Chapter 415 414. Support from Chinese fans! European and American music scene: We are about to stand up! (Subscribe)
After The Voice officially announced the news!
The media around the world who follow the pop music sales charts, as well as all Wang Qian's fans, were all surprised.
Play a piece of classical instrumental music unique to China on such a globally watched pop music stage!
There is no doubt that this is unique in the world and a first in the history of pop music.
even……
Many European and American people have asked questions online or searched for answers themselves - what is a guzheng? Even many European and American media workers are confused - what is a guzheng? Some self-media and pop musicians directly asked a big question on their social accounts - not hiding their ignorance, and directly asked the question - what is a guzheng? One media outlet directly said: "I did a special investigation and found that the guzheng is a classical instrument unique to China. However, it is rare in Europe and the United States. Wang Qian chose to play a guzheng piece that he has never released in his performance this weekend, perhaps he wanted to use the stage of the world competition to promote his classical music works."
"Having already achieved miraculous sales in pop music, he now has to start proving himself in classical music."
…
Some pop music media also gloated: "Next week will be the week when Wang Qian is defeated. We don't even know what the guzheng is. Therefore, the sales of his guzheng works will definitely not be too high. Next week he will be completely defeated on the sales chart..."
…
However, some classical music media also said: "It is very normal that the sales of classical music are not high. I admire Professor Wang Qian for playing classical music on this stage. This shows that his soul has not been completely eroded by money. The artistry in his soul is still there. I hope he can keep this original intention..."
…
Many passers-by also joined the discussion.
However, many passers-by in Europe and the United States were just there to watch the fun, and many of Wang Qian's fans expressed regret.
"What is a guzheng? I look forward to Wang Qian's performance. His piano music is the best I've ever heard. I think this guzheng won't be bad either."
"What a shame. I thought he would come out with a new rock single this weekend. That would be great."
"Well, my interest in the weekend performances has dropped dramatically. I hope Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori's performances can bring some surprises."
“Is the Guzheng a Chinese musical instrument?”
…
There was cheering on the Chinese Internet.
The official China Voice promotion was simultaneous with the official World Championship promotion, so domestic audiences also knew the news first and supported Wang Qian online.
"I always thought that Professor Wang had forgotten his roots by singing English songs! I admit that I was wrong about Professor Wang. I am waiting for Professor Wang's guzheng performance."
"Wow, a guzheng piece that hasn't been released yet? I can't wait."
"Professor Wang, is there anything you can't play? Piano, guitar, violin, pipa, guzheng...what else?"
"Professor Wang's classical music is what I'm most looking forward to. Who else is this world-class master of music and art?"
"Just wait!"
"Come on, Professor Wang."
"Professor Wang is finally going to promote Chinese music on the world stage. I'm so excited. Professor Wang is worthy of being Professor Wang. Come on."
…
At this time, Wang Qian suddenly received a call.
It's from China.
Jiang Yu’s mother, He Chaohui from the Central Conservatory of Music!
Wang Qian answered the call and said with a smile, "Good morning, Director He."
He Chaohui also smiled and said, "It's getting late here. Professor Wang, are you sure about the Guzheng performance this weekend?"
Wang Qian replied softly, "A little bit, we'll see how it goes when the time comes."
He Chaohui: "We all support you. The school has decided to organize all teachers and students to watch your performance together this weekend. This is a global performance. It is initially estimated that at least 2 billion people will watch it. Come on!"
Wang Qian: "Thank you Director He for your concern. I know."
He Chaohui: "Then I won't say any more. I hope your performance in the world competition goes well. As for other matters, we can discuss them in detail when you return home."
Wang Qian: "Okay, goodbye Director He."
He Chaohui: "Goodbye!"
Put down the phone.
Wang Qian felt a little pressured.
He could roughly imagine that several major classical music academies in the country would definitely pay close attention to his guzheng performances.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang again.
The call came from the Magic City Conservatory of Music...
A few minutes later, Wang Qian hung up the phone.
The idea is similar. Moyin will also organize teachers and students to watch Wang Qian's performances on weekends and cheer for Wang Qian...
Then, Wang Qian looked at the phone and silently counted the time in his heart.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the phone rang again.
This is a call from Zhejiang Conservatory of Music.
Similarly, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music will also organize teachers and students to watch Wang Qian's performances...
After chatting for a while, Wang Qian put down the phone and sighed in his heart, knowing that several famous classical universities in the country have placed a lot of expectations on him!
Why is it that there are no classical musicians in China who have such a great influence in the world? Especially musicians who are good at Chinese classical instruments! Although the world-class pianist in China is also extremely successful internationally, he is also a piano artist and is not good at folk music!
Wang Qian is not only a piano artist, but also played a master-level pipa solo in front of the whole world in the classroom of Curtis Institute, showing the unique music art of China to the world. This has special significance in China's government and the public, and is also extremely meaningful to several major classical music colleges! Now, Wang Qian will play a guzheng solo on a bigger stage.
to be honest……
Wang Qian knew that the Central Conservatory of Music, the Magic Conservatory of Music, and the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music would definitely be very excited.
Who knows, when he returns, he will be given a few more titles such as Master of Folk Music and Professor of Folk Music.
Qin Xuerong had been listening to Wang Qian's call with her ears perked up. When she saw Wang Qian put down the phone, she said with a little pride: "The country is very supportive of you. Come on!"
Wang Qian smiled: "Of course, I also want the whole world to hear the sound of the guzheng."
Qin Xuerong smiled sweetly.
Wang Qian picked up his phone and looked at the latest updated pop music sales chart.
The overall chart records not only the weekly sales of new songs, but also the weekly sales chart of all music.
The number one ranking is, of course, Wang Qian’s don’t cry. In the time it took Wang Qian to get up and have a meal, sales increased by several million, reaching over 230 million!
The second one, Someone Like You, has sales of over 215 million, and the growth rate is still impressive!
The third rock single sales reached over 207 million.
Kristen, which ranks fourth, still has sales of over 130 million, less than 140 million. Looking at this growth rate, it is very uncertain whether it can exceed 200 million on the first day.
The fifth-placed Sofie had sales of over 126 million.
Christine ranked sixth with sales of 115 million!
Sophie ranked seventh with sales of 105 million, and Sophie's work ranked eighth with sales of 104 million! The works with sales of over 100 million are still only ranked eighth, and Adam ranked ninth with sales of more than 80 million, less than 90 million. Many people who support Adam are secretly anxious and hope that the sales of his works can increase faster.
The sales of the tenth Elizabeth just exceeded 80 million!
At the 17th place, Wang Qian’s name appeared again. It was last week’s work, Viva La Vida. The first-day sales of the second week were still a shocking 44 million...
In the top 20, Wang Qian's three competition works from last week also appeared here, with sales of more than 10 million each! In the weekly sales chart, Wang Qian's name occupies seven of the top 30 lists, which makes many professional musicians and singers feel helpless. They don't know why so many people still download Wang Qian's previous works.
Wang Qian himself was a little surprised when he saw it, but he didn't think it was too strange and he quickly accepted it. After all, they were all time-tested classics, so it was normal for them to have long-lasting sales. Moreover, the ranking was not high, only a dozen or twenty or so, which was nothing.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Wang Qian's phone rang again.
Wang Qian was surprised when he saw the name on the phone. He glanced at Qin Xuerong who was busy operating the phone to discuss the contract, and finally answered the call.
It was Sophie calling.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Sophie said directly: "You didn't expect me to call you? I dreamed about you last night."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that, but I think you must have something important to do."
Wang Qian knew Sophie very well and knew that Sophie would not cause him any trouble. If she came to him at this time, there must be something wrong.
Sophie immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I saw the official announcement of your performance information, saying that you will play a guzheng piece. I also want to play a piano piece, and I am a little tired of singing."
Compared to pop music, Sophie actually prefers classical music.
Wang Qian said directly: "Okay."
Sophie: "Well, that's no problem. I want to play your music."
Wang Qian: "No problem, I'll give you the authorization."
Sophie: “Haha, thank you.”
Wang Qian: “You’re welcome!”
The two of them finished discussing business in a very polite and official manner.
Wang Qian put down the phone, feeling an urge to play a song with Sophie on stage.
He felt that Sophie was definitely the person who understood him best in music.
In another room.
Sophie smiled after hanging up the phone. She came to the lounge and sat in front of the piano specially sent by the agency. Sophie gently moved her hands across the piano keys, and notes flowed out one by one, playing Wang Qian's very famous piano piece in North America, Girl's Prayer.
Soon, the song ended. Sophie was quite satisfied with her performance. She picked up the phone and called her agent. She said directly: "Inform the program team that I will play a piano piece in the performance after the official competition."
After saying that, Sophie hung up the phone and continued to play the piano.
…
In another manor in Los Angeles, many big-name singers from Europe and the United States were indeed very excited at this moment.
because!
They all saw the news that Wang Qian's performance this weekend would be to play guzheng music instead of pop songs.
This will be a great opportunity for them!
Robert said loudly, "I will continue to release new songs next week. I suggest that everyone continue to release their carefully prepared works to teach Wang Qian a lesson! Classical music can no longer dominate the charts. We must make his name appear outside the top ten!"
A producer also said: "Yes, classical music cannot have high sales. Although it is unfair for us to beat him like this, who cares? As long as we suppress his name outside the top ten, then he is a loser, and he was defeated by ten of us!"
Several other superstars, as well as first- and second-tier big-name singers, were all very excited after listening to it.
Look at Wang Qian's booming sales this week. All three singles sold over 200 million copies in half a day, dominating the top three positions on the chart, suppressing everyone else and leaving no hope of surpassing them.
If Wang Qian falls out of the top ten next week, it will definitely be a big blow.
They can use the public opinion of the company behind them to launch a counterattack and create a crazy rhythm to hit Wang Qian's popularity.
O'Connor said: "Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Wang Qian gave us the opportunity himself. We can't miss it, otherwise we will be sorry for him."
Yunna whispered, "As far as I know, Christine and Ellie will release a song together next week, and they will definitely beat Wang Qian. Sophie, Adam, and Elizabeth will definitely beat Wang Qian too!"
Everyone laughed happily.
They witnessed Wang Qianxin's miraculous sales in the new week and were already devastated and ready to lie down and accept reality.
As a result, now that Wang Qian himself gave them the opportunity, they all became excited again.
Although it is natural that pop music beats classical music in sales, it is nothing to brag about.
But as long as Wang Qian’s name is there, it means something different to them.
European and American music circles have suffered from Wang Qian for a long time! European and American musicians have suffered from Wang Qian for a long time!
They were all eager to stand up.
Everyone raised their glasses and cheered in advance.
Of course, their gathering today was a celebration in itself.
Celebrate that they all made money.
No matter how bad their rankings are this week, their sales have hit career highs and they have made a ton of money, which is worth celebrating.
Now it’s time to celebrate next week…
…
Just when many people around the world were discussing Wang Qian.
Wang Qian himself did not even leave the hotel. He was actually resting in the hotel room. During dinner time, he called the band members to have dinner together and chat for a while. Everyone was very happy, not only because of the sales breakthrough, but also because of Wang Qian's guzheng solo.
Jiang Yu and Juliet were especially excited. After all, they both preferred classical music. They were very interested in Wang Qian's guzheng performance and couldn't wait to go on stage and play with Wang Qian.
We had a relaxing meal together and chatted for a while.
After the party, it was already very late when Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong returned to the hotel together.
Today is coming to an end.
Qin Xuerong reported, "I have almost checked the contracts, and there are no problems. I will print them out later, and after you sign, I will send them overnight, and they will officially take effect at that time."
Wang Qian nodded while lying on the sofa. He had no objection to this and trusted Qin Xuerong completely: “No problem!”
Wang Qian took out his mobile phone to check today's weekly sales list.
As soon as you turn on your phone!
Wang Qian could feel the madness of the European and American media.
