Dao's popularity relies entirely on his works. It's not that he's inferior to Gong, but rather that he hasn't been famous for long enough for his fans to be loyal.
Therefore, within about half an hour, Gong's work appeared on the top five list.
Such a rapid advancement gave hope to many netizens who supported Gong.
"Go for it, Gong will definitely defeat Dao."
"I guess it won't take Gong half an hour to surpass Dao."
"Half an hour? I feel like I can surpass it in ten minutes."
"Don't be ridiculous, we're only in fifth place right now, it's not that easy."
"Look at the gap between second and first place now. Ten minutes is absolutely impossible, but half an hour is still possible."
"It will take about half an hour to an hour. We should have faith in Gong's abilities."
"..."
Netizens are speculating about how long it will take for Gong to surpass Dao.
Some guessed for ten minutes.
Some people spent half an hour speculating.
Some people speculated for an hour.
No matter how much time passes, nothing can stop the palace's rise.
Seeing the Palace's unstoppable momentum, Chinese netizens were somewhat flustered.
"We must not be surpassed. It was so hard to get this first place."
"It's all Dao's fault. If he hadn't been so arrogant, why would Gong have made a move?"
"Even if Dao doesn't reply, Gong will still take action. What you think is a discussion is actually a declaration."
"That's right, I'm telling you this so you can be prepared, but even if you're prepared, you might not be able to defeat the palace."
"Prepare for what? Prepare to die. I see the potential of this work has reached its limit. It's time for Miya to perform."
At this moment, Gong's work has successfully secured second place and is getting closer and closer to first place.
For some reason, the rate of growth that was previously 100 points has now dropped to only 50 points.
Gong's speed, which was originally 50, has now reached 150, and the huge gap is gradually narrowing the index between the two sides.
Animation group of four.
Xiao Wen said, "It's a pity. If Gong had been a few days later, the Dao's momentum would probably have been established, and it wouldn't be as easy to shake as it is now."
“Yes, Tao’s foundation is still too shallow. It has to be said that Miyazaki is still the leader in animated films, and its appeal is far beyond what Pixar can match,” Xiao Guang said.
"They've already been overtaken. Gong is currently in first place. Although they've only overtaken him by a small margin, the gap between them and Dao is gradually widening," Xiaoli said.
"Who would have thought that Gong would have a second work?" Xiaoqing sighed.
“Even Tom has produced a second work, so there’s no reason for Miyazaki not to. The difference is that originally, the second works of both sides were a contest between two individuals, but now it has become a contest between two paths,” Xiao Wen analyzed.
"Hey, do you guys think Dao might be able to come up with a new work?" Just then, Xiao Guang suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"What?" Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise.
"How is that possible!" Xiaoqing exclaimed in astonishment.
Xiao Wen immediately asserted, "Impossible. Good works aren't something you can just take whenever you want. Besides, it has to be a work that can defeat Gong. I estimate it will take another ten years before Dao can produce one."
"I only said it's possible, not certain. Besides, Dao has already produced four parts, so it's not impossible for him to produce another one," Xiao Guang said.
"Wait a minute, haven't we been overlooking something all along? That is, the Dao's reply," Xiaoli suddenly said.
Upon hearing Xiaoli's words, the three of them trembled violently, recalling Dao's reply.
"You mean to say that Dao definitely has a backup plan?" Xiao Wen asked.
"Of course, that goes without saying, otherwise why would Dao reply like that?" Xiao Guang said excitedly.
Xiaoqing also said, "Maybe they really have prepared it. Even if there aren't two parts, there must be one. Otherwise, how could Dao possibly defeat Gong?"
"Thinking about it that way, it actually makes some sense," Xiaowen said after a moment's thought.
With this in mind, hope was rekindled in the hearts of the four.
They are waiting, waiting for the release of Dao's work, along with many other netizens from China.
Currently, the world's trending topics are all about the palace and his animated short film, "Castle in the Sky."
Tom, what do you think?
In a study, Pixar asked Tom a question.
Although the two are quite different in age, they are very good friends.
Today, Pixar came to visit Tom. After dinner, Pixar followed Tom to the study.
As we chatted, the conversation turned to the recent heated rivalry between Dao and Gong.
"What else can we do but watch quietly?" Tom said nonchalantly.
"The palace has regained the throne, and this time, he'll probably be number one again," Pixar said helplessly.
Tom curled his lip after hearing this and said, "You've seen his work too. It not only blends our style but also the Japanese style. It's not scary to combine these two styles, but what's scary is that they can blend them so perfectly. Miyako's strength is even greater than before."
“I used to be able to compete with him, but now it seems that he has made great progress in the past few years, and he is much older than me.”
"You mean it's destined to be a loss?" Pixar's friend greatly admired Miyazaki, and he had also seen Miyazaki's latest animated short film, knowing how formidable Miyazaki was.
But judging from Tom's tone, it seems that Gong will win the match regardless of whether he speaks or not.
Upon hearing this, Tom shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. If you had studied the history of Dao's rise to power carefully, you would know that Dao's strength should not be underestimated."
