When Ye Cheng's first album "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart" came out, it was like a stone thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples in the dead Chinese music scene. Although his debut was short, it had reached a height that most singers could not reach in their entire lives. He was hailed as a pioneer singer in the Chinese music scene.
With the development of Dreams of course, although Ye Cheng is still the number one in the company, he is no longer the only one. The company's resources cannot be devoted to him. Compared with "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart", Dreams of course does not invest much in the promotion of the new record "Love in the Aegean Sea", but it cannot withstand the spontaneous publicity and reporting of various media.
Sometimes it is like this. If you are a little star, you may not necessarily report to you if you give money to others. But when you become famous, the media will rush to report news about you for their own sales and clicks.
The second day after the release of "Love in the Aegean Sea", entertainment headlines were the news of the divorce of film superstar Zhang Xingliang, followed by Ye Cheng's new album. Almost everyone in major music companies owned an electronic record of "Love in the Aegean Sea", with the purpose of analyzing and studying Ye Cheng's new songs.
The comments given by people in the circle only have three words to say about this album: commercialization.
Yes, compared with the experimental nature of "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart", "Love Aegean Sea" is indeed more commercial.
There are twelve songs in the album: "Wukong", "Love All Dead", "Love Not a Must Be", "Sailor", "Man Ocean", "Running", "Rainbow", "Love is Simple", "Life Like Summer Flower", "Bird Forest", "Thousand Miles Away", and "William Castle". Half of them are commercial pop songs, and only in terms of audience breadth, they are definitely wider than the previous album.
From niche to popular, from personality to popularity, this is the only way for singers to evolve into singers.
The benefits of doing this are obvious, and the number of fans will increase significantly. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Some old fans cannot accept it, thinking that their idol has changed and is not the singer with distinctive characteristics at the time.
When Ye Cheng's new album came out, a few fans were indeed disappointed and believed that none of the new songs could achieve the quality of "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Dongfeng Po".
"The leaves are falling. Nearly half of the songs in the new album are love songs. There is only one Chinese song "Thousand Miles Away". Moreover, the overall quality of the song is obviously not as good as the previous one. Is this a sign of Jiang Lang's talent? I feel very unhappy." Some netizens posted a complaint in the post bar.
Ye Cheng's die-hard fans came out to retort: ​​"Isn't this nonsense? The album is called "The Aegean Sea", and of course it will focus on love songs. But if you say that the quality of the song is declining, I absolutely do not agree. I won't talk about the boom of "Wukong", a few love songs are equally powerful, you can tell if you compare them with other songs this year. There are also the beautiful poetry of "Birth as Summer Flower", the weird and treacherous of "William Castle", the romantic nostalgia of "Birch Forest". The inspirational reflection of "Sailor", you have eaten so many good songs?"
"Yes, yes, I like the song "Life as Summer Flower", which reminds me of Tagore's poem: Make life as gorgeous as summer flowers, and die as quiet as autumn leaves."
"I think "William Castle" is even more arrogant. Listening to the prelude music is like bringing people back to a medieval castle."
"Thousands of Miles Away", how could you forget this song? This is definitely the best Chinese style this year."
“…”
The sales of "Love in the Aegean Sea" reached 60,000 copies in one week. According to this trend, the sales of the new album is likely to exceed 100,000, becoming the record sales champion this year.
Various music reviews have begun to appear on the Internet, some of which have evaluated the entire record, and some of which only evaluated their favorite songs. Basically, they are all acclaim and trolls rarely write music reviews to scold them.
Ye Cheng's first album "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart". There were 31,582 reviews on Bandou.com, with a comprehensive score of 9.4. This is a super high score, tied for the championship with another English album. The score of "Love in the Aegean Sea" is much lower, and there were 9.2 points at the beginning. As more and more netizens commented, the score was lowered to 8.1, and many of them deliberately gave a one-star score to make trouble.
These guys who harm others and are not good for themselves are very boring. If you accumulate enough energy to get low scores on Bandou.com, you can only disgust Ye Cheng's fans. If you can't hurt Ye Cheng's own half of his hair, it's just a waste of time.
In order to promote the new album, Ye Cheng did nothing and went to Mango TV's variety show, and then accepted an exclusive interview with OO Entertainment.
The title of the interview article of oo Entertainment is: "The Road to Explore the Music of Ye Cheng in Combining Personality and Business"
"The long-awaited "Love Sea" of Love, which has made Ye Zi fans look forward to, finally came out in the last month of 2015. The style of this album is more varied, including rock, love songs, hip-hop, Chinese style, and Russian style. Ye Cheng incorporated his attempts and understanding of music into it, bringing great surprises to the Chinese music scene.
The famous music critic Wang Xiaolei said that Ye Cheng in "Love in the Aegean Sea" is more mature, and the commercial popular elements are used freely. There are also many songs with strong personalities such as "Wukong", "William Castle", and "Life Like Summer Flowers", which can be regarded as a model of the perfect fusion of business and personality..."
"Pioneer Music Review" praised: "Ye Cheng's humanistic feelings are still the same. "Birth is like summer flowers" presents a kind of almost desperate and beautiful touch. This is the song of remembrance of the beautiful years that are about to pass away. It uses a crazy state like asceticism to express one's deep understanding of life. The whole song is not only full of explosive power, but also has a very amazing control. It presents the despair and beauty of life to the world... "William Castle" is just the opposite. Ye Cheng is playing and treats music and life with a game attitude. It is worth mentioning that the arrangement of "William Castle". This song may be the most inconspicuous in the entire album, but its arrangement can be ranked among the top three of the entire album. In my personal opinion, "William Castle" is the biggest surprise brought by this album..."
Fame and status are accumulated bit by bit. "Chasing Dreams and Childhood Heart" has made Ye Cheng the newcomer in the Chinese music scene, and "Love in the Aegean Sea" has consolidated Ye Cheng's status as a top singer.
Not to mention anything else, once these two albums were taken out, no one dared to question Ye Cheng's strength and popularity, whether it was the quality of the songs, the sales volume of the album, or the number of clicks and plays on the Internet.
The year is coming soon, and various event invitations are here as promised. Ye Cheng's appearance fee has now increased to 700,000, which is 100,000 more than his mentor Chen Qing. Judging from the event rewards, Ye Cheng is equivalent to a middle- and upper-level artist in the front line.
Relatively speaking, Ye Cheng's advertising endorsement is relatively low. Now he has received only 5 million in the highest game endorsement, which is the lowest threshold for first-line artists.
Of course, even if the endorsement fee of 5 million yuan can envy countless new and old artists. Some celebrities have been busy for half their lives and have only reached 1 million yuan for advertising endorsements. Ye Cheng has only made 5 million yuan for one year of debut, and people cannot compare with others!
Just as the outside world praised Ye Cheng’s new album, several photos and videos on the Internet threw him to the forefront.
The incident where diara collectively bowed and apologized to Ye Cheng was exposed!
I don’t know who it was circulated from, maybe it was the party guests, maybe the waiter in the restaurant, anyway, the photos and videos were suddenly posted on the Internet.
Diara's fans ran to Ye Chengwei and cursed on the blog, then turned to the post bar and forum. Some brainless fans gave Ye Cheng an ultimatum, asking him to publicly apologize to Diara immediately, otherwise they would give Ye Cheng a good look.
Fortunately, I just bowed and apologized. If the photos of my kneeling apologizing were exposed, these people would not be the same as my dead mother.
Faced with the squirting from Diara fans, Ye Cheng’s reply on Weibo was inexplicably evident, and he only said one sentence: “I’m learning Korean recently.”
Ye Cheng’s fans are both angry and funny. They are naturally angry because of the fans biting people, and the fans of the funny thing is Ye Cheng’s calm attitude. The crazy fans are scolding them at the door of their house. You are still learning Korean. After learning it, will you quarrel with the fans of the fans in Korean?
Faced with the crazy squirting of the crazy fans of the Bangzi, Ye Cheng's fans, who have been through the battlefield for a long time, are even in the mood to joke and mock their opponents. Ye Chengwei.com's troll message is a string of teasing replies below:
“There is a stick here and the dog barking.”
“How big is the stick dog?”
"One meter apart."
"One meter? I saw a dog four meter."
"Where is a dog four meters?"
"I saw two, two in total, four meters."
"Don't bully people just because there is a dog!"
"Bit you, wool!"
ps: Let’s make up for the first update, and also recommend Frog’s new book “Legendary Giant Director”. Frog’s book quality is guaranteed, but it is really, at least stronger than his character.
