Chapter 422 421. China is so awesome! Is this another eternal moment recorded in history? (Subscribe)
The overall sales volume of the European and American music markets has risen again to a higher level compared to last week, and the market capacity seems to have no limit.
It was beyond everyone's imagination, including Wang Qian's own.
The weekly sales of the top-ranked album can reach an incredible 590 million.
but……
What Wang Qian didn't expect was.
The sales of Hua Xia Qian Qian Jing Ting did not disappoint him.
The folks in his hometown really support him with all their might.
Even though the sales on European and American music platforms have been so horrific, the sales in the Chinese market have not been dragged down and it still maintains the lead. Even if the lead is extremely slight, it has been leading like this and it seems that there will never be a limit.
Don't Cry also tops the list, with sales also reaching a terrifying 595 million. It still maintains a slight lead over the European and American markets, only leading by less than 4 million sales, which is almost negligible compared to the terrifying total sales, but it still maintains the lead.
Similarly, the sales of the second-ranked Someone Like You also reached a terrifying 590 million, which is slightly ahead of the sales in the European and American markets.
The rock single ranked third, with sales reaching over 580 million, also leads the European and American markets! Wang Qian was deeply moved when he saw this, which was a heavy support and trust.
Sophie's best-selling single on Qianqian Jingting just reached 150 million, far lower than Wang Qian's sales.
It can be seen that many people in the country are blindly supporting him.
Wang Qian clicked on the comment section of Qian Qian Jingting's work and saw the cheers from many fans.
"Brothers and sisters, keep working hard. We are about to win. It is basically impossible for the sales in Europe and the United States to surpass ours. We just need to hold on."
"If anyone knows someone who hasn't registered a Qianqian Jingting account yet, please invite them to register. It only takes a few dollars to support Professor Wang. In addition, Qianqian Jingting has an official promotion right now, offering a 10% cashback for recharging."
"Professor Wang's songs are so good, I have recommended them to our whole class, and more than half of the students have downloaded them. We are all supporting Professor Wang."
"I posted a video on DouYue calling on everyone to support Professor Wang, and many people responded..."
"Many of Professor Wang's Weibo fans came over."
"Huaxia is Professor Wang's hometown. We are Professor Wang's biggest supporter. We must let the world see our support for Professor Wang."
"It's a pity that I can't download it multiple times, otherwise I really want to recharge 1 million and download all of Professor Wang's songs directly..."
"Professor Wang, we will definitely support you..."
…
Wang Qian was very moved when he saw these lovely fans. He asked Qin Xuerong beside him, "Xuerong, has Lao Xu reported on Qian Qian Jingting's situation in the past two days?"
Qin Xuerong nodded. "Yes, Lao Xu told me this morning. The number of users of Qianqian Jingting is still increasing rapidly. It has exceeded 650 million users and the number of recharged members has reached 630 million, far exceeding expectations. Therefore, he launched a 10% discount activity for recharges."
Wang Qian said: "Everyone is so supportive of me."
Qin Xuerong said affirmatively: "Of course, now almost everyone in the country supports you. Qianqian Jingting has benefited the most from this and has now become a giant in the Internet. Those capital giants are looking for Lao Xu every day like crazy, and he said he can't hold on any longer."
Wang Qian: "There's nothing that can't be sustained, just put it all aside for now and wait until I get back."
Qin Xuerong: "Yes, that's what I told him. He said Tencent gave a valuation of 60 billion US dollars yesterday and invested 6 billion US dollars. We can allocate the funds as we like, either for financing or selling shares to cash out. Alibaba gave a higher valuation and didn't want the music market to fall into Tencent's control again, so it gave a valuation of 70 billion US dollars and invested 6.5 billion US dollars for only 9% of the shares!"
"Many people said they were crazy. Lao Xu said the two companies were very sincere and were even willing to accept B shares, just to get in. If they were willing to talk, this was not the highest price. Lao Xu estimated that the valuation could exceed 80 billion US dollars, which was really crazy."
Wang Qian was a little shocked and shaken when he heard the estimate, but then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll talk about it after I get back."
Wang Qian's plan is to go back and produce an electronic album for the world, release it on Qianqian Jingting, and directly enter the international market. With his current popularity around the world, he may attract many international users. At that time, the value of Qianqian Jingting will leap to a higher level again.
Now, that’s not enough!
Let users fly for a while...
Let the valuation fly higher.
Qin Xuerong immediately skipped the matter of Qian Qian Jingting and said, "By the way, DouYue said that the international version of the software has been released. It is named FeiYue, which means take-off! It is released in the name of a new company. The contract has been sent to me. After signing the contract, we will officially start cooperation."
Wang Qian also remembered this incident.
The World Championship has progressed to this point and there is not much time left.
If you want to attract traffic, you have to hurry up.
Wang Qian immediately said, "Okay, get the contract done as soon as possible today. The first live broadcast after the performance tonight will be on Feiyue."
Qin Xuerong: "Okay, then I'll go and finalize the contract now."
Wang Qian patted Qin Xuerong on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Xuerong has almost become Wang Qian's agent and part-time nanny recently. She has to worry about all the big and small matters in Wang Qian's business and life, which is really tiring.
However, Qin Xuerong enjoyed it and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go get busy!"
After saying that, Qin Xuerong kissed Wang Qian lightly on the forehead, turned around and walked out.
Wang Qian also walked out of the lounge, waved to Jiang Yu who was chatting with Murong Yue and Juliet outside, and said, "Jiang Jiang, come here!"
Jiang Yu looked surprised. He stood up and walked over to Wang Qian with a little trepidation. He didn't dare to look at Wang Qian and whispered, "Professor Wang, what's the matter?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Yu mustered up the courage to look up at Wang Qian, his eyes still evasive, and shook his head, "I'm not afraid!"
However, Jiang Yu's face turned rosy.
Wang Qian ignored all this and whispered, "I discussed this with Director Zhou this morning and asked the program team for five minutes. I want to give you these five minutes to perform a piano piece on stage. Do you have the confidence?"
Forehead……
Jiang Yu was stunned. He stopped looking away and stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes.
Murong Yue, Juliet, Zhao Wei and He Fulin, who were eavesdropping not far away, also looked at Jiang Yu with envy!
Solo...
On a stage watched by the whole world.
Is there anything more attractive to them than this?
Perhaps, in the field of art, the world competition stage is not as high-end as the Vienna Golden Hall, Buckingham Palace, Versailles Palace and other famous music and art performance halls.
but……
In terms of worldwide attention.
Today’s Voice of China World Championship stage is miles ahead of these places.
Are those musical artists who came from all over North America and all over the world to watch the performance at The Voice World Championship really just there to watch Wang Qian and Sophie’s music?
Obviously not!
The vast majority of them come here with the intention of taking advantage of the popularity and increasing their own fame and exposure.
Everything is for profit!
Artists also need to eat, and of course they want to make more money.
Even Sophie's father, Marlon, is the same, except that Marlon is more concerned about the reputation of the school rather than simply for his own interests.
If the program team invited any music artist gathered in Los Angeles to perform, no one would refuse and would definitely agree immediately.
pity……
The program team only invited Taylor!
The official answer is of course because Taylor is now the youngest pianist in North America.
But, in fact, it is due to many reasons!
One is Taylor who came from Curtis, and Wang Qian is also a current professor at Curtis.
Another more important reason is that Taylor's family is very unusual and has a considerable influence on the program team.
Therefore, the program team invited a young pianist like Taylor to perform! As a result, several old pianists in North America have criticized Taylor in recent days, saying that Taylor is too utilitarian, does not study music art well, and will have limited achievements in the future.
Taylor remained silent and low-key, did not refute or speak, just silently prepared for the performance!
Wang Qian knew how hard Jiang Yu worked and how terrifyingly his strength had improved, so he fought for a chance for Jiang Yu this morning. He didn't want Jiang Yu to be buried any more!
If anyone else made such a request to the program team, they would definitely be kicked out immediately.
but……
Wang Qian proposed it, and after Zhou Qinghua relayed it, the program team agreed after only a few minutes of discussion, but set the time at the last minute to give Wang Qian face.
Anyway, the program crew didn’t lose anything from this, but instead gained an opportunity to hype themselves up!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Because Jiang Yu's piano accompaniment for Wang Qian's "Someone Like You" last week became world-famous and proved her ability. Many people around the world have noticed her.
It’s just that the halos of Wang Qian, Christine, Sophie and others are too dazzling, so there is almost no news about Jiang Yu.
In fact, Jiang Yu has also gained considerable fame in the classical music circles in Europe and the United States.
After all, the influence of The Voice of China World Competition is so huge. Jiang Yu's performance demonstrated the piano playing level of a world-class master, which has been seen by many music artists.
Also, Jiang Yu standing next to Wang Qian also has a little aura bonus.
When Jiang Yu was stunned, Murong Yue ran over and said excitedly: "Wow, so amazing? Jiang Jiang will have a chance to perform solo?"
Juliet looked at Jiang Yu with envy! This meant that Wang Qian had completely acknowledged Jiang Yu's piano proficiency.
And Juliet has not yet been recognized by Wang Qian.
Juliet looked at Wang Qian deeply.
Wang Qian still looked at Jiang Yu and asked with a smile: "Jiang Jiang, how is it?"
Jiang Yu came to his senses and said in a panic, "But, but, I'm not prepared at all and the performance is about to begin. What if I mess it up?"
Wang Qian reached out and hugged Jiang Yu: "Jiang Jiang, I taught you, I have confidence in you! You don't need to prepare much. Do you see the piano over there? Go, play a song for Xue Rong!"
Jiang Yu breathed in the scent of Wang Qian and hurried to the piano. Afraid that he would fall into Wang Qian's arms involuntarily, he sat down in front of the piano excitedly, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and asked eagerly, "Then let me try?"
Wang Qian nodded affirmatively: "Okay, we all support you."
Murong Yue, Juliet, Zhao Wei, He Fulin and others all applauded Jiang Yu softly.
Jiang Yu had completely calmed down. He sat in front of the piano to brew his emotions. Then his whole aura changed. He put his hands on the piano and began to play an extremely familiar piano piece "Zhi Xuerong".
Jiang Yu practices this piano piece several times every day.
She liked it very much. She liked the faint longing and love in it, with a hint of sadness and joy, just like when she was thinking of Wang Qian.
So, she played with great devotion.
Several people who were listening around were instantly infected.
Juliet was extremely shocked. She felt that Jiang Yu's performance of this piece was even better than the last time he accompanied Wang Qian. He was almost as good as the top ten pianists in the world. She couldn't help but get immersed in the piece, as if he was acting out his own performance. It was only slightly worse than when Wang Qian played it himself.
Such a level of piano playing convinced Juliet and made her feel inferior. She looked at Wang Qian again with even greater admiration in her heart.
She knew that Jiang Yu's progress was brought about by Wang Qian.
Jiang Yu’s own strength and talent are certainly important, but Wang Qian’s good teaching is more important.
As the old Chinese saying goes, there are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers!
Jiang Yu finished his song! Murong Yue clapped excitedly, even happier than when she was on stage: "Jiang Jiang, you are amazing. Really, amazing. My God, I didn't know you have improved so much in the past six months."
Murong Yue rushed over and hugged Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu also looked at Wang Qian with a smile. Seeing Wang Qian nodding to him with a smile on his face, he felt satisfied.
Juliet stood beside Wang Qian and asked, "Professor, can I do this too?"
Wang Qian said softly: "Logically speaking, you can do better!"
Juliet's pretty face was full of surprise: "Really?"
Wang Qian: “If you work hard enough!”
Juliet nodded affirmatively: "I will definitely work hard!"
Wang Qian walked up to Jiang Yu and said, "How about you practice a little more in the afternoon and play this piece in the evening?"
Jiang Yu hummed, embarrassed to look at Wang Qian, and whispered: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After lunch.
Wang Qian and Jiang Yu each started practicing to prepare for their performance, while the others began to rest.
After practicing for another two hours...
The group set off.
He got on the nanny car specially prepared by the program team and headed to the performance venue, the Staples Center! As soon as Wang Qian's nanny car set off, it was captured by many media reporters who were squatting outside, and they took photos and recorded them and published them.
Then, the news that Wang Qian was heading to the performance venue spread throughout the world within a minute, and many audiences who were looking forward to Wang Qian's performance sat in front of the TV waiting for the show to start.
When Wang Qian's nanny car appeared at the performance venue, the place was already blocked with tens of thousands of people crowded around it.
Hundreds of security guards were unable to maintain order, and there were many uniformed teams from Los Angeles patrolling outside to prevent anything from happening! Wang Qian sat in the car and did not go out. He looked out the window at the densely packed media outside, as well as some fans interacting with him.
The car moved forward slowly with hundreds of security guards clearing the way.
Wang Qian did not draw down the curtains, but waved to the people outside through the glass.
There was immediate cheering outside.
then……
Some singing broke out from the crowd.
"never mind, I'll find someone like you..."
Then, it was as if something opened.
Many people sang along.
Just like the last time Wang Qian appeared, many people sang the lyrics of his viva la vida together.
this time……
Many fans sang the lyrics of this song which made many of them sad.
someone like you!
The song instantly swept the whole audience!
Hundreds and thousands of media outlets around were frantically taking photos and recording this scene.
This may become another eternal moment in the history of pop music.
