Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 271. This Wang Qian is so awesome! (Please subscribe!)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!
Although, the program team, many players and many commentators have repeatedly emphasized that the opening performance of the World Championship will not be counted in the results and rankings, and will not affect the rankings and results of subsequent competitions. It is just an opening performance.
But
No one will believe it!
Each player and the team behind them knows that the competition against other players begins the moment they step onto the stage.
Even at this opening performance, there will be no ratings or results for their performance, and no one will be eliminated.
However, the tracks they perform will be on the market and will be ranked by Billboard records.
These are opportunities to show off!
The top ranking will definitely attract more people's attention, and will definitely get more people's first impression points in the next competition!
These are all advantages visible to the naked eye, and they are also the first opportunity to widen the gap with other players!
Lagging behind?
I'm sorry, if we don't have an absolutely amazing performance in the next official competition, then there is a high probability that we will be eliminated in the first round.
So!
The truth is so cruel.
The competition and competition have already begun from the moment of debut!
In fact, the fate of some contestants may have been determined from the end of the opening performance.
However, no one is willing to accept their assigned fate.
So!
While the show is still going on, the teams behind many contestants and the copyright holders of The Voice in their home countries are investing resources to promote their contestants, hoping to increase attention and popularity.
However, from the moment Wang Qian appeared on the stage, many of their operations seemed meaningless.
They couldn't compete for the possibility of a hot topic when Wang Qian was performing. The screen was filled with discussions about Wang Qian!
Even though Wang Qian has stepped down, when subsequent contestants appear, the discussion about Wang Qian remains high, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Because Wang Qian is so topical.
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 should consider booking a flight back to China. There were no highlights in his performance tonight, and I still can't remember what he sang."
Diana: "Before the performance, everyone said that you were not prepared for this performance. Because you wrote a novel in China, and after you came here, you contacted Sophie and Taylor to rehearse Rhapsody. But you The performance was very successful and amazing. How did you do it? Or were you prepared for it? ”
Wang Qian pointed to his forehead: "Geniuses don't need to prepare. I just let my band mates practice accompaniment and leave the rest to me."
Diana looked at Wang Qian with a strange look. She 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?"
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 Wang Qian was bragging: "Okay, so how do you change your voice to perform difficult singing? I think this is the answer that most people want to know. Problem! Many professionals say this is impossible. ”
Wang Qian smiled: "Others can't do it, but I can! I will also surprise everyone in the next performance."
Diana: "Okay, thank you Mr. Wang Qian for your cooperation. 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 is the one with the highest views among Diana’s many post-match interviews. It was just posted on the official website of Good Voice YouTube and immediately had millions of views, far more than Adam and Sophie. people!
The number of people leaving messages instantly reached tens of thousands!
"I like this itsmylife very much! Hurry up and upload it. I want to download it."
"God, if he really did it, then he is the **** of singing, yes, he is the **** of singing."
"I think he is bragging, he just wants to create a gimmick."
"Adam is the most talented singer."
"Sophie is the most beautiful. When she sings, she is like an angel falling from heaven."
"You don't really believe what he says, do you? It's obvious that he is a braggart."
“I don’t care if he is bragging, I just want to know, is it possible to download Magic City Rhapsody and itsmylife now? I can’t wait to listen to it, preferably the version with video, watching the video will make me feel the most ! ”
"Tonight's performance, he gave me the biggest surprise and the deepest impression. I only remember three performances now, two of which were by this Chinese player, and the other one was by Sophie. Other players I don’t even remember the performance! Except for 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 program team also acted quickly.
Half an hour after the performance, all eleven performances from the opening show were uploaded to the largest music download platform in North America. Among them, Wang Qian had two performances, the opening piano performance, and the subsequent official performance!
The other contestants only had one official performance. Even the part where Sophie played the piano piece to Xuerong was cut because she did not obtain sufficient written authorization from Wang Qian, and Taylor's piano solo was not authorized to Sponsor operation.
After all contestants pay to download their performance tracks, the net income after excluding the platform share will be split 50-50 between the program team and the contestants. The contestants contributed their efforts in singing, and the program team also contributed resources and resources to promote it, so everyone did not have much controversy about the 50-50 split, and they all signed the contract in advance.
The contestants should have taken advantage of the program team.
However, the Good Voice program team will not fully occupy this part of the contestants' income. In their view, this part of the income is not much. Compared with the advertising fees and licensing fees they collect around the world, it is almost nothing. It is worth mentioning that we will provide some benefits to the players to make them more motivated to perform.
First of all, many viewers from the top ten major competition regions in the world have flocked to the North American music download platform to download the works of these ten players to express their support for the players in their own competition region!
People from other countries who did not have contestants and were purely spectators almost abandoned this sentiment of supporting their own people and instead downloaded their favorite works.
Oni, the interim general manager of the international competition operations team, looked at the 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 got a great start. This is the best result for tonight's performance." data, you will be surprised.”
Oni quickly took it and looked at it carefully, and said at the same time: "Have all the tracks been uploaded?"
The middle-aged woman said seriously: "Everything has been uploaded!"
Oni nodded: "Well, the data can be sent to me at any time!"
The middle-aged woman nodded: "Okay, sir."
After saying that, the middle-aged woman turned and left.
Oni looked intently at the data on the pages of paper, his expression became increasingly relaxed, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually revealed itself.
On the paper is a graph of the ratings of each country for tonight’s opening performance!
The curve trends in various countries are almost the same, but the specific data are different.
It is not a pure open high and low move, because there is a highest peak in the middle part.
That's when Wang Qian performed.
In the beginning, Taylor and Wang Qian’s piano performances had the highest ratings, which were higher than when Adam and Sophie appeared. If this continues, it may be a trend of rising high and falling low. It started with the highest rating, then continued to decrease, until it reached the lowest rating at the end. This is definitely a relatively unsuccessful trend, because the program did not retain the audience!
When Taylor performed, she was the first to open, so the number of viewers was very high. There were probably more than 800 million viewers around the world. Later, when Wang Qian brought Taylor, Sophie and others to play piano music, the number of viewers increased again. , reaching more than 900 million, almost breaking 1 billion, but it fell sharply during Adam's performance. From the time he came on stage to the time he left, he lost more than 400 million viewers
However, Wang Qian’s performance in the middle of the show raised the ratings a lot. The ratings in various countries have obviously gone up. Even North America is no exception. At its peak, it would exceed 7 in North America. Tens of millions of viewers watched Wang Qian's performance, with more than 300 million people watching in China, and about one billion people worldwide estimated to watch, far exceeding the attendance data of other players.
Except for Wang Qian, it was Sophie who had the highest ratings when she appeared. It is estimated that more than 600 million people around the world watched.
Adam is third, and it is expected to be watched by more than 500 million people around the world!
Later on, after Wang Qian’s performance, the ratings dropped significantly. When Miyuki Nakamori appeared, it was estimated that only about 500 million people around the world watched, which was almost half the number when Wang Qian’s performance was at its peak!
Of course, Miyuki Mori's ratings are not bad, no worse than Adam's, but she is ranked behind Wang Qian, so it dropped by 50% in an instant, which is very low.
The following data made Oni frown even more!
Because, after Miyuki Nakamori's performance, the ratings of others dropped rapidly again, with an average of only about 300-400 million viewers watching, and in the end, only more than 200 million viewers were watching
Visible!
The following players are really not popular around the world.
Of course, this is in comparison with the previous players.
Looking at individuals alone, it’s not bad if one person can attract 200 million viewers.
Just
Oni saw the viewership numbers of Wang Qian and Sophie's performances, and had higher ideas in mind.
This data far exceeded their initial expectations!
This is the first World Championship, so they expect that the ratings may not be too high. It is enough that 500 million people around the world can watch it. As the competition progresses, they will further hype the players to attract more attention. If more people come to watch, it will be a huge success if it reaches one billion at its peak.
So, when they promote to the outside world, they also use the global audience of one billion as a gimmick. This is not because they think there will be one billion viewers at the beginning, but to publicize the subsequent highest results in advance, so that they can attract More eyes and heat.
None of them expected it
The opening performance can really reach a billion viewers.
Bragging, the result was achieved easily from the beginning.
Although it was only Wang Qian who did it during his performance time.
However, it has been considered a success far beyond expectations.
Oni picked up the phone and called several deputies, looked at the data, and discussed it together.
Among them, George from the copyright owner of The Voice in North America frowned at the data and said, "So, is this Chinese contestant our current ratings guarantee?"
The other parties looked at it thoughtfully.
Oni nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes. During the previous performance, Zhou, the director of The Voice of China, had contacted me and wanted to increase resources for him. I have agreed to increase the resources of the Chinese players to a higher level, and Su The Philippines is flat!"
George frowned and said: "But, this is not in line with the ranking!"
Oni said seriously: "George, we are businessmen, we should see the benefits. And please put away your **** discrimination."
George looked even uglier and said softly: "I think we should wait and see. We'll see what happens in his next game. Because what he said on this show is too difficult to realize. If we increase our investment in promotion now, it will be the same as Adam's. If he doesn't realize what he said in the next performance, the negative effect will be even greater! reputation."
"I think we should consider this risk and have some reservations about him. Moreover, I think that in such a short period of time, raising him to the same level as Sophie is a very good result. ”
George’s words were supported by several other people!
After all, this is the first World Championship, so everyone is still more cautious!
Also because.
George's evaluation of Wang Qian made them more satisfied.
Because, they all felt that what Wang Qian said at the performance was too incredible and impossible to come true!
They are all senior people engaged in music work. Even if they are not professional musicians, they still have a keen appreciation and extensive knowledge.
They have never seen a singer who can change his voice to sing at will and still sing at a natural high level.
Wang Qian’s performance tonight was amazing enough.
They really couldn’t believe that Wang Qian would use new voices to perform at the same level in subsequent performances!
That is almost impossible
Of course, they will not question their players outside, but they have some more rational thoughts in their hearts. They feel that Wang Qian is unlikely to do it. Maybe they want to create topics and heat to attract more people to support them. .
If Wang Qian continues to improve his publicity resources now, what if he fails in the next performance?
By then, 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 subsequent overall ratings and even next year's World Championship.
So!
They can't afford to lose!
The German representative immediately said: "I agree with what George said."
Zhang Zhilong, a representative from the Huaxia Program Group, also immediately said: "I disagree, I believe Wang Qian can definitely do it. It will definitely bring surprises to everyone by then. We are investing more publicity resources now, and then we can Harvest more viewers and bring higher ratings! ”
However, the words of the Chinese representative were ignored.
Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, not to mention that the representatives of the ten country program groups here all have their own demands!
Of course, everyone does not want to see the Chinese players and the Chinese program team dominate.
So, if there is room for maneuver, and if the Chinese players can still question it, they will all tacitly cooperate to suppress it!
George hopes that Adam will continue to enjoy the best treatment, so as to increase the chance of winning and bring huge benefits to the North American program team.
The German representative naturally did not want his player Jonathan to be eliminated by Wang Qian in the next game, so he also suppressed Wang Qian!
Representatives from other divisions naturally hope that their players will win, so they also 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 says in the next game.
Then it will be impossible for them to suppress us by then.
Oni does not belong to any of the producers of their ten major competitions, but is a professional manager hired by them together. Everything will be based on profit!
So, when Wang Qian's interests cannot be suppressed and questioned, then Ooni will insist on putting interests first, and others must agree for the sake of 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 others, and said lightly: "It will take ten minutes to upload the performance tonight. Let’s take a look at the data. What do you want to say? ”
Everyone looked over quickly!
Then, George, the German representatives and others all felt their hearts sinking!
Number one.
Amazingly, it’s Wang Qian’s itsmylife. The five-minute download data has exceeded 1.5 million, which is absolutely amazing data in the European and American pop music circles.
The record Christine once set was only more than two million downloads in one minute, but then the download data would drop rapidly, reaching 20 million downloads in a single day.
And now, Wang Qian's single has reached 1.5 million downloads in five minutes. For a newcomer who has appeared publicly in North America for the first time, it is an absolutely amazing result!
Nothing more
Most of them didn't know much about Wang Qian's statistics in China, so they were very surprised.
The representative of the Huaxia program team had an indifferent expression. He picked up his mobile phone and looked at the download data of "Magic City Rhapsody" uploaded by Wang Qian on Qianqianjingting. He was concerned about the behavior of various European and American institutions in ignoring the data of the Huaxia region. Very helpless!
If the download data in China can be included, then in terms of sales data, Wang Qian is almost invincible and no one can beat him!
After all, behind Wang Qian stand more than a billion Chinese people.
Which other player can gather more than one billion supporters around the world?
No one can do it.
Therefore, the organizers and major European and American organizations ignore the data from the Chinese region and are actually protecting other players.
Otherwise, there is no need to compare the sales data, and the Chinese players will directly take the first place.
However, it would be too unfair to the Chinese players to discard the data from the Chinese region!
The champion players in various European and American competitions have a large fan base and popularity in Europe and the United States, but Wang Qian is almost a complete newcomer here. It is far more difficult to attract people to download his works from scratch. Other players!
And now Wang Qian can still reach the top spot.
In the hearts of many producers at the scene, they all clearly understood that this Wang Qian was really awesome!
It’s just that no one said it out loud.
The second-ranked song is a song sung by Sophie, with download data as high as 800,000. Although it is already high, it is a full 700,000 lower than Wang Qian, almost double the gap.
However, everyone was very impressed by Sophie's performance, so this is not surprising!
Just
No one expected the third position!
George and the German representatives stared at each other with their eyebrows pounding.
Because, thirdly, it’s Wang Qian!
Magic City Rhapsody received 700,000 downloads in Europe and the United States within five minutes.
This
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they looked at each other with mixed emotions, not knowing what to say.
Oni saw everyone's emotions and said calmly: "There can be no 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 download data of 600,000, which is already a good figure, but compared with Wang Qian and Sophie in front, the gap is a bit big.
This made George look very unhappy, 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 first place, he didn't even make it into the top three!
This is not worthy of the previous hype!
Elizabeth is fifth. The difference in download data from Adam is only about 50,000, reaching more than 550,000.
Miyuki Nakamori is sixth, with 500,000 downloads, and the gap is very small!
However, the gap between other players gradually widened, and they were basically all below 400,000. German player Jonathan ranked eighth, with only 300,000 download data!
Of course
This is cumulative data for the first five minutes only.
For each player individually, this is already good data.
However, looking around the world, it seems very ordinary.
Because they have enjoyed the aura of The Voice World Championship and received a lot of attention, it is natural for them to get good data.
So, they have to compare with their opponents on the same stage
This comparison!
The gap appears.
Seeing that everyone was relatively silent, the representative of the Huaxia Program Group said, "Everyone, I think I have another piece of data that I can share with you!"
Everyone looked at the Chinese representative.
Oni stretched out his hand and said: "Okay, take it out!"
China representative Zhang Zhilong took out his mobile phone and said: "Contestant Wang Qian uploaded the complete song recorded in the afternoon rehearsal of Magic City Rhapsody half an hour ago to our China Qianqian Listening platform! Now, half an hour has passed. How many downloads do you think?"
North America representative George frowned at China representative Zhang Zhilong and said with a frown: "Zhang, your data from China are all fake. I think it has no reference value."
This is the inherent impression of many European and American media people. They do not recognize some of China's data at all and think that they are all false.
Everyone looked at Zhang Zhilong, and they all supported George's words.
Oni said: "Zhang, you can read it out and we can listen."
Zhang Zhilong nodded: "In just over half an hour, Wang Qian's upload of Magic City Rhapsody has received more than 11 million downloads in China"
Before Zhang Zhilong finished speaking, George immediately interrupted and said in a firm voice: "Zhang, this kind of exaggerated data is fake at first glance. Needless to say, it will only waste everyone's time."
Zhang Zhilong said without any sign of 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 water!"
George smiled sarcastically and said: "Is this possible? Forty minutes, more than 10 million downloads? Kristen can't even do it! You Chinese people have been cheating on various data since more than 20 years ago. And there are so many pirated copies that it’s not worth trusting.”
Zhang Zhilong: "That was the past, but 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 makes no sense! It is impossible for him to get the same data in North America."
Zhang Zhilong was speechless for a moment.
Because he doesn’t think that Wang Qian will be able to get the same data as Qian Qianjing on the North American download platform in the future.
Although there are many developed countries in Europe and the United States with extremely high consumption levels, there are many countries and ethnic groups and countless languages. Therefore, it is impossible to unite to support a certain work of a certain person, and naturally it is impossible. Piling up exaggerated statistics on someone's work.
This is also the reason why Christine’s download data does not look as good as Wang Qian’s download data in China!
No matter how popular a single Christian is, it is impossible for it to become popular in all countries such as Europe and the United States, so it is impossible to attract all potential users to download it.
But
Wang Qian’s songs can become popular in China, with listeners reaching 1.4 billion people, attracting a considerable number of them to download them!
The most important thing is that China's current economic development cannot be compared with that of twenty years ago, and consumption levels have greatly improved. Hundreds of millions of young people are very willing to spend a few dollars to download a few favorite songs.
How do you want Wang Qian to have the same appeal in Europe and the United States as he does in China?
Zhang Zhilong would never dare to think 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 the majority of the people are not interested in English songs, and no matter how popular they are, they are not willing to listen to them.
So.
Zhang Zhilong fell silent and stopped talking.
George glanced at Zhang Zhilong with a hint of pride, and then said: "Mr. Oni, this result is only temporary. Now that the show has just ended, everyone is downloading based on their first impression, and the follow-up will test each contestant's potential. time. Moreover, Wang Qian is a player who likes to talk nonsense 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 the data Zhang Zhilong said. He nodded and said: "Okay, let’s do it. Let’s continue to wait and see! Let Wang Qian maintain the same attitude as Sophie first. Below the resource treatment, we will discuss the plan for the next game."
Everyone looks straight!
The next game will be their first official game of the World Championship.
This is the real highlight!
If you mess up.
It will be difficult for them to get up later.
So!
Everyone pays all their attention, expresses their thoughts, and discusses how to improve the ratings!
And now!
Audiences from all over the world who are following The Voice World Competition are excited.
Because.
The temporary download data ranking of the top ten contestants of the Good Voice World Championship appeared on the bulletin board.
Wang Qian’s ranking has changed again.
