Chapter 380 379. He not only conquered his fans, but also his opponents! (Subscribe)
Today, the world's focus is on pop music.
This is something that has not happened in the past thirty years.
The field of pop music hasn't been so bright for a long time.
but.
Most people's focus is still on Wang Qian...
Many people and the media are looking forward to what kind of online music sales record Wang Qian can create today. Kristen, the most popular pop diva in Europe and America, has become a supporting role today.
Even so! Up to now, Christine's singles have sold 70 million copies on the first day, Sophie's singles have sold over 58 million copies, Adam's singles have sold over 46 million copies, and Elizabeth's singles have sold over 43 million copies...
However, these explosive sales were still overshadowed by the explosive news that Wang Qian’s sales exceeded 100 million.
These horrific sales that were enough to cause a stir in the music industry and set records in the past now seem insignificant.
Because, Wang Qian's single sold over 100 million copies in just fifteen hours on the first day of its release, and other data pale in comparison.
Many media outlets were madly crowding around the hotel rented by the Voice of China program group, waiting for Wang Qian to make his debut...
Faced with the crazy media reporters, the hotel had to dispatch additional security personnel to block and protect them at the hotel entrance.
But when Wang Qian appeared.
Dozens of security guards are completely unable to resist the crazy reporters, self-media and internet celebrities.
Dozens or even hundreds of people broke through the security guards' blockade and rushed towards Wang Qian frantically.
That scene startled Wang Qian and his group...
The staff of the hotel and the program crew behind the scenes all hurriedly came over and stood in front of Wang Qian, protecting him in the middle, fearing that something might happen to him.
Wang Qian is the program team's living cash cow, and a super cash cow with unlimited potential.
No staff member in the program team wants Wang Qian to make any mistakes, which will affect the program team's subsequent performance arrangements. Any loss will be calculated in billions of dollars, and each of them will be heartbroken and unable to breathe.
so.
The filming and interviewing team prepared by the program crew, as well as other people, including the hotel's waiters, front desk clerks, etc., all came to protect Wang Qian.
Diana rushed forward and stood in front of Wang Qian. She opened her arms and blocked Wang Qian behind her, as if she were a hen protecting her chicks, with great care.
Qin Xuerong also stood in front of Wang Qian, and she was willing to protect Wang Qian at the critical moment.
Those crazy reporters, security guards and other staff members pushed each other hard and shouted loudly at Wang Qian.
"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?"
"Professor Wang Qian, Christine released a song at the same time as you, but you opened up a sales gap of 30 million on the first day. Do you think you have defeated Christine?"
"Professor Wang Qian, your single has once again created a sales miracle. Do you think you are the king of world pop music now?"
"Professor Wang Qian, who do you hope to be your next opponent?"
"Professor Wang Qian, some people think you are destroying Chinese pop music. Do you think that's right?"
"Monkey Wang Qian, get out of North America..."
"Wang Qian, you are not welcome here..."
…
In addition to some media reporters who asked serious questions, there were also some more radical people in the crowd shouting slogans to boycott Wang Qian.
Wang Qian looked at the surging crowd. The security guards and staff here seemed completely unable to push them out or restore order, so he had to step forward to calm the commotion.
At that moment, Wang Qian raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, stop what you are doing. I can accept an interview and answer your three questions! The premise is that you all remain quiet and orderly..."
When everyone saw Wang Qian raising his hand and shouting, they all quieted down, stopped what they were doing, and listened to Wang Qian's words.
The security guards hurriedly stood in front of Wang Qian to fully protect him.
Diana and other members of the program's interview team maintained order among the reporters.
Wang Qian also said, "Diana, you choose three reporters to ask questions. As long as they are normal questions related to the Voice of China competition, I can answer them."
Hundreds of media reporters gathered in the hotel lobby fell silent. There were still dense crowds of reporters at the door who wanted to come in, but they couldn't squeeze in at all. They could only hold up cameras and other equipment and take pictures continuously to record the scene and post them on their social platform accounts to quickly get some traffic in advance.
Many users on social media platforms are also paying attention at this moment. Everyone knows that Wang Qian has created another miraculous music sales record, and they are all discussing it. Naturally, they also want to see what Wang Qian himself has to say now.
The scene fell silent.
We are all professional media reporters and we all know what to do at a press conference like this.
Hands were raised, hoping to be chosen to ask questions.
Diana glanced at Wang Qian and saw that Wang Qian had no special request, which seemed to let her make the decision. She immediately scanned the logos of the media and chose a media that was more friendly to Wang Qian and China, and said, "Sir, you go ahead!"
The middle-aged reporter immediately shouted, "Professor Wang Qian, your single Viva La Vida has sold over 100 million copies and has driven the overall explosion of the pop music market. Some people think that you have saved pop music. Do you think so?"
Everyone looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian shook his head and said, "Pop music cannot be saved by me alone. I think other contestants of The Voice of China, as well as singers like Kristen and Ally, are also working hard. This is the result of everyone's efforts. As for the sales exceeding 100 million... Actually, you didn't notice that in the Chinese market, my single had already sold over 100 million a few hours ago."
Four hours ago, the sales of Wang Qian's single on the Qianqian Jingting platform exceeded 100 million in just eleven hours. Now the cumulative sales may have exceeded 120 million, and the sales gap with Europe and the United States has been maintained steadily.
However, singers and musicians in the European and American music scene, as well as many media reporters in the pop music circle, instinctively ignored the sales in the Chinese region and did not include it in the calculations.
Otherwise, global sales would have exceeded 100 million just half an hour after its release last night.
but……
They will still ignore China's sales.
This has been their habitual instinct for decades.
Wang Qian's words caused a stir among the hundreds of media reporters at the scene.
It was only at this time that many people remembered that there was also a Chinese market.
Many people's eyes lit up, as if they had discovered a new bright spot that could be hyped up.
After all, any news about Wang Qian can be hyped, and there are many people interested in it.
One question answered.
Everyone raise your hands again...
Diana glanced around and selected another media outlet that was relatively friendly to Wang Qian and the Chinese: "You come!"
The young woman asked Wang Qian loudly, "Professor Wang Qian, who do you hope to be your next opponent? Are you confident that you can eliminate the opponent? You have been breaking records and creating more miraculous sales for three consecutive weeks. Will you continue to break this week's record in your next official competition?"
Many people looked at the young woman who asked the question and thought, "Are you crazy?"
The current first-day sales record has reached a terrifying 15-hour sales volume of over 100 million.
What if they continue to break records next week? Create sales of over 100 million in a shorter time? Ten hours? Or how many?
Many people find it terrifying just to think about it.
Is the pop music market really that big?
But this is the topic, isn't it? Every pair of eyes stared at Wang Qian, expecting his answer.
Wang Qian looked at everyone with confidence and answered with a resounding voice: "Yes, that's what I want to do. I will keep improving and constantly challenge higher records to break through. I don't think the current sales record is the end. Whether it's me or others, we are constantly improving."
"Next week, we will have to achieve better sales than we have now, otherwise it will be a failure!"
Wang Qian avoided the next round of questions from his opponents and focused on answering the sales expectations for next week.
He is confident that next week will definitely break this week's sales record.
The whole audience went crazy because of his answer.
Everyone couldn't help but break the rules and asked questions crazily.
"Wang Qian, you are so arrogant, are you really Chinese?"
"Wang Qian, do you know what you are talking about? Your sales will exceed 100 million in a few hours next week? Do you think that so many people in the world really listen to your songs?"
"Wang Qian, you mean that everyone's overall sales will increase next week, right?"
"Wang Qian, you haven't answered the next round's question yet..."
"Wang Qian, what do you think of Christine's work?"
…
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, Wang Qian simply shut up and stopped talking.
Diana shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, please maintain order, otherwise this press conference will end immediately and you will all be expelled. You are not allowed to come in for interviews."
The hotel has urgently dispatched hundreds of security guards to the surrounding area, including a large number of waiters and even kitchen staff to replace them, in order to restore order here as soon as possible.
The Voice of China World Championships was so successful that the hotel received unprecedented exposure, becoming the most well-known and popular hotel in the world for the time being. Therefore, the hotel is doing its best to maintain its image and service standards, and also wants to continue its good cooperative relationship with The Voice of China World Championships.
Judging from this trend, The Voice of China World Competition will remain a world entertainment talent show that will remain extremely popular in the next few years. If it is held in Los Angeles every year and their hotel is rented every year, their income will skyrocket and their popularity will also skyrocket, providing great help for their future development! Fame and fortune come together.
Therefore, the hotel is now also trying its best.
Seeing so many people coming out of the hotel, the reporters all quieted down and raised their hands, hoping to get the last chance to ask questions.
Diana once again chose a media outlet that was close to Wang Qian and the Chinese: “You!”
The young man excitedly said loudly, "Professor Wang Qian, I am your fan. Singers from all over the world are trying to find ways to attack you and block your sales. This week, you defeated more than a dozen big-name singers including Kristen and Ally. Next week, they will send out more big-name singers to block your sales."
"What do you have to say about this? Do you think you will win the battle for pop music dominance?"
The scope of this young reporter's question is very large.
This is a sales battle between Wang Qian and the pop music scene around the world.
Although, at present, everyone is a winner. Although big-name singers such as Kristen and Ally lost in the rankings, their sales have skyrocketed, far exceeding their previous achievements, and their income will also skyrocket accordingly.
However, people with regional thinking still hope that these local singers can defeat Wang Qian and defend their home dignity.
And, at the moment, this looks like a pop music war that could last a long time.
Many big-name European and American singers have announced their recent song release plans.
Whenever Wang Qian releases a song, many big-name singers will release songs at the same time and attack Wang Qian together, as long as they can create trouble for him.
Of course, there are also a large number of people who want to come in and take advantage of the popularity and share the market dividends.
This battle may continue until Wang Qian finishes the World Championship, or even until Wang Qian officially releases an album in the future.
This kind of thing is what many media like to hype the most, and it is also what many spectators like to watch the most.
Only when there are disputes, controversies, winners and losers, can there be topics that can be hyped up crazily.
Everyone stared at Wang Qian quietly again, waiting for his answer.
Wang Qian frowned slightly, looked at the hundreds of pairs of expectant eyes, and then said with certainty: "I will definitely be the final winner. No matter who my opponent is, I will defeat him. Whether on the stage of the competition or in the music market outside the venue, I will be the final winner!"
Wang Qian once again announced his challenge to the world in front of hundreds of media from all over the world: "Whether you are a newcomer or a superstar, I welcome you to challenge me. Only with challenges can there be pressure and progress, and only in this way can everyone be motivated to create good works."
"I look forward to such common progress, and I also look forward to the day when you admit defeat to me."
Wang Qian's words made the scene boil.
This is completely different from their impression of the Chinese people being humble and low-key. Instead, he is actually flamboyant and confident. Many people even think he is too arrogant.
However, many people admire his confidence and boldness.
Qin Xuerong held Wang Qian's hand tightly and looked at him with eyes that were almost filled with tears.
Diana glanced at Wang Qian and was reluctant to look away. Her heart was completely occupied by Wang Qian's aura and temperament at the moment.
Snap, snap, snap…
Applause broke out.
Hundreds of media reporters and hundreds of hotel program staff at the scene applauded Wang Qian.
At the elevator door at the back, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Elizabeth all applauded Wang Qian gently. Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori looked at Wang Qian's back with fascination, and Elizabeth was also extremely appreciative.
Adam stared at Wang Qian quietly, with a blazing fire in his eyes - he wanted to defeat Wang Qian, and Wang Qian's current achievements were what he wanted! A short press conference ended.
The hotel staff hurriedly began to drive out the media reporters to make way for Wang Qian and the five second-round contestants, Sophie, Elizabeth, Adam, and Miyuki Nakamori, who were going to the TV station to record a program.
The media reporters also cooperated and made way, but they did not leave the hotel. Instead, they left a path in the middle, like the red carpet at the Oscars, leading directly to the nanny car at the hotel entrance.
On both sides of the aisle, cameras, camcorders, mobile phones, etc. were frantically taking pictures of Wang Qian and other contestants.
Wang Qian did not go over first, but took Qin Xuerong a step back, and said to Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Elizabeth, "Ladies first, please go first!"
However, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Elizabeth all took a step back, not daring to go first.
Miyuki Nakamori said with a little excitement: "Professor Wang, we don't dare to walk in front of you, you go first."
Sophie also stared at Wang Qian, and said with a smile like a goddess: "Professor Wang Qian, you go first, I will follow you."
What she said was "I follow you", not "we", and she knew that Wang Qian could understand what she said.
Elizabeth also nodded and said with a smile: "You are a professor and we are students. You go first!"
This scene was fully recorded by hundreds of media reporters on the scene.
At this moment, Wang Qian's status among the contestants of The Voice of China was fully demonstrated.
As for Adam, he stood at the back, and no one paid much attention to him. He stood there like a minion.
Wang Qian did not refuse. He nodded slightly to Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Elizabeth. Then he pulled Qin Xuerong directly through the passage left by the media reporters, walked towards the nanny car, got in the car, and the car quickly left the scene.
Then, Sophie walked out first. She was the second contestant in the official ranking. It was no problem for her to be the second to appear. Facing questions from some media around her, Sophie ignored them, got into the car with a cold look and left, following closely behind Wang Qian.
In the back, Elizabeth kept smiling. Although she was not as aloof as Sophie, she did not answer any questions from the media and quickly got into the car and left.
Adam was the fourth one. He wanted to interact with the media to increase his popularity, but the first three contestants were so aloof. If he appeared too enthusiastic, it would lower his status. So he could only ignore the media and got in the car and left.
Miyuki Nakamori was still fifth, and ignored the media. She quickly got into the car and left, following the four cars in front of her to the show studio! The appearance and departure of the five contestants were broadcast live on the Internet by many media.
The whole world saw it clearly! Many media and spectators saw Wang Qian’s achievements, status and influence clearly.
To use the headline of the Los Angeles Times to describe it, that is -
He not only conquered his fans, but also his opponents!
