After the third episode was recorded, the production team sped up the editing while also releasing a trailer.
Once again, the primary focus was on Wu Mu.
Wu Feng discovered that Wu Mu was simply too useful; just having Wu Mu's name attached made the popularity soar.
It's not that Wu Mu had gotten past the scandal impact and gained fans again.
It's purely because Wu Mu's followers were far too complex.
Anti-fans, casual fans, skeptical ones, those with changed impressions, and those simply attracted by the show who thought he had talent...
Basically, all sorts of people were following him.
These people could easily argue over differing opinions, and once the arguments started, the popularity naturally went up.
Plus, Wu Mu's performances were impressive enough on their own, making them highly topical and easier to promote.
