Chapter 320 broadcast follow-up (Thanks to "Spicy Coco" for the leader's reward!)
When Wu Mu's new program caused heated discussions in South Korea, there was also a lot of discussion in China.
Variety show audiences have always been Wu Mu’s core base, and there are a large number of audiences in China who like to watch his variety shows.
Not to mention that this variety show has caused such a big stir in South Korea, and there is also anticipation for the show to be exported overseas.
Everyone knows the variety show effect of Wu Gou. Just think about the confused reactions of the Korean audiences after they questioned him, and you will feel great.
However, not many domestic audiences understand Korean, and it is impossible for the program team to produce a Chinese version with Chinese subtitles for them.
So everyone is a bit like the badger that is anxiously running around in the melon field because it can't eat the melon.
"Big guys, hurry up and release the subtitled version! It's ok if the quality is lower even if it's directly on AI, I want to see Noon Dog's new show within the hour!"
"Is there a subtitle group that can translate a new show for an afternoon? I just went over the firewall to watch it, but I couldn't understand it at all. I didn't feel any sense of experience at all."
"There are several subtitle groups that are already working on it, but I saw from them that the show hasn't finished airing yet and they can't get the complete footage, so they can only do it by recording it. I guess it won't be out until tomorrow at the earliest."
Obviously, the program was not broadcast in China and not many people could watch it, but the topic of this program unexpectedly became a hot search on Weibo.
In addition to the voices asking for the subtitles to be moved, the most important thing is that there are people who understand Korean and can eat raw meat and share the latest news of the program under the topic.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Wu Gou's opening was too ridiculous. He just stood there silently pretending to be an expert. Only the Korean audiences would believe this. Who would believe this in China? There's something wrong at first glance."
"That's right. It's better to hope that Wu Gou, who is so conspicuous, won't come out to look for the camera than to hope that he won't cut leeks one day."
"I am dying of laughter, but those Koreans are still scolding him for having a bad impression and saying there are inside stories behind his appearance on the show."
This was shared when the show first aired.
"The noon dog has started! It still has the familiar taste!"
"Wu Gou started to exert his strength and directly rented a car using the phone given by the production team, which shocked the Korean production team."
This was shared after the clips of other people were finished and then switched to Wu Mu's perspective.
Then as they watched, these people were also stunned.
"??"
"Wu Gou knows Korean!?"
"Fuck, Wu Gou actually speaks Korean!"
Other viewers who hadn't watched it initially thought these people were joking.
"Stop kidding. Wu Gou knows so many languages. He can speak Korean, right? Do you really think he knows everything?"
No one believed it, mainly because Wu Mu had previously revealed that he could speak several languages, so adding this to the story made it seem a bit fake.
But soon, someone recorded part of the program and posted it.
This time, everyone was confused.
Does he really know how to do it?
When the program was broadcast, Wu Mu was still filming.
After a scene was over and during the break, Shu Mei came over happily with her cell phone in her hand.
"Hey, Boss, your Korean fans have skyrocketed!"
She held up her phone to show Wu Mu.
Wu Mu looked at her phone screen and found it was a KakaoTalk group chat page.
"Since the show aired, your fan group has had people joining it continuously. The group has already reached its upper limit!"
Wu Mu took a look and was curious, "The upper limit of the group chat here is 1,500 people. Is it considered a surge if we add 1,500 people?"
"There's more than just one! The owner has already opened two and three groups, and these two are also full!" Shu Mei showed it to Wu Mu.
Oh, that’s indeed a huge increase. There were only about a thousand people before, and now it has tripled or quadrupled.
The show hasn't even finished airing yet, and only a small part of the people have searched for it and added it to the group chat. The rapid increase in number shows, to some extent, the popularity of his new show.
And there is not only group chat, there is also the well-known Korean community website DC Inside, which is probably similar to the domestic Tieba community.
The number of followers of the section created by Korean fans for Wu Mu also skyrocketed, from the original 6,000 to 70,000.
The number of 70,000 or 80,000 may not be enough in China, but it is already a very high number in South Korea.
Shu Mei has data. "The ratings for each episode of Super Challenge are about 7%. This episode will definitely be higher, probably around 8%. Based on the Korean population of more than 50 million, that means about 4 million people watched the show."
"Among these four million people, nearly one in fifty became interested in you, the boss, before they even finished watching the show, and specifically searched and followed your community section."
With this calculation, the conversion rate is indeed quite high.
Shu Mei's face flushed with excitement. "Boss, you really are easy to attract fans in Korea! If you have a few more shows, you can turn all the Korean audiences into fans!"
She felt more and more that her boss's overseas strategy was simply too advantageous. Not to mention other places, the East Asian countries with a more similar cultural context were simply being slaughtered indiscriminately!
Many crew members were also taking a break nearby.
For example, the second female lead, Liu Miao, her eyes flickered and she wanted to say something, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Lin Qingyue who was also standing next to her, so she ended up saying nothing.
Lin Qingyue said for her and smiled, "That's amazing. You even have fans abroad."
They did not doubt the truthfulness of Shu Mei's words, but the other crew members who were also taking a break nearby had some doubts in their hearts.
real or fake?
Is Wu Mu so powerful abroad?
Although we knew before that Wu Mu went to South Korea to participate in a program, it was later reported that Wu Mu's program was very popular and caused heated discussions.
But no one had ever thought that Wu Muzhen could be liked abroad.
Although most people in China look down on Koreans, to be honest, Korean entertainment culture has a greater influence than domestic entertainment culture worldwide.
Not only are Korean stars more popular and established, Korean entertainment programs are also more well-known than domestic programs.
There are many programs in China that are made by directly purchasing the copyrights of Korean programs.
Therefore, in the minds of people in the industry, the market in South Korea is undoubtedly a bit high-end.
As a result, a program by Wu Mu caused such a huge response and had such an immediate effect?
What did he shoot?
Everyone was undoubtedly aroused by Shu Mei's words.
Those who originally hadn't planned to watch Wu Mu's show are now thinking about finding the show and watching it later.
Wu Mu's show continues to ferment.
Especially after the program was brought over by the subtitle group and domestic audiences actually saw the program, it directly became a hot search on major platforms.
Putting aside the audience's amazement, what is reflected in the domestic data is that the number of followers on Wu Mu's Weibo, which was very difficult to increase, has increased significantly again.
Maybe it's cool to show off in a foreign country, or maybe it's pretty cool to have fans in Korea.
Anyway, his Weibo followers have increased by 640 or in one go, and now it has reached million. Well, it still seems a bit small.
But there is no way. A trend has been formed among the active user groups on Weibo. If you follow Wu Gou, you are an open fan of Wu Gou.
Once you speak, and someone checks your background, you can no longer use the excuse of "just watching".
The title of "Noon Dog Fan" is obviously too heavy.
In addition to fan data, there is also feedback from the company Ishitake.
The prices of the projects that have recently approached him have all been raised a level, generally by two to three million.
His regular endorsement offer has now reached 37 million for two years, which is already on the high side among the top stars.
Actually, this is normal. Although Wu Mu’s number of Korean fans doesn’t seem to have increased much, at least tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans are still too few compared to those in China.
But this is quite cool!
In addition to their popularity, celebrities also care about their status.
If you have popularity and fans overseas, and these fans are real and tangible, not those created by your own marketing, then it will be easy for you to charge a higher price than others.
Domestic producers generally still have the idea that the moon is rounder abroad.
While people in the industry were raising the price of Wu Mu, they also felt a little weird.
Does Wu Mu really have a chance to become an Asian superstar?
Even though there are many people in the circle bragging about how popular someone is abroad, in fact everyone in the circle basically understands that most of these are the result of their own marketing.
Basically, the data was collected with the help of domestic fans and a small number of foreign fans.
It has never attracted mainstream attention abroad.
But how does Wu Mu look like he's trying to attract mainstream attention in Korea?
It’s just one show and it’s already so popular. What would happen if there were more shows?
Wu Mu was naturally happy about his rising value.
But I don’t care at all about the fact that I have more fans.
Real fans don't mean much to him.
Not only is the money earned incomparable to the Cyber fans brought by the system performance card, the most important thing is that there are too many things to do.
such as
Wu Mu has no work today, so he needs to talk to Shu Mei and the others about something.
Then when he found Shu Mei, he discovered that Shu Mei was still paying close attention to the movements of his Korean fans.
What are the trends of Korean fans?
Wu Mu glanced at the content on Shu Mei's phone screen and was speechless for a moment, "Are they discussing and proposing that I immigrate to South Korea?"
Shu Mei was so focused on her phone that she obviously didn't notice him coming over. She was startled, "Boss!"
After being frightened for a moment, she also had a strange look on her face. "Well, it was originally a discussion started on DC Inside, and then it slowly expanded and spread to the group chat of the fan base."
This program has indeed greatly increased Wu Mu's popularity in Korea.
Many viewers who watched the show were attracted to search and learn about Wu Mu.
Then, after searching for information, they saw the Korean fans' introduction of Wu Mu being chased and scolded by other viewers in China.
While these newly-followed fans were shedding tears for their new brother, someone came up with a creative idea.
Since Brother Wu Mu’s situation in China is not good, why not let him immigrate directly to South Korea? The problem will be solved immediately!
Chinese audiences don’t care about Brother Wu Mu, they care!
Then this proposal came up in the community.
migrant?
Or immigrate to South Korea?
Wu Mu was speechless. How could that be possible?
Although he had no preconceived ideas about individual persons, he did have his likes and dislikes about broad concepts and political systems.
All I can say is that fans are like this. If you want to make money from them, you have to cater to and satisfy their preferences.
Otherwise, if you don't want to do it in your heart but want to make money from others, pretending to be close and cater to them, sooner or later you will be backlashed and your house will collapse.
How could he be so comfortable being responsible only for system points?
Shu Mei was also helpless. "Boss, your environment in China is too strange. People who don't understand it can easily misunderstand you."
The fans don’t say anything, and there are a lot of black fans, even more than the real fans, and passers-by tend to curse in a joking manner.
Anyone who doesn't understand the situation will be confused.
"Boss, you have a lot of Korean fans now, but only Korean fans are saying that when you have more fans from other places in the future, I guess fans from other places will also want you to immigrate to their places."
Then fans from all over the world compete for brother's nationality, and domestic fans are speechless and feel wronged?
Shu Mei thought about it for a moment and felt that this scene seemed quite interesting.
Wu Mu is not responsible for his fans, and after being speechless, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
He got straight to the point.
"When will Wang Ren and his drama be aired?"
Shu Mei is the junior manager of the company and is involved in almost everything. "It is still being submitted for review, but Yang Rongfa and his team have asked someone and it should be approved soon. If it progresses quickly, it will be broadcast around New Year's Day."
That's pretty good progress, then.
Wu Mu nodded and said, "They probably don't have any plans recently, right? Ask Brother Wu to ask them if they will accept new projects. I have a script that I want to film and I want to ask Wang Ren and others to shoot it."
What Wu Mu was talking about was naturally the "The Piano in a Factory" that he had drawn before. As soon as he got the script, he felt that it was very suitable for Wang Ren's style.
It looks like a comedy, but at its core it's actually about workers being laid off in the 1990s, and it's a story of the joys and sorrows of little people in the changing times.
This is undoubtedly Wang Ren’s strike zone, he is very good at this style of film.
In fact, he also has a very suitable candidate for another script he is working on, "Love Letter", Lin Qingyue.
This aesthetic and romantic shooting style and implicit and restrained emotional expression are undoubtedly Lin Qingyue's consistent directorial style.
But Lin Qingyue was obviously not free before, as she was already preparing for the movie she is currently filming. I wonder if she will be busy with the new season of Star Agency next year.
Wu Mu planned to ask her after finishing the current movie.
The boss has a script he wants to shoot?
Shu Mei was undoubtedly stunned, and then she was shocked.
Oh no, the boss tasted the sweetness of investing in TV series before, and wants to invest again to make money!
No!
Although "The Vanishing Man" made a lot of money before, this kind of probability is only one or two special cases in the film and television industry!
Among the hundreds or thousands of projects started every year, only a very small number make money, while the majority barely break even or suffer huge losses!

ps: Thanks to the leader of Spicy Cocoa!
I feel ashamed that I can still give rewards to the leader even though my update is so bad.
I will keep it up for a while today, and I will try my best to update more tomorrow!
