Debut After Eight Years

Although, the program group, many contestants and many commentators have repeatedly emphasized that the opening performance of the World Championship will not be included in the results and rankings, and will not affect the subsequent rankings and results of the competition. It is just a pure opening performance.

but……

No one will believe it!

Each player and the team behind them know that from the moment they step on stage to make their debut, the competition with other players has already begun.

Even in this opening performance, there will be no ratings and results for their performance, and no one will be eliminated.

However, the repertoire they performed will be sold on the market, and will also be ranked by the billboard record data.

These are opportunities to shine!

The ones ranked higher will definitely attract more people's attention, and they will definitely get more people's first impression points in the next competition!

This is an advantage that is visible to the naked eye, and it is also the first opportunity to widen the gap with other players!

Behind the rankings?

Sorry, if there is no absolutely amazing performance in the next official competition, then there is a high probability that it will be a round trip.

so!

The fact is that cruel.

Competition and competition, from the moment of appearance, has already begun!

Even, from the end of the opening performance, the fate of some contestants may have been determined.

However, no one is willing to accept the fate they have been assigned.

so!

While the show was still going on, the teams behind many contestants and the rights holders of The Voice in their own countries were investing resources to hype up their contestants, hoping to raise a wave of attention and popularity.

However, from the moment Wang Qian appeared on stage, many of their operations seemed meaningless.

They couldn't compete for the possibility of a hot topic when Wang Qian was performing, and the screen was full of discussions about Wang Qian!

Even though Wang Qian has stepped down, when the next players come out, the discussion about Wang Qian remains high, and they have nothing to do about it.

Because the topicality of Wang Qian is simply too high.

At the end of the show.

When Wang Qian was interviewed by Diana, Diana asked: "Do you think your opponent in the next round, Jonathan, is a threat to you?"

Wang Qian: "There is no threat. In fact, I think Jonathan can consider booking a flight ticket back to China. His performance tonight didn't have any highlights. I still can't remember what he sang."

Diana: "Before the performance, everyone said that you didn't prepare for this performance. Because you wrote a book in China, and after you came over, you contacted Sophie and Taylor to rehearse Rhapsody in the Magic City. But your performance was very The success is astonishing, how did you do it? Or, have you already prepared for it?"

Wang Qian pointed to his forehead: "Genius does not need to prepare. I just let my bandmates practice the accompaniment well, and leave the rest to me."

Diana looked at Wang Qian with strange eyes, moved a little closer to Wang Qian, and continued to ask: "So, many people want to know, what type of music are you best at? Is it piano music? ? Or rock and roll?”

Wang Qian: "As long as it's music, I'm good at it!"

Diana: "Oh? All the music? All the instruments?"

Wang Qian looked directly at the camera and said affirmatively, "Yes, you can say that!"

With obvious disbelief in her eyes, Diana thought that Wang Qian was bragging: "Okay, then how did you manage to change your voice and perform difficult singing? I think this is the question most people want to know the answer to! A lot of professionals say it's impossible."

Wang Qian smiled: "Others can't do it, but I can! I will surprise everyone in the next performance."

Diana: "Okay, thank you Mr. Wang Qian for your cooperation, and I am very much looking forward to your next performance. Of course, I also hope that Mr. Wang Qian's opponent, Mr. Jonathan, can prepare well to make the game more suspenseful!"

Wang Qian nodded, then turned and left!

This interview was the one with the most views among Diana's many post-match interviews. It was just posted on the official website of Youtube Good Voice, and it immediately had millions of views, far surpassing Adam, Sophie and others!

The number of messages reached tens of thousands in an instant!

"I really like this song Itsmylife! Hurry up and upload it, I want to download it."

"God, if he did, he's a song god, yes, he's a song god."

"I think he was bragging, he was just trying to create a stunt."

"Adam is the most gifted singer."

"Sophie is the most beautiful, she looks like an angel who has fallen from heaven when she sings."

"You don't really believe what he says, do you? He's clearly a blowhard."

"I don't care if he's bragging or not. I just want to know, can I download Rhapsody and Itsmylife now? I can't wait to listen to it. It's best to have a version with a video. Watching the video is the best feeling!"

"Tonight's performance, he gave me the biggest surprise and the deepest impression. I only remember three performances now, two of which are performed by this Huaxia player, and the other performance is by Sophie. The performances of other players, I don’t remember any! Except Taylor’s piano solo, of course.”

"Shit, hurry up and download it..."

...

Many European and American audiences also expressed their eagerness to download the performance tracks.

so!

The action of the program group is also very fast.

Half an hour after the performance ended, all eleven performances of the opening performance were uploaded to the largest music download platform in North America. Among them, Wang Qian had two performances, the opening piano performance, and the follow-up official performance!

The other contestants had only one official performance, even the part where Sophie played the piano piece to Xue Rong was cut out, because she did not have sufficient written authorization from Wang Qian, and Taylor's piano solo was not authorized to the organizer to operate .

After all the contestants' performances are paid for download, the net income after deducting the platform share is divided 50-50 by the program group and the contestants. The contestants contributed to the singing, and the program team also contributed resources to promote it, so everyone did not have much controversy over the 50-50 split, and they all signed the contract in advance.

The contestants should have taken advantage of the program group.

However, the Good Voice program group will not take all of this part of the income of the contestants. From their point of view, this part of the income is not much, and it is hardly worth mentioning compared with the advertising fees and licensing fees they collect around the world , just give the contestants some benefits to make them more motivated to perform.

First of all, many viewers from the world's top ten competition areas flocked to the North American music download platform to download the works of these ten contestants to express their support for the contestants in their own competition area!

People in other countries who have no contestants and are purely spectators have almost abandoned this sentiment of supporting their own people, and instead downloaded their favorite works.

Oni, the interim general manager of the international competition operation group, looked at various real-time data at the headquarters with a slightly nervous expression.

A middle-aged woman walked over quickly, handed a stack of documents to Oni, and said with a smile: "Mr. Oni, don't be nervous, we made a very good start, here are the various data for tonight's performance, You will be pleasantly surprised."

Oni quickly took it over and looked at it carefully, and said at the same time: "Have all the tracks been uploaded?"

The middle-aged woman said seriously: "It's all been uploaded!"

Oni nodded: "Well, the data can be sent to me at any time!"

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Okay, sir."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged woman turned and left.

Oni looked intently at the data on the pages of paper, and his expression became more and more relaxed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually revealed that he couldn't hide it.

On the paper is the trend chart of the audience ratings of tonight's opening performance in various countries!

The trends of the graphs in various countries are almost the same, but the specific data are different.

It's not purely driving high and going low, because there is a peak in the middle part.

It was when Wang Qian performed.

In the beginning, the piano performances of Taylor and Wang Qian had the highest ratings, which were higher than those of Adam and Sophie. If this continues, it may be a trend of highs and lows. It was the highest at the beginning. The follow-up continued to decrease until the lowest ratings at the end. This is definitely a relatively unsuccessful trend, because the show did not retain the audience!

When Taylor performed, it was the first one at the opening, so the number of viewers was very high. There were more than 800 million people around the world who watched it. Then when Wang Qian took Taylor, Sophie and others to play the piano music together, the number of viewers rose again, reaching 9. More than 100 million, almost broke one billion, but Adam dropped a wave when he was performing, and lost more than 400 million viewers from his appearance to his departure...

However, Wang Qian's performance in the middle has increased the ratings a lot. The ratings of all countries have obviously risen, even North America is no exception. At its peak, there were more than 70 million viewers in North America. Watching Wang Qian's performance, more than 300 million people in Huaxia watched it, and an estimated one billion people around the world watched it, far exceeding the appearance data of other players.

Except for Wang Qian, it was Sophie who had the highest ratings when she appeared on stage, and it is estimated that more than 600 million people around the world watched it.

Adam is the third, with more than 500 million people expected to watch it worldwide!

Later, after Wang Qian's performance ended, the ratings dropped significantly. When Miyuki Nakamori appeared, it was estimated that only about 500 million people around the world watched it, which was almost half of the peak of Wang Qian's performance!

Of course, the ratings data of simply looking at Sen Miyuki is not bad, not worse than Adam, but she is ranked behind Wang Qian, so it dropped by 50% in an instant, which seems very low.

And the data behind made Oni frown even more!

Because, after Miyuki Nakamori's performance, the ratings of other people dropped rapidly again, with an average of only about 300 to 400 million viewers watching, and in the end only more than 200 million viewers were watching...

visible!

The next few players are really not very popular in the world.

Of course, this is a comparison with the previous players.

Looking at the individual alone, it is not bad for one person to attract 200 million viewers.

only……

Oni saw the ratings of Wang Qian and Sophie's performance, and he had a higher idea in his heart.

This data far exceeded their initial expectations!

This is the first World Championship, so they expected that the ratings might not be too high. It is enough for 500 million people around the world to watch it. As the competition progresses, they will further hype the players to attract more people. Come and watch, breaking through one billion at the peak is a huge success.

Therefore, when they publicize to the outside world, they also use the one billion viewers around the world as a gimmick. This is not because they think that there will be one billion viewers at the beginning, but to publicize the highest follow-up results in advance, so as to attract more people. Eyes and heat.

None of them expected...

The opening show can really reach a billion viewers.

Bragging about it, it turned out to be easy from the start.

Although it was only Wang Qian's performance time alone.

However, it has been a success far beyond expectations.

Oni picked up the phone and called several assistants, looked at the data, and discussed it together.

Among them, George from the copyright owner of The Voice of North America, looked at the data and frowned and said, "So, is this Huaxia player our current ratings guarantee?"

The other parties looked thoughtful.

Oni nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes. During the previous performance, the director Zhou of Huaxia Haosheng contacted me to increase resources for him. I have agreed to raise the resources of Huaxia players to a level, equal to Sophie! "

George frowned and said, "But, this doesn't match the ranking!"

Oni said seriously: "George, we are businessmen, we should see the benefits. And, please put away your damn discrimination."

George's complexion became even more ugly, and he said softly: "I think we should wait and see. We'll see the situation in his next game. Because what he said in this performance is too difficult to realize. If If we increase his publicity investment now, it will be equal to Adam. If he does not realize what he said in the next show, the negative effect will be even greater! It may even affect the reputation of our entire show."

"I think we should take this risk into consideration and have some reservations about him. Moreover, I think it is a very good result to raise him to the same level of treatment as Sophie in such a short period of time."

George's words were supported by several other people!

After all, this is the first World Championship, so everyone is more cautious!

But also because.

They also recognized George's evaluation of Wang Qian.

Because, they all felt that what Wang Qian said at the performance was too unbelievable and impossible to realize!

They are all senior personnel engaged in music work. Even if they are not professional musicians, they still have brilliant appreciation and extensive knowledge.

They have never seen a singer who can change his voice at will and sing at a high natural level.

Wang Qian's performance tonight was amazing enough.

They really couldn't believe that Wang Qian's follow-up performances will be performed at the same level with new voices!

That's almost impossible...

Of course, they won't question their players outside, but they have some rational thoughts in their hearts, thinking that Wang Qian is unlikely to do it, maybe they want to create topics and heat to attract more people to support them.

If we continue to improve Wang Qian's publicity resources now, will he fail in the next performance?

At that time, more than one billion viewers around the world will be disappointed, and then they will feel disgusted with the entire program, which will affect the follow-up overall ratings, and even affect next year's World Championship.

so!

They can't afford to lose!

The German representative immediately said: "I agree with George."

Zhang Zhilong, the representative from the Huaxia program group, also immediately said: "I disagree, I believe that Wang Qian will be able to do it. It will definitely bring surprises to everyone. We invest more publicity resources now, and then we can reap more viewers, bringing higher ratings!"

However, the words of the Huaxia representative were ignored.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, not to mention that the representatives of the ten country program groups here have their own demands!

Naturally, everyone doesn't want to see the Huaxia players and the Huaxia program group dominate.

Therefore, when there is room for manipulation, and under the condition that Huaxia players can still be questioned, they will tacitly come to suppress a wave!

George hopes that Adam will continue to enjoy the best treatment, so as to increase the chances of winning the championship and bring huge benefits to the North American program group.

The German representative naturally didn't want his player Jonathan to be eliminated by Wang Qian in the next round, so he also suppressed Wang Qian!

Representatives from other competition areas also naturally hope that their players will win, so they don't want Wang Qian to enjoy too many resources...

Especially now that Wang Qian is still being questioned, they can still suppress him!

If Wang Qian really does what he said in the next game.

Then it will be impossible for them to suppress it at that time.

Oni does not belong to any of the producers of their top ten divisions, but a professional manager hired by them together, and everything will be based on interests!

Therefore, when the interests of Wang Qian cannot be suppressed and questioned, then Oni will insist on putting interests first, and other people must also agree for long-term considerations.

At this time.

Oni looked at the real-time data transmitted from the computer, projected it on the screen in the conference room, looked at George and the others, and said lightly: "This is the ten-minute uploaded data of the repertoire tonight. Let's see, what do you want to say?"

Everyone quickly looked over!

Then, George, the German representative and others all sank in their hearts!

number one.

It's Wang Qian's Itsmylife, the download data in five minutes has exceeded 1.5 million, which is an absolutely amazing data in the European and American pop music circles.

The record that Christine once set was only more than 2 million downloads in one minute, but then the download data will drop rapidly, reaching 20 million downloads in a single day.

And now, Wang Qian's single has reached 1.5 million downloads in just five minutes, which is an absolutely amazing achievement for a newcomer who is publicly appearing in North America for the first time!

only……

Most of them don't know much about Wang Qian's data in China, so they are very surprised.

On the other hand, the representative of the Huaxia program group had a calm expression. He picked up his mobile phone and looked at the download data of Wang Qian’s Rhapsody of the Magic City on Qianqianjing. !

If it can be included in the download data of the Huaxia region, then in terms of sales data, Wang Qian is almost invincible, and no one can beat it!

After all, behind Wang Qian stood more than a billion Chinese people.

Who among the other players can gather more than one billion supporters all over the world?

No one can do it.

Therefore, the organizers and major organizations in Europe and the United States ignore the data in China, and they are actually protecting other players.

Otherwise, there is no need to compare the sales data, and the Huaxia players will directly be the first.

However, it would be too unfair for the Huaxia players to discard the data from the Huaxia region!

The champion players in Europe and the United States have a large fan base and popularity in Europe and the United States, but Wang Qian is almost a pure rookie here, and it is far more difficult than other players to attract people to download his work from scratch!

And now Wang Qian can reach the top.

In the hearts of many producers at the scene, they all clearly understood that this Wang Qian is really awesome!

It's just that everyone didn't say it.

The second place is the song sung by Sophie, with a download data of 800,000. Although it is already very high, it is a full 700,000 lower than Wang Qian, almost double the gap.

However, everyone was very impressed with Sophie's performance, so it's no surprise!

only……

No one expected the third position!

George and the German representatives stared at each other with their brows beating.

Because, the third one is still Wang Qian!

Magic City Rhapsody, got 700,000 downloads in Europe and America within five minutes.

this……

Everyone looked at each other, looked at each other for a while, with complicated emotions, and didn't know what to say.

Oni saw everyone's emotions, and said lightly: "There can't be a problem with this data. China's Wang Qian took the first and third place alone!"

Everyone continued to read with mixed emotions.

The fourth place is Adam, with a download data of 600,000, which is already a good data, but compared with the previous Wang Qian and Sophie, the gap is a bit big.

This made George look very ugly, and everyone else felt strange as well.

After all, the program team invested the most resources in Adam, but the opening results were so mediocre, not to mention the first, he didn't even make the top three!

This doesn't match the enthusiasm that has been hyped before!

Elizabeth is fifth. The difference between the download data and Adam is only about 50,000, reaching more than 550,000.

Miyuki Nakamori is sixth, with a download data of 500,000, and the gap is very small!

However, the gap between the other players gradually widened, and they were all below 400,000. The German player Jonathan ranked eighth, with only 300,000 downloads!

certainly……

This is just the cumulative data for the first five minutes.

For each individual player, it is already a good statistic.

However, looking at the world, it seems very ordinary.

Because they have enjoyed the halo blessing of the Good Voice World Championship, and the attention is extremely high, and it is only natural that they get good data.

Therefore, they have to compare with their opponents on the same stage...

This comparison!

And that's where the gap comes in.

Seeing that everyone was relatively silent, the representative of the Huaxia program group said, "Everyone, I think, I have another piece of data here that I can share with you!"

Everyone looked at the Huaxia representative.

Oni stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, take it out!"

Huaxia representative Zhang Zhilong took out his mobile phone and said: "Wang Qian uploaded the complete song recorded during the afternoon rehearsal of Rhapsody in the Magic City to our Huaxia Qianqian Jingting platform half an hour ago! Now, half an hour has passed, guess what? How many downloads?"

North American representative George frowned at China representative Zhang Zhilong, and said with a frown, "Zhang, your data in China are all fake, I don't think it has any reference value."

This is the inherent impression of many European and American media people, who do not recognize some of Huaxia's data at all, thinking that it is all fake.

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhilong, and they all supported George's words.

Oni said: "Zhang, you can read it out, let's listen."

Zhang Zhilong nodded: "In just a little over half an hour, Wang Qian's uploaded Rhapsody of the Magic City has received more than 11 million downloads in China..."

Before Zhang Zhilong finished speaking, George interrupted immediately, and said in a firm voice: "Zhang, this kind of exaggerated data is fake at first glance, so don't say any more, it will only waste everyone's time."

Zhang Zhilong said without showing any weakness: "George, I think you should give up your prejudice against China. I dare say that this data is absolutely true and does not contain any moisture!"

George sneered and said, "Is this possible? Forty minutes, more than 10 million downloads? Even Christine can't do it! You Huaxia has been cheating on various data since more than 20 years ago, and the piracy is very serious. Too much, it's not worth believing."

Zhang Zhilong: "That was in the past, the situation is different now!"

George stared at Zhang Zhilong: "Anyway, I won't believe the data you said. Unless, he can do the same thing on the North American platform!"

The German representative also immediately said: "Yes, the data you mentioned is meaningless! It is impossible for him to get the same data in North America."

Zhang Zhilong was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because, he doesn't think that Wang Qian will be able to get the same data as Qianqianjingting on the North American download platform in the future.

Although there are many developed countries in Europe and the United States and the consumption level is extremely high, there are many nationalities and languages, so it is impossible to unify and support a certain work of a certain person. The works pile up exaggerated data.

This is also the reason why Christine's download data does not look as good as Wang Qian's download data in Huaxia!

No matter how popular Christine's single is, it is impossible to become popular in all countries such as Europe and the United States, so it is impossible to attract all potential users to download.

But……

Wang Qian's songs can explode in China, and the audience can reach 1.4 billion people, attracting a considerable part of the 1.4 billion people to download!

The most important thing is that China's economic development is not comparable to that of 20 years ago, and the consumption level has been greatly improved. Hundreds of millions of young people are very willing to spend a few dollars to download a few favorite songs.

And let Wang Qian achieve the same appeal in Europe and America as he did in China?

Zhang Zhilong dare not even dream of such a thing.

This is something that no one has ever done in the history of European and American pop music.

There are always some countries where most people are not interested in English songs, no matter how popular they are, they are unwilling to listen to them.

so.

Zhang Zhilong fell silent and stopped talking.

George glanced at Zhang Zhilong proudly, and said, "Mr. O'Neill, this result is only temporary. Now that the show has just ended, everyone's downloading is just based on the first impression, and the follow-up is the time to test the potential of each contestant. And , Wang Qian is a player who likes to talk big and is very easy to kill himself, we need to be careful!"

Oni looked at Zhang Zhilong. To be honest, he didn't really believe Zhang Zhilong's data, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it, let's wait and see! Give Wang Qian the same resource treatment as Sophie first." ... Next, let's discuss the plan for the next game..."

Everyone looks upright!

The next match will be their first official match in the World Championship.

It's the real highlight!

If messed up.

Then it will be difficult for them to get up behind.

so!

Everyone raised all their attention, expressed their thoughts, and discussed how to increase the ratings together!

...

And now!

Audiences from all over the world who are paying attention to The Voice World Championships are all excited.

because.

On the bulletin board, the temporary download data ranking of the top ten players in the Voice World Championship appeared.

There was another slight change in Wang Qian's ranking.
