Chapter 477 Japanese Variety Show Broadcast
Chapter 477 Japanese Variety Show Broadcast
The news that Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue were in a relationship caused quite a stir among his Korean fan group.
His Japanese fans only started following him after he started dating, so they are relatively more accepting.
However, many of the Korean female fans are girlfriend fans, and the overall star-chasing atmosphere in Korea does not allow idols to have their own romantic partners.
So as soon as his relationship was exposed, many of his Korean female fans immediately stopped following him and turned against him.
Shu Mei had reported to him before.
Until this domestic film was released
"It's obvious that Wu Mu was just being used for hype! Wu Mu was never in a relationship from the beginning to the end!"
"As long as you pull out the timeline, you can immediately understand what's going on! Obviously, Wu Mu and that woman have known each other for quite some time, but there was no scandal before, until that woman was about to shoot a new movie, and then the scandal suddenly popped up!"
"Yes, starting with the song Under the Cherry Blossom Tree, it was obvious that she had started to hype up the movie. Before filming, she deliberately spread rumors of affection for her brother. During filming, she said she was in a relationship with her brother. Then, they broke up when the movie was released. It was all for the sake of hyping up the box office!"
"Brother Wumu must have signed some bad contract with their crew and was forced to do this! That bad woman! Why does Brother Wumu always run into such bad women!"
Shu Mei looked at the discussions under the trending topics, and everyone was silent.
Not to mention, if you just look at the timeline, it does seem like it was for movie hype. This kind of scandal to hype up movie box office is indeed not uncommon in the circle.
But, how could her brother agree to use his love life to hype himself up?
If she really signed a forced contract, her brother would most likely just hang the person up instead of acting according to the contract!
Shu Mei felt inexplicably sad watching this, and thought of herself during Wu Mu's previous scandal, "Fans are willing to believe anything to deceive themselves."
But no matter whether they believe it truly or falsely, under this hot topic, Korean girl fans have unilaterally and officially announced that their brother’s relationship is fake and that their brother has always been single!
At the same time, she directly fired Director Lin from her status as his girlfriend and labeled him a bad woman.
It is precisely because of the topicality of this matter that Wu Mu was pushed to the top of the hot searches.
At this point, the broadcast of his new show has become a secondary topic.
Of course, many people are paying attention to it.
Inside a barbecue restaurant in Seoul, South Korea.
The variety show "Random Shooting" had just finished recording an episode and was celebrating with a dinner party at a reserved barbecue restaurant.
"Random Shooting", as the name suggests, means that the program is shot randomly.
In each episode of this program, the guests themselves choose the theme they want to shoot, and then vote on a certain guest's proposal. Then the guests themselves take the lead in the content of the program.
Because of its novel theme and excellent quality, this show is also a popular variety show in South Korea.
At this time, the five regular guests of the show, the program director, and all the program staff, big and small, were eating barbecue and chatting.
Since Cha Soo-jeong, who participated in the "City Survival" program, is one of the program's regular guests, the topic inevitably turned to this program.
"Xiuzhen, why is the core of the poster of City Survival War that Chinese star? I see that Xiuzhen, you seem to be in the corner?" One of the other guests of the show, the main C Kim Jae-ho, asked with some confusion and curiosity.
Even their popular stars Cha Soo-jung and Kim Hye-yeon were only scattered around the screen. Why did the Chinese star occupy the middle and have that attitude?
Jin Zaihao's topic attracted the attention of many people nearby.
Everyone also has doubts.
"Is Netflix planning to promote him? What's his background?"
"I heard that this show is Netflix's main project this year, and it's also directed by Choi Sang-joong."
"Is it the same as the previous super challenge, where the sponsors played a role?"
Everyone’s first reaction was to see if there was some financial backer behind the scenes.
Otherwise there is no reason to be so biased, it is obvious that he is the core.
As for the good effect of the show?
Don't joke, it's not like they haven't done anything brilliant in the show before, at most they just highlighted it in the editing, there's no way they would directly show it on the poster like that.
That is tantamount to saying that this person is more important than everyone else.
Everyone was discussing questions.
Before Cha Soo-jung could speak, another voice suddenly spoke from the side in a half-joking tone:
"Speaking of which, this Chinese celebrity has been very active in the past six months. He has been defeating Yi Junxi and Lee Jung-hoon one by one, and he has also publicly stated that he will not appear on Shin Jin-hyuk's shows. It seems that our Korean idols have to retreat when they see him."
Ok?
Everyone in the barbecue restaurant fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
There is something veiled in these words.
But to be honest, everyone is a little unhappy with Wu Mu.
It has nothing to do with who Wu Mu is, and it has nothing to do with whether you know Wu Mu or not.
It’s simply because of Wu Mu’s status as a celebrity in China.
As we all know, among all the East Asian countries, South Korea's entertainment culture is the most popular now. Even Japan has to add ACG to compete with them. Otherwise, if we only talk about entertainment stars, we will be defeated by the global Korean wave.
Not to mention the ones from China. No one took them seriously before they were released. They were just a place to make money.
But it is precisely such a star who came from the place where they make money, has beaten all their popular idols to a pulp in the past six months, and it seems that he can suppress super idols like Yi Junxi alone.
Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable?
Everyone looked at the person who was talking. He was a man about 25 or 26 years old, dressed fashionably, with medium-length hair, and a floral shirt with a few buttons deliberately undone, looking like a pretty boy.
Well, he's also an idol.
Kim Ha-jun is one of the regular guests of "Random Shoot".
Jin Xiajun still said nonchalantly, "It's still on the trending search on Twitter in Korea. There are quite a few people paying attention to my relationship."
In the past, only Korean idols could enjoy this kind of treatment in other countries. When will other countries be able to enter their country like this? If they were stars from their own country, it would be fine, but what about China?
The atmosphere in the barbecue restaurant became increasingly subtle.
Cha Soo-jeong, who was at the center of the conversation, had an even more subtle expression, but it was just another form of subtlety.
If it was before she joined "City Survival", she might have agreed with her teammates, but after joining.
That person’s variety shows are really entertaining!
In the previous show, it was clear that everyone started from the same starting point, but while everyone was still struggling to survive, he had already become the boss behind the scenes who was hunting everyone down.
That person's scenes from beginning to end were won through his own competition. It's not that the production team favored him or that he had some background. If the production team didn't do this, the show wouldn't be able to go on the air!
He changed the subject!
After the last show, Che Xiuzhen watched a lot of Wu Mu programs and had a deeper understanding of Wu Mu. She inexplicably saw a familiar feeling in her teammates.
Hmm. That's how Yi Junxi, Li Zhengxun and the others feel. Che Xiuzhen kindly reminded, "Xia Jun, Wu Mu is quite capable, it's not surprising that he's so popular. Stay away from him, it's hard to fight him."
Huh?
Everyone around, including the program director Gao Yuncheng, looked at her with puzzled eyes.
With Netflix's continued preheating and promotion, more and more people have paid attention to Wu Mu's new show.
Even people in China have started discussing it.
"Noon Dog has a new show coming up? Great! I love watching Noon Dog's variety shows."
"But why is it overseas again? Wu Gou can record some domestic variety shows. For overseas variety shows, we have to wait for the resources of the subtitle group."
"Wu Gou has really made it big. He even made it to the cover of Netflix. He's becoming more and more like an international superstar."
"I'm in urgent need of a working ladder. I want to watch Noon Dog's new variety show."
Many domestic audiences are discussing his new show and speculating what he will do in it.
During this period, Wu Mu's joint activities and movie box office continued to rise.
Although the growth rate has obviously slowed down, the movie still maintains a box office of more than 40 million per day.
Then time quickly arrived and it was the day when the variety show was broadcast.
"Dad, Mom, hurry up, Mumu-chan's show is about to start!"
In Tokyo, Japan, Sasaki Anzi, a loyal fan of Wu Mu, just finished her dinner and waited in front of the TV on time, waiting for Wu Mu's new program to start, and then cast the screen to watch it on TV.
Sasaki Anko and her mother Sasaki Miko are the two Japanese audience members who got to know Wu Mu through the song "Loser". They also participated in Wu Mu's Japanese parade.
In addition to Sasaki Miko, Sasaki Anko's father Sasaki Taro was also here today.
He had a beer belly and was a little helpless about his daughter's urging, "Isn't the show going to be broadcast at 7pm? There are still ten minutes left."
But after sitting down in front of the TV, he looked a little curious, "I want to see what this idol who is praised by you like every day is like."
As for his daughter, a high school student, chasing stars, if it was other stars, Taro Sasaki would definitely be against it. After all, his daughter is attending a preparatory high school, not a happy high school, and the academic workload is still relatively heavy.
But he had heard a little about Wu Mu's reputation. An idol who could cause a large-scale parade because of his rebellious spirit sounded particularly high-quality and clean, and could serve as a role model for high school students.
So Taro Sasaki didn't care much about it.
Sasaki Anzi naturally praised her idol highly, "Mumu-chan is a very nice person, especially gentle and kind."
Her mother agreed, "He's a very clean young man."
Although he had not yet met Wu Mu, Taro Sasaki seemed to have imagined what this person looked like from the descriptions of his family members.
The whole family sat in front of the TV, waiting for the show to start.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Netflix released all eight episodes of the show on time.
Netflix is a subscription-based streaming platform. If you want to watch programs, you need to pay a basic membership fee. The fees vary in different regions around the world. In Japan, the basic version costs 40 yuan per month.
Taro Sasaki supported his daughter with actions and paid her an upgraded monthly allowance of 60 yuan.
Anko Sasaki directly clicked on the first episode of the show.
“It is often said that the modern city is a huge steel jungle, a cruel jungle where the strong prey on the weak.”
"We were curious about how a person would survive in this jungle without any extra help, like a harmless rabbit? Like a cautious fox? Like a united hound? Or...
The beginning is a paragraph that mentions the theme, coupled with black and white images, it looks very classy.
"We invited twenty-four players to participate in this survival game."
As the narration goes on, the specific contestants' images appear one by one on the screen.
The famous Korean archery athlete looked a little distressed, "If it was a real jungle, it might be okay for me, but in this urban jungle, it feels like my archery is of little use."
The weightlifter is confident: "I will be the final winner."
Detective Wen Yusheng said calmly: "The city is an area I am familiar with."
The daughter idol that Taro Sasaki wanted to see finally appeared.
Looking at the camera with curiosity, "Urban survival? Does the city also need survival?"
Taro Sasaki nodded involuntarily. His first impression was that he was indeed very clean. After listening to his speech, he seemed as innocent as a college student!
"It feels like the athletes and the criminal police have the greatest advantage and are most likely to win." The family watched the show together and were somewhat attracted by the theme of the show.
"The elite group also has great potential. They are all familiar with English and often travel abroad," said Miko Sasaki.
Xingzi naturally supports her idol, "The celebrity group isn't bad either, Mumu-chan and the others have the advantage of status!"
But Sasaki Taro has already seen it, "While they have the advantage of status, it also means they are easily exposed. For example, your idol, Anzi, will definitely not be ignored as long as he shows up."
After the contestant's opening words, the screen brightens and begins to focus on specific contestant shots.
It is the pre-match filming session after the contestants are invited.
The group of ordinary people who had nothing to do and were just nervous or doing routine information check were just passed by in a few shots.
For those who are active, like Kim Gun-woo, who can gather people online before the game, we will follow them in detail and give them more shots so that the audience can build up an understanding of him and his preparations before the game.
It can be said that these pre-match preparation links are full of everyone's professional characteristics. The social elite group called various acquaintances in Japan to ask for information, and the brainpower working group searched for various relevant information.
Smart girl Kim Hye-yeon schemes and tests her accomplices.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Mu has quite a few shots in this section, nearly two minutes or so.
It's the content
The photographer followed Wu Mu silently, watching him do nothing and prepare nothing every day.
Just lying around, playing, eating and drinking, like there was no program at all, or the so-called survival program was just going out for a trip and taking photos.
This is now a regular feature of Wu Mu's show.
If we don't shoot some shots of him lying down like a lazy fish now, how can we suppress the audience's impression and highlight his performance?
The key point is that Wu Mu was not pretending, he was really like that before the show.
