Chapter 487 486. The terrifying conditions of the program team! Want to suppress him? Can’t! (Subscribe)
The world competition program team once again realized how terrifying the influence of Wang Qian, who walked out of their own program stage, was in the world.
They had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but they could never imagine that such a person would appear. And...
In a sense, they trained them themselves? After the production team discussed it.
I decided to continue contacting Wang Qian.
However, Oni did not show up again, but instead sent Zhou Qinghua, the Chinese copyright holder, to talk to Wang Qian.
We can make some more concessions...
However, it is impossible to agree to all of Wang Qian's conditions.
The North American copyright holder said: "We can give up some of our interests, but we will never give him the copyright. Then we will all become his employees and tools for him to make money. Even if this program becomes popular in the future, it is not certain whether we can still control it. If this is the case, we would rather make less money and have absolute control."
Except Zhou Qinghua and the island country's copyright holder, everyone else agreed.
They have made enough money this time, and the new show has a high chance of success. They would rather make less money but have absolute control so that they can continue to make money in the second and third seasons.
Otherwise, even if they earn more now, what will they do if Wang Qian completely controls the program group in the future? What will they do if they are all kicked out? So...
I would rather give money than copyright.
Zhou Qinghua and the island country's copyright holders are more nonchalant. They don't care about control, they only care about whether they can make more money.
This is because, even if Wang Qian is not given the copyright, the two copyright holders from Asia will be marginalized by the program production team and will have no say, so it would be more beneficial to make more money.
Moreover, Zhou Qinghua made a lot of money because of Wang Qian this time, so of course he wanted to continue the cooperation! At that time, because of Wang Qian's status and power in the program group, he and Wang Qian have the best relationship, and he can also benefit from it and strengthen his voice in the program group.
Each has his own thoughts.
The program team ended the meeting.
As soon as Zhou Qinghua left, he called Wang Qian.
Connected quickly.
Wang Qian had just finished breakfast and was writing a work for this week's farewell performance. He would give it to Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet and others in the afternoon to facilitate tomorrow's rehearsal.
The phone rings.
Wang Qian answered the call and smiled, "Has Director Zhou received his share of the money? I heard that you will receive at least US$7 billion this time. You will be financially independent now, right?"
The champion copyright holder will take half, and China Copyright Company will soon get at least $7 billion in share, which is absolutely a real fortune. Zhou Qinghua holds at least 10% of the copyright company's shares and can take at least $700 million. Even if he pays half of the tax, he can still have $300 million to $400 million left. It is no exaggeration to say that he has achieved financial freedom.
Zhou Qinghua laughed and said, "Hahaha, Professor Wang, you are joking. Our income is nothing in your eyes."
Zhou Qinghua also looked at the calculations of those media. Wang Qian’s income during the World Championship was also 4 to 5 billion US dollars. This was his income alone and he did not need to share it with others. He was definitely the biggest individual winner during the World Championship.
In this feast of wealth in the pop music industry, Wang Qian took the biggest piece of the pie.
Wang Qian said softly, "I'm almost out of money. Director Zhou is a very busy man now. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhou Qinghua got straight to the point and said, "I was forced by the program team to come here as a lobbyist. It's about the new program. What do you think, Professor Wang?"
Wang Qian also said directly: "My conditions are very clear, that's what I think."
Zhou Qinghua asked, "Is there no room for negotiation? We can pay you $200 million, plus 40% of the first season's revenue, and all copyrights and revenue from your personal performances."
This is the latest concession made by the program team!
Give you more money.
But, there is still no copyright.
This is how entertainment giants around the world consistently operate.
Hollywood giants can ask their partners for higher commissions and higher pay, but they will definitely hold the copyright in their own hands, otherwise they would rather not cooperate.
In Hollywood, superstars who can hold the copyrights of blockbuster movies themselves are truly at the top of the Hollywood food chain. There are only a few of them in the entire Hollywood who have made the jump from being a star to the level of production capital.
The same is true in television and music.
As a veteran in the entertainment industry who has lived two lives, Wang Qian is also very clear about this, so he still said firmly: "Sorry, Director Zhou, this is not my condition."
Zhou Qinghua said regretfully: "Then we really may not have the opportunity to work together. What a pity. I think everyone else in the program team will regret it."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Regret will come later. I am looking forward to your new show."
Zhou Qinghua smiled helplessly and said, "Without you, I would have no expectations. Do you know how influential you are now? Without you, Christine, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Green, the four most influential young singers in the European and American music scene, would have all refused to join."
"Without you, even if we invite more singers, it won't be very successful. If we invest too much, there is a risk of losses."
With the success of the world competition, the guests invited to the new program are no longer newcomers. Adam, Elizabeth, Jonathan and others have already achieved success. Although they have not released an album or won any awards, their popularity and sales are real, and the compensation they deserve will not be less.
If we invite other superstar singers, the remuneration will not be less.
These expenses may be as high as hundreds of millions of dollars! Coupled with the preparations for the new show, it will definitely be at least one level higher than the early stage of the Voice of China World Competition.
But……
There are no singers who have huge appeal worldwide, such as Wang Qian, Sophie, Kristen, Miyuki Nakamori, and Green, joining the group.
How can a new show boost ratings?
In Asia and Europe, the ratings probably won’t be very good!
Zhou Qinghua is now pessimistic about the new program.
If Zhou Qinghua did not want to integrate into the world entertainment industry and improve his international status, he would have wanted to quit and just continue to participate in the preparations for the second season of The Voice of China World Competition.
Wang Qian was a little surprised. "Oh? Is my influence so great? Maybe it's not because of me? Maybe they can't make it? So they refused?"
Zhou Qinghua: "No, they all said directly that they would not participate without you."
The images of Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori appeared in Wang Qian's mind. Wang Qian was the only one in their hearts, so Wang Qian understood their choice.
But why Kristen and Green? He had never met them in person, only had contact with them at performances.
However, during the last performance, Green suddenly jumped onto the stage. That bold behavior and surging figure still left a deep impression on Wang Qian.
Seeing Wang Qian was silent, Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this. Not cooperating won't affect our friendship. Professor Wang, I won't disturb your rest. We'll have a good chat after we return home."
Wang Qian agreed, "Okay, goodbye Director Zhou."
Zhou Qinghua: "Goodbye, Professor Wang!"
…
Zhou Qinghua did not delay and quickly sent the message to the working group via his mobile phone. The top ten copyright holders and Oni and others from the program team saw it immediately.
Seeing that Wang Qian still refused, he insisted on the original conditions.
Everyone in the program crew gave up completely.
The North American copyright holder said: "Then we will never invite him again. Then he will know what he has missed. We gave up 40% of the profits and offered him 200 million yuan in compensation, but he refused. He is too greedy."
Everyone else followed suit.
"Yes, we can make money without him."
"Even if he, Kristen, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Green don't join us, we can still invite more big-name singers. Ellie, Lillard, Yuna, Sheena, O'Connor, and Robert, I think they will all be willing to participate in our show!"
“That would increase our spending by a significant amount.”
"It's okay, we will make it back. Now is the bonus period for pop music, no matter how much we invest, we can make it back. I think this lineup will definitely cause a sensation around the world."
"Then take action. The program team should contact these people immediately..."
…
No one outside knows.
Wang Qian and the world competition program team have gone through four negotiations and confrontations on the new program.
As a result, the cooperation was not achieved.
Wang Qian had no emotion about this, he just went there with an uncooperative attitude.
Of course, if the other party really agreed to such harsh conditions.
Then it would be okay for him to work with them again.
In three or four months, I can earn a lot of money again, and then I will be able to do things with ease when I return to China.
Qin Xuerong said to Wang Qian, "In fact, it is the right choice not to participate in a second variety show of the same kind in the short term. Your popularity is at its peak right now. The best way to consolidate your popularity is to release a high-quality album, hold a few more concerts, and win a few more Grammy Awards by the end of the year. Then your popularity and status will be completely solid and no one can shake it."
Wang Qian put the written music aside and said, "This rhythm is of course the best. However, my career is not just about singing. In fact, singing and music are just my side jobs."
Wang Qian has said this to the whole world more than once.
However, everyone in the world, including Qin Xuerong now, just thinks that Wang Qian is joking, which can increase his own legendary status.
However, this time Qin Xuerong could feel that Wang Qian was serious.
Qin Xuerong nodded firmly and said, "I support you no matter what you do."
Wang Qian smiled, kissed Qin Xuerong on the forehead, and started today's work.
Feiyue's live broadcast started! Within five minutes, the maximum number of online users reached more than 250 million, which was more than half of yesterday's.
But this is definitely data that all social platforms around the world are jealous of, because Wang Qian's continuous live broadcasts over the past week have increased traffic, and Feiyue's popularity has skyrocketed. Now it is basically not much weaker than YouTube and Twitter, and is only slightly worse than Facebook.
Several giants have fantasized about how wonderful it would be if they could bring Wang Qian under their wing and help him live stream .
They are willing to pay any price, even if it means getting $200 million for a live broadcast. They are willing to do it!
Anyway, the World Championship is only so long, and it’s only broadcast once a day, which is only a dozen times. As long as Wang Qian can attract traffic and make their market value soar, they can afford it! What a pity!
Now, they are watching Feiyue soaring with Wang Qian's unremitting support. They cannot stop it in the short term. They can only hope that after this period of popularity, Wang Qian's influence will decline and Feiyue's appeal will return to normal. At that time, they will fight back and suppress it.
bite……
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wang Qian had just finished a live broadcast on Feiyue and ended his work for the day.
Qin Xuerong received a message on his phone, took a look, and said seriously: "ByteDance sent a message that a North American capital institution valued Feiyue at 30 billion US dollars and asked us if we accept this valuation. If we accept it, they will acquire 10% of our shares at this valuation."
Wang Qian thought about it and said, "At this valuation, we will only trade 10% of the voting rights, and we will keep the shares ourselves!"
Wang Qian felt that this price was too low.
This is a brand new platform with users and activity levels that are no less than YouTube, and its development potential is unlimited.
YouTube is a global giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
Qin Xuerong replied to Wang Qian's words and immediately received a response from ByteDance. He was surprised and said, "ByteDance agreed! They said yes! They will buy 10% of our voting rights for 3 billion yuan, and we will keep the shares. They seem to be a little anxious and want to quickly take back the control of Feiyue."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Of course, now that Feiyue is developing so well, investors from all over the world are eyeing this piece of fat meat. They dare not drag it on any longer, fearing that if they can't get control by then, they will lack the right to speak in the face of investors from all over the world, and if they are not careful, they will be making things difficult for others."
Qin Xuerong understood and her eyes lit up: "Should we take this opportunity to increase our offer?"
Wang Qian shook his head: "Forget it, this price is already very sincere, there is no need. Just let it go, agree to their deal!"
Although 10% of the voting rights were given up, the shares in hand did not decrease. When the time comes to raise funds from European and American capital, the transaction value of this part of the shares will not decrease much.
In the future, when Feiyue raises funds, Wang Qian will also learn from ByteDance and try his best to control the voting rights and give up the B shares without voting rights! For capital, they just want to operate the listing and then cash out and leave.
Therefore, they have no opinion on whether they have voting rights or not. As long as the company develops well and does not affect the company's value, it is enough.
Qin Xuerong immediately started contacting ByteDance to discuss the transaction contract!
ByteDance was very eager to get it done in a short period of time. The contract had been prepared long ago and was sent directly to Qin Xuerong. They wanted to make the deal today and transfer the money tomorrow.
However, Qin Xuerong still chose to wait for two days out of caution. During these two days, he would find professional lawyers, accountants and other professionals to carefully study the contract. Only after making sure that there were no problems would he proceed with the transaction.
After all, this involves billions of dollars and the control of a global mobile Internet giant platform that may be comparable to YouTube in the future. If there is any mistake, the losses will be incalculable!
Wang Qian gave full authority to Qin Xuerong to handle the matter.
Although the two have not yet married and are only in a relationship, Wang Qian has already treated Qin Xuerong as his wife and can leave everything to her to handle with complete trust.
In this way, Wang Qian will feel better and feel less guilty towards Qin Xuerong.
Perhaps, it can be considered a little compensation.
During lunch in the afternoon.
Wang Qian had dinner with the band members, gave them the score of the new work so that they could familiarize themselves with it, and chatted with them for a long time before leaving.
Back in her room, Qin Xuerong was still busy.
Wang Qian took a break by checking his phone.
Wang Qian did not go out again at night.
After fighting four men for two consecutive nights, plus the two public rations at home, Wang Qian felt that his body really couldn't take it anymore.
If he came again tonight, Wang Qian felt that he might not be able to come back.
So, Wang Qian didn't go out.
Qin Xuerong was also very honest and let Wang Qian take a rest.
The next day! Wang Qian officially entered work mode and called the band members together to start rehearsing the last performance of the world championship.
And the outside public opinion is still extremely lively.
Although Wang Qian is still the protagonist of everyone's discussion.
But it is obvious that the appearance rates of many other celebrities, even athletes and internet celebrities, have increased significantly.
Seeing the good income, many actors and celebrities who have crossed over to release songs, as well as athletes and internet celebrities, have increased their investment and started more hype. At the same time, they have also started to invite songs and want to continue to make money by releasing songs.
The speed of this old money is obviously much faster than their own profession, and the difficulty is reduced by several levels! It takes a year and a half to prepare for a blockbuster film, plus the shooting time, it may take one or two years, and then you can get more than 20 million US dollars in salary...
What about now? It only takes half a month to produce and release a song, and they can earn tens of millions a week, and 20 million a month, without losing their popularity, and it will not affect their advertising endorsement income.
After all this calculation, how do you choose? Do you still need to think about it?
Many top actors and athletes, having tasted success, have the urge to completely switch careers and become singers.
The popularity of the pop music market surged again in an instant and did not cool down because the world championship was about to end.
The world competition program team has obviously begun to reduce the resources invested in Wang Qian, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori and others, and began to invest a lot of resources in Adam and Elizabeth, intending to make these two people responsible for the traffic and ratings of the new program.
One of them is a representative from the North American region, and the other is a representative from the British region, exactly who they need.
So, all of a sudden, the popularity of Adam and Elizabeth began to rise sharply.
"Adam's new work is going to be a huge hit."
"Winston praised Adam as an absolute musical genius, whose creative talent is no less than Wang Qian's."
"Elizabeth's latest tear-jerking new work will be performed this weekend. Are you ready to cry?"
"The strongest new diva, Ellie, is working hard to prepare new works and is participating in the creation of them throughout the process!"
"O'Connor, Lillard said Adam is the most talented young singer in North America."
…
There is less and less news and popularity about Wang Qian.
The World Championship program team and many other people thought that Wang Qian was just taking advantage of the World Championship resources. Now that the resources are gone, he will be silent and no one will pay attention to him.
The weekend has arrived without any warning.
Wang Qian once again became the most watched person in the world.
because.
This week the pop music sales charts are about to be finalized.
No matter how much the world game program team, some European and American media and industry insiders want to ignore Wang Qian, how much they want to suppress Wang Qian, and how much they want to completely prevent Wang Qian from appearing on European and American social platforms.
But!
Those numbers.
But it is something that none of them can suppress or ignore.
Even if they don't report it, don't talk about it, and don't hype it.
Many of Wang Qian’s hundreds of millions of fans around the world, as well as many ordinary people, can’t help but discuss and spread the news.
No one can stop it! Screenshots of the chart sales spread around the world.
Everyone saw it.
Still shocked.
Even so, they watched this number accumulate step by step before their eyes.
But now seeing these numbers, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked deep in their hearts.
Many people in the industry were so frightened that they didn't dare to watch it.
