154 The domestic music scene

Due to the explosive sales of the album, the songs in "The Wind Rises" have soared in various rankings, and have been killed in various charts.

On the on-demand list, "Young Battlefield" surpassed "Stubborn" and moved to third place. It is only a matter of time before it surpasses "Start Over".

"Flying Higher" was promoted to fifth place, while "The Wind Rises" was even more terrifying, rising directly from tenth to sixth place, knocking "Sisters" down.

"Blue Lotus" and "Invisible Wings" ranked ninth and tenth, and "Female Flower" and "Sisters" both fell out of the top ten list!

At this point, Ye Fan has 6 songs on the top 10 of the Mainland On-demand Chart. He is about to repeat last year's 7-song domination of the chart, and he may even be able to break last year's record and achieve 8-song domination.

On other smaller lists, many songs from "The Wind Rises" have already ranked number one!

This situation has made many singers in the Mainland lament. Why do they want to release an album? Even if they do, there will be no sound.

In the current mainland music market, except for some veteran singers who have their own fans and have some market for releasing albums, other ordinary and new singers have no chance to play.

In the Mainland music scene from June to July, "Intimate Lover", "Going Home", and "Happy Hometown" aroused some responses, but the rest of the popularity was dominated by Ye Fan. Generally speaking, singers who release albums are just like cannon fodder.

The situation on Hong Kong Island is better. Prince Edward's "Never Say It! I Love You" and Aaron Kwok's "Call of Love" are two very powerful albums. Since their release, both have exceeded double platinum sales.

"Call of Love" can be regarded as establishing Aaron Kwok's style of singing and dancing, but outside of Hong Kong Island, sales were average.

"Never Talk About Me! Love You" also had good sales in Bay Area and Guangzhou. However, after leaving Hong Kong Island, his album was also outperformed by "The Wind Rises"!

Therefore, during this period of time in the Chinese music scene, the only ones who can compete with Ye Fan are Xiao Qi and Zhang Huimei. However, Xiao Qi's album has been released for a long time, so it is difficult to make comparisons at this time.

Therefore, most people's eyes are turned to the Wanwan Golden Songs Dragon and Tiger Chart, because the albums ranking first and second at this time are Zhang Huimei and Ye Fan.

As of July 25, the top ten on the Wanwan Golden Songs Chart are:

First place: "Bad Boy" Zhang Huimei (5-week champion);

Second place: Ye Fan from "The Wind Rises";

Third place: "I'll never mention it! I love you" Tai Ziji;

Fourth place: "Nikko Airport" Xu Ruyun (winner in 2 weeks);

Fifth place: "Every Time I Miss You" Li Wen;

Sixth place: Lin Yilian from "My Favorite Lin Yilian";

Seventh place: "Waiting for You" Zheng Xiuwen;

Eighth place: "I Want to See You Every Second" by a certain king;

Ninth place: "Two Kings and Two Queens" Shang Hua's compilation;

Tenth place: "Friends" Zhou Huajian (5-week champion).

If this list is dominated by Ye Fan, then at this time, Ye Fan can be said to dominate the national music scene.

In this case, Ye Fan can also be crowned the new generation king of 1997 with Xiao Qi with the album "The Wind Rises"!

So now, not only the mainland, but also many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have postponed the release of their albums, even if they give up promotion fees, they have to avoid Ye Fan's sharpness.

But they don't know that Ye Fan will release an album on December 31st, not only to make a summary with Jingwen, but also because in the second half of the year, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua, Zhang Yusheng, Xiao Qi, Wang Fei and others will all release new albums.

album.

This is the moment when Ye Fan and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers really show off, and it is also the time for the four major record companies to reconsider their offers to him.

Ye Fan felt that their current quotation and profit share were not enough. Jingwen Company even announced a slogan to hit the annual sales top spot within half a year.

After all, Ye Fan's album sales did rank first in the country last year, but that was the sales of two albums, so Jingwen was embarrassed to use this banner as a promotion.

If Jingwen had not released this data, it would have definitely attracted ridicule from countless people, but now that the sales volume of 940,000 copies has been released, few people dare to refute this statement.

But this year is different. Although the sales of "Heart Is Too Soft" are indeed terrifying, the momentum of "The Wind Rises" is even greater.

And judging from the potential of the mainland market, not even Rolling Stone and some Bay media dare to say that "Heart Is Too Soft" can live up to Ye Fan at a low price.

Xu Zhongmin mobilizes all employees of the company and his own interpersonal relationships to work hard towards this goal.

Ye Fan's idea of ​​filming with peace of mind is destined to fail. His album is so popular and he is in Hong Kong. With the poor nature of Hong Kong reporters, how could he let such a big news go?

There are many reporters outside the crew every day, with the most reporters from Hong Kong and many from mainland China and Taiwan.

Now, in addition to filming, Ye Fan also has to deal with reporters every day. He doesn't want to deal with it, but he can't stand the persuasion of Leslie Cheung and Huo Wenxi.

After all, with so many media outlets, "The Devotion of Suspect X" can also get a lot of exposure.

Boss Yang also meant the same thing, but he conveyed it through Huo Wenxi. Ye Fan slept with another employee and refused to sign the contract. It was difficult for Ye Fan to refuse such a thing.

And Leslie Cheung is very dedicated to this drama. Before filming, he had already thought about the role of Shi Shen.

Coupled with some reasons, he basically doesn't accept interviews now, and is separated from the outside world, making himself withdrawn. He is immersed in this role and rarely plays mahjong.

Ye Fan had just arrived in Hong Kong and was shocked when he saw Leslie Cheung's lonely look in his eyes and his overall state of being. He fell into the role before even filming.

This made Ye Fan somewhat regretted taking out this script and letting him play the role of Shi Shen.

But thinking of what Leslie Cheung said to him, Ye Fan felt very helpless. Leslie Cheung now regarded Ye Fan as a good friend and was willing to say many things to Ye Fan.

Because when Ye Fan saw him and Mr. Tang, not only did his expressions look normal, but he also got along very well with Mr. Tang. He even called them brothers, without the disdainful attitude of others.

In the first half of this year, Leslie Cheung announced his relationship with Mr. Tang at his concert, which caused an uproar!

My brother's fans were unexpectedly understanding and supportive. Instead of objecting, they gave them countless applause and blessings.

But in that tiny place, in that era of conservative folk customs, their relationship was destined to be regarded as "heresy", not to mention Leslie Cheung as a public figure.

Compared to the tolerance of fans, the attitude of the media and the public is very bad.

Even though Leslie Cheung appears to be calm and calm externally, Ye Fan, who already knows his character, knows that Leslie Cheung's heart is not as stable as he shows.

Leslie Cheung is a sensitive person, otherwise he would not be so strict with himself. He is still very concerned about the outside world's views on him.

Ye Fan estimated that the cause of his depression started this year.

Mr. Tang also told Ye Fan that the experience of this year's Golden Horse Awards made Leslie Cheung really break through.

"Happy Together" is a classic movie. Wang Jiawei won the Best Director Award at the 50th Cannes International Film Festival for this film.

But when Leslie Cheung attended the 34th Bay Area Golden Horse Awards, he was humiliated in public.

He was originally nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for his movie "Happy Together", so he came happily.

But unexpectedly, because he announced his relationship with Mr. Tang at the concert, things would change dramatically.

After the opening ceremony began, the skits played by several people on the stage made Leslie Cheung eclipse.

A skit with certain content is performed on the stage, so that anyone with a discerning eye can understand what the skit expresses.

Even during the performance, the camera pointed at Leslie Cheung many times. Seeing the change in the expression on his brother's face at that time, people couldn't help but feel distressed.

On the stage, the two hosts Qin Han and Liu Ruoying sang and joked about certain contents, full of ridicule, and the audience burst into laughter off the stage, making Leslie Cheung and them feel like they were in two different worlds.

In the end, Tse Kwan-ho won the Best Actor for "Thirteen Sons of the South China Sea", but when the number of nomination votes was displayed, Leslie Cheung showed that he had received 0 votes. Can you believe this?

Mr. Tang told Ye Fan that the insult his brother received at this award ceremony was unforgettable in his life.

But what really makes them sad is not that they didn't win the award, but the ridicule and ridicule of the host and the audience towards him on stage.

Moreover, in this year's Academy Awards, the same movie was nominated for Best Actor. Tony Leung won the award but Leslie Cheung was not selected. It is not difficult to guess the reason for the defeat. This can be said to be even worse for Leslie Cheung.

What Leslie Cheung told Ye Fan was that the reason why he was so invested in this movie was because he wanted to rely on this movie to prove himself again.

Due to the above reasons, Leslie Cheung is now unwilling to face the media, so he can only let Ye Fan take action.

"Ye Fan, your new album is selling so well, do you have any expectations of how much sales it can achieve?"

"Of course, the more, the better. I would like to thank those who support and like me. I did not let them down."

"Then do you have any plans to develop in Hong Kong Island?"

"Shouldn't I be filming a movie on Hong Kong Island now?"

Ye Fan was speechless about this question, and when he answered, he couldn't help but fight back.

"Is it because the conditions for filmmaking in the Mainland are not good? Otherwise, why would you come to Hong Kong Island to film a film?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan became angry and replied: "Do you know how many international awards mainland films have won overseas? Do you know how many international awards Hong Kong films have won abroad?"

When the reporter heard this question, his smile froze. He really didn't know, but he didn't admit defeat and continued to ask: "I don't know, but do you know?"

Ye Fan looked at him with disdain and said: "Since 1988, mainland films have won more awards at the three European awards than Hong Kong and Taiwan films combined. Do you think the filmmaking environment in the mainland is good?"

In the following interview, Ye Fan was really impressed by the thinking of some reporters. The questions he asked were either very weird or misleading, and he wanted Ye Fan to fall into them.
