In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and it's now August 9th.
It's been five days since Cai Kun's new song was released, and six days since Cai Yiyi's new song was released, marking one month's anniversary.
The number of paying users on both sides has basically stabilized, with the difference between them being enormous.
"As of August 9th, Cai Yiyi's new song 'Tomorrow' has 1.07 million paid subscribers, with a paid subscription rate of 52%."
"As of August 9th, Cai Kun's new song 'Kimi' has 1.58 million paid subscribers, with a paid subscription rate of 64%."
The difference is 410,000, an extremely large disparity.
Upon seeing this vast difference in status, Cai Yiyi's fans all fell silent.
It was only at this moment that Cai Yiyi's fans truly witnessed the cohesion of Cai Kun's fans.
No matter what methods they use, no matter how hard they try to catch up, they can only watch helplessly as the gap widens.
Some fans couldn't stand Cai Yiyi's tolerance, and even more so the ridicule and belittling from Cai Kun's fans, and ultimately chose to unfollow her.
Not only did the number of members in the fan group plummet, but even Cai Yiyi's Weibo fans were affected, with hundreds of thousands of fans unfollowing her.
Compared to the inflated number of followers, these unfollowed fans are genuinely active fans, with almost no inactive or fake followers.
With the decrease in the number of fans, Cai Yiyi's popularity will inevitably decline, which is clearly visible in the decrease in the popularity of her Weibo super topic.
Weibo super topic popularity is a unique tool that most directly reflects a celebrity's popularity.
Although it is limited to Weibo, it has actually become an unwritten benchmark in the industry.
Discussions about this matter have not stopped on major music platforms.
"I heard that many of Cai Yiyi's fans have unfollowed her. Wouldn't it have been better if this had happened earlier? Why did they have to wait until they faced reality?"
"The difference of 500,000 is enough to say everything; Cai Yiyi is no longer good enough."
"I used to be a fan of Cai Yiyi and didn't care much for Cai Kun, but after listening to his songs, I really discovered a treasure."
Cai Kun's fans arrogantly commented under Cai Yiyi's new song. Although many of Cai Yiyi's fans disapproved, they were powerless to refute them.
In particular, these comments that belittled Tsai Yi-yi received more likes than the highest number of likes from Tsai Yi-yi's fans on what should have been her home turf!
This made Tsai Yi-yi's fans realize that Tsai Yi-yi had lost this battle utterly.
Demei Company.
Inside the meeting room.
The assistant's roar could be heard.
"What! The brand wants to terminate its cooperation with Yiyi?"
Everyone fell silent, staring solemnly at the assistant.
The assistant ignored him, his face frosty.
"This is a breach of contract, and breaches of contract require the payment of penalties!"
"They'd rather pay a penalty for breach of contract than cooperate with Yiyi? Are they out of their minds?"
"Enough! What does this have to do with Yiyi?"
Snap!
The assistant hung up the phone and sat down in his seat, huffing and puffing.
Everyone stared at the assistant, whose face showed hesitation.
For a moment, she didn't know how to face Cai Yiyi.
A colleague from the brand development department just called to tell her that the well-known clothing brand that had previously signed with Cai Yiyi is preparing to terminate its contract with her.
The other party also made it clear that they would terminate their cooperation with Cai Yiyi even if it meant paying a penalty, and the penalty has now been directly deposited into the company's account.
Prior to this, the assistant had not heard any news, and it was clear that the other party was unwilling to tell her and Cai Yiyi, and directly contacted the company to terminate the contract.
What's even more infuriating is that the colleagues in the brand development department pinned the blame on them.
They said they had worked hard to find this collaboration, but ended up losing a major client because of Tsai Yi-yi.
The assistant was furious. The client valued Cai Yiyi's fame, which had nothing to do with the brand development department.
"Yiyi..." The assistant waved to signal the others to leave first.
"I heard everything. Is Baida planning to terminate my contract?" Cai Yiyi asked.
Upon hearing this, the assistant fell silent. She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
But Cai Yiyi kept looking at her, seemingly waiting for her reply.
Taking a deep breath, the assistant nodded and said, "That's what the brand department said."
"But Yiyi, don't rush."
"I think they might have made a mistake. What company would rather pay a penalty to terminate a contract?"
"I know the people in HR at Baita, so I'll call them myself and ask them."
As the assistant was speaking, she was about to take out her phone to make a call, but Cai Yiyi stopped her.
"No."
“Yiyi…” The assistant looked at the silent Cai Yiyi and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Cai Yiyi raised her head, her beautiful eyes falling on her assistant, and asked, "Why did you terminate the contract?"
"This..." The assistant stammered and remained silent after hearing this.
"explain."
Cai Yiyi suddenly emphasized her tone.
After hearing this, the assistant sighed inwardly and said, "They said that Baita doesn't collaborate with singers who aren't top-tier."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yiyi swayed involuntarily, feeling a buzzing in her mind.
"Yiyi..." The assistant noticed Cai Yiyi's state and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine, you can go out now." Cai Yiyi rubbed her eyes.
The assistant nodded: "Then I'll go out first. If you have any questions, just tell me."
After her assistant left, Cai Yiyi slumped into a chair, gazed at the light, and slowly closed her eyes.
At that moment, she felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
...
Halfway up Mount Tai.
During this time, Zhou Tianyi took An Yutang sightseeing.
They planned to visit all the scenic spots depicted on the 100-yuan, 20-yuan, 10-yuan, 5-yuan, and 1-yuan banknotes.
