As happy as he was after drinking yesterday, he felt so miserable in class today. Ye Fan had a funny look on his face when he saw the expressions of Liu Huahua, Hu Jing and others who were still hungover.

Especially when I heard the head teacher Chang Li informing everyone that homework was due to be reported in less than two months, everyone except Ye Fan felt as if they were mourning.

Ye Fan didn't tell Zeng Li that he had prepared the skit, so that she wouldn't worry about it. And now that he had it out, it would be a question of who could help him, so he might as well tell it at the end.

By December, Ye Fan also began to pay a little attention to the situation in the outside world.

The sales volume of "Youth", with the support of a large number of book fans during the time when his identity was exposed, soon exceeded 1 million, and is still rising. The sales volume of "Stubborn", when statistics were compiled in early December

, actually sold more than 500,000 copies.

But Ye Fan had a lot of news during that period, so he didn't let Jingwen announce the news. He only waited for the full year's sales to be calculated and announced next year, which could warm up his appearance on the Spring Festival Gala. Xu Zhongmin also agreed.

In addition, December 1996 was a month full of smoke in the music world. Many future famous singers released albums this month and began their rise.

With the release of the album "Red" by Brother Zhang on November 26, it seemed like the first shot of the year-end war in the music world was fired.

On November 28, Hong Kong's Prince Cheng released his album "Don't Love Me";

On December 1st, Andy released a new album "Because of Love". In 1996, Andy released three albums. Ye Fan admired him very much. He is indeed a master at work!

In addition, Li Ming released a new album "Induction", and Zhang Qingfang released a new album "Pure";

On the 4th, Qi Qin and Xiaogang released new albums "Silk Road" and "My Heart is Too Confused" respectively;

On the 5th, Lin Zhiying released the album "Expectation", and Fan Xiaoxuan released "I Want to Fall in Love"

Of course, there were many other singers who released new albums, but they were not as famous as these people, so Ye Fan didn't bother to care.

Moreover, Ye Fan is not afraid of the songs of the above people. The possibility of threatening songs such as "Stubborn" is very small. The real enemy is behind.

By the 13th, the rankings of songs such as "Stubborn" had greatly improved on the mainland's on-demand charts.

Thanks to the explosion of fans of Ye Fan some time ago, "Stubborn" has been ranked second, pushing "The One Who Loves Me Most Hurts Me the Deepest" to fourth, while Princess's "Impetuous" remains unchanged at third.

"Your Answer" and "Snail" each moved up one place, ranking fifth and sixth respectively.

As for Wanwan's Golden Songs Chart, the calculation method is that sales and postcard votes account for half each, which is different from the on-demand chart, so "Stubborn" climbs faster.

In the third week of winter, "Stubborn" entered the list, ranking ninth.

When Ye Fan's identity was exposed, book fans in Wanwan were very enthusiastic. They bought many of Ye Fan's albums and sent many postcards.

In the fifth week, "Stubborn" rose to fifth place. In the sixth week, it directly topped the rankings. It has dominated the rankings for 5 weeks now.

And just today, the enemy of "Stubborn" appeared, and Zhang Huimei's "Sisters" was released.

This album is her first debut album. Zhang Yusheng serves as the producer, and he personally wrote the lyrics and music for "Sisters" and "Aqua Blue Tears" in this album.

Therefore, the quality of "Sisters" cannot be overemphasized. This song is a classic pop song with a very indigenous symbol in the history of Wanwan music.

In just one week after its release, it sold 300,000 copies in Wanwan. This caused the sales of "Stubborn" to decline rapidly in Wanwan. Of course, other singers' albums also suffered, and they were all affected, and this big

The trend of selling has also gradually spread to the mainland.

However, by the time "Sisters" reached the mainland, piracy had already begun to spread. In addition, the mainland did not make these statistics, so it was difficult to estimate the sales volume. The sales volume could only be announced with the words "Asia-wide".

Fortunately, the mainland is Ye Fan's home ground, and the market is so big, and the styles of Ye Fan and her albums are also different. "Sisters" has little impact on the sales of "Stubborn".

But it is estimated that "Stubborn" will fall down in the Wanwan rankings in a few weeks. However, Ye Fan is very satisfied with being able to dominate the rankings for so many weeks. Anyway, Zhang Huimei's biggest enemy will not be him by then.

Once Xiaoqi's album comes out, it will be interesting to see the civil war in the Bay Area music scene.

The appearance of Zhang Huimei and "Sisters" has made the Wanwan music scene feel proud and elated. It also made the media in Wanwan feel energetic again. Although they don't dare to connotate Ye Fan yet, they should wait until Xiao Qi becomes famous.

I feel confident.

Although the sales of "Stubborn" in Wanwan have declined, seeing that the sales in the mainland are relatively stable, he feels relieved and can go to school and write novels with peace of mind.

During this period of time, Ye Fan didn't want to wait for Zeng Li's relatives to leave and live with her, living together.

It's a pity that Zeng Li didn't wait for this opportunity. Zeng Li seemed to have sensed Ye Fan's thoughts. No matter how Ye Fan deceived him, Zeng Li was unwilling to live in Siping Garden with Ye Fan except for his shy face.

There was no other way, so Ye Fan had no choice but to give it up and try again later.

On December 24th, Xiao Qi's "Heart Is Too Soft" was finally released.

This album was produced by the producer Xiaochong himself in the United States. All the production processes were completed in Los Angeles. Well-known musicians, arrangers, recording engineers and other professionals in the American music industry were invited to jointly produce this album. With the international

The music quality is excellent, the songs are as strong as the forest, and the songs are all excellent.

Producer Xiaochong independently completed five works in this album, one arrangement and one lyrics, which also determined the general direction of this album.

But it's a pity that after the album was released, the response in Wanwan was very miserable.

Yes, you read that right, "Heart Is Too Soft" received very poor results when it was released in Wanwan.

When Xiao Qi saw this result, he felt very depressed because at the end of the year, his contract with Rolling Stone Records was about to expire.

Xiao Qi's first album "Reliance" sold 200,000 copies in Wanwan. This result is very good for newcomer Xiao Qi.

But for the well-known singers in the Rolling Stones, this is really nothing. In the Bay Area music scene in the 1990s, 200,000 album sales were actually a very ordinary number.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Chong was also very depressed. He didn't believe that the album he carefully created had only this result, so Xiao Chong said to Xiao Qi: "Don't be discouraged. The album has just been released. We will wait and see what happens next."

situation, and I’m also trying to think of a solution.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi nodded in despair and said, "Let's take a look. If it doesn't work, the company won't renew my contract after the contract expires, so I will apply for a sports reporter."

Xiaochong felt uncomfortable seeing Xiao Qi like this. Suddenly he thought of Ye Fan, who was also a newcomer. His album was a hit as soon as it was released, but if Xiao Qi's album was released in the mainland, it would not appear even at the beginning.

This might be the case, so he looked up to the north...

Ye Fan knew that "Heart Is Too Soft" only became popular after it became popular in the Mainland. However, Xiao Qi had a contract with the Rolling Stones and was not very famous before. He couldn't find a chance to start, even if he wanted to cut off Hu.

There is no way.

After all, he himself has no sales channels now, and the majority of his income comes from the Rolling Stones and Xiaochong, who owns the song copyright. He can't afford to speak out to benefit others, and the risk of exposing himself is not worth it.

Since today is Christmas Eve, Ye Fan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to bring Zeng Li back to Siping Garden for the sake of celebrating the festival.

It's not that Ye Fan thought about this foreign festival. After the opening up of the country, the commodity economy was in a period of vigorous development, and people's economic income increased, and consumption concepts slowly began to change. This novel and joyful festival from abroad came to

Naturally it became popular.

In 1991, the first domestic "festival-making" movement was formed in Shenzhen City, and then affected Yangcheng, Shanghai, and Yanjing. At the same time, driven by merchants, Christmas also brought popularity to Western Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving Day.

,Halloween.

Therefore, celebrating Christmas once became a popular fashion on campus in the early 1990s. Of course, there are also some people who have the mentality of "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners".

Of course, Ye Fan is not a fan of foreign things. Like most Chinese people, he is a pragmatist. If it is useful to him, he will use it, and if it is not useful, he will leave it to cool off.

Fortunately, Zeng Li was also curious about these festivals and agreed to Ye Fan to go out to dinner with him in the evening.
