Chapter 631: Chapter 427 Wu Gou’s Cherry Blossom Sister Fans are Gods! _2

"You made it to the CCTV news, go check it out!" Sun Yueqing hurriedly called.

Wu Mu was also a bit taken aback. He had only been casually following the developments over the past few days and wasn’t keeping up with everything, so he didn’t know about the CCTV news.

Sun Yueqing was dumbfounded, "You’ve already worn out the top of Weibo’s trending searches and now you’re on CCTV’s trending news? How come you’re so popular in Japan? It doesn’t even make sense! You’ve only debuted there for a short while, how can the fans be so die-hard?"

She couldn’t quite understand.

To directly create a parade-level headline for an idol, this was beyond a fan circle, this was a super fan circle!

After Sun Yueqing hung up, Wu Mu’s phone continued to ring.

It was Lin Qingyue on the line, and there was a trace of amazement in her voice, "Amu, you’re on CCTV. I’m at my grandpa’s place and just showed it to him; he was astounded."

Then there was another call from Shu Mei, "Wow, brother, we’re on the CCTV news!"

Being featured on CCTV, especially on a serious news channel, carries a completely different weight, even for celebrities.

Well, unless you came up in legal problems, it’s quite rare.

Then came calls from Wang Xiaotian, Shi Wu, and even Yang Rongfa, Wu Feng, and the others.

One after another without a gap, it showed the impact of this situation. Normally, when Wu Mu had something trending, people would call to congratulate him and, noticing his line was busy, would call later. But this time it was clear that they wanted to ensure the call went through.

By the afternoon, when Wu Mu went to the company, he was immediately met with the spotlight from the employees.

Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him.

Then...

"Wowowow~" Applause erupted.

Wu Mu looked at the applauding employees, a bit speechless, "It’s not that big of a deal, just made it to CCTV, it’s not like I won an award."

Shu Mei was beaming with joy, "Brother, this is perceived as way more prestigious than some minor award! Which other singer has made it to the CCTV news for a fan parade?"

"It’s not like it’s the nightly news," Wu Mu shook his head. He had already seen it was on CCTV’s channel 13 news broadcast.

"That’s still amazing!"

Indeed, it was amazing. How do celebrity circles define their status and popularity?

By such incidents that, when mentioned, people automatically recognize the level of popularity.

If you say this celebrity is popular, people who don’t know might not get it. But if you say this celebrity released an album abroad, then foreign fans organized a 60,000 to 70,000 strong march, and it was broadcast on CCTV news,

People immediately understand what that means.

"After this news, no one online or in the industry can doubt your popularity in Japan anymore!" Shu Mei exclaimed happily.

Can people still question that Wu Mu’s heat in Japan was just hype?

One could instantly show the news to shut them up; can hype create a 60,000 to 70,000 person parade?

Without popularity, could that many fans accomplish such a feat?

Besides, their boss’s album sales were also skyrocketing.

"People on Weibo are now discussing how popular you really are overseas!" Shu Mei showed her phone to Wu Mu.

Wu Mu looked over and wasn’t surprised at all to find himself dominating the trending searches again.

Since his popularity began to rise, getting on the trending searches had become increasingly easy, and compared to other celebrities who would enter with minor incidents like "posted a new photo" or "said something positive," Wu Mu’s entries were all major events.

All events where the title itself seemed impressive, making people want to click in and see.

Wu Mu took Shu Mei’s phone and curiously clicked on the trending topic questioning his popularity to check it out.

The discussion underneath was very lively.

"Damn, seeing Wu Gou on CCTV’s trending news surprised me, thought he might have been bashed by haters for being too outrageous. Turns out it was his fans’ parade?"

"Shocked, didn’t Wu Gou only begin developing in Japan not too long ago? How did he manage to stir up a 60,000 to 70,000 person parade in less than a month? Is he that popular in Japan?"

"This is ridiculous, gaining 60,000 to 70,000 fans in less than a month, hardcore ones willing to organize a parade. If he stays for a few years, wouldn’t all of Japan be his fans?"

"Yeah, I saw online talk about his new album and thought he was going to flop, but then it instantly sold over 2 million, and he had so many fans... Wu Gou is truly talented at attracting fans. Do you think his domestic fans who secretly pay are the same? Drawn in, and then too embarrassed to admit it due to the local climate, having to secretly support?"

"Stop mentioning Wu Gou’s domestic fans, they are all incapable. I declare, Wu Gou’s loyal sakura fans are the true champions! For organizing a grand parade just to promote Wu Gou! Those domestic fans too shy to come out can’t hold a candle to the sakura fans!"

"I acknowledge the sakura fans’ value now. Used to think Wu Gou’s Korean fans were strong enough, but now I realize, the sakura fans are the true powerhouses! Wu Gou’s weak domestic fans shouldn’t even be in the same league!"

Everyone was amazed at the extent of the spectacle and the power of Wu Mu’s Japanese fans.

An idol doesn’t promote their album?

Fans directly create their own grand exposure events!

Even though they’re from different countries, people were awed by sakura fans’ actions.

However, Wu Mu understood all too well, that behind these events, the system had undoubtedly pushed this marketing a bit.

He was also certain that not all those involved in the parade were his fans.

Most likely, many were ordinary people quietly influenced by the system’s Performance Card.

The Performance Card can’t directly brainwash or hypnotize people to join parades, but from Wu Mu’s observations, the system’s marketing strategy generally mimicked online platform methods, manipulating the content each person sees, and influencing and prompting action at the desired time and place with the right content.

The parade was likely rooted in Japan’s existing culture for such parades, and his album just got swept in in the momentum.

In reality, Wu Mu himself is not entirely supportive of such fan parade activities.

He’s not being ungrateful but rather concerned about one particular direction, "What if Tongzi later creates some negative publicity for me?"

Wu Mu mused.

What if he exploited fan excitement incidents to a breaking point, or fan groups causing trouble to create hot topics...

It’s money that feels too hot to hold.

But thinking about Tongzi’s marketing cases thus far, Wu Mu felt it shouldn’t happen.

All this time, the system’s Performance Card generally worked on positive influence, not generating negative outcomes.

After reading, Wu Mu returned the phone to Shu Mei.

No matter how, this time the system provided him with a hotspot, firmly establishing his standing in Japan.

Even if he himself knew that the number of his fans in the parade wasn’t nearly as inflated, external audiences wouldn’t understand and would only assume he had instantly become a celebrity star in Japan, more solidly than in South Korea.

Furthermore, this incident triggered an unusual area compared to the norm - official coverage.

Official recognition and communication were areas where Wu Mu was notably lacking, for reasons well known.

But this time it was on the CCTV news, naturally shifting some attitudes.

For instance, the CCTV movie channel team was now like this.
