Monday, 10 January 1994.

Ye Zi and Cui Zhengguang came to Xiangjiang again to prepare for the upcoming three major awards ceremonies in Xiangjiang, the first of which is still the 1993 Top Music Pop Chart Awards Ceremony to be held on January 16, that is, this Sunday. In the next two weeks, the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" and "Top Ten Golden Songs" awards will be held sequentially, and Ye Zi and Cui Zhengguang both received official invitations from the organizers early.

This year, Ye Zi has received a number of nominations for the three major awards in Hong Kong, including all the male singer awards in the three major awards. Among the top ten golden song candidates for the three awards, Ye Zi has three songs selected at the same time, a number that only the four kings can compare with among male singers. Chen Yichen has only one candidate song, which is far inferior to Ye Zi's three in terms of the number of selected songs, but this "Unparalleled in the World" personally supervised by Ye Zi is menacing, and it has won countless praises from the media and fans in the past 93 years, and it is also a fierce rival that should not be underestimated.

The direct competition between Ye Zi and Chen Yichen is still unknown. The Xiangjiang media generally believe that Ye Zi's winning chance is slightly bigger, but Chen Yichen is not powerless, and the most between the two is only four or six, which is still because Ye Zi has three songs listed as candidates at once. Judging from the degree of development and influence of the two in the Xiangjiang music scene, they should be equal and open.

In the past year, in addition to the old emperor superstars such as President Tan, Sister Mei, and Brother Xue You, Ye Zi, Chen Yichen and the female singer Wang Jingwen, who has shown the style of superstars, have attracted the most attention in the Xiangjiang music scene, and they have been called the latest "three poles" in the Xiangjiang music scene in recent years by the Xiangjiang media. At present, among the three, Wang Jingwen is still the best development, this female singer from Yanjing uses her unique singing voice and song processing, stands out among the female singers in the Xiangjiang music scene, and is wildly sought after by fans.

Ye Zi and Chen Yichen followed.

Compared with Wang Jingwen, the two of them are not at an absolute disadvantage, but they are only slightly inferior. After all, Wang Jingwen's debut time is earlier than Ye Zi and Chen Yichen, and it is normal to be a little ahead at present, but after the upcoming three major awards, it is difficult to say whether Wang Jingwen can maintain such a leading edge as he is now.

Anything, it's possible.

……

In 1993, Chen Yichen's development trend and upward momentum were quite rapid, and excellent results were achieved. On March 28, his second album "Unparalleled in the World" was officially put on sale, and the sales of all Xiangjiang exceeded 15,000 CDs on the first day, and the platinum record was broken in 8 days, which broke the record of 9 days of platinum broken by Ye Zi last year. Subsequently, the momentum of the new album was uncontrollable, reaching double platinum figures in three weeks, and quadruple platinum sales in two months. At the end of the three-month sales period, the album's sales have surpassed the five-platinum figure, and it is striding towards six-platinum sales. By the end of the year, the album had surpassed the 12-platinum 600,000 mark in Asia, making it one of the best-selling albums of 1993. However, this data can only rank third in sales for the time being, and above it, there are two other albums with unsuccessful sales.

The Xiangjiang media is crazy, Chen Yichen's status and influence in the Xiangjiang music scene have risen steadily, and the number of official members of the Xiangjiang Fan Club has also crossed the 50,000 mark, and is gradually approaching the number of 100,000 superstars.

The spring breeze is proud.

In early June, Chen Yichen's first Chinese album "This is Me" was officially launched by Taihai Shanghua Records. After getting Ye Zi's authorization, Chen Yichen covered Ye Zi's popular hit song "I'll Wait for the Flowers to Be Thankful". This was originally just a game to show that he and Ye Zi were "good brothers", and Ye Zi only charged him a symbolic licensing fee of 1 yuan of Hong Kong coins, but he didn't expect Chen Yichen's cover to have a good response in the Taiwan Strait market, and its popularity even exceeded the song "A Tear" tailored for him by Shanghua Records.

That's a real twist.

Relying on the popularity and pursuit of this cover song by Taihai fans, this tentative Chinese album actually won the sales of 8 platinum 400,000 copies in the Taiwan Strait market in one fell swoop, Chen Yichen and Huaxing Records, Taihai Shanghua Records were all greatly encouraged, and the second Chinese album was already in full swing in advance preparations.

This kind of achievement made Ye Zi quite pleasant, and chased Chen Yichen to knock him ten big meals in a row, and then let him go.

You must know that until now, 1994 has come, and Ye Zi's album still has no way to enter the Taiwan Strait market - this is a very big loss. Of course, this situation will not continue, and Wenhui has reached a consensus with Shanghua Records in the Taiwan Strait that she will bypass the blockade of mainland singers in the Taiwan Strait through certain "technical means".

This is also one of the benefits of Chen Yichen's cover.

Shang Hua Records saw the possible benefits and huge benefits of Ye Zi's works, although there would be a certain risk in helping Ye Zi bypass the blockade, but ...... How could they give up the word first? For this reason, Shanghua Records is also fully prepared, and it is bound to help Ye Zi enter the Taiwan Strait market in one fell swoop, and they can also get a piece of the pie.

For the sake of this extremely difficult Taiwan Strait market, Tai Wenhui has given up a lot of benefits this time, so they can't help but move forward desperately.

……

Ye Zi's situation was pressed for the time being, and he turned back and continued to talk about Chen Yichen.

On December 18, Chen Yichen's third album "Happiness" was launched on the market. The Cantonese album continued the strong momentum of the previous album "Peerless", and was wildly popular with fans as soon as it came out, also reaching platinum sales in just 8 days. After more than 20 days, the current sales of this album have approached three platinums, and it is very promising to replicate the results of the previous album in two months and four platinums. Ye Zi's "tailor-made" title song "Happiness Ferris Wheel" for Chen Yichen was on the top of the on-demand charts of major radio stations in Hong Kong as soon as it was launched, if it weren't for the fact that the album was released too late, Chen Yichen should have at least two candidate songs that could participate in the 1993 awards competition.

Throughout 1993, Chen Yichen's development trend was quite ideal, completely exceeding the goals set for him by Brother Keny, and his arrogant personality was also slightly restrained, and he did not become the Chen Yichen who was criticized by almost all the singers in the Xiangjiang music scene in Ye Zi's memory in his previous life. The only unfortunate thing in this year is that his two albums, "Unparalleled in the World" and "This Is Me", whether in Cantonese or Chinese, have sold very well in the mainland Chinese market. Both albums sold at the million-box standard, failing to surpass the first album's excellent result of 1.37 million boxes.

However, whether it is Brother Keny or Chen Yichen, including the senior management of Huaxing Records, they don't mind this. In their opinion, they can thank God for encountering such a "demon" as Ye Zi's second album, and these two albums can still maintain the level of millions of box sales.

Ye Zi's second album is "Demon"?

That's right.

Whether it is the Xiangjiang market or the mainland Chinese market, this album with extremely obvious stylistic characteristics, extremely excellent production, and rapid sales has been dubbed "demonic" by the media and critics.

In the mainland Chinese market, reporters and critics are more willing to call this album a "miracle" in the media, and fans are also proud to comment in this way. But privately, they very much agree that the evaluation of Xiangjiang peers is more precise and accurate.

Ye Zi's second album is an out-and-out "demonic" album. (To be continued.) )
