Chapter 274 273. Contestant Wang Qian? No, it’s Professor Wang! (Subscribe!)
Weibo was just crashed due to something Wang Qian did to it, and it took half an hour to recover.
Now it has recovered, but there are still some signs of lag, and it's not very smooth.
Especially since Wang Qian’s own homepage is the center of Weibo traffic, it will be more laggy when opening his own homepage.
so.
Wang Qian first went directly to Qianqian Jingting to check the data of Magic City Rhapsody. At the same time, he also posted the live version of the song Its My Life and video that he had just received from the program team on Qianqian Jingting for everyone to download.
This was a contract signed in advance.
Because the organizers and major statistical agencies that cooperate with them do not recognize the data from the Chinese region, and are unwilling to include the data from the Chinese region in the competition results.
Therefore, all contestants are allowed to decide on the downloading of songs from the Hua Xia region. Regardless of whether the contestants authorize the Hua Xia platform or register an account on the platform and upload their works themselves, the program team will not interfere. It's just that the data results of this part will not be included in everyone's ranking data.
Wang Qian naturally also enjoyed this treatment.
The program team also hopes that all players can go to China to release their works, because this can help the program team hype up the popularity and increase the popularity and attention of the World Championship in China, thereby increasing the ratings, which can also bring a lot of benefits.
only!
For now.
Only Wang Qian, a local Chinese player, pays more attention to the release of his works in the Chinese competition area. The other nine players are not paying attention to the Chinese market for the time being, because it has no impact on their performance and ranking.
Perhaps, when they officially debut after the World Championship, every player will begin to pay attention to the Chinese market. After all, this is the most populous market in the world with unlimited potential.
However, Wang Qian already had an idea in mind! Since...
If the program team doesn’t interfere!
Can I pull all the other contestants to the Qianqian Jingting platform to upload their own songs? After thinking about it, Wang Qian temporarily suppressed this idea and waited until he met Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori, two contestants with whom he had a good relationship, to talk to them about it next time!
Open the backstage!
Wang Qian immediately saw the long list of download data behind Magic City Rhapsody.
Magic City Rhapsody, listen 15880, download 12608006!
The total number of downloads has exceeded 12 million and is about to exceed 13 million. This is just data from less than an hour. If we wait until tomorrow, maybe we can really break the record.
This is an absolutely amazing result for a piano piece.
Previously, on the Qianqian Jingting platform, several of Wang Qian’s piano pieces almost represented the highest paid download data for piano pieces in the Chinese region.
Several songs including To Xuerong, Demon City March, Girl's Prayer, Wedding March, Flight of the Bumblebee, etc. have received over 10 million downloads on Qianqian Jingting. Among them, the three piano songs To Xuerong, Wedding March and Girl's Prayer have exceeded 30 million cumulative downloads.
If various unknown free downloads are included, Wang Qian's songs are definitely not the ones with the highest download figures. The download figures of world famous songs on some free websites are calculated in billions.
However, if we only count paid downloads, Wang Qian's piano pieces definitely have the highest paid download data in China. After all, most people are reluctant to spend money to download a piano piece.
This Magic City Rhapsody is definitely an extremely beautiful pop piano piece with great potential. In addition, it was played for the first time at the opening performance of the Voice of China World Competition, which amazed almost all the audiences at the scene and in front of the TV. That’s why it attracted so many people to download it. The download data on the first day is estimated to be over 30 million. It is not a problem to break the highest paid download record in China! Perhaps, the download performance of this piano piece in North America can also amaze the entire European and American pop music scene! He Dongming said excitedly: "Wang Qian, your Its my life! Downloads have exceeded 4 million, and the piano piece Magic City Rhapsody has exceeded 2 million downloads, awesome! The top two are stable, and Sophie, who is in third place, has only 1.5 million downloads, and the gap is still widening. That awesome Adam has only more than 1.1 million downloads, ranking fourth, hahaha..."
He Dongming recalled the several times he had met Adam and the arrogance of Adam and his team. Now he felt refreshed and couldn't help laughing excitedly. If he was not concerned about the repercussions, he would laugh out loud in front of Adam next time.
Cui Wenfeng said with a smile: "Wang Qian is sure to get off to a good start..."
Zhou Qinghua also laughed his mouth off: "The program team just held a meeting, and the representatives from North America and Germany wanted to suppress our Wang Qian, but they were pushed back by our people. They have no way to suppress this result. As long as the program team still has face and wants to continue to make money in the future, there is no way to suppress it."
"However, they still refuse to acknowledge Wang Qian's achievements in China, saying they are fake."
Wang Qian said indifferently: "If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it. Then I will defeat them in their own home and leave them speechless."
Zhou Qinghua: "Okay, well said. It's getting late, so we won't disturb you. If you are going to give a lecture at the Curtis Institute in a couple of days, please let me know in advance and I and the program team will help you arrange it. This can also be used for publicity. After all, Curtis is one of the most famous music schools in North America, which will help your popularity in Europe and the United States."
A newly debuted contestant, whose piano music astonished the world, and who was then invited by the Curtis Institute of Music to perform and give lectures, is something that the entire Voice of China program team must pay attention to. This is because it will raise the profile and artistry of the entire program, and it is a high-profile topic that can definitely be hyped up, which will make more viewers recognize the program and is good for the ratings.
Everything is for profit.
Wang Qian thought about it and said, "No problem. If I go, I will tell you."
After being persuaded by Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and Qin Xuerong, Wang Qian also began to be moved.
After attending lectures at two domestic music colleges, Moyin and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, Wang Qian gained some confidence in his musical quality and piano skills.
perhaps……
Is it time to go to Curtis and prove myself? But...
Wang Qian still had some concerns in his heart.
In fact, I am worried about the car turning over.
After all, the Curtis Institute of Music is much higher than Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. In the ranking of world-renowned classical music schools, Curtis has always been ranked among the top three in the world, which is equivalent to the well-known top schools such as Harvard and MIT.
Zhejiang Conservatory of Music and Magic Conservatory of Music are not even among the top 50 in the world. Among all the music schools in China, only the Central Conservatory of Music is ranked among the top 50 in the world.
Therefore, from the ranking, we can see that Curtis and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music are not in the same league. The teachers of these two schools are basically world-renowned top musicians, such as Professor Dawson, a world-class piano master, and other world-class composers and top performers of other instruments!
There may be only one or two such master musicians in the entire Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, and they will be regarded as the treasures of the school.
But in Curtis, there are at least a dozen or twenty master-level musicians, and the level of other teachers is at least one level lower than that of the master-level musicians, not much different.
As for students, the gap is even greater! For example, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music and Magic Conservatory of Music only recruit some relatively talented students in China. They generally cannot recruit top-level talented students, who either go to the Central Conservatory of Music or go to international famous schools.
However, Curtis selected the geniuses among the top music talents in the world and then recruited them to train! Students like Taylor are geniuses among geniuses. At the age of 20, he was called one of the top ten young pianists in North America. He is also the youngest among the top ten young pianists and has achieved some success.
There were other top-notch talented students who were almost as talented as Taylor, or just a little bit behind him...
When the time comes, will these world-class talents and world-class master musicians come to listen to his lectures? Wang Qian still feels very stressed when he thinks about it!
after all……
After all, he had never received any orthodox and systematic music training, and did not have the solid foundation that Professor Dawson had built up step by step.
He can't explain the serious basic things clearly.
but……
If we talk about something advanced, difficult, and practical, he should be able to handle it with his knowledge from two lifetimes as a human being and his current master-level piano playing skills.
Take a deep breath! Wang Qian calmed himself down and gradually let go of the pressure in his heart.
Just go...
Don’t be afraid! I encouraged myself.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong stood up and saw Zhou Qinghua, Cui Wenfeng, He Dongming, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin off.
Jiang Yu and Murong Xue stayed to chat with Qin Xuerong for a while. They mainly wanted to talk about going to Curtis.
Wang Qian went to turn on the water to take a bath, washing away all the fatigue in his body.
After a while, Qian Qian Jingting's background data increased again! The download data of Magic City Rhapsody has exceeded 14 million.
The song "Its My Life" was just uploaded a few minutes ago, and Wang Qian has not yet promoted it on his Weibo, but it has already received more than three million downloads! Obviously, many of Wang Qian's fans are still waiting to download this song on Qian Qian Jing Ting, and will also spontaneously help promote it.
Therefore, we can have such high download data in such a short time.
Just refreshed it! The download data of the song Its My Life has increased by one million again, reaching more than four million. It is estimated that it will exceed tens of millions of downloads in a short time.
However, this song is not a Chinese song after all. Its initial explosion may be amazing due to its current popularity, but its lasting potential may still be inferior.
Wang Qian believes that if it is a good-sounding Chinese song and has such a large amount of promotional resources, the download data will be even more terrifying and it is possible to break the previous record.
Language and cultural barriers always exist.
Wang Qian refreshed the Weibo page and found that the lag was slightly better, but it was still a bit laggy. He immediately looked at the background data of Romance of the Three Kingdoms on Qianqian Collection of Literature out of curiosity!
Seeing those long numbers, Wang Qian was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that after a few days of suspension, Romance of the Three Kingdoms could still attract so many people to pay to download it? Yesterday's new subscriptions remained at more than 90 million, and tens of millions of people subscribed to all the updated chapters, which could still bring Wang Qian tens of millions of daily income.
Having a super popular phenomenal work will really bring in a lot of income continuously.
If Wang Qian was a little more lazy and just laid back and enjoyed the copyright income from the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms and many of his songs, it would be enough for his descendants to enjoy wealth and glory.
It 's really like sitting there and making money! However, Wang Qian knows that Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very popular on major social platforms and in the academic field. Many ordinary readers and teachers and students of literature and history are discussing the characters and stories in this book. Therefore, it will attract more people to watch it. It seems not surprising that there are still such data during the period of suspension.
However, such popularity cannot be maintained forever. It will only last for a few months at most. Then comes the Spring Festival and the Lunar New Year holiday. Add to that the super popularity of The Voice of China World Contest, which will definitely take away a lot of popularity from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Um……
Weibo has been restored.
Wang Qian immediately posted a message on his Weibo page to inform everyone: "I have just uploaded the live version of Its My Life with a live performance video. Those who want to listen to it can go to Qianqian Jingting to download it."
Click Send! The Weibo page becomes very smooth.
As soon as it was released, it immediately received hundreds of thousands of likes and reposts, and you could also see a lot of comments below.
"I finally waited for Professor Wang's song. It's really nice."
"Wow, the live version of Magic City Rhapsody is playing on a loop. My god, Professor Wang is accompanied by world-class goddesses, and they are all very talented. It's so pleasing to the eyes, I never get tired of watching it."
"I listened to Magic City Rhapsody for half an hour. It's really nice. Professor Wang is really a good boy of Magic City. He released a Magic City March before and now released another Magic City Rhapsody. The name Magic City must have spread all over the world."
"I looked at the rankings of the world competition contestants on the North American Billboard. Professor Wang was overwhelmingly ranked first and second. Both of his works far surpassed the second-place Sophie. The North American champion Adam, who was previously ranked first in the world, is now only ranked fourth. Professor Wang is amazing!"
"Professor Wang is number one, awesome!"
“I’m downloading it.”
"I've been waiting for a long time, and finally I can listen to it."
"I wanted to download it from the North American website, but it was too troublesome. I finally waited until Qian Qian Jing Ting could be downloaded."
"When is Professor Wang's next competition? I really want to know what voice Professor Wang will use to sing in the next competition?"
"Professor Wang's singing is the best voice on earth!"
…
The Weibo platform has finally returned to normal.
Wang Qian took a quick look at everyone's support for him and felt very good.
The growth rate of the number of followers on Weibo has increased again. Now there are more than 65 million followers, and maybe tomorrow there will be 70 million! At this rate, maybe after the World Championship is over, the number of followers on Weibo of Wang Qian will exceed 100 million? 100 million followers on a single platform!
This is a number that no one in the entire entertainment industry dares to imagine.
There is no such thing as unlimited account registration.
There are only about 300 to 400 million users on the Weibo platform, many of whom are dead accounts that are left there after registration. The number of truly active users does not exceed 200 million!
If the number of followers reaches over 100 million, it proves that one out of every two people who use Weibo follows Wang Qian!
This is an incredible thing.
I clicked on it and took a look at the current public opinion on Weibo.
As expected, the top spot on the hot list was the news that Wang Qian topped the list in North America! Less than an hour after the North American news was announced, the discussion here was already extremely heated.
after all!
This is the championship in someone else's home turf in North America.
Chinese contestant Wang Qian defeated many top European and American talented contestants at his performance in North America, which made the audience across the country extremely excited and proud.
Over the past few years, Europe and the United States have been suppressing China, which has caused many people to accumulate a lot of resentment. At this moment, they all vented their resentment through Wang Qian's feat of suppressing many talented European and American players. It seems that Wang Qian helped them and the entire China to get revenge! So! The entire Internet is discussing this matter everywhere, and almost everyone supports Wang Qian.
Not only Weibo, but other social platforms such as Douyin, WeChat, Toutiao, etc., the screens are full of news about Wang Qian's performance and his climb to the top!
even!
Wang Qian also saw a video that appeared in the official media.
That was when the official media inserted a piece of news into the midday news about Wang Qian's good results in the North American Voice World Competition.
With Wang Qian's explosive sales performance, the official media completely let go of their reserve and wait-and-see attitude, and began to carry out large-scale publicity for Wang Qian and The Voice of China World Competition.
At this moment, Wang Qian, in a sense, represents China's external image!
The stronger Wang Qian is, the better the results will be.
The more successful the image of China as a whole is in the world, the more powerful the confidence of many people in the country will be enhanced.
National self-confidence and pride are accumulated through these things and are built step by step with the world's top honors.
So! The popularity of discussing Wang Qian on major online platforms is almost unstoppable, and no one will stop it. Various self-media and major media have come out to follow the trend and help Wang Qian promote! Wang Qian also has some honor and pride in his heart.
Of course, the most important thing is the heavy sense of responsibility.
If the official media has done something, then the authorities will definitely have high hopes for him. With the official publicity, his popularity will be even higher, but at the same time he must also get good results to repay the authorities and the many fans who support him!
otherwise……
If he fails.
I am afraid that I will never have the chance to appear on any page of official media again, and I will not have the face to return to China to join the entertainment industry. I can only find ways to strongly support aerospace technology and try to live on another planet.
Wang Qian replied to the messages from Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, Xue Man and other friends, and then went back to the Qianqian Jingting backstage to check the backstage data! More than ten minutes passed.
The data for the song "Its my life" also saw a huge increase.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Listen 109, download 10886600!
The download data has directly exceeded 10 million and is about to reach 11 million. It is only a matter of time before it surpasses Magic City Rhapsody.
It can be seen that everyone supports him without reservation.
Wang Qian once again said on Weibo: "Thank you for your support, thank you, I will try my best to strive for the best results for everyone!"
Click to send! Wang Qian no longer reads domestic news, because too much support and praise would also make him feel a little pressured.
I looked at the situation on Facebook and Twitter in Europe and the United States! I saw that on these two major social platforms, the news about the Voice of China World Championship was the hottest at the moment, suppressing many of the hottest TV series and Christmas blockbusters currently being released in Europe and the United States, which was similar to the situation of the Chinese New Year blockbusters and annual dramas!
More than 200 to 300 million viewers in Europe and the United States watched the opening performance of The Voice of China, and a large number of them expressed their opinions on the performances of the contestants on Facebook and Twitter.
Discussions about Wang Qian are still the most discussed.
because……
Wang Qian was very controversial on stage tonight. His performance was world-class and the atmosphere was explosive! However, the most talked about topic was still what Wang Qian said: "In the future, I will use a different voice to sing songs in every performance on the Voice of China stage. I am the best voice on earth!"
Many people are still skeptical and don't believe it, thinking that Wang Qian is just bragging to create hype! "Although Wang Qian, the Chinese contestant, has sung a very nice song with several different voices, I still don't believe he can change his voice to sing more later. The throat is not a piece of plasticine, it's impossible for him to knead it! You know, he has at least two more performances to come, and I don't believe he can sing with different voices in both performances. That's not something a human can do."
"God, I watched the video of his performance, it was so amazing, I really regret not being able to watch it live."
"Magic City Rhapsody is the most beautiful piano piece I have ever heard."
"The voice is innate, and the sound is also innate. It is impossible to change it just because you want to! That is impossible..."
"I look forward to his next performance. If he can do it, I will vote for him. If he can't do it, then I will vote for his opponent."
"Oh my god, he's in the top two spots in sales of all the songs performed tonight. Do you like his music so much?"
"Look at Adam, he's only fourth, what a shame!"
"The download data of a piano piece far exceeds that of Adam..."
"what happened?"
…
Wang Qian did not register an account on the two major social networking platforms in North America, so he did not interact with people on them! Seeing that most of the discussions about him were questioning, Wang Qian was not surprised at all.
After all, he was an outsider! And what he said on stage did sound like bragging.
It's human nature for people to have doubts about him!
but.
Among the few people who supported him, there was Kristen, who was known as the queen of the European and American music scene, which surprised Wang Qian a little!
Kristen posted a short message on her Facebook account a dozen minutes ago: "I watched the live performance of The Voice of China tonight. It was great. Especially the performance of Chinese contestant Wang Qian. I was impressed. I am looking forward to his next performance."
This is already a relatively long message on Kristen's account.
She rarely posted news on social platforms before, unless she had a work or something important to announce on the platform! Therefore, every time she posted news, it would attract a lot of attention.
This time is no exception!
Everyone was very surprised by her public praise and expectations for Wang Qian.
In just over ten minutes, the message Christine posted received millions of likes and reposts, and the number of people leaving comments exceeded 100,000.
“Chris, you went on stage and made contact with Wang Qian. Don’t do this. He is not worthy of you.”
"Chris, do you think he can do this? I don't believe he can."
"Chris, do you like rock, too? As a country singer, shouldn't you hate rock?"
"Chris, why don't you support Adam?"
“Chris…”
Among the many comments under Kristen's Facebook post, more people questioned Kristen's behavior of praising Wang Qian, and believed that Kristen should support Adam.
However, Christine did not explain anything about this. She just released this message and then there was no further movement.
Wang Qian smiled slightly, did not continue browsing the social media in Europe and the United States, hurriedly took a shower and walked out of the bathroom, only to see that Jiang Yu and Murong Yue had already left.
Qin Xuerong was making the bed for Wang Qian and said softly, "Jiang Jiang and Xiaoyue said that they would go to Curtis with us. Have you made up your mind?"
Wang Qian nodded: "Well, let's go!"
After seeing the domestic public opinion, Wang Qian knew that he must win the championship, otherwise he would not be able to return home to face the people of Jiangdong.
Therefore, going to Curtis Institute to improve your fame and reputation can also increase everyone's understanding of you and attract more people to support you!
certainly……
Wang Qian also needs to prepare. He needs to simulate in his mind as much as possible what will happen when he teaches the world's top performers, composers, and top musical geniuses at the Curtis Institute, so that he can be prepared to deal with it and avoid a real setback!
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "If the news of you giving a lecture at Curtis College gets out, what do you think the other nine contestants will look like?"
There was some anticipation and a smirk in Qin Xuerong's eyes.
She could imagine that the expressions of the other nine contestants would be very interesting.
after all……
They just debuted on the Voice of China stage and are still newcomers.
Sophie is still a student at the Paris Conservatory of Music!
Wang Qian went to teach at Curtis, a world-class music school, and even became an honorary professor?
Then this...
Will they have to call Wang Qian Professor Wang when they see him on stage in the future? Just like other contestants on the China Voice stage when they see Wang Qian? This will make them feel shorter than Wang Qian, and they will definitely not be in a good mood, which may even affect their performance on stage.
Wang Qian didn't care about it: "Let them think whatever they want. We will be rivals sooner or later anyway. Let's go to sleep..."
Qin Xuerong hummed.
The two of them packed up and went to bed early.
…
North American time.
Early the next morning.
Although the jet lag had been eliminated, Wang Qian still woke up relatively early. He gently put down Qin Xuerong's arm that was on him, got out of bed quietly, and was about to wash his face when his cell phone vibrated.
It was an unfamiliar number from North America! Wang Qian picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"
A relatively calm male voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Wang Qian, I'm Dawson!"
Curtis's Professor Dawson?
Taylor's teacher.
Wang Qian immediately said, "Oh, hello, Professor Dawson."
Professor Dawson was also staying in another hotel at the moment. He had just gotten up and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"
Wang Qian: "No, I just got up too."
Professor Dawson: "Your performance of the Mordor Rhapsody yesterday was fantastic."
Wang Qian: “Thank you, professor. I think it’s great too.”
Wang Qian was not at all humble in front of Professor Dawson.
Professor Dawson smiled and said, "I like the way you talk, so I'll just say it directly. Has Taylor contacted you? You should have accepted my invitation. I'm about to pack my luggage and return to Philadelphia. Do you need me to help you book a flight?"
Wang Qian thought for a moment and said, "Taylor has already told me, and I agreed. Thank you Professor Dawson for fighting for me. However, I can't go with you right away."
Professor Dawson: "No, I didn't fight for anything for you. It's all your great strength and talent. It's our school's honor that you can come to work here. When can you go? I can wait here for you to leave together."
Wang Qian: "Well... maybe we can go in the afternoon. I still have some things to deal with here."
Professor Dawson: "No problem. I'll wait for you. I'll help you book the tickets. How many people are there?"
Wang Qian: “Five people!”
Wang Qian thought about it and included Chen Xiaowen in the list. After all, Chen Xiaowen had helped him this time, and he knew that Chen Xiaowen would definitely go, so let's go together.
Professor Dawson: "Okay, the college will reimburse all your round-trip expenses."
Wang Qian smiled: "Thank you!"
Professor Dawson: "Well, can I announce this news now?"
Wang Qian: "Of course, I don't mind."
Professor Dawson: "Then I will announce it later. My breakfast is here, I will eat it first. When you are ready, call me, Taylor and I will pick you up by car, and then we will go to the airport together."
Wang Qian: “Okay, professor, thank you.”
Dawson: "Well, see you this afternoon. I am looking forward to your lecture at our Curtis Institute."
Wang Qian: "Goodbye. I am also looking forward to exchanging music with the world's top musicians at Curtis."
Put down the phone!
Wang Qian took a deep breath, washed his face, and began to get into shape, preparing mentally for tomorrow's lecture at Curtis College! After sobering up a little, Wang Qian also ordered breakfast using the hotel's internal phone, then sat on the sofa and looked at his phone! First he looked at the rankings on the bulletin board!
Without a doubt.
The first and second are still two works by Wang Qian.
A night passed.
The sales data of the performances of all ten contestants increased significantly.
However, Wang Qian's two works still saw the largest increase.
Even in the eyes of many musicians and ordinary people in North America.
Wang Qian's two works are terrifying! Please subscribe and support!
Thank you everyone... I will find an opportunity to explode in the next two days.
Thank you for your support...
