Debut After Eight Years

The program group did not directly let the contestants who advanced to the second round draw lots to choose their opponents at the end of the show tonight.

Instead, it was arranged for a small program tomorrow night, inviting five contestants who advanced to the second round to participate in a live interview program on the TV station, and then a lottery was held on the spot to decide who the four contestants who would perform next week were.

It can be said……

In order to gain the popularity of the contestants, the program group used almost all the serious means available.

Temporary production of a program can reap a wave of ratings.

Because there will be a lottery to determine the order of performances next week, the ratings will definitely not be low.

Wang Qian didn't say anything when he learned about the arrangement of the program group.

After all, this is a legitimate arrangement of others, and it won't take long to participate in a talk show temporarily.

The show just ended.

Zhou Qinghua brought Oni to Wang Qian's lounge.

Seeing the two standing at the door, Wang Qian told Qin Xuerong and the others, and went out by himself.

Oni took the initiative to extend his hand to Wang Qian, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Professor Wang Qian, your performance has been successful again."

Now people in the program group also call Wang Qian Professor Wang Qian to show respect.

Wang Qian shook hands with Oni and said casually, "I should congratulate you, today's ratings should be pretty good, right?"

Seeing the other party so happy, he knew that today's ratings must be a big success.

Oni chuckled and said, "That's what brought us greater success. You have the charm to attract two billion people around the world to sit down and watch TV. This is our common victory."

Wang Qian smiled faintly: "Thank you!"

The three walked to the corner next to them.

Oni looked around and continued, "Professor Wang Qian, what suggestions do you have for next week's performance?"

Wang Qian shrugged: "I don't have any suggestions, just follow the plan, haven't you decided on your opponent yet?"

Oni nodded, and then said: "Our entire program group will try our best to arrange a better performance experience for you. If you have any requirements for next week's performance, you can tell our program group in advance. For example, the stage The arrangement of the lighting, the arrangement of the lighting, and others, etc., you can propose, and we will satisfy you!"

"Now that the first round is officially over, among the second round players, you are now the No. 1 player. This is indisputable. This is the privilege you deserve."

Oni looked at Wang Qian solemnly and said.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Qian's mouth. As an old fritter in the entertainment industry in his previous life, of course he knew the hidden meaning in Oni's words!

That is to say...

Show next week.

He must be there.

In tomorrow's draw, he can't be the bye.

As the privilege of being the number one player, he can now put forward some performance requirements, and the program team will definitely cooperate with him.

everything……

All for profit.

According to Oni.

Wang Qian knew that the global viewership of his appearance must be more than 2 billion, which would not be lower than last week's viewership.

And if he hadn't played, the viewership of other players would have been halved at least, and would be around one billion at most.

Although, a global variety show with one billion people watching is actually a huge success.

But how can a billion people compare to two billion?

Among them, the income gap is not a two-fold gap, but at least four or five times the income gap at present, and the long-term benefit gap is more than ten times.

so.

no matter what.

They will all let Wang Qian appear on the stage.

In every subsequent performance, Wang Qian is indispensable.

Wang Qian looked at Zhou Qinghua.

Zhou Qinghua understood the meaning in Wang Qian's eyes and gave Wang Qian his support. Now is the time to raise conditions.

Wang Qian's eyes flickered, looked at Oni and said: "Mr. Oni. The Voice World Championship is a global talent show. All the contestants are champions from their respective countries. It is very difficult to fight all the way. He is a talented singer who is one in a million. Our program is now attracting worldwide attention, and the contestants have also shown amazing musical talent and strength."

Oni and Zhou Qinghua both nodded.

They all knew very well that the performance of the players in the first World Championship really exceeded their expectations.

It also exceeded the imagination of all audiences and industry professionals.

This is no longer a rookie draft, it almost looks like a fight between gods and gods.

The strength and talent of each player are extremely amazing.

Then, the final champion has the highest gold content among all the talent shows in history. It is not an exaggeration to say that the gold content is higher than the Grammy Awards.

Wang Qian continued: "Then, the final champion has no prizes. Does this mean that the program group is too shabby? Doesn't it match the current status of our program?"

Oni looked up at Wang Qian instantly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "You mean, you want the program team to set a prize for the champion now?"

Wang Qian nodded, looked at Oni without giving in, and said affirmatively: "Yes, I think this may further stimulate the potential of the players, bring better performances to the audience, and attract More viewers. What do you think, Mr. Oni?"

Zhou Qinghua also looked at Wang Qian in surprise, and then looked at Wang Qian with a smile, as a spectator.

Now, it was the program team who asked Wang Qian for help.

Then, Wang Qian is naturally qualified to raise conditions.

It's just that both Oni and Zhou Qinghua were not used to it at first.

Because, in the entertainment circle, Hollywood is undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in the entertainment circles of all countries in the world, and can overlook the entertainment circles of all countries and regions.

Any actor, producer, director, etc., just need to hang up a Hollywood resume, and it will be a favorite in China immediately. Many capitals and top stars will kneel and lick cooperation. Excessive demands can still be answered in the affirmative.

Almost no one in the Chinese show business circle is qualified to put conditions on Hollywood!

Even those Chinese stars who have succeeded in Hollywood are no exception.

Although Wang Qian is not facing a major Hollywood studio now, the status of the top ten copyright parties represented by Oni is not weaker than the top Hollywood studios, and it is also the top existence in the North American entertainment circle. , has a strong position in other countries.

Wang Qian was able to put forward the conditions very calmly.

Oni looked at Wang Qian, his expression became serious, and then he said: "This is not impossible, but I need to go back and discuss with other producers."

Wang Qian nodded: "Of course!"

Oni looked at Wang Qian and said, "Actually, the program group didn't ask for the copyright of all your contestants' works, which is the biggest prize. I think, Professor Wang Qian, since you participated this time, the sales revenue of all your works will be one Astronomical figures. And this part of the income, our program group does not want a cent."

It is indeed very conscientious that the program group did not get involved in the copyright of the contestants' performances.

And this is the product of the compromise between its top ten producers.

Because except for Wang Qian, every other player has already signed a contract with a brokerage company and a record company, and the capital behind them will not allow the copyright of the player's work to be taken away by the program team, which is in their interest.

Some of them also wanted to establish a good image in the first session, so they made a lot of concessions.

However, none of them expected that Wang Qian, the only independent singer, could create such an astonishing sales performance, and the final benefit made everyone in the program group jealous just thinking about it.

Just this week's first three works sold more than 100 million at the same time, and Wang Qian's share income will reach hundreds of millions of dollars. This week's net income will reach more than 200 million US dollars.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in a single week...

This is something that everyone in Hollywood has never done, including top superstars and big-name directors.

Even in the entire decades of North American pop music history, no one has ever done it, and it is a number that no one has ever imagined.

At the same time, the sales volume of other players is very high, even if the company will share part of the final income, it is still a huge sum of money in the palm of your hand.

In Oni's view, this is already the biggest gift from the program group to all the contestants, and Wang Qian is the biggest beneficiary of it.

but……

Wang Qian still wants the final championship prize?

Oni felt that Wang Qian was greedy.

And Wang Qian looked at Oni, shook his head and said: "Actually, Mr. Oni, if the contract signed by the program group has requirements for copyright, I may refuse to participate in the World Championship! In my opinion, I created it myself. Works, performed by myself, should be mine. Even if I don’t perform here, I will be successful if I publish it myself, what do you think?”

Oni was at a loss for words!

Although he is not a professional musician, he also has basic understanding and accomplishment.

He knew that all the works released by Wang Qian since the World Championships are all excellent works that are sure to be successful, but they may be released independently, and they will not directly become popular in the world like they are now, but they will surely succeed gradually and become more and more popular. In the end, it has the potential to become a classic of the times.

The most important thing is that holding the copyright will not bring much lower income in the long run.

so!

He believed what Wang Qian said was true.

He fell silent.

After a few seconds.

Zhou Qinghua broke the silence and said, "Professor Wang, we will discuss it carefully when we go back, and we will announce a charter tomorrow at the latest."

Oni also quickly said: "Yes, Professor Wang Qian, let's go back and discuss it first."

Wang Qian nodded: "Of course! This is just a suggestion of mine, and you don't have to accept it. However, I think there are rewards to motivate us, and we will work harder to perform, and maybe we will get better inspiration because of it, right? "

Oni forced a smile: "Yes, I know! Then, let's go first, and now I will call everyone for a meeting!"

Wang Qian: "Okay, Director Zhou, Mr. Oni, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

The three separated.

Wang Qian went straight back to the lounge, met with Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue, then left the lounge and walked towards the exit to go back to the hotel to rest.

It's not far from twelve o'clock at night.

It's time to release the song.

The music circles around the world have been hyping for a week. At least a dozen singers in the pop music circles of more than a dozen countries in Europe and the United States have announced that they will release songs together to attack Wang Qian.

Therefore, Wang Qian also paid more attention to this.

He has already greeted the staff of the program group, and immediately edited the live version of the performance and sent it to him.

When Oni and Zhou Qinghua returned to the office, they immediately summoned representatives of the producers in other competition areas.

When Oni said Wang Qian's request.

All copyright parties in the conference room were in an uproar...

"God, he's threatening us?"

"What does he mean? Doesn't he perform well if he doesn't give rewards? Doesn't he want to win the championship? Others won't let him. Adam, Sophie, and Elizabeth all worked very hard, and they all have a chance to beat him."

"He didn't say he couldn't perform well, he just made a request."

"Everyone, please don't argue, I will announce a set of detailed data just now."

"When Wang Qian performed, the world's highest viewership reached 2.35 billion people. Before his performance, Sophie had the highest viewership, reaching more than 1.4 billion, followed by Elizabeth and Adam, and Nakamori Miyuki. But those pre-show viewership numbers are partly due to him because a lot of people waited for his show."

"Let's look at the number of viewers after his performance. When Jonathan performed, it plummeted, only one billion people watched it, and then continued to drop, 800 million, 600 million people, and finally rose back to 800 million viewers when Miyuki Nakamori performed. Watch..."

"I think everyone understands what Wang Qian means to us, right?"

"Although, even if we don't agree to his request, we can forcefully arrange him to perform. But what if there is any accident? What if he deliberately controlled the intensity of the performance, just enough to advance, but can't continue to detonate the world? Our The loss will be immeasurable."

"We set a championship prize, which is nothing compared to our income. We can also use this to create a wave of hype, and at the same time stabilize the emotions of Wang Qian and all the players, and the benefits will be even more in the end .”

Some analysis!

Everyone calm down.

The declining ratings curve really scared them.

With Wang Qian, and without Wang Qian, there is a gap of several grades.

"Even if a bonus is set, will he get it in the end?"

"That's not our problem, it doesn't matter who gets it, we have nothing to lose."

"Then set a bonus! Ten million dollars for the champion, and no bonus for the others!"

"Ten million US dollars is too stingy. We have caused such a big sensation in the world, and the ticket sales can also be calculated. It is only 10 million. People will not think that we are giving prizes, but think that we are very petty."

"If we want to give bonuses, it is 100 million US dollars. We are the first World Championship, and we have to do things that no one can think of. 100 million US dollars is not much compared to our total income, but we use the hype One click, it may cause a greater sensation and bring more income."

"I agree, $100 million, and then continue to hype, it will definitely detonate the world, and the revenue will definitely exceed $100 million."

"I also agree, then set a prize of 100 million US dollars for the champion!"

"agree."

"I agree too!"

"They're so lucky, I agree."

...

As soon as Christine walked out of the Staples Center with Garbo, a middle-aged man handed an invitation letter to Christine: "Chris, hello, I am Mr. Robert's agent, Robert Mr. Te will hold a party at his manor later. Chris, you are the guest he wants to invite the most, and the guests who will attend are all singers and musicians who sniped Wang Qian together in the music world. We can discuss it together, and in the next Time, how to arrange the release time reasonably and effectively can achieve the best effect of blocking the sales of Wang Qian's songs."

Is this going to launch a sniper attack on Wang Qian's alliance?

Both Christine and Garbo were taken aback.

Afterwards, Christine didn't go to accept the invitation letter, shook her head and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested. I'm not with you."

Robert's manager was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "But, aren't you going to sing with Wang Qian tonight?"

Christine nodded: "Yes, but I don't want to snipe his sales, I just want to release a song with him, sorry, I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, Christine didn't bother the other party with nonsense, just pulled Garbo and left quickly.

Agent Robert frowned, looking at the direction Christine left with a somewhat surprised and gloomy gaze.

Christine is the main person they plan to snipe Wang Qian.

They thought it would be easy to win over Christine!

After all, judging from the timing and behavior of Christine's song, it was obvious that he wanted to attack Wang Qian.

Now it seems……

Isn't that the case?

...

Wang Qian returned to the hotel, bid farewell to the band members, and then went back to the room with Qin Xuerong to take a shower.

The time is coming soon!

Wang Qian first looked at the latest list and sales.

did not expect.

In the past few hours, the sales growth of the three works has brought surprises again.

Perhaps it was because of his performance just now, which drove another wave of download sales.

This sales performance.

It's no wonder that music circles around the world can't sit still.
