Chapter 488 487. Wang Qian’s Super Attractiveness! A Ten-Billion-Dollar Cooperation? (Subscribe)
According to statistics from authoritative Hollywood media.
This week, the global film market further slumped.
The box office has dropped by as much as 30 percent compared to the same period last year, making all film production companies around the world very sad. The market value of many listed film companies has dropped like an avalanche. The six major Hollywood giants are all having a hard time, and some have begun selling copyrights in exchange for cash to get through the difficult times.
What makes it even more difficult for many major production companies is.
They couldn't find enough actors to get into the new production at the moment.
because……
Many big-name actors have entered the pop music market, and a large number of them have been successful, achieving considerable results this week and earning far more than the salary of a blockbuster movie.
This has led to more other big-name performers who were still on the sidelines entering the pop music market.
so.
This week, the pop music market prospered further.
Based on the latest data released by the authoritative statistical media in the field of world pop music.
"This week, the world pop music market increased by about 835 percent compared to the same period last year, an increase of more than eight times... and the new singer Wang Qian from China increased the sales data of the weekly sales champion by about thirty times."
"In the new week, Wang Qian will create an even more terrifying weekly sales record!"
"One billion has been achieved, but this is not the end."
This was reported two days ago!
because.
Two days ago, almost all of Wang Qian’s four works reached the billion sales threshold.
Even so, apart from some authoritative pop music statistics organizations that reported on it, many other entertainment media and the world competition program crews were selectively blind and did not report it in the first place.
However, many of Wang Qian's fans are constantly discussing the issue.
After two days of brewing.
Finally I couldn't hold it back anymore.
The public opinion that has swept the world has already formed.
The hottest topics on social media platforms around the world are all related to Wang Qian, with more than 500 million people participating in the discussion! Such explosive popularity has swept the world, and they can no longer suppress those numbers.
Then naturally many media can no longer ignore it. After all, this wave of traffic also represents huge benefits.
So, on Sunday morning.
Many social media platforms in countries around the world are flooded with reports and various analyses of the latest data on this week's sales charts.
The news topics that had been hyping up Adam, Elizabeth, Ellie, Yunna, Xina and others in the past few days suddenly disappeared.
Adam has been very successful recently. The works he released after leaving the world competition stage were a huge success. He completely proved himself and also got the first share of the music download platform. He earned a huge sum of hundreds of millions of dollars in one go, achieved financial freedom, and is about to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
but.
Looking at Wang Qian’s terrifying sales figures.
Adam is still trying.
Although the media has been hyping him up these days, he is really working hard and devoting himself wholeheartedly to his creations.
In tonight’s farewell performance for the World Championship, he wants to try his best to be the most dazzling person on this stage.
Clean up.
Adam left the room and was about to go to the new performance venue to familiarize himself with the place and rehearse when the phone rang.
Buzz buzz buzz...
It was the agent calling.
Adam answered immediately: "I'm on my way to the venue, is everything arranged there?"
The agent also quickly said, "The performance venue has been negotiated. Wang Qian, Sophie, and Miyuki Nakamori have no reservations in the morning, so the morning is available for the rest of us to rehearse."
Adam felt a little unhappy when he heard that it was his turn because Wang Qian, Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori gave up.
Of course, he didn't have any thoughts about Wang Qian and Sophie. He no longer had any thoughts of surpassing or being jealous of them.
He just felt uncomfortable that Miyuki Nakamori had a higher priority than him?
when.
Has this place become the territory of singers from the island country?
As a North American genius, Adam naturally has a psychological advantage over Miyuki Nakamori who comes from an island country.
Wang Qian conquered him time and time again with his talent and incredible sales.
But why did Miyuki Nakamori win? Even though Miyuki Nakamori was above him on the sales list this week.
However, the gap was not too exaggerated, and he believed that he would be able to surpass it sooner or later.
so.
He said with a little dissatisfaction: "Did Miyuki Nakamori also get support from the program team?"
The agent said: "I don't know, but the production team will definitely not take care of her deliberately. Because, like Wang Qian and Sophie, she rejected the invitation of the production team's new program. This is no longer a secret."
"The first person invited to the new program was Wang Qian. However, Wang Qian refused. I heard that the program team communicated with Wang Qian several times, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement. Wang Qian's request seemed to be too excessive, and the program team could not give in. Then, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and even Kristen and Green all refused the program team's invitation."
"This is the news I just heard from the program team this morning. Adam, this is your chance. You may be the most popular singer on the new program stage, and you will get most of the resources from the program team... Perhaps, this is your chance to surpass Wang Qian."
When Adam heard the news, his eyes lit up with excitement.
Although he was conquered by the talent and sales of Wang Qian's works, if there was a chance to surpass such a terrifying Wang Qian, he certainly wouldn't want to miss it!
If you can defeat Wang Qian.
Adam couldn't even imagine how much benefit he would get, he knew he would get everything he wanted.
Sales, money, awards, status in the music industry and more!
besides……
Sophie!
Adam still has Sophie in his heart.
Such a perfect and stunning goddess, it is impossible for anyone to forget.
He believed that if he defeated Wang Qian, he would have a chance to get close to Sophie and make Sophie look at him differently...
“That’s great.”
Adam was so excited that his voice became louder.
but.
The agent immediately added: "There is another bad news."
Adam smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what bad news you have, man. Just tell me."
The agent said directly: "The Grammys have reported that there is no clear information about your Best New Artist Award. The organizing committee said that everything will be fair, open and just! I asked people a few more times and they said that the organizing committee might give the Best New Artist Award to Wang Qian... This might be the condition for Wang Qian to agree to participate in the Grammy Gala."
The smile on Adam's face froze instantly, as if time had stood still.
A full half minute passed.
His agent’s call woke him up: “Adam? Are you still listening? You need to calm down. It’s just a Best New Artist award, which means nothing. Best Singer, Best Album, and Best Single are the real big awards. I think if you beat Wang Qian head-on this year, your name will definitely be on the list for the next Grammy Awards.”
Adam gradually came to his senses. The smile on his face had disappeared. He said in a serious voice, "But they had already promised me. Why did they suddenly change their minds?"
The agent said earnestly, "Adam, you have to learn to adapt to all this. This is the world's largest world of fame and fortune! Fame and fortune are the ultimate goals they pursue. Wang Qian can bring more fame and fortune, so they chose Wang Qian, do you understand? Just like I said, if you can beat Wang Qian this year, then you can bring them more fame and fortune, and they will choose you next time."
“In fact, I understand their choice.”
Adam knew this was true, but he still asked, "Why do you understand them?"
The agent said seriously: "Just look at the horrific figures on the sales chart this week and you will understand. If we lose Wang Qian, the status of the Grammys in the world may be questioned."
Adam: “I see.”
The best group of singers ignored the existence of the Grammy Awards. Isn’t the Grammy Awards in an awkward situation?
Adam immediately understood Grammy's choice.
Agent: "Then I will arrange a rehearsal for the concert. This venue is very large, five times larger than the Staples Center. It can accommodate up to 100,000 people. A concert with 100,000 people is a super large concert in the world. This is also an opportunity for you... Come on, Adam."
Adam said absentmindedly, "Okay!"
Hang up the phone.
Adam opened the latest sales list and took a look. Although he had already looked at it in the morning, when he looked at the numbers again, he still felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.
All major social media platforms are also filled with crazy reports about these numbers.
No one can stop it.
No one can ignore it.
No one can hide.
"Can I really beat him?"
Adam looked at the terrifying number and asked himself unconfidently.
Even though the new program prepared by the world competition program team does not include Wang Qian, Sophie, and Christine, the three biggest singers in the world, he can monopolize most of the resources of the program team.
However, he has no confidence that he can beat Wang Qian in sales.
and……
He was full of questions...
The new show does not include Wang Qian and Sophie.
Can he still have the same viewership and popularity as the current World Championship?
Can he shoulder the responsibility of fulfilling the expectations of this new program?
Adam thought of Wang Qian, who shocked the world with his works on the world stage.
He asked himself...
He can't do it!
…
Oni is currently in the program team's office, also watching the latest news reports.
The Wall Street Journal once again listed a set of data.
"One hundred and thirty-five million!"
"One hundred and thirteen million."
"One billion and ninety-seven million."
"One billion and ninety million..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The sum of these four numbers is more than 4.4 billion!
"This week hasn't ended yet, but the cumulative global sales of Wang Qian's four works have reached a terrifying 4.4 billion! With just these four works, he has created a turnover of 4.4 billion US dollars, and he will personally take away 2.2 billion US dollars in pre-tax income."
"Popular music will become the most profitable industry in a short period of time..."
"Thanks to the explosion of pop music, the market value of the world's largest music download platform has more than tripled to a terrifying $200 billion, and the market value of its parent company has also increased by nearly $100 billion! And most of the credit for all this can be said to be created by Wang Qian alone."
…
Oni knew better.
Because of Wang Qian, the market value of the companies behind the top ten copyright holders of the World Championship also skyrocketed, generally increasing by more than five times.
The market value of the TV stations cooperating with them also soared by more than 50%. Taking into account the advertising fees they received, the TV stations are the biggest winners.
And this!
Although it is not the credit of Wang Qian alone, more than 60% of the credit can definitely be attributed to Wang Qian alone.
Thinking about the new program, we were unable to invite Wang Qian, so only Adam would be the host.
Oni felt uncertain! Now the show crew is enjoying all the prosperity...
What if Wang Qian is gone by then.
Will you still be there?
Oni thought that after the performance tonight, they would officially part ways with Wang Qian, and he couldn't help feeling confused and terrified. His hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
The higher you stand, the more afraid you are of falling! That’s how Oni feels now.
But.
He also knew that the program team would never agree to Wang Qian's conditions.
"Why!"
Oni sighed.
Then I looked at the other people on the sales list.
Except Wang Qian.
Sophie still holds the fifth place, and her sales have reached a record high of over 670 million, making her the person closest to Wang Qian in the history of pop music.
This sales volume is truly terrifying, but it pales in comparison to Wang Qian’s first four numbers.
The sixth and seventh are both Christine, whose sales are almost the same as Sophie, with only a difference of 5 million, at 670 million and 660 million respectively. Christine's sales can also be described as horrific.
The two of them deserve the hype in the European and American music scene, but the program crew will not spend any resources on them.
The eighth and ninth places are both Sophie, with sales of 640 million and 630 million respectively. Sophie's three singles all sold over 600 million in the first week. Her historical status is almost the same as Christine's. The only thing missing is a formal album and an award.
The last person in the top ten, the tenth place, is still Miyuki Nakamori, whose sales volume has reached over 490 million, shocking the people in the music industry around the world. This is without any bonus of world competition resources, and she is several levels ahead of everyone else.
See the numbers.
Oni knew that this represented pure popularity and US dollars that could be converted into cash.
pity.
This has nothing to do with them anymore.
"I hope Adam and Elizabeth won't let us down. We don't expect to earn as much as we did in the World Championships, but we'll be satisfied with a third of that."
Oni consoled himself, then picked up the phone and said, "Sell the last 10,000 tickets for the event."
The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Should we raise the price a bit? There are so many people around the world who want to buy tickets. The purchase price on second-hand websites has reached $100,000, and that's just for the most common back-row tickets, which is twice as high as our selling price. I think we can directly price these last 10,000 tickets at $100,000. The ten first-row tickets can be priced at $2.5 million."
Oni asked worriedly, "Is it too high?"
The person on the other end of the phone confidently said, "Mr. O'Neal, we can announce now that this is Wang Qian's last public performance in North America. The Grammys and Oscars are both in a month or two, and they are not open to the public. There is no comparison with our performance... I think Wang Qian's crazy fans will pay for it."
Oni thought about it and said, "Okay, you decide the price."
"Don't worry, Mr. O'Neill, leave it to me."
The phone hung up.
Oni looked at the news on the second-hand website again and found that the live tickets for the farewell performance of the World Championship were indeed the most sought-after second-hand trading items. The most ordinary back-row tickets were already as high as US$100,000, and some were offered for US$130,000.
The prices for the first row tickets were even more terrifying, as high as $2.7 million, much higher than the $1.5 million they had sold before.
It’s not like Oni had not thought about setting a higher price for the tickets than for Wang Qian’s previous performances.
However, this time they moved to a new venue that can accommodate 100,000 spectators, and the number of tickets for the front, middle, and back areas is several times more than that of the Staples Center. The live viewing experience is naturally not as good as that of the Staples Center, so he cannot set the price so high.
And now looking at the hot situation.
Oni knew that his estimate of Wang Qian's attraction was still conservative.
He clicked on the ticket sales website, he wanted to see the latest availability!
But.
One click.
He saw the tickets that had just been put on the shelves.
The title is: Wang Qian's last performance in North America, don't miss it! Ordinary tickets in the back row cost as much as $150,000.
Ten front row tickets, $3.5 million each! O’Neill greeted with a smile on his face.
This is much higher than the price we just discussed? Can you sell it?
Next second.
As soon as he refreshed his screen, his eyes instantly widened like bells! Because...
Just one second.
The page shows it is sold out.
It shows that it is no longer available for purchase.
"God!"
Oni exclaimed.
He has seen the world.
I’ve seen the market frenzy caused by tickets for Wang Qian’s previous performances.
But now, he knows that he has always underestimated Wang Qian's market influence and appeal.
Let’s do a quick calculation to figure out the ticket revenue for this show that attracted 100,000 people.
Oni felt his whole body tremble.
"How about not creating a new show and just gather Wang Qian and the other nine contestants for a world tour? If every show is so popular, we will definitely make a fortune!"
Oni thought of this idea in his mind.
Now.
He took action and called Wang Qian.
At this moment, Wang Qian, Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet and others were resting.
Today is the last day of rehearsal.
For just one piece of work, the group had already become familiar with the routine and were able to work together very well.
So, today I just took a long walk, then went back to rest, and in the afternoon I went to the venue for a long walk, and then there was the performance in the evening.
Wang Qian was chatting about music with his student Juliet. Juliet, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, and the experienced Zhao Wei and He Fulin all looked like good students, standing beside them and listening very attentively.
Qin Xuerong's cell phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a call from the program team. She wanted to hang up so as not to disturb Wang Qian's impromptu lecture.
However, thinking about the performance tonight, maybe because of this? For the time being, the two sides are still in a cooperative relationship.
Qin Xuerong still answered the call.
"Hi, Miss Qin, I have a $10 billion business deal with Wang Qian."
Oni said excitedly.
Is he a scammer? Is there also telecom fraud in North America?
Qin Xuerong looked at the number in confusion, making sure she was not mistaken.
