Chapter 379 378. Sales of over 100 million in 15 hours! (Subscription required)
Wang Qian and several world championship players who signed contracts with Qianqian Jingting released their latest works on Qianqian Jingting almost simultaneously.
Now, the latest charts on Qianqian Jingting are almost dominated by the works of several contestants of the Voice of China World Championship, and the other domestic first-line singers who released new songs were completely crushed.
The song ranked first is undoubtedly Wang Qian's new song Viva La Vida, which sold more than 91 million copies in one night! The support from domestic fans for Wang Qian is beyond Wang Qian's imagination.
Perhaps in about an hour, the download sales will exceed 100 million, and it may take less than half a day.
Ranked second is Sophie’s single.
Kristen's single has not yet been synced to the Chinese region, but Ellie's single has been synced to Tengfei, which shows that Tengfei is not idle either.
Sophie's single had cumulative sales of more than 30 million in China in one night. Although it is far from Wang Qian's 91 million, it is already a very amazing result for a foreign singer in China.
The third-ranked single is not Elizabeth, but Miyuki Nakamori!
Miyuki Nakamori is very popular in China, almost as popular as Sophie. Her cumulative sales in one night reached more than 29 million. The gap between her and Sophie is very small, and there is hope that she will surpass Sophie in the future.
Moreover, the fourth, fifth and sixth are all works by Miyuki Nakamori, with sales ranging from 27 million to 29 million. The sales of the four works are very evenly distributed, and they have a large audience in the Chinese region. The total sales combined even exceed Wang Qian's single sales, exceeding 100 million.
Then came Elizabeth, whose single sales exceeded 23 million, which was also an improvement over last week, but her ranking dropped too much and she could only rank seventh.
It can be seen that compared with Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori, Elizabeth's popularity in China is much lower.
Of course, Sophie's single is indeed better than Elizabeth's. Whether it is Sophie's own voice, the rhythm of the music, or the background music, they all sound better than Elizabeth's works.
Chinese audiences are absolutely the first animals to listen to English songs. 99% of them don't understand the lyrics. Naturally, the ones with better voices, better rhythms, and more beautiful singers are more popular! Elizabeth's works are suitable for listening slowly and repeatedly to feel some of the life insights in them.
However, the Chinese audiences could not understand the lyrics, so how could they understand the feelings? The existence of Miyuki Nakamori, the ceiling of Asian beauty, and the unique comic goddess temperament of some Japanese beauties are also very lethal to the Chinese audiences. In addition, the singing is better, and it also incorporates Wang Qian's rock style, with a stronger sense of rhythm, which naturally attracts the Chinese audiences at the first time.
so……
It is very understandable and almost inevitable that Elizabeth's works are not as attractive as Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori in China.
This makes many Chinese singers who want to release works recently feel very frustrated.
They did not occupy the eighth, ninth and tenth places on Qian Qian Jing Ting's weekly sales chart. Instead, these places were occupied by Wang Qian's three rock singles released last week. After one night, all three singles still had sales of around 20 million, pushing several first-line singers who had released works, as well as many independent singers, out of the top ten.
It can be seen that the competition on Qianqian Jingting's sales list has become extremely fierce due to the participation of several players from the World Championships.
Many first-tier singers with daily sales of nearly 10 million, as well as first-tier singers and independent singers with sales of millions, cannot enter the top ten list. This is a breakthrough sales in the Chinese pop music scene for them, but now no one is paying attention to them.
Qin Xuerong watched Wang Qian staring at the Qian Qian Jingting page and flipping through his phone, and whispered, "Many music critics in China have talked about the crisis of Chinese music. They said that these foreign singers have such high sales in China that people will gradually stop listening to Chinese songs. Recently, the sales of new songs by Chinese singers have not been good."
"They said this was a cultural invasion, and that you were the sinner of the Chinese music scene, and that you were the one who started this trend..."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "This is only temporary. Besides, these English songs are actually not understood by everyone. People just downloaded them because they watched The Voice of China World Championship and were attracted by the stage performances. As long as the popularity of the World Championship is over, the sales of English songs will return to the previous level. It won't be too high. The cultural gap will always exist."
"After all, no one understands..."
Wang Qian is quite sure about this. This is different from movies and TV dramas. In movies and TV dramas, you can watch the plot and special effects, but the expression of songs is not three-dimensional enough. As long as you can't understand it, it is enough to give up.
Qin Xuerong nodded: "Yes, some people have refuted this as well. By the way, Lao Xu just sent me a message saying that our platform has added more than 20 million paid members overnight. Adding the accumulated number last week, the total number of paid members on our Qianqian Jingting platform is almost 300 million, which is more than double that of Tengfei."
"The company now has a large amount of surplus money in its account, more than 1.5 billion. Moreover, domestic investors are also contacting him through various means, hoping that he will contact us to continue discussing financing. Ali Investment has given a valuation of 45 billion, which has already broken the ceiling of China's online music downloads."
"However, Tengfei's sponsor also gave us the same valuation, and also promised that if we agreed to their investment, they would sell Tengfei to us at a low price, or even give it to us for free! If we integrate them, we will completely dominate the domestic online music download market..."
"Lao Xu said that this is a very tempting proposal. Tengfei has dominated the Chinese music market for nearly a decade, and its brand awareness and user stickiness are still very high. If we can take it over and integrate it into Qianqian Jingting, it will be a huge improvement for us as a whole, and the effect of one plus one is greater than three."
Qin Xuerong told all this to Wang Qian in a very calm tone, without adding her own emotions, as she did not want to influence Wang Qian's judgment.
From the perspective of capital, accepting the investment from Tengfei's financial backers and merging with Tengfei is definitely the best way of cooperation. By integrating the operations and then listing it, it will definitely create another Internet wealth miracle.
A market value of 100 billion is not a dream! Even if Wang Qian accepts financing, he will definitely still hold most of the shares. His net worth will reach tens of billions, and he will become one of the top richest people in China.
Moreover, he did it in a very short time! This is an opportunity that all ordinary people dream of.
but……
This is not the first time that the proposal to integrate Tengfei has been made.
It has no appeal to Wang Qian.
Wang Qian's expression did not change at all. He just flipped through the pages on his phone to check the public opinion in China, and said softly: "Let Lao Xu spread the word that I will officially start accepting financing after returning to China. However, the financing plan of Tengfei's financiers is rejected again. I will not accept Tengfei's stall. Moreover, anti-monopoly has begun to be implemented in substance recently. If we swallow up Tengfei, it will be a complete monopoly. We may be punished by then. There is no need to touch this."
"Tengfei has no appeal to me. I refused once last time, and I will refuse this time and in the future. I hope they won't bring up Tengfei anymore."
Qianqian Jingting is just an Internet platform, not a technical high-tech enterprise like Huawei, and Wang Qian will not promote his Internet platform as high-tech, so the profit cannot be very high, and is definitely not as much as the wealth obtained through listing operations.
Music platforms are not online shopping platforms, so the upper limit will not be very high.
If Wang Qian wants to go global in the future, going public is a must.
So! Going public is imperative, but the timing of financing is very important.
The World Championship period is Qianqian Jingting's most glorious highlight. It has completely surpassed Tengfei and firmly established its position as the domestic leader. The increase in users and works will usher in explosive growth.
After Wang Qian returned to China, it was Qianqian Jingting’s peak moment in a short period of time, so it was also the best time for financing!
However, Wang Qian’s financing plan was not for the other party to invest money, but to sell part of his shares to the other party, cash out a sum of cash, and then use it for his other businesses, such as Haidilao, or the operation of Xuehong Entertainment Group, etc., which all require funds urgently.
This is the first and last round of financing. The next one will be the listing.
Wang Qian made another plan in his mind.
Qin Xuerong agreed: "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Xu."
Wang Qian was looking at the post posted by Xue Man, which was currently topping the list of hot topics on Weibo. The title was the extremely attractive King of World Pop Music!
In fact, since Wang Qian started to achieve better and better results in the world competitions, many domestic media have dubbed him the King of the World many times in order to hype and attract attention.
but.
Most of the content from those self-media is just for the sake of sensationalism.
This time, Xue Man's speech was recognized by many people.
The most important thing is that Wang Qian released a song together with Kristen this time, and it was the first time that he directly defeated the top singer in the European and American music scene.
Before, no matter how good Wang Qian's achievements were, even if all three singles sold over 100 million last week, breaking all the single-week sales records in the world music scene, and breaking all of Christine's sales records, some people said that he had not defeated Christine head-on, so he was not the world's number one!
Kristen's status in the European and American music scene is unparalleled. Several of her albums have won annual sales crowns, and she holds many previous online music records. She has never failed in all these years since her debut.
If Wang Qian does not defeat her head-on, many people will not recognize him as the world's number one.
this time!
Wang Qian and Kristen released a song together, and the real positive sales volume far surpassed and defeated Kristen. Now there was no excuse to prevent Wang Qian from becoming the world's number one.
perhaps……
Some people still say that Wang Qian has not even released a formal album, and has not even won the world's annual sales champion.
Or some people would say that Wang Qian has never won a Grammy Award.
but.
No one would doubt that these things would be in Wang Qian's pocket in the future.
Therefore, Xue Man used a series of data to compare with Christine, and looking forward to the future, she will make Wang Qian the: King of World Pop Music!
There were a lot of likes on Weibo. After a few hours, the number of likes and reposts of this article exceeded 10 million, and the number of people leaving comments reached tens of millions.
"I support you. Professor Wang is the king of world pop."
"I downloaded Christine's songs, too. They're very nice, sober and delicious. She played all the accompaniment with just a guitar. She's really a genius. But compared to Professor Wang, she's still a long way behind."
"I hope Professor Wang will return to China soon to release Chinese songs. Although the English songs released at the World Championships sounded very exciting and good, they are still not as pleasant as Chinese songs."
"Looking forward to Professor Wang's triumphant return..."
"The draw will be held tonight. I am really looking forward to who Professor Wang's next opponent will be."
"Next victim please?"
"My favorite songs are "You in the Past" and "Shame on Me" by Professor Wang. I don't like English songs, but in order to support Professor Wang, I paid to download all of his English songs."
"I love Miyuki Nakamori and Sophie..."
"I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited. China is going to have a world pop king. Professor Wang is awesome..."
…
Wang Qian also liked and reposted Xue Man's post, and said on his Weibo account: "Thank you for your support. My achievements are all thanks to your support. The motherland and you are my biggest supporters."
Just a simple sentence, sent out.
Then.
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment.
because……
The Weibo page is stuck again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Qin Xuerong laughed and said, "You've ruined Weibo again. Last time you made a comment, Weibo crashed, and many people complained that you were the Weibo destroyer. Now it's happening again... I don't know why Weibo doesn't upgrade its servers..."
Wang Qian shook his head and said casually, "It seems that next time I speak on Weibo, I need to pay attention to the time. There are few people talking in the middle of the night?"
Qin Xuerong laughed again, knowing that Wang Qian was joking, and immediately suggested: "We can split the traffic. Let's register official accounts on other platforms. That way, many of your fans will not only follow your Weibo, but can also see your updates on other platforms, instead of focusing on Weibo."
"After all, your Weibo followers have exceeded 90 million, and it will soon exceed 100 million. Weibo is currently experiencing both pain and happiness."
The pain is because Wang Qian's influence is too great. His more than 90 million fans are basically living people, and most of them are active users who have only recently started following Wang Qian. They will seize any opportunity to interact with Wang Qian, which brings in a lot of traffic every day and takes up server space.
Once Wang Qian sends a message to interact with everyone, it is estimated that it will cause more than tens of millions of people to speak and interact on the same page at the same time, which will instantly cause the server to freeze.
As for happiness, it is naturally because of the emergence of super phenomenal celebrities like Wang Qian, which has also brought high attention to the Weibo platform and driven up their market value. After all, Wang Qian currently only has an account on Weibo and does not have accounts on other platforms. Weibo now enjoys the traffic dividend from Wang Qian alone.
Wang Qian nodded: "Sure, you can try it out in the next few days. First, register an account on DouYue and post some daily footage of me and the band recording songs. I think everyone will like to see it."
Qin Xuerong: "Okay, I'll talk to DouYue's executives later. They found us a long time ago and wanted to invite us to stay at DouYue. They will give us a lot of signing bonus."
Wang Qian: "Just chat with me, don't be too dark, and don't be too low."
Qin Xuerong: "I know my limits. By the way, look at Tengfei, it's doing pretty well now."
Wang Qian raised his eyebrows in surprise and clicked on the Tengfei platform curiously.
Adam, Ellie, and several top European and American singers were recommended on the homepage, including a superstar singer, O'Connor!
Adam's sales on Tengfei are also not low. The single he collaborated with Xina sold more than 20 million copies in one night, occupying the top spot on Tengfei's weekly chart. It is far from comparable to the chart of Qianqian Jingting.
However, sales of more than 20 million in a single day is already a very good sales volume for the Tengfei platform. In addition, Elle also has sales of more than 10 million, and the works of several other first-line European and American singers also have sales of several million, and there are also new songs by several familiar first-line Chinese singers.
To be honest, in terms of singer status, Tengfei has a very solid foundation.
only……
However, its sales were crushed by Qianqian Jingting and nothing was left.
In terms of the overall number of users and consumption potential, Tengfei has been left far behind by Qianqian Jingting.
However, Tengfei's development has not stopped, it is still progressing and improving.
Wang Qian admires this very much.
Qin Xuerong got up and ordered breakfast.
Wang Qian took a shower and then came out to have breakfast with Qin Xuerong.
This afternoon we have to go to the TV station to broadcast the lottery live, and there will also be an interview session, so Wang Qian has no rehearsal plans and let the band members take a day off.
After dinner, I chatted with Qin Xuerong for a while and talked about the news from Douyin.
"DouYue was very positive. As soon as they heard that I wanted to join DouYue, they immediately offered me a signing fee of 100 million yuan a year. However, they required us to open an account on DouYue immediately, post at least one video every day, and live broadcast for at least ten minutes every week. All the live broadcast gifts are ours..."
Qin Xuerong began to report the situation to Wang Qian.
Wang Qian shook his head: "One video a day is not a problem, but live streaming at least once a week is not enough. I have to live stream once every two weeks, and the duration is controlled to about five minutes. I don't have that much time. The gifts and all other platform income are my own. The contract fee is 200 million a year, no negotiation, this is already very low."
Qin Xuerong immediately started talking to the other side.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Wang Qian's phone rang.
It’s Zhou Qinghua calling.
Wang Qian answered immediately: "Director Zhou..."
Zhou Qinghua: "Professor Wang, please come to the studio after lunch to gather."
Wang Qian: “Sure!”
Zhou Qinghua: "The program team has agreed to the prize money. The final world champion will receive a prize of 100 million US dollars."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "That's quite generous."
Zhou Qinghua: "The production team agreed to your request, so you will definitely be in the performance this weekend."
Wang Qian: "It doesn't matter, I'm fine."
There is just no chance of a bye. It doesn’t matter to Wang Qian who the opponent is.
Anyway...
No matter who it is, he will defeat it.
only.
He didn't really want to face Sophie.
He couldn't bear to eliminate Sophie with his own hands.
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Then I won't say anything. I'm still very busy here. Congratulations, this will set another record. A record of over 100 million sales in a single day... Now the entire European and American music scene is crazy about it, awesome!"
Zhou Qinghua couldn't help but say "awesome" to Wang Qian.
This is an achievement that is unimaginable for Chinese singers, and he has also gained huge benefits from it. At least his status in the program team has improved a lot, and he has become a big shot that all other copyright holders want to curry favor with.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Zhou Qinghua laughed and hung up the phone.
Wang Qian looked at his current sales in Europe and the United States. He was still at the top of the list, with sales now exceeding 87 million. The growth rate during the day was slightly higher than that at midnight.
Everyone knows.
The single-day sales of Wang Qian's single are about to exceed 100 million.
It's unstoppable.
So! Now, the entire European and American media and many musicians and critics are still discussing this matter.
After lunch, Wang Qian took Qin Xuerong downstairs to the TV station studio.
The hotel lobby has been overwhelmed by a sea of reporters.
Dozens of security guards were unable to stop the countless media reporters and internet celebrities who came to take advantage of the popularity.
They all went crazy when they saw Wang Qian.
Dozens of media reporters shouted at Wang Qian frantically: "Professor Wang Qian, your single sold over 100 million copies in just 15 hours on the first day. What do you want to say about this?"
