In the newspaper the next day, an entertainment news caused a sensation in Xiangjiang.

The sales of the first solo singing album of the first solo singer Chen Yichen exceeded 10,000 on the first day of release, and the specific number was 11,759 copies, which broke the first-day sales of the first album of the rookie male singer that had been maintained by Brother Xue Youge for seven years. Although generally speaking, the sales of new albums of new artists on the first day of release are often the highest day in the entire sales period, and sales will plummet from the second day, but it is still extremely difficult and rare to sell more than 10,000 albums.

This data has basically determined the possibility of this album breaking the platinum, Chen Yichen's fans are surging, and for a while, the on-demand programs of major radio stations in Xiangjiang are all filled with every song in Chen Yichen's album.

On 903 Radio, as one of the newcomer singers praised by 903, Chen Yichen's on-demand performance rose rapidly with the help of fans and the stimulation of the sales of the new album. At least in the past two weeks and even throughout July, there are few people and few songs that can threaten the status of Chen Yichen's Cantonese version unless there are special unforeseen circumstances.

With the excellent results of the new album, Chen Yichen became popular!

The most intuitive feeling is that now walking in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, almost every store is playing Chen Yichen's latest album, especially the Cantonese version of the song is almost sung to the point of being heard in the streets. Music critics unanimously agreed that the Cantonese version of the song will make a big difference at the awards ceremony at the end of this year.

As Ye Zi's betting opponent, Remy. Kim took the opportunity to publish an opinion piece in the entertainment section of The Newspaper.

In addition to congratulating Chen Yichen on the big sale of his new album at the beginning of this article, and wishing Chen Yichen another success at the year-end awards ceremony, most of the rest of the article is about Ye Zi's new album.

Remy. Of course, Jin won't say anything good, he made a detailed analysis of Ye Zi's album from four aspects: language, production, singing, and overall. He believes that the language barrier is a barrier that Ye Zi will never be able to break through, and in the Xiangjiang market, where Cantonese songs occupy an absolute advantage, Ye Zi's Chinese album will definitely suffer a major blow.

It's a cliché, but Remy. Jin cited Chinese albums that have achieved good results in the Xiangjiang market in the past decade to compare with Ye Zi, and finally came to a conclusion that no new singer can establish himself in Xiangjiang with Chinese albums. All the Chinese albums that have achieved good results in the Xiangjiang market in the past ten years are all from Chinese singers who have been famous for a long time.

Such examples of facts make his argument very convincing.

When it comes to producing and singing, Remy. Jin was very smart and did not discredit Ye Zi, but praised his album production and singing level, and even praised Ye Zi's album even higher than Chen Yichen's new album that had just achieved excellent results.

Of course, this is a killing!

Ye Zi's singing strength was verified for the first time in Xiangjiang. If Jin picks on this aspect, he will face the opposition of many famous people in the Xiangjiang music scene, such as Sir Cai Qingde, such as Sister Mei, and even Brother Xue and Mr. Ou Dingyu may jump out against his views. In terms of album production, Ye Zi's talent has also been highly praised by many industry insiders. Kim also can't be directly denigrated.

So he did the opposite, infinitely elevating Ye Zi's ability in singing and album production, and deliberately compared Chen Yichen's new album. His approach will first anger Chen Yichen's fans, and at the same time, he will use people's rebellious psychology to make the majority of Xiangjiang citizens feel very untrustworthy, and Sir Cai Qingde and others and people in the music industry will not raise any objections to his views. Everyone is chasing Ye Zi, what else do you want?

Remy. That's what Kim wants.

When it comes to the overall structure of the album, Remy. Jin used all his talents to criticize Ye Zi's carefully constructed album structure as worthless.

In the article, he said, how can a song with a jazz feeling ("Jiangnan Road") be put together with a song with Chinese national characteristics ("The Sound of the Waves Remains")? The arrangement of Unplugged and the arrangement of the pure electroacoustic band are put together, how awkward it sounds! How to reconcile the vernacular of "Jiangnan Road" with the quaint artistic conception of "The Sound of the Waves"? And so on and so forth. Remy. Kim criticized almost all the songs on the album and the combination of these songs, the only thing he didn't mention was the Chinese version of "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You."

This approach is also very clever, the Cantonese version is currently gaining ground in the Xiangjiang market, and his criticism of the Chinese version will first be opposed by fans. Fans are extremely in love with the house and Wu, otherwise Ye Zi's Chinese version would not have taken advantage of the popularity of the Cantonese version, and also entered the top four of the 903 on-demand list, and is already close to the top three, the gap is extremely small, and it is likely to be surpassed in a short time.

Take a song that has already been recognized by fans and pull it out for criticism, Remy. Kim would never do such a stupid thing, he was smart.

After careful analysis before, Ye Zi's album was named "extremely regrettable" by him. Remy. Jin made his own summary, he thinks that Ye Zi is an extremely good and qualified music producer, but as a singer with excellent singing talent, it is "extremely regrettable" that he did not find his own position, and this album will also be "extremely regrettable" to become an excellent singing and production film, but the overall concept is a mess of "semi-finished products" that cannot withstand scrutiny.

Throughout the article, Remy. Jin did not specifically predict the sales of Ye Zi's new album, but only hinted at words such as "not optimistic", "lack of confidence", "impossible to estimate", and "no precedent", which is also a very clever trick.

At the end of the article, Remy. Jin swore that he and Ye Zi's bet had been won. As a senior, he is very willing to open up the net, and he doesn't need Ye Zi to really leave the Xiangjiang music scene, but hopes that he can stay in the Xiangjiang music scene to give full play to his talents in song creation and production, and be a qualified behind-the-scenes musician.

Remy. Kim's article was "well-founded" and was endorsed by many music critics as soon as it was published. In the days that followed, other music critics expressed their views in support of Remy. Kim's comments and judgments on Ye Zi's new album. After some tossing and turning, the Xiangjiang music critics generally reached a consensus, that is, it is very difficult for Ye Zi's new album to break through the 10,000-share sales mark in the two-month hot sales period, and it is almost impossible to reach the 25,000-share gold record target.

Remy. This is the general trend of gold needs.

The Hong Kong music critics certainly can't be judged by Remy. Kim was in control, and in the following days, there were also music critics who published articles in support of Ye Zi, but compared to those who supported Remy. Jin's voice, Professor Lei Ming, Sima Minghui and others were obviously much weaker.

On Thursday, June 25, there are only three days left before the release of Ye Zi's new album.

The debate over Ye Zi's new album in the major media in Hong Kong is still in full swing, and it is at this time that the Heung Kong Observatory has issued the No. 8 Typhoon Signal Warning on radio and television, and the second typhoon of this year is about to strike. According to the monitoring of the Xiangjiang Observatory, the second typhoon of this year is hitting the Xiangjiang River in a northwest direction at a speed of 63 kilometers per hour, and is expected to reach the coastal sea surface of the Xiangjiang River from the night of the 27th to the day of the 28th. The Observatory appeals to the public to take precautions against wind, stop all water activities, and minimise travel to avoid major losses, etc.

As soon as this news came out, all the music critics who supported Ye Zi were dumbfounded. No matter how optimistic Ye Zi is, he also shook his head and was speechless in front of such news.

The power of heaven and earth, how can human beings be able to contend with it?

Ye Zi, it's really unlucky! (To be continued.) )
