Chapter 397 A or B

On the day Phoenix Legend's three new songs were released, "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" and "Above the Moon" rushed into the top ten of the new song chart.

Thanks to the efforts of his fans, Zhang Yifan finally climbed to eighth place on the new song list with "missyou", but fell to tenth place again.

One day later, "Free to Fly" also broke into the top ten, but the shaky "missyou" was still squeezed out.

Then, the ranking of the new song chart became like this:

First: "Chi Ling"!

Second: "Legend"!

Third: "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond"!

Fourth: "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"!

Looking all the way down, the fifth to eighth positions on the new song list are either songs sung by Ye Zhiqiu himself or songs he composed for others.

Many netizens discovered a terrifying situation: Ye Zhiqiu almost "killed" the new song list!

While many self-media and fans are still bragging about Zhang Yifan breaking into the top 50 on the US B-chart, Ye Zhiqiu is already "killing it" in major domestic music charts.

Is there any record in history that the top eight songs on the new song chart were all written by one person? It seems not...

Many entertainment media realized at this time that compared to the top 50 on the B list, Ye Zhiqiu's performance seems to be even more impressive!

That night, music critic Ding Dasheng posted another long comment on Weibo.

"Perhaps we are here without knowing it, but we are actually witnessing the birth of a historical superstar in the Chinese music world."

"Yes, I'm talking about Ye Zhiqiu. The excellence and significance of the song "Chi Ling" need no elaboration. What surprises me even more is the three new songs of "Legend" by Queen Chen Fei and Phoenix Legend."

"Apart from his outstanding creative ability, Ye Zhiqiu seems to have a 'golden finger'. He always has a magical power and can write works that are extremely suitable for singers other than himself."

"Ten years after their debut, Phoenix Legend has three songs in the top ten of the new song chart for the first time. There is no doubt that this group is popular. I don't know if this group has a feeling, as if Ye Zhiqiu understands themselves better than they do.

..”

Ding Dasheng's eloquent, thousand-word review once again set off a craze on the Internet.

Many netizens said that "Professional Ye Zhiqiu Chui" has started business again. After all, Ye Zhiqiu is so good, but whether the title of "historical superstar" is too big, even so, it is a bit premature to say now.

However, there are many people who feel that what Ding Dasheng said makes sense.

What Ye Zhiqiu lacks now is honor, but this is not his problem, after all, he has risen too fast.

In terms of the quality of his works, many singers who have been in business for twenty years may not be half as good as him.

Ding Dasheng's Weibo was just an introduction, but it really made many people realize that they seemed to have underestimated Ye Zhiqiu's awesomeness before.

Taking a closer look, Ye Zhiqiu's achievements are staggeringly brilliant.

The first solo album "One Leaf Knows Autumn", a diamond record. And the second album "Chinese Style", I don't know when the sales have quietly reached five million copies...

Palace Golden Diamond Records!

Netizens often compare Zhang Yifan and Ye Zhiqiu, who are both similar in age and very popular, but upon closer inspection, it seems that the gap between the two is not even the slightest bit.

For a singer, album sales are the highest honor. The achievement of a diamond or a gold-and-diamond record says it all.

From this aspect, the top figure in the music world is not Zhang Yifan, but Ye Zhiqiu...

This "top flow" is proven by the sales of records on the market!

Like a sudden storm, the praise for Ye Zhiqiu from the Internet was overwhelming.

Zhang Yifan, who was the "first Chinese singer" not long ago, has gone from being a favorite of the media to being left out in the short term.

In an interview, Zhang Yifan became sour when the reporter once again asked questions related to "Ye Zhiqiu".

"I don't think I'm worse than some people. The pop music center of the entire world is in the United States, and the B list is more authoritative and representative than China's new song list."

"I feel that being able to reach the top 50 on the B list is an unprecedented breakthrough for me and all Chinese singers. It is a very rare achievement."

"I will continue to work hard to make more international and popular music."

Although the "certain people" in Zhang Yifan's words were not explicitly stated, everyone knew who they were referring to. As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused huge controversy.

"Let me translate it for you, it means that the B-chart is the best, the Chinese New Song Chart is rubbish, even if you Ye Zhiqiu occupies the top 10 of the new song chart, it can't compare to my performance in the top 50 of the B-chart."

"No, is he serious?"

"Chinese singer: I am represented."

"It's so funny. From his tone, a popular star really thinks of himself as a leader in the Chinese music scene."

“It’s not a list with the same language and cultural environment. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a comparison.”

"The B list is very powerful, but what does it matter to us if it is from a foreign country? We Chinese people only look at our own list."

"The key is, you said that the top ten on the B list can be boasted, but he who is in the top fifty is not that awesome..."

"It's useless to say so much. In the end, the quality of the work speaks for itself. In this aspect, the gap between Zhang Yifan and Ye Zhiqiu is not even the slightest bit."

It must be said that Zhang Yifan's words are extremely unpopular, and many netizens can't stand it.

Not long after, a video of "Foreigners listening to music by Chinese singers" appeared on Benyin, and it quickly received crazy likes.

The video blogger is a Chinese college student studying in the United States, and he happens to be studying music-related majors.

This blogger usually pays attention to the domestic music circle, and was very puzzled when he saw Zhang Yifan's previous video about "foreigners listening to "Miss You"".

Is it so exaggerated?

The music atmosphere around him is quite strong, but none of these foreigners listen to this song.

And in his opinion, the quality of Ye Zhiqiu's works is simply not comparable to Zhang Yifan's.

In this case, it is better to do an experiment and ask the foreign passers-by around you to listen to the two songs "Chi Ling" and "missyou" respectively and make an "aorb" choice.

Originally, the blogger was not sure what the specific result would be, so there was no doubt that he would choose on his own, but after all, the song "missyou" has a language advantage and the audience can understand it.

And "Chi Ling" is not only in Chinese, but also incorporates opera singing. It is estimated that most foreigners will not be able to easily understand the unique beauty of the Chinese quintessence.

However, the result was far beyond his expectation.

The invited foreigners in front of the camera all nodded their heads when they heard "missyou" and said "nice" to save face.

When the singing and stage of "Chi Ling" appeared, these foreigners suddenly widened their eyes and shouted "ohmygod". When they found out that the two actors in the performance were male, they were even more shocked.

In the end, the several groups of foreigners invited by the blogger all chose "Chi Ling" with excitement.
