201 Strike Back 2 and Freshly Released Album Sales

"Director Chen calls himself a literary artist, but I suggest that Director Chen study the history of film."

"When movies were first born, their purpose was to entertain the nobility. It was only through the efforts of thousands of ordinary filmmakers that the public could watch movies."

"If you follow what Director Chen said, what he means is that his film concept tends to serve the nobility? But where are the nobility in our country now?"

"Since film types are divided into commercial films and art films, there must be a reason for it. I feel that after filming "Farewell My Concubine", Director Chen became a little confused and lost touch with the masses."

"Besides, I'm not eating his rice. He makes his artistic films and I make my commercial films. It doesn't matter what I do."

Ye Fan's last words made the reporters laugh again, but it did not delay the shock in their hearts.

Ever since Brother Chen Kai became a god with "Farewell My Concubine", it seems that Ye Fan is the only one in China who dares to talk to Brother Chen Kai like this. He is really awesome!

This also allowed reporters to once again understand Ye Fan’s temper. One word is tough! Two words are really tough!

At this time, a reporter asked: "Mr. Ye, Director Chen probably didn't mean that. I feel like he was just trying to admonish you out of good intentions."

Ye Fan smiled disdainfully and said, "Do I need his advice? I went to school to write novels, release albums, and make movies. Which one failed? Does this affect my study?"

"My school didn't say anything, so why should he worry about me?"

"Then I would like to advise him. The waves from behind in the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front of them kill them on the beach."

When the reporters heard this last sentence, their eyes lit up and they all wrote it down.

"Then what do you think of his new film "Assassination of Qin"?"

"I'll sit here and watch how I see it. I've never seen the movie. How do you want me to evaluate it?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing Ye Fan's answer, the reporters burst into laughter.

"So what do you want to say about Director Jia's evaluation of you?"

Hearing Captain Jia's name, Ye Fan curled his lips and said: "There is nothing wrong with making movies about the bottom and marginalized people. The film industry cannot lack his type of movies."

"But a filmmaker must also be able to see the good side of society. He is too extreme."

"So the feeling he gives me is that he has given up on the domestic market in order to flatter his European and American masters."

"Maybe his movies will make more money abroad. He wants to comment on me. Let's wait and see when his movies will be released in China."

The reporters thought that what Ye Fan said earlier was sharp enough, but they didn't expect that his comments about Captain Jia would be even more fierce.

They felt that their trip to interview Ye Fan today was really worthwhile. The material they got from the interview today was enough for them to use for a long time, and it was also more exciting!

So the reporters continued to ask questions and wanted to interview some exciting news, but Ye Fan refused. After thanking Zhang Guoshi and several other directors who spoke for him, he left forcefully.

This time the reporters did not stop him. Ye Fan had cooperated with them enough today, but it was counterproductive to prevent Ye Fan from leaving. Ye Fan's bodyguards were very cunning in dealing with people.

Seeing that the real owner had left, the reporters rushed back to their work units, preparing to write articles to report on these big melons in tomorrow's newspapers...

No. 5, Hong Kong Island, Warner (China) Headquarters

When Xu Zhiwei saw the three-week sales of "Love is Just One Word", he was so excited that he wanted to jump three feet high!

I only saw the data on the report: more than 820,000 copies in the mainland, more than 460,000 copies in the Bay Area, more than 240,000 copies in Hong Kong Island, and more than 1.52 million copies sold nationwide, which is even more exaggerated than the sales volume of "The Wind Rises" in the first three weeks.

This made Xu Zhiwei sigh with emotion. Ye Fan's trinity of promotional methods not only made the movie popular, but also made his albums and novels popular.

When he was counting overseas sales, he heard from staff from various places that Ye Fan's movies and novels were also very popular overseas.

When Xu Zhiwei looked at the overseas sales column, he was even more shocked. Although they had secretly operated Ye Fan's albums overseas before, there were too many competitors, so the specific data was unclear.

Now he can have a glimpse of the real data. Only the data column shows that there are more than 310,000 records in Japan, more than 270,000 records in Bangzi Country, and more than 15,000 records in Lion City...

In East and Southeast Asian countries, the sales volume of "Love is Just One Word" has exceeded 930,000 copies, which is terrifying. It is exactly the sales volume of Asia's top singers.

Chinese-language albums have such sales overseas, and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers include top singers such as Zhang Xueyou, Wang Fei, Zhou Huajian, and Zhang Xinzhe.

The sales volume of Ye Fan's album shows that his influence overseas is completely comparable to that of top singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

You must know that the population of the Lion City is only 3.9 million. Currently, the singer with the highest album sales in the Lion City is Zhang Xueyou, with only 146,000 albums. There are only a handful of singers in the Lion City who can sell more than 100,000 albums.

According to this trend, the sales volume of "Love is Just a Word" in the Lion City will definitely exceed double digits. That's really awesome!

Not to mention that in countries such as Japan, Bangzi Country and Lion City, the price of album sales is even more expensive.

Japanese albums are generally around 3,000-5,000 yen, Bangzi countries are around 12,000-14,000 yen, and Lion City albums are around 20 Singapore dollars.

Therefore, in these three countries, the selling prices of Ye Fan's albums are equivalent to RMB 200, 65 and 90 yuan respectively. The selling prices of albums in other countries are generally higher than those in China.

Therefore, although the number of albums sold abroad by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers is not high, their income is not necessarily lower than in China.

The same goes for Ye Fan. Although overseas album sales are not as high as domestic album sales, the amount of album sharing is not necessarily less than domestic album sales.

And with Ye Fan becoming the king of heaven, and with Warner's channels and help, the sales price of "Love is Just One Word" in Hong Kong and Taiwan has also increased to the normal selling price.

Since the album share agreed between Warner and Ye Fan is 64%, based on overseas album sales and deducting various expenses, Ye Fan can get a share of 20 to 30 million.

Including the income from domestic and subsequent album sales, Ye Fan can earn over 100 million yuan in half a year from just one album, not to mention that Ye Fan also has novels and movies.

Thinking of this, even Xu Zhiwei envied Ye Fan, but what is more important is to pass this news to Warner Jingwen and Ye Fan, and then announce the news to the outside world. I believe that Warner headquarters will look at him differently by then!

When Ye Fan learned the news, he was learning about the situation on the mainland's on-demand charts. At this time, the top ten on the mainland's on-demand charts were:

First place: "Love is Just One Word" by Ye Fan;

Second place: Liu Huan from "Song of a Hero";

Third place: Ye Fan, princess from "A Date at 98";

Fourth place: Fan Xiaoxuan from "Health Song";

Fifth place: "Health Song" Fan Xiaoxuan;

Sixth place: Sister Song from "Good Days";

Seventh place: Andy Lau from "Icy Rain";

Eighth place: "Dang" Ye Fan;

Ninth place: "Rain Butterfly" Ye Fan;

Tenth place: "Expecting Love" by Ye Fan.

The new album has only been released for three weeks, and with the promotion of his movies and autograph sessions, the popularity has continued to grow.

On the domestic demand charts for March, Ye Fan still has 5 songs on the top, which makes the mainland singers very helpless.

"Song of a Hero" is actually very strong. Although "Love is Just One Word" is currently at the top of the list, the frequency of the two songs reaching the top alternately is very high, and the competition for the top spot is very fierce.

Moreover, other songs in the album such as "I Just Love You", "Too Much", "Since I Got You" are also following closely behind.

A few songs such as "The Wind Rises" that were still on the list can be said to have been pushed down by Ye Fan's own songs.

Moreover, "Huan Zhuge Ge" has not yet been aired, but the MV with the content of the TV series has first made this TV series popular. People watched the plot in the MV and became very interested in this TV series.

Several songs belonging to "Huan Zhuge Ge" also became popular. Qiong Yao was so happy that she called Ye Fan every day, flattering her as if it was free of charge.

Why? Because "There Are Tears in the Sky" was a flop and the TV series' performance was not ideal, so Qiong Yao pinned her remaining hopes on "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", which she was not optimistic about at the beginning.

And "There Was a Girl" has become a children's song again, huh? Why add another one?

When Ye Fan returned to the courtyard, he often heard children singing in the alley.

Liu Yifei, who was already somewhat famous, became even more famous thanks to this song. Liu Xiaoli was even more grateful to Ye Fan. She was very glad that she did not go to Chou Country, otherwise she would not be able to have the life she has now!

She also learned from her friends that the life of Chinese people in Chou Country was not that good.

Liu Xiaoli became popular through "Chuang Ming", and with Wang Jinghua's help, she now has no shortage of acting roles and her income is not low. Her life is much better than before.

Yang Mi also became popular, and she was so happy that after she started school, she immediately became a little star in the school.

Ye Fan is cute when he thinks about Yang Mi's pride, but when Yang Mi recalls it a few years later, this may have been her most glorious moment in the music industry.

In the second week after the release of "Love Is Just One Word", the album was once again listed on the Wanwan Golden Songs Chart, causing Wanwan singers to wail.

Because according to this situation, Ye Fan will definitely dominate the Longhu Golden Songs Chart for several weeks in a row. This will make it difficult for some big-name singers in the Bay Area. This is related to their sales and honors.

Is it possible that next year's Wanwan Golden Melody Awards will award all the awards to Ye Fan? It doesn't even have to be next year. If there are no off-site factors, maybe Ye Fan will be able to top this year's Golden Melody Awards.

Ye Fan must have thought about it too, but he knew that Wanwan's side was urinary, so he would definitely not think about this year's Golden Melody Awards. After all, there were Zhang Xueyou and Ren Xianqi last year, so there might be a chance next year!

On Hong Kong Island, songs from "Love Is Just a Word" have also appeared on major charts one after another. There are some songs that have reached the top, but they were quickly pushed down.

Who said this is the base camp of Cantonese songs? Xie Xiaofeng’s second album can be on the charts, so what else can’t be done?

When he heard the bell ringing for class, Ye Fan stopped thinking about it. He looked at the album sales and put the information down.

In the first half of the year, it is not the time for ten songs to dominate the domestic on-demand charts, but when that happens in the second half of the year, the time will come.

But before that, Ye Fan needs to carefully select the songs for the new album, after all, there are not many songs that fit that situation.
Chapter completed!
