The next day, news of this match swept across the entire Italian football world.

Even though many Serie A teams participated in this round, no one could steal the spotlight from San Remo.

They were just too special.

Under the purposeful promotion of Martivini, the more popular San Remo became, the more supporters he had.

...

Lu Yang’s scorching fame on the field greatly benefited those around him.

Sofia’s upcoming new movie ”The Invisible Guest” saw a surge in popularity.

Although Sofia has a high profile, popularity sometimes needs certain events to ignite it.

For instance, certain stars, who have average box office results of three or four hundred million for a movie, but when they get into legal trouble, their social media can crash, showing what it means to be a ”top stream” star.

The same was true for Sofia.

Many people commented on Sofia’s social platform:

”I must say, your little boyfriend is quite something!”

”Only go against the strongest! No wonder Sofia fell for him, who wouldn’t love such a man?”

”I thought younger guys were all just cute puppies, but Lu Yang turned out to be a wolf!”

”He’s not a wolf, though he has team spirit, he can also stand out single-handedly in the most critical moments. He’s basically a dragon! An Eastern Dragon!”

”I strangely don’t oppose your relationship anymore.”

”Honestly, I approve of this marriage.”

Foreign netizens have a strong ability to create buzz.

Foreign celebrities aren’t bad either.

Quite a few actresses posted photos of themselves watching the game live to grab some of the spotlight.

Some models even edited photos of Lu Yang greeting the audience to look like he was waving at them, sparking some minor rumors.

But no one chased the buzz quite like Kubo.

”New song breaks one million clicks! Very happy, this is what good music is! Unfortunately, some lousy directors and actors don’t know how to appreciate it!” Kubo posted on social media, tagging Sofia and Lu Yang on purpose.

The implication was clear.

Currently, Kubo is facing a wave of public condemnation and boycotts for disrespecting women.

But this doesn’t deter his die-hard fans from worshiping him.

After all, to this day, there are still many fans delusionally claiming their idols were wronged, while the women they harassed were supposedly lucky... talking about that is a waste.

It seriously embarrasses women!

Setting other influences aside, Kubo’s song does have a certain merit.

It’s already climbed into the UK charts’ top ten.

However, Sofia had clearly stated when she refused it that it wasn’t because his song was bad, but because it didn’t fit the movie.

Kubo’s song is doing well after its release; petty arrogance.

Kubo’s fans swarmed over to Sofia and Lu Yang’s social media accounts like locusts, leaving insulting messages and using Kubo’s works to disgust the two, claiming they missed a classic due to lack of vision.

But Kubo’s good times didn’t last.

A day later, things took a turn.

A song called ”Shape of My Heart,” produced by musician Anna, quickly surpassed the popularity of Kubo’s new song, debuting directly at the top of the UK charts.

Yes, the top, not the top ten!

Such events have been rare over the past two years.

Europe’s pop music scene has long lacked a song with such a strong appeal.

If Kubo’s song was a mild hit, enough to please a musician for a time.

Then this ”Shape of My Heart” is enough to be a lifetime signature song for any musician!

This song, it’s a phenomenon-level track.

”It’s so beautiful, the lyrics are too well-written!”

”Yes, it feels like playing a poker game, but saying much more.”

”I keep pondering the lyrics, always feeling there’s something more.”

”Did you know? This song is the theme of ’The Invisible Guest’!”

”What? I knew there was something intriguing about the links!”

”The music video is clips from the movie, basically a movie trailer!”

”Such innovative promotion.”

”This song is truly beautiful, the music is very high-class.”

”Listening to it gives me a reassuring feeling.”

”The singer’s voice is just... indescribable, it gives a sense of security.”
