Chapter 365 364. Breaking the Billion, Breaking the Billion, Breaking the Billion, and Breaking the Billion! He is looking down on the world music scene! (Subscribe)

The Los Angeles Times published an article: "Los Angeles has never been crazy about a Chinese singer for a week! The North American entertainment industry has never been robbed of attention by a Chinese singer for such a long time."

…

The Hollywood Times also reported: "Because of him, blockbuster movies with an investment of $300 million have become dim. Because of him, no one is paying attention to this year's Oscars. Who knows who and which films are on the Oscar nomination list? No one is interested anymore."

…

North American Pop Music News: "Some people say this week is the darkest time for the North American pop music industry. Others say it is a turning point for world pop music! Many of our singers and musicians dare not look directly at the three long numbers on the charts, and many people are reluctant to mention his name."

…

The New York Times was not polite. It put a picture on the cover showing three songs and their corresponding weekly sales and rankings: "Los Angeles, known as the world's entertainment center, has been conquered by a Chinese singer. A Chinese singer has stood at the pinnacle of pop music, and he is looking down on the world's pop music scene."

…

Music Weekly: "Next week, the number of singers releasing songs in the world will increase significantly. This will be a battle between Wang Qian and dozens of singers in the European and American music scene. We have learned that in order to cope with this battle, Christine has been concentrating on creating and producing new songs at home. Robert overturned the new songs that had been recorded before and re-recorded them several times. Xia cooperated with top producer West..."

"This is a pop music event that we haven't seen in many years. Perhaps, as many people have said, we should thank Wang Qian, the talent show singer from China. It is because of him that the world music scene has become extremely active. Many outstanding singers are releasing songs together, which will give birth to a large number of excellent works, and perhaps accelerate the development of world pop music. At the same time, it has also led the whole world to pay attention to pop music, which will also attract more people to pay to download songs, which can expand the entire pop music market. This is a kind of healthy competition..."

"Of course, I am looking forward to what Wang Qian will perform on the Voice stage tonight."

…

Various entertainment media in North America reported on the incident and interviewed some top musicians and singers, attracting a lot of attention.

Unfortunately, many people wanted to interview Wang Qian and Christine, but were unsuccessful.

Kristen even postponed the time she had agreed with her agent to record a new song, just to write down all her ideas in one go.

Christine looked at the dozens of pages of writing in her notebook and the dozens of clips of herself singing and playing the guitar recorded on her mobile phone, and she felt very satisfied.

I have completed two works, and if I organize the remaining ideas, I can create at least three more works.

After another half month of seclusion, I will create five more pieces of work with the inspiration accumulated in my mind, and then I can release an album...

With a sense of accomplishment in her heart, Christine played her first a cappella song on her mobile phone. She was very satisfied and then looked at what happened in the pop music circle that week.

Billboard! Without a doubt.

The first three works are Wang Qian’s three rock singles.

Numbers 4 and 5 were both singles for Elizabeth.

What’s scary is that Wang Qian’s single “Its My Life”, which has been out for three weeks, is still in the top ten this week and is currently ranked 10th! This is not the off-season for releasing songs.

Rather, it is the peak season for good songs among the contestants of The Voice of China. Even many big-name singers have postponed the release of songs some time ago, as they dare not go head-to-head with these extremely talented and powerful contestants.

The single sung by Wang Qian at the opening performance is still ranked in the top ten and has received more than 20 to nearly 30 million downloads in a single week. The total number of downloads has exceeded 100 million, which is also a big event that shocked many European and American music scenes.

It took only three weeks for the single to be downloaded over 100 million times, which also broke the previous record of the fastest downloads exceeding 100 million in the European and American pop music scene, and will definitely break the record for first-month downloads.

It seems that all records in the pop music scene will be broken by Wang Qian.

And these records were almost all held by Christine before.

This is also an important reason why more and more big-name singers from all over the world have united to target Wang Qian.

No one wants to never be able to break Wang Qian's record in the future, especially since Wang Qian is a Chinese singer. They are even more unwilling to see Wang Qian stand too high.

The piano piece "Magic City Rhapsody" performed by Wang Qian at the opening performance did not have as amazing sales this week as "Its My Life". It only achieved sales of tens of millions in a single week, ranking behind the top 20, but the total sales also exceeded 100 million, which also broke many records.

Such as the piano piece that broke 100 million downloads the fastest, the piano piece with the highest sales in three weeks, etc., which created a miracle in piano piece sales and gave many classical piano musicians hope!

After reading these two pieces, Christine once again admired the appeal of Wang Qian's works.

but……

She knew that the records of these two works might be broken again by Wang Qian.

because……

The sales momentum of the first three singles is even stronger! The number one single, Back in Black, has already accumulated sales of 130 million this week!

Christine felt a little dizzy looking at the numbers.

This is not the cumulative sales volume for one year, or even one month.

This is just one week’s cumulative sales, and it’s Sunday morning now, so strictly speaking it’s only six days’ sales…

Who can stop this sales volume? Kristen didn't care about winning or losing in terms of sales volume, but deep down in her heart, she had the idea of ​​challenging Wang Qian. This was her desire to defeat her teacher and prove herself as a student.

But that's not all! Christine saw clearly.

Wang Qian's three singles took the top three spots, and incredibly, all three singles sold over 100 million units at the same time! The second-ranked "Breams" also sold over 109 million units in a week! The third-ranked "She Is My Sin" also just passed the 100 million unit mark, reaching over 101 million units.

call……

In six days, the sales of all three singles exceeded 100 million.

Kristen let out a long breath and calmed herself down, but her eyes were still full of admiration, and she murmured in a low voice: "This is incredible."

Elizabeth, who ranks fourth, has sales of more than 50 million so far. Such a result is absolutely explosive for a newcomer. In the past, it would definitely set off the entire European and American pop music scene, and she would definitely be awarded the Grammy Award for Best Newcomer of the Year. At least she would be nominated for Best Single. In the future, she will definitely achieve the status of a queen, and fame and fortune will come rolling in.

But now, such results can only rank her fourth, not even in the top three, and she is beaten by the top three at the same time. Almost no one pays attention to her, and even the media mentioning her are almost invisible, as if such results are not worth mentioning.

The previous record of Wang Qian's "Its My Life" to reach 100 million downloads the fastest was broken by Wang Qian's other three rock singles at the same time.

Back in black broke the record for the fastest sales of over 100 million downloads in just two and a half days!

Sales exceeded 100 million in just three days.

Christine could also understand why those singers and musicians were so silent now.

In the face of this sales volume...

They have no other choice, and calls for boycott seem powerless.

In particular, Wang Qian did not respond to them and basically ignored them.

The only way is to bring out the best work to compete head-on with Wang Qian's next work, and use the most direct sales data to surpass Wang Qian and prove yourself!

Christine looked through the news on the social media platform.

Not only the North American music scene, but the entire European and American music scene has become much quieter.

Only some second- and third-tier singers who are trying to ride on the popularity are still very active. The other superstars and first-tier big-name singers remain silent, secretly holding back their energy, waiting for the moment to explode.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Christine's phone rang.

It was my agent, Sharon, calling.

Christine answered immediately: "Sharon."

Sharon said anxiously, "Chris, God, I finally got in touch with you. You are going to release a song tomorrow, and you haven't recorded it yet. The recording studio has been reserved for you, and you can come over anytime."

Sharon had no intention of delaying Kristen's release date.

Because, given Kristen's status and position, if the release date is postponed, it will be over-interpreted by many people and will affect her image.

After all, now Kristen is the most powerful force for many people to snipe Wang Qian.

If Kristen postponed the release of the song at this time, many people would think that Kristen was afraid and scared away by Wang Qian's terrifying sales.

So! No matter what.

Sharon hopes that Kristen can release the song as scheduled.

Just tomorrow.

It will be released together with Wang Qian’s performance tonight.

Kristen leaned back on the sofa, her face looking very calm as she said, "Sharon, don't worry. I'm going to record the song right away, and I'm going to Staples Center to watch a show tonight."

Sharon was surprised: "Do we still need to go to see Wang Qian's performance? But what if the recording doesn't go well?"

How do you finish a song in half a day?

There is no composition yet!

I haven't found the accompaniment music yet...

Even if you have accomplished all of this.

Then you should ask the producer of the record company and discuss it, right?

Shouldn't I be busy all night? Christine smiled and said, "Don't worry, my work this time doesn't need to be that complicated. I alone will be enough..."

Sharon: “Are you alone?”

Christine said confidently: "Yes, I can do it alone with just a guitar and my voice. It only takes five minutes to complete it! Believe me..."

Sharon's eyes widened. "Retro country?"

Sharon immediately thought of the country music that was popular in the world decades ago. At that time, country singers could perform an entire show with just a guitar.

There's not that complex a score, not that many instruments.

Just a guitar and my voice.

At that time it was known as the purest music and the purest singing.

But that was half a century ago.

Can people still accept this kind of music now?

Kristen: “Uh-huh, you guessed it right.”

Sharon was stunned and silent for a few seconds. Her breathing became rapid. Then she said nervously, "But, Chris, the whole world is looking forward to your new work. Would you like to think about it carefully? Don't worry about not being able to find people to compose the music. The whole company can fully cooperate with you. As long as you need, I can invite any top producer and music team to you within an hour."

Now, because of Wang Qian, Los Angeles has gathered almost all of the top singers and musicians in the European and American pop music scene.

If Christine asked, Sharon could use Christine's name and the company's financial resources to invite any top musician in Los Angeles to collaborate.

Almost no top musician would refuse such an opportunity, not only the chance to work with Christine, but also the chance to defeat Wang Qian, attract the attention of the world, and go down in history.

Christine said calmly, "Sharon! You don't understand my music, so you just need to cooperate with me. Send a car to pick me up now, and I'll go to the studio to finish recording this song right away."

Sharon could hear Christine's dissatisfaction, so she stopped talking and chose to trust Christine. She immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll drive over to pick you up in person!"

Christine: “Okay, I’ll wait for you!”

Hang up the phone.

There was a glimmer of confidence in Christine's eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Looking at Wang Qian's three works, she remained confident.

Even so, the sales of Wang Qian’s three works were so explosive.

She also did not lose faith in her music.

Wang Qian can conquer the world with retro rock!

She can also use retro country music to awaken everyone's memories of country music.

This is what she has learned from studying Wang Qian’s courses and the core of music during this period.

What you want is the most beautiful thing.

Simple retro country music is just the beginning of her album! As for the winner...

That was not Christine's intention.

…

The weekend performances are about to begin.

All the Voice of China contestants except Wang Qian were a little nervous.

Not only the last group of contestants, but also Miyuki Nakamori and Asan were quite nervous.

The other contestants were equally nervous.

The eliminated contestants want to seize this opportunity to perform on stage again and further accumulate popularity for their next official debut.

Contestants like Adam, Elizabeth and Sophie who still have dreams also want to try more music genres in this performance without the pressure of winning or losing, and try to see if they can achieve greater success and accumulate experience for the next official competition.

Wang Qian was the most relaxed. He even gave the band a half-day break this morning and only needed to go to the venue in the afternoon to practice his movements.

Adam and Elizabeth, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and contestant Asan were the busiest and were hardly seen anywhere.

Adam even stayed in the studio for several days, discussing music with Winston and another producer, Cassia, who is good at rap! Adam does have a good creative talent, and he worked with two top producers to create a new rap song!

and……

After Adam asked the organizer, he got permission to invite a guest to help sing!

Because this does not involve any win or loss ranking and is just a performance, the program team agreed to this request. However, the program team set a minimum threshold for the guests' status, which is that they must be at least first-line stars and must be professional singers, not actors.

A tall and beautiful woman with healthy wheat-colored skin is practicing singing with Adam in the recording studio.

Outside the door, Winston and Cassia watched the two people singing carefully.

Cassia exclaimed with enjoyment on her face: "God, it's such a pleasure to listen to them singing. Sheena's unique voice and explosive power, combined with Adam's voice, plus the perfect combination of this song! I can't think of anyone else's performance that would be more perfect than theirs..."

Winston also had a serious and thoughtful look on his face, and disagreed with Cassia's evaluation.

Because Cassia is passionate about rap, she naturally likes rap works and singers more and has higher evaluations of them, but she is not so interested in rock music.

This biased evaluation is not objective.

But Winston had to admit it.

Now Adam and Sheena's collaboration is truly a match made in heaven.

This song is also an excellent work among rap songs.

Sheena is currently one of the top singers in the North American music scene. She debuted for five years and released three albums, with sales ranking around tenth in the year. She has had two number one singles, and all she lacks is a number one album of the year or a Grammy Award to prove her status as a queen.

This collaboration with Adam is also an opportunity for Xi Na! Of course, the two actually belong to the same record company, so they have the opportunity to work together.

The song ended! The two walked out of the recording studio with a smile on their faces.

Cassia clapped her hands: "It's great, but there is still too little interaction between you, and it's not natural enough. This song is a more inspirational emotional song, which requires you to interact and have more abundant emotional collisions..."

Adam nodded: "Okay, I'll keep trying, Sheena, let's do it again?"

Xina also respected Cassia's opinion and nodded: "Okay, let's do it again!"

There is not much time left until the evening performance.

They now have to seize the time to practice and strive to be in the best condition to perform on the stage.

Winston didn't say anything. He was not good at rap and only occasionally gave some suggestions on singing style.

…

Elizabeth felt very shocked.

Over 50 million sales in a single week! It only ranked fourth, and no one paid attention to it.

Even the more than 50 million people who downloaded her songs rarely mentioned her or her works.

In the past, this was a sales performance that could have won him the title of King or Queen...

Elizabeth has been very enthusiastic these days and has been spending every day in the recording studio.

Weekend night shows.

She wants to prove herself once again.

…

Sophie's life also became monotonous and regular.

Record songs, play the piano, go back to the hotel and wait in the corridor for a while, then go back to the room to rest.

She would be happy for two days if she could wait for Wang Qian.

Unable to wait, she devoted herself even more wholeheartedly to the world of music.

Wang Qian, and music!

It has become everything in her heart.

In the evening performance, she also wanted to prove that she was the person closest to Wang Qian.

Everyone else! None of them are worthy of being under Wang Qian.

…

Miyuki Nakamori has been spending the past few days in the recording studio with Maou Chiba, talking about music, creation, Wang Qian and the incredible sales.

Both of them admired Wang Qian even more.

Miyuki Nakamori said to Maou Chiba: "It's time to prove my music! I shouldn't be ignored."

Miyuki Nakamori is almost an invisible person now. Except in the island country, the media and audiences in other places have not mentioned her at all. She also wants to prove the value of her existence.

Qianyu Zhenzhu nodded, feeling a little envious. She was envious that Miyuki Nakamori had the opportunity to stand on the world stage and prove herself to Wang Qian and the world.

Unfortunately, she missed this opportunity.

…

Wang Qian may be the easiest contestant.

There is no rehearsal today.

I stayed in the hotel all morning and had a good rest.

Go online, chat with Qin Xuerong, and respond to news from home.

Wang Qian is still very surprised by the sales of Huaxia Qianqian Jingting! The domestic support is really great.

Single-week sales have always remained higher than those in Europe and the United States.

Although the excess is not much, but being able to exceed is a victory.

Wang Qian was very satisfied!
