes has over 20,000.

The answer with the highest number of likes was from a Zhihu celebrity called “Entertainment Circle Melon Eater King”.

[Entertainment Circle Gossip King]: "Thanks for not inviting me. Wu Mu's topic came uninvited. Everyone knows that I have always been a fan of Wu Mu, because there are so many gossips about this person that I can't finish eating them all! I keep an eye on him and there is endless stuff to write every day. His professional ability is even stronger than anyone else!
“But even as a fan of an idol, I have to say that Wu Mu is probably not at the national level right now.

"First, let me explain to you the definition of national-level and superstar in the industry. In fact, this concept is not a strict concept officially recognized. This term originated from the forum [Celebrity Forum], which was an internal selection activity organized by [Celebrity Forum].

"The activity allowed everyone in the forum to vote for the status and fame of the stars in the circle. At that time, the activity divided the stars in the circle into six levels: superstar, national level, first-line, second-line, third-line, and eighteenth-line, and let everyone vote for who should be placed in which level.

"Then we discussed and came up with a rough standard for the different levels. First, there are superstars. The basic definition is that they are the kind of stars that can be remembered by a generation, or even as a memory of an era or a cultural symbol. They are names that most Chinese people can name and they always have a general impression of them.

“And you also need to have high enough achievements and honors during your career.

“There is no such thing as a superstar being out of date. Even if their current commercial value cannot keep up, and the movies they make or the songs they sing are not so popular, as long as they walk on the street, they will always be recognized immediately by countless audiences and be followed by countless audiences.

"Then there are the national level. They don't have to be a memory of the times or a cultural symbol, but they also need to be well-known enough and widely known to the majority of audiences, audiences of all ages. They also need to have high enough performance and status in the circle as a basis. Then there are the first-tier ones."

This big V is indeed a gossip king. He directly gave a detailed popular science explanation of the original origins and definitions of superstars and national-level, and also provided a lot of screenshots of the time to support his claims.

It was the first time that Wu Mu knew the definition of superstars and national-level stars in the circle. It actually came from a selection activity on a forum.

After explaining all this, the big V's conclusion naturally came out.

[Entertainment Circle Gossip King]: "After reading the definition of national level, you should have discovered that Wu Mu has not yet reached the basic standard of national level. We are all young people who surf the Internet more, so it is easy to regard the voices on the Internet as mainstream voices, but in fact, outside the mainstream platforms, most people do not pay attention to these."

"Wu Mu still lacks a voice among other age groups. The various trending searches on mainstream social platforms cannot fully reflect his popularity and evaluation among all groups of people. It can only prove that he has a much higher popularity and fame than others among young people who frequently use social platforms."

"But even if he hasn't reached that point yet, in the long run, I think Wu Mu will definitely become a national-level figure. His abilities are so comprehensive. He can sing, act, appear on TV shows, and perform all kinds of talents. There is no weakness in him. As long as he can produce a few hit movies, or perform two or three more times on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala like he did yesterday, he will basically be a national-level figure for sure."

"If he can keep up this momentum, I think he will become a superstar in the new era."

Overall, I think it is still insufficient, but I look forward to positive answers in the long run.

This answer received more than 20,000 likes, 8,000 to 9,000 more than the second answer, and it was obviously the majority opinion. But immediately after the second answer, there were objections.

【Mo Yu A Qiu】: "I really disagree with Gao Zan's opinion. If you say Wu Mu is a superstar now, it's definitely not convincing. But if you say he is not even national level, that's a joke."

"I feel like Gaozan was a bit trapped by the selection criteria at the time. After all, isn't this kind of star selection still about selecting a star's overall level? In terms of popularity throughout the year, Wu Mu is definitely not as good as Zhao Xue and Li Cheng, but in other aspects, especially in terms of popularity and commercial value, isn't Wu Mu far superior to them?

"How much are Zhao Xue and Li Cheng's current business offers? (Picture) (Picture) This is the latest offer in the industry. Their endorsement is about 25 million for two years, and their TV series is about 30 million per episode.

"As for Wu Mu, he made 1.1 million for two years as an endorsement! The TV series was exaggerated to million. Yes, more than million. Because Wu Mu rarely shoots TV series, the long-form series have been called to this figure.

"It takes three Zhao Xue to match one Wu Mu.

"As for popularity, let's look at the personal trends on Weibo. Zhao Xue has been on the hot search list 21 times recently. And Wu Mu has been on the hot search list 137 times! That's equivalent to six or seven Zhao Xues!

"In terms of the number of reposts of other Weibo topics, the number of likes on accounts, etc., Wu Mu is also far ahead. I haven't even mentioned Wu Mu's total annual income, that would be too bullying.

"Of course, some people may say that the national level rating is biased towards fame, and is more of a public evaluation of the overall popularity of a star. If we compare the data, the data from the top stars is not low, and is also higher than Zhao Xue.

“I admit that the name of the national level is clear enough to tell what it means, but at the same time, I also want to say that after all these years of development, this evaluation has long since changed from a forum selection to a universally recognized star-level evaluation standard.

“As a specific criterion for judging grades, actual performance must be taken into account as a reference item. I agree that data cannot be used as an absolute reference standard.

“But I think there is a prerequisite, that is, the data cannot be too different.

"Compared to Zhao Xue and others, the top stars are a few percent more popular online, and their business quotations are the same. Under such circumstances, Zhao Xue's popularity is definitely much more valuable than theirs. After all, it's hard to say when they will become out of fashion, while Zhao Xue has been popular for more than a decade thanks to her popularity.

"But how big is the gap between Wu Mu? Can this gap really be made up by national popularity? In a star ranking, the gap between the ranking and the actual performance is so big, which not only affects the fairness of the ranking, but also means that the ranking cannot represent the real level at all?"

"Even the 300 most famous people in the world know to use income as a weighted factor in their calculations. Don't you guys consider this?"

The answerer's answer was based on Wu Mu's performance. The ranking of superstars, national-level and first-line stars in the circle has long since changed from an entertaining public selection to a level standard.

In this case, the ranking and actual performance are so different that it is obviously unreasonable.

This statement has also gained the approval of many people. From everyone's perspective, it seems that Wu Mu is more popular than Zhao Xue and others, and his ability to make money is also much higher.

Even if Wu Mu is not necessarily better than Zhao Xue and the others, after all, there is still a risk that he may become outdated quickly, but at least it should be okay to put both sides on the same level, right?

This is the second most popular answer.

Then the answer ranked third, with 7,000 likes, has a new angle.

[Wake up at 3:30]: "Of course Wu Mu is a national star!"

"Looking at everyone's arguments, I'm a little confused. Why do I feel like everyone seems to agree that Wu Mu's national popularity is not high enough?"

"But is it possible that Wu Mu is actually not bad in terms of national popularity?"

"National popularity is ultimately about how many people know this star, so let's use the latest demographic data released by the National Bureau of Statistics to make a complete calculation."

"(Picture) (Picture) Everyone can look at the picture for themselves. According to national statistics, the population aged 0-14 is 2.53 million. There is no need to think about Zhao Xue and Li Cheng. They will not account for much of this population. Many young viewers have already begun to not recognize them, let alone those under 14 years old."

“But um, it may be a little politically incorrect to say it, but you may not know that Wu Mu actually has quite a few viewers among this group of people.”
