Chapter 366 365. The world's number one singer? The first appearance is the focus! (Subscribe)

Consumption division of the pop music market.

For a long time, everyone has assumed that the Chinese market is not as good as the European and American markets.

Because they are developed countries, they have high incomes, strong awareness of legitimate consumption, comprehensive copyright protection, etc. There has always been a ceiling in the domestic legitimate music download market.

The total sales volume of around 100 million is almost the ceiling, because there are only so many users willing to pay to download genuine products, and the number will not increase much even if time goes on, and other people are not willing to spend money to download electronic music.

Wang Qian had published his works on Qianqian Jingting for half a year, and now the cumulative sales are just over 100 million.

However, the sales of these old works have begun to increase significantly recently because there are many new users who choose to download all of Wang Qian's works to support him.

certainly……

None of these can compare to the surprise that the sales of these three new works have brought to Wang Qian.

Wang Qian and many other domestic musicians thought that the first-day sales of Qianqian Jingting were its peak, and that the subsequent growth rate would definitely drop precipitously and be quickly overtaken by sales in Europe and the United States.

Everyone has become accustomed to this.

After all, the size of the domestic genuine market is so small, far less than the European and American markets.

But the reality was beyond everyone's expectations.

The download volume of the three English rock songs on Qianqian Jingting has actually been steadily suppressing the sales in the European and American markets, and has remained so until the end of this week.

The best-selling song "She Is My Sin" has sold over 140 million units to date, which is nearly 10 million more than the best-selling song "Back in Black" in European and American markets.

The second-largest seller, Dreams, also had sales of 130 million, which is almost the same as the highest-selling product in the European and American markets.

The sales of back in black, which ranked third, also reached 110 million!

The sales of the three singles in the Chinese market all exceeded 100 million, and set a single-week download record in the Chinese music market, the fastest record to break 100 million, and other sales records.

To quote Xue Man’s comment on Weibo, “Professor Wang has once again single-handedly raised the ceiling of the Chinese music market and expanded the consumption capacity of the entire market. He has also raised the awareness of the Chinese people in consuming legitimate music, which is a great boon to the development of the entire Chinese music market.”

"I have a feeling that pop music will see a major development, and this is what Professor Wang is bringing."

"Professor Wang not only brought a new direction for the development of pop music, but also helped all musicians expand the market. It is no exaggeration to say that Professor Wang is the leader and pioneer of all practitioners in the Chinese pop music scene."

"And now Professor Wang is doing the same thing in the European and American pop music market. His several performances in Los Angeles have completely activated the consumer desire of the entire European and American pop music market. He has brought everyone back to the 1960s and 1970s, an era of scarcity of entertainment, the golden age of pop music development, an era when everyone would buy genuine albums and would definitely like a few singers and bands."

"Professor Wang's performance has also stimulated the creative desires of all top singers and musicians in the European and American music scene. As a result, the European and American pop music scene will enter a period of rapid development."

"To sum it up, Professor Wang has single-handedly activated the global pop music scene, enhanced the market vitality and potential, and made a big step forward in the development of global pop music."

"Since the birth of pop music, hundreds of years have passed, and no one has ever been able to do this on their own."

"Only Professor Wang has done it. And Professor Wang is from China!"

This comment that Xue Man posted yesterday has been on the hot list of Weibo for more than a day, with more than 50 million likes and reposts, and tens of millions of comments. Almost everyone who is online has participated in the discussion.

Everyone who saw Xue Man’s comment felt extremely proud and honored.

In the entertainment industry, no one in Chinese history has ever been able to influence the development of the world's entertainment industry...

Now, Wang Qian has appeared and has done just that, influencing the development of the world pop music scene.

This has indeed made almost everyone in China feel a sense of national cultural confidence.

This article was even reprinted by some European and American media, and the number of readers was very high.

Many more rational and objective media outlets agreed with Xue Man’s statement.

because……

Data doesn’t lie.

Since Wang Qian released his songs in Los Angeles, he has influenced the entertainment methods of more than one billion people around the world, making them choose to listen to music among many other entertainment methods! This is a rare thing in the new era with so many entertainment methods.

In the 1960s and 1970s, people had very few ways of entertainment, just listening to music, watching TV, reading books and watching movies. Most people did not choose these options, but wanted all of them.

Therefore, the sales of physical albums in the European and American music scene at that time were very terrifying, with annual sales of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. The income, influence, and status in the entertainment industry of top superstars were even higher than those of film and television stars.

At that time, almost everyone would buy their favorite genuine albums, and everyone would have a few favorite singers or bands.

Nowadays, there are so many ways to entertain yourself.

Playing games, computer games, stand-alone games, watching videos, shooting videos, watching variety shows, watching TV, watching movies, listening to music, reading novels, etc.... almost countless entertainment options.

Music is just one of the insignificant categories.

Therefore, the influence and sales of pop music have been declining year by year. Now it has dropped by much compared with decades ago. The status and influence of pop kings and queens are also far less than they were decades ago, and they are half a level lower than movie and television stars.

If electronic music had not greatly reduced the cost of producing and releasing albums, many second- and third-tier singers might have been unemployed because their sales would have caused record companies to lose money.

However, in the past half month or so.

Statistics show that sales in the entire European and American pop music market are constantly increasing, and sales of most new songs are also increasing, constantly breaking previous download records, and the number of active consumers is constantly increasing.

Many people who have not bought an album for a long time chose to pay to download new songs by Wang Qian and other Voice of China contestants.

Many people who have never been interested in pop music as a form of entertainment have suddenly become interested in listening to music and have started to constantly recharge and download their favorite songs...

This week, Wang Qian once again set a new weekly download record, with three singles simultaneously exceeding 100 million in sales in a single week, further activating the entire European and American music market.

Moreover, because some top singers in the pop music scene in North America and Europe have collectively released songs to attack Wang Qian, this has further stimulated the interest of more people in pop music...

This is what a certain North American media outlet calls healthy competition.

This is also one of the most important reasons why more and more singers are joining in, just to get a piece of the pie.

This is also the reason why the voices criticizing and insulting Wang Qian have become fewer and fewer, and have almost disappeared now.

because!

All pop music professionals with eyes and brains can see it.

Wang Qian is helping them make their bowls bigger, so that they can eat more and eat more easily in the future...

The market is bigger and everyone benefits.

So! Many music media in North America praised Wang Qian.

However, Wang Qian’s sales record is truly incredible, leaving many people with no hope of surpassing it.

Therefore, the voices boycotting him still exist, but they are much smaller.

Wang Qian did not respond to this, but just quietly made his own music and practiced with the band.

I looked at the sales of Qianqian Jingting...

Qin Xuerong said to Wang Qian, "Lao Xu reported to me that Qianqian Jingting added nearly 60 million new users this week, and the paying rate is over 90%. The number of paying users of our Qianqian Jingting platform has now reached 200 million, and we are definitely the leader in the domestic music download market."

The total number of paying users is only about 200 million, but 14 million of them support Wang Qian, which shows the strength of support from the Chinese people for Wang Qian.

The number of paying users and potential users in the European and American pop music market far exceeds 200 million. There are hundreds of millions of paying users in North America alone. Together with other countries and regions, the number of paying users is at least over one billion. However, Wang Qian's Back in Black has only achieved 130 million download sales so far.

Therefore, there is actually greater potential to be tapped in the European and American markets.

Wang Qian hummed and said, "Tell him to continue attracting new users. The time I'm participating in the World Championship may be the peak period for our platform to attract new users. Make good use of this time, as it may be difficult to encounter such an opportunity again in the future."

Qin Xuerong: "They also know that various recharge cashback activities have been carried out, but they are also relatively restrained and do not give away too much. The platform has now accumulated a large amount of cash flow, nearly 10 billion. I asked them to keep it for the time being, you may need it in the future."

Wang Qian nodded: "Indeed, when I return to China, there will be many places where I will need money."

Xuehong Entertainment Company is about to take over, and will definitely have to inject funds to develop new projects.

Haidilao also needs to develop. If there is cash, it will borrow as little as possible...

While looking at the list and some news, the two chatted in low voices about future development plans.

Time flies...

After the couple had lunch, they received a call from Zhou Qinghua.

It's time to go to the Staples Center for the final rehearsal. The production team is ready and is just waiting for the contestants to have the final round of rehearsals, and then the live performance tonight will officially start.

Wang Qian immediately gathered the band members.

Set off……

Everyone gather in the hotel lobby!

Jiang Yu has been getting more and more devoted to playing rock music recently, and has begun to accept some of Murong Yue's ideas. The two of them were dressed the same today, both in college style, wearing white shirts and black A-line skirts, thick black stockings, and thick down jackets on the outside, with some anticipation and excitement on their faces.

Juliet was not influenced by Murong Yue and still insisted on her own style. She dressed very casually, but she also wore a shirt on the upper body and a simple pair of jeans on the lower body, which perfectly set off her long legs.

The three of them standing together were a beautiful sight. Many media outside leaned on the glass door and took pictures of the three of them crazily.

Zhao Wei and He Fulin are still as low-key and mature as ever, and are the steady leaders of the band.

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong appear.

Several people gathered around.

Because Jiang Yu's dress style was different from before, he seemed a little restrained and shy. He didn't dare to look at Wang Qian's eyes and was a little evasive, but there was still expectation in his eyes.

Wang Qian looked at Jiang Yu and said with a smile: "Wow, Jiang Jiang surprised me today, she is so beautiful."

Jiang Yu smiled happily. The expectation in her eyes became reality, which made her even happier and more shy. She lowered her head and smiled, "It's okay. I just put on a set of clothes casually."

Murong Yue put her arm around Jiang Yu's shoulders and said, "I chose this for Jiang Jiang. This is my sister outfit. We are going to dominate the stage together."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Qian ruffled Murong Yue's twin ponytails, walked out first, and said, "Then I'll see how you perform."

Murong Yue muttered: "Today you are the protagonist, and we are just the foils..."

Wang Qian: "You love to show off so much, I'm optimistic about you."

Murong Yue smiled and said, "Then I will steal the spotlight!"

Wang Qian: "If you can steal the spotlight, then do it. That's your ability."

Murong Yue turned to look at the others: "You all heard it, this is what Professor Wang said himself, so I won't be polite."

Everyone smiled easily.

Juliet looked at the scene with some envy and scratched her ponytail.

Wang Qian smiled and put his hand on Juliet's head, ruffled her golden ponytail, and said, "And you, Juliet, you can also steal the spotlight."

Juliet smiled sweetly: "I just need to do my own thing."

A group of people walked out of the hotel.

The program crew's car had already parked here, and more than a dozen security guards were maintaining order, keeping countless media reporters out.

As soon as Wang Qian and his companions appeared, the flash lights never stopped flashing.

The dense crowd of reporters fought with the security guards, loudly asking their questions to Wang Qian, eager to get a response from Wang Qian.

Various problems are also very common on social platforms nowadays.

"Wang Qian, what do you think about Christine declaring war on you? Do you think you can defeat Christine?"

"Wang Qian, Robert said he would defeat you personally to defend the honor of the North American music scene. Do you think you can defeat Robert?"

"Wang Qian, your three singles all sold over 100 million copies in a single week, setting an incredible record. Do you think you are now the best singer in the world?"

"Wang Qian..."

All kinds of problems come!

Wang Qian ignored them and stepped into the car under the escort of Zhao Wei and He Fulin.

Then, Qin Xuerong and the others quickly got into the car.

The car started immediately and drove to the Staples Center.

Murong Yue looked at the dense crowd of reporters outside and said, "With three singles selling over 100 million yuan in a single week, you must be the best in the world! It's because you haven't officially released an album, Professor Wang, otherwise they wouldn't dare to bully you. Before you debuted and released an album, they treated you as a newcomer and didn't recognize your status and strength at all."

"Next time you release an album and the sales are still so explosive, then you will be the world's number one singer, and no one will be able to object. The Grammy Awards will also immediately recruit you, and various Best Singer and Best Album awards will be given to you!"

Murong Yue graduated from Berklee and is very familiar with North American pop music, and her tone was very confident.

If you can’t defeat them, recruit them!

This is also the consistent practice of the Oscars and Grammys.

As long as it can bring them fame, ratings and profits, that's enough.

After all, these two awards are commercial operations and the purpose is to make money.

Wang Qian didn't say anything, but he had already started planning his new album in his mind.

The car soon arrived at the Staples Center.

There were more media gathered here than at the hotel, it was almost packed with people.

Moreover, there were already two cars entering the venue, belonging to two contestants.

Two people got out of the first car.

It was Adam and Sheena.

The cooperation between the two is supported by a professional team, so in front of so many media, they need to make a good appearance so that the team can operate and hype it up. So the two just stood there and started interacting with the media.

The second car belongs to Miyuki Nakamori.

Miyuki Nakamori and Maou Chiba got out of the car together and walked straight inside without stopping, ignoring all the media!

Then……

Wang Qian's car also drove in.

When Wang Qian led everyone out of the car.

Adam and Sheena are still giving interviews to the media.

but.

When I saw Wang Qian appear.

All the media were in an uproar in an instant, and all the media who had just surrounded Adam and Xina to interview and ask questions rushed towards Wang Qian.

Both Adam and Sheena looked a little embarrassed.

However, Adam has gotten used to it. In the beginning, he thought he was the chosen one and the center of the world, but after experiencing several beatings from society, he faced the reality.

But it was the first time for Xina to encounter this, so she felt a little embarrassed and unable to adapt.

Adam whispered, "It's okay. He always attracts everyone's attention whenever he appears. Let's go in first. Let's work together tonight and strive to become the most attractive focus."

Xina looked at Wang Qian. This was her first time seeing Wang Qian up close. At first glance, he didn’t seem to have anything special, but he looked very confident and mature.

Didn't think much about it.

Sheena and Adam both turned and walked into the venue together.

Wang Qian was surrounded by some media.

These media took photos crazily and wanted to ask questions.

start……

At this time.

Among the crowd of onlookers outside, many people sang the lyrics together.

"back in black..."

moment!

The scene became restless.
