Chapter 414 413. Cooperation between giants! Guzheng performance? (Subscribe please!)

In any country or region, Internet giants are the ones with the most money.

In order to develop, Internet giants are also the most generous in spending money, because they relied on spending money to grow step by step from the beginning! Wang Qian looked at the contract information one by one, and was also surprised at the generosity of these giants.

but!

The latest contract offered by DouYue is still the most shocking to Wang Qian! The core summary is four words: comeback.

DouYue seems not to be satisfied with its last encounter in the international market, so this time it is looking for Wang Qian to cooperate and make a comeback. Now that the international situation has changed, it seems that there are new opportunities.

"Xue Rong, Professor Wang. We have an urgent meeting and have a proposal. We want to work closely with Professor Wang to launch a new international short video platform. We will provide the technology, personnel and company structure, Professor Wang will attract traffic, and the equity will be 50-50! However, the premise is that the product will be released within a week, and Professor Wang will attract as much traffic as possible, reaching hundreds of millions of registered users during the World Games. If this is not achieved, then the equity you get will be reduced accordingly."

Over the past year or so, Douyin has apparently been preparing to return to the international market.

Perhaps, what we are waiting for is an opportunity.

Now, Wang Qian’s hot performance in the world competition is a new opportunity.

Letting Wang Qian attract traffic and giving equity based on the number of users attracted is actually a very common bet on the Internet.

Qin Xuerong whispered, "Actually, we can give it a try. But I think we should take the lion's share. Because you are the most indispensable one. Once successful, the benefits will be huge."

Wang Qian's eyes flickered as he thought quickly, then he said softly, "In principle, I agree. We can discuss the specific details of the contract later. They can start preparing for the launch of the new platform now. However, this is only an international cooperation. There is no conflict with domestic cooperation."

The two parties cooperated to develop an international version of the platform, which is only aimed at the international market.

Wang Qian can continue to sign contracts in the domestic market.

Qin Xuerong nodded: "Yes, that's for sure. DouYue's latest contract offer is 700 million a year. During the World Championship, the live broadcast will be 130 million, with no limit on duration. After the World Championship, the live broadcast will be 50 million, with no limit on duration. Other terms remain unchanged, and all rewards and advertising income will belong to us."

Wang Qian nodded and said, "Yes, you can sign it!"

Qin Xuerong smiled: "Okay, I will inform them to prepare the contract. And Tencent, they offered 750 million a year, and they always maintain the highest offer. The price of live broadcast is the same as Douyin, and there is no increase."

Wang Qian nodded again: "Okay!"

Qin Xuerong sent the confirmed news to Tencent again, and then said: "What about Alibaba? Tmall spokespersons and celebrity settlement are 550 million per year! Other requirements remain the same. If we sign a Tmall endorsement, we cannot sign an endorsement with JD.com. JD.com endorsement and settlement are 500 million per year. If you don't endorse, the settlement fee is 200 million per year, and the other requirements are almost the same."

The two companies are in direct competition.

Of course, the competition between Pinduoduo and Alibaba is actually more intense, but Pinduoduo did not approach Wang Qian this time, otherwise Alibaba would probably offer a higher price.

The overall Internet industry seems to be diverse, but the circle of giants is actually very small, with only a few companies, and even fewer surviving peers, so they basically know each other very well. Everyone probably knows very well how much the other party’s contract gave to Qin Xuerong.

These prices were not raised by competition among them. They all knew the situation and would not raise prices maliciously, as that would only benefit Wang Qian.

The price was raised because Wang Qian's popularity was increasing. They had to raise the price to sign Wang Qian quickly and get this wave of traffic. That's why they offered a high price to cut the Gordian knot! Wang Qian thought about it for a while and said, "Sign with Alibaba. JD.com can also open a store. The entry price can be lower."

Qin Xuerong immediately wrote it down and sent it to Alibaba and JD.com, saying, "What about Weibo? They offered 300 million a year for a one-year contract! Just send three interactive messages a week and participate in Weibo's official events once a year."

Wang Qian agreed: "Okay, but we need to be notified of the official event time one month in advance, otherwise I won't go."

Qin Xuerong also recorded it and sent it to Weibo.

After a while, Qin Xuerong received replies from all the giants. Basically, they had no objections. They were all eager to sign the contract so that they could taste Wang Qian's terrifying traffic as early as possible. To this end, they could make concessions on some details. After all, it was only a one-year contract. As long as they could enjoy the traffic dividend from Wang Qian during the World Championship, it didn't matter if they gave up some profits later.

It ended a year later.

Qin Xuerong immediately said, "They have no problem with it. They have gone back to draft the contract, which will be sent to me soon! I will contact our company's lawyer to look at the contract now. If there is no problem, I will print it out and sign it. The rest is DouYue's cooperation! They said they can make some concessions and give us 51 shares. This is the biggest concession. They have contributed money and effort, so it is impossible for them to make more concessions."

"However, the requirement for registered users has been raised to 120 million. This is about the same as the number of people in the live broadcast room just now."

Wang Qian leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, knowing that he would be busy next.

However, he couldn't refuse so much money from so many giants.

Wang Qian nodded: "Okay, fifty-one! Let them go online as soon as possible. For other contracts, require full payment of the signing fee after signing!"

Qin Xuerong immediately agreed: "No problem!"

In this wave, Wang Qian can earn more than 2 billion yuan in signing fees alone. It's not so fast even if you rob money, and it's probably not so fast even if the central bank and the Federal Reserve print money.

All I can say is that with fame, popularity and traffic, you can really do whatever you want!

Qin Xuerong asked again: "What about the platforms in North America? Download platforms, Facebook, Twitter, what are their quotations?"

Wang Qian smiled and shook his head: "Reject all of them! I will not cooperate with foreign download platforms for a long time. I will release my works on their platforms during the World Championship because of the cooperation agreement signed between the World Championship program team and them, but it will only last until the end of the World Championship. At that time, I will remove all my works and only put them on Qianqian Jingting."

"As for Facebook and Twitter, I am going to cooperate with Douyin to launch an international version of the platform. Of course, I will not cooperate with Facebook and Twitter again! I want to get 51% of the shares, so naturally I have to help the platform grow as much as possible."

Qin Xuerong smiled: "Then I will just reject them directly."

Wang Qian reached out and touched Qin Xuerong's hair, saying, "Just reject them, so they won't bother us again. Your job today is to handle the contracts of several domestic giants. I'll just wait for the signatures. Don't sell me out."

Qin Xuerong smiled sweetly and said, "Don't underestimate me. If I want to sell you, I will sell you to my own company. I can't bear to sell you to others."

Wang Qian smiled, hugged Qin Xuerong tenderly for a while, and Qin Xuerong went back to work.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Wang Qian's phone rang again.

It was Zhou Qinghua who called again.

Wang Qian didn't move from his position, just lay on the sofa and answered the call: "Director Zhou? What do you want to talk to me about so early in the morning?"

Zhou Qinghua laughed and said, "Hahaha, Professor Wang, have you seen the sun in Los Angeles? Is it still early? I'm ready to have lunch. I just saw you live streaming on DouYue, and more than 120 million people were watching. That's awesome!"

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you for your support."

Zhou Qinghua: "Professor Wang, you are the only one in the world who has this kind of charm. Congratulations to Professor Wang for breaking the first-day sales record of European and American pop music again today. The weekly sales record is expected to be broken as well. There is nothing much to say, it is still awesome."

There was also a hint of excitement in Zhou Qinghua's voice.

Before coming to North America, Zhou Qinghua never dreamed that Wang Qian's arrival here would bring such great success and bring him to the peak of his life.

Wang Qian's tone was still relaxed, as if he was talking about something insignificant: "Director Zhou, stop praising me. Just tell me what you want to say. I know you are a busy man and you won't come to see me for no reason. You definitely didn't come to chat with me."

Zhou Qinghua laughed and said, "Hahaha, I knew you understand me, Professor Wang. Then I'll be frank. Professor Wang, do you want to perform on stage at this weekend's show? The production team wants to invite all the contestants to perform on stage again! Add in Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori's official competition, and we'll have the full show."

Another family photo shoot? The production team really wants to make money, so they will do anything.

However, this is actually a good thing for the contestants, especially for those who have been eliminated. It is definitely a rare opportunity to perform on stage. Audiences from all over the world will also be happy to see the contestants they support perform on stage again.

They may never encounter such a terrifying exposure stage as the World Championship again.

The program team can also reap ratings and earn huge profits.

It's a win-win situation for all parties.

However, Wang Qian was not very interested in this and said calmly: "Sorry, Director Zhou, I don't have time. I want to take a break and prepare well for the finals. I don't want to make any mistakes."

Zhou Qinghua was silent for a moment. He also hoped that Wang Qian could prepare well for the finals and then win the championship in one go. This was related to the horrific income of the Chinese copyright holders, and was also his own vital interest!

So, he supported Wang Qian in his heart.

but!

The program team voted and decided that Wang Qian must appear.

It was useless for him to oppose alone.

If Wang Qian disagrees, the program team will not hesitate to use the contestant contract to force Wang Qian to perform. Anyway, there are only two performances left, so it doesn't matter if they offend Wang Qian. Does Wang Qian dare to act recklessly in the final?

Everyone knows that Wang Qian cannot afford to lose in the end and will definitely try his best to win the championship.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After the World Championship, they will almost never have the chance to work together again.

Zhou Qinghua prepared his tone for a moment and said, "Professor Wang, the program team has confirmed the performance this weekend and all contestants need to appear. We have already notified the other contestants and everyone agrees. You can just deal with it casually, okay?"

Wang Qian knew immediately that the production team was determined to have him go on stage. According to the contestant contract, he really couldn't refuse. He frowned slightly and said, "It's fine to go on stage, but I won't sing. I'll play a song with an instrument."

Uh! Zhou Qinghua was stunned for a moment.

Not far away, Qin Xuerong, who was negotiating a contract on his mobile phone while listening attentively to Wang Qian's words, also became cold and turned to look at Wang Qian.

Zhou Qinghua was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly said, "Instead of singing, why not play a piece of music? Piano music? I think the production team won't have any objections as long as you can perform on stage. This isn't a formal competition performance, it's just a voluntary performance, and you have the greatest freedom to choose."

If it's a formal competition, then it won't work.

After all, the show is called "The Voice of the World". You can't not make any sound during the performance, right? How can you hear the sound? And this performance is just a happy-ending entertainment performance. As long as it is a formal performance, it will be fine. Even if Wang Qian said he wanted to perform a magic trick, the program team couldn't do anything about it.

Wang Qian smiled at Qin Xuerong who was looking at him, and said, "That's good. I will play a guzheng piece on the stage. Well, it's a piece I composed before and has never been performed before. You can spread this news!"

Zhou Qinghua's eyes widened on the other end of the phone, and he asked in surprise, "A guzheng piece that has never been published? Performing it on stage for the first time to the world this weekend?"

Zhou Qinghua's heart was filled with surprise.

However, Wang Qian's rock performances are the most anticipated by most audiences around the world.

However, Wang Qian's performance of classical instruments can also attract many people's attention! After all, Wang Qian's lectures at Curtis were watched online by one billion people around the world and were recognized by classical music artists around the world.

Moreover, Wang Qian's piano piece Magic City Rhapsody has been downloaded over 300 million times worldwide, and the audience is definitely beyond imagination.

Wang Qian is also a giant in the classical music world. If this news gets out, it will definitely attract the attention of the world's classical music community, especially in China, where it will definitely be very popular! Originally, Wang Qian had been singing English songs in the world competition, and some people in China were sarcastic, saying that Wang Qian did not represent Chinese music.

Now……

Chinese music is here and it will definitely cause a sensation in the country.

Zhou Qinghua couldn't wait to spread the news back home.

Wang Qian answered with certainty: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Okay, that's no problem. I'll ask them to start promoting it now?"

Wang Qian: “Okay.”

Zhou Qinghua: "Goodbye, Professor Wang. Have a good rest."

Wang Qian: "Goodbye, Director Zhou!"

Hang up the phone!

Wang Qian leaned his head on the sofa with his hands, relaxed very comfortably, squinted his eyes, and wanted to take another nap.

He hasn't been this relaxed lately.

Qin Xuerong said: "Domestic fans will definitely be happy to know that you will play guzheng music at the world competition."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "As long as they are happy, that's all I can do. How is the contract negotiation going?"

Qin Xuerong: "I sent it to the lawyers. Let them take a look."

When the two were chatting.

The World Championship program team also discussed it for a while.

"Guzheng music? What is Guzheng?"

"Oh, a Chinese musical instrument! However, it's quite classical, so I don't think it will work. Our world competition is about pop music, and many people will be disappointed by pure classical instrument performance. They are here to see Wang Qian sing exciting rock music!"

"The audience for classical instrument performances is relatively small, so I'm not optimistic about it!"

“But he only wanted to play this piece, otherwise he would have continued to sing a song he had already sung, which would have been even more disappointing for everyone.”

"Well, that's the only way. Let's try to promote it. Maybe the classical music schools will be interested..."

"Then let's start the promotion right away, focusing on promoting the official competition between Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori, and then Wang Qian's guzheng. It's called guzheng, right? Yes, guzheng performance..."

…

It only takes a few minutes.

The program team released the news.

Then.

It instantly attracted the attention of the whole world.

Wang Qian was holding the phone and looking at the latest sales list again when it suddenly rang.
