Chapter 447 446. God, he made too much money! The first-day sales record was too good to be true!
The organizers of the World Championship program were shocked by the public opinion outside and felt some pressure!
Because...
This bonus amount is indeed too much.
However, the pace set by these media seems to be a little wrong?
Why do you say it's a prize for Chinese player Wang Qian? It's obviously the championship prize, okay?
The finals haven't started yet.
Why do you think Wang Qian will definitely be the champion? It makes it seem like there is something fishy going on with the production team.
Seeing that public opinion was taking a wrong turn, the program team immediately took action and brought Sophie out for some publicity. They didn't want everyone to have no suspense or expectations about the outcome, as that would affect the ratings.
so.
The program team immediately began to invest resources in Sophie.
"The ultimate showdown of geniuses in the history of pop music, and also the singing competition with the highest prize money! Wang Qian and Sophie, whoever wins will take home at least $500 million in prize money."
"Why do you all assume that Wang Qian took the prize money? Sophie also has a great chance of winning. Sophie is also a top talent and is not inferior to Wang Qian at all."
"Many big names in the music industry support Sophie to win the championship. They think Sophie is the most talented contestant, far superior to Wang Qian..."
"Wang Qian and Sophie have both started to prepare for the finals, and it will be an epic showdown for all of us."
"Call on everyone to vote for Sophie. It's better to give the championship to France than to let Wang Qian take it back to China!"
…
The duel between Sophie and Wang Qian began to be hyped, and with the public relations of the program team, it quickly became the mainstream of media reports and hype.
but……
Many media outlets are still seizing on the amount of the prize and Wang Qian's personal traits to hype the case.
Some media have suggested that perhaps $400 million to $500 million in prize money is nothing to Wang Qian. The Wall Street Journal listed a set of data: "The first song released by Wang Qian in Los Angeles has accumulated nearly 300 million downloads so far, and this is the lowest sales data during the World Championship. The sales of other works have been at least 300 million, and the highest has exceeded 500 million."
"There are only a dozen songs in total, but the total sales have exceeded 4 billion! You may not have any idea about this. The download price of each of Wang Qian's songs is one dollar. Isn't it terrifying if you calculate it this way? Yes, you calculated it correctly. During the world competition, he earned a total of more than 4 billion US dollars in sales, and he himself received at least 2 billion US dollars..."
"Looking at it this way, do you still think $400 million to $500 million is a lot for Wang Qian? Not really, because he has already earned more during the World Championships."
"This doesn't even include his download income in China, as well as the endorsement fees he recently received from Chinese Internet giants!"
"Preliminary estimates show that, with the revenue from his next two games, his pure revenue from his work will exceed $3 billion! If he wins the championship in the end, with the bonus, his total revenue may reach a terrifying $4 billion... What do you have to say about this?"
This professional financial media listed detailed data and made arguments.
Everyone who saw it knew that it was indeed true and was extremely shocked.
"My God, he actually made so much money from us? Among them, I contributed more than ten dollars because I downloaded all his works, including piano and guzheng music."
"I'm going crazy, he's making so much money."
“So he’s already so successful?”
"I thought the champion had a lot of prize money, but I didn't expect him to earn even more. Why did the program team set such a high prize money?"
"I'll tell you a little gossip. The program team has very little control over the contestants. If you want to invite Wang Qian to participate in performances outside of the competition, you have to pay a certain price, otherwise Wang Qian will refuse..."
"Such a big name? Horrible!"
…
Many celebrities from the European and American entertainment circles, as well as the wealthy circles, have come out to express their surprise.
A famous international director said: "Compared to this, the entire Hollywood pales in comparison! The combined profits of the six major Hollywood studios this year are not as high as this."
An international superstar: "This is crazy! This must be the person who makes the most money in the history of the entertainment industry. Can someone teach me? I want to learn too..."
A famous actress said: "If I could make so much money, I would retire immediately. Unfortunately, I can't make even one tenth of it in my entire life! What's more frightening is that this is only what he made this month. I can't imagine how much money he can make this year. It is definitely an astronomical figure..."
…
Seeing this news go viral, many media outlets have begun to dig deeper into the incomes of The Voice contestants!
Wang Qian's income is indeed astonishing.
However, the other contestants are equally amazing.
You won’t know until you calculate it, and you’ll be surprised! Every contestant can be said to be a winner in life.
Adam and Elizabeth, who were eliminated in the second round, both earned more than $200 million or $300 million! And Sophie's income is initially estimated to be at least $700 million or $800 million!
Miyuki Nakamori's income is also over 200 million US dollars...
Many other contestants who were eliminated in the first round also earned tens of millions of dollars!
The Los Angeles Times called the world competition stage the stage of wealth! "No talent show has ever produced so many wealthy contestants in batches. The contestants who entered the second round had an income of at least 200 million US dollars, and they directly achieved financial freedom..."
"And Wang Qian may become one of the richest people in the world. There are not many people in the world who can take out billions of dollars in cash..."
…
The topic of wealth can easily attract worldwide attention and discussion at any time.
Everyone is discovering at this moment that the contestants of The Voice of China World Championship have become wealthy people, surpassing many senior veterans who have struggled all their lives in the European and American music and entertainment circles.
Any singer in the music industry who sees this will be shocked, and then extremely envious, or even jealous.
Many big-name singers who have also released songs and made money in the past two weeks have spoken out and promoted their works as much as possible to earn more popularity and sales.
certainly……
Singers like Kristen and Green, who are the few who focus on music, may not have negative thoughts like jealousy.
Christine was sitting on the sofa with a pale face, staring at the rankings and numbers on the computer screen. She looked at Wang Qian, who was at the top of the list and whose eyes flashed, and then she stared at the second place.
second!
Still Sophie!
Sales have reached 170 million.
The third place is still Christine, with sales of 170 million. She is only 700,000 away from the second place Sophie. This number is very small compared to the sales of 170 million and can be almost ignored.
However, at this moment, this number, which could be ignored at ordinary times, pushed Christine to the third place, preventing her from becoming the second person closest to Wang Qian.
Christine picked up the phone and called her agent Sharon, and the call was connected in one second.
Sharon first comforted him, "Chris, don't worry, we are already working hard. We have mobilized all the resources we can, and you have cooperated with our plan very well. We have done our best, and our sales have exceeded your previous figures."
Kristen took a deep breath and said calmly: “But I still couldn’t surpass her!”
Sharon: "Chris, it's not that you're not good enough, but Sophie has accumulated too much popularity through the World Championships, and the World Championship program team has invested more resources than us. We lost to the program team's publicity resources, not you losing to Sophie. Moreover, we still have a chance, and the first day hasn't even ended yet."
"The gap is less than one million, we have plenty of time to surpass her!"
Sharon was also quite anxious, and the company was even more anxious.
Kristen is their signature figure and contributes more profits to the company than all the other artists under them combined!
The record company is also anxious now and does not want Christine's status to be affected. They hope to push Christine to a higher ranking.
We have already lost to Wang Qian, and have been losing for two weeks. Everyone has accepted their fate.
But……
I can't lose to Sophie again!
otherwise.
Kristen's status in the European and American music scene will really drop a level.
That would be a big blow to both the record company and the agency, and would greatly affect Christine's image value.
Christine sighed and said calmly, "Just do your best. Sharon, is the recording studio arranged?"
Sharon: "It's all arranged. You can come and use it anytime."
Christine picked up the notebook and stuffed it into her backpack. She stood up and walked out, saying to the phone, "Okay, I'll be there right away! Tell them to get ready in advance. They'll have to stay in the recording studio for the next few days!"
Sharon was silent for a moment, then said worriedly: "Chris, I support your work, but you must also take care of yourself."
Snap! Christine had hung up the phone and was about to put it in her pocket, but her movements froze.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She used her mobile phone to look at the names and positions on the list again, and when she saw Sophie's name between herself and Wang Qian, she felt a little sad for some reason.
She is not young anymore, she knows what this mentality is and what she is thinking.
After watching Wang Qian's performance after performance, she was completely conquered by Wang Qian!
She had never been in a relationship before, so it was a new feeling.
Kristen has been brewing this feeling in her heart and has written it into her own work. She will also record it into a finished product and release it to the world!
The countryside is more than just nostalgic and touching old photos.
And pure love! …
Wang Qian received Zhou Qinghua's call and knew that the production team had agreed. He smiled and said, "Actually, I really hope you will refuse. I want to rest early."
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "I know that others may doubt you, but I know that what you said, Professor Wang, is true. You may not care about this little money! However, for the hundreds of millions of fans who support you in China, come on in the finals!"
Wang Qian said directly: "Is it for your billions of dollars in income?"
Zhou Qinghua did not shy away from the question: "It's all the same, keep going."
Wang Qian: “I’ll try my best!”
Hang up the phone.
Wang Qian took a deep breath and saw that it was getting late outside. He stood up and said to Qin Xuerong, "Call Jiang Jiang, Xiaoyue, Juliet, Lao Zhao, and Lao He to have dinner together. We will officially start rehearsals tomorrow. Don't relax. We can't afford to lose in the finals. Don't let Sophie overturn us."
Although, Wang Qian and Sophie have a deep relationship! Wang Qian knows that Sophie can be said to be his super fan.
but.
Wang Qian knew even more that Sophie would never let him off the hook, and might even be more excited and perform beyond her normal level.
In addition, this is Sophie's home court. Once Sophie performs exceptionally well, she may really beat him and win the championship.
Things like this…
Wang Qian really didn't want to see it.
He would not go easy on Sophie either.
He just wanted to defeat Sophie with his strongest strength and prove the strength of The Voice of China that he represented in front of the whole world.
He carries more than Sophie.
Although Sophie is from France, she is ultimately a European or American.
Wang Qian is an outsider in China.
Qin Xuerong quickly made a phone call and invited everyone to have dinner together.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively.
It's the finals and everyone is happy.
Everyone is eager for the moment of winning the championship on the final stage next week.
Murong Yue said excitedly: "I will also wear a cheongsam when the time comes."
When Jiang Yu was playing the piano yesterday, she was wearing a cheongsam, which amazed the world and caused a craze in China. Screenshots from various angles went viral on the Internet.
Murong Yue also felt itchy and looked at Wang Qian with a smile on her face.
Jiang Yu said to Wang Qian: "Today, many famous music schools in the world have invited me to teach, but I have rejected them all. I think I still need to learn more."
Wang Qian looked at Jiang Yu and said casually, "You can make your own decision. You are still young and there is indeed room for improvement."
Juliet ate in silence, feeling a strong desire in her heart, and decided to practice the piano more when she returned home.
Jiang Yu has already achieved success, and she can't fall too far behind.
Jiang Yu was able to do it in half a year, and she wanted to do it in a shorter time.
Otherwise, how could she prove that her talent was higher than Jiang Yu's? How could she prove that she was the person closest to her teacher Wang Qian?
Juliet glanced at Wang Qian, then quickly looked away.
After dinner, Wang Qian chatted with Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan, Qin Xuehong, Xiao Dongmei, Wang Jingyu and others on the phone. They all called to cheer Wang Qian up.
They came from far away to watch Wang Qian's performance, hoping to witness Wang Qian win the championship with their own eyes. This also has special meaning to them!
After a social event.
Wang Qian disbanded the band, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. He also took Qin Xuerong back to his room.
It's getting late.
Wang Qian was just about to take a rest.
Qin Xuerong reminded, "It's almost midnight, and this time you've broken the first-day sales record for European and American pop music. You have to broadcast it again on Feiyue at that time, so that you can attract more traffic. The contract with ByteDance has been preliminarily signed. They said they will wait for the final offer within a month, and then use this offer as the basis to purchase our shares or voting rights!"
Wang Qian lay on the sofa and nodded: "No problem!"
As he said that, he took out his phone to check the cumulative sales for the first day of the day! The first day's record! It always has a special meaning.
Wang Qian has become numb to this. After all, he has been breaking records continuously since he arrived in North America. He has become accustomed to it and has no surprises or expectations.
But……
The outside world is still extremely concerned about this.
All the fans are looking forward to how much more Wang Qian can break? What records can he break? Musicians and singers in the European and American music scene also want to see where Wang Qian can stand, and whether they will have a chance to surpass him in the future? Can they still regain the glory that belongs to them? So! When the calmest Wang Qian opened his phone, he saw that the outside world was already in an uproar.
because.
The first-day sales record created by Wang Qian this time made everyone who saw it unable to remain calm.
