Chapter 316 315. The queens were beaten down! Their records are too low! (Subscribe)
Although Christmas has passed in Europe and the United States, it is still the year-end holiday time!
Therefore, this is the most active period in the entertainment industry every year! Major blockbusters from major film production companies are almost all released during this period, contributing the most box office revenue of the year.
Most of the first-line singers and even superstars will choose this time period to release their carefully prepared works, which will also achieve the best sales of the year.
Just a week ago!
The top ten songs on the North American Billboard are filled with works by many first-line singers from Europe and the United States and several superstars. There are also many works by familiar first-line singers after the dozen or so, so the competition is extremely fierce.
At that time, The Voice of China World Championship began.
The singers in the European and American pop music scene had no idea about this at the time, and had no intention of changing their plans for releasing songs. They still maintained their original plans and looked down on the contestants of the Voice of China World Championship! Until...
After the opening performance of The Voice of China, the wonderful performances astonished the world and made the entire global pop music scene take their presence seriously.
All live versions of the contestants' performances are now available on the market and are ranked on the Billboard charts.
All of a sudden, the works of many top singers were squeezed out overnight.
Moreover, the music queen-level work that was previously ranked first was squeezed to second place by Wang Qian's work, and now it can't even hold the second place, and is directly ranked fourth or fifth!
The competition in the pop music market has suddenly become more intense! Although, in theory, these contestants of the Voice of China World Championship are still newcomers who have not officially released any albums.
but!
The fierce competition they brought to the European and American meteor music market was like the effect of three or four new kings and queens, and three or four first- and second-tier high-quality singers releasing works at the same time. Instantly, the entire pop music market was in turmoil, suppressing many old kings and queens and first-tier singers.
If we say that when The Voice of China World Competition started, many pop singers had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
So now.
The entire European and American pop music scene seemed to be shaken by an earthquake.
On Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, many famous singers who had plans to release songs recently have announced that they will postpone their plans, and no exact time has been given for the release!
Just as one musician said, "The contestants of this year's Voice of China World Championship are so amazing that all the singers in the pop music world have changed their song release schedules! I even know that several singers not only changed their song release schedules, but also directly abandoned the new songs they had carefully prepared for a year and wanted to create new songs from scratch, and they were required to create the same type of works based on the works of the most popular contestants of the Voice of China."
“The Voice International is essentially just a talent show, but it is changing the entire music scene!”
…
One music critic even posted a screenshot, which was exactly the real-time ranking of Billboard this morning.
It shocked many people.
The first and second place are both Wang Qian! The rock song "Its My Life" is undoubtedly ranked first.
However, the second place is something that many pop musicians would never have thought of. It is actually the piano piece Magic City Rhapsody! A piano piece actually ranked second on the Billboard chart! Moreover, the sales data for two days exceeded 40 million. If it weren't for the even more terrifying sales of Wang Qian's first rock song, this piano piece would normally be enough to crush other European and American music kings, queens and singers to the top.
The third place went to Sophie, another contestant from The Voice! The fourth place went to Adam, another contestant from The Voice.
The fifth place is a North American superstar singer. She was the top seller last week, but now she is ranked fifth. The problem is that the sales decline of her works this week is not beyond expectations and is still within the normal range. According to common sense, she should be able to maintain the top sales for another week, and the sales crown will be handed over to another superstar singer who releases a new song in the third week.
But now, she was directly squeezed to the fifth place. Although winning the sales championship for one week was already pretty good, she and her team had been preparing for this song for a year. It was the painstaking work of the entire team. It was coming with great momentum. She had to win the sales championship for at least two weeks, and then hype it up a bit to consolidate her fame as a queen.
But now, she is completely out of the spotlight! No one pays attention to her and her works anymore.
Even though she was the top seller last week.
No one has been paying attention to her this week, putting her status as a queen in jeopardy. If she doesn't release a hit new album within a year or two, she might really fall from the level of a queen to a first-tier star.
Her experience has made many big-name singers afraid to compete head-on with Wang Qian and other Voice of China contestants.
If one falls from a high status, it will be extremely difficult to get back on track, and there is a high probability that he or she will never be able to do so again.
No one dares to joke about his or her own status, so the only choice is to avoid the fight and stay away!
The sixth is Elizabeth and the seventh is Miyuki Nakamori.
The eighth place is another new work by a North American superstar singer. It has been on the market for three weeks. It won the sales championship in the first week, then ranked second in the second week, and dropped directly to eighth place in the third week. And this is only temporary. It is expected to drop further by the weekend.
Because the sales momentum of other contestants of The Voice of China is still good, and their ranking may continue to rise!
Some even predicted it.
By the end of the week, nine of the top ten spots on the Billboard chart will be occupied by contestants from The Voice of China. Except for last week's top seller, all other singers' songs will be relegated to the bottom of the top ten! This will have a huge impact on the entire European and American pop music scene, and all the big-name singers are in a state of panic.
The music critic said: "Perhaps, during the Voice of China, we will no longer see big-name singers releasing new works."
This comment was liked and forwarded by many people, especially many people in the industry who agreed with it.
…
After Wang Qian finished washing up, the hotel’s breakfast was delivered on time.
Qin Xuerong put away his phone, saved the screenshot of the billboard, and said with a little excitement and pride: "Now, many people say that you will definitely break the North American pop music weekly sales record again."
Wang Qian ate his breakfast and said with a smile: "That's because their record is too low!"
Qin Xuerong was stunned for a moment, then thought of Wang Qian's music download record in China, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's because their previous download sales records were too low."
But Qin Xuerong knew.
Half a year ago.
The download records of the Chinese music market are still far lower than the music download sales records in Europe and the United States.
After all, the highest monthly download record held by Tengfei, the largest platform at that time, was only about 30 million, and it was held by Liu Shengnan for several years and no one could break it. At that time, many works that won the monthly download championship had only about 20 million downloads, which was very common data in the European and American markets.
Until Wang Qian appeared, the first song he released directly broke the record that Liu Shengnan had held for several years, reaching a monthly download record of 40 million! Afterwards, Wang Qian still created even more amazing sales data in the second month under the suppression of Tengfei, but unfortunately he couldn't hold on to the end, and Wang Qian and Tengfei broke up! Since Wang Qian's own Qianqian Jingting platform was launched, the song download record has been raised again and again by him! Now, the highest monthly download record has been raised by Wang Qian to a height of more than 70 million, and the single-day download record has been maintained by him at a terrifying data of more than 40 million.
This was unimaginable to anyone half a year ago.
As a result, when foreign statistical agencies saw such data, they simply ignored it and instinctively thought it was fake !
Wang Qian comes to North America!
Qin Xuerong knew that the North American pop music scene was about to usher in a new era! Although China's population was more than a billion, it was almost the same as the population of all European and American countries combined.
However, the consumption capacity of China's more than one billion people is still far less than that of the entire European and American markets. After all, most of the developed countries in the world are concentrated in Europe and the United States, and their consumption capacity is naturally not comparable to that of China, a developing country.
So! Qin Xuerong believed it.
For Wang Qian, these sales data on the list are just the beginning.
In theory.
In this market with greater consumption potential, Wang Qian should be able to create higher sales figures than when he was in China.
Qin Xuerong said: "Director Zhou called me this morning, but I saw you were still asleep, so I didn't answer."
Wang Qian nodded: "I know, I won't call him anymore. If there is anything, I will talk to him in person when I return to Los Angeles!"
Qin Xuerong: "Well, it shouldn't be anything important. However, Professor Taylor and Professor Dawson also called me, but I didn't answer."
Wang Qian frowned slightly, then said, "Taylor should be here when we go downstairs."
Wang Qian was worried that Curtis College might still want to keep him, which would be a bit troublesome for him to refuse.
The couple ate their meal quickly.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Qin Xuerong opened the door.
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, as well as Qin Xuehong, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen and others came together to help pack up.
Except for Qin Xuehong who said she wanted to stay in New York, everyone else would follow Wang Qian to Los Angeles.
Ru Ke whispered, "I checked the Internet in North America last night. It was all about Wang Qian. You're really popular here. Your popularity is no less than that in China."
Murong Yue is a pop music fan, and she said excitedly, "That's right. Have you seen the download data of Wang Qian's two works? This has broken the previous record of more than 40 million downloads in a week held by Christine. The monthly download record at that time was less than 60 million! We can definitely break them all."
"Too bad this isn't an album, otherwise it might have broken Kristen's album sales record!"
Kristen is known as the number one singer in the European and American pop music scene. This is not just talk, but the result of the sales of her albums and singles. She has suppressed all other superstars in the European and American music scene. Almost all the electronic music sales records that can be counted are now held by Kristen.
And with the momentum of Wang Qian's two songs now, if it were an album, it would be possible to break all the sales records held by Christine and put his own name on them.
This is absolutely incredible for a Chinese singer! No Chinese singer has ever done this, not even native Chinese singers in Europe and America have ever done this.
There has never been a Chinese singer who can break into the top ten of the Billboard chart.
Wang Qian's current achievements are already creating history in the pop music scene.
Jiang Yu was not that interested in these, but he still smiled when he saw the results, and said, "Director He originally said that she would go to Los Angeles with us to watch Wang Qian's performance before returning. However, the Central Conservatory of Music called and asked her to go back early, so they didn't stay."
Wang Qian nodded: "Of course domestic affairs are more important. Have they left?"
Jiang Yu: "Not yet, the flight is in the afternoon."
Wang Qian: "Then I'll go meet them later and say goodbye!"
Jiang Yu: "Sure, your teacher, Professor Huang Jun is here too."
Of course Wang Qian knew about this. He had a quick meeting and a few words with Huang Jun at the banquet yesterday. There were too many people there and he didn't have time to say much to his university professor, so it ended in a hurry.
If there is time, Wang Qian still wants to chat more with Professor Huang Jun.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, he still cares a lot about acting.
Qin Xuehong helped pack up absentmindedly, without saying a word.
Qin Xuerong took her sister's hand and said, "Sister, come with us to Los Angeles?"
Qin Xuehong smiled and said, "It's the same thing I saw on TV."
In fact, she had asked someone to get her a ticket for Wang Qian's performance next week, but her seat was in an inconspicuous corner at the back, not in a prominent position in the front row, to avoid being discovered by Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong.
Qin Xuerong did not persuade her any further.
It was getting late! They packed up their things and walked out of the hotel room.
And outside the corridor.
Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Maou Chiba were also carrying suitcases and standing there chatting, waiting for Wang Qian.
They all came here with Wang Qian, and of course they will go back to Los Angeles with Wang Qian.
The three of them looked at Wang Qian, who was like the moon surrounded by stars, and they all had different thoughts! Especially, Wang Qian was surrounded by goddesses who were both talented and beautiful.
This made Sophie feel a little pressured, but she still smiled and nodded to Wang Qian and the others as a greeting.
Miyuki Nakamori and Maou Chiba bowed slightly to Wang Qian, forcing Wang Qian to step forward to stop them. He didn't think he could bear their etiquette, which was too polite.
No chatting to waste time.
The group will get together and go downstairs.
And in the hall.
People from the three major music conservatories came to see Wang Qian off.
Also coming were Dawson and Kalman from the landlord Curtis College, and Hoffman.
Of course, Taylor and Annie will also be there as drivers.
Another round of greetings.
He Chaohui: "Professor Wang, I wish you good results in the Voice of China World Championship. However, you don't need to be too stressed. You don't need this championship to prove yourself now."
In He Chaohui's opinion, Wang Qian has proved his musical talent and strength to the world through this class. He has also received official recognition and support from the country. Even if he fails to win the Voice of China World Championship, it will not have a huge impact.
Yang Jiansen: "Professor Wang, Magic Sound is proud of you, and the entire Magic City is proud of you. Your songs, Magic City March and Magic City Rhapsody, have made Magic City famous throughout the world. I believe that the Magic City Organization and 20 million people will be proud of you."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, I can't take that responsibility. They are just the names of two songs. I was too lazy to come up with them, so I named them after my hometown."
Yang Jiansen smiled and said, "Then you can continue to stick to this habit in the future. I don't think the people of Magic City will mind."
Peng Donghu: "You don't mind, but we do! Professor Wang, don't forget about our West Lake City next time. We have the beautiful West Lake. Didn't you also write a poem for West Lake? Next time when you compose a song, think more about the scenery of our West Lake."
Wang Qian still smiled: "I'll try my best!"
Huang Jun and Wang Qian hugged each other gently and said, "Perhaps the proudest thing in my life is that I have been your teacher. Wang Qian, keep going. However, you have always emphasized that you are an actor, and I hope you can prove this to me in the future."
Wang Qian patted Huang Jun on the back and said solemnly: "Professor Huang, I will prove to you that I am an actor!"
The conversation between the two was heard clearly by people from several major music academies nearby, as well as Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Mao Chiba, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen and others. They all had strange expressions on their faces and wanted to laugh.
Wow! He broke the sales records of Chinese and European pop music markets, served as a professor at three major music schools in China, and was also a professor at the piano and orchestra departments of Curtis Institute. He was also invited by more than a dozen famous music schools in North America. He was a super music genius...
You actually want to prove that you are an actor? How do the singers and music producers in the Chinese and European and American music circles, as well as the professors and students of many famous Chinese and European and American music schools feel about this? Anyway...
He Chaohui, Peng Donghu and Yang Jiansen all wanted to take Huang Jun away immediately to prevent him from delaying Wang Qian and leading him astray.
The teacher and the student said goodbye to each other and then parted ways. Neither of them was the pretentious type.
Then Kalman from Curtis Institute came up and shook hands with Wang Qian, and said solemnly: "Professor Wang Qian, you are already a professor at our Curtis Institute, and you enjoy all the benefits and welfare. Although we promised not to give you any mandatory teaching tasks, we will do it. However, we hope that if you have time, you can still come to Curtis Institute to talk about your music. All the teachers and students in our institute are looking forward to it."
Wang Qian looked at Kalman and said seriously, "Thank you for the college's trust in me. I can't promise anything, but if I have time in the future and can come to North America, I will definitely come to the college."
Kalman nodded: "We will all look forward to seeing each other at the academy next time."
Hoffman said regretfully, "Professor Wang Qian, you are the most incredible musical genius I have ever seen. You have an amazing talent for the violin, but it's a pity that you haven't really taught us about the violin. I hope you can make up for it next time you come to Curtis."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Of course, next time I come to Curtis, I will prepare well and talk about violin."
Hoffman's eyes lit up: "I really hope we can start tomorrow!"
Wang Qian: "Sorry, it's not possible tomorrow!"
Xiaoxiao made a joke and the atmosphere between the few people became relaxed.
It's getting late.
Taylor and Annie went out and drove the car to the hotel entrance, blocking the fewer media outside, but still blocking the door tightly!
"Professor Wang Qian, your work broke the sales record. What do you want to say?"
"Professor Wang Qian, many singers have changed their song release schedules because of you. What do you want to say to them?"
"Professor Wang Qian..."
Wang Qian entered the car under the protection of security guards, Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, and ignored the questions from the media outside.
Taylor remained silent and drove quietly to the airport.
Watch Taylor drive away.
The people who came to see them off chatted with each other for a few words and then said goodbye and left.
…
In the evening!
A plane lands at Los Angeles Airport.
Hundreds of media outlets and self-media outlets have gathered outside the airport! Los Angeles is known as the center of the world's entertainment industry and the most developed place for the entertainment industry. Hundreds of media outlets can gather here at any time.
Zhou Qinghua, Cui Wenfeng, He Dongming and others who came to pick them up at the airport almost couldn't squeeze in.
