The initial data was more inclined toward Zhou Cheng, but the difference in the trial listening volumes wasn’t significant, as one could only compare after listening to both songs.
However, the standout in the trial listening segment was M.YU’s song.
Zhou Cheng’s initial data was completely due to the size of his fan base, as most of Zhou Cheng’s loyal fans would buy before listening.
They had initially planned to laugh at Yuran’s new song after listening to it.
But unexpectedly, when Zhou Cheng’s data reached the true fan base numbers, the data started to stabilize, and the growth slowed down.
On M.YU’s side, most people had merely listened to the end credits song of "General’s Token," a duet by the male and female leads.
Beyond that, there was also the legendary "Voicing Love."
Although the original soundtrack of "General’s Token" had been exposed online and was entirely produced by M.YU, it was indeed hard to evaluate since the final product hadn’t been released.
However, after the trial listening phase, M.YU’s "Bloodstain" received a wave of praise.
Keen netizens discovered that this "Bloodstain" was essentially the character song of the stunning Huai An portrayed by Bo Yan in "Hero."
It vividly showcased the heroism of inviting warriors with a youthful spirit and advancing to the battlefield with a proud smile, giving endless space for reflection. Those fans who had seen the movie "Hero" deeply resonated with it.
They left numerous messages under M.YU’s official Weibo.
[Riding a Tortoise to the Market: Ahhhhh, what a divine character song I have heard. I just finished watching "Hero," and lady, your song finally made me understand what was slightly lacking in the movie.]
[Concubine in Bo Yan’s Backyard: Agree with the above. It’s not that the original soundtrack was bad, but it lacked a Huai An character song. Huai An, such a sorrowful hero, even though he met a tragic death on the battlefield, his spirit never bowed an inch... Ahhhh...]
[Little Fan Sister of Bo Yan 10086+: It made me cry, this song is tailor-made for Huai An, amazing! Could it be that M.YU is also a fan of Bo Yan?]
When Yuran saw this message, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she replied to this netizen.
[M.YU replied to Little Fan Sister of Bo Yan 10086+: Good insight indeed, but ladies of Bo Yan’s harem, when I write songs, the lyricist to the right of my mouth, isn’t me, thank you.]
There were also professional musicians who dissected M.YU’s songs, analyzing them piece by piece, and concluded they were quite remarkable.
After Zhou Cheng’s data slowed down, Yuran’s data started to rise, partly because many netizens mentioned it was Huai An’s character song, gaining a bit of Bo Yan’s popularity.
"Hero" received rave reviews, and the character of Huai An was also exceptionally brilliant.
With Bo Yan’s own charisma, even though this song wasn’t exclusively his character’s, tagging it with "Hero" still brought some popularity, let alone being Huai An’s character song.
Zhou Cheng’s fans saw the change in the data and began to feel sour.
[Little Girl of the Nan Family: This wave of popularity riding is truly shameless, still a "Hero" Huai An character song. You’re so capable, why don’t you write all the character songs in "Hero"? Truly shameless, this unfair competition is too unjust.]
[Iron Fan Niuniu of Zhou Cheng: Agree, agree, calling on the Record Statistics Association to take this matter seriously, our Zhou Cheng is now facing unfair treatment. @RSA Asia-Pacific Record Statistics Association.V]
[Utterly Organized: Right, hoping @RSA Asia-Pacific Record Statistics Association.V will handle this matter strictly.]
