After sitting down for a while, the program staff ca to explain the precautions for the recording and so interaction techniques.
After they finished explaining, they waited for a little while longer, and the filming officially began.
"Good evening, everyone."
The host, Tamura, a constant figure on Music Station, greeted everyone from the stage. He’s a famous Japanese codian, over seventy years old, and has been the host of this show for more than thirty years.
The co-host often changes, and this ti it was Kitayama Norika.
She also greeted, "Good evening, everyone."
After the simple greetings, without any delay or chatter, they went straight to the the, "Next, let’s welco this episode’s artists onto the stage."
Amid a lody of electronic music, the contestants erged one by one from a closed stage staircase.
The first to appear were the mbers of the teor Youth Group. They greeted the audience and caras with smiles as they passed by, their personas cheerful, even striking so playful poses.
Their deanor made people question whether the rumors online were true or if they were even the sa people.
Asano Daishi overheard two female audience mbers in front whispering again.
The teor Youth Group is very popular, even in Japan, with many people recognizing them. Their appearance sparked a wave of applause and cheers.
Then ca the turn of the Japanese veteran singer, Horikuchi Daisuke.
Next was the Hero Band, followed by SK12.
Though it wasn’t explicitly stated, it was clear they were arranged by industry status, or at least the status deed by the show’s crew.
Hmm, after the previous people had all appeared, the lowest-ranked Wu Mu appeared.
The previously lively atmosphere paused briefly.
Huh, who is this person? Completely unrecognized.
Everyone knew the previous guests, and seeing big celebrities excited everyone.
But this last person seed completely unfamiliar? Very strange?
Moreover...
Asano Daishi noticed the two female audience mbers in front hissed softly.
"This Hua Country celebrity, this Hua Country celebrity..."
"He, he... maybe we misunderstood before, he doesn’t seem like soone who would do bad things."
Asano Daishi was speechless. Just say you’re attracted to looks, you appearance enthusiasts.
Seeing this person’s look, he didn’t doubt that this person might be a big star from Hua Country, as he really looked like a big star.
But does he have enough strength to be on Music Station?
Asano Daishi was curious.
After everyone got on stage, they stood in a line on the stage.
"It’s really lively. Welco, everyone, welco. You should all be familiar with them, but in case anyone doesn’t know, please each introduce yourselves to the audience." Kitayama Norika went through the procedure.
"Hello everyone, we are the teor Youth Group..."
"There’s probably no one who doesn’t know the teor Youth Group, a globally renowned and popular boy band, with 15 music videos surpassing a billion views on YouTube, multiple Grammy nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, and two Arican Music Awards..."
After the singers introduced themselves, Kitayama Norika would add a brief overview of their achievents on the side.
All of them are top-notch talents.
Horikuchi Daisuke repeatedly topped Japan’s streaming chart annual rankings at his career peak, having perford at various concerts at the Martial Arts Hall and Tokyo Do, he’s a heavyweight in the industry.
The Hero Band won the Japan Record Grand Prix, equivalent to the Japanese Grammys, and their song was included in middle school music textbooks.
SK12 dominated Japan’s streaming charts for nearly half a year, already scheduled for this year’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and secured a bunch of top endorsents.
Then ca Wu Mu, whom the audience found very unfamiliar.
"Teacher Wu Mu may be relatively unknown to everyone, but in fact, Teacher Wu Mu is a super celebrity in Hua Country. In five years since debuting, he has released four albums, with two selling over ten million copies and two selling over two million copies. In the film, TV, and variety fields, his popularity is unmatched, and in this year’s newly released Global Celebrity 300 ranking, Teacher Wu Mu was ranked 289th with an inco of more than 26 billion yen."
Ah?
Asano Daishi was suddenly taken aback.
He had no concept of a big star from Hua Country, it felt distant.
But when you talk about album sales, he understood.
Two albums with over ten million copies sold...
Holy crap! That’s a lot!
Asano Daishi took a deep breath.
In Japan, selling over a million copies of an album is considered top-level!
Even the nearby Horikuchi Daisuke, who topped so many streaming charts in his career, didn’t have his total album sales reach ten million!
As for the following numbers, it was even more exaggerated, an annual inco of over 26 billion yen!?
Is this even a number a person can earn!?
Are you sure they didn’t add an extra zero!?
Horikuchi Daisuke, the Hero Band, and SK12 together couldn’t earn that much!

However, before reaching the hotel, he unexpectedly discovered a familiar face on the roadside.
Huh, why is she here?
Wu Mu curiously looked at the figure standing in front of a restaurant ahead.
It was Su ng, whom he had t in the first episode of Star Agency long ago.
At this ti, she was standing beside a red Ferrari, looking furious, saying sothing to the person inside the Ferrari.
Wu Mu couldn’t see the person inside the Ferrari, but that person clearly had quite a temper because after exchanging just a few words, they suddenly hit the accelerator, leaving Su ng standing there as they drove off.
Su ng remained standing there, frowning at the direction they left.
Wu Mu chuckled as he drove over, rolled down the window, and joked, "Little Su, long ti no see."
Su ng turned to look at him, seemingly taken aback.
This was only the second ti the two had t in real life.
However, Su ng seed quite attentive to his situation, as Wu Mu often received feedback from Su ng on his new songs via WeChat.
Not much conversation, just straightforward comnts like "the song sounds great."
Hmm, whether a hater or a fan, at least they contributed to the viewership.
Wu Mu smiled and said, "Your driver left? Should I give you a ride?"
Su ng hesitated slightly, "Let inform my family first."
"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to co over, yes, a friend will give a ride ho, okay, I understand."
After finishing the call, Su ng opened Wu Mu’s front passenger door and got in.
After confirming her destination, Wu Mu asked curiously, "Aren’t you from Shen City, why are you here."
Su ng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."
She paused, her face rarely showing a bit of a smile, "We were at the venue just now, and my friends wanted to cover their ears for your first song."
Wu Mu laughed, "Well, it’s not my fault, my singing wasn’t the problem."
Wu Mu and Su ng chatted casually as he soon dropped Su ng at her ho, a large courtyard house in the Upper City District not far from the Forbidden City.
Hmm, confird, she’s another Heavenly Dragon People.
Wu Mu was quite surprised, although it was clear from her usual words and actions that Su ng’s family was quite wealthy.
But he didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.
This courtyard house alone would probably cost at least
The host wasn’t available at the mont, Yang Rongfa asked, "Today, a lot of big directors and company owners from the industry ca, should I introduce you to so?"
This is an opportunity for normal people in the industry.
Knowing more people is always good.
But... recalling the experience from the previous cocktail party, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.
Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."
But halfway through shaking his head, his gaze swept past a figure in a small side reception room separated from the main hall and paused slightly.
"Director Lin is here too?" Wu Mu inquired from Yang Rongfa.
The ’Director Lin’ he ntioned was naturally not Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.
Although Lin Qingyue would be returning tonight, she’d be busy with the crew’s affairs and wouldn’t appear here.
Also, he had ntioned to Lin Qingyue in the morning while chatting that he would attend this cocktail party, so if Lin Qingyue were coming, she would have surely told him.
"Yes, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are also here." Yang Rongfa nodded.
Wu Mu thought for a mont, realizing these two were also top-level directors in the circle, on par with Lin Xueming, occupying the upper echelons of the industry.
But he wasn’t aiming to befriend these directors for resources, so he didn’t care about these two.
However, since Lin Xueming was here, it would be impolite not to greet him.
"I’ll go say hello to Director Lin." He stepped directly towards the small side reception room.
"Director Lin and the others are here too, will you go say hello?" Yang Rongfa leaned over and whispered.
