While Ye was busy filming "Little Three", he was also paying attention to the situation in the music industry.

Although in August, the disaster became more and more serious, the popularity of "Light Chaser" did not decrease but increased.

Not only because everyone knows about Ye Fan's donation for this album, but also because there are many songs in "Light Chaser" that are very exciting to listen to.

In particular, several songs such as "Light Chaser", "Light", "Facing the Light", "Light" and "Guardian of My Light" are among the most frequently played in the disaster area.

Although "Light Chaser" is a love song, the lyrics and music of this song are very healing. Many disaster-stricken people also like to listen to this song when they are depressed, of course, provided they do not watch the MV.

Several other songs can make people feel hopeful after listening to them, and can bring some spiritual encouragement and motivation to some disaster-stricken people.

Not only individuals in the disaster area will listen to it, but government offices in relevant areas will also play these songs in turn where conditions permit.

In the news background of some TV stations, the songs in "Light Chaser" have indirectly appeared countless times.

Due to the existence of these phenomena, "Light Chaser" has resounded throughout the Yangtze River Basin, and it is difficult to reduce the popularity!

Not to mention that for every album sold by "Light Chaser", part of the money will be used as a donation to support disaster areas.

Therefore, even though the situation in the disaster area is relatively severe, people who are qualified will still support this album, which made Ye Fan feel very relieved when he learned about it.

By August 11th, "Light Chaser" rushed to the tenth place on the on-demand list, knocking "Cruel Moonlight" down, and its upward momentum continues unabated.

On August 13th, Su Rui released a new album "Love Is Here"

In this album, she covered 5 old songs. Although it was a bit lacking in sincerity, her attitude of seeking changes and being strict with the quality of the songs still received a lot of praise.

The quality of "Love Just Comes" and "Appearance" are very high, and there is nothing sloppy in either the lyrics, music or production.

The cover of "River" she sang with Zhang Huimei is also the biggest highlight of the album. The two queens' high-pitched sounds still attracted a lot of people.

On August 14th, Coco Lee released an extremely exquisite music EP "Bang Bang Kan Love".

After her album "Sunny Day Good Mood" sold over 850,000 copies in the Bay Area, she will hold large-scale concerts in Bay North and Gao Xiong on August 2 and 15 respectively.

The release of this EP is not only to celebrate the success of the last album, but also to warm up the concert.

The theme song "365 Days of Missing You" for next year's animated film "Lotus Lantern" comes from this EP.

If this song wasn't extremely difficult to sing, Ye Fan would have come over to sing it for Zeng Li. Unfortunately, as a professional singer, Coco's songs are not ones that ordinary people can sing.

In addition, there is also the English version "Refle" of the best single "Myself", which is the theme song of the Disney animated film "Mulan".

Together with the karaoke versions of "Bang Bang Kan Love" and "Good Mood", this EP brought CoCo's music career to a stage peak, and she gradually became one of the top divas in the Chinese music circle.

Ye Fan also took the time to listen to the karaoke version of these two songs, because the fact that Coco Lee is at the top of her career has a lot to do with her songs being suitable and catering to karaoke.

Karaoke has been controversial since its birth in China, and there are different opinions on whether its impact on the entire music industry is good or bad.

The relationship between karaoke and record companies has therefore become extremely delicate, sometimes contradicting each other, and sometimes complementary and mutually beneficial.

However, as the recording industry becomes increasingly depressed, Karaoke's position and voice in the market are becoming more and more important, and what ultimately determines this is the question of "who has more money"!

Back then, when karaoke first started in Hong Kong Island, it was a prosperous period for the Hong Kong music scene, and records selling millions of dollars were everywhere.

Record companies hold the copyright of most singers' works and occupy a pivotal position in the market.

Therefore, in that era, record companies looked down on the development of karaoke, and it was inevitable that they would be arrogant!

Karaoke, which was still a nascent industry at the time, was developing rapidly, but it did not have enough copyrights and had to turn to record companies everywhere.

By the early 1990s, the karaoke industry had entered its first phase of heyday, and karaoke in the mainland had also started and grown rapidly.

Since this period, some karaoke companies have established their own record companies, and they have been completely integrated with the record companies, and they are no longer two conflicting industries.

Because instead of begging the record company to give you the copyright all day long, it is better to create your own stars and support singers.

By the end of the 1990s, things had changed and record companies had become the weaker side.

Especially after 2000, mass-market karaoke parlors appeared, setting off another wave of craze among the student community.

This mass entertainment market has gained greater space for expansion, and karaoke has begun to become wealthy.

Coupled with the crazy erosion of piracy, record sales have seriously declined, and record companies have been increasingly at a disadvantage from this time on.

From this period onwards, record companies gradually relied on the resources of karaoke, the most obvious one being the shooting of music videos.

Record companies have no money to shoot MVs, but karaoke is becoming more and more profitable, so the cost of shooting MVs falls on karaoke.

Then the content of the MV shot in this way must be suitable for karaoke playback. In the later stage, the record company will even rely on karaoke for promotion!

At this time, karaoke has become a powerful player, and they will promote whichever song they want.

Later, record companies would even base a certain singer's entire record promotion on karaoke because they had money!

But it’s hard to say that this situation is not the reason for the decline of the domestic recording industry. Unlike piracy, this trend affects the creation of songs by musicians!

Nowadays, karaoke culture has indeed affected the judgment of a group of record producers. If any kind of song is popular in the karaoke market, then they should create or cater to this type of song.

The more popular a singer's songs become in the karaoke market, the more naturally the singer himself will be sought after and receive greater publicity.

This will have a huge impact on record companies and musicians’ judgments and decisions about the market. Even though Coco Lee is already very famous, she still released this EP to cater to the karaoke market.

But this doesn't matter to Ye Fan. With his fame and fan base, he doesn't need to care about the influence of karaoke.

And the more his pirated songs are used in karaoke, it is a good thing for Ye Fan, which allows him to start setting up a legal department.

When the time comes, the legal department will have nothing to do. They will send all the lawyers’ letters. It will also be a very fulfilling thing to build a Chaoyang Pizza Hut.

As for those media reporters who had previously smeared Ye Fan, Chaoyang Company had already entrusted a law firm to send legal letters.

Newspapers such as "Nanzhi Weekend" had no choice but to publish an apology to Ye Fan. Let alone the aggrieved feeling.

Ye Fan was very satisfied after reading it, and "Better Weekend" has now become a joke in the media. They were the first newspaper that Ye Fan forced to publish an apology!

Faced with Ye Fan's legal weapons and pressure from the authorities, they had nothing to do if they didn't want to apologize. Ye Fan's donation was not in vain.

Moreover, they had to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to interview people in the entertainment industry there. If they didn't give Ye Fan a reply, they still wouldn't be able to escape another lawyer's letter.

On August 15th, "Cruel Moonlight" returned to the on-demand list, but it pushed "Rain Butterfly" down.

"Light Chaser" moved up by three spots, pushing "Cowards" down.

Moreover, many songs in "Light Chaser" have entered the top 20 on the on-demand charts and are making an impact on the top ten.

In addition, with the popularity of "Tai Chi Master", the film's theme song "Who Belongs to the Hero" has also become popular all over the country, and has entered the top 20 on-demand charts. It also ranks high in other charts.

This song can also be considered a [Chinese style] song, but the style is more in line with today's era.

In the environment of [Chinese style] being popular, "Whose Heroes" has been widely praised, and it has received higher attention and is more popular than the original game!

The creators of this song, Chen Tao and Bian Liunian, also took advantage of the craze of "Chinese style" and became popular in the mainland music circle. Many people approached them and wanted to ask them to create some more "Chinese style" songs...

After a week of sales, "Light Chaser" topped the list of the Bay Area Golden Songs Chart in the seventh week of autumn.

After knocking down Zhou Huajian's album "The Man with a Story", which topped last week's list, the music scene in the Bay Area was filled with despair!

The albums ranked second and third this week are Coco Lee's "Bang Bang Kan Love" and Zhou Huajian's "The Man with a Story".

On August 19, Peng Jiahui released the album "Knock on My Head", and her song "We Met Too Late" made her popular all over the country.

Peng Jiahui and "We Met Too Late" can be said to be a classic masterpiece of one person and one song in the music world.

After it went online, it quickly rushed to the top 20 on-demand charts, having a strong impact on the songs at the top.

And Yu Chengqing also released an EP album "Don't Go".

On August 21st, a certain king's "Revolution and Autorotation" also went on sale. This album also caused quite a stir when it came out.

The title song "Revolution and Autorotation" has been widely praised, and the other title song "Loving You is Equal to Loving Myself" is another hit song in the album.

This song was also Wahaha's advertising song at that time. With the broadcast of the advertisement, this song has considerable national popularity in the mainland, and it also made a certain king one of the hottest idols in 1998.

This album in the original world can be said to be a huge success, and turned Wang from a high-quality idol into a king of singers and songwriters.

He even won the 10th Golden Melody Awards [Best Mandarin Male Singer Award] and [Best Record Producer Award].

He has also become the youngest male singer to win this award at the Golden Melody Awards. However, now that Ye Fan is here, he will definitely not have this chance.

At this time, after two first weeks, "Light Chaser" also reached the top of the on-demand charts, knocking "Candlelight" down.

Three [Chinese style] songs, "Moonlight", "Direction of Light" and "Light", also ranked seventh, ninth and tenth on the charts!

"Cruel Moonlight" was squeezed out of the top ten again, which is really miserable.

So far, Ye Fan has seven new songs entering the top ten on the on-demand list!

This familiar recipe and familiar taste made the mainland music scene and melon-eating people exclaim: One leaf seven times... Ahem, Ye Qilang is back!

It can be said that starting from mid-to-late August, the entire Chinese music scene was in a state of complete chaos on various ranking lists.

But overall, "Light Chaser", which firmly occupies more than a dozen spots in the top of major lists, still maintains its pairing advantage.

This time Warner Headquarters began to count the sales of "Light Chaser" on a weekly basis. After seeing the first week's data, even the well-informed Xu Zhiwei was shocked beyond measure!

He had previously seen that "Love is Just One Word" had an average of 510,000 copies per week and 1.53 million copies sold in the first three weeks, and he felt that it was already the limit of Ye Fanhe's domestic music market.

But "Light Chaser" once again completely refreshed his outlook and cognition.

The sales volume of "Light Chaser" in the first week was: 378,000 copies in the Mainland, 263,000 copies in the Bay Area, and 115,000 copies in Hong Kong Island, with the total sales reaching 756,000 copies!

Not only that, "Light Chaser" also sold 189,000 copies overseas, including 107,000 copies sold in Japan and South Korea, and 82,000 copies sold in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

"Light Chaser" sold 945,000 copies in the first week in Asia, which is close to 1 million copies, which is really off the charts!
