Chapter 405 404. They are all robbing money! The battle has begun! (Subscribe)
When Wang Qian walked off the stage.
Many people were very disappointed.
The production team was the most disappointed. They wished Wang Qian could stand on the stage and perform all night. Even if the audience got tired of watching, the ratings would still be amazing, and the revenue would be terrifying! But the moment Wang Qian stepped off the stage, the global audience began to plummet. From the 3.6 billion online viewers when Wang Qian was on stage, it plummeted instantly. When Adam came on stage, there were only more than 1.8 billion viewers left, and it was still fading quickly...
It was obvious that at least half of the audience were not interested in Adam's performance.
Everyone in the production team knew that Adam's performance could only support a maximum of about 1.5 billion viewers, possibly even lower.
Of course, Adam’s statistics are already very impressive. His global appeal is already very exaggerated for the time being, and even exceeds the number of fans of Kristen.
However, there is a Wang Qian in front of him, which makes Adam look very ordinary.
In addition to the program crew, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were also somewhat disappointed.
Their expectations were already high, and they were looking forward to seeing Wang Qian's live performance. Unfortunately, after whetting their appetite, Wang Qian left. They were naturally very disappointed, but they were even more looking forward to the finals.
so.
Now when Adam comes on stage, many audience members are not very interested in his performance.
However, Adam's last work was a rap song he carefully prepared, which was the painstaking work of him and two top producers.
He had intended to use this piece to decide the winner in the third performance.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the third performance and was eliminated by Sophie after two performances.
Even if he performed his most promising piece in advance, it would not be able to turn the tide. At most, it would only result in a tie. It would be almost impossible to eliminate Sophie.
Now……
Adam only hopes to prove himself in front of the whole world through this song. He also hopes to have this work performed on the most watched stage in the world, so as to achieve better commercial results and lay a more solid foundation for his future development in the world music scene.
This is his best effort to stop the loss in time.
As soon as he came on stage, Adam showed his best side. He was still full of passion and perfectly performed this rap song that the three of them had carefully created. The content of the song was still positive and it was interspersed with many of his personal experiences.
The atmosphere at the scene was gradually brought back by Adam, and many people began to focus on Adam's performance. Only then did they realize that Adam's performance was so wonderful that it was no exaggeration to say that it was the best live rap performance they had seen in recent years.
When Adam finished singing, Ceci, Robert and others quickly stood up and applauded Adam, giving him their encouragement and support.
All the audience stood up and applauded Adam.
Everyone knew that this might be Adam's last performance on this stage.
The champion of the North American region was eliminated!
This certainly made many North American audiences with more extreme ideas very angry and they were very resistant to Adam.
However, more viewers know that Adam has really tried his best and his performance far exceeded their expectations. They also feel sympathy and pity for Adam.
Adam's eyes were red, and he forced himself to hold back his tears!
"I'm sorry I let you down."
Adam picked up the microphone, spoke softly, then bowed 90 degrees to apologize to all the audience and cameras.
After saying that, Adam nodded slightly to everyone, waved his hand, turned and left the stage. He did not interact with the judges or the host Jennifer to increase the time he stayed on the stage.
He just wanted to leave the stage in a dignified manner; if he continued to stand there, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his tears.
After all, he is just a young man in his twenties.
Jennifer came up and looked at Adam who was leaving the stage in a hurry. She didn't try to stop him and said a few words to everyone with a look of regret, "It's a pity that our North American champion left the stage here. However, he is not a loser. He created a miraculous result on this stage. This week, he also created a historical record of single sales exceeding 100 million in a single week. Since he stepped onto this stage, he has created a total download sales of more than 390 million. This is definitely a huge achievement."
"We hope that he can continue to create brilliant achievements in the world pop music scene in the future!"
Jennifer's words made all the audience give Adam warm applause again.
Many ordinary viewers just felt that Adam's sales were nothing compared to Wang Qian and Sophie! After all, Wang Qian's first single this week had sales of more than 280 million, which was only 100 million short of Adam's total sales so far. No matter which of Wang Qian's previous works were added, the sales figures would exceed Adam's total sales.
but……
The singers and musicians in the music industry were all shocked. Many singers widened their eyes when they heard this number, obviously very surprised! Surprised that Adam had achieved such high sales in just one month during the World Championship? He had only released five works before, but he had nearly 400 million sales? The average sales of each song was almost 80 million? According to the pricing in Europe and the United States, at one dollar per song, wouldn't he have achieved a total sales of nearly 400 million US dollars?
After the split, Adam will get a terrifying amount of more than 100 million US dollars...
This is a huge amount of wealth for anyone, so huge that many ordinary people don’t know how to spend it.
Ninety-nine percent of the singers and celebrities present in the film and television circles do not have so much assets, let alone come up with so much money.
And this, this is just what Adam makes in a month.
They know even more clearly that this is far from all!
Adam's three songs tonight are all excellent rap works, and they will definitely achieve good sales after they are released. In addition, the income from the previous five works will continue to accumulate in the future. So when the world game is completely over, Adam's income will at least double...
That……
Singers like Robert, O'Connor, Lillard, and stars in the film and television industry like Ryder all became confused after a quick calculation. They looked at Adam's leaving back, and there was no longer any sympathy or pity in their eyes, only naked envy and jealousy.
He earned more than 200 million in two months!
Do they need sympathy from you poor superstars and poor kings and queens who can barely afford tickets?
Many big-name stars present here may not be able to accumulate so much wealth in their lifetime.
At least those star singers below the first-tier level basically have no chance to step into this wealth threshold in their lifetime.
Lillard whispered, "God, this World Series is so crazy, it's a wealth-making machine. I really wish I were 30 years younger, then I would definitely participate. I don't ask for the championship, as long as I can play two more games, I can get enough wealth for retirement."
O'Connor sighed, "When we were young, where were the opportunities like this? In fact, we will never earn as much as Adam does in two months in our entire lives."
Robert said in a complicated tone: "So, think about it, what about Wang Qian? What about Sophie? How much will they earn?"
A first-line singer at the back whispered, "Wang Qian's income is at least three times that of Adam, and Sophie's income is more than twice that of Adam. This is only temporary. Wang Qian and Sophie will continue to perform, and the increase in their wealth and income will far exceed that of Adam. At the end of the world championship, the gap between them will be even greater."
"My preliminary estimate is that Wang Qian's total income during the World Championship will probably not be less than $400 million. Sophie's current total income will not be less than $200 million..."
"God, I can't believe this is happening, I want to be on that stage, they are stealing the show."
The words of this first-line singer shocked the people around him who heard them, and their eyes were filled with naked envy and jealousy.
Then!
Yunna said calmly, "Guys, we will release the work tomorrow and reap the benefits. Don't forget Ellie from last week! She had hundreds of millions of downloads this week, and her personal net income will not be less than 30 million US dollars. Christine's income this week will not be less than 100 million US dollars!"
"It's not just those who stand on the stage who can make big money. We can also make big money by using their influence behind the scenes."
Yunna's words boosted the spirits of Robert and others.
Almost all the singers who released songs with Wang Qian made a lot of money this week.
Not to mention Ally and Kristen, the two biggest winners who broke historical records, even those first- and second-tier singers ranked after the top ten have earned far more than before, with weekly incomes of at least tens of millions of dollars.
O'Connor immediately said: "I will urge the company to increase its investment in publicity!"
Lillard immediately said: "Yes, we can't miss this opportunity. I will also ask my agent to increase the publicity investment..."
Robert: "We can promote it together and make it more powerful..."
When they were discussing in a low voice.
Sophie is already on stage.
Sophie's look tonight was very simple and pure. She continued her style of appearing without makeup in the previous performance. She wore a simple knee-length skirt, her hair draped over her shoulders, and she started singing directly to the accompaniment.
Sophie spoke.
Everyone listened quietly and carefully.
This is some amazing country music!
Many people at the scene looked at Sophie, and then at Christine who was sitting in the first row.
After all, Kristen made her debut and became the queen of country music, and she still sticks to this style. She has been popular all over the world for several years and has countless fans. She is now the representative singer of country music in the European and American music scene.
And now, the feeling of Sophie's singing as soon as she opens her mouth surprises many people who like country music.
Kristen's country music gives people a down-to-earth sense of reality, simple and real, like her hometown in yellowed old photos.
Sophie’s singing now gives people a feeling of being ethereal and distant, like a scene in a dream, just like poetry and the distance.
There is no difference in high and low, only different styles.
But, there is no doubt.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
They are all excellent works that sound great.
Ellie whispered beside Kristen, "Are you stressed?"
Kristen nodded slightly: "Of course, she is really amazing."
Christine had to admit that Sophie might be the one who crushed her in terms of musical talent!
However, she is also a genius and will not easily admit defeat in the field she excels in, so she added: "I will not lose."
Ellie didn't say anything, but just looked at Sophie with flickering eyes. She was extremely shocked in her heart, thinking about the performances of the four contestants she listened to tonight. Each of their performances could be regarded as one of the most exciting performances in the past decade or so!
The performance by Wang Qian and Sophie can be called a wonderful live performance that will be remembered in history.
Ellie felt that she had learned a lot. She would go back and digest it carefully, and integrate it into her next work, and maybe she would make another breakthrough.
Yunna also praised in a low voice: "She is simply perfect. This song has me intoxicated."
The others nodded in agreement.
Listening to Sophie's songs is a pleasure. Her heavenly voice can make them calm down and listen carefully.
The other audience members also had looks of enjoyment on their faces, praising Sophie's singing for being so beautiful.
The staff of the program also breathed a sigh of relief.
The ratings, which had been plummeting since Adam's last appearance, were pulled up again by Sophie, and now have risen back to around 2.3 billion. Although there is still a huge gap compared to Wang Qian's peak period, it is already very good data, and Sophie has now become the ratings leader.
Wang Qian was sitting in the lounge, feeling a little surprised!
Sophie's performance is getting more and more brilliant. From the opening performance to now, her progress is visible to the naked eye.
Wang Qian even felt that Sophie might eliminate him in the finals...
Sophie's country music is as good as any classic song Wang Qian has ever heard.
The other band members watched Sophie's performance and listened carefully with amazement! There was a flash of surprise in everyone's eyes.
Even though they have been working with Wang Qian for so long and their horizons have been broadened by his performances and rehearsals, they were still amazed and attracted by Sophie's performance.
When Sophie finished her performance, Wang Qian stood up from the sofa and applauded Sophie.
Qin Xuerong and others also stood up and gave their sincere applause to Sophie.
Juliet whispered, "There seems to be no end to Sophie's talent!"
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue nodded in agreement! Wang Qian felt a little eager when he thought about seeing Sophie again in the evening.
After the applause, Wang Qian pulled Qin Xuerong and sat down relaxedly.
After Sophie's performance, tonight's performance was officially over.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Wang Qian's phone rang.
It’s Zhou Qinghua calling.
Wang Qian stood up and walked out of the lounge, went to the door and answered the phone.
Zhou Qinghua immediately congratulated him and said, "Professor Wang, congratulations on your promotion!"
Wang Qian got straight to the point and said, "Thank you, Director Zhou. You called me so urgently. Is there something urgent?"
Zhou Qinghua smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Wang, the program team will fully cooperate with you on the promise you made on the stage just now. We will help you promote and increase sales, and we will definitely help you create a single sales record of over 400 million in a week!"
This was the decision the program team had just discussed, and they asked Zhou Qinghua to convey it to Wang Qian.
No matter what Wang Qian does, as long as it helps increase ratings and bring in revenue, the program team will support it.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Zhou. Please tell them for me. Thank you."
Wang Qian did not refuse. Even if he felt it was not necessary, he would be able to do it by relying on his own attractiveness and the attractiveness of his works.
but……
Why refuse free help? If you can get higher sales, why not? Zhou Qinghua: "Okay, Professor Wang, good luck in the finals! Regarding your performance tonight, the program team has started editing and producing as quickly as possible, and it will not delay your release time next week. After twelve o'clock, all the works of the four contestants tonight will be put on the shelves for sale as soon as possible."
Wang Qian: “Okay, thank you.”
Zhou Qinghua said solemnly again: "Professor Wang, come on!"
It’s almost the end, and Zhou Qinghua sincerely hopes that Wang Qian can win the championship so that he can become rich overnight.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I will do my best. Don't worry, your interests are the same as mine!"
Zhou Qinghua: "Yes, I know. Then I won't nag you anymore. Go back and have a rest. Bye!"
Wang Qian: "Goodbye!"
Hang up the phone.
Wang Qian saw Sophie walking off the stage after the performance. He smiled and nodded to her, his eyes full of admiration and support.
Sophie could understand what Wang Qian meant, and she smiled sweetly. Then she walked back to her lounge, prepared to pack up and go back early. She was looking forward to meeting Wang Qian in the evening.
Wang Qian also returned to his lounge and asked everyone to pack up and go back to the hotel to rest!
The show tonight is over.
but……
Wang Qian's battle in North America and even the world music scene has just begun.
At this moment, the world's focus is still on contestants such as Wang Qian and Sophie.
But, at the same time!
All the singers who plan to release songs next week are promoting them crazily on various social media platforms at the same time.
The battle has begun.
