260 The Encounter With Andy And Brother Long(1/2)
"Dudu~~"
Early in the morning, Ye Fan's eldest brother rang a shrill bell.
These days, Big Brother's ringtones all have a fixed "Dudu" sound, and Ye Fan has long been tired of hearing it.
If he hadn't known that mobile phones would usher in a big development next year, he would have given this bulky big brother to his father to install and dismantle, so that he would be out of sight and out of mind, and he would buy a new mobile phone.
"Hey! Xiao Fan! Yesterday's sales statistics are out! Last week, the global sales of "Light Chaser" exceeded 650,000, and the sales volume officially exceeded 10 million!"
Listening to his second uncle's extremely excited shouting on the other end of the phone, Ye Fan's head finally became clearer.
In just over three months, "Light Chaser" has achieved sales of tens of millions. Who in the previous Chinese music world could do this?
This sales speed is probably only achieved by kings and queens such as MJ and Madonna in Europe and the United States!
Ye Fan said happily: "How about it, uncle? I made a mistake in the previous donation plan. If we don't contribute such a large sales volume domestically in the first month, the time for album sales to exceed 10 million will have to be postponed."
"I didn't do anything wrong. I understand your painstaking efforts. It's a waste of my self-proclaimed knowledge of people and sophistication. Compared with you, the situation is still small."
"We make so much money, it will make people jealous if we don't spend some of it, as long as we have enough money."
"I understand. By the way, the celebration party is going to be held on the 20th. Can you come over if you have time that day?"
"If I have time, I will come over that day. Please watch and announce the news."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Jinghua and the two Mr. Xus to see how to maximize the value of this news!"
Under Ye Fan's influence, Zhang Xing also learned to maximize the value of all good news.
After Ye Fan hung up the phone, he was thinking, no wonder Hong Kong and Taiwan singers attach so much importance to overseas markets.
Although the domestic market is large, which helps them in terms of fame and sales figures, it is definitely not as good as overseas markets in terms of income from selling albums.
Moreover, Ye Fan's domestic base is almost solid. Without the increase in overseas sales, it would be even more difficult for "Light Chaser" to achieve the achievement of tens of millions of sales so quickly.
Not to mention in terms of revenue, the sales share of "Light Chaser" in the mainland was only over 30 million in two months, accounting for less than one-third of the total revenue.
Fortunately, this part of the money is still within the scope of the tax exemption policy, otherwise Chaoyang Company would receive even less money.
Arriving at Beijing Film Studio, Ye Fan happened to see Director Chen escorting Chen Hong to the set.
Director Chen, who had been smiling just now while chatting with Li Shaohong, immediately lost his smile and became expressionless after seeing Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was not used to him either. After greeting Li Shaohong and Chen Hong enthusiastically, he walked to the dressing room.
When Director Chen saw this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He couldn't remember how long it had been in the country that no one dared to ignore him like this.
Li Shaohong looked at Director Chen, who had an ugly face, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Kai, Ye Fan is young and ignorant. Don't mind. I will talk to him later. Why don't you say hello when we meet him?"
Although he knew that Li Shaohong was just saying polite words, Director Chen's face brightened slightly when he saw that she was still facing him.
"No need, he and I have broken up with each other a long time ago. I won't pay attention to him even if he greets me. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."
Looking at Director Chen's leaving figure, Chen Hong and Li Shaohong looked at each other helplessly. They had no way to interfere in this matter, and they did not want to.
"You said that Ye Fan is always very nice to others. How come he is like this when he comes to your husband's place?"
Chen Hong said speechlessly: "After all, he is still a young man. He has become famous so early. It is normal for him not to tolerate others' criticism. His temper has become famous in the industry for a day or two."
"It's just that my husband didn't expect that Ye Fan would dare to deny him face like this. I can only say that he was in trouble."
Li Shaohong smiled faintly after hearing this. She didn't think Ye Fan was a fool. Ye Fan's behavior during this period did not look like a young man?
"Maybe. His comments in response to some media in Hong Kong and Taiwan are quite sharp. I think he is the most courageous and courageous person in the industry!"
Chen Hong nodded. In this regard, Ye Fan is the undisputed number one in domestic entertainment, but it is estimated that no one wants to compete with him for this title.
The two chatted for a while and then went to prepare for the start of work...
On the other side, after a period of promotion by [Chaoyang Company], Zeng Li’s release of a new album has also become more popular.
However, unlike Ye Fan, the first two songs from Zeng Li's new album that hit the charts received a mediocre response.
Although Zeng Li's reputation is not lacking in popularity, after listening to her first two songs, Zeng Li's fans naturally thought they sounded good, but the music industry and other public did not have high expectations for her.
I just feel that Zeng Li, like other actors, has followed the path of acting and singing, which has enriched her career as an artist.
But today, after the song "She Said" started to hit the charts, it not only shocked many people in the music industry, but also made many music lovers change their views on Zeng Li!
But what has aroused heated discussion among many people and people is that the songwriter of "She Said" is actually Ye Fan!
This melon is very exciting, although this is not the first time Ye Fan has written songs for others, and he has sung duets with the princess and Zeng Li.
But writing a song for Zeng Li alone, not only letting her sing it alone, but also such a beautiful love song, that was definitely the first time.
Not only Ye Fan's fans, but also many fans are speculating about the relationship between the two, which makes many people very sure that the two of them are having an affair.
So the scandal between Ye Fan and Zeng Li has become popular again!
Ye Fan was not easy to interview on the set, but Zeng Li, who was constantly running for promotions, was targeted by many reporters, who followed her schedule and wanted to interview her.
[Chaoyang Company] has already made preparations in this regard, teaching Zeng Li how to answer reporters. Wang Jinghua even went to publicity runs with Zeng Li in person, just to help her deal with reporters.
Therefore, Zeng Li’s answers to questions in this area were both watertight and thought-provoking, so the news that Zeng Li was going to release a new album finally became popular!
This made Zhang Xing feel that all the previous publicity expenses were wasted. Normal publicity is not as effective as speculation about scandals, so why bother with so much effort!
Especially Zeng Li's words - "This is a very meaningful song to me", caused an uproar in the entertainment industry and society!
Many people thought that her words were an official announcement of her relationship with Ye Fan, which made fans of Ye Fan and Zeng Li very sad.
Fans of both parties soon began to criticize each other on the Internet, saying that Ye Fan/Zeng Li were not good enough for each other.
Of course, Ye Fan's female fans must have the upper hand, while Zeng Li's male fans have a relatively high level of trolling.
As for Ye Fan's male fans, they are more interested. After all, they just like Ye Fan's songs and know that he is in a relationship with Zeng Li. At most, they are just jealous and envious.
However, Ye Fan and Zeng Li have never responded to the claims that the two are in love.
As time went by, many fans of the two people threatened to quit being fans, and many fans turned negative.
There were even radical female fans of Ye Fan who couldn't accept the news that he was in love, and threatened to die for Ye Fan, etc., which caused quite a stir.
This situation finally alarmed Ye Fan. He did not expect that he would encounter the same situation as Andy Lau and Cheng Long. Some fans acted excessively because of his relationship.
Zhang Xing, Wang Jinghua and Zeng Li were also shocked by the news. After discussing with Ye Fan, [Chaoyang Company] soon issued a statement.
It is said that there is no romance between Ye Fan and Zeng Li. "She Said" is one of the theme songs of "Sassy Girlfriend" and is used to promote the movie.
Not only did Zeng Li sing this song, Ye Fan also recorded a male version of "She Said", which was included in his new album.
What Zeng Li said means that this is her first movie, and "She Said" is also the first song Zeng Li has recorded, which is very memorable and so on.
To sum up, everything is just to hype up the scandal between the two for the purpose of promoting the movie, so that the public and their fans should not think too much about it.
This reason seems to many people in the industry to be a hoax, and they don't believe that the two of them are not having an affair.
However, they didn't dare to talk nonsense without evidence. Ye Fan's "prestige" and strength were there, and many people wanted to join [Chaoyang Company]. They were smart enough to offend Ye Fan at this time.
And the insider who knows that Zeng Li is really Ye Fan's girlfriend has a better relationship with Ye Fan, and will not talk nonsense.
But this reason is enough to deal with the fans of the two. After all, fans nowadays are relatively easy-going...simple, especially die-hard fans, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will believe this reason.
This statement finally calmed down the emotions of those radical fans, letting Ye Fan and others breathe a sigh of relief.
If something big happens, it will definitely be a big blow to Ye Fan's reputation. Compared with this kind of thing, the two people's massive loss of fans during this period is not that serious.
Besides, the two of them didn't care about losing fans. Zeng Li was a Buddhist, and Ye Fan relied on his works to speak for themselves. As long as there was no extreme behavior, he didn't care about such a trivial matter as losing fans.
But this made Zeng Li see the madness of Ye Fan's fans, and the idea of officially announcing her relationship with Ye Fan was completely extinguished. At least in the past few years, she didn't have to think about it.
Well... this was actually a benefit for Ye Fan, as it saved him a lot of things, and he didn't have to waste time talking to Zeng Li and his family.
However, just in case, under Ye Fan's instruction, [Chaoyang Company] announced on November 19th that their new movie, "Sassy Girlfriend" will be released on December 24th!
Ye Fan's film and television soundtrack album will also be released in February or March next year.
The sales of "Light Chaser" exceeded 10 million, its achievements in Europe and the United States, and the news that Warner will hold a celebration party for Ye Fan on the 20th.
These big news are undoubtedly a big earthquake for the Chinese music scene!
The sales volume of "Light Chaser" exceeded 10 million in just over three months. This speed and achievement were enough to shock industry insiders, reporters and media!
For singers who plan to release an album in February or March next year, the news that Ye Fan will release a new album makes them even more uncomfortable!
The new album was only released in August, and it will be released again half a year later? This made them wail again!
And the singers who have listened to "She Said" all feel how good this song is.
Needless to say, the quality of Ye Fan's new album next year will definitely not be overstated. How can we argue over it?
But what shocked them even more was that Ye Fan actually became famous in Europe and the United States.
Although "Light Years Away (UK)" only ranked 88th on the US Billboard singles chart, its sales were only 200,000+.
But "Light Chaser" is a Chinese album with only one English song. How can it still achieve such results in the European and American music circles?
What does this mean? It means that Ye Fan has already stepped into the European and American music scene and started to move towards the international stage!
Moreover, the news is so tightly hidden, and it is released together with news that has sold over 10 million yuan. Isn’t this just a shock to people? Can we still have fun together in the Chinese music scene?
However, if Ye Fan wants to enter Europe and the United States, it is not a bad thing for many singers. If Ye Fan goes abroad, won't the domestic market be freed up?
But it is a pity that Ye Fan will not give them this opportunity. He will let these people know when the time comes, what does it mean to be your father or your father!
