107 Third Album
In April, after Jingwen once again counted the sales of Ye Fan's two albums.
"Boy" has sold 1.35 million copies, and "Stubborn" has sold 900,000 copies.
Thanks to the broadcast of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", the popularity of these two albums has been boosted again.
If the ratio of genuine and pirated versions in this era is 1:9, the actual sales of these two albums will be even more impressive.
Xiao Qi's "The Heart is Soft" has become popular all over the country. According to Jingwen Company's inquiry, "The Heart is Soft" has sold more than 500,000 copies in the mainland. Every time he buys one, Xu Zhongmin's heart hurts more. He originally had the opportunity to make this money.
Xu Zhongmin found out again that "The Heart is So Soft" is so popular in the mainland, but there is still no reaction in Wanwan. It's really strange.
After hearing this, Ye Fan smiled and said nothing. Of course he knew the reason. Ye Fan also knew that the two things that happened in July would let Xiao Qi and Wanwan know about this situation. He also knew that the final sales of this album in the mainland were 1.37 million copies, which Xiao Qi said in person later.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan probably had to jump up and down again in the Wanwan area. He would inevitably take him out and talk to Xiao Qi. Then don’t have any “Nan Ren Bei Ye”, and Ye Fan couldn’t even explain it even if he opened his mouth.
However, Ye Fan's third album is scheduled to be released in June. In terms of time, Ye Fan is not afraid of being compared. Then, he will fight with Xiao Qi.
Ye Fan is not good at vocal songs now, but in this era, there are still many audiences of rock songs, especially some rebellious young people, who think this is the current trend.
So on Ye Fan's third album, he prepared a few rock songs, and a few songs that make people feel very excited after listening to:
"The Wind Rises"
Although this song is a song from 2017, it is adapted from a song posted by a Japanese singer in 2014. Now that I sing it, I will not have any copyright issues. In addition, the lyrics and music of this song are very good, so it is definitely suitable as the title song.
"Invisible Wings"
Needless to say, Zhang Shaohan's songs in 2006 are classic, but also in line with Ye Fan's style, an inspirational song.
Although Ye Fan's songs have dominated major campuses now, he still feels that it is not enough.
In addition to radio gymnastics, Ye Fan wants his songs to occupy the students' student days. When these people grow up, the power that bursts out will be terrifying.
"Blue Lotus"
Xu Wei's song in 2002 is sad and inspiring, and there is no need to say much about the classic level.
"Flying Higher"
One of Wang Toutiao's representative works, the song from 2004, is also very classic. When he released the song, the song had a great influence.
Not only did it sweep across major rankings and set a number of records, but also when "Shen Six" launched a live broadcast, CCTV actually chose this song as the background music.
"Young Battlefield"
The song from 2006, "Come on, Good Man", as for whether the original singer was Zhang Jie or Sun Nan, Ye Fan couldn't remember it. Anyway, this song is youthful and exciting, and it is in line with Ye Fan's current style, so just use it.
Listen to Mom's
Of course, Jay Chou’s song cannot be missing. This song was released in 2006. Ye Fan himself likes it very much and the lyrics are very positive. However, when Ye Fan comes to sing it, the lyrics must be appropriately modified.
"The Most Beautiful Sun"
Zhang Jie's song in 2007 is a magnificent lyrical and inspiring song, which adds some rock elements, which is also the reason why Ye Fan chose this song.
"run"
Yuquan's song in 2003 is also a good inspirational song, but its quality is incomparable to other ones. Ye Fan used it as an ordinary song on the album.
"butterfly"
The theme song of Digimon was released in 1999 and it sounds very touching.
Ye Fan was about to change this song into Chinese and sing it first. The song title will be translated into "Butterfly" in English.
After all, this song has accompanied Ye Fan's childhood before. As long as the opportunity is right, Ye Fan doesn't mind changing all the classic Japanese anime songs to Chinese to sing.
"aLIEz"
Although the Nuclear Explosion Divine Song has been criticized by many people and the diversity and cross-complexity of the text used, it is undeniable that this song is very exciting to listen to.
The song title was also taken from Japan. From a to z, there is a lie in the middle, which can be explained as a complete lie, so Ye Fan planned to change the title of the song to "Lie" and the lyrics were also changed to Chinese for singing.
Apart from the style of the last song, Ye Fan didn't know if people in this era could accept it, but with the other nine songs, the quality of this album is definitely not said, and it was proved by time.
After seeing these ten songs, Xu Zhongmin and Huo Lijun were shocked and could not speak.
Because the quality of these songs is really good, it can be said that the quality of these songs is no worse than the ten songs in "Boys", and even more than that.
It was also officially because he saw these songs from Ye Fan's third album. Xu Zhongmin felt much better because he missed Xiao Qi. After all, Ye Fan's ace is enough to make a fortune in his company.
After discussing the time to record the album with Huo Lijun, he went to arrange preparations for the recording studio and the recording engineer. Ye Fan had to take time to attend the award ceremony first.
In early April, the fourth global Chinese music chart will begin. As elV's annual flagship event, it is the earliest annual awards ceremony for Chinese songs around the world.
el V is an international music channel, also known as Star Music Channel or Satellite TV Music Channel, and is affiliated to Star Media.
You can see it in many countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East.
This channel mainly plays mainstream music and some regional on-demand music.
It mainly broadcasts English songs, but also plays songs in regional languages on some regional channels, and mainly plays Chinese pop music in the Mainland and Wanwan.
In 1998, the Global Chinese Music Chart was held in the Mainland, and it was also the earliest annual awards ceremony for global Chinese songs.
In 1997, this ceremony was held in Hong Kong Island because Star Media’s headquarters is located in Hong Kong Island.
But as soon as Hong Kong Island returns, the award ceremony will be held in the mainland next year. You can enjoy it carefully.
Due to other award ceremony in Wanwan and Hong Kong Island, Xu Zhongmin replied that Ye Fan would definitely have nominations, but he did not say that he would definitely win the award.
Ye Fan knew that it was because of his identity as a mainland singer, so he had little chance of winning the grand prize at award ceremony in both places.
Most of the award ceremony in these two places are still small now. You can’t win awards or only have small awards, so Ye Fan is too lazy to go there. At least you need to have the best newcomer award.
After learning about Ye Fan's attitude at the award ceremony, he also expressed that he would consider it. As for the final result, it could only depend on the situation.
Just like the 15th Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony started in January, there was no confirmation that Ye Fan had awards, only nominations, Ye Fan ignored the other side and guessed that nothing good was happening.
Sure enough, Ye Fan was right not to go. At this award ceremony, the gold award for the Best Newcomer was awarded to Chef Xie, and Zhang Huimei won the silver award. You think this is ridiculous.
Chef Xie had already made his debut in 1996, but he only had one single "Estimated Mistakes", and the first album will not be released until May this year.
According to the latest news, Zhang Huimei's album "Sisters" has sold more than 1 million copies, so she won the silver award. The bronze award is a combination of Feng Delun. You can taste these situations, and you can taste them carefully!
Ye Fan knew the awards at these places, and knew that he could not compete with the great masters such as Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua, etc., but the best newcomer award was so naked that he could not agree to the unspoken rules for Chef Xie.
Although many of the songs on the first two albums have won many awards in Wanwan and Hong Kong Island, due to regional factors, these songs cannot win awards. Ye Fan is also a little regretful, but it is better not to go for such a disgusting award.
Seeing that Ye Fan was unwilling to come, the top ten Golden Songs did not change his decision, and did not award Ye Fan a single award.
Although this has caused a lot of criticism, the mainland media and Hong Kong media have also quarreled over this incident.
But I am thick-skinned, so what can I do? The top ten Chinese golden songs have been held since 1978. They are hosted by Hong Kong Island's only government radio station "Hong Kong Island Radio", and co-organized by the Hong Kong Island Composer and Lyricist Association, the International Recording Association Hong Kong Island Association, and the Hong Kong Island Recording Chamber of Commerce.
Just look at the lineup of this organizer and you will know why. Hong Kong Island has not returned yet, so it is natural for them to have some minor emotions.
But Ye Fan didn't mind. This award ceremony was full of dark stories. Since Liangzi had already formed, there would be opportunities to slap in the face in the future.
The global Chinese music charts are more aware of each other. I told Ye Fan that he would definitely win the award, and a best newcomer is definitely indispensable. Ye Fan then agreed to attend the award ceremony.
On April 3, Ye Fan arrived in Hong Kong Island and prepared to attend the award ceremony on the night of the 5th.
Li Lianjie's movie has been completed. "Huang Feihong: The Lion of the Western Regions" has also been released on March 1. It was released for a month and won 30.26 million Hong Kong dollars in the box office, ranking third in the annual box office.
The first and second place in that year were Jackie Chan's "A Good Man" and Stephen Chow's "97 Family Has Happy Events".
Now Li Lianjie is free, so he took this opportunity to get together with him on the 4th.
When he learned that Li Lianjie still had a movie called "King of Killers" to be filmed this year, Ye Fan recalled the time and knew that he would go to Hollywood to film "The Deadly Weapon" next year.
Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh that in this era, the income from making movies in the mainland was really small. In addition to some good movies that could win awards, Hong Kong Island is indeed stronger in terms of profits and reputation.
This is a fact and cannot be changed in a short period of time. This is also the reason why Ye Fan had to film TV series first. The overall environment is like this. Unless Ye Fan comes to Hong Kong now, this situation cannot be changed by human resources.
Fortunately, the golden period of Hong Kong Island movies has not been many years. When Hong Kong Island movies decline, some movies that are inconvenient to shoot in the mainland can be chosen to come to Hong Kong Island to shoot. With Li Lianjie's help, it will be easier.
It was indeed as Ye Fan thought. Li Lianjie heard Ye Fan say that he wanted to come to Hong Kong to shoot a movie in two years. He told Ye Fan that he would definitely support him and would help him contact the director, actor and other things to prepare for the crew.
Ye Fan is also very grateful to Li Lianjie for his purpose of coming to Hong Kong Island. One has been achieved.
Chapter completed!
