Chapter 473 472. The terrifying outbreak of the Huaxia market, the capital frenzy caused by Qian Qian Jing Ting. (Subscribe)
Wang Qian has a feeling...
like!
The Chinese people are keeping an eye on the world's sales volume, and then trying their best to maintain higher sales volume in order to surpass the world's sales volume.
The sales figures outside the Chinese region are somewhat irrationally suppressed.
Because Wang Qian believes that there must be many people in Europe and the United States who, even if they like his performances and works very much, will deliberately not download his works, because they do not want to increase his sales or his income. This is an irrational boycott, and there must be a lot of such people, even if there are not hundreds of millions, it is almost the same.
However, sales in the Chinese region have been growing irrationally.
The reason is also very clear.
After all, Wang Qian performed an English piece on the world stage, and there must be a large number of audiences in China who could not understand it and could only listen to the rhythm of the music and watch the atmosphere of the performance.
If it is the work of other European and American singers, no matter how big their names are, there will definitely be a lot of people who will not download it after listening to it, thinking that they can't understand it and purchasing the download is a waste of money and time. This is also the reason why the sales of European and American singers in China have never been high. Those big-name European and American singers who sign contracts with Chinese platforms all get a high signing fee and the lowest share, and they will not choose a high share and zero signing fee.
Because they know they won't get much sales in China.
As for Wang Qian's English works, many people will pay to download and support them without thinking, even if they don't understand them.
For no other reason!
Just to support Wang Qian.
It is to let the whole world know the strength of Wang Qian’s support in China.
because!
They are all Chinese.
so.
When Wang Qian saw the incredible sales figures on the Qianqian Jingting sales list, he was shocked. But after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to understand it and was deeply moved.
Although the price of paid downloads in China is many times lower than that in foreign countries, a song costs less than one dollar.
However, this is also the heavy support from the folks at home.
At the top of the list, it’s not Hotel California.
The reason why the song Hotel California sold better in Europe and the United States is that the song conquered the North American market, with sales of more than 200 million in the North American market alone.
In China, some of the North American-specific life elements in Hotel California are obviously not understood by the Chinese people. It can only be said that this is a nice and thoughtful country rock song, and the guitar playing is also very pleasant and distinctive.
On the Qianqian Jingting chart, the song that ranks first in sales is actually Stairway to Heaven, a rock song with a classical and folk style. Today's sales have reached a terrifying 630 million, which is 20 million more than the best-selling Hotel California in Europe and the United States.
Awesome!
Wang Qian took a look at the comments section of this song and found that there were tens of millions of comments posted. The one with the most likes was a call to action.
"We are Professor Wang's base camp, the rear base for his battles around the world. We cannot hold him back. We hope that everyone can call on everyone they know and who is capable to come together to support Professor Wang's works. It costs less than one yuan to download a song, and only a few dozen yuan to download all of Professor Wang's works, which is about the price of one or two packs of cigarettes. However, it can let the whole world see the fighting power of our Chinese fans. Let's all get going..."
This call to action received hundreds of millions of likes and over five million replies.
Many people responded to the call and said they would call on their classmates and friends to support Wang Qian.
Wang Qian could imagine that such call posts would definitely not only be found here, but would also be found in other works and on other social platforms.
Wang Qian himself did not call for it, nor did he have a management team to organize it, nor did he have any fan club.
Therefore, it can only be that the fans organized themselves spontaneously.
Of course, Wang Qian thought of the official attitude that Qin Xuerong had just told him, and he couldn't help but wonder whether there was an official behind this call?
Is it to build up our national pride and motivation to face the world?
Wang Qian didn’t know, it was just his guess.
This is one of the most classic rock works and is very popular in China.
It’s not because many people understood the classic nature of this song, but because Wang Qian demonstrated his historic guitar skills and singing skills in this song, which made many viewers watching the live broadcast like it very much and were shocked.
The second most liked post in the comment section said: "I love this piece of work. I am a super senior rock fan and have listened to all the classic works in the history of rock. But I think no band's classic work can surpass Professor Wang's "Stairway to Heaven". In terms of guitar playing, no top guitarist can compare with Professor Wang. Friends who like rock, I advise you not to miss this piece of work. This will be one of the works that truly establishes Professor Wang's status as the god of rock."
This post has received over 10 million likes.
Below are some rock technical masters who analyzed Wang Qian's song in detail from various angles and aspects, and received a lot of likes and replies.
Wang Qian took a quick look and found that there were indeed quite a few talented people among the people who had analyzed the song thoroughly from almost every aspect. There were some things that even he, a porter, did not understand as deeply as they did.
Ranked second on the sales list is Hotel California. After all, this song is catchy, has good rhythm and melody, and the guitar playing is a plus, so the sales volume has exceeded 600 million, reaching more than 610 million, which is more than 5 million more than the global sales of Hotel California.
Similarly, the number of comments under this song exceeded 10 million, and the comment with the most likes also received tens of millions of likes.
Ranked third is Wang Qian's song "zombie", which was sung in a different style. The sales volume also reached over 605 million. Many people like and praise Wang Qian for his completely different voice, singing style, and band mood in this song.
This is one of those works that truly reflects Wang Qian’s strength and talent.
Ranked fourth is the song "We Are the Champions", which is very suitable for the live atmosphere. The sales volume reached more than 590 million. This song has the most number of messages, reaching more than 30 million. The comment with the most likes has received more than 200 million likes. It is very lively and those who like it like it very much.
Wang Qian felt a sense of pride when he saw that the sales of his four works in China exceeded their sales in the world. He was proud of his country and his fellow countrymen.
Emotions brewing in his heart, Wang Qian ate his delicious and refreshing breakfast and continued to look curiously at who was ranked fifth.
Seeing that it was Miyuki Nakamori! Wang Qian smiled.
This is what Miyuki Nakamori deserves. The sales volume reached more than 110 million. Although it is far lower than Wang Qian who is in the top four, this is truly market-oriented sales volume, which is already very impressive.
He also listened to Miyuki Nakamori's debut work, which is a great work that incorporates rock and modern electronic music. Her voice is beautiful, her singing skills are world-class, and her arrangement is also world-class. It deserves to be recognized worldwide.
Of course, Miyuki Nakamori already has a very high popularity base in China. She is the foreign player second only to Wang Qian, and her popularity is even higher than Sophie.
The sixth and seventh are Sophie's works, with sales of around 90 million each. The eighth and ninth are Christine's works, with sales of around 80 million each. The tenth is Sophie's work again, with sales of over 70 million...
Obviously, the influence of the World Championship has reached its peak in China, leading to such high sales of so many English works, dominating the top ten.
The works of many domestic singers are ranked after the top ten.
This has never happened before.
However, the eleventh place is the work of a superstar singer, with sales of over 50 million this week. This is also a huge breakthrough for domestic singers, and the weekly sales may exceed 200 million.
The sales of the next twenty or so brands exceeded 30 million.
The domestic pop music market was also completely activated and exploded.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Although it is still not as good as the international market, it is already a huge breakthrough for the domestic market. For all domestic musicians and singers, it is an unprecedented golden age.
There are suddenly fewer music variety shows of all kinds. It’s not because people don’t watch them anymore or that TV stations don’t want to broadcast them, but because they can’t invite good singers to participate in the shows.
If they produce a good song and release it, they can get tens of millions of sales in a week, and the income after the share is also tens of millions at least, and if they are a little better, they can get 20 to 30 million, and it only takes one or two months. Isn't it more comfortable than participating in variety shows and being watched by others? Therefore, unless those variety shows increase their remuneration significantly, it is basically impossible to invite singers and musicians to participate in the show.
However, the pay for previous shows was already relatively high, how could it be possible to increase it so significantly now?
So! In the coming period, you may not see music variety shows on domestic TV screens.
Those singers and musicians are all focusing on their own music, which is obviously a healthy development.
Qin Xuerong was eating a steamed bun while seeing Wang Qian watching Qian Qian Jingting. She said softly, "Old Xu called this morning. Qian Qian Jingting's users are still increasing rapidly. Now the number of users is about to reach more than 900 million. It may exceed 1 billion by the end of this week. It is about to become one of the Internet platforms with the largest number of users in China."
"It is also the only platform besides social networking and online shopping that has a user scale of this magnitude. It has exceeded many people's expectations of the pop music market. Now, big investors at home and abroad are going crazy to invest money in our platform..."
Wang Qian smiled and asked, "How sincere are they?"
Qin Xuerong said with shining eyes: "Greenfir Capital gave a valuation of 50 billion US dollars, and they are willing to bid 5 billion US dollars to buy 10% of the shares. In addition, they are willing to accept the AB share system. Soft Sound Capital from the island country is more willing to spend money, giving a valuation of 60 billion US dollars and also bidding 5 billion US dollars, only for 8% of the shares, and did not mention accepting AB shares."
"In China, Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance have all entered the market, with valuations of more than $45 billion. ByteDance seems to be impatient. Lao Xu said that the CEO of ByteDance personally came to Shanghai to meet him and said that he was willing to pay a high price as long as he could get a stake."
Wang Qian: "What did Lao Xu say?"
Qin Xuerong smiled: "Mr. Xu is not in a hurry now. The company is not short of money, and does not need a few giants to attract traffic. We have money and traffic, and we don't need financing at all. In the past half month, the number of users has increased by more than 300 to 400 million, and the revenue has reached more than 5 billion. On average, each user recharges more than 10 yuan."
"This is also the reason why we did not accept recharges from PR circles or advertising fees. If we accept these, our revenue will increase significantly."
For any platform in the entertainment industry, internal recharges and advertising fees are one of the main sources of income.
For example, Weibo has almost no user-paid projects, but its billions of dollars in revenue each year are all from selling hot search popularity, rankings and other internal income. Celebrities, internet celebrities and advertisers are the platform's largest customers, and users are just the leeks who contribute traffic and popularity.
DouYue has over one billion users, but its current active users are actually less than Qianqian Jingting’s.
DouYo’s annual advertising revenue reaches tens of billions, making it the main source of revenue for ByteDance.
Theoretically, the user scale of Qianqian Jingting platform has reached more than 900 million, most of whom are active users, and 90% are high-quality paying users. These are the highest-quality advertising traffic on the Internet, and it is also the platform that major celebrities and brokerage companies in the entertainment industry most want to spend money to buy traffic.
If Qianqian Jingting accepts advertisements and recharges, its income will skyrocket in minutes. Even if its annual income is not as high as DouYue, it will not be too different.
The potential for future appreciation is also enormous.
After all, the cultural and entertainment industry is an industry supported by the current country and an industry with a national foundation. There will definitely be huge room for development in the future.
but.
Wang Qian thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, we at Qianqian Jingting will never accept recharges from the circle. As for advertisements, we can accept them appropriately, as long as they do not affect the user experience of the platform and the sales of works. You should make this clear to Lao Xu, and now you can start discussing with the team how to run advertisements without affecting the user experience, and which advertisements will not affect the sales of the circle."
Wang Qian emphasized: "Our foundation is music, so we must be as fair as possible, leaving everything to the quality of the work and letting the users decide. Songwriters can spend money on publicity, but the various charts and recommended exposures on our platform must not be affected by their money offensive."
Qin Xuerong knew that this was Wang Qian's original intention to establish Qianqian Jingting, and said affirmatively: "Well, I will emphasize this point again to Lao Xu. So, how do we respond to those investors about financing?"
Wang Qian shook his head: "Refuse, and tell them that we will not accept financing before listing."
Qin Xuerong asked: "Only accept the last round of financing before listing?"
Wang Qian nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, this will not change. We will only accept the first and last round of financing before listing. Just explain it to them clearly so that they can be prepared at that time, and don't be scared by the over-valuation."
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "Those investors are not afraid of high valuations, but they are afraid of no profits. As long as there is profit and potential, even if our valuation is 100 billion US dollars and reaches the scale of Facebook before its IPO, they will rush in like crazy, fearing that there will be no chance..."
The couple chatted and finished their meal leisurely.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Wang Qian is looking at the domestic and international public opinion situation, and is preparing to start a live broadcast on Feiyue again later.
Qin Xuerong's phone, which she used for external business contacts, vibrated a few times again. She picked it up and took a look. She frowned at Wang Qian and said, "The Oscars and Grammys have invited us to perform at their gala. The appearance fee is directly set at 10 million US dollars..."
Oscars, Grammys? Two of the world's two largest entertainment industry galas invited Wang Qian? And offered such a high price?
