207 Music, Google and Going to the Bay
In March, many singers in the music industry have released albums one after another, but most of them are female singers. Except for big-name singers, male singers have not released many albums. Ye Fan's dominance in the music industry is no joke.
March 1st
Soul singer Wang Zuxian——"Isolated from the World"
Peng Ling - "One Thousand and One Nights" (Cantonese)
March 6
Principal Tan - "Care" (Cantonese)
March 13
Sun Yaowei - "Love Is Borrowed and Returned"
March 15
Xu Meijing——"Good Meijing"
March 20
Wu Qixian - "Qixian Leaves a Correct Essay"
March 28
Lin Zhixuan - "Mona Lisa's Tears"
Wang Zuxian's new album, judging from the cover, she still looks pretty. As for the quality and sales of the album, well... you should understand it based on her title of soul singer, right?
Principal Tan still has a lot of fans in Hong Kong Island, and the sales of "Care About" are also good in Hong Kong Island. Although the mainland version covers three songs from "Care About", its sales are average.
Sun Yaowei is also very popular these days. He is known as the "Four Little Kings" of Hong Kong Island and is popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
These days, the only person who can compete with Sun Yaowei is Xiao Xuanfeng, but now Sun Yaowei's popularity far exceeds that of Xiao Xuanfeng. After all, Xiao Xuanfeng's performance when he returned to the entertainment industry was not very good.
He is one of the few young singers who lives up to Ye Fan and dares to release a new album at this time, and the quality of "Love Is Borrowed and Returned" is also good. This is also the confidence of Sun Yaowei and Golden Point Records.
In addition, he signed a contract with Japan Economic Company to develop in Japan, and he and Noriko Sakai became senior brothers. He will hold a concert in Japan in the second half of this year.
But he was too popular, and there were so many announcements that he had no time to memorize lyrics or rehearse. Sun Yaowei felt unsure, so he wanted to apply to the senior management of the Japanese company to postpone the concert, but he was rejected and even insulted.
When Ye Fan found out about this, he still lamented for a long time. The singer's appearance was glamorous, but without autonomy, he was easily suppressed by others and would soon become a star.
As for the new albums of Lin Zhixuan and Mo Qixian, they are also selling well. Together with Sun Yaowei and the others, they have a considerable impact on Ye Fan's new album in the Bayan market.
However, on the Wanwan Golden Songs Dragon and Tiger Chart, Ye Fan still dominates the top spot and has been the chart champion for 5 consecutive weeks.
Li Wen and Chen Xiaodong at the back have been competing for the second place on the list, and their decline has been obvious, and they cannot threaten Ye Fan at all. Looking at this trend, Ye Fan's dominance of the list can still persist!
People in the Wanwan music scene were really speechless when they saw the chart situation. If this continues, there will definitely be no problem for Ye Fan to dominate the chart for another 7 weeks, and he may even surpass the previous record.
But the most uncomfortable and confusing thing is the organizer of the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards. They didn't know whether or which awards should be given to Ye Fan's album last year. He is here again this year?
If Ye Fan's albums have always been of this level, wouldn't the Golden Melody Awards become Ye Fan's back garden in the future? But if they are deliberately suppressed, the credibility of the Golden Melody Awards will no longer exist!
Therefore, what the organizers of the Music Awards talked about most during the meeting this year was discussing how to award Ye Fan the award, and no one else did.
In April, new albums from mainland singers such as Huang Sanshi, Guo Feng, Cui Jian, etc. will also be released one after another. Na Ying will also release the album "Conquest" on the 15th that made her really popular across the country.
It's a pity that the timing is not coincidental, otherwise Ye Fan really wants to release an album at the same time as her, so that she can know what it means to truly "conquer" the music world!
In terms of the Mainland on-demand charts, "98" came from behind and took the top spot, pushing "Love is Just One Word" to second place, and "Song of a Good Man" dropped to third place.
Due to the popularity of "Chuang Ming", "Too Much" not only edged out Chrissy Chang's "Intuition", but also climbed to sixth place, also edged out "Sleet".
Moreover, "Bingyu" was overtaken by several songs from "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and dropped to the tenth place. As a result, Ye Fan has 6 more songs in the top ten of the on-demand list!
Mainland music fans are already used to this phenomenon, and they also feel that Ye Fan’s songs are too few on the charts.
They feel that it is normal for Ye Fan to have 7 songs in the top ten of the on-demand chart. If there are only 6 songs, it means that Ye Fan's level has dropped.
Mainland reporters and singers heard these remarks and felt that they were outrageous. Isn't 6 songs enough? Generally speaking, singers have to burn a lot if they have only one song on the list, but Ye Fan has 6 songs!
So Huang Sanshi originally planned to release a new album in early March. Seeing how strong Ye Fan's new album was, he abruptly postponed the release of the album and released the new album on April 1st.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, singers such as Tai Ziji, Li Wen, and Zheng Zhihua have also released new albums one after another. In addition, the popularity of Ye Fan's film and television dramas has gradually declined, which has also led to a decline in the sales of "Love is Just One Word".
However, this sales decline is relative, and the overall sales volume is still very scary.
In March, "Love is Just One Word" sold 770,000 copies in the Mainland, 310,000 copies in Bay Area, and 130,000 copies in Hong Kong Island. The total domestic sales volume was 1.21 million copies.
In addition, the overseas sales volume reached 820,000, and the total sales volume reached 2.03 million. This sales performance made Ye Fan still proud of the Chinese music scene, and allowed Ye Fan to receive more than 50 million RMB in album share.
And after "Huan Zhuge Ge" is aired, Ye Fan believes that the sales of "Love is Just One Word" will usher in a rebound, and the on-demand charts will usher in some changes!
Originally, "My Fair Princess" was originally scheduled to be released in Wanwan on April 28, but there was a delay mainly in terms of funding for the filming and the selection of actors.
However, now with Ye Fan's investment and help from actors, the filming date for "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" has been moved much earlier, so "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" will be released in Wanwan on April 12th.
In mainland China, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was originally released on October 28. The reason was, of course, censorship.
Ye Fan can't wait for "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" to be released in China in October. However, even with Ye Fan's help, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" will still be released in China on April 25th. This is already the best result.
Already.
On April 10th, Ye Fan, Hu Jing, Huang Xiaoming and other leading actors are preparing to go to Wanwan to participate in the promotional activities of "Huan Zhuge Ge".
Originally, Ye Fan didn't need to go. He was just an investor and not a leading actor, but there was no way. He was more famous as an investor than all the leading actors. How could Qiong Yao let him go?
After Qiong Yao repeatedly begged and promised to increase Ye Fan's investment share in the second two films of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", Ye Fan reluctantly agreed.
But this wave of Qiong Yao was tricked by Ye Fan again. Hu Jing was going to Wanwan. With such a wonderful world between two people, why wouldn't Ye Fan not go? He just needed a reason to get some benefits by the way.
But before going to Wanwan, Ye Fan had to settle the matter of investing in Google. Yes, the investment targets that Cao Xin negotiated for him were none other than the two founders of Google.
In the original time and space, in Google's first round of financing, you could get 10% of the shares with US$100,000, but in the second round of financing, you needed US$25 million to get 10% of the shares.
Now that Ye Fan has encountered Google's first round of financing, he must resolve this matter first.
Cao Xin has already negotiated terms for him. Ye Fan invested 120,000 US dollars and obtained 10% of the shares. In addition, he will have priority investment rights in Google's second round of financing. The shares will be discussed at that time.
Although there was an extra 20,000 US dollars, who knew that Ye Fan would still want to invest in shares later, and whether it was 100,000 US dollars or 120,000 US dollars, it could turn into hundreds of millions of US dollars in a few years.
Ye Fan would not hesitate to do this kind of hugely profitable business even if it cost tens or millions of dollars. If they weren't unwilling to give more shares, Ye Fan would really want as much as he wanted!
After Ye Fan transferred the money and got the share contract, he felt relieved and set off for Wanwan with the others.
Hu Jing was very happy to be able to go to the world of two with Ye Fan again. If Ye Fan hadn't often reminded her, let alone Zhang Guoli and Liu Xiaoli, Huang Xiaoming would have been able to tell that the relationship between the two was unusual.
On the night of arriving at Wanwan, before Ye Fan could check whether there were any paparazzi in the hotel, Hu Jing sneaked into Ye Fan's room and couldn't wait to hug Ye Fan.
Hu Jing was so depressed along the way, well...don't get it wrong, it was just emotionally suppressed.
"It's been so difficult on this journey. I can't get too close to you."
Seeing Hu Jing's aggrieved expression, Ye Fan also felt apologetic, and it was not easy to answer this question.
"You're not famous yet, so it's okay to stir up scandals. Being in a relationship is not good for your future development, and you're going to be famous soon. Have you thought about giving up your acting career?"
After hearing what Ye Fan said, Hu Jing said nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid. I'm an actor and I don't want to be a star. I know this will have a great impact on you..."
So Ye Fan laughed and said: "If the news of my puppy love spreads, it will have a bad influence on young people."
Hu Jing rolled his eyes at Ye Fan and said, "You still know that you are not. Your body is like that of an ox, and you don't look like an 18-year-old."
"Hey, what is this?"
Ye Fan followed Hu Jing's line of sight and found that there were many letters and photos from Taiwanese girls on the table in the room. Hu Jing came so quickly that Ye Fan didn't have time to clean them up.
This made Ye Fan feel very speechless. These people are really awesome and they can get his check-in information every time.
Hu Jing walked over, picked up the letter and read it. The content and photos of the letter were very explicit. Ye Fan explained the situation to Hu Jing on the side.
After hearing Ye Fan's explanation, Hu Jing nodded. She did not doubt Ye Fan.
Not to mention outside the school, there are so many beauties inside the school who want to throw themselves into Ye Fan's arms. If Ye Fan is willing, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be the groom every night.
This made Hu Jing feel both proud and sad. Ye Fan, whom others could not get, was now his man.
