Chapter 445 444. The music boom 20 years ahead of schedule! There is no one so awesome! (Subscribe)

The entire world's music scene has been activated because of Wang Qian and the World Championships, and the consumption of the pop music market has increased horribly! But...

The growth of China's pop music market is even more terrifying than that of the European and American markets.

because.

The Chinese pop music market has been in the exploration stage in recent years, and the knowledge of genuine copyright has not yet been popularized. Many people still have the basic understanding that everything on the Internet should be free. When they see that they have to pay to download music, TV and movies, watch movies and listen to music, they all mock the platforms for being money-grabbing.

Previously, the total number of paying users accumulated by the Tengfei platform over the years was only over 100 million, of which only half were active users who frequently recharged. Therefore, the highest monthly sales on the Tengfei platform were only 30 to 40 million downloads, and the highest weekly sales were only a pitiful 20 million.

However, China has a population of 1.4 billion. Excluding the elderly and children, more than half of the population are young and middle-aged people with consumption capacity, which is 700 to 800 million people.

visible!

Everyone knows that there is still huge potential to be tapped in the legitimate market for both music and film and television.

Therefore, capital is still looking forward to the future of the legitimate market. Major platforms are also constantly attracting legitimate users, promoting legitimate awareness, and promoting that the copyrights they purchase also cost money, and it is natural for users to pay for songs...

Although there are still many people who do not agree with this, do not accept it, insist on getting it for free, and refuse to listen or watch!

However, more and more people have recognized it and chosen to join the paying user group, becoming the choice to proudly support genuine products.

This process...

Many people in the industry believe that it may take one or two generations of persistence to establish the concept that genuine products require payment from an early age, so that everyone will naturally spend money to listen to music and watch TV, and then the entire entertainment market will usher in a period of explosive growth.

This is a very long-term investment. Several major video platforms and music platforms are waiting for that day to come. They will not be very profitable now and may even continue to lose money, but no one denies their future.

However, this future may take more than ten or even twenty years to arrive...

However, what many people did not expect was that

Wang Qian greatly shortened this time.

This day came so quickly and so suddenly.

In just one month, he accomplished what many people predicted would take more than ten or twenty years to accomplish.

Almost all the young and middle-aged people with purchasing power in China have been attracted to the Qianqian Jingting platform and have become recharging users and paying users who support genuine music.

The entire Chinese pop music market instantly grew from its infancy to an imaginary peak era. This is a glorious era that all musicians could not even dream of.

this……

The entire Chinese pop music market has become unprecedentedly prosperous, and all musicians, whether singers or behind the scenes, have become busy.

Many veteran singers who could only perform in variety shows before have turned down many variety show invitations and started to concentrate on making new songs. They have all released new works in the past week or two, catching up with this wave of market dividends. Most of them have achieved good results. Although they are far from comparable to Wang Qian, they all have at least 20 to 30 million download sales.

Of course, the platform they chose is Qianqian Jingting!

Previously, some big-name singers stubbornly chose Tengfei and received a higher signing fee, but the sales of their songs were far less than those of other familiar singers who released songs at the same time. There were several such examples, and then many big-name singers chose Qianqian Jingting and rejected Tengfei.

Even though Qianqian Jingting didn't receive a penny in signing fees and only had pure profit-sharing income, they would release songs on Qianqian Jingting without hesitation!

Because Qianqian Jingting’s revenue share may be more than ten times that of other platforms.

In just one month.

Qianqian Jingting has become the only dominant platform in the Chinese pop music market, completely leaving behind the former king, Tengfei.

Many big names and new talented singers have benefited from Qianqian Jingting. If their works become popular, they may achieve weekly sales of 60 to 70 million, and monthly sales of over 100 million. The benefits gained are enormous. Generally speaking, the sales can reach more than 20 to 30 million, and they can also gain a lot of benefits!

All record companies also benefited greatly from this. They suddenly transformed from a sunset industry into a hot spot and gained the favor of many investors.

but……

This time, no one will forget who they are benefiting from.

Therefore, with the support of veteran singers, Wang Qian has undoubtedly become the number one in the Chinese pop music scene. No one refutes it, and no one dares to refute it.

Everyone knows.

Follow Wang Qian to have meat to eat...

Most of the best-selling new songs on several major platforms imitate Wang Qian’s style, either rock or urban love songs...

Wang Qian took a quick look at the list on Qianqian Jingting and could see that there were several singles from well-known rock bands that had very good sales. They have become one of the most successful rock bands in the country, with single sales of more than 40 million last week.

Qin Xuerong's voice continued to be heard: "Old Xu said that Tengfei has sent a request for peace. They asked us not to kill them all. We have signed all the big-name singers. The only ones left are the singers with long-term contracts who cannot leave. The number of active users is also slowly decreasing."

"Qianqian Jingting is exerting a winner-takes-all siphon effect. Several other platforms used to have food to eat, but now it is difficult for them to survive under our platform. Most music users' first choice is to come to Qianqian Jingting to find new songs..."

Wang Qian looked at his own work and name at the top of the list and said softly, "Don't worry about it. Tencent is behind Tengfei, so it won't go bankrupt. The other platforms are also backed by giants. They may have faced crises due to the sluggish market before, but now the entire market is very hot. The giants behind them will not give up on them. Even if they make losses, they will give them money to keep their positions and complete their ecological chain."

"So, we don't have to worry about them going bankrupt and us forming a monopoly."

"Just let Lao Xu continue to develop step by step."

Qin Xuerong: "Okay, Lao Xu is just afraid that Tencent will give us a monopoly drama."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Tencent doesn't dare to play the monopoly game. They are afraid of getting burned!"

Wang Qian’s eyes were fixed on the numbers on Qian Qian Jingting’s list.

We will rock you. The accumulated sales volume has reached more than 350 million. The gap with the European and American markets is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the capacity of the Chinese market is tending to exceed that of the European and American markets.

However, for the time being, this market performance is only reflected in Wang Qian.

The download sales of Guzheng Music Storm have exceeded 290 million, and it will probably take no long to exceed 300 million, which is far higher than the sales in Europe and the United States.

Later, the sales of Miyuki Nakamori's single on Qianqianjingting exceeded 200 million, making her the first singer besides Wang Qian to achieve such high sales, much higher than Sophie, Elizabeth and others.

Sophie’s best-selling single has only sold over 90 million copies, not even 100 million!

It can be seen that Miyuki Nakamori's popularity in China far exceeds that of Sophie.

Especially this time, Miyuki Nakamori almost lost to Sophie because of her skin color, which aroused many people's rejection of Sophie and made them support Miyuki Nakamori more.

Wang Qian once again posted a message on Weibo: "Thank you all for your download support!"

Thank you everyone, and also completed the contract tasks with Weibo.

This simple sentence instantly received hundreds of thousands of reposts and likes, and the number of comments also soared, landing at the top of Weibo's hot list and becoming the hottest topic right now.

On the list of hot topics on Weibo, eight out of ten are related to Wang Qian, and the other two are promotions for the Spring Festival Gala and a domestic New Year film.

Wang Qian hadn't used Weibo for a long time and started to promote himself on all platforms. He finally managed to get the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's films on the hot list on Weibo, so that the upcoming Spring Festival Gala would not become a deserted party with no one paying attention.

Had breakfast!

Wang Qian began to complete today's work.

There is no need to rehearse today, so Wang Qian wants to complete the work required by the contract in advance, then have a good rest, and enter rehearsal preparation mode tomorrow to make final preparations for the finals at the weekend.

first.

Wang Qian opened the Feiyue platform, which was a huge success when it was launched last night, and started the live broadcast.

Because there was no prior publicity or warm-up.

Therefore, when Wang Qian started broadcasting, the number of people was not very large, only millions of viewers flocked to it! Then the Feiyue platform immediately promoted it, which immediately attracted almost all active users, as well as many other people who were waiting for Wang Qian's live broadcast.

In less than a minute, the number of people in the live broadcast room soared to hundreds of millions! In five minutes, the number of people online increased to 200 million...

In ten minutes, the number of people online reached 250 million! At this level, there was no more room for growth.

Wang Qian was not surprised by this, as the number had exceeded his expectations.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, it was already a night ago, and the popularity of his performance last night had passed, but he was still able to attract more than 200 million people to watch his live broadcast, proving that his popularity in Europe and the United States is also extremely exaggerated.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the number of people online was still at over 26 million.

Wang Qian talked to everyone about music and life, and finally ended the live broadcast!

The live broadcast lasted fifteen minutes, with a peak number of online users reaching 265 million, and the cumulative number of users entering the live broadcast room exceeded 350 million!

Qin Xuerong saw the data in the background and said to Wang Qian excitedly: "This second drainage exceeded expectations. I think the price you negotiated last night was too low."

"According to the latest news, the number of registered users on the Feiyue platform has exceeded 700 million worldwide, and users are extremely active. Posting daily videos on it has become a trend. Almost all the celebrities and internet celebrities in the European and American entertainment circles have joined the platform today. Some were invited by the platform, and some joined voluntarily."

"The Wall Street Journal said that this was the most successful business operation in the history of the Internet. It took only one day to go from zero to become a platform to compete with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!"

"All of this is brought about by you. ByteDance can't achieve such results unless they spend ten years operating it..."

Qin Xuerong's tone was a little excited, and she also felt sorry for Wang Qian! Because...

A platform that can compete with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube is of immeasurable value.

Those international capitals will definitely go crazy.

Wang Qian lay on the sofa and asked softly, "What is the current valuation? Has any capital come in?"

Qin Xuerong shook his head and said, "There is no confirmed statement yet, but according to the news in the capital circle, many international big investors have already contacted the company's headquarters in North America, wanting to invest! The initial valuation that has been reported is 5 billion US dollars! For a platform that has only been online for one day, it is a sky-high price."

"But everyone knows that this price is just a preliminary test, and it is definitely not a formal offer! A platform that has the potential to compete with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube cannot be measured by $5 billion, and adding a zero is not too much."

Qin Xuerong looked at Wang Qian and said, "Should we raise the price to ByteDance? Selling 20% ​​of the voting rights to them for only a few hundred million dollars is too cheap for them."

Wang Qian thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it! This is the price I offered, and they agreed to it. The contract has been almost negotiated, so I won't regret it. Let's just leave it at that. It's not a loss. After all, the shares are still in our hands, and we can sell them at a high price later!"

Qin Xuerong: "For such company shares, it is best to wait until they are listed before cashing out to maximize profits."

Wang Qian: "It would be best if we could wait until then, but if we need money recently, I don't mind cashing out some of it in advance..."

Qin Xuerong smiled and said, “If you release this news, those big investors in China and Europe and America will go crazy.”

Wang Qian looked at Qin Xuerong and smiled, "Qian Qian Jingting has driven them crazy, hasn't it?"

Qin Xuerong looked at Wang Qian with admiration.

There are only a few such unicorns in the entire history of the Internet, and in today's mature Internet, it is almost impossible to create such a super unicorn again.

but……

Wang Qian created two such super unicorns in succession by his own efforts in a short period of time.

There has never been such an awesome person in the entire history of the Internet.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Qin Xuerong looked at the vibrating phone and said in surprise, "ByteDance is quite conscientious. They took the initiative to suspend the contract. They said they would contact capital temporarily, and after the first round of bids are confirmed, they will purchase 20% of our equity or voting rights based on the first round of bids! They don't want us to suffer losses, and they want to have a sincere long-term cooperation with us."

"However, in order to ensure that we do not regret selling the shares to others, they have to sign an agreement with us to ensure that the transaction can be carried out at that time."

Wang Qian was slightly surprised: "Byte is so generous?"

Qin Xuerong shook her head: "It's not that they are generous, but they want more... They don't want to have any unpleasantness with us now. If you are unhappy with them, it may affect other cooperation."

Wang Qian thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized, "Are they thinking about Qian Qian Jingting?"

Qin Xuerong said affirmatively: "Geely wants to improve its ecosystem through short videos, so why doesn't ByteDance want to improve its own entertainment industry ecosystem?"

Wang Qian understood, and then said: "That's it! I have no reason to refuse the benefits they offer me. Let's sign an agreement to sell it to them first, and the price will be determined later. However, they have no chance of getting their hands on Qian Qian Jing Ting..."

Qin Xuerong was in a good mood: "Okay!"

With a relaxed mood, Wang Qian continued to broadcast on DouYue for another five minutes, and the peak number of online viewers exceeded 200 million!

Then, it was broadcast on Tencent’s Weishi for five minutes, and the peak number of online viewers exceeded 200 million.

Wang Qian's popularity and appeal seem to have stabilized.

Finished the work assignment.

Wang Qian lay lazily on the sofa and didn't want to move.

but……

Obviously, as the focus of the world's attention and expectations, he can't always be so comfortable.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The phone rings.

Zhou Qinghua came.

Wang Qian knew with his toes that Zhou Qinghua must have come to him again on behalf of the program team to discuss next week's performance.

What did the production team want to do? Wang Qian was also quite curious about this and answered the phone.
