153 Officially recognized superstars
Just as Ye Fan was getting into the mood of filming, Xu Zhongmin, who was far away in Yanjing, also saw the sales statistics of "The Wind Rises".
Looking at the data on the report, Xu Zhongmin's hands were trembling.
As of July 15, "The Wind Rises" has been released for three weeks.
In the column of total mainland sales, there is a data of 623,789 copies!
This is a crazy rhythm!
"Youth" sold 100,000+ copies in half a month and exceeded 600,000 copies. It took nearly 4 months.
"Stubborn" sold 100,000+ copies in the first week, 200,000+ copies in two weeks, and it took nearly 3 months to break through 600,000 copies.
And now the sales of "The Wind Rises" have doubled or tripled in one go, directly breaking the record in the mainland music scene!
No, not only the mainland music scene, but also the Chinese music scene’s records have been broken!
Zhang Huimei's new album "BAD BOY", within one month of its release, has sold 300,000 copies in the Bay Area, 20,000 copies in Hong Kong Island, 100,000 copies in the Mainland, and 150,000 copies in other Asian places combined.
open.
The total number of albums is only 570,000, but it is already a very amazing achievement, causing the Bay Area music world to exclaim that a new generation of singing queens has emerged.
In addition, in early July, Rolling Stone announced that the sales of Xiao Qi's "Heart Is Too Soft" throughout Asia have exceeded 3 million copies, and Wanwan's singing king has also ascended to the throne.
The Wanwan music scene is shouting that the golden age of the Wanwan music scene has arrived. In the Chinese music scene in the next ten years, Wanwan singers will dominate!
Listening to this, does it sound like a player's family where they lived a good life when they were young?
But even so, let alone the sales of "Too Soft" in the first three weeks of Wanwan, it took 5 months in the mainland to achieve sales of more than 600,000. In the end, it was thanks to Ye Fan's help to promote it.
Fire returns to the bay.
As for Ye Fan's third album, its sales exceeded 600,000 copies in just 3 weeks. How amazing this is!
This is only the sales volume of "The Wind Rises" in the Mainland. The sales volume of "Wanwan" exceeded 200,000 copies, and more than 100,000 copies were sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
In three weeks, the new album has sold 940,000 copies nationwide. With this momentum, it will not be a problem for "The Wind Rises" to exceed one million sales in the first month, or even more!
What else can this be compared to? Apart from the album "Heart Is Too Soft" this year, Xu Zhongmin doesn't believe there can be any other singer's album that can reach this level.
Even veteran kings such as Jacky Cheung, Wang Fei, and Andy Lau, because their bases are all in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as well as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, their foundation in the mainland music market cannot be compared with Ye Fan!
They have a hit album, and their sales can exceed 1 million copies in a year. Xu Zhongmin believes it, but if it exceeds 1 million copies in a month, who else but Ye Fan!

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Jingwen Company announced the sales data of "The Wind Rises", which shocked everyone!
In a situation where piracy is rampant in the mainland music market, Ye Fan has achieved sales of one million in one month. How can this make mainland singers feel embarrassed?
This data is too outrageous, and the gap is too big. It is hard to say whether an ordinary singer can reach this data if he releases albums in a lifetime, and many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers may not be able to achieve this achievement!
The first Chinese pop music album to sell more than 1 million copies was "Listen to You and Tell You" released in 1989 by Bayan singer Chen Shuhua.
The record was subsequently broken by Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" album in 1993. At that time, sales in the Bay Area exceeded 1.36 million copies, and sales in Asia exceeded 3 million copies.
Of course, it is also said that the sales volume of "Kiss Goodbye" is 4 million, but this is BLJ's press release, just take a look. The 3 million sales volume was said by Zhang Xueyou himself. As for the cumulative sales of 25 million copies, just take a look.
At that time, Andy Lau's album "True Love Is Hard to Take In" had almost the same sales volume across Asia.
Moreover, Zhang Huimei and Xiao Qi's albums have sold like this this year, which is already a phenomenal achievement, making them the king and queen of the Bay Area music scene.
How will other singers do this in the future? How can they have the nerve to promote their new albums if their sales exceed 100,000+ or 200,000+?
The industry is shocked! The media is shocked!
Even if the people who eat melons don’t understand the market, but after seeing the sales data of 940,000 copies in three weeks, they can still feel that this is a huge achievement, and they are shocked together!
The album sold 940,000 copies in three weeks! This data made the entire Chinese music world lose its voice!
"Yanjing Evening News" was the first media to speak out. They directly printed the figure [940,000] on the entire entertainment section, and then published a headline:
"Accumulate little by little and become a blockbuster!"
That night, almost everyone in Yanjing saw the report, learned about the news, and felt proud that Yanjing had produced such an outstanding person as Ye Fan. Most people in the evening were talking about Ye Fan and his album sales.
There were even many Ye Fan fans who took to the streets to celebrate like crazy and set off fireworks, which felt like a Chinese New Year.
This report seems to have opened the door to a new century. People can't believe that this happened in China in the 20th century. Shouldn't this kind of sales data be in those developed countries?
The next day, almost all mainland entertainment media gave their front-page headlines to Ye Fan. When Wang Feng saw it, he would probably faint in Zi Yi's arms!
Even many social, financial, and literary media came to share the popularity!
The media in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries have also reported more or less. This time, Ye Fan finally broke through the domestic scope and became famous throughout Asia.
The "12 o'clock news" of a famous TV station in Bangzi and the "Daily News" of a famous Japanese TV station both reported this news. The prefix given to Ye Fanjia was [Chinese singing superstar]!
After all, Ye Fan's songs are very popular in these places, but due to Jingwen's strength, they have not been able to enter the local market.
Among them, "Lie" and "Butterfly" were particularly popular after being introduced to Japan. Previously, "Invisible Wings", "First Dream", and "Daoxiang" were also very popular in Japan.
The situation is similar in Bangzi Country. Ye Fan's rap songs are more popular. After all, they are the style of their father in Chou Country!
The Bangzi Country media directly elevated Ye Fan to the same status as the Four Heavenly Kings and randomly selected some passers-by on the street for interviews. Most young people knew Ye Fan or had heard of his songs.
And as long as they are young girls, there is no one who does not know Ye Fan, which is very awesome. Before the Korean wave has risen, Ye Fan has taken the lead in spreading the Korean wave to Bangzi country.
Otherwise, Sony and EMI would have contacted Ye Fan so early, and the signing fee and share price offered were very high in Hong Kong and Taiwan!
Universal and Warner couldn't sit still at this time, and quickly sent people to Hong Kong Island to contact Ye Fan. They had not taken any action before, and they also wanted to see the results of Ye Fan's third album.
Universal and Warner's corporate strategies at this time have already targeted the mainland market. A singer who can sell 620,000 copies of a new album in the mainland in three weeks really shocked them. Ye Fan is definitely the one they must sign.
object!
Apart from the big-name singers from the golden era of Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is currently the only new-generation mainland singer with such influence as Ye Fan in Bangzi and Japan.
Although the princess is from the mainland, she debuted on Hong Kong Island and is not a new generation singer, so she cannot be counted.
This is not over yet, this news has been fermenting for two days.
At noon on July 25, Ye Fanhe's new album "The Wind Rises" appeared on the news column, making the old Ye family feel embarrassed in the alley!
The report took a full 30 seconds to introduce Ye Fan's album that broke the sales record, focusing on the sales records including those on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
In addition, he gave feedback to foreign media reports on Ye Fan, and also recognized the statement of "Chinese singing superstar"!
It is not that there are no media and people who question the sales data of "The Wind Rises", but the proportion is not high, and many of them are just to gain eyeballs and newspaper sales.
Especially some media, this year it took a lot of effort to create a king and queen of the music world, but Ye Fan's new album sold out again, how can their glassy hearts be affected?
But it is official, and the more such an environment exists, as a native of the mainland with a well-established background, Ye Fan has achieved outstanding results in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has also had a certain influence abroad, everyone will look at Ye Fan in a different light.
Moreover, Ye Fan's various achievements can no longer be described as outstanding, they can be said to be awesome!
This is an achievement that boosts the ambition of the Chinese people, and it can be said to be a slap in the face to those who "worship foreigners and favor foreigners"!
This also allowed other Hong Kong and Taiwan singers who had not paid much attention to the mainland to see the potential of the mainland market, and for the first time they started to pay attention to the mainland market.
And those singers who have long known the potential of the mainland market have accelerated their efforts to adjust the focus and direction of their work in the mainland.
The impact is not limited to the music scene. Many people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles also saw the potential of the mainland market through this incident. The album sales are so huge, how much will it be converted into box office?
This also made people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles begin to pay attention to the mainland market in 1997!
After the accumulation of two albums, Ye Fan's third album finally had an impact that was enough to change the development process of the domestic entertainment industry!
After Ye Fan learned about this situation, he felt that he was working hard on his next album, and it was not too late to appear on CCTV's father's "News Network".
Even if "The Devotion of Suspect X" can win several heavyweight awards at the Academy Awards, he can make an appearance.
As for the Golden Horse Award, ehmmmm~, due to Leslie Cheung, I will not apply for it in the past two years. Ye Fan plans to take a look.
Xu Zhongmin called Ye Fan and asked Ye Fan to take time to promote around Hong Kong and Taiwan, but Ye Fan had no time now.
Ye Fan has to film during the day, and consults with Chen Daoming and Leslie Cheung on acting skills at night. Sometimes he has to be pulled back to the room by Huo Wenxi to play poker. Sissi doesn't have time to accompany him. How can he have time to do publicity without being squeezed out?
That’s pretty good!
Xu Zhongmin had no choice but to spend money on publicity in other ways.
Although the sales of pirated copies in the mainland were affected by the college entrance examination, the pirated market slowly recovered after the college entrance examination.
Chapter completed!
