Chapter 421 420. He is the God who controls destiny! Adam still wants to be the best newcomer?
Too exaggerated!
This is the unanimous opinion of many pop music industry insiders and many media when they see the pop music weekly sales chart!
They have used so many words like miracle and incredible that they are no longer enough to express the shock they feel.
They are now using adjectives such as "extremely exaggerated" to describe the latest sales figures on the charts.
It's the weekend already, and there's only half a day left before the week ends.
This half day will not increase sales much.
Moreover, the rankings and the like were almost settled from the first day, and almost no one surpassed those in front of them in the next few days.
Especially the top ten rankings are the most stable.
After a week, there was no change, the only thing that changed was the long number behind each piece.
A few days after Monday and Tuesday, everyone began to shift their attention and gradually ignored the list.
By the weekend, when everyone paid attention to the list again, they were shocked by the accumulated numbers of the songs on it after a week.
Ellie said on her Twitter: "This week's sales are too exaggerated, especially the top ten. I don't know how to describe it. My sales can only be ranked 15th. In the past, I would definitely not accept it. But now looking at the sales figures in front, I am convinced. They are all too amazing. Especially Professor Wang Qian, I admire you the most. You are my idol."
After Ally's single sales exceeded 100 million last week, her status in the European and American music scene leapt to that of a queen. She also attracted many fans and was called by many as the queen-level singer second only to Kristen.
This week, Elle's sales far exceeded last week's results. By noon this weekend, the cumulative sales had reached more than 190 million. She was only 7 million away from 200 million. Unfortunately, she failed to do so this week. However, it also completely established Elle's position as the queen of the music world, and she is the queen second only to Kristen. She has appeared frequently in various media and on television this week.
And now Ai Li publicly said that Wang Qian is her idol, so his influence is still not small.
certainly……
This situation is not unique.
For example, Green, who ranked 16th, also publicly said on his Facebook account: "Professor Wang Qian is already invincible in terms of commercial performance. What he lacks now is a champion album and a Grammy Award to prove himself. However, I think these two things are as easy for him as eating and drinking. If he wants, he can get them. I officially released my first song this week, and many elements of it were influenced by Professor Wang Qian. He is half of my music teacher."
Green is the runner-up of The Voice of North America and is also quite famous in North America because of her legendary experience. She was a science genius and only started studying music halfway through her career, but she made it all the way to the finals before losing to Adam.
With her top-notch looks, explosive body, and the aura of a top student from a prestigious school, Green has a lot of fans in North America. The song she released this time incorporates Wang Qian's rock style, and the cumulative sales have reached 170 million. The first official single to debut has such explosive sales, breaking the historical record of European and American pop music.
Green became popular as soon as he debuted and instantly accumulated a large number of fans all over the world.
However, despite her achievements and popularity, she also publicly stated that she is Wang Qian's student.
Many of her fans and professionals did not refute it.
because……
Everyone can hear that Green's official debut single does contain a lot of rock elements, which is completely different from Green's previous style. It is obvious that this change was only recently incorporated. No one would believe that he was not influenced by Wang Qian.
Therefore, what Green said about himself being Wang Qian’s student was true.
Moreover, neither Green nor many of her fans and industry insiders think that being Wang Qian's student is a shameful identity.
Many musicians and producers are frantically analyzing and hyping this week's sales charts in order to attract traffic.
Winston, a top producer who still cooperates with Adam, also publicly said on his social account: "The sales of Professor Wang Qian's song are very exaggerated. It can be said that he has once again single-handedly raised the entire world's music market to a higher level! Sales of more than 500 million to nearly 600 million in a single week is an unimaginable exaggerated number. However, this is what Professor Wang Qian deserves... He deserves such an achievement, he deserves everyone's support, and I also contributed to his sales."
After Winston sent this message, he turned around and said to Adam, who was taking a break at the door of the recording studio, "Wang Qian's sales are indeed exaggerated. No, it can be said that the sales of the top 20 this week are extremely exaggerated, including you, Adam! Your name will also be recorded in history. A single has sold over 200 million copies in a single week. Only a few people in history have done it. Last week, only Wang Qian and Christine did it. This week, there are Sophie, you, and Elizabeth!"
"God, I've been making music for so many years and I never thought something this horrible would happen."
Adam put down the music sheet in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "It's really terrifying! Wang Qian's three works all sold over 500 million in a single week. By the way, have you seen Green's sales?"
Winston nodded. "I see. Over 170 million! She set a sales record for a debut single. She's really amazing."
Adam whispered, "Can I get sales like this when I debut?"
Adam's tone was a little weak and his confidence was lacking.
It is not known when his official debut single will be released.
Green does not have the halo of a world championship player, and has never performed on the world championship stage, but he can still achieve such high sales. This is definitely a reflection of his strength and personal charm. Many powerful queens and kings who came after him do not have such high sales.
Adam felt that even if he released his works independently without the halo of the world championship, he might not be able to achieve such high sales.
The influence of the World Championship is too great.
Winston thought for a moment and said, "If we release it too late, it will be difficult to achieve such high sales. Now is the period of explosive growth in the world pop music market, surpassing any pop music event in history. More than half of the world's population is listening to music."
"Therefore, the works produced by each singer can have very good sales. Even the weekly sales of the 20th place singer have exceeded 90 million. This was unimaginable before. They should all thank Wang Qian and the world competition program team."
"But this situation can't continue forever. After the World Championship, everyone's enthusiasm for listening to music will gradually cool down, and the pop music market will also usher in a period of decline! The sales volume at that time will definitely be much lower than it is now..."
Adam frowned and said, "So we are also going to officially debut and release our works during the World Championship?"
Winston also frowned and said, "Isn't it too hasty? After tonight's game, next week will be the finals, which is the last performance. We have to finish the production next week and release the song right after the finals the week after next?"
Adam nodded. "Yes, this is the only way to not miss the world competition. I know I may not get a good ranking, but it doesn't matter as long as the sales are high enough. Just like Green now, she is only ranked in the top ten, but her sales are as high as 170 million. She is the biggest winner besides the four of us, and she gained more than Kristen and Ellie."
"If my debut album doesn't sell more than hers, I may not win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist next year."
Grammy Best New Artist? Winston stared at Adam in surprise, "Adam, you want to compete for the Grammy Best New Artist next year?"
Adam nodded: "Yes..."
Winston smiled bitterly and said, "You only saw Green? Man, look, Wang Qian and Sophie haven't debuted yet... They will definitely release their debut albums this year. Can you compete with them?"
Adam fell silent for a moment, a blush of embarrassment appearing on his face.
He instinctively only saw the newcomers who had debuted, among whom Green was the biggest threat, and did not think of Wang Qian and Sophie who were still on the court.
Moreover, he really didn't regard Wang Qian as a newcomer.
Think about it carefully...
Wang Qian just debuted last year and only appeared to the world at the World Championships. Isn’t he a newcomer? A newcomer who hasn’t even released an album…
As soon as the World Championship is over, Wang Qian and Sophie will definitely take advantage of the popularity of the World Championship to debut as soon as possible.
Who can snatch the Best Newcomer of the Year award from these two? When Adam thought of Wang Qian, he felt a huge pressure that was suffocating, and when he thought of Sophie, he felt fascinated...
Winston did not continue to attack Adam. He patted Adam on the shoulder and said, "Adam, you are from the same era as Wang Qian and Sophie. You can be said to be eternal rivals. Therefore, it may be difficult for you to get good rankings and awards from them in the future... You should get used to it slowly now, be more open-minded, and don't think too much. You are already one of the best. Even if you don't win an award, your sales will definitely not be bad, and the money you earn will be enough to make you one of the richest people in Hollywood."
Adam smiled bitterly and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone. On the latest sales list, Wang Qian’s three works were at the top, as if pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Winston continued, "Prepare well for tonight's performance. Tonight may be your last chance to perform on the Voice of China World Competition stage. Moreover, tonight Wang Qian will only play a Chinese guzheng piece that no one understands, rather than commercial pop music. This is an opportunity for all of you. His guzheng piece is destined not to have very good sales and popularity, which gives you a chance!"
Adam nodded deeply: "Okay, we need to rehearse urgently!"
Guzheng music?
What is Guzheng? Adam shook his head. He was not interested in Chinese classical music and did not have time to learn more about it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Whatever it is, classical music will never surpass the audience of pop music in the market.
He has a chance to beat Wang Qian in this guzheng piece next week.
This is his only chance to beat Wang Qian in sales since the World Championship.
Even though he has been eliminated.
He must also grasp it.
…
When Wang Qian looked at the sales figures on the list, he also felt that they were a bit exaggerated.
The upper limit of the European and American markets is still higher...
Of course, the first place is still his work, don't cry, which has accumulated sales of 590 million, just 9 million away from 600 million. This sales figure once again crushed the sales record he created at the top of the list last week, raising the highest weekly sales record by 300 million! However...
What's even more exaggerated is.
The second place, Someone Like You, had sales of 575 million, only 15 million away from the first place.
Smells Like Teen Spirit ranked third, with sales of over 550 million! The combined sales of Wang Qian's three songs in a single week totaled 1.7 billion!
Wang Qian’s works are priced at one dollar per song on the download platform without any discounts. This means that the sales figures of these three works from this week to now have reached 1.7 billion US dollars...
No wonder the Wall Street Journal has featured Wang Qian and the sales figures of his works on its cover many times. Even the financial giants feel ashamed of themselves in the face of such a fast pace of making money.
Of course, Wang Qian definitely didn’t get that much, but even if it was only one-third, it would still be nearly 600 million US dollars. What else would he want?
but!
The Wall Street Journal also listed the sales of Wang Qian's other works this week, and the total downloads reached about 400 million, which means sales of 400 million US dollars. Add to that the 1.7 billion sales of the three new works, and the total sales is 2.1 billion US dollars.
The Wall Street Journal said: Wang Qian from China has made the entire online music market active by himself. All stocks related to pop music have gone crazy! The market value of the largest music download platform in Europe and the United States has increased by 50 billion US dollars. Counting Wang Qian's sales, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Qian is their God...
Wang Qian could now understand why the largest online music download platform in Europe and the United States had been frantically looking for Qin Xuerong through various channels recently, wanting to sign an exclusive contract with him.
The contract has even been given to the point of having no bottom line. The profit margin is given directly as 100%, and they don't want a penny. In addition, they pay a signing fee of 30 million US dollars per year. The signing fee has been reduced, but the profit margin is given directly as well. The other party is equivalent to working completely for Wang Qian, being Wang Qian's money-making tool and even paying him money.
Wang Qian put himself in the other person's shoes and thought that if he were the other person, he would also sign an exclusive contract with himself at all costs.
If Wang Qian leaves the platform, their market value will definitely plummet, and the loss will not be measurable in billions of dollars, but will start at at least tens of billions of dollars.
so……
Wang Qian is indeed their God now, and temporarily holds the life and death of many of them in his hands.
However, Wang Qian still let Qin Xuerong reject them and refused to negotiate the contract with them no matter how much they offered.
but.
Wang Qian was secretly surprised when he saw the sales of others behind him.
Kristen ranked fourth with sales of more than 370 million, which also set a personal record for highest sales. She is also the second singer after Wang Qian to have sales of over 300 million in a single week, making her a historical figure.
The third singer to achieve single sales of over 300 million in the first week is Sophie, who is in fifth place with sales of 350 million, setting this record at the youngest age.
The sixth place is still Kristen, whose sales also exceeded 300 million, reaching 340 million. Both of her singles sold over 300 million, which was a huge explosion. The entire European and American music scene was hyping Kristen.
but……
The sales of Sophie's seventh and eighth singles were also not bad, all of which exceeded 300 million, reaching about 310 million. She is also the object of hype in the European and American music scene. Her future potential and prospects are even better than Kristen!
Ninth is Adam, with sales reaching 280 million. He is one level lower than Kristen, but he also absolutely amazed the entire world music scene!
The sales of Elizabeth, which ranked tenth, also reached 260 million, setting a new record...
…
Wang Qian looked down!
Then he opened China's Qianqian Jingting.
My fellow countrymen, you are still awesome.
