Chapter 743 - 507: No Longer Daring to Invite

This statement was undoubtedly quite harsh, essentially directly pointing a finger at Wu Mu, saying he was not capable as a person.

A slight stir rose in the room.

Nevertheless, the main subject, Wu Mu, was naturally unfazed. What’s wrong with him as a person? He thinks he’s doing just fine.

However, continuing to stir things up could indeed exceed the limits, so Wu Mu didn’t keep putting pressure on Lin Xueming and simply spread his hands and laughed, "Director Lin, please don’t misunderstand, I’m really saying this out of goodwill, if you don’t want to listen, forget it."

This person is truly disgusting.

At this moment, Lin Xueming experienced the sensation that countless people often had towards Wu Mu.

Wu Mu sat down, and the gala continued.

The host, already sweating bullets, quickly shifted the topic to steer the gala forward.

But at this point, clearly, no one was interested in what the gala was about anymore.

Everyone kept glancing at Wu Mu from time to time, and then at Lin Xueming, whispering to each other occasionally.

Clearly, they were still focused on the earlier incident.

Seated in the front row, X’s chairman, Cao Wei, was no exception. His expression wasn’t pleasant either, as it was undoubtedly embarrassing for such an incident to occur at an event hosted by his company.

He frowned and asked the Chief Operating Officer, Chen Yong, sitting beside him, "What was that about, causing such a scene?"

What could Chen Yong say at this point? He had known Wu Mu was uncontrollable for a long time, but he hadn’t expected him to be this uncontrollable!

He could only give a wry smile and say, "That’s just how Wu Mu is, it’s not the first time he’s caused such a commotion. He once publicly scolded someone on a television program... Perhaps this time, it’s related to his ex-girlfriend?"

Cao Wei frowned at him, his ex-girlfriend?

Although Cao Wei had seen Wu Mu’s name in various company reports, including signing off on the proposal for this X Night,

But as the chairman of such a large platform, he obviously couldn’t concern himself with every celebrity artist, so he only had a general understanding of Wu Mu.

As the Chief Operating Officer, Chen Yong understood these details better. He explained, "Wu Mu’s ex-girlfriend is Director Lin’s daughter, and rumors in the circle say that the breakup between Wu Mu and Director Lin’s daughter was due to Director Lin."

Is there such gossip?

Cao Wei was slightly stunned, completely surprised to learn that the two nearly coming to blows had such a relationship behind it.

So does this make it personal?

But if you want to argue, do it privately; what are you trying to achieve by making a scene at their event?

Cao Wei shook his head in disapproval, "Nonsense, is today’s X King him? Take him off, replace him with someone else."

If this sort of thing isn’t handled, people will think their X event is a marketplace, doing whatever one pleases.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Chen Yong quickly waved his hands in a rush, "Mr. Cao, we can’t just take him off like that."

Hmm?

Cao Wei looked at him with confusion.

Chen Yong hurriedly explained, "If we take him off now, he might leave the venue immediately."

"Then let him leave!" Cao Wei was increasingly displeased. This was getting out of hand. If an artist dared to pull such antics, he might as well be blacklisted across the entire platform if he wants to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yong still smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We can’t let him leave; he still has a performance to do shortly. We had planned to announce next year’s various charity plans to coordinate with his performance, and without this segment, the event won’t flow smoothly."

Is handling this person still this troublesome?

Now even Cao Wei felt a little disgusted. Not dealing with it is unsettling, but handling it causes a heap of issues.

Cao Wei had no choice but to suppress the idea of dealing with Wu Mu on the spot and said straightforwardly, "In the future, don’t ever invite him to any platform events."

"Hmm."

Now Chen Yong no longer shook his head, not daring to invite him ever again.

And at this moment, backstage, Fan Wen, monitoring the entire scene, also had the same thought.

Although this year’s X Night soared to unprecedented heights in terms of both audience and hype, he had no joy in his heart at the moment, only sweat trickling down his forehead.

He’s already worried about whether he’ll face repercussions after the gala ends, considering such a big stir was caused.

But truth be told, the buzz from swapping hats is indeed frightening.

Thirty-two million live viewers on the entire platform!

In just this moment, the audience count increased by over ten million more than during the red carpet!

Forget about past X Nights; this achievement ranks high even compared to New Year’s galas on major satellite channels, excluding CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala!

All drawn in from various places to watch the drama unfold.

At this moment, the barrage messages on the monitor in front of him weren’t just thick; they even started to lag a bit!

"Whoa, whoa! Directly saying at X Night that the big director’s movie is bound to flop!? Wu Gou, you truly have some guts!"

"How can anyone be this daring! Doesn’t Wu Gou fear being blacklisted across the entire platform?"

"Wu Gou is indeed a troublemaker! Every time I think it’s Wu Gou’s limit, he proves to be far from it!"

Everyone was already shocked.

Although this wasn’t the first time Wu Mu had done something like this, this wasn’t a televised program live stream from before.

This was X Night, with numerous social elites in attendance, even the chairman of X sitting there.

Anyone would naturally worry about whether such actions would cause the X chairman to dislike them, right?

"Looks like there’s definitely some inside story behind Wu Gou and Little Director Lin’s breakup. From the looks of it, Little Director Lin’s dad must have done something, otherwise, Wu Gou wouldn’t show such a face."

"And Wu Gou really knows how to treat people, when Sun Yueqing slightly defended against Director Lin’s dad, he immediately worried about Sun Yueqing being affected in the industry in the future, stepping up to defend Sun Yueqing.

"Indeed, I never really admired the Wu Gou-Sun Yueqing pairing much before, but now I’ve started to see the appeal; their relationship is truly strong, mutually backing each other, neither of them yielding."

"Aside from having a knack for fleecing people, Wu Gou’s character is genuinely solid; having a friend like him means never worrying about betrayal."

The barrage was flooded, full of discussions about Wu Mu’s boldness, the situation with Lin Qingyue, and Sun Yueqing.

But not everyone supported him.

With so many viewers now, naturally, there are many who aren’t very familiar with Wu Mu.

For them, thanks to Lin Xueming’s consistently good reputation, they felt Wu Mu’s actions weren’t very appropriate.

"Isn’t this guy a bit over the top? Saying someone’s movie is bound to fail publicly is like slapping them in the face."

"Judging by what people are saying, there might be reasons, but even if there are, there’s no need to make it so ugly; Lin Xueming has always had a good reputation in the industry. Why couldn’t this be said in private?"

"Right, it’s just that Director Lin is being considerate about the impact, or else this guy would have been kicked out, wouldn’t he?"

And not just those who don’t know Wu Mu, even among those who do, some thought his actions were not good.

"I feel like Wu Gou is being overly praised by everyone, he can leave the country at any time for development, naturally not caring whether domestic platforms will blacklist him. But continuing like this might not be beneficial for him."

"Right, causing such a scene on a live broadcast frequently, what if one day he’s on the Spring Festival Gala, will he also make a scene like this?"

Yet there were also those supporting and explaining for him.

"Though Wu Gou is often on edge, if you carefully observe him, you’ll find he controls himself within boundaries, never mindlessly spewing, just deliberately pushing limits to irritate everyone."

"Wu Gou wasn’t wrong before either, wasn’t it right to scold Li Zhengxun? And today, he didn’t even insult anyone, just expressed his thoughts. Think about it, if Wu Gou were an esteemed, elder figure in the industry, wouldn’t everyone consider it fine, it’s just that they think Wu Gou is young."

"Yeah, I think Wu Gou wasn’t wrong in his comments, his words were quite reasonable. If Lin Xueming truly can’t shoot ’Dawn Star Plan’, then isn’t this just honest advice?"

In any case, there was a plethora of opinions.

The barrage had already become a chaotic pot of porridge.

But without the chaos, the buzz wouldn’t be this high.

And at the scene, things around Wu Mu were a bit chaotic too.
