251 The End of the Singer and Ye Fan's Hard Work

On September 22, Zhang Xueyou released a new album "No Regrets".

This is a well-produced Mandarin album, and Jacky Cheung's signature love songs are also outstanding in this album!

Many of the songs have become classics of Mandarin pop music, and this album has also become a collection classic among music fans.

For example, "You Are the Most Precious" sung by Zhang Xueyou and Gao Huijun is the most beautiful, and "A, B, C, D" and fast-paced songs such as "Red" are also quite popular among fans.

The release of Zhang Xueyou's Mandarin album has made the Chinese music scene even more lively.

However, from a sales perspective, the number of copies sold in the first release of "No Regrets" was significantly lower than that of "I Want to Go Flirting with You".

Some people in the industry thought this was the pain of Zhang Xueyou's transformation, but Ye Fan knew that in 1998, Zhang Xueyou's album sales began to decline year by year, and the album sales were no longer at their peak.

On the contrary, Andy Lau's albums are improving year by year, while Zhang Xueyou is an impressionist in Ye Fan's mind.

This is not nonsense, Chaoyang Company has specially compiled statistics on the album sales of Ye Fan's competitors.

Apart from the sudden rise of Xiao Qi, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung have been analyzed the most.

From 1990 to 1997, a total of eight years, in terms of total global album sales, Zhang Xueyou surpassed Andy Lau in 1995 and 1997.

In the other six years, his total album sales were all lower than Andy Lau. When Ye Fan saw this data, he was stunned.

In the end, the analysis made by Chaoyang Company’s Music Department is:

Generally speaking, Andy Lau's album sales and popularity are top-notch. Jacky Cheung's album sales are okay but not popular, and his popularity is not as good as Andy Lau.

Therefore, the album sales characteristics of Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung are:

The sales volume of almost every album of Andy Lau is very good and stable, while the sales volume of Jacky Cheung's albums are high and low, with low-selling albums accounting for more than half.

Ye Fan couldn't believe it, but data didn't lie. In the face of real data, Ye Fan could only believe it.

It can only be said that Xueyou brother lost in appearance...

But next year, not only Zhang Xueyou, but all singers’ physical album sales will decline to varying degrees, including Ye Fan!

Because Samsung subsidiary Sehan has launched the world's first MP3 player - MPMan F10 this year.

MP3 will begin to become widely popular next year, and with the rise of the Internet, the physical album industry will soon begin to decline!

On September 24, Sunja released a new album "I'M Not Star"

On September 25, Su Yongkang released a new album "Don't Want to Be Happy Alone (Cantonese)". This album is considered one of Su Yongkang's masterpieces.

On the day this album was released, the song "The More We Kiss The More Sad" became popular throughout Hong Kong and was very popular in the Cantonese-speaking region.

And this album ultimately sold 130,000 copies in Hong Kong Island, which is a very good result among Cantonese albums!

On September 27, Jimmy Lin released a new album "Before Dawn";

On September 29, Xin Xiaoqi released a new album "Every Woman"...

These are relatively well-known Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. Miriam Yang, Du Dewei and Yu Chengqing who released an EP also joined in the fun during this period, making the Chinese music scene during this period extremely exciting!

Not only that, but something even more intense is yet to come!

On October 1st, Aaron Kwok released a new album "Allure". Fortunately, this is a Cantonese album.

On the same day, Mo Qixian and Peter Ho also released new albums, and Zhang Yu also released an EP.

It will be even better on the 2nd!

Ye Fan’s good eldest sister, Queen of Heaven, also released her new album - "Singing Tour"!

This classic album is definitely one of Princess’s most famous masterpieces!

Never heard of it? Then you must have heard of "Red Beans"!

"Singing Tour" has a total of 13 songs, and the most fascinating song among them is the Chinese and Cantonese version of "Red Bean"!

"Red Bean" is the song with the weakest characteristics in Wang Fei's album "Singing Tour", but it is the most popular song.

"Red Bean" can be said to be the most popular and widely sung song representative of the "post-princess era", making the princess popular all over Asia again.

The cumulative sales of the original "Singing Tour" in Asia exceeded 2.5 million copies after its release, and it topped the Malaysian RIM Chinese album sales chart for 7 consecutive weeks;

In Singapore, "Singing Tour" stayed in the top ten of the SPVA sales list for 6 months, and won the annual sales champion of the Singapore SPVA album best-selling list the following year.

With this album, the princess won awards at major Chinese music awards in 1999!

On October 8th, Xu Huaiyu, who had only released his album for a few months, released a new album "Forward". This is also Xu Huaiyu's second album with sales exceeding one million.

Don’t say you haven’t heard such a dynamic and classic song as “Forward”.

In 2003, the song "Forward" was selected by the YS Children's Channel as the opening song of the "Happy Experience" column.

This album became a hit in the Chinese music scene as soon as it was released, and it was a huge hit.

Xu Huaiyu's "I Am a Girl" made her popular all over the country, and "Forward" made her a household name in one shot!

Rolling Stone even regarded her as a cash cow.

Xu Huaiyu even won titles such as "Teenage Killer", "Female Singer" and "Public Queen"...

Anyway, Ye Fan admires the speed with which these Hong Kong and Taiwan singers release new albums. If they have a good title song, they can put together an album with 9 songs and release it.

Fortunately, Ye Fan has very high standards for himself. Otherwise, the songs in his previous albums were separated into albums for release. Four albums in one year would definitely be a piece of cake.

It is precisely because the Chinese music scene is so lively that Ye Fan fell silent at its peak, resulting in "Light Chaser" with only 6 songs left in the top ten on the mainland's demand charts.

Songs such as "Meet You Too Late", "365 Days of Missing You" and "Waiting for You to Love Me" have risen to the top ten again.

However, on the Wanwan Golden Songs Chart, "Light Chaser" still dominates the top spot. It has won the championship for 8 consecutive weeks, and there is no downward trend in sight.

However, Xiao Qi's "Love in the Pacific" has been firmly in the second place for 5 weeks, and there is no hope of change!

Even the new albums of Zhang Xueyou and Wang Fei could only compete for the position of third and fourth when it was first released. It is unrealistic to pull down Ye Fan and Xiao Qi in a short time.

Although the music scene is lively, Ye Fan doesn't care at all. He is "working hard" to make up for the courses last semester!

[Effort] is a good word. One slave has to contribute two efforts, which completely explains Ye Fan's current state!

In addition to taking extra classes, he also had to find time to write the MV scripts for several title songs of Zeng Li's new album. He didn't even have time to rest and relax during the National Day holiday.

By October 8, Ye Fan had already written the MV scripts for four songs including "She Said".

It’s still the same old routine, copy the original MV, then change the content that is not in line with this era, and then... get it done and call it a day!

Fortunately, there is still some good news in the past few days, which can help Ye Fan maintain his passion and joy in these boring and comfortable days.

As the foreign translations of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" have been released one after another, the sales volume in China, which has declined due to piracy, has increased abroad!

In August, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" sold a total of 2.47 million copies domestically and in Asia, including 920,000 copies in the mainland, 760,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and 790,000 copies overseas.

Moreover, the increase in overseas sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" not only makes the cultural output more influential, but also makes the overall sales higher!

In the past two months, the sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were 127 million RMB, and Ye Fan received more than 18 million RMB.

Ye Fan paid relatively little tax this time. After all, he had donated so much money before. Not to mention the tax deduction policy, relevant associations and yamen also applied for a lot of tax deductions for Ye Fan.

This monthly income is tens of millions, and Ye Fan has never calculated how much money he has for a long time. The nearly 600 million US dollars in Zhongsheng Company alone can allow Ye Fan to do nothing, just lie down and enjoy 22

Year!

But a dog author can’t do it, so he has to continue!

Although the 8th was the day when the Chinese Academy of Drama closed the holidays and started school, Ye Fan walked out of the school leisurely and rushed towards the RM Assembly Hall.

It's not that Chang Li allowed Ye Fan to take leave, but today is the day when "Assassination of Qin" premieres in the Great Hall.

Mr. Han personally came to school to take Ye Fan to watch the movie.

The leaders of the Chinese Theater School also personally welcomed Mr. Han.

Therefore, Chang Li had no choice but to give Ye Fan some face. She had no choice but to let Ye Fan go out.

Mr. Han did not want to ease the relationship between Ye Fan and Director Chen.

Each of these two people had a worse temper than the other, so he didn't bother to care about them.

The main reason is that Ye Fan is famous for his "divine prophecies" and "divine vision". Master Han wants to hear Ye Fan's views on this movie so that he can have a good idea of ​​"Assassination of Qin"!

Although this movie is entirely funded by Japan, 70 million RMB is not a small amount. If he loses it, he will not be able to help Kaizi, who is living a good life in his childhood.

This will have a bad impact on the international community. How can he go to International Capital to deceive...er...to attract investment?

When Ye Fan heard Master Han's idea, he sneered in his heart. "Assassination of Qin" has a chance to win an award. Want to make money? Dream on!

When the two arrived at the Great Hall, it was already densely packed with people, with a visual estimate of at least 3,000 people!

Watching this scene, Ye Fan was very impressed. Director Chen was not very good at making money, but he was good at organizing events and creating big scenes.

Not to mention making a movie to create a "scenic spot" for others, Ye Fan just doesn't have the energy to get the relevant yamen to approve him to have a premiere in the city hall.

Ye Fan refused Han Sanye's invitation to sit in the front row. He was fully armed and found a secluded seat to sit down.

It's not that he was afraid of meeting Director Chen, he was afraid that after watching the movie he couldn't help but criticize Director Chen in front of so many people, which would make Mr. Han, the relevant leaders and the other leading actors look bad.

As soon as 2 o'clock arrived, the premiere of "Assassination of Qin" officially began.

Watching the process of other people's movie premieres, Ye Fan really felt that it was stinky and long.

Especially when he saw Director Chen high-spirited on the stage, expounding his views on film art at length, Ye Fan couldn't help but want to tell him to get off quickly, so as not to delay him from finishing the movie and having dinner.

After all, this movie is nearly three hours long, and it takes at least five or six o'clock, or even seven o'clock, to watch it.

School ended at 5pm, so how could he endure being forced to work overtime! Mr. Han and Director Chen didn’t give them overtime pay!

There was nothing I could do about it. Before Director Chen lost all his magic, he was still very popular in the mainland film industry. In addition, this was the Great Hall, so Ye Fan still controlled himself.

And this is not the Internet era yet, there is no live broadcast or barrage, otherwise Ye Fan really wants Director Chen to see how netizens "kindly greet" him!

So I can only say that the Great Hall is solemn and solemn, and the audience in the audience is very qualified. If you have any ideas, you will only greet Director Chen in your heart!
