At Yuanzhou Studio, Liu Yuanzhou watched his record sales slowly rise from 5.4 million, feeling inexplicably irritated.

He knew, of course, that his purpose in doing this was to teach Xu Fan a lesson and let him know that the entertainment industry is not a place where a newcomer can just try to make it.

In fact, he had been in the lead from the very beginning of the battle, which excited him.

His qualifications, or rather his abilities, remain at their peak.

His fans are still there, and his albums are sold very quickly after release, with even digital copies selling out quickly.

He once muttered dismissively to himself: "See? This is the influence of a top-tier superstar."

He even opened a bottle of good wine and took a sip for it.

However, when Xu Fan's record was about to catch up with his, his first thought was that Xu Fan had sold a large number of copies of his record. So he did not hesitate to use his own money to buy a full one million copies of his own record.

His agent tried to persuade him, but he ignored him and even smashed a glass of fine wine.

He was furious and wanted to post on Weibo to question Xu Fan, saying that it was one thing for a newcomer not to back down when facing him, but to resort to such despicable means.

However, before he could even send it out, his agent's feedback made him want to vomit blood.

Xu Fan did not inflate sales figures; those who suddenly bought the records were all fans in Xu Fan's live stream.

Having received a reasonable explanation, Liu Yuanzhou did not feel that there was anything wrong with him boosting sales figures.

He quickly communicated with his agent and told the viewers in the live stream group that anyone who bought a record could randomly receive a physical record signed by him. He also said that he would personally invite the fan who bought the most records that day to come on stage and sing along at his next concert.

This message really attracted a lot of fans to buy, and because there was no limit to the number of purchases, the data for these people quickly went up.

The gap between Xu Fan and him naturally widened. However, what angered Liu Yuanzhou was that at this time, Xu Fan's records were once again frantically bought by a group of hot-headed people.

Moreover, the purchasing trend and the momentum were even stronger than the previous wave, and it quickly caught up with and even surpassed its own sales volume.

In a fit of anger, Liu Yuanzhou decided to boost sales again.

The agent quickly stopped him, saying, "You can't keep doing this. If you keep doing it, someone will definitely find out."

Liu Yuanzhou took a few deep breaths. He watched Xu Fan's record sales figures fluctuate and said, "You know, I can't lose today. If I lose, the impact will be huge. You, as my manager, know this better than I do."

The agent stood there stunned for a long time before saying, "Alright then, but this is the last time only."

Liu Yuanzhou nodded, and his record sales suddenly broke through 7.5 million.

Netizens were in uproar, and Xu Fan's fans even went directly to Liu Yuanzhou's Weibo to hurl insults.

However, some netizens pointed out that it seems perfectly normal for fans to buy as much as they want, so there's nothing strange about it.

Xu Fan's fans were speechless. After all, there was no limit to the number of records he could buy. If a fan were to spend tens of millions of yuan to buy records, it would seem quite normal.

It's obvious to everyone that Liu Yuanzhou definitely pulled some dirty tricks in today's record battle.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be instances where, every time Xu Fan was about to catch up, or even surpassed him, the sales figures would instantly widen by a million, or even a million and a half million.

The anger of netizens was silently suppressed and gradually subsided.

However, Liu Yuanzhou's actions have drawn criticism from some people.

Xue Laiyi bought one of Xu Fan's records because he felt that was enough.

He originally thought that Xu Fan's album sales exceeding three million copies today would be quite good.

But Xu Fan's fans gave him a surprise: his debut album sold a staggering six million copies. Just when he thought Xu Fan had the upper hand, Liu Yuanzhou, a top-tier superstar, actually resorted to fraudulent sales tactics.

So he posted a Weibo post: "Xu Fan's first digital album 'Superstar' has been officially released. Friends who like it can buy it to support him. It contains great songs such as 'Sorrow,' 'A Person Like Me,' and 'Really Love You.'"

===Chapter 135 A Miserable Defeat===

Xue Laiyi's strength is by no means inferior to Liu Yuanzhou's.

Therefore, when Xue Laiyi posted on Weibo, it immediately attracted countless Xue fans, who, based on their idol's words, went to support Xu Fan's debut album.

Moreover, Liu Yuanzhou's action angered more than just Xue Laiyi.

Xiao Zihan knew that Xu Fan was going to release an album as early as after the show "The Coming One" ended.

She's been keeping an eye on it and is really looking forward to buying a physical copy to keep as a collector's item.

Because she really likes Xu Fan's songs.

So, as soon as Xu Fan's album was released at noon today, she bought one hundred copies.

Anyway, she wasn't short of money, and he knew Liu Yuanzhou's purpose.

He thought the two were competing fairly, and since he was indeed a loyal fan of Xu Fan, buying a hundred copies to support him was normal. However, he did not expect Liu Yuanzhou to use such a despicable method.

Just like the last time Xu Fan advanced, he raised the same question.

They never consider the consequences, and some of them are even infuriating.

So, after thinking it over, she decided to post a Weibo to express her attitude. Even though she is no longer as popular as before, she still has many fans.

She posted on Weibo: Congratulations to Xu Fan for winning the championship of The Coming One! Congratulations to Xu Fan for the official release of his album "Superstar". I support you, no reason needed!

Xiao Zihan's words won the hearts of countless fans. It was rare to see Xiao Zihan so supportive of a newcomer, and as a result, another wave of fans went on a buying spree to purchase Xu Fan's digital album.

In addition, Zhong Yixuan also posted on Weibo, saying directly, "Everyone can go and support Xu Fan's album 'Superstar Extraordinary'!"

In fact, although Chung Yat-suen finished seventh, she will still receive a record.

He didn't ask for too much, and he knew his own limitations, so he felt he should do everything he could to help Xu Fan.

At the very least, we can't let the so-called superstar Liu Yuanzhou win this battle without any action.

The pop star Andy Lau also spoke out on Weibo, and the harsh words he used left many people speechless. Is this still the Andy Lau they know?

"Relying on his so-called seniority, he committed wrongdoings, acted arrogantly, manipulated sales figures, and made a disgrace to society."

This is Andy Lau's simple Weibo post. Although he didn't name names, it was already very obvious. Basically, whether you're a fan or just a casual observer, you can understand who the person in the message is.

Even Andy Lau posted another Weibo message after this one: "Supporting Xu Fan".

With just four characters, Andy Lau's Weibo post was widely shared.

These four simple words represent the attitude of many people in the entertainment industry.

For example, Yang Xiaomi, Fan Lao and Zheng Lao, other contestants from The Coming One, and even Li Jiachen.

They all forwarded Andy Lau's statement to support Xu Fan; some added a few other words, while others forwarded it directly.

Besides him, there are many other people in the entertainment industry who also have high hopes for Xu Fan.

Although there was no direct contact, this kind of thing is just forwarding Weibo posts.

Anyone with eyes can see that Xu Fan is destined for a smooth and successful career in the entertainment industry. With Xue Laiyi leading the way and Andy Lau supporting him, many people will support him without hesitation and leave a good impression.

When comparing veteran superstars like Xu Fan and Liu Yuanzhou, some people choose not to make a choice, while others choose Liu Yuanzhou.

Some people, perhaps because they were close to Andy Lau and others, perhaps because they didn't get along with Liu Yuanzhou, and some simply because they couldn't stand Liu Yuanzhou's petty actions, all forwarded this Weibo post.

With so many big names reposting the Weibo post, the ensuing reaction is far more than just a simple explosion.

As Liu Yuanzhou was feeling triumphant and happy about his impulsive purchase, he noticed a strange phenomenon: the number of people buying Xu Fan's new album had increased for the third time.

The irritable Liu Yuanzhou shouted angrily in his studio, "Is this ever going to end?!"

Just then, the agent rushed over and said, "Something terrible has happened!"

Liu Yuanzhou was furious, and hearing his agent say this made him even angrier. He asked coldly, "I know something big has happened. I just don't believe Xu Fan didn't cheat."

The agent shook his head and said, "I really didn't swipe it."

Liu Yuanzhou pointed angrily at the data and said, "If it wasn't manipulated, then look at how this data was obtained!"

The agent, panting, said, "Just look at Weibo and you'll see."

Liu Yuanzhou glared angrily at his agent, then picked up his phone and started looking at Weibo.

The more he read, the more alarmed and angry he became, until he saw Mr. Fan's Weibo post, at which point his heart skipped a beat.

"Isn't this kid a newbie? Where does he get such power?"

Liu Yuanzhou slumped on the sofa, his face looking rather pale.

The agent said from the side, "A rising star in the entertainment industry, and a very popular one at that, naturally has many people who hate him and many people who love him."

You yourself, for the sake of your fictitious brother, are determined to fight to the death with such an outstanding young man.

Liu Yuanzhou shook his head and said, "As for physical records, I will personally announce and sign for them. I don't believe that his physical record sales can surpass mine."

The agent sighed, and Liu Yuanzhou resisted the urge to continue rigging the votes.

After all, the entire entertainment industry is now paying attention to him.

He thought he was just casually playing around with a newcomer, but who would have thought that it would involve so many different kinds of people?

But he still couldn't bring himself to give up.

In this simple battle, Liu Yuanzhou was utterly defeated. At least in the sales of electronic records, Liu Yuanzhou was completely defeated by Xu Fan.

In the end, Xu Fan's first digital record sold 10.3 million copies.

This is just the sales volume on the first day, and it's already so terrifying that it has truly shocked many people.

When the data was presented to Xu Fan at noon the next day, he had a smile on his face.

Zhao Feiyang patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said smugly, "Look, our battle was really fierce. In the end, Liu Yuanzhou was defeated and we won. I definitely deserve some credit. After all, my main force gave him a good slap in the face."

Xu Fan laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you're amazing."

Zhao Feiyang chuckled, pulled up a stool, and sat down in front of Xu Fan, saying, "The studio renovation has already begun, and I need to talk to you about some things that are coming up next."

Xu Fan hummed a little tune as he hung the clothes out to dry.

Zhao Feiyang continued rambling on, "In the past few days, I've received seventeen invitations for commercial performances, four invitations to be a guest at concerts, and two invitations to variety shows."

Xu Fan stopped what he was doing and said, "Let's refuse."

===Chapter 136 The Lost Child's Lineup===

Xu Fan wanted to spend the rest of his time with his mother and, incidentally, buy an apartment.

Then we need to find a way to enable Dou Shui'er to study, which is also a more important thing now.

Xu Fan won this record battle, while Liu Yuanzhou quietly chose to release his album and hold autograph sessions all over the country.
