Chapter 551: Chapter 387

(Don’t look yet, I’ll fix it in an hour)

After finishing the recording of the Netflix variety show and returning to Beijing, Wu Mu was temporarily free and spent the past few days lounging at home and wandering around the company.

Although there were several new gigs contacting him from the company, he decided not to accept them for now and planned to rest for a few days.

Then, the behind-the-scenes footage Lin Qingyue mentioned earlier arrived.

On the third day back in Beijing, Yan Yongmei called Wu Mu, "Wu Mu, our film is about to start its initial promotional activities. We’ve already registered the official accounts on various platforms. We’ll be releasing the behind-the-scenes footage of you at the film set shortly; keep an eye out."

It’s predictable that the release of the footage will definitely cause a huge stir, and Yan Yongmei was giving Wu Mu a heads-up.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Mu opened Weibo and searched, and sure enough, he quickly saw the content posted by their account.

The official account of "Separate": "February 13, aiming for Cannes! Venice Best Short Film Gold Award-winning director Lin Qingyue and the highly popular celebrity Wu Mu are bringing you their first movie. Here’s a special behind-the-scenes clip, very exciting. @Lin Qingyue @Evolved Wu Mu."

Attached below the text was a video.

Wu Mu curiously clicked on it.

On screen appeared his curious face, sitting in a small tent on the film set, looking towards the camera, and asked puzzled, "What’s going on?"

Then Lin Qingyue’s cheerful voice came from behind the camera, "I’m filming some behind-the-scenes footage to release as a promotional video later. Learning four languages in two months — this will probably be more appealing than my film if we release it. Repeat what you just said."

Wu Mu repeated, "My current plan is to take advantage of my leisure time during filming to spend about twenty days, no more than a month, to learn Japanese. Then spend another twenty days to learn Korean, and with any remaining time I’ll learn some French and German."

The camera then fell silent for a long time, even though it only showed Wu Mu on screen, you could still clearly feel the speechless atmosphere from the people around.

Next came the footage of Lin Qingyue testing Wu Mu’s learning progress; she stepped into the shot, picked up the Japanese book Wu Mu had placed on the table, waved to everyone, and smiled, "Let me test Teacher Wu Mu for everyone."

These were essentially the real scenes captured after Wu Mu received a language genius buff while filming a movie.

However... the video abruptly ended after Lin Qingyue spoke, and that was it.

Wu Mu grumbled speechlessly, "The show crew is really sneaky, using me to hype again."

Evidently, the crew intended to release the behind-the-scenes content bit by bit. Throughout filming, they shot extensive footage of Wu Mu’s entire process of learning all four languages during his free time.

The crew had only released this small portion, clearly intending to gradually hype up the excitement, maintaining the buzz until the film’s release, including some initial suppression followed by a comeback strategy.

Imagine the audience’s skepticism and disbelief upon seeing the video without the follow-up — it would be unimaginable.

Learning four languages in two months is shockingly bragging, even in the boasting community.

Wu Mu shook his head and closed the video, looking beneath it.

There wasn’t a single comment. The account was new, without followers, and the Weibo post had just been made, so no one had seen it yet.

Wu Mu casually liked it and then left a comment under the Weibo post, "Looking forward to Director Lin winning another Cannes Gold Award."

As a super influencer with over eight million fans on Weibo, his likes were highly capable of directing traffic, especially in this unique context...

A bunch of people quickly flocked to "Separate" to watch the spectacle.

"Wu Gou, Wu Gou!"

"Let’s see what Wu Gou has liked this time!"

"Wider likes? Why isn’t he liking those posts complaining about bad restaurants or poorly made products? I’m bored; I want to see blood running like a river!"

"That’s hilarious, you guys really want Wu Gou to get in trouble, right? Two restaurants have already been closed this month because of Wu Gou’s backlash, and Mingli Appliances had to come forward to apologize due to abnormal power consumption and poor product control. If this continues, Wu Gou will turn into a curse and offend everyone."

Yes, unlike other celebrities who are constrained by the brands backing them when something happens and don’t dare to explode, Wu Mu actually explodes. If the restaurant he dined at was a poorly marketed one with bad food, or if the electronic product he bought was poorly made with inadequate quality control and broke soon after, he genuinely has the ability to directly like those related negative Weibo posts.

After this was discovered by fun-seekers, they were almost turning him into something like a Wu Gou Selects — if even Wu Gou says it’s bad, don’t let your brains get fooled!

This led to his casual likes becoming more and more scrutinized over time.

The crowd followed the likes, only to be disappointed when they didn’t find the entertainment they sought.

Still, quite a few curious people clicked on the video below the official Weibo post.

Then...

"Huh? Huh? Wu Gou says he’s going to learn four languages in two months!?"

"Holy crap, is Wu Gou out of his mind boasting like this!?"

The crowd was truly bewildered.

The content was indeed ridiculously over-the-top.

Definitely seemed like something boasting without a brain.

"Wu Gou is known for his impressive language skills, which I know, since he can speak English and Russian, and recently it was revealed in a South Korean variety show that he knows Korean too. But this is clearly something he’s already learned, right? Learning four languages in two months? This is pure slapping everyone’s intelligence on the ground!"

"Has Wu Gou changed course, trying to establish a genius scholar persona? But this is really too fake!"
