These flash-forward scenes were a response to Han Yan’s question about whether Wu Mu actually studied besides playing around.
He was indeed working hard on his studies, hmm, although the direction of his studies seemed a bit odd.
No, wait a second, do you even remember that you’re a celebrity?
And do the show’s producers not remember this is a music variety competition?
It appeared that the host remembered, as she finally couldn’t resist asking, "Wu Mu, why aren’t you preparing for the next round of the competition?"
Wu Mu looked bewildered, staring at her strangely, "Why should I prepare anything? Just pick a song, submit it, rehearse, and then directly sing it during the competition, right?"
"Yue Li, are you nervous about the next competition?"
"A bit nervous... This stage is really different from the past. Everyone here is a powerful singer, all better than you. If you don’t work hard, you could easily end up at the bottom."
"What do you think about being at the bottom last round?"
"I’m unwilling to accept it. I know my voice has declined a bit compared to when I was younger, but I still don’t want to lose."
The external filming crew was interviewing Yue Li, and she seemed different compared to her seemingly indifferent demeanor on the show.
Privately, it was clear she placed great emphasis and effort, busying herself with song selection and practice for the upcoming show all day long.
All strong singers, none wanted to lose; losing would not only be a loss of face but would also genuinely affect their popularity with the public and fans.
Pre-competition footage of each singer was shown.
All were busy preparing and practicing. Latest content published on novel-fire.net
Even Yi Junxi was spotted by the filming crew in the practice room.
And they managed to interview him, drenched in sweat, during a break from his intensive practice.
With earnestness on his face, he said, "I don’t like to mix too many other things into singing. Singing should be just about singing, speaking through talent. This round, I won’t lose."
All contestants had their moments showcased, then the shot cut again.
The camera returned to Wu Mu’s house.
No longer able to contain herself, Lu Yao was happily controlling a robotic dog, bouncing around, occasionally directing it to bump into Wu Mu, her face displaying pure, carefree joy.
As for Wu Mu, at this time, he was reclining on the sofa, gaming.
The host didn’t speak over this shot, but the sunlight streaming through the window and the peaceful scene spoke volumes.
After pausing on this shot for two seconds, the screen suddenly switched to the stage, "Welcome to the second round of Legendary Voice, I’m your host..."
Han Yan couldn’t help laughing out loud, "This production team is too doggy, definitely cutting it this way on purpose. What are they trying to say? Everyone else is striving hard, and Wu the dog wins the game by just playing games?"
It was a blatant ploy for dramatic effect, drawing animosity towards Wu.
"Look at what the bullet comments are saying!" She opened the bullet comments, somewhat expectantly.
The comments had already flooded in.
"If I hadn’t watched the live broadcast, I would definitely have criticized Wu the dog for being fake. Everyone else is working hard, and you’re not? Putting skill aside, is there any respect for the competition at all? After watching the live broadcast... if I had this skill, I would be just as laid-back! Lord won’t pretend; this round is a slaughter, chaos ensues!"
"Wu the dog really does everything behind the scenes, just not the proper job of a celebrity."
"If it was before, I would certainly find such a person disgusting, trying to set up a strong image without learning or practicing. But now... Wu the dog is really !"
"Ten-year hater here to testify, there’s not a bit of acting, it’s all real shots, so fitting for Wu the dog’s character."
Han Yan nodded contently, "Not being a fan, just watching for fun is incredibly satisfying."
Not being fans, there was no need to worry about whether Wu Mu’s actions would have any negative impact; if it looked bad, they would criticize him; if it was enjoyable, they would watch for fun.
Han Yan was thinking about closing the bullet comments and continuing to immerse herself in the show when suddenly the bullet comments went crazy with alerts of upcoming high energy.
What could be so intense so early on?
Zhang Li, who also hadn’t seen the live broadcast, looked equally puzzled.
Then the screen cut to the backstage rest area for the contestants, where Wu Mu, dressed like a non-mainstream rock singer, appeared on the screen.
Han Yan almost choked on her drink.
What kind of bizarre outfit was this?
But after the initial speechlessness, they took a careful look at the person on the screen, both of them paused.
"...Why does Wu the dog look even more handsome? Is it because of the change in outfit?" Han Yan tentatively asked.
Zhang Li was also hesitant, "I’ve never seen him dressed before."
Both had the notion that maybe it was the new fashion style that gave a fresh impression.
But the un-closed bullet comments provided an answer.
"It’s not because of the changed outfit at all! Wu the dog just got more handsome!"
"Exactly, I thought it was the style change at first too, but someone on Bilibili verified with an image cutout, Wu the dog’s face just became more attractive, don’t believe me, cover his body and just look at the face."
"I also saw that cutout verification video. This outfit change is actually having a negative effect. If you replace his clothes with his old ones, he actually looks even more striking than now."
Han Yan tried stretching out a finger to cover Wu Mu’s body, just looking at the face.
Then she found that indeed, it seemed even more striking.
