Three days later, May 24th.
There are still five days until the release of "No Way Out".
There are still eight days until "Crazy Stone" is released.
These days, the entertainment industry's focus has been on a PK between newcomers and "newcomers".
One of them is Wan Mu, a signed singer of Ai Yao Studio. He has only released two songs in total and is a true newcomer in the music industry.
The other is Zhang Xuyuan, a self-proclaimed "newcomer" who became famous for his "gentleness" and relied on hype to become a top star.
In order to gain sympathy, Zhang Xuyuan's fans previously accused Lin Yao of bullying the weak and forcibly called this top star who debuted for two years a newcomer.
After Wan Mu posted that declaration of war on Weibo, Zhang Xuyuan's somewhat biased title of "newcomer" was quoted by many media outlets.
They even called this competition the "Battle of the New King of Music."
As a platform for the two to compete with each other in their new songs, "Crazy Stone" and "End of the Road" have also become the focus of people's attention.
The two films are also being compared more and more.
Of course, the result of the comparison is the same as that between Wan Mu and Zhang Xuyuan, with the latter being more favored.
Comparing the singers of promotional songs, although Wan Mu's two works were both very popular, his own popularity is not high, and he is several levels lower than the top young idols.
Zhang Xuyuan’s fans also shouted slogans online early on that they wanted to buy out Brother Yuan’s new song.
Wanmu seemed very calm. Apart from posting a powerful Weibo post that day, there was no further news from him.
Comparing the two, most people naturally prefer Zhang Xuyuan.
"Although Zhang Xuyuan's songs are average, as long as his fans are strong, Wan Mu has basically no chance of winning, unless Wan Mu's songs can once again reach the level of "Queen" and "Because of Love."
This is the prediction of many music critics.
When comparing movies, the gap is even greater.
The trailer for "No Way Out" has grand scenes and explosive special effects. Although it is difficult to tell what the plot is going to be, for this kind of movie, the special effects are enough to watch.
The trailer for "Crazy Stone" is much simpler, without any special effects. It just looks like a very ordinary comedy.
"Based on the trailer alone, I would buy a ticket to see The End of the Road."
"I feel that when I go to the cinema, I should watch movies with good special effects, and I can just watch feature films at home in the future."
"You can go watch 'The End of the Road' first, and then wait for the ratings of 'Crazy Stone' to come out before making a decision."
After watching the trailers of the two movies, many netizens basically planned to watch "No Way Out" first.
Of course, this is just a preliminary judgment. The final box office results will still depend on the reputation of the movie after its release.
Today is the day when the promotional songs of the two movies are released, and people regard this as an early confrontation between the two movies.
Twelve o'clock noon.
Zhang Xuyuan’s new song is available on major music platforms.
The song is called "Fortress".
It is a song based on the content of the movie.
Zhang Xuyuan's long-awaited fans flocked to major platforms to buy this song.
In order to increase sales, many people registered multiple accounts.
Zhang Xuyuan's fans started to make crazy calls in various fan groups:
"Everyone buy at least fifty tickets. If you can't afford that, don't call yourself a fan! How much are fifty tickets? It's just a dress. Don't you think your love for my brother is worth less than a dress?"
"Before 5pm, everyone should post a screenshot of the 50 tickets they bought to the group. If you didn't buy enough, please leave the group! I'm embarrassed for you all!"
Most of Zhang Xuyuan's fans are primary and secondary school students, and they do not have strong financial resources. A single usually costs about five to eight yuan, and buying fifty copies costs 250 to 400 yuan.
For students, one hundred yuan may still be within their affordability, but if it exceeds two hundred to four hundred yuan, it would be a bit of a stretch.
As a result, many of Zhang Xuyuan’s fans began to complain:
"I can only afford ten tickets. What should I do?"
"I want to go out for a barbecue with my friends tonight. Can I just buy five tickets?"
"My mom only gave me fifty yuan in pocket money, and my brother costs eight yuan for each song. If I buy six, is that enough?"
Soon, these people were scolded by the fans:
"Get out! I don't have as many poor fans as you!"
"If you like me, you have to give up all hobbies that require money. Your money is no longer yours, but is used to boost my sales! Eat barbecue? Eat you?!"
"Your mother only gave you fifty yuan because she knew you were boosting sales for your brother? You still want a mother like that?"
Then, those who couldn't afford the money were kicked out of the group by the fan leaders, and it was announced that these people would be expelled from the fan group.
Of course, there were also many students from wealthy families who bought fifty or even hundreds of tickets. Some even went home and stole their parents' money to boost sales for their beloved brother.
He even proudly showed in the group how he stole money for his brother, which drew cheers and praise from other crazy fans.
Just like that, around five in the afternoon, the song "Fortress" finally struggled to reach the second place on the new song list and the third place on the hot song list.
Because Xu Ningxin also released a new song recently, the popularity of the all-round little queen is naturally no less than Zhang Xuyuan, and the quality of her new song is much higher than this "Fortress".
Not only do her fans strongly support her, but passers-by who really like to listen to her songs are also willing to pay for it.
Therefore, Xu Ningxin's new song firmly occupies the first place on both charts, making it difficult for Zhang Xuyuan to surpass it in a short period of time.
But for Zhang Xuyuan's fans, this is already a surprise enough.
This is the first time that Brother Yuan’s new song has reached the top three on both charts within five hours.
What does this mean?
This shows that Brother Yuan’s music, which is at the forefront of the times, has not only won major awards abroad, but has also finally been recognized in China.
This is a historic breakthrough!
"Where's Wan Mu, the one who claimed that one song crushed all of Yuan Ge's songs?"
"Brother Yuan has already released a new song, why is Wanmu silent?"
"Seeing that Brother Yuan's new song is so popular, are you playing dead?"
Seeing their idol's new song perform so well, Zhang Xuyuan's fans flocked to Wan Mu's Weibo and mocked him.
"What's going on? Why hasn't Wanmu's new song been released yet?"
"Are you really not sure about your own songs?"
"Wanmu's singing skills are still fine. I guess it's because it was rushed, the quality of the new song is really average."
"Oh, this is a bit embarrassing. I shouldn't have been so impulsive."
Many netizens and music critics waited from noon to five in the afternoon, but Wan Mu’s new song still had not been released, and they couldn’t help but start to get suspicious.
Just when more and more people were becoming disappointed with Wan Mu and thought he was really afraid before the battle, a link to a new song finally appeared on the homepages of major music platforms.
