If this situation happened in the previous space-time, it was estimated that no one would say anything. At most, some fans would spit on the forum.
But in this world, there was a group of real music critics.
They were all musicians with high status in the music industry. They never had scruples about things outside of music. They always said what they wanted to say.
Not to mention Xia Chengfeng, even Ye Yongren's album was once criticized by them. Therefore, their status in the hearts of fans was very high.
The first to speak was Xiao Yunhai's old friend, Chen Huan. He was not only a singer, but also a famous music critic.
"Yesterday, I bought Xiao Yunhai and Xia Chengfeng's albums. The two of them added up to 20 songs. I listened to them from beginning to end. To be honest, with the quality of Xia Chengfeng's album, if it was last year, it should be very good. It should not be below the Queen Yao Na. Unfortunately, Xiao Yunhai has appeared now. "
"The Internet said that Yun Huang's products must be the best. Xiao Yunhai's' Fairy Tale 'perfectly explained this point. The quality of these songs is beyond my expectations. I can say without hesitation that each of the ten songs is a classic. "
"You can go to the music store and listen to it first. See if I'm not wrong."
As soon as Chen Huan's music review came out, other music critics also expressed their opinions one after another.
Yanjing Music Academy's Chen Lefu said, "Today, I listened to Xiao Yunhai's' Fairy Tale 'album, which made me very emotional. Adjectives like genius and monster are no longer enough to describe his talent. Sad love songs, inspirational rock songs, Hua Xia style that he created, and other kinds of songs, he can easily grasp them all. Ten songs, each of them is a classic. This is simply a miracle. I hope Xiao Yunhai can keep his arrogance and impatience and continue to provide better songs for everyone. "
There were many people like Chen Huan and Chen Lefu. Most of them directly said that Xiao Yunhai's album was better than Xia Chengfeng's.
With their recommendation, many fans who didn't know how to choose went to buy Xiao Yunhai's album. After buying it and listening to it, he realized that music critics were indeed music critics. What they said was right. Xiao Yunhai's songs were indeed ridiculously good.
Su Yingxue looked at the comments on the internet and happily said to Xiao Yunhai, "As expected of Teacher Chen, he's really your friend. I have nothing to say about him."
Xiao Yunhai said helplessly, "Sister Xue, what kind of person is Mr. Chen? Would she say that my album is good just because we are close? What a joke. Sister Na's relationship with him is closer. That album two years ago, Teacher Chen didn't give any face at all and severely criticized it. "
"Yes, yes, yes, I know that the quality of your album has moved Teacher Chen. He really didn't have a sense of humor. No matter what, with the help of these top music critics, our sales today will definitely exceed Xia Chengfeng's. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and nodded in agreement with Su Yingxue's point of view.
Thinking back about the difficult process of making this album, Xiao Yunhai sighed.
Internal constraints and external attacks. As long as there was a problem in any part of the process, he was afraid that this album would die in the womb.
Fortunately, he got through it. Now it was finally time for him to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Late at night on January 14th, Xia Chengfeng sat together with Zheng Quanyou again with a tired face.
He had been busy the whole day. He had gone to more than a dozen large music stores and sang dozens of songs. He was really tired.
He had read the comments posted by Chen Huan and other music critics and was very angry about it. But there was no way. He didn't dare to publicly accuse these people of talking nonsense. If he really did that, even if he was the crown prince of Hongda, what awaited him was only to quit the music industry.
Soon, he got his album sales chart. Seeing that today's result was 860,000, he finally let out a long sigh and handed it to Zheng Quanyou.
Zheng Quanyou looked at it seriously and smiled at Xia Chengfeng. "Very good. Our album didn't drop much. We've basically achieved our strategic goal. Let's wait a little longer and see what's the situation on the other side. "
After just five minutes, the news came.
"How much did you say?" Zheng Quanyou roared into the phone in disbelief.
The other side said it again. Zheng Quanyou's lips trembled and he sat down on the sofa, looking lost.
Xia Chengfeng felt that things were not going well. He swallowed hard and asked Zheng Quanyou, "Uncle Zheng, how much did the other side get?"
Zheng Quanyou looked worse than crying. He sighed and said, "Chengfeng, we lost. The other side got 1.03 million."
Xia Chengfeng immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. His lips were completely drained of blood, and his eyes lost focus and vigor. His body seemed to have been completely drained of energy, and he collapsed onto the chair.
"It's over, it's over!" Xia Chengfeng's head roared and only these two words were left.
Xiao Yunhai's calm and steady appearance appeared in Zheng Quanyou's mind. He thought, "The outcome has been decided. Xiao Yunhai, you won. "
When Tianhua Entertainment Company announced Xiao Yunhai's 1.03 million album sales, who knows how many people's eyes were shattered to the ground! Major media outlets reported it one after another and exaggerated it to the extreme.
Correspondingly, Xia Chengfeng's "Dark Night", which had invested countless publicity costs and used a lot of human resources, instantly became synonymous with failure. If it weren't for the need to use it to set off Xiao Yunhai's success, they probably wouldn't even mention "Dark Night".
"It exploded! It exploded! Yun Huang went out, the gods retreated. Xiao Yunhai's 1.03 million albums sold in a single day broke the highest sales record in three years. "
"On January 14, 1999, Xiao Yunhai's" Fairy Tale "beat Xia Chengfeng's" Dark Night "with 1.03 million sales, creating a miracle. Daily sales of more than one million made Xiao Yunhai a music big shot in an instant. His status and influence will certainly be greatly improved. "
"1.03 million album sales, who can tell me, is this a newcomer or a Heavenly King?"
… … …
Countless magazines, newspapers, and TV stations were singing the praises of Xiao Yunhai crazily. It couldn't be helped. The fans liked to read, so they naturally had to write about it.
In such a big environment, on the third day, Xia Chengfeng's album sales fell again, from 860,000 to 630,000, a drop of 230,000.
And Xiao Yunhai's new album went against the trend again, rising from 1.03 million to 1.12 million, a gap of 490,000 copies from Xia Chengfeng.
On the fourth day, both of their albums dropped significantly. Xiao Yunhai got 870,000 copies, while Xia Chengfeng's "Dark Night" only got 380,000 copies.
On the fifth day, Xiao Yunhai got 670,000 copies, Xia Chengfeng got 260,000 copies.
On the sixth day, Xiao Yunhai got 720,000 copies, Xia Chengfeng got 220,000 copies.
On the seventh day, Xiao Yunhai got 640,000 copies, Xia Chengfeng got 230,000 copies.
For a whole week, there was a sharp contrast between the sales of the two. Xiao Yunhai completely beat Xia Chengfeng.
Including the pre-sales, Xia Chengfeng's total sales were more than 6.4 million copies, while Xiao Yunhai's were 8.83 million copies. The difference between the two's total sales was 2.4 million copies, and the gap was constantly increasing.
Many musicians lamented that Xia Chengfeng was too pitiful. With the quality of his album, it could be the sales champion in any period.
But he chose to compete with Xiao Yunhai.
It was difficult to provoke two tigers on one mountain. The music market was only so big. Xiao Yunhai's success would inevitably bring about Xia Chengfeng's failure.
Xia Chengfeng's prediction of 10 million copies at the press conference had completely become a joke. And Xiao Yunhai's previous words of being crowned king had become reality.
Even Ye Yongren said in an interview, "I knew that Xiao Yunhai's album would definitely sell well, but to be able to sell to this extent, I didn't expect. Anyway, I'll definitely avoid him when I release an album in the future. It's simply too exaggerated. "
Those major music-related forums were all discussing Xiao Yunhai's album. And these discussions were almost all positive.
"I have to say, Yun Huang and Xiao Yunhai have succeeded. As a singer who came out of online music, Xiao Yunhai's talent was unanimously recognized by the industry. The online music he created was easy to understand and spread, and was liked by countless fans. And his recent new album, "Fairy Tale," only took a week to sell more than 8 million copies. He was crowned king in one battle! Such a terrifying result is simply a miracle in today's pop music world. Now, his album is still selling well. I don't know if Xiao Yunhai can be crowned god in one battle. Let's wait and see. "
"A new singer, with his amazing talent, created an album that sold more than 8.5 million copies in a week. If such a thing happened in the past, everyone would treat it as a fantasy. But now it has appeared in front of us without any warning. Its initiator is Yun Huang and Xiao Yunhai. Ten songs, and all of them were classics. This kind of creative ability really made people feel a little incredulous. We don't know where his end is. We don't know where he can go in the future. The only thing we can be sure of is that Xiao Yunhai is already a great songwriter in the Chinese music world. We hope that he can avoid arrogance and create better songs. "
