When Miyuki Nakamori walked onto the stage, her emotions had not yet completely calmed down!
She can still feel the aura that Wang Qian displayed on the stage just now.
There was warm applause all around.
The lively atmosphere on the stage!
Even, Miyuki Nakamori seemed to be able to vaguely hear the voice of Wang Qian's singing echoing on the stage, and in a trance she could even see Wang Qian's figure walking back and forth in the center of the stage.
"Welcome our next contestant, Miyuki Nakamori from the island country..."
Jennifer's voice came.
Miyuki Nakamori looked back again and saw that Wang Qian, who had just left, had disappeared. She stepped onto the stage with brisk steps, a bright smile on her face, waved to the applauding audience, walked up to Jennifer and gave her a gentle hug, saying softly, "Thank you."
The applause gradually died down.
Everyone looked at the contestant from the island country, Miyuki Nakamori, and many people showed some surprise in their eyes.
Although most of the audiences at the scene are European and American, there are only a very small number of audiences from Asia, and their aesthetic tastes are different from those of Asian audiences.
However, everyone can see the beauty in Miyuki Nakamori that transcends any barriers!
But it wasn't as shocking as what Taylor and Sophie had brought to them before.
Miyuki Nakamori wore a simple lavender dress and a black head flower on her head, looking mysterious and noble. She had a light makeup on her face and held a microphone in her hand. The accompaniment band she brought from the island country was ready behind her!
This year's Voice of China World Competition is known as the highest-level talent show!
This is because the resources that each contestant possesses are incomparable to those of contestants in ordinary talent shows.
Miyuki Nakamori's accompaniment band is also a famous accompaniment team in the island country. They have participated in the live performances of most of the famous singers in the island country, and even provided interludes for many famous animations, movies and TV shows. Although they are a behind-the-scenes team and the audience has never heard of them, they are a big name in the island country's music circle.
If it weren't for Miyuki Nakamori's impressive background, she wouldn't have been invited to participate in a talent show abroad.
Jennifer looked at Miyuki Nakamori and found that Miyuki Nakamori, who was wearing high heels, was about the same height as her. Her high heels were also about the same height, so the two of them were of similar height, both a little over 1.7 meters. Women of this height are considered above average even in North America.
Miyuki Nakamori's height is quite outstanding in the island country, almost a standard model figure.
Jennifer asked softly, "Mei Xue, did you meet Wang Qian when you went on stage just now?"
Miyuki Nakamori nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, Wang Qianjun and I met."
Jennifer smiled and said, "What did you think of his performance just now?"
Miyuki Nakamori responded with one English word: "Incredible!"
Jennifer: "Oh? That's a great compliment. Your performance is about to start. Are you stressed?"
Miyuki Nakamori also smiled and said, "There is definitely pressure, but it's not too great!"
Jennifer: “Why?”
Miyuki Nakamori said in a casual tone: "Because I am not pursuing results now. I just want to show my own music. If I don't want to win the championship, then I think Wang Qian and I will not be opponents!"
Many people at the scene expressed their appreciation after hearing what Miyuki Nakamori said, and applause followed.
Moreover, everyone naturally agreed with what Miyuki Nakamori said, believing that Wang Qian already had the strength and confidence to compete for the championship.
Kristen applauded Miyuki Nakamori. She liked Miyuki's attitude towards music and said to Sharon beside her: "She is a real musician!"
Sharon asked, "What about Wang Qian?"
Kristen was stunned for a moment, looked at Miyuki Nakamori, and then said: "Wang Qian has surpassed the scope of a musician."
Sharon pressed, "What is he then?"
Christine said calmly: "He is already considered a musical artist!"
Sharon: "So, Chris, do you think Wang Qian is no longer on the same level as the other nine contestants?"
Christine thought for a moment and then said, "I personally think so. Regardless of whether he can do what he just said on the stage, what he has done is enough to be called a music artist."
In Christine's opinion, Wang Qian's achievements in classical and pop music and his talent are enough to be called a music artist! Regardless of whether Wang Qian can sing excellent original songs with a brand new voice in subsequent performances, Wang Qian's three well-controlled singing voices, many original songs, and the unique aura on the stage are not comparable to the other nine contestants.
Adam?
In Christine's opinion!
Adam might be considered a stunningly talented contestant in other ordinary talent shows, and he is sure to win the championship.
But here, Christine thinks.
Adam is not even in the second tier! If Christine considers Wang Qian to be in the only tier.
So, Sophie, Elizabeth, and Miyuki Nakamori are in the second tier, and Adam and others are in the third tier.
Adam has no other advantages except his extremely high popularity in North America!
Win the championship?
Christine's eyes flickered with thought.
She guessed that if the production team didn't intervene.
In the end, Adam might not even be qualified to compete for the championship.
After hearing what Christine said, Sharon fell silent and said nothing.
She didn't know how to stop Christine from speaking well of Wang Qian, because Wang Qian's performance just now conquered her, who was always picky.
She now only hoped that Christine would just talk to her here and not tell anyone publicly! Otherwise, Wang Qian's popularity in Europe and the United States might increase a lot, and it would be a big blow to Adam! On the stage! Jennifer had already begun to leave the stage and handed the stage to Miyuki Nakamori.
The backing band has started playing! It's light rock music.
Miyuki Nakamori held the microphone tightly in one hand and clenched her other hand into a fist. She swayed slightly on the stage to the music, stepping back and forth with her feet. Her hands also swayed gently with her body. She seemed very relaxed and enjoying herself.
It did not have the hard rock style of Wang Qian just now, but instead had a fresh musical style that swept through the entire audience, allowing many people to quickly break away from the shock of Wang Qian's hard rock just now, and then fall into this fresh rock style again. They even seemed unable to help but follow the rhythm, and danced gently with Miyuki Nakamori on the stage with extremely simple steps.
The song sung by Miyuki Nakamori is also an English song!
It is not her original work, but a relatively famous English rock song. It is not a popular classic song, but a niche song with a certain reputation. After her adaptation, the style has changed greatly and it has a style that is clearly hers. Even most people at the scene could not tell the relationship between this song and the original. No one would doubt that it is an original song.
Many musicians were surprised when they saw Miyuki Nakamori, and at the same time admired that none of the people who had performed on the stage today were weak and all had the qualities of a superstar!
…
Wang Qian returned to the lounge and sat down to rest.
Qin Xuerong quickly poured her some water and then massaged her shoulders, her face full of tenderness and satisfaction.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin all had excitement on their faces.
The stage atmosphere just now deeply infected the four of them, so they performed more attentively and worked harder, and the performance was better, which led to a more infectious stage atmosphere! This is the driving effect of a strong person in a band.
It is also the soul of the band who determines and influences the band's style!
There are many top bands in the world, where every member is a top player in the industry, and their performances are also world-class. However, once a soul figure leaves the band, even if everyone else is a top player in the industry, they will no longer be able to perform at the same level as before, and thus quickly fall and become mediocre.
Similarly, there are some top bands that constantly change their accompaniment and even their lead singers, but the soul of the band remains the same throughout the entire time. They are still able to create good works of the same style and maintain a world-class performance standard!
Obviously, Wang Qian is such a soul figure who can support a top band and even enable band members to perform beyond their level.
Zhao Wei just sang a few background accompaniments, which made him feel very involved and accomplished. He said excitedly: "Haha, it was so cool just now. Didn't you see how many people were staring at us in amazement below the stage? They were all scared by us. It was so cool..."
Is this Staples?
Is this the world stage?
Is this our performance? Zhao Wei and He Fulin, two veteran Chinese rock stars, were so excited that their hands and feet were still shaking.
They achieved what they had only dreamed of before - performing on a stage that attracted worldwide attention! Jiang Yu was also a little excited, but she was able to control herself. After all, this was not her dream, so she was not that excited. She just smiled subtly, with a glittering halo in her eyes. She thought to herself, when she could achieve such a live effect when playing the piano, it would be perfect!
Murong Yue was holding a drumstick in her hand, tapping her hand gently and said loudly, "I was the most handsome just now, okay?"
Wang Qian gave a thumbs up to Murong Yue who was wearing a JK outfit: "Yes, you are the most handsome!"
Murong Yue smiled embarrassedly, thinking back to the aura on the stage when Wang Qian was performing in front of her just now. She probably would never forget it in her life. She said that she was the most handsome, but she was just being arrogant out of habit. However, she knew in her heart that Wang Qian was the most eye-catching one on the stage.
Cui Wenfeng clapped his hands gently: "You are all the best! Your performance is definitely the best performance tonight, and it is definitely the best rock performance in the past ten years! Wang Qian, you have been hiding it too deeply before. You really belong to rock... Have you thought about the next performance?"
Everyone looked at Wang Qian, full of anticipation.
Even Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei and He Fulin, the four band members, didn't know what Wang Qian was going to perform next.
Wang Qian looked at Miyuki Nakamori who had already started performing on the stage, and said softly, "It has not been decided yet. Let's see what happens in the next show! Take a good rest and prepare for the next few days. We don't know when we will go on stage yet."
There will be two matches in the next week's performance of the World Championship, which will be between Adam, who is ranked first, and the Danish player who is ranked tenth at the end. Each of them will have three performances, and the two will be best of three.
This is a match known for the biggest head-to-head match. Many musicians and media predicted that Adam would win without a doubt and defeat the contestant from Denmark!
Although this Danish player is the champion of his region, his strength in the world competition is indeed very ordinary.
At the same time, the second-placed Sophie will compete against the ninth-placed Brazilian player!
The second game will be between Elizabeth and the eighth-placed Polar Bear player, and the fourth-placed Wang Qian and the seventh-placed German player!
The third performance is the fifth-placed Miyuki Nakamori vs. the sixth-placed contestant from Asia. It is said that there will be other arrangements for this performance, but the production team has not announced them, leaving a mysterious expectation! Wang Qian still doesn't know what song he will sing in the next showdown with Jonathan. After all, there is still a long time, so he is not in a hurry and has enough time to prepare.
Cui Wenfeng nodded and said, "Prepare well! You made a big promise on the stage. If you can't do it, everyone will be disappointed."
Wang Qian's eyes flashed with determination. He glanced at everyone in the lounge, including Chen Xiaowen, and nodded to everyone with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Feng, I know what's going on!"
As he spoke, Wang Qian watched Miyuki Nakamori's performance carefully.
To be honest, Wang Qian was most impressed by Miyuki Nakamori's performance! This Miyuki Nakamori is a combination of the advantages and characteristics of several top singers in the peak period of the island country's pop music scene in Wang Qian's memory. The simple leg shaking dance on the stage and the relaxed temperament are like Izumi Sakai. Her appearance and temperament are more like Akina and Miyuki, and her talent is not inferior to Miyuki Nakajima, who is the ceiling of the island country's music creation ability.
Wang Qian believes that if the competition was not held in North America, Miyuki Nakamori would definitely shine even brighter!
pity……
This is Los Angeles in North America. The judges and audiences here always have an inherent condescending discrimination against Asians.
At this moment, Wang Qian thought that Miyuki Nakamori's performance was better than Adam's, not inferior to Sophie and Elizabeth, and perhaps even better in stage performance and musical talent! Of course, Wang Qian knew that this was just his own aesthetic and opinion, and perhaps in the eyes of many European and American audiences at the scene and in front of the TV, it was just average? Zhou Qinghua said to Wang Qian softly: "Wang Qian, the discussion about you is very hot all over the world now. Our domestic program group and TV station have carried out professional publicity planning for you. At the same time, after the performance is over, I will go to the international competition operation team and ask for more publicity resources to be allocated to you."
"But are you sure you can do what you say?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhou Qinghua stared at Wang Qian and asked very seriously.
He truly saw Wang Qian's hope of winning the championship, so he began to invest more publicity resources at all costs.
However, he wanted to know from Wang Qian whether Wang Qian could do it.
He was still afraid! After all, what Wang Qian said was a little unbelievable even for a layman like him!
However, once it is really done, the effect will be absolutely incredible.
Counterattack and win the championship.
It will no longer be just a word, but a tangible hope.
Wang Qian didn't take his eyes off the TV screen. He listened to Miyuki Nakamori's singing and whispered to Zhou Qinghua, "Director Zhou, I never brag. Do you believe me?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qinghua immediately said, "I understand. I'll make the call right now! This time, I'm risking everything for you."
Before, he and the Huaxia program team had some reservations and did not bet everything on Wang Qian, because they really did not see the hope of winning the championship. Even though Wang Qian always said he was confident, they were still skeptical. After all, winning the championship is not something that can be achieved by just talking. It is too difficult to have the right time, place and people! Now...
He really saw the hope of winning the championship.
Then, in order to obtain the huge possible benefits, Zhou Qinghua can persuade other shareholders of the production company and Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV Station to put all the company's resources and reserve funds into Wang Qian, and promote Wang Qian all over the world!
In order for Wang Qian to win the championship and to get half of the total profits of the world competition, Zhou Qinghua is going to make a desperate bet.
He Dongming smiled and said, "Come on, buddy, I always believe in you!"
Wang Qian turned around and clapped his hands with He Dongming: "Watch my performance!"
It is very rare that the two of them can still maintain their previous friendship and attitude as best friends.
This is also the important reason why Zhou Qinghua has always valued He Dongming! In the entertainment industry, no matter what profession you are in, you can't get ahead without a background and support. This is not only true for actors, but also for any other practitioners.
Wang Qian reached out and pulled Qin Xuerong, who was still massaging his shoulders and neck, to sit next to him: "No need, you should have a good rest too."
Qin Xuerong smiled sweetly and sat down next to Wang Qian: "Well, this Nakamori Miyuki's performance is also very impressive!"
Murong Yue said: "Well, I can see that, it's really amazing!"
Cui Wenfeng said softly: "Her rock style is very unique, but also very nice to listen to. This year, there are so many amazing newcomers."
Chen Xiaowen also listened carefully and wanted to say something, but didn't say it.
She wanted to say that if she could stand on this stage, she could perform as well as Miyuki Nakamori! But...
She was a loser after all and failed to stand on this stage.
At the same time, she felt very sorry and regretful.
It’s a pity that I am in the Chinese competition area, and it’s a pity that I am participating in the competition this year.
She believed that if she could go on stage, she would definitely not lose to Miyuki Nakamori, Sophie, Elizabeth and others.
If she hadn't met Wang Qian, if she participated in the competition next year or the year after, she would have the opportunity to participate in the World Championships, perform on the same stage with the champions from other regions of the world, and compete for the world championship!
pity……
She met Wang Qian.
She regretted not being able to perform and compete with these world-class talents, but at the same time she felt lucky to have met Wang Qian and to have performed on the same stage with him. This was also the most precious memory of her life! Very complicated emotions.
But it is also very real.
She knew that Ru Ke probably felt the same way as her! While listening to Miyuki Nakamori's performance, Wang Qian checked the information on his phone and looked at the public opinions in North America, Europe, and China! Most of the opinions in Europe and America were praise, with a small number of ridicules, and they were changing rapidly. Everyone quickly began to discuss the subsequent contestants and no longer focused on Wang Qian. After all, Wang Qian was not the local hot contestant they were familiar with, but a sudden rise!
However, without Wang Qian's popularity, the enthusiasm for The Voice of China in countries around the world has visibly declined.
Wang Qian took a quick look at the online public opinions in other countries and then returned to the Chinese Internet. After all, this is his hometown and his home court!
Unsurprisingly, all the major Chinese social media platforms praised him overwhelmingly, and even the official media got involved, which surprised Wang Qian a little but also made sense! He had heard rumors from Ru Ke and Qin Xuehong before, but there had been no action.
He could roughly guess the reason.
It must be because the higher-ups first confirmed whether he was capable of getting good results before taking action. It would be embarrassing if he was eliminated by other countries' contestants right after the large-scale promotion.
Official media also want to save face.
So! The official media has been waiting.
After Wang Qian's performance in the world competition, and when Wang Qian is truly capable of getting good results, he will work hard! However, Wang Qian did not expect that the official media would leave before his first opening performance was over, and the official competition had not even started.
Wang Qian looked at his Weibo and found that the number of followers had once again skyrocketed by more than two million. Even though the fan base has reached an unprecedented 60 million, the number of fans is still increasing at a high speed, and the appeal to many passers-by is still strong.
There are an astonishing number of spokespersons under the Weibo post, with countless comments appearing every second, most of which are praises.
Wang Qian also saw that almost the entire entertainment industry was taking advantage of his popularity and praising his previous performance.
Several major music conservatories also came out to praise the piano pieces they played!
Many fans expressed their eagerness to download the songs he had just performed.
Bang! Zhou Qinghua pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on his face. He said to Wang Qian excitedly, "It's done! I've convinced the international operations team. They promised to invest more resources in you. You will be second only to Adam, and have the same resources as Sophie."
Before, Wang Qian enjoyed resources comparable to his own ranking, ranking fourth, after Adam, Sophie, and Elizabeth.
Now, before the official competition has started and without eliminating any contestant, the program team has raised his resource level by one place, surpassing Elizabeth and making it equal to Sophie, which is almost equivalent to the treatment of second place. This is absolutely a rare thing.
Cui Wenfeng asked curiously, "How did you convince them? I remember that the last time you went to talk to them, they ignored you. With that attitude, I didn't want to talk to them a second time."
After seeing the attitudes of those European and American managers of the program group, Cui Wenfeng decided not to discuss things with them anymore. If there was any problem, he would leave it to Zhou Qinghua to negotiate. After all, Zhou Qinghua was the representative of the Chinese copyright owner and was also listed as one of the management. With this identity, he could have a say in the international operations group.
Zhou Qinghua smiled proudly and said, "Everything is for profit! Wang Qian's performance tonight has the highest ratings, which is significantly higher than Elizabeth's performance earlier. At the same time, after he left the stage, the ratings in other regions dropped a lot, except for Miyuki Nakamori's home island country. Moreover, the discussion about our program on the Internet in various countries around the world has also dropped a lot. For the sake of the program's ratings and popularity, the operation team must allocate some resources to Wang Qian. If Wang Qian can continue to maintain this strength in the next official competition, he may enjoy the highest publicity resources, surpassing Sophie and enjoying the same resources as the North American champion Adam!"
"It's just like what many people in Europe and America often say, this is just a business! The first goal of the program team is definitely to make money. Whoever can bring benefits is God!"
"Now, Wang Qian is the one who can bring the most benefits."
Cui Wenfeng laughed and said, "That makes sense. These people do everything for the money. Wang Qian is now the cash cow of the show, so they will definitely try to please him!"
Wang Qian smiled but said nothing. He continued to operate his phone and logged into Qianqian Jingting. He uploaded the most perfect performance he had recorded when he was practicing Magic City Rhapsody in the studio with Taylor and Sophie to Qianqian Jingting. Then he said on Weibo: "Thank you very much to all the fans for your support. Thank you to all my friends for your support. I will continue to work hard on the international stage!"
"Many friends want to listen to my performance repertoire. However, the performance that just ended must wait until the program team uploads it uniformly in North America before I can upload it to the Chinese platform. So, I will upload this piano piece Magic City Rhapsody for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for your support!"
When you're done, click Send.
In an instant! This Weibo post received over a million likes and reposts, and the comment section under Wang Qian’s Weibo post exploded.
Then!
When Wang Qian wanted to refresh the page to see what people were saying, he found that the Weibo page was frozen...
Eh? Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Qinghua.
Zhou Qinghua looked at Wang Qian and said, "After the performance, don't forget to accept the interview with the North American TV station. Every contestant must be interviewed. The program team may give you more interview time and promote you more."
The increased interview time is one of the increased publicity resources.
Wang Qian nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
He refreshed the Weibo page again and found that it was still stuck.
Now he knew that the Weibo server was probably stuck again.
There is no way.
He could only close the Weibo page, enter Qianqian Jingting, refresh the background, and check the download data after Magic City Rhapsody was uploaded!
Please subscribe and support! I will be waiting for an opportunity to explode in the next two days! Thank you for your support...
