Chapter 225 224. Three superstars in charge? I restarted the Chinese music scene! (Please subscribe!)
Zhou Qinghua barely slept that night!
He was one of the protagonists at the Miracle Ratings Celebration Party.
Originally, Wang Qian and Ru Ke were the absolute protagonists of the celebration party.
Everyone knows how the show's ratings came about.
It’s not that their program team is well managed.
Nor is it their clever design!
Everything is pretty much the same as it was in the previous nine years.
What has changed are the four mentors and contestants.
What has changed is the amazing talent and strength of the contestants.
Therefore, anyone with eyes knows how the ratings of The Voice of China were boosted this year! It was boosted by the amazing performances and excellent original works of several talented contestants such as Wang Qian, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Ma Rufei, etc.
All other programs of the same period and of the same type were defeated, and several programs of the same type were forced to stop broadcasting.
But!
The protagonist of the celebration party did not come.
Even the two protagonists did not appear in front of the media.
They went home to rest directly...
This left the entire Chinese entertainment industry speechless.
Some people admire it, some people despise it, and some people curse it.
The program director Zhou Qinghua and four big-name mentors naturally became the protagonists of the celebration party.
All the people in the circle, as well as the many capital players involved, are trying their best to get close to the program crew, hoping to increase the possibility of cooperation and get a piece of the pie!
The four mentors have made it clear that they will not renew their contracts next year.
These four mentor positions have become the most popular positions in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
Everyone knows that the next season of The Voice of China will definitely not be able to replicate this year's miraculous ratings, but the residual heat is still there, and next year's ratings will definitely not be low, and the attention will not be low either. Sitting in the position of a mentor will significantly increase one's popularity.
Therefore, Zhou Qinghua became the only protagonist at the celebration party! Various big-name stars and several major entertainment groups all challenged Zhou Qinghua and several leaders of the program group, hoping that they could get one or even several mentor positions, and then try to send the talented newcomers they discovered to the stage!
The Voice of China has now become the biggest and sweetest piece of cake in the Chinese entertainment industry. All the celebrities, artists, and entertainment capital want to have a bite, preferably the biggest one.
Zhou Qinghua dealt with the situation for most of the night before finally coming out of the hotel.
Several major entertainment groups even personally sent their high-value newcomers to Zhou Qinghua. As long as he nodded, they could enjoy them to their heart's content.
Zhou Qinghua had been working diligently for such a long time, and now he decided to relax a bit, so he didn't come out until midnight.
However, he did not make any definite promises and said everything would have to wait until the end of this year's Voice of China finals.
Less than an hour after returning home and resting, Zhou Qinghua woke up, talked with the Voice of China operation team to discuss some things about the program, and then quickly called Wang Qian.
Wang Qian had just gone downstairs and was sitting at the dining table with Qin Xuehong waiting for dinner. He was about to use his mobile phone to open the backstage of Qianqian Jingting when he saw Zhou Qinghua's call and answered it immediately.
Qin Xuehong smiled, got up and went to the kitchen to help.
Wang Qian picked up the phone and walked to the French window in the living room. Looking at the trees in the yard outside the villa, he said softly, "Director Zhou got up so early? You must have had a good time last night."
As a veteran and scumbag in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Wang Qian could imagine with just his fingernails how popular Zhou Qinghua would be at the celebration banquet last night, and there would definitely be a lot of people throwing themselves at him.
Maybe this guy will have a cool night! Zhou Qinghua didn't know that Wang Qian had guessed what happened to him last night. He smiled and said, "It's better to be early. The work is not finished yet. I just received a call from North America. The program team has officially started operating the international finals. Our local competition area program team will now start to cooperate with the promotion and broadcast of international events."
"In the end, you are the one representing our Huaxia Division. I have always been optimistic about you. How does it feel to be the champion?"
Wang Qian: "That's it! I like the process more, and I don't feel much about the final result."
This is also what Wang Qian really thinks. He enjoys the feeling of performing on stage with absolute geniuses like Chen Xiaowen and Ru Ke.
Now it was over, he had won the championship! Instead of feeling happy and excited, he felt a little empty inside.
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Well, you are worthy of being Professor Wang. This kind of big picture mentality is something I envy but cannot do. Now the first ranking voting of the top ten regions has begun. You are now ranked fourth, so hurry up and go to Weibo to call on everyone to vote for you. Our program team has already promoted you, but it will definitely not be as effective as if you speak out yourself!"
Wang Qian: "Well, I'll post on Weibo after I finish eating."
Zhou Qinghua: "Oh, right. You have a week to rest. After a week, I will personally lead the team and take you and Lao Cui to North America to compete. The voting time is also within this week. The rankings will be determined after a week, and then the opponents will be drawn according to the rankings. Lao Cui has already cast all 1,000 votes for you, and the rest depends on you to call on everyone."
Wang Qian: "I know, thank you Director Zhou."
Zhou Qinghua: "No need to say thank you, I've already been notified, so I won't say anything more, I'll hang up first, I'll catch up on some sleep, and I'll have a week to prepare well!"
Wang Qian: "Got it, I understand!"
Hang up the phone.
Wang Qian stood in front of the window and thought about it for a while.
At the dining table in the back, everyone had already placed their breakfast and sat at their respective seats.
Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, and Liu Shengnan all stopped eating and looked at Wang Qian.
It seemed that Wang Qian was the master of the house. No one else could start eating until the master started.
Qin Xuerong called out in a low voice: "Wang Qian, it's time to eat!"
Wang Qian came back to his senses, turned around and saw that everyone was looking at him, and said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I was distracted by something. Let's eat, don't wait for me."
Murong Yue muttered jokingly: "Now you are the head of the family, we dare not eat until you come."
Wang Qian walked over with a smile, pressed Murong Yue's hair and rubbed it hard. Ignoring Murong Yue's resistance, he sat down next to Qin Xuerong and said, "Let's start eating. Later, accompany me to record two songs, and then everyone can rest. We have a week's rest time, and I want to go back to the Magic City for a few days."
Qin Xuerong nodded: "Well, there are some things that need to be dealt with in the Magic City."
Murong Yue said excitedly: "Finally I can have a good rest. I want to go back to the capital."
Jiang Yu also whispered: "I'll go back with you too!"
Liu Shengnan ate the fried dough sticks and said softly, "I booked a flight for 11 o'clock. I'll go home after dinner!"
Wang Qian looked at Liu Shengnan and said, "Why don't you play for a few more days?"
Liu Shengnan smiled at Wang Qian and the others, shook her head and said, "No more playing, I have to go back and prepare my own work. I can't compare with you, who can write a piece of Nine Herbs in ten minutes with a complete arrangement. I have to think slowly and polish it slowly when I write a song."
Murong Yue: "This is the speed of a normal person. Wang Qian is not a normal person."
Thinking of the last performance last night.
Liu Shengnan, Murong Yue and Jiang Yu, the three participants, all have vivid memories of the event. Although it was nervous, it was also extremely exciting. Thinking about it now, they still feel a little unsatisfied.
They want to do it again! Three pairs of eyes looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian lowered his head to eat and said to Liu Shengnan, "Okay, I'll take you to the airport later."
Liu Shengnan smiled and said, "You should go record the song first. I see everyone is waiting anxiously. I can go to the airport by myself. I'm not a child anymore."
Wang Qian shook his head: "No, there's no rush to record the song. I'll do it in the afternoon. I'll take you to the airport first."
Liu Shengnan still wanted to refuse.
Qin Xuerong looked at her and said, "Shengnan, don't refuse. You are our friend. Since you are a guest at our home, of course I have to personally send you to the airport."
Liu Shengnan looked at Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong, nodded and smiled, "Okay, thank you for your help then."
It was a breakfast that took quite a long time.
Today, everyone was not in a hurry, so we ate and chatted for a while.
Finish breakfast.
Cleaned up a bit.
Wang Qian went out with Qin Xuerong and sent Liu Shengnan to the airport.
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue went to pick up Zhao Wei, and He Fulin went directly to the recording studio to prepare for the recording.
Qin Xuehong stayed at home, seemingly having some ideas to write down.
Wang Qian wanted to drive, but Qin Xuerong got in first and said, "You sit in the back and rest. I'll drive."
Qin Xuerong was worried that Wang Qian was too tired these days, so she wanted to let Wang Qian rest more as much as possible.
Wang Qian was somewhat touched and obediently sat in the back row with Liu Shengnan.
Liu Shengnan sat quietly on the other side, one seat between her and Wang Qian, and said softly, "Xue Rong, you are so nice to Wang Qian!"
Qin Xuerong smiled happily: "I never thought about being nice to him. I just did what I wanted to do. I hope he can be happy and relaxed, so that I can be happy too."
Liu Shengnan nodded, looked at Wang Qian, then turned her head to look out the window! She thought about it from another perspective.
Liu Shengnan felt that she could not do what Qin Xuerong did because she had more ideas of her own and could not live completely for Wang Qian.
After hearing what Qin Xuerong said, Wang Qian smiled but didn't say anything. He then had the leisure to take out his cell phone and check the information he wanted to see.
First, I logged into the backstage of Qianqian Jingting to check the data! The number of listens to "Life in Bloom" was 1,890,682, and the number of downloads was 1,909,8266!
Good Night BJ, listen 1100932, download 20108926!
The download figures for the two songs in one night are also terrifying.
They are all around 20 million, which is absolutely explosive data.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There is still half a day left, and it is certain that we will exceed 30 million.
at the same time!
Ru Ke’s three songs have all exceeded 10 million downloads, with the highest number of downloads exceeding 15 million. The gap between her and Wang Qian’s two songs is not very big, and it is estimated that they can all exceed 20 million in a day.
Qin Xuerong saw Wang Qian checking his phone messages in the rearview mirror and said softly, "Lao Xu called me this morning and told me about the situation. The platform gained tens of millions of new users overnight, and most of them are paying users. Now the total number of users on our platform has exceeded 80 million, and it's not far from the 100 million mark. The turnover is also increasing. Now they are compiling financial information, and it is estimated that they are making a lot of profit."
"Recently, major domestic investors have started to contact us again, still wanting us to open up financing. The financiers behind Tengfei offered the highest price, with a valuation of 10 billion. They want to give us 2 billion and take 15% of the shares. At the same time, they want us to cross-hold shares with Tengfei, and in the future they may merge our two platforms into one."
Wang Qian looked up and smiled, saying, "That's a good idea. If we merge with Tengfei, they may control the new company. Then the new company will definitely be able to monopolize the music market. It's a beautiful idea. It's impossible. Let's reject it. I think it's good for the two companies to compete with each other, plus the efforts of several small platforms. Everyone will feel pressure and work hard to improve. It's good for both singers and users."
"Anyway, I never thought about making money. Whether Tengfei can make money or not is none of my business."
Liu Shengnan smiled and said, "You are seeking benefits for the singers and their fans."
Wang Qian said softly, "Why not? The Chinese music scene is almost wiped out by them. If I don't come and give it a try, this pool of stagnant water will completely evaporate. By then, it's hard to say whether there will still be a Chinese music scene."
Liu Shengnan: "So, I choose to support you!"
Wang Qian: “Thank you!”
Liu Shengnan admired Wang Qian's vision very much.
Many other celebrities who have transformed themselves from celebrities to businessmen will begin to pursue profits purely like capital.
Some even directly used their fame to play financial tricks and began to reap the leeks, playing with many leeks who believed in their character and fame, harvesting billions and then leaving smoothly, truly transforming from a star to a capital player! No one can forget his original intention after growing and becoming stronger like Wang Qian! All those who talked about ideals and dedication during the entrepreneurial period will eventually become black-hearted capital that reaps leeks, without exception.
And Wang Qian wanted to be an exception.
He is not very interested in money, as long as he has enough for his living! Otherwise, if he really wanted to make money, he would have started to make money eight years ago, and now he might be among the top few in the Asian pig slaughtering list.
Wang Qian just wants to do what he is interested in.
It would be even better if it could be beneficial to the development of the industry you are interested in.
Given Qianqian Jingting's current situation, forming a competitive relationship with Tengfei and several other small and medium-sized platforms is indeed beneficial to the development of the entire industry.
If there is only one dominant company, then the industry will eventually decline. Without the vitality of competition, it will become a stagnant pool! Now...
It's pretty good.
Tengfei and several other platforms are working hard to discover good songs, to give singers better conditions, to stimulate them to release the best works, to give users the best experience and the most affordable prices, to attract more people to download and listen to songs, in order to counter the explosive pressure of Qianqian Jingting!
The Chinese music scene has slowly come back to life and is showing signs of prosperity.
Several people were chatting.
The car arrived at the airport.
Wang Qian was about to get out of the car to take Liu Shengnan in.
Liu Shengnan hurriedly grabbed Wang Qian's hand and said, "You don't have to go in. With your current popularity, going in might paralyze the place. Just send them here. You and Xuerong should go back quickly and record the songs and upload them. I want to download them and listen to them as soon as possible. Especially your Nine Herbs Compendium, the arrangement and lyrics have given me great inspiration."
Wang Qian thought about it and did not refuse. He knew that if he went to the airport now and was recognized, it might indeed cause congestion and disrupt public order. He said, "Okay, then have a safe trip. Send me a message when you get home. I will also notify you as soon as the song is uploaded."
Liu Shengnan got out of the car and waved to Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong: "Okay, goodbye, Xuerong, Wang Qian. Come to Chengdu to play when you have time."
Qin Xuerong and Wang Qian waved together.
Watched Liu Shengnan enter the airport.
Qin Xuerong turned the car around and drove towards the city, saying admiringly, "Shengnan lives a very carefree life. She is such a big star, she can leave and come as she pleases, without even bringing an assistant! However, once she shows up, she will definitely be surrounded by many people. She is very popular now, and all the entertainment companies are looking for her and want to sign a management contract with her. She will become a superstar in a short time!"
After a pause, Qin Xuerong continued, "However, Ru Ke is even more popular now. Early this morning, Ru Ke's number of fans exceeded 20 million, and she has truly become a super-star singer. Moreover, I heard that her family is not opposed to her signing a contract with an agency."
“So, several major entertainment groups came to Xihu City to find Ru Ke, wanting to sign her and the entire Baojia Street Band.”
Wang Qian narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if Ru Ke signs a contract with our company?"
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "That would be great. With Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, Bao Jiajie, and you, our company will be a top giant in the Chinese entertainment industry as soon as it opens."
Wang Qian, Liu Shengnan, and Ru Ke, these are three super stars.
Among the major giant groups in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there are no three super giant groups.
At most, two super giants will be in charge, plus a few first-tier super first-tiers, and many second-tier and third-tiers, forming a stable pyramid structure, and then it will be a top entertainment giant! Once Xuehong Entertainment has three super giants, and then signs contracts to attract some first-tier, second-tier and third-tier celebrity artists, it will directly return to the peak and become a veritable entertainment giant.
However, Qin Xuerong asked, "Will Ru Ke and the others sign with our company? Don't they want to sign a contract and want to be an independent band?"
Wang Qian: "Yes, I think so. I'll ask when the time comes."
Speaking of.
Wang Qian took out his phone and replied to Ru Ke: "Sure, you're welcome anytime!"
Ru Ke replied immediately: "Do you have a contract now? I'll come to you to sign it!"
Wang Qian's hands were shaking with fear. "Don't worry, the company hasn't been completely handed over yet, and Shengnan is still waiting. Wait a little while. After I finish the Voice of China competition, I will integrate the company properly. Then you and Shengnan can come to me to sign the contract."
Ru Ke replied immediately: "Okay, then I will concentrate on preparing new works recently. Good luck in the world competition. I can't go to the scene to cheer for you!"
Wang Qian: "I will. I look forward to your new works."
Ru Ke: "I am also looking forward to your performance in the World Championship!"
After chatting for a few sentences, neither of them continued the conversation.
I’m afraid that saying too much will lead to misunderstanding.
Qin Xuerong brought Wang Qian all the way to the recording studio.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin had already arrived and were familiar with Wang Qian's arrangement. They started recording as soon as Wang Qian arrived! Therefore, the recording went very smoothly! After all, the performance had just ended last night, and everyone still had the familiar feeling of the performance.
In just a few hours, the recording of both songs was completed.
Then!
Wang Qian did not delay and uploaded it immediately.
I first sent a message to Liu Shengnan: "Two songs have been uploaded."
At the same time, he just remembered to call on everyone to vote on Weibo, saying: "The two new songs have been recorded and uploaded. You can download them. At the same time, I would like to inform everyone that the preliminary voting rankings for the world competition have begun. Domestic viewers with voting rights can go and vote. Thank you for your support!"
Click to send.
Weibo exploded instantly.
At the same time.
Qianqian Jingting’s background data also exploded at the same time.
Please subscribe and support!
Thank you everyone.
