Chapter 324 323. Professor Wang, a change in status! Qian Qianjingting's amazing valuation. (Subscribe)
Tess was surprised when he received Sophie's call!
because.
Generally speaking.
Sophie would never call him as her agent.
Whenever there was anything, he would go to Sophie.
Although Sophie is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry, she is one of the biggest names in the agency. Not to mention the agent, even the company boss does not dare to force Sophie to do any job.
so.
Tess was very surprised when he received a call from Sophie: "Sophie..."
Sophie said quickly: "Come over to the hotel, I have a contract to sign."
Tess was surprised: "What contract?"
Sophie: "I cooperated with the Qianqian Jingting platform in China, and they bought the copyright of the works I performed in the Voice of China World Competition!"
Tess immediately asked, "Qianqian Jingting? I've heard of it. Is it Wang Qian's company?"
Sophie: “Yes!”
Tess quickly got into character: "How much did they offer? Yesterday, a Chinese platform called Tengfei contacted me and offered me 10 million US dollars and 80% of the revenue share. I didn't agree and am still considering it. I was just thinking about it with you."
Sophie said firmly: "You don't need to consider Tengfei. I will only cooperate with Qianqian Jingting. You can just come and sign the contract with me."
Tai Si wondered: "What conditions did Qian Qian Jing Ting give you?"
Sophie said casually: "I don't know yet..."
Tess was angry: "You agreed without knowing? Did they threaten you?"
Sophie: "No, I'm not threatened, but I don't want to cooperate with Tengfei. It's that simple. The specific price depends on how much they offer. It shouldn't be lower than Tengfei. Just come and sign on behalf of the company."
Sophie still had some legal knowledge. She knew that if she wanted to cooperate with Qianqian Jingting, she couldn't avoid the agency. If she signed a contract with Wang Qian alone without authorization, some legal disputes might arise. The agency might force a lawsuit to cancel the contract, although her insistence might be useful!
However, Sophie still didn't want to cause trouble for Wang Qian.
She knew that she was already at a disadvantage in the competition. If she caused more trouble for Wang Qian, Wang Qian might hate her! Tess: "Sophie, I can negotiate the contract. But are you sure you want to cooperate only with Qian Qian Jing Ting? If we don't have a choice, we might be at a disadvantage in the negotiation."
Sophie: "You can just negotiate. Just sign whatever contract they give you."
Tess was silent for two seconds, knowing that Sophie was about to act on impulse again, and said, "Sophie, you know, this may cost you tens of millions of dollars!"
Sophie: “So what?”
Tens of millions of dollars?
She didn't care.
She has never lacked money since she was a child, and someone has always prepared whatever she needs.
Since participating in The Voice of China, she has made a lot of money, which she simply deposited into her own account and basically never spent. Now she has tens of millions of dollars.
So, she had no concrete idea of tens of millions of dollars.
Tess knew there was no way to say this, the eldest lady was becoming willful again, so he could only say, "Okay, I'll come over. In the hotel?"
Sophie: “Yes!”
Hang up the phone!
Sophie tidied herself up a little, without too much dressing up, just took a shower, then put on some casual clothes and went out.
After signing the contract with Wang Qian, she is going to the recording studio to start practicing singing!
There are only two days left before her first competition! Hearing that Adam stayed out all night in the recording studio, Sophie felt a little stressed, but more excited and looking forward to it! Because!
The promise Wang Qian made to her in the morning.
If she could meet Wang Qian in the finals, he would agree to her reasonable request.
Having said that, it’s not an excessive request!
However, Sophie still regards this as her biggest goal and pursuit now.
She must enter the finals and meet Wang Qian.
She will defeat whoever stands in her way.
Even Adam and Elizabeth are no exception!
Rubbing her cheeks, Sophie felt more serious and eager about pop music than ever before. She turned around and walked out of the room with a heroic momentum.
Outside the room!
Miyuki Nakamori, Maou Chiba, and Elizabeth have all come out.
Elizabeth's agent and Miyuki Nakamori's mentor, Masahide Ito, both came.
There is also a witness from the program crew!
Zhou Qinghua also came over.
Obviously.
The program crew cannot ignore the cooperation between several popular contestants and the China Music Platform.
Although, they gave the copyright of China to the players.
However, China is now the second largest revenue region for The Voice of China World Championship and has the largest audience base.
They had to take it seriously! Fortunately, they all knew that Qianqian Jingting was now the most popular music download platform in China, and it was founded by Wang Qian. It had the highest level of attention in China, which was helpful for the contestants' publicity and popularity accumulation in China.
Therefore, the program team did not prevent this cooperation.
If it is a small platform, or Qianqian Jingting itself is a small platform, the program team will definitely forcibly stop this cooperation.
Xu Zhongfei has already sent over the formal contract.
Wang Qian got the contract and said to everyone, "Everyone, let's go to the conference room to talk. I have prepared the contract for you."
Zhou Qinghua came to Wang Qian and said, "Wang Qian, why didn't you contact the other contestants?"
Wang Qian whispered, "I contacted the players from Denmark and Brazil. They have already been hired by Tengfei and their contracts have been signed. I also contacted Adam's agent, and he said we should not discuss it for now and wait and see! As for Jonathan, you know he will never agree. I got the news that they are also talking to Tengfei, but the price will definitely not be too high!"
Zhou Qinghua: "The prices of the players ranked in the second half will not be too high. They will most likely be eliminated in the first round! Adam wants to wait until he proves himself in the first game before negotiating the price?"
Wang Qian nodded: "It should be! Although Adam is still the official number one player, his actual popularity and performance may only rank third or fourth!"
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Your Qianqian Jingting has won these three, which is already a great success. By the way, I heard that your Qianqian Jingting has plans to raise funds?"
Wang Qian looked at Zhou Qinghua with a little surprise. He had just talked with Qin Xuerong about future development plans last night.
Then Qin Xuerong called Xu Zhongfei in the morning and asked Xu Zhongfei to try to spread the news in China for a while! As a result, it hasn't been a while yet.
Zhou Qinghua knew the news.
It seems.
The news about Qianqian Jingting spread very quickly, which also shows that everyone is very concerned about the news about Qianqian Jingting.
Wang Qian did not comment on this, but just smiled slightly and said, "It's not decided yet!"
Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue, who were walking behind Wang Qian, all smiled when they heard this. They all knew that this was Qin Xuerong's plan, and Zhou Qinghua was the fish that had been hooked, but just a small fish.
Zhou Qinghua saw Wang Qian's expression and thought there was a chance, so he immediately said impatiently, "Professor Wang, we are old friends, right? I have taken good care of you since you participated in The Voice of China, right?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Of course, Director Zhou, you take good care of me."
Zhou Qinghua immediately put his arm around Wang Qian's shoulders and said, "Then if your Qian Qian Jing wants to raise funds, you must leave me a small share. I don't dare to compete with those big investors for shares. I just want a small share to be able to enter the market."
Wang Qian looked at Zhou Qinghua in surprise.
He thought Zhou Qinghua was asking for someone else, but unexpectedly, it was Zhou Qinghua himself?
Do you have so much money?
Seeing Wang Qian's eyes, Zhou Qinghua felt that he was being underestimated, and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about the money. If you can win this time, I will definitely get a large share of the money. Even if you don't win, I still have some shares in the Voice of China production company. Thanks to the success of the World Championship, these shares are also very valuable. I can invest some money in you, just don't think it's too little."
After hearing this, Zhou Qinghua was planning to invest all his savings in Wang Qian.
Wang Qian asked curiously, "Director Zhou is so optimistic about my company?"
Zhou Qinghua nodded, "Of course! I am an insider, but I still can't see the potential of Qianqian Jingting? As long as you don't mess around in the future and continue to develop like you are now, you can definitely surpass Tengfei. If it weren't for Tengfei's strong foundation and many old song copyrights, it would probably be driven out of business by you. I heard that several other small and medium-sized platforms are almost unable to hold on under the impact of Qianqian Jingting, and they may all go bankrupt within one or two years at most."
"Qianqian Jingting will definitely develop into the number one in the domestic music download market in the future. After it goes public, it will have huge potential. When you make a lot of money, just take me to have some soup."
Zhou Qinghua patted Wang Qian's shoulder again and said in a slightly flattering tone.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you Director Zhou for your confidence in me. However, it's still early for financing, we'll talk about it later."
Wang Qian didn't make any promise.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He will only raise funds once, and the purpose is not for money, but to attract some international big-name capital to pave the way for the future development of Qianqian Jingting!
Therefore, he will definitely ask for a very high price at that time, and it is not certain whether Zhou Qinghua can accept it.
Entrepreneurial financing has never been simply about money; the industry resources brought by capital are the most important.
This is why those big capitals can always invest in good projects. Even the price they offer may not be the highest. However, in order to develop quickly, many entrepreneurs can only choose these capitals that can provide them with industry resources! Entering the conference room! Sophie and Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori, Maou Chiba, Masahide Ito and others sat down one by one.
Wang Qian personally handed the contracts to them.
Sophie's contract is the same price as Tengfei's, 10 million US dollars, plus an 80% commission, which is basically an unprofitable contract. It can only avoid losses if sales are good. If sales are average, the 10 million US dollars in copyright fees will be lost. Perhaps over time, the investment can be earned back through long-term accumulated sales.
However, nowadays, being able to gain traffic is a victory, and the win or loss of a single contract is insignificant.
Miyuki Nakamori's contract has not changed, 5 million dollars and 7-fold profit sharing. Her popularity is not as good as Sophie's, so the price is lower! Elizabeth's popularity was originally on par with Sophie's! But now, Sophie's popularity has completely stabilized above Elizabeth. Many people are shocked by Wang Qian's talent and strength. They are extremely concerned about Sophie, who has also achieved success in both classical and popular fields, and look forward to Sophie bringing them surprises.
Therefore, Elizabeth's price is not as high as Sophie's, which is 8 million US dollars plus a 70% commission.
Elizabeth's agent wanted to negotiate when he saw the price, but Elizabeth was very satisfied with it and held the agent's hand to ask him to accept it. The agent did not say anything more to indicate that he could accept it. The price was indeed very sincere, and he just instinctively wanted to negotiate more!
Sophie's agent Tess took a look at the contract and looked at Wang Qian with a little surprise. He thought that Wang Qian might have tricked Sophie into giving him a lower price, but he didn't expect that this contract did not put Sophie at a disadvantage!
Theis is very satisfied with this contract! But...
Sophie looked at Wang Qian and said, "Professor Wang Qian, I think you have given me too much."
Everyone looked at Sophie in surprise.
Is there anyone who thinks the money is too much?
Moreover, Sophie called Wang Qian Professor, which was also a public recognition.
This has special meaning on the Voice stage.
If the contestants publicly acknowledged Wang Qian's identity as Professor Curtis, then the other nine contestants would be one generation lower than Wang Qian.
Tess touched Sophie's arm to silence her.
Sophie looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian looked at Sophie's slightly stubborn eyes and said, "Sophie, this price is very sincere!"
Sophie saw Wang Qian's eyes and stopped talking.
She wanted a lower price so that Wang Qian would feel that he owed her something.
But if Wang Qian didn't agree, she couldn't ask for less in front of so many people...
Wang Qian looked at everyone and said, "If everyone has no problem with this, you can sign it. We will pay the copyright fee within 24 hours! At the same time, we will list your work on the Qianqian Jingting platform."
Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori, and Sophie all silently wrote their names on the contract.
There was no grand ceremony! The production crew did not intervene, they were just there to witness and confirm.
Finish.
Sophie stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Qian. She squeezed Wang Qian's fingers hard, then smiled and nodded to Qin Xuerong and the others, and left with her agent: "Is the recording studio ready?"
Tess nodded. "It's arranged. You can use it anytime you want."
The two left.
Elizabeth also came forward and shook hands with Wang Qian, and said softly: "Professor Wang Qian, I learned a lot from your class. I was influenced by you when I was creating these days. Thank you."
Elizabeth also continued to address Wang Qian as Sophie had just done, calling him Professor Wang Qian!
Although, she did learn a lot of Wang Qian’s musical concepts and creative style!
However, if she was asked to call a contestant of the same age on the same stage "professor", it would still be difficult for her to do so.
Unless someone else called her that first! Then, she would have no choice but to follow suit.
After all, everyone knew that Wang Qian had the ability to get such a title, and he also had such an identity, being a professor at Curtis College! Calling him a professor was not excessive.
Wang Qian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, that's the result of your own hard work. Come on!"
Elizabeth nodded heavily, then smiled and nodded at Qin Xuerong and the others, then left with her agent.
Miyuki Nakamori and Maou Chiba also came to Wang Qian.
Qianyu Zhenzhu looked at Wang Qian and said, "Professor Wang, does your company want my work from the island country? I want to make some money too!"
Wang Qian looked at the Qianyu Pearl, his eyes lit up, and said, "Of course, but the price may be a bit low."
Qianyu Zhenzhu smiled: "As long as there is money to be made."
Wang Qian agreed: "No problem, I'll find you to sign the contract tomorrow!"
Qianyu Zhenzhu still looked at Wang Qian with a smile: "Okay!"
After completing the signing and getting Qianyu Zhenzhu to join, Wang Qian was in a good mood.
Saw everyone off.
Wang Qian immediately contacted Xu Zhongfei, paid the copyright fee as soon as possible, and then arranged for the song to be put on the shelves, while also doing some external publicity.
Because the Voice of China International Competition is broadcast live in the country!
Therefore, contestants like Sophie, Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori and others, who have world-class looks and talents, are extremely popular in China, even surpassing Adam, the official number one contestant!
And because Miyuki Nakamori is Asian, her popularity in China is second only to Wang Qian, and is above Sophie and Elizabeth. Next is Sophie, and then Elizabeth. Adam's popularity in China is even lower than Elizabeth.
after all!
Most Chinese audiences can't understand the English songs that everyone sings, so they can only look at their looks and voices! In comparison, Miyuki Nakamori and Sophie's looks are definitely world-class, while Elizabeth is a little more ordinary.
And Adam is a man after all...
Moreover, everyone can see that Adam's talent is still some distance away from Miyuki Nakamori, Sophie, and Elizabeth.
Before, many people may not have taken this seriously, after all, it’s just a talent show!
However, now with the emergence of Wang Qian and Curtis’ lectures, almost all the audience have begun to pay attention to the contestants’ talents, strengths, and so on!
The participation of Sophie, Elizabeth, and Miyuki Nakamori in the promotion is also a significant bonus for Qianqian Jingting.
but.
The first thing Xu Zhongfei said to Wang Qian excitedly after receiving the call was, "Professor Wang, a venture capitalist contacted me and gave a valuation of 35 billion. They want to invest 5 billion and hold 15% of the shares!"
