Chapter 30-030 You really don't know? What are you stealing?
Chapter Thirty
When the production team of "The Prosperous World" made its official announcement, Sang Zi was planning to go to the movies with her friends. Now she didn't have to hesitate anymore. She bought two tickets for "The Prosperous World" and went to the cinema with her friends, each holding a cup of milk tea.
Even now, Sang Zi has wondered why Lin Yuan hasn't made any move.
Hehe, Lin Yuan finally has a new job!
When she arrived at the theater, there weren't many viewers yet. Sang Zi guessed that she was probably the only one there who came specifically for Lin Yuan.
Actually, Lin Yuan hadn't retweeted the official Weibo post from the "Prosperous World" production team yet. He was slow, just like the feeling she got from Lin Yuan himself—when it was time to show himself, he was always slow.
Like an otter.
In terms of attack power alone, it's more like a kangaroo; one punch can knock one down.
Once everyone had arrived, the movie began.
Sang Zi went to the cinema to hear the final theme song, but once the movie started, she was also immersed in the story.
"The World of Prosperity" tells the story of a brother and sister separated during wartime who eventually end up on the same path. The brother travels to various places, while the sister meets her wealthy aunt's family. Although the two have never seen each other since their separation and their living environments are completely different, the brother and sister make the same choice.
They met many people along the way.
There was a wealthy merchant's son who was not yet 20 years old. He gave up his life of luxury and risked his life in a foreign land. It was not until many years later that his elder brother found his grave.
Some girls who fought hard to get the opportunity to study chose to stay when faced with the chance to study abroad—going abroad could certainly provide refuge, but if their hometown fell, they would be in a foreign land no matter where they went.
While "The Prosperous World" focuses on this brother and sister, it tells a story of a group of characters.
Halfway through the movie, Sangzi couldn't hold back her tears.
The film is titled "A Prosperous World," but to be precise, it is a story about a prosperous world before it became a prosperous world.
At the end of the movie, on the black screen, white text reads "XXX rests here in peace." This is the character's final fate, yet it makes one feel that the character, so profoundly portrayed in the film, only had such a short life.
In the grand scheme of history, this may well be just a thin page.
As the screen filled with white text, a male voice rang in Sangzi's ears—
"It takes ten years to plant a tree to support the sky."
"Ten years to save a heart, hearts linked together."
This is a sound that can bring tears to your eyes.
The somber tone, like a dark, oppressive sky, conveyed all the listener's emotions.
"I don't want you to miss the beautiful scenery of this bustling world."
"The green grass breaking through the soil, the surging waves of wheat, the mountains and rivers, and the chirping of cicadas."
Sangzi's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, could no longer be suppressed.
She could completely understand what the song was about.
Although the song doesn't explicitly mention the word "love," every single note is filled with love.
Although Lin Yuan sings very few songs, every single one—in Sang Zi's eyes—is one that no one else but him can handle.
"Hot" is no exception.
The ending of "The Prosperous World" with "Hot" is most appropriate, as the heaviness and brokenness in Lin Yuan's voice blends perfectly with the atmosphere of the film.
"Can you please stop crying?" a friend couldn't help but complain. "We've run out of tissues."
"I just can't help it," Sang Zi sniffed. "Let me calm down."
...
Industry insiders predicted that "The World of Prosperity" would not have a low box office. In fact, after the preview screenings, the film's reputation spread at an unexpected speed, and when it was officially released, the box office grew exponentially by hundreds of millions.
Although "The World of Prosperity" is not a traditional blockbuster commercial film, and its daily box office can exceed 100 million yuan, it is not the type that can easily reach 500 million or 1 billion yuan. However, audiences who like this film will like it very much, and "Hot" has also gradually gained popularity.
Tell me quickly, what's the name of this song?
"I didn't leave until the theme song finished playing, it was so good!"
"I'll continue to recommend Lin Yuan. I got hooked on 'Heart's Desire', and after finishing 'The Prosperous World,' I realized, isn't this an old acquaintance of mine?"
Since the first day of the official release of "The Prosperous World", Lin Yuan's inbox has been flooded with contract offers.
He may have underestimated the influence of the song "Hot" - after the release of "The Prosperous World", "Hot" was also officially launched on the music platform "Mang".
The Mang platform initially paid limited attention to this song, as the box office performance of "Prosperous World" was still uncertain, and Lin Yuan was a complete newcomer singer.
However, on its first day of release, "Hot" debuted in the top ten of the new song charts, and its momentum thereafter was unstoppable.
Top ten on the new song chart.
Number one on the new song chart.
Top ten on the monthly list.
On the play count chart, "Hot" squeezed out a certain singer's hit song, first appearing in the top three of monthly play counts, and then slowly rising to number one.
The speed was so fast that the platform was not even mentally prepared.
Many fans didn't even listen to this song because of "Prosperous World".
I heard a bit of it by chance, and it's so incredibly good!
"I was drawn here by 'Heart's Desire'. Someone in the video comments section recommended 'Hot' so I came over."
"...Has no one considered releasing an album for Lin Yuan? I feel like he's an amazing singer."
—No company is currently considering releasing an album for Lin Yuan, but the Mango TV platform has increased its promotional efforts for the song "Hot".
Even on a major music platform like Mango, few songs have seen their popularity rise so rapidly.
Moreover, "Hot" also brought a batch of new users to the platform.
Lin Yuan himself did not expect "Hot" to be so popular, but he did not expect that the existence of the song "Hot" would seriously hinder one of his contemporaries.
While "Hot" was being released on Mango TV, Zhang Xiaoyue also released her new single "In a Hurry".
After "Star Road to Tomorrow" ended, Lin Yuan and the members of Wink never crossed paths again. The development of the debut group and the non-debut group in the entertainment industry is like heaven and earth. Especially in the first year after Wink was formed, the group was a top traffic group. Lin Yuan was just a nobody. It would be too much for him to try to associate himself with Wink.
Among the Wink members, Xie Yu is the most discussed person, along with Lin Yuan, because of their debut ranking. Others occasionally mention Lin Yuan, but Zhang Xiaoyue is never mentioned.
This wasn't because he respected Lin Yuan, but because he didn't care about Lin Yuan at all. In his heart, Lin Yuan wasn't even worthy of being mentioned.
On Wink, Zhang Xiaoyue adopts a cool and aloof image, which is very popular with fans who believe he doesn't pander to them and is a true individualistic idol.
Zhang Xiaoyue deleted almost all the contact information of the contestants who did not debut from "The Road to Stardom".
The release date of "In a Hurry" coincided with that of "Hot".
At that time, "Mang" gave Zhang Xiaoyue a large portion of its content, with him as the opening screen image and "In a Hurry" in the center of the "New Song Release" section.
The platform anticipates that "In a Hurry" will easily surpass other singles in play count.
Although the Wink members are not as popular as they were three years ago, Zhang Xiaoyue has the most loyal fans among the eight members.
Although his aloofness and arrogance have always been criticized by fans of other members, in the eyes of Zhang Xiaoyue's fans, this is precisely a manifestation of Zhang Xiaoyue's unconventionality and class.
Xie Yu's behavior is too low-class, and Ji Xiaming is even more shameful.
Zhang Xiaoyue's management company also plans to use this opportunity for publicity—in any case, if the single tops the popularity charts, it will still prove Zhang Xiaoyue's influence in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Xiaoyue also saw the news of "Hot" going online, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Hot" did indeed debut in the top ten of the new song chart, but on the new song chart, his "In a Hurry" was number one!
Then, overnight, Zhang Xiaoyue received a notification from her agent on her phone—"In a Hurry" had dropped to second place on the new song chart.
The first is "Hot".
“It’s normal for a new movie to need buzz,” Zhang Xiaoyue said casually. “It’s probably just hype created by the production company.”
He didn't believe Lin Yuan had such influence.
Fans may just be listening to "Hot" for the first time, but in a while, "In a Hurry" will return to the top of the charts.
Zhang Xiaoyue's goal isn't even the new song chart; he's already eyeing the monthly chart.
For the song "In a Hurry," Zhang Xiaoyue did not put a link on his Weibo homepage. He wanted to create an effect where the song could easily reach the top of the charts without any promotion.
He had succeeded several times before.
However, since "In a Hurry" lost its number one spot on the new song chart, Zhang Xiaoyue took the initiative to post a link to promote it.
The fans in the comments section are making a strong call.
"A long-awaited new song!"
"We said we wanted to hear a new song, and here it is! Yueyue is indeed the sweetest girl who loves her fans the most!"
"Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, that's exactly Xiaoyue in her nature."
As is customary, Zhang Xiaoyue doesn't even need to give any hints before fans are already rallying for him—the popularity of "In a Hurry" is probably not a concern.
It's always been the same; he always manages to get the ranking he wants with ease.
However, the next day, Zhang Xiaoyue discovered that "In a Hurry" was still second on the new song chart. The only difference from yesterday was that yesterday, "Hot" had only tens of thousands more plays than "In a Hurry," but today "Hot" had twice as many plays as "In a Hurry."
Zhang Xiaoyue: "..."
After he promoted it, the popularity of "In a Hurry" clearly doubled!
By this time, Zhang Xiaoyue's fans naturally knew that "Cangcang" was being crushed by "Re" on the new song chart. The fans were unwilling to let Zhang Xiaoyue suffer, so in an instant, various fan groups sprang into action, promoting the song and increasing clicks... After a flurry of activity, "Re" had been playing twice as many songs as "Cangcang," but now it had been playing three times as many songs!
Zhang Xiaoyue's fans: "..."
Even more outrageous is that the number of views for "Hot" is still rising.
The new song chart only lasts for one week. During this week, fans watched helplessly as "Hot" went from being within reach to being out of reach. The harder they tried, the further they got from number one.
The homepage is now heavily advertised as belonging to Lin Yuan, and even the top spot on the monthly chart has been easily taken by "Hot".
The key point is that Lin Yuan knew nothing about this; from beginning to end, only Zhang Xiaoyue's fans were working hard.
This feeling is awful.
Lin Yuan probably doesn't know that Zhang Xiaoyue released the song "In a Hurry".
The truth is—
Lin Yuan genuinely didn't know, but the others at Wink did, and their fans did too.
For example, Ji Xiaming has a very clear understanding of this matter.
Since Ji Xiaming participated in "The Sound of Music", he has become the target of ridicule from Wink's other fans, with Zhang Xiaoyue's fans being the most vocal in their mockery.
This time, Ji Xiaming didn't hold back in showing off his record of dominating the top spot on the new song chart a while ago: "Maybe it's because I'm popular."
Zhang Xiaoyue's fans: "?"
One day, Lin Yuan logged onto Weibo and found that the online battle between Ji Xiaming and Zhang Xiaoyue's fans was trending again.
"Why are they fighting again?" Lin Yuan remarked. "Is it really that interesting to fight every day?"
Tian Yi: "? You really don't know?"
"Is this something I need to do?"
"?"
Lin Yuan: "...You stole the water bottle before, and the eyeshadow last time, what are you going to steal this time?"
