245 The Legend of Double Dragons?(1/2)
August 29, the crew of "Infernal Affairs"
Ye Fan's arrival was warmly welcomed by the crew. This character does not look like a character with only a few scenes.
"Mr. Ye, I've finally come to you!"
Looking at the excited Liu Weiqiang, Ye Fan smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Director Liu, I was really busy some time ago, so I came here as soon as I have time."
"I understand, I understand. The main reason is that I want to know more about the details of this movie with you. There are many parts that become more interesting the more I think about them."
"Okay, let's discuss it when we have time."
After chatting with Liu Weiqiang, the main creators such as Wei Jiahui and Zeng Zhiwei also came over to say hello to Ye Fan.
Not to mention people familiar to Ye Fan such as Chen Daoming, Huang Bo, Liu Jialing and Zheng Xiuwen. Ye Fan chatted with them for a long time.
"Brother Fan, thank you for recommending me to play this role."
Looking at Wu Azu who looked grateful to him, Ye Fan smiled and said: "That's because you strive for success. I watched "The Love of a Beautiful Boy" and it was a good performance."
Hearing this, Wu Azu looked embarrassed. This movie was released on August 14th. The scale was really a bit big. He was embarrassed to have filmed it himself. He didn't expect Ye Fan to watch it.
After teasing Wu Azu for a while, Ye Fan went to chat with the two protagonists with satisfaction.
"Brother Hua, brother, long time no see."
Andy Lau smiled and said, "You are finally here. How many days are you going to stay here this time?"
"It will take four or five days. After filming, I will rush back to film the TV series."
Leslie Cheung and Ye Fan hugged each other and said with a smile: "You guys can do it, your new album is so great, Andy Lau's new album is so powerful that you can't even breathe."
Andy Lau pretended to be angry and said: "What you said, Mr. Rong, who's album is not afraid of Ah Fan's "Light Chaser" now, let alone me."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Brother means that in his heart, apart from my album, the rest of the new album is your best, right brother."
After hearing what Ye Fan said, the three of them burst out laughing.
"Xiao Fan, you still know how to talk, that's what I mean, but Ren Xianqi's "Love in the Pacific" is also very good. Now you have a rival."
"Brother Xiao Qi is already strong. Besides, it's good to have a rival so that you won't feel lonely."
At this time, Andy Lau asked mysteriously: "Ah Fan, I heard that there is a second or even third part of "Infernal Affairs"?"
Leslie Cheung also looked at Ye Fan with a gossipy face, while Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Azu didn't know when they touched a few people and pricked up their ears.
Ye Fan glanced around and whispered: "You guys are quite well informed. There is indeed a second and third part."
"But in the second part, Azu and I play the leading roles, as well as Brother Zeng. You two will have to wait until the third part."
As soon as these words came out, several people laughed, Wu Azu looked excited, and Zeng Zhiwei also looked satisfied.
Since the filming of "Infernal Affairs", veteran filmmakers can feel how good the quality of this movie is.
But he didn't let them ask any more questions. After Ye Fan said this, he said hello and went to put on makeup, leaving a few people guessing about the plot of the second part...
Leslie Cheung arranged to meet Ye Fan that night. In addition to the director, several leading actors, Chen Daoming and other people Ye Fan knew, and bosses Xiang and Yang also arrived one after another.
Of course, Ms. Huo was naturally brought over by Boss Yang, and Leslie Cheung winked at him.
Ye Fan was thick-skinned and didn't care. He directly asked Ms. Huo to sit next to him. The unsuspecting people were whispering, but no one dared to say anything.
After dinner, Ye Fan left directly with Ms. Hao. Zhang Yushan could only find excuses to postpone her stay with her until tomorrow.
Because seeing Ms. Huo's charming and fiery eyes, Ye Fan felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to leave tonight, and he would definitely not be able to make a difference after a few times!
Ms. Huo's capital followed Ye Fan's capital to move to several places, and she made more than ten times the profit. Now she is very willing to do whatever posture Ye Fan asks her to do.
But this is a good thing for Ye Fan. If it can be done with money, he doesn't have to put in too much emotion. Anyway, the boss will foot the bill.
Bah~ What a scumbag!
By August 31, the economic crisis in Russia and Asia and the political unrest in some places affected the global stock market.
The Wall Street stock market plummeted, falling below the 8,000-point mark for the first time in seven months, with a daily drop of more than 6%.
This makes international speculators a little bit uneasy. After all, most of them are based on Wall Street, and they cannot just pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.
The speculator alliance of the predatory crocodiles finally showed signs of instability...
It’s September
A certain king’s album sold 100,000 copies in Wanwan within one week of its release.
This sales volume would be a big boast in normal times, but unfortunately, even without Ye Fan, he still has Xiao Qi above him.
"Love in the Pacific" has been a hot seller since its release, with sales exceeding 200,000 in just a few days. The results are extremely impressive.
Although Xiao Qi has begun to enter the film and television industry, his current main business is still a singer.
Compared with the performance of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes", Xiao Qi is more interested in the sales and feedback of the new album.
Based on the sales volume in the past few days, Xiaoqi's appeal in Taiwan is worthy of being named the new king of Taiwan.
It can be said that in the Chinese music scene, Xiao Qi and "Love in the Pacific" are better than one person and more than ten thousand people. Except for Ye Fan and "Light Chaser", they swept all the way, and then pointed at "Light Chaser"!
On Hong Kong Island, although "Love in the Pacific" is not as good as those Cantonese albums, it is still very strong.
Because "Love in the Pacific" has 13 songs, the hit songs from the previous two albums "Heart Is Too Soft" and "Very Hurt" are also included.
It can be said that it is of high quality, quantity and popularity, and it is novel if the album does not sell well.
Moreover, "Look at the Girl Opposite" from "Love in the Pacific" is definitely the most popular song in 1998. Xiao Qi also made his debut on the 1999 CCTV Spring Festival Gala with this song!
Although this song is A Niu's famous song, it is not as influential as Ren Xianqi's version. It can be said that the popularity of "Girl Look Over" is not much inferior to that of "Heart Is Too Soft".
But the only thing Xiao Qi is worried about now is the mainland market.
Unlike the previous two years when the Chinese music scene focused on the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, although piracy still abounds in the mainland, the current mainland market is different due to Ye Fan's development.
The market potential and strength that have emerged from the huge population base have already made everyone look at it and even salivate!
Moreover, Xiaoqi's "Heart Is Too Soft" became famous in the mainland before returning to Wanwan. He is considered to be the first group of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers to taste the sweetness of the mainland market.
Therefore, both Xiaoqi and the Rolling Stones company behind him are very concerned about the mainland sales of "Love in the Pacific".
Before Xiao Qi released his new album, they didn't need to study the market situation. They all knew the abnormal strength of "Light Chaser".
Moreover, "Light Chaser" has been released for more than half a month, and this strong situation has not weakened at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi feels a little sick. He has a very good relationship with Ye Fan, and he also knows and admires Ye Fan's strength.
However, both albums were released 20 days apart. Xiao Qi's "Love in the Pacific" is awesome enough, but Ye Fan's "Light Chaser" is ridiculously awesome.
Xiao Qi has already attached great importance to Ye Fan and "Light Chaser". When Ye Fan asked someone to send him this album, he listened to it immediately.
He felt that his thoughts on Ye Fan's talent were high enough, but after listening to "Light Chaser", he was shocked again by Ye Fan's talent. Where is Ye Fan's limit?
So many high-quality songs were composed by Ye Fan alone, well... there was also Su Shi.
He has only seen such talent in a few people, namely Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng and Huang Zhan.
His junior fellow student Ashin is also very good at writing songs, but he has no outstanding results for the time being and cannot compare with the other three.
He can't even compare to Jay Chou who was discovered by Ye Fan. Jay Chou is now at least somewhat famous and has begun to realize his musical talent.
He heard from Ye Fan that Jay Chou was preparing for his third album, and Ye Fan was very sure that Jay Chou's third album would be a hit, which was even more outrageous.
Ye Fan himself is not only awesome, but someone he meets by chance at a book signing can also become a potential new star, or even a new generation singer. Do you want to be so legendary?
No, Ye Fan is more than that. Xiao Qi saw from "Light Chaser" that Ye Fan is no longer satisfied with his ambition to dominate the Chinese music scene.
Ye Fan's original English song revealed his new goal, and he has begun to pave the way for the English song market.
After listening to "Light Chaser", Xiao Qi knew at that time that this album was his biggest rival.
The current momentum and popularity of "Light Chaser" feels like it was released at the same time as his new album, which also confirms his idea.
This makes him very miserable, but he still can't compete!
In the past few days, Taiwanese media have said that he is tied with Ye Fan, although Xiao Qi does not feel that he can be tied with Ye Fan now.
As soon as "Light Chaser" came out, it rubbed all the albums of Chinese music singers on the ground. Even the English version of "Light Years Away" has become popular in Japan and South Korea. How can I use a hammer to surpass it?
However, due to public opinion, his "Love in the Pacific" is the only album that can compete with Ye Fan in the Chinese music industry. It is not easy for him to undermine the morale of his own media, so he can only bite the bullet and accept it.
But admitting it does not mean that it can change the facts. All the songs in "Light Chaser", yes, that's right! All the songs continue to dominate the major music charts in the Mainland.
It can be said that Ye Fan's songs are at the top of all the major music charts in the mainland, while other songs are scattered in the top five or ten, suppressing other songs, and the momentum is simply scornful!
Of course Xiao Qi doesn't want to compete with Ye Fan, but if his new album wants to do well in the mainland market, he must hit the charts to increase the influence of the songs in the album.
Although the two have a good relationship, he has been put on a high pedestal by the Hong Kong and Taiwan media. It concerns his future in the company and the sales of his new album, and there is no room for him to be humble or retreat.
There is bound to be a real fight between the two.
"Tuk Tuk~"
Just when Xiao Qi was thinking about this, the doorbell woke him up.
"Please come in!"
The door opened and his agent, Ke Shangmin, walked in with a stack of information.
"Xiao Qi, the company has made plans to promote your new album in the mainland."
To be continued...
