Chapter 484 483. Record-breaking price of the right to use! Personal income that shocked the world! (Subscription required)
today.
It was the brightest day in the history of pop music.
At the same time, it was a day when pop music shook the world.
certainly!
You can also say that.
It was the day when Wang Qian attracted the attention of the whole world.
Wang Qian has released so many works, almost every one of them can be recorded in the history of pop music, and every one of them can be seen on the historical sales record list.
Naturally.
A lot of people want to purchase the rights to use Wang Qian's works.
All major film and television production companies, game companies, entertainment platforms, and other fields that can use music have sent Qin Xuerong proposals for cooperation in usage rights, but they have all been temporarily suppressed.
This time, the area of cooperation is sports, which many people are paying attention to.
The two songs "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" are perfect for playing in a grand stadium. The live effects they bring are absolutely unmatched by any other songs and can definitely elevate the atmosphere to at least a higher level.
Many sports fans have suggested to their favorite teams to buy the copyright! After a day of fermentation.
The world's two major sports leagues finally couldn't help but take action.
The Football Association, the NBA, and the top teams in the two major fields of football and basketball have all sent cooperation requests to Qin Xuerong, wanting to purchase the copyright.
Moreover, they want exclusivity as soon as they open their mouths.
Who would be willing to share the unique atmosphere of the stadium? This brings countless long-term benefits. Even if the attendance rate of the home stadium is increased by 10%, it is hard to tell how much money it will bring in the long run.
Wang Qian relaxed on the sofa. He was used to these cooperation requests. Although he liked basketball more and didn't care about football, the world's number one sport, he didn't have any preference. He asked Qin Xuerong, "What are the conditions?"
Qin Xuerong looked down at her phone and continued, "FIFA said they want to purchase the exclusive rights to the two songs We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You. They will play them at every World Cup, and We Are the Champions will be the song played when the final victory is won."
"They wanted to buy exclusive sports rights for 20 years and offered $200 million."
The exclusive right to use in sports events means that these two works can only be used and played at the World Cup and cannot be used at any other sports events.
Twenty years and a price of two hundred million dollars.
If it was before this year, it would have been an absolute astronomical price.
Normally, the rights to use the hit singles of each year would only be sold for a few million dollars at most, and exclusive licensing would not exceed tens of millions of dollars.
FIFA gave Wang Qian $200 million for his two songs, an average of $10 million per year, or $5 million for each song.
This is definitely the highest price in the history of the European and American music scene.
Obviously, FIFA has done its homework. It did not use the previous market price to measure Wang Qian's current work, nor did it have any discriminatory or condescending attitude. It was very sincere in cooperating.
Qin Xuerong stopped and looked at Wang Qian, then continued, "Several European football clubs have also offered very high prices. The exclusive licensing period is ten to twenty years, and the price is between US$150 million and US$250 million. The highest price is Liverpool, which offers US$250 million for twenty years. They plan to make these two works their home features to increase the cohesion and attraction of their home stadiums to fans."
Wang Qian nodded: "What about the basketball?"
Qin Xuerong took a look and said, "NBA wants to buy out the sports rights of the two songs directly, with no limit on the number of years, for $500 million! The Lakers also want to buy out, offering $400 million; the Knicks are rich and offer $550 million to buy out! The Mavericks offer $150 million to buy the exclusive copyright for 15 years. The Trail Blazers offer $300 million to buy the right to use for 25 years..."
"By the way, the Olympic Organizing Committee has also sent us an invitation, hoping that we can sell them the right to use the song We Are the Champions at a friendly price. They don't want exclusivity, but only the right to use it. It will be played every time a gold medal is awarded at the Olympics!"
Well, the Olympics are always poor, begging for alms everywhere.
Wang Qian shook his head and said, "Reply to them! If they want exclusive authorization, the price is not enough. Of course, they can also just buy the right to use it and pay by the number of times. Two hundred thousand dollars per time, unlimited times, this amount of money is a small amount for any football or basketball club."
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "Of course this is better. I will reply to them like this."
Wang Qian nodded in agreement.
Qin Xuerong immediately responded to all copyright cooperation messages and told them Wang Qian's words verbatim.
Everyone remained silent and stopped talking to Qin Xuerong.
The message they sent this time was just a test, and they will continue to discuss the formal cooperation.
Obviously, they all want to purchase exclusive rights, and they are all wealthy families and business alliances with plenty of money.
However, they believed that the price they offered was sincere enough, and if Wang Qian was still not satisfied, they would think it was not worth it.
So, if you can calculate the money according to the number of times you use it!
They are also more accepting.
Two hundred thousand dollars at a time is indeed a small amount of money for either of them.
However, careful people made a quick calculation and were shocked! Each team in the NBA league plays 82 games per season. If one of these two songs is used in each game, and the payment is $200,000, it will cost $16.4 million. This will be a considerable expense. Over the years, the accumulated amount will be even more terrifying! In ten years, it will be more than 160 million! And this is not exclusive...
certainly!
They can also be more economical and only use it in more important home games, which will save a lot! Qin Xuerong and Wang Qian ignored such trivial matters and both began to pack up for bed.
As for the outside world, public opinion in the entertainment circles of various countries in the world is still hot. The focus of discussion is still Wang Qian, followed by Sophie and Kristen. Miyuki Nakamori has received much less attention and is only the most popular focus figure in the island country. In North America, she is not as popular as Adam, Green, and Elizabeth.
Really! This week's first-day sales chart is amazing.
Many media and industry insiders couldn't stop discussing it.
The focus of the discussion on Wang Qian is... raised by the Wall Street Journal.
"How much money did Wang Qian from China make from his music? Who made more money, him or the World Championship program team? As the copyright holder of the championship, China will take half of the profits from the World Championship. How much money will that be?"
"Except for Wang Qian, how much money did the other players in the World Championship earn?"
Fame and profit!
It is an eternal topic in the world.
The topic raised by the Wall Street Journal immediately swept the world.
Many people are very curious to know how much money this program, which has become a worldwide hit in the past two months and created a miracle in the world's ratings, has made. How much money have its contestants made?
Once calculated!
Many people were shocked.
"Today alone, the total sales of Wang Qian's four works have exceeded 3 billion, and the total sales volume exceeds 3 billion US dollars. He will get half of it, which is 1.5 billion US dollars before tax. And this is just the income from these four works in one day! In addition, his other works released in the world today have a total sales volume of more than 800 million, and a pre-tax income of 400 million US dollars..."
"That is to say, his share of the revenue from music sales alone today has reached nearly 2 billion US dollars! This does not even include the horrific sales of his works in China. If that is included, his revenue will exceed 2.2 billion US dollars!"
"Add to that his income from live broadcast rewards and live broadcast contract income! The total income will reach about 2.5 billion US dollars..."
"This is an unprecedented walking money-printing machine."
"If we take into account the sales of all his works since participating in the World Championship, as well as all his other commercial cooperation income, and the upcoming championship bonus, our professionals have preliminarily calculated that his total income has exceeded 6 billion US dollars!"
"According to our calculations, the total revenue of the World Championship program team, including TV advertising, ticket sales, and on-site advertising, exceeded 16 billion US dollars! The net profit is around 14 billion US dollars, and the Chinese champion copyright holder will receive a share of around 7 billion US dollars. The other nine copyright holders will receive a share of around 780 million..."
"Wang Qian's personal income is not much less than that of the champion copyright holder."
"Okay, let's get rid of these two most terrifying ones! Let's count the other contestants."
"Sophie's total pre-tax income exceeds $1.8 billion. Miyuki Nakamori's total pre-tax income exceeds $1 billion, Adam's total pre-tax income exceeds $400 million, and Elizabeth's total pre-tax income exceeds $300 million..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The figures, released by professional and authoritative media, have sparked heated discussions in countries around the world.
Although the Wall Street media had previously discussed the income of the players and caused heated discussions, it was quickly suppressed by the World Championship officials, who continued to focus on promoting the players and the competition.
This time, the World Championship officials did not suppress it and allowed it to develop.
Therefore, it caused heated discussions around the world.
Everyone had taken a quick look at the income of each player in the World Championship, but they were not very impressed.
this time……
After continuous discussions and in-depth digging of the data, it was discovered that these income figures may only be the minimum income. The total income of the contestants, especially Wang Qian and Su Fei, may be higher than estimated.
This is very scary.
Los Angeles Times: "The World Championship is a machine for creating super-rich people. We never thought that a star in the entertainment industry could earn more than $6 billion in just two months. This is a wealth myth. Of course, we have never seen an entertainment variety show earn $14 billion in profit in two months. This is an even more terrifying myth..."
…
Time magazine used the portraits of Wang Qian and Sophie as the cover, and captured the scene of the two singing at the world finals. It was very representative, showing the two's devotion when singing to the fullest, and also clearly reflecting their identities as singers and musicians. The headline was - Miracle of Pop Music!
"Wang Qian has earned more than $6 billion on stage, Sophie has earned more than $1.8 billion, and Miyuki Nakamori has earned more than $1 billion. They use their singing to tell the world that if you have enough talent and gifts, you can exchange for everything, even world-class billionaires, and you can achieve success immediately!"
…
People in Europe and the United States were even more shocked and expressed their opinions on various social media platforms.
"God, making more than 2 billion dollars a day, Wang Qian's money-making speed has surpassed the fruit company, but his work deserves such an achievement."
"Wow, I'm shocked. I contributed to their income."
"Gosh, if I had that much money, I'd retire right now."
"In fact, if Wang Qian and Su Fei continue to develop, they will be able to make more money in the future. Money is just a meaningless number to them, and they will never spend it all."
"Is it too late for me to learn music now? I heard that any unknown marginal tuner in Los Angeles can earn $100,000 a month now. This is simply the golden age of pop music!"
"You may not know that during the World Championship, the number of users of Wang Qian's music platform in China soared tenfold, and the valuation also soared several times. He also invested in the Feiyue platform, and his wealth increased by far more than 6 billion US dollars. If these two platforms can go public, he will definitely become one of the top ten super-rich people in the world. He is treated like a protagonist that even novels dare not write about."
"I predict that Wang Qian will be among the top three on the rich list within ten years!"
…
Many Chinese media outlets also reposted this news, but many people did not quite believe it after reading it, thinking that it was just European and American tabloids making up the news to attract attention.
But!
Soon someone reposted the original page and was shocked to find that it contained data and news released by authoritative media.
"Professor Wang is so terrifying. He harvested leeks from Europe and America and earned a terrifying amount of $6 billion. It scared me to death."
"It seems that it is easier to make money in Europe and the United States! The sales of Professor Wang's works in China are no worse than those abroad, but the income is many times higher."
"Professor Wang is awesome. He has brought glory to the country and made money from foreigners. Come on."
"There's also a farewell performance this weekend."
"Professor Wang is a walking money printing machine, and more than one money printing machine!"
"Because of Professor Wang, I am now starting to switch to art exams. I want to study music. Money doesn't matter. I just like music."
"Professor Wang, please release an album soon. It will definitely break the world album sales record..."
"It seems like the foreigners have never seen the world. Do they know that Professor Wang's Qianqian Jingting platform is valued at more than 50 billion? It is said that Professor Wang holds more than 90% of the shares. Who can compare with his wealth?"
"Wow, six billion dollars, that's cash! But, it is said that the taxes in the US are very heavy. How much can we bring back? Even if we bring back half of it, which is only three billion dollars, Professor Wang will probably become the person with the most cash in the world, invincible..."
…
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong did not pay attention to the outside discussions.
Neither of them cared much about the amount of money.
They washed up together, then spent about an hour in the bathtub before going to bed.
Qin Xuerong was so tired that she fell down and fell asleep in less than a minute.
Wang Qian was about to go to bed and was about to turn off his phone when he saw a message from Miyuki Nakamori! "Wang Qian, the door of our room is open."
Wang Qian's eyes lit up.
