It seemed like Yang Zhongming’s approval had given Ol’ Zhou boundless confidence. Immediately aftre the post-production of the movie “Tuner” was completed, he couldn’t wait to take the finished film to negotiate screenings with the cinemas.

His efficiency was pretty high.

With the backing of Starlight and the heat generated by the film’s publicity, the movie had finally secured its release date for February 1st of this year under Ol’ Zhou’s hard work.

Just in time for the start of the new season.

Subsequently, Lin Yuan announced this news on the tribe. At the same time, he also released the poster and revealed more information about the movie, such as its genre. However, what the public was more interested in were the songs that would be featured in the movie.

“It’s finally been scheduled!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“The timing is just right!”

“It’s a suspense movie; I thought it would be a comedy like ‘Flirting Scholar.’ However, I’ll still go see it, it’s like Teacher Admirable Fish holding a concert in the film.”

“Add one for the comment above.”

“A good film can make a good song. I didn’t expect one day I would pay attention to a movie for its soundtrack. Teacher Admirable Fish is so crafty, he even said that the answer to his response can be found in the movie… ”

“Go Teacher Admirable Fish!”

“The film’s music better not disappoint, otherwise Chu people might go mad. If we don’t show them some colors, they might think our title as the Land of Music is undeserved.”

“…”

Everyone’s attention was guided, which was also related to the poster images published by Lin Yuan on his tribe status. In these nine poster images, the most prominent one is the male protagonist Liu Zhengwen playing the piano.

Playing the piano.

This scene naturally reminds people of Lin Yuan’s previous response and the upcoming music feud between Qin and Chu. It seems that the message hidden behind this poster is Admirable Fish’s weapon for the second season.

Besides encouragement from fans.

Admirable Fish’s tribe comment area also had a lot of comments from Chu people. Although they couldn’t be considered aggressive, they were somewhat defiant. Given that Admirable Fish never liked controlling comments, some sarcastic voices emerged here.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Is Maestro Junior from Great Qin really that good?”

“I advise you to give up the February battle.”

“We, Great Chu, sent out three maestros to compete. The only ones who can compete head-on with our maestros are your maestros from Great Qin. Maestro Junior and such should stop joining in the fun and devote themselves to their movie.”

“Is he a filmmaker or a musician?”

“This Maestro Junior from Great Qin just wants to ride on the heat, but you’re acting as if he’s really worth waiting for. His focus is on the film; he didn’t even intend to respond to the competition between Qin and Qi music.”

“February 1st, tut.”

“This is where this guy is smart. If his ranking doesn’t look good by then, Maestro Junior can completely argue that his song was created for the film’s theme. He didn’t even participate in the season’s competition. Anyway, my comment stays here; feel free to come back later to contradict.”

“…”

Everyone could see that Admirable Fish was smartly hitching a ride on the publicity train, a shrewd promotional move. Therefore, this theory had quite an audience for a time, and Admirable Fish’s comment area instantly became a battleground for Qin and Chu netizens.

During the dispute between both parties.

Starlight suddenly announced Yang Zhongming’s withdrawal from the February battle. The news was posted by the official account, and Yang Zhongming himself reposted it to express his position. This immediately stirred up a thousand-layer wave among Qin, Qi, and Chu!

“Why is Father Yang stepping down?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Father Yang, don’t give up!”

“Is Great Qin showing weakness? ”

“Hahahaha, isn’t Yang Zhongming considered one of the strongest maestros in Great Qin? Why is he chicken before the battle begins? He announced his participation not too long ago, and now he suddenly stops. Is this an admission of defeat?”

“What’s with Father Yang?”

“Father Yang must have his reasons for not participating. Don’t listen to those babbles from Chu people. When has Father Yang ever been afraid? Father Yang is the only maestro who is guaranteed to win a championship any time he competes!”

“…”

Perhaps the controversy was so great that it could affect Yang Zhongming’s reputation, so Starlight made a direct response: “In February, Starlight already has Teacher Admirable Fish participating, and after hearing Teacher Admirable Fish’s new work, Father Yang didn’t want to cause internal competition in the company. Maestro Junior is capable enough to handle everything. In March, Father Yang will officially step in. What’s destined to come will come (funny face).”

This shut the outsiders up.

The musical contest between Qin and Chu may last for a while. It’s not too strange for Yang Zhongming to choose to compete in March. However, this narrative again shifted all attention to Admirable Fish —

“Are they so confident in Admirable Fish?”

Not to mention the composers from Great Qin, even musicians from Great Chu were surprised. However, this also led to greater attention on the movie “Tuner.” From a publicity perspective, this movie cleverly rode the publicity wave, forming a binding effect on the attention!

If done well, a blockbuster movie sale!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

If not, Admirable Fish will crash under the hype!

It’s fair to say that no Blue Star movie has ever garnered such a massive publicity boost before its release like “The Tuner,” with millions spent on promotion, an effect you could only attain from countless sums of money. It was uproariously stirred up by a music battle.

Forget the music industry.

The film industry is also dumbfounded.

This Xian Yu is too audacious, last time he made “Flirting Scholar,” purely riding on the popularity of online big movies, it vividly competed with in-theatre movies. This time, he got such explosive publicity with super low cost!

Just so you know.

Even some big-budget movies screening in February, having burned tens of millions on publicity intending to catch the audience’s eye, falls short on promotional effect when compared to “The Tuner”!

But…

Isn’t he afraid of not being able to wrap up this big game in the end? If this doesn’t work out, it could be a total ruin of his reputation, much like the Celestial Dynasty’s delegates representing their district in a competition. Expectations are raised so high, carrying so many people’s hopes, a loss would undoubtedly lead to severe backlash!

There’s no doubt about that!

Even though Xian Yu has always been popular with the general public, this wave could land him in a disadvantageous position. This is also why despite feeling Lin Yuan’s confidence, Ol’ Zhou still insists Yang Zhongming have an extra layer of insurance.

Not to mention industry insiders.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Even Xian Yu’s fans could not help but sweat. There is a fan group named “Fish’s Joy,” where many fans were discussing “The Tuner” and the Qin-Qi music fight in February:

“Feels like it’s a big game.”

“It’s not ideal for Fish Papa to ride on the coattails of this hot wave, as Maestro does have a hand in the Chu side. Despite Fish Papa beating Maestro before, this time the Maestros have increased significantly. If it’s the Great Qin’s Maestro suppressing Fish Papa, it’s alright, but if it happens to be the Chu people suppressing Fish Papa, Fish Papa’s reputation will totally collapse!”

“Damn, I’m worried.”

“Isn’t high attention a good thing?”

Some felt confused about this stand.

Someone quickly explained in the group: “It’s not that high attention is bad, but it’s rather that Fish Papa is now placed on a pedestal. Out of a full score of 100 points, if Fish Papa can achieve 90 points at most, this round Fish Papa’s work must score 95 points to win hearts.”

There are many people who see through this.

In simple terms, Xian Yu originally planned to ride the wave, but the flame raged too fiercely. If he’s not careful, the heat could burn him. Playing with fire has always been risky.

“Indeed.”

“Even if Fish Papa presents another ‘Red Sun’, it wouldn’t help, especially after Father Yang suddenly announced his withdrawal. This made many outsiders put their bets on Fish Papa. But do you think it’s realistic for Fish Papa to slaughter a bunch of Maestros? Even as an obsessed fan, I dare not say such words.”

“…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The people in this group are all loyal fans of Xian Yu and have been following the matter since Xian Yu officially responded. They watched Xian Yu being raised to such a high position, naturally, there would be worries.

At this moment.

The group owner, Winter Plum Blossom appeared. The owner was said to be a mysterious tycoon who seldom spoke after creating the Xian Yu fan group — only popping up to distribute a bunch of red envelopes. Today was no different. First came a thousand bucks of red envelopes, then came the words: “Fish Papa has this under control.”

“Really?”

“Does Winter Plum Blossom have an inside scoop?”

“Fish Papa can stabilize this wave?”

With the group’s inquiries, Winter Plum Blossom sent another message: “I can’t reveal specifics, but I can tell you that you mustn’t miss ‘The Tuner.’ Otherwise, you’ll miss Fish Papa’s classic debut piano composition.”

“Classic debut?”

“What does it mean?”

“What’s the situation?”

People in the group continued to inquire, but Winter Plum Blossom did not show up anymore, leaving many in the group stunned and contemplative. Because the Winter Plum Blossom, this group owner, truly was mysterious, seemed to know some inside secrets and as though could get early access to Xian Yu’s works.

The outside world is rife with speculation.

The fire keeps getting bigger.

As the time moved into late January, the atmosphere of a big battle and an impending storm seemed to become increasingly intense. With Qin and Chu Maestros frequently seen, the Kings, and Queens of Singing refused to lag behind, imbuing the new season with a special meaning. The spectators from the Qi region described February as:

Battle of the Gods, an upgraded version!

Compared to last year’s dog betting frenzy, this upgraded Battle of the Gods, with the added territorial conflicts from the new state merger, is an unasked-for product of the era, which brings a unique color to this matter.

With the anticipation of countless people.

The bell finally tolled on the 1st of February.

The works participating in the Qin-Chu music battle have reached their release moment. And in many movie theatres, a movie named “The Tuner” was officially screened——

The wind begins to blow.
