Chapter 374 373. Over $200 million in revenue in a single week? No wonder the music world around the world is so anxious! (Subscribe)

The production team did not let the contestants who advanced to the second round draw lots to choose their opponents at the end of the performance tonight.

Instead, a small show has been arranged for tomorrow night, inviting five contestants who have advanced to the second round to participate in a live interview program on TV, and then a draw will be held on the spot to decide who will be the four contestants performing next week.

It can be said that...

In order to boost the popularity of the contestants, the program team used almost every legitimate means they could.

Producing a program temporarily can also gain a wave of ratings.

Because the order of performances next week will be decided by drawing lots, the ratings will definitely not be low.

When Wang Qian learned about the program team's arrangements, he didn't say anything.

After all, this is a legitimate arrangement made by others, and temporarily participating in an interview program will not take up much time.

The show just ended.

Zhou Qinghua brought Oni to Wang Qian's lounge.

When Wang Qian saw the two people standing at the door, he gave some instructions to Qin Xuerong and the others and went out.

Oni took the initiative to extend his hand to Wang Qian and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Professor Wang Qian, your performance was a success again."

Now everyone in the program team calls Wang Qian Professor Wang Qian to show respect.

Wang Qian shook hands with Oni and said casually, "I should congratulate you. Today's ratings should be very good, right?"

Seeing the other party so happy, he knew that today's ratings would definitely be a great success.

Oni laughed and said, "That's because you have brought us greater success. You have the charm to attract two billion people around the world to sit down and watch TV. This is our common victory."

Wang Qian smiled faintly: "Thank you!"

The three of them walked to the corner.

O'Neal looked around and continued, "Professor Wang Qian, what suggestions do you have for next week's performance?"

Wang Qian shrugged: "No suggestions, just follow the plan. Haven't we decided on our opponent yet?"

Oni nodded, and then continued: "Our entire program team will try our best to arrange a better performance experience for you. If you have any requirements for next week's performance, you can tell our program team in advance. For example, the layout of the stage, the arrangement of the lighting, and other things, you can put forward any of them, and we will satisfy you!"

"Now that the first round of competition is officially over, you are now ranked first among the second round players. This is indisputable. This is a privilege you should enjoy."

Oni looked at Wang Qian solemnly and said.

Wang Qian smiled. As a veteran in the entertainment industry in his previous life, he certainly knew the hidden meaning behind Oni's words! In other words...

Next week's show.

He will definitely come.

In tomorrow's draw, he won't be the one who gets a bye.

As the first-ranked contestant, he can now make some requests regarding the performance, and the program team will definitely cooperate.

everything……

It's all for profit.

According to Oni.

Wang Qian knew that the global viewership for his performance would definitely be over 2 billion, and would not be lower than last week's ratings.

And if he hadn't appeared, the viewership for other contestants would have been estimated to be at least halved, to around one billion at best.

Of course, having a global variety show watched by one billion people is actually a huge success.

However, how can one billion people be compared with two billion people? The income gap is not just two times, but at least four or five times at present, and the long-term benefit gap is more than ten times.

so.

No matter what.

They will all let Wang Qian appear on the stage.

Wang Qian is indispensable to every performance thereafter.

Wang Qian glanced at Zhou Qinghua.

Zhou Qinghua understood the meaning in Wang Qian's eyes and gave Wang Qian his support. Now is the time to put forward conditions.

Wang Qian's eyes sparkled as he looked at Oni and said, "Mr. Oni, The Voice of China World Competition is a global talent show. All contestants are champions from their respective countries. It has been very difficult to fight all the way here. Everyone is a rare and talented singer. Our show is now attracting global attention, and the contestants have shown amazing musical talent and strength."

Oni and Zhou Qinghua both nodded after hearing this.

They all knew very well that the performance of the players in this first World Championship really exceeded their previous expectations.

It also exceeded the imagination of all audiences and industry professionals.

This is no longer a talent show for rookies, it's almost like a fight between gods.

The strength and talent of each contestant is extremely amazing.

So, the champion selected in the end has the highest gold content among all the talent shows in history. It is no exaggeration to say that it is more valuable than the Grammy Awards.

Wang Qian continued, "So, the final champion won't get any prizes. Doesn't this make the program team seem too shabby? It doesn't fit the current status of our program."

Oni immediately looked up at Wang Qian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "You mean, you want the program team to set up a prize for the champion now?"

Wang Qian nodded, looking at Oni without giving in, and said affirmatively: "Yes, I think this may further stimulate the potential of the contestants, bring better performances to the audience, and attract more audiences. Mr. Oni, what do you think?"

Zhou Qinghua also looked at Wang Qian in surprise, and then watched with a smile, just like a spectator.

Now, the program team has something to ask of Wang Qian.

Then, Wang Qian is naturally qualified to put forward conditions.

However, both Oni and Zhou Qinghua were a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

Because, in the entertainment industry, Hollywood is undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry of all countries in the world, overlooking the entertainment industry in all countries and regions.

Any actor, producer, director, etc., as long as he has a Hollywood resume, he will immediately become a hot commodity in China. Many capitals and top stars will be eager to cooperate with them. They can also openly make all kinds of excessive demands to the Chinese entertainment industry and get affirmative agreement.

Almost no one in the Chinese entertainment industry is qualified to make demands on Hollywood!

Even those Chinese stars who have achieved success in Hollywood are no exception.

Although Wang Qian is not facing the big Hollywood studios now, the status of the top ten copyright holders represented by Oni is no weaker than those of the top Hollywood studios. They are also at the top of the North American entertainment industry and have a strong position in other countries.

Wang Qian, however, was able to put forward his conditions very calmly.

Oni looked at Wang Qian, his expression became serious, and then he said, "This is not impossible, but I need to go back and discuss it with other producers."

Wang Qian nodded: "Of course!"

Oni looked at Wang Qian and said, "In fact, the biggest prize is that the program team did not ask for the copyright of all of your works. I think that the sales revenue of all your works since you participated in this competition, Professor Wang Qian, will be an astronomical figure. And our program team did not ask for a single cent of this revenue."

The program team did not interfere with the copyright of the contestants' performances, which was indeed very conscientious.

This is the product of compromise among the top ten producers within the company.

Because except for Wang Qian, every other contestant has signed a contract with an agency and a record company. The investors behind them will not allow the copyright of the contestants' works to be taken away by the program team. That is in their interest.

Part of the reason was that we wanted to establish a good image in the first session, so we made a lot of concessions.

However, none of them expected that Wang Qian, the only independent singer, could achieve such amazing sales results. Just thinking about the final benefits made everyone in the program team jealous.

This week alone, the sales of three songs exceeded 100 million at the same time, which will bring Wang Qian hundreds of millions of dollars in share of income. This does not include the download income in the Chinese region. If the download income from China Qianqian Jingting is included, Wang Qian's net income this week will reach more than 200 million US dollars.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in a single week...

This is something that no one in Hollywood has ever done, including top stars and big-name directors.

Even in the entire decades of history of the North American pop music scene, no one has ever achieved this, and it is a number that no one has ever imagined.

At the same time, the sales of other contestants are very high. Even if part of the final income will be taken away by the company, it will still be a huge sum of money in their own hands.

In Oni's opinion, this is the biggest gift from the program team to all the contestants, and Wang Qian is the biggest beneficiary among them.

but……

Wang Qian still wants the final championship prize?

Oni felt that Wang Qian was greedy.

Wang Qian looked at Oni and shook his head and said, "In fact, Mr. Oni, if the program team had any copyright requirements in the contract, I might refuse to participate in the World Championship! In my opinion, the works I created and performed by myself should be mine. Even if I don't perform them here, I will be successful if I release them myself. What do you think?"

Oni was speechless for a moment! Although he was not a professional musician, he had a basic understanding and accomplishment.

He knew that all the works released by Wang Qian since the World Championship were excellent works that were bound to be successful. They might just be released independently and would not become instantly popular around the world like they are now. However, they would also gradually succeed and become more and more popular, and eventually have the potential to become classics of the times.

The most important thing is that by controlling the copyright, the long-term income will not be much lower.

So! He believed what Wang Qian said was true.

He was silent.

A few seconds later.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhou Qinghua broke the silence and said, "Professor Wang, we will discuss this carefully when we get back, and we will announce a charter tomorrow at the latest."

Oni also quickly said: "Yes, Professor Wang Qian, let's go back and discuss it first."

Wang Qian nodded: "Of course! This is just a suggestion from me, you don't have to adopt it. But I think with the incentive of rewards, we will perform harder and perhaps get better inspiration, right?"

Oni forced a smile, "Yes, I know! Well, let's go first, I'll call everyone to a meeting now!"

Wang Qian: "Okay, Director Zhou, Mr. O'Neal, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

The three separated.

Wang Qian went straight back to the lounge and met with Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others, then left the lounge and walked towards the exit to return to the hotel to rest.

It’s not far from twelve o’clock in the evening.

The time to release the song is coming.

The music scene around the world has been hyping this up for a week, and many singers in at least a dozen European and American countries have announced that they will release songs together to attack Wang Qian.

Therefore, Wang Qian also attaches great importance to this.

He had already informed the staff of the program team and asked them to edit the live version of the performance and send it to him as soon as possible.

As soon as Oni and Zhou Qinghua returned to the office, they called together representatives from production companies in other regions.

When Oni told Wang Qian's request.

All copyright holders in the entire conference room were in an uproar...

"God, he's threatening us?"

"What does he mean? If he doesn't get rewarded, he won't perform well? Doesn't he want to win the championship? The others won't let him go. Adam, Sophie, and Elizabeth are all working very hard. They all have a chance to beat him."

"He didn't say he wouldn't perform well, he just made a request."

"Everyone, please stop arguing. I will release a set of detailed data from just now."

"When Wang Qian performed, the highest number of viewers worldwide reached 2.35 billion. Before his performance, Sophie had the highest number of viewers, reaching more than 1.4 billion, followed by Elizabeth and Adam, and Miyuki Nakamori. However, these viewership numbers before his performance were partly due to him, because many people waited for his performance."

"Let's take a look at the number of viewers after his performance. When Jonathan performed, the number of viewers plummeted to only 1 billion. Then it continued to decline to 800 million, 600 million, and finally rose back to 800 million when Miyuki Nakamori performed..."

"I think everyone understands what Wang Qian means to us, right?"

"Even if we don't agree to his request, we can still force him to perform. But what if something unexpected happens? What if he deliberately controls the intensity of his performance and just manages to advance, but fails to continue to set off a global sensation? Our loss will be immeasurable."

"We set up a championship prize, which is nothing compared to our income. We can also use it to hype up the event and calm the emotions of all the players including Wang Qian, which will bring more benefits in the end."

After some analysis, everyone calmed down.

The declining ratings curve really scared them.

The difference between having Wang Qian and not having Wang Qian is simply several levels.

“Even if a bonus is set, will he be able to get it in the end?”

"Then it's not our problem. It doesn't matter who gets it. We won't lose anything."

"Then set up a prize money! Ten million dollars for the champion, and no prize money for the others!"

"Ten million dollars is too stingy. We have caused such a big sensation around the world that the ticket revenue can be calculated. Only giving ten million, people will not think we are giving a prize, but will think we are very petty."

"If we are going to give out prize money, let's say $100 million. This is our first World Championship, so we have to do something that no one would have thought of. $100 million is not much compared to our total revenue, but if we use hype, it may cause a bigger sensation and bring in more revenue."

"I agree. One hundred million dollars, and then continue to hype it up. It will definitely blow up the world and bring in more than one hundred million dollars in revenue."

"I agree, so let's set a prize of $100 million for the champion!"

"agree."

"I agree!"

"They are so lucky, I agree."

…

As soon as Christine and Garbo walked out of the Staples Center, a middle-aged man handed Christine an invitation letter: "Chris, hello, I am Mr. Robert's agent. Mr. Robert will hold a party at his estate later. Chris, you are the guest he most wants to invite. The attendees are all singers and musicians in the music industry who are sniping Wang Qian. We can discuss together how to reasonably and effectively arrange the release time of songs in the future to achieve the best effect of blocking the sales of Wang Qian's songs."

Are they going to launch an alliance to snipe Wang Qian? Christine and Garbo were both stunned.

Afterwards, Christine did not accept the invitation and shook her head, saying, "Sorry, I'm not interested. I'm not with you."

Robert's manager was stunned, then asked, "But aren't you going to release a song with Wang Qian tonight?"

Kristen nodded: "Yes, but I don't want to snipe his sales. I just want to release a song with him. Sorry, I have to leave first."

After saying that, Christine didn't waste any more time talking to the other party, but just pulled Garbo away quickly.

Agent Robert frowned and looked in the direction Christine left with a look of surprise and gloom.

Christine was the main person in their plan to snipe Wang Qian.

They thought they could easily win over Christine!

After all, judging from the timing of Kristen's song release and her behavior, it was obvious that she wanted to attack Wang Qian.

Now it seems...

That's not the case?

…

Wang Qian returned to the hotel, said goodbye to the band members, and then went back to the room with Qin Xuerong to take a shower.

The time is almost up! Wang Qian first looked at the latest charts and sales.

Unexpectedly.

In the past few hours, the sales growth of the three works once again brought surprises.

Perhaps because of his recent performance, it boosted a wave of download sales.

This sales performance.

No wonder the music circles around the world are getting restless.
