Chapter 476 475. Wang Qian is not going? Then we won’t go either! (Subscribe)
North America is the region with the most developed entertainment industry in the world.
Whether it is film and television works or music works, they can quickly radiate throughout the world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most successful area for cultural export.
It is also the only country that can regard the entertainment industry as one of its pillar industries.
This is one of the reasons why the World Championship quickly became popular around the world, and the production team also took advantage of the developed entertainment industry chain in North America that radiates across the world.
Similarly, the major entertainment industries in North America can quickly seize the world's attention and find ways to profit from it.
The World Championship is so popular now, the money earned is enough to make the bigwigs on Wall Street jealous, and it has made the entire pop music industry explode.
Who wouldn’t want a piece of that?
Advertisers flocked to the market, pushing up advertising fees to record highs.
Major evening parties and variety shows have also extended invitations to the contestants of the program team.
Except for Wang Qian, Sophie, and Miyuki Nakamori, many other contestants who were eliminated early have already appeared on major variety shows in North America.
Especially Adam, whose agent helps him to check things out, and the variety shows he appears on are all real big names. He takes the boutique route and has made his presence felt in the world, as if he has been treated like a superstar singer.
The two major North American evening parties that were about to begin had simultaneously invited ten contestants! Adam, Elizabeth, Jonathan and the others did not hesitate much. The agent briefly discussed the details of the contract with the organizing committee and confirmed it directly.
Adam's agent also got inside information from the Grammy Organizing Committee through secret channels, Adam may be nominated for Best New Artist !
Adam didn’t have an album last year, and his debut work was only released this year. Before that, he was considered a contestant.
However, as long as the organizing committee approves it, a simple explanation will be enough!
For example, the contestants in the world competition are all amazing, and it would be a loss to the world music scene if they were not nominated. Then, if all the contestants were nominated, it would be a grand event, and fans all over the world would recognize it. Maybe this year's Grammy Best New Artist Award could be made the most valuable Best New Artist in history.
Adam immediately announced on his Facebook: "I have received invitations to perform at the Grammys and Oscars. I am grateful for the recognition of both galas. I will definitely prepare the best performances and bring them to these two stages!"
Then...
Elizabeth also said on Facebook: "I will prepare two pieces specifically for the two major evening parties. This is my chance!"
Jonathan and other contestants also spoke, thanking the two major evening parties, thanking everyone, thanking the fans, and thanking their parents...
…
but!
Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori, two talented women recognized to be even stronger and more talented than Adam, have not spoken yet.
Of course, Wang Qian, the person everyone was most looking forward to, did not speak either.
However, everyone knew that the organizing committees of the two major evening parties must have invited the three of them.
Sophie sat on the sofa holding the phone. Her agent's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sophie, I just got the latest news. Wang Qian rejected the invitations to the Oscars and Grammys. The organizing committees of the two major evening parties are quite angry. Now, you may become the finale of the two evening parties."
"This is your first chance!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Sophie's eyes, and she quickly asked, "Wang Qian rejected the invitation? All of them?"
The agent's tone was slightly excited: "Yes, he refused. It seems that he said that he wanted to go home, so he didn't want to accept any performance invitations. Including the Oscars and Grammys, this is definitely a stupid choice. The Oscars and Grammys have a huge influence in North America and can affect the entire entertainment industry."
"Wang Qian has offended them now. He will never be able to develop in North America, and he will never be able to get his hands on a Grammy Award again. If you win a Grammy Award before him, it will also be a kind of proof. Many people will think that you have defeated Wang Qian... When the time comes, we will promote it well, and it may be possible for you to beat Wang Qian in sales."
"Sophie..."
The agent wanted to continue talking about future plans, and he became more and more excited. He couldn't help but get excited when he thought that Sophie, who is under him, might become the world's number one singer and surpass Wang Qian. That would be an endless supply of countless dollars!
But.
Sophie immediately interrupted her agent: "No! If Wang Qian doesn't go, then I won't go either. Please help me reject them now."
The agent on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react all of a sudden. He was silent for a few seconds before he made sure that he had heard correctly, but he still asked with certainty: "What? Sophie, what did you just say?"
Sophie said in a firm tone: "I say, please help me refuse. I have no interest in what you said. Using such meaningless means to hype myself up to surpass Wang Qian is not what I want. If Wang Qian doesn't go, I don't want to go either."
The agent was shocked and said, "God, Sophie, you are going to reject the invitation to perform at the Oscars and Grammys? Do you know what you are doing? Do you know the influence of the Oscars Organizing Committee in the film industry? Do you know the influence of the Grammys Organizing Committee in the world music scene? If you offend them, then you will not be able to develop in North America."
Sophie smiled and said, "Haha, so what? You are my agent, you just need to execute my decision. If you feel that I have no development and cannot bring you any benefit, then you can terminate the contract with me. I don't want your liquidated damages..."
The phone was silent for a few seconds.
The agent calmed himself down as much as possible, and then said, "Sophie, that's not what I meant. I mean, although you are a fan of Wang Qian and you admire his strength and talent, I am the same as you. I like every one of his works. However, we don't have to sacrifice our own interests for him, and I don't think he wants to see you sacrifice yourself like this. He didn't ask you to do this, so why don't you think about your future?"
"Don't you want to have a higher status in the history of world music? You are fully capable and have the opportunity to do so."
Sophie stood up, looked at the scenery of Los Angeles outside the window, and said calmly: "This is not what I want. Do as I say and reject them. Moreover, if the Grammys ban Wang Qian in the future, then I will never attend the Grammy Awards ceremony or receive any awards."
"I mean what I say."
The agent on the other end of the phone fell silent again, not knowing how to persuade Sophie for a moment.
From the perspective of the market, the agent was sure that Sophie's choice was stupid and she missed a great opportunity.
But……
As Sophie's agent, I also know that the decisions Sophie makes cannot be changed.
Although Sophie looks like a very weak girl who should be easy to talk to, in fact, once Sophie makes any decision, no one can change it, including her father Marlon.
So! After a few seconds of silence, the agent said, "Okay, I'll tell them what you mean! But I hope you won't be so impulsive. You still have a long way to go."
Sophie: "I understand. Go ahead and do it. I'm tired. I'm hanging up now."
After saying.
Sophie hung up the phone, not wanting to listen to her agent's nonsense.
Of course, she knew that the agent was doing his job conscientiously, but she didn't like it, it was that simple.
No matter how grand the stage is, if Wang Qian is not there, there is no point for her to participate.
Thinking like this...
Sophie opened her phone and checked Facebook and Twitter, and sure enough, she saw the hottest news.
Above is the statement released by the Grammys and Oscars.
Grammy: "It's a pity that we failed to reach a cooperation agreement with Chinese singer Wang Qian. He urgently wants to go home and rest. Moreover, he doesn't seem to think that Grammy is qualified to invite him to perform, so he refused very firmly. We are very sorry about this. We may not invite Wang Qian to cooperate again in the future."
Grammy's speech was brief, but packed with information.
Wang Qian said that he wanted to go home and looked down on the Grammy stage, so he rejected the invitation to perform! This news was extremely popular on Facebook, and many celebrities, singers, and media self-media forwarded and commented.
Los Angeles Music News: "This is a stupid decision, Wang Qian will regret it for the rest of his life. I really want to interview him about his current thoughts, record them, and then play them back to him ten years later. His expression will definitely be very interesting then..."
…
Yunna forwarded the post and said: "This is a very regrettable decision. Wang Qian missed a grand stage and an award to prove himself in the future."
…
Robert said: "Wang Qian is still very young and acts impulsively. We should give him more tolerance."
…
Adam joined in the fun and said, "It's a pity that I can't perform on the same stage with Wang Qian. I have to say that I also think his decision is not a very wise one."
…
Lillard said: "I don't think Wang Qian has any right to look down on the Grammy Awards, which is the world's highest music award. So far, no Asian has ever been nominated, and no Asian singer has ever been on this stage. He should feel proud and proud of this!"
…
When Sophie saw this, she immediately used her Facebook account to say, "Professor Wang Qian just wanted to go home and rest early. What's wrong with that? I also felt very tired and wanted to go home and rest early, so I also rejected the invitations from the Grammys and Oscars. There was nothing wrong with that."
Sophie's public statement immediately caused heated discussion.
Many people expressed that they didn’t quite understand.
"Walter? Sophie, you're not going to the Grammys either? What about the Oscars? I can't imagine what's worth looking forward to if neither you nor Wang Qian are attending the party!"
"Sophie, there's no need for you and Wang Qian to not attend the performance, right?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Sophie, please don't. I really like your performance."
"Sophie..."
…
Many other people in the circle were also confused about this and didn't know why Sophie did this.
The old hands in the entertainment industry have long known clearly where they are, which is the world's largest world of fame and fortune. Everything is for profit, and nothing else matters.
However, Sophie clearly gave up the benefits that were within her grasp!
Was it for Wang Qian? Many people speculated.
but.
Compared to Wang Qian's refusal, which led to many people boycotting and criticizing Wang Qian, Sophie's refusal was much calmer and no one tried to lead the discussion.
But then Green also spoke up: "I refuse to perform at the Grammys and Oscars, too!"
Green didn't say much.
However, her influence is not small. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most popular singer besides Wang Qian, Sophie, Kristen, Miyuki Nakamori and Adam.
Green is also the singer whose popularity and popularity, apart from the players in the World Championships, is second only to Kristen. His future is definitely promising. The sales of his works released in two consecutive weeks have been very explosive, and his reputation is also very good. He is like a rising star.
So, the Oscars and Grammys also invited her, including Ally with her!
Green's public refusal caused a small wave of hype.
Many people also expressed their incomprehension about this.
I don't know what Green wants to do.
However, no one in the circle talked about Green. First, because Green was one of their own, and second, because no one dared to provoke Green, for fear that Green would publicly curse others, which would be embarrassing.
And that's not all! Miyuki Nakamori saw the news in her hotel room and quickly posted a message: "Due to personal reasons, I cannot attend the Oscars and Grammys. I am deeply sorry for this."
Click to send! Nakamori Miyuki sighed and fell on the sofa, looking a little depressed.
Qianyu Zhenzhu asked curiously: "What's wrong? Do you regret it?"
Miyuki Nakamori immediately shook her head: "No!"
She didn't say it. The reason she was depressed was that she didn't sleep all night last night, but she didn't wait for Wang Qian, not even a single message.
Qian Yu Zhenzhu looked at the many exciting news on her phone and said, "Professor Wang rejected the invitations to two major evening parties, which can be regarded as offending the North American entertainment industry. It's amazing."
There was a hint of admiration in Qianyu Zhenzhu's tone.
Miyuki Nakamori looked at Chiba Zhenzhu and asked tentatively: "Zhenzhu, if you have the opportunity to get close to Professor Wang, will you miss it?"
Qianyu Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face, and she looked at Nakamori Miyuki curiously: "Miyuki, why do you ask that?"
Miyuki Nakamori's face also turned red, but she continued to ask: "Nothing, I just want to know what you think. You won't refuse, right?"
All that suddenly appeared in Qianyu Zhenzhu's mind was Wang Qian's charming figure on the stage. She nodded involuntarily, but then her face flushed and she quickly shook her head: "I, I don't know..."
A mysterious smile spread across Miyuki Nakamori's lips, then she looked at her phone, still didn't see any message from Wang Qian, and then she looked at her own comments on Facebook, which also received some attention. Many people in the European and American music industry have criticized her and issued statements calling for a boycott of her!
Miyuki Nakamori and Mao Chiba were not surprised to see this. They knew that they, like Wang Qian, were Asians and would not be easily recognized by people in the European and American circles.
Whenever given the chance, music industry insiders in Europe and America will seize it to boycott them.
Because both Miyuki Nakamori and Wang Qian threatened their jobs.
The members of the Grammy organizing committee are also keeping an eye on the current public opinion in the office and found that the situation is somewhat beyond their expectations! Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Green and others are all the popular figures they value!
Sophie's popularity in the world is second only to Wang Qian, and Miyuki Nakamori's popularity in Asia is also second only to Wang Qian. Green is the most successful new singer this year.
The loss of these three...
This will definitely take away a lot of luster from the Grammy stage, and it’s no exaggeration to say that it’s a major blow!
"What's wrong with them? Have they all been brainwashed by Wang Qian?"
"Yes, why are they standing together with Wang Qian? Aren't they afraid that we will ban them?"
"I think this year's Best Newcomer nomination will knock all three of them out."
"Then we can only hype Adam and Elizabeth and the others, and the value immediately drops several levels."
"Yes, without Sophie, without Wang Qian, without Miyuki Nakamori, and without Green, this year's best newcomer would definitely be laughed at by everyone..."
"What should we do then?"
Several people looked at each other, some not knowing what to do.
but!
At this time.
The middle-aged woman looked up and said in shock: "Oh no!"
Everyone was startled and looked at the middle-aged woman: "What's wrong?"
The middle-aged woman quickly said, “Check Facebook and Twitter!”
Everyone quickly picked up their phones and checked Facebook and Twitter.
All of a sudden, everyone looked unhappy.
