In the morning.
Wang Qian saw that the video of himself singing the Phoenix had already received millions of hits.
However, that is the result of promoting on TV stations and investing resources on other European and American online platforms.
At that time, Wang Qian did not have too many expectations for the subsequent performance data, he just hoped to be able to maintain the fourth place.
Zhou Qinghua's voice continued to be heard on the phone.
"Wang Qian, this is the first time that a contestant from China has topped the list. You have a chance to keep doing so until the weekend, taking the first place in the weekly ranking and becoming the number one contestant on The Voice of China this week."
"Do you know who were the top players in the weekly rankings? Adam has won the most, and he has been at the top for three consecutive weeks. Green and Sophie have won it before. The three of them have monopolized the top spot in the weekly rankings since The Voice of China started airing, and no one else has ever posed a threat to them. You are the first player to pose a threat to the three of them."
"Most importantly, you are the only Chinese and Asian player who has done this. Even the powerful Miyuki Nakamori from the island country can't do it."
“You did it!”
Zhou Qinghua's voice was filled with obvious excitement, as if he had done it himself: "I am now very much looking forward to your performance in the worlds. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can really make it to the worlds."
Even though we are very optimistic about Wang Qian, he is now the best performing and most popular contestant in this season of The Voice of China.
However, Zhou Qinghua still didn't finish his words.
Before the final result comes out.
Anything is possible.
Especially this year's Voice of China is different from the previous ones.
The producers of this session did not have any behind-the-scenes operations. They just gave every contestant enough opportunities to show themselves, and then let the best contestants advance.
This is truly the cleanest Voice of China in the past ten years!
Therefore, the producers have the least control over this year's Voice of China.
What will happen next and which player will advance.
The producers don't know either.
We will know by watching the performance of the players in the next game.
Moreover, this year's performance will be broadcast live, not recorded, so there will be no chance to do it again.
This further adds to the uncertainty of the final outcome.
If Wang Qian suddenly performs poorly in his next live performance, sings the wrong lyrics or the wrong tune, it is possible that he will be eliminated.
Although this means that the producers have no control over the program.
However, leaving everything to the contestants and relying on their abilities makes the show truly exciting, and the contestants who advance are truly talented.
Won the best reputation among the audience.
but.
Zhou Qinghua has always hoped that Wang Qian could win and participate in international competitions.
Because, in his opinion, Wang Qian's stage performance is impeccable. Although he is still a little behind the top international contestants, he is indeed top-notch in China, and his stage performance aura is not inferior to that of famous superstars.
Now, Wang Qian's new English rock song, which demonstrates a top international live stage style, has already broken out of the Chinese competition area and become famous in the world, and seems to be on the verge of reaching the top.
Every contestant who tops the weekly chart on YouTube's International Voice channel and becomes the weekly champion will become a candidate for the championship in the international competition and will become the focus of attention of the world audience.
This is what Zhou Qinghua and the production company want.
if you can.
Zhou Qinghua now wants to start behind-the-scenes operations to directly ensure that Wang Qian wins the championship in the Chinese division, and then represents the Chinese division in the world competition.
Wang Qian was also slightly shocked when he saw the number of hits on his YouTube video.
The video cover is still a screenshot of himself, Murong Yue, and Jiang Yu standing under the light.
However, there are some more embellishments on the video at this moment.
Here are some special treatments given to popular videos.
The number of clicks directly exceeded 20 million!
The number of messages exceeded 500,000.
The ratio is very healthy, and it is an extremely outstanding result on the entire YouTube platform, which shows that there is still huge potential to be tapped.
The most important thing.
Wang Qian’s performance video ranked first among all the contestants who performed in the top ten international competition areas!
Among the international contestants who will perform at the same time as Wang Qian, there are several popular contestants, such as Adam, Green, Sophie and so on.
Now, even Adam’s performance video has just passed 15 million views!
In the past, this would have been a definite trend in competing for the championship.
The only ones that can compete with it are Green's 13 million clicks and Sophie's 12 million clicks!
By the weekend, it is estimated that the number of clicks will reach around 30 to 50 million!
After all, the popularity will continue to decline, and the first day will account for a large proportion of the data.
Everyone had just finished their performance and the atmosphere was at its peak.
The popularity of the three hottest contestants shows no sign of declining and has even improved significantly compared to their previous performances.
but…
this time.
But Wang Qian appeared.
The video was only online for one day.
It created a super data of 20 million clicks, which is 5 million more than Adam, a huge gap.
This was something Adam had not achieved even during his most explosive performance. His highest number of hits was only 16 million in a single day, and the number of comments was far less than Wang Qian's current 500,000, with a maximum of only over 200,000 comments.
No wonder Zhou Qinghua was so excited.
This is absolutely a phenomenal performance, and the most attractive performance since the establishment of The Voice of China, without a doubt.
Wang Qian still held the phone and maintained the call link with Zhou Qinghua, but he did not speak. Instead, he gently clicked on the video to check everyone's comments, wanting to know what the European and American audiences were saying.
"I saw the TV program put the Chinese contestant in fourth place, and I was angry. But when I came in and watched his performance, I can only say that this is the performance I wanted. I was still angry because he should not be in fourth place, he should be in first place, and Adam's performance was not as good as his in this performance."
"Oh my God, what is this? Is this the legendary rock music that can make people's blood boil? I heard my father say that when he was young, he would get excited when he listened to rock music. I didn't believe it at the time, thinking that it was because he was too stupid when he was young. Now, I believe what my father said, rock music is the music that can make your blood boil the most. I like this song the Phoenix so much, I want to download it, where can I download it?"
"This song brings me back to the feeling of my youth. I want to play another basketball game with my old friends. Come on, I can't wait."
"God! After listening to this song, I ran three kilometers on the road in the middle of the night before I calmed down. I was so excited. I recommended it to my two brothers. After listening to it, they ran out and fought with some car thieves."
"This is the real rock and roll that I want. It's crazy."
"I can't believe this is an English rock song written by a Chinese contestant himself? He is such a genius."
"Wang? I remember this player. He gave me a surprise. If he comes to North America to compete and I have a vote, I will vote for him."
"What is this? Is this rock? Is this really rock? Why do I want to fight with those idiots after hearing this?"
"This is the most surprising rock song I have heard this year. This song should be selected as the best rock single of the year."
"I have liked this Chinese contestant for a long time. His rock songs are very good. Since I studied Chinese, I can understand all his songs. Since his debut, he has been singing his own original songs, and each one is very nice. His creative talent is unmatched by all international contestants such as Adam and Green Sophie."
"In this rock song, the Chinese contestant showed explosiveness that was not inferior to Adam's. His stage presence was also very explosive. He is definitely the best this week. I want to see his next performance."
“I love this song so much.”
"I wonder if he really wrote this song originally. How can a person who grew up in China write such a good English rock song? Is he really a genius?"
"Everyone, if you search carefully, you will find that the three most surprising piano pieces this year, To Xuerong, Demon City March, and Girl's Prayer, were also composed by him. He is the mysterious piano genius from China that Taylor mentioned."
"Oh my god, he really is the piano genius from China that Taylor mentioned in the media. I really like his Zhi Xuerong. It's very simple, easy to play, and sounds great. I learned it in three days. It's simply a perfect masterpiece. I didn't expect that his rock songs are also so great? I can't believe it!"
“My favorite rock…”
…
Wang Qian quickly browsed through several pages of messages and saw that most of them were one-sided praises.
because.
Just speaking of rock songs.
There's really nothing to criticize about this song, the Phoenix.
Especially in this era when rock music is declining and there are few good works, it has brought a strong impact to many people who like rock music.
Rock and roll can do this.
Also, Wang Qian had never been well-known internationally before, and few people paid attention to him.
Suddenly he sang such a beautiful song, which was his original song. Naturally, many people became curious and came to take a look. The topic became very popular!
Everyone likes the plot of a small person's counterattack. This plot has appeared countless times in film and television dramas and literary works of all countries and nations in the world, but every time it appears, there are still people who like to watch it.
There is also a very small number of people who focus on the field of classical music.
They knew about Wang Qian from Taylor's interview and had heard his three piano pieces, so it sparked quite a discussion!
Because no one has ever been able to achieve success in both classical and popular music and create classic works at the same time.
There is an artistic gap between these two musical fields, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are in completely opposite directions!
Rock music is the extreme end point in the opposite direction of classical music.
so.
When the news came out that Wang Qian was the original author of three piano pieces that were already well-known in North America, namely To Xuerong, March of the Magic City, and Girl's Prayer, everyone's curiosity grew and the desire to discuss became stronger.
Many people want to know the answer to one question: "How does he do it?"
The number of comments in the comment section of Wang Qian's video set a record for the number of comments in a single day among all the Voice of China contestants' videos, far exceeding that of second place Adam.
"Wang Qian?"
Zhou Qinghua kept calling out on the phone.
Wang Qian reacted quickly and replied, "Yes, Director Zhou. I'm here. I haven't hung up yet. I'm watching YouTube right now. It's pretty good. People like my performance very much. That's enough."
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Everyone not only likes it, they really like it. Many people say that your performance surpassed last year's Best Rock Band. If you win the championship this week, I will contact the international operations team and urge them to give you more resources. I didn't have the confidence to ask for more resources before, but now that you have achieved results, I have the confidence."
"It would be great if your song could also top the Billboard charts! I would ask them for resources like crazy..."
Wang Qian smiled but said nothing, not expecting anything of the kind.
The competition on the billboard is extremely fierce. Countless singers from dozens of countries across Europe, America and Latin America are fighting in it, and it is extremely cruel.
And those who can make it onto the show are already famous super-singer singers, or singers who have super-large companies behind them.
It takes a lot of resources to rise!
Of course, good songs are also the basis of success.
In addition to having good songs, sufficient resources need to be invested to make a name for yourself on the Billboard charts.
Independent singer!
It never made the top ten on the Billboard charts.
Not to mention, he is a new independent singer.
There is a high probability that it will not cause any waves.
Without background and resources, even if the quality of your works is good, the quality of other people's works is not bad either. Why should you lose to an independent singer with no resources like you after investing a lot of resources
Therefore, Wang Qian is very clear-headed and has no thoughts about good grades.
Of course, it would be a good thing if we could really get there.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Take your time. There are still a few performances left before the final."
Zhou Qinghua: "Okay, I support you. Perform well in these few shows and make sure you can win the championship from the Chinese competition area. As for the international publicity, I will help you with the supervision team stationed here. By the way, can you sing another English rock song like this next time?"
Zhou Qinghua asked a question with hope!
That was the reason for his call.
Did Wang Qian hide his shortcomings before and only perform well in this episode
no!
The several Chinese rock songs sung by Wang Qian before can all be regarded as hall-level performances in Chinese rock. They will surely be talked about frequently by many rock fans in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have become an important part of the history of Chinese rock!
but!
That's Chinese rock.
The rest of the world ignores you.
Therefore, Wang Qian’s performance level was already extremely high, world-class, but he did not receive recognition from the world.
It's because of the different languages and styles.
Is this performance of The Phoenix better than the previous ones, Shameless and The Earth
Not necessarily!
Just because, the phoenix is an English rock song.
It's that simple.
Having tasted the sweetness, we saw the hope of the rise of the Chinese division.
Zhou Qinghua naturally hopes that Wang Qian can continue on this path.
Therefore, he suggested that Wang Qian continue to sing English rock of the same level and quality in his next live performance to continue to consolidate his popularity and reputation in the world!
It will definitely be of great benefit to participate in the world championship in the future...
But.
Wang Qian smiled faintly and said, "Probably not. I will continue to sing Chinese songs next time."
Zhou Qinghua frowned and asked, "Why?"
Wang Qian simply replied: "Because this is the Chinese Division. If I want to sing English songs, I will wait until the World Championships. I will sing what the audience likes to listen to. Chinese audiences, of course, like to listen to Chinese songs. I don't need to give up my own fans in order to please the world audience."
Zhou Qinghua was speechless for a moment.
He can't say that he will give up the Chinese audience and try to please the world audience, right
Then the personal relationship between him and Wang Qian would probably come to an end.
At that moment, there was silence for a few seconds.
Zhou Qinghua said regretfully: "Okay, I support you, do your best."
Wang Qian: “Thank you!”
Hang up the phone.
Wang Qian continued to browse the videos of many contestants on the International Voice page on YouTube.
The Japanese contestant Miyuki Nakamori, who was not much different from him this morning, had her video just break five million views, but she is still ranked in the top ten!
The contestant from the Ah San Division who performed at the same time ranked at the bottom, more than 70 people, with only tens of thousands of hits, which was similar to the treatment of Wang Qian in the past...
Three major regions in Asia.
Wang Qian is now the undisputed number one.
The only threatening person, Miyuki Nakamori, was basically impossible to catch up with.
It depends on whether there will be an opportunity to reach the top of the world next.
…
And this news.
The Voice of China officials did not hide or delay. Ten minutes after Zhou Qinghua and Wang Qian ended their call, they announced it directly on the official Weibo account and started a wave of publicity.
"Congratulations to Wang Qian, the contestant from the Huaxia region. On the official YouTube account of The Voice of China, his performance video topped the list among the contestants who performed during the same period. This is the first time since the start of the Huaxia region of The Voice of China. I hope Wang Qian will continue to work hard. Come on, Huaxia region!"
This short official message attracted a lot of attention and popularity as soon as it was released.
because!
The information revealed is not simple.
The players from the Chinese region attracted great attention from the world and also won the first place in the number of video views during the same period!
this…
This is something that no one would have thought of before.
Many people instinctively believe that Chinese pop music will not perform well internationally.
Today, as the country is developing rapidly, what we lack is national self-confidence.
Therefore, anything that can demonstrate the country's strength and national pride will be loved by many people.
For example, Wang Qian remembers that a Chinese-language movie that was ranked first in the history of Chinese-language films was the one that promoted this kind of emotion, leading to a real box office explosion.
Of course, the quality of the film itself is also among the best among domestic films. This is the most basic quality for success—being strong enough.
If it is a bad movie, no matter how much it is hyped, it can only make a little money at best, and it will never be ranked in film history.
Now, Wang Qian has suppressed a number of talented players from other regions internationally and become number one in the click rankings, and everyone's sense of pride has suddenly risen.
Moreover, among these suppressed players, almost all include some of the most popular players in Europe and the United States.
The gold content is sufficient at once.
There is nothing to dispute.
so!
Everyone followed the promotion of The Voice and went to YouTube to watch it. After discovering that it was indeed true, many emotions in their hearts burst out again at once.
Many people forwarded and liked the news from the official Weibo account of The Voice of China, and the number of people leaving comments was overwhelming.
"Wow, Professor Wang is amazing, ranked first in the world?"
"If Professor Wang can hold on until the weekend and win the championship, it will be amazing. He will be the only Voice of China contestant to win the weekly championship in the three major Asian regions."
"From being an unknown name in the world to number one on the weekly charts, Professor Wang only needed one English song to go from being a famous singer to being number one on the weekly charts!"
"Professor Wang is amazing. You got such a good grade. Why don't you celebrate? Let's have a lucky draw to win two more calligraphy pieces!"
"Professor Wang, I beg you to participate in the lucky draw."
"Professor Wang won the championship in this year's Voice of China. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Wow, it looks like Professor Wang has a chance to do well in the World Championship? Looking forward to the Chinese World Championship."
"Professor Wang, come on, bring glory to our country and our nation!"
"Chinese pop music has always been neglected in the world. I hope Professor Wang's participation in the world competition can bring about changes."
"Professor Wang, come on..."
…
The popularity of this topic also rose rapidly, and then it almost instantly dropped to the second place on the hot topic list. The first place was still the topic of Wang Qian's lucky draw and calligraphy giveaway, and the third place that was squeezed out was also a topic related to Wang Qian's calligraphy.
The hottest topic now is still Wang Qian’s calligraphy!
Weibo can be said to be a gathering place for celebrities and fans, and many irrational words often erupt because of brainless fans.
And this time, everyone is paying attention to more elegant calligraphy, and it seems that even the level of the Weibo platform has been improved.
You can say that.
Wang Qian once again followed his own rules of popularity!
After the performance, it will definitely dominate the Weibo hot topic list.
But this time, the performance was particularly strong.
The carefully prepared plans of several major companies to grab hot topics were shattered and they were powerless to fight back.
The following hot topics were specially prepared by several major entertainment companies. They were launched today to hype up the topics and suppress Wang Qian’s popularity so that he can no longer attract fans!
pity…
They met Wang Qian who gave them calligraphy.
They also encountered that Wang Qian's performance video topped the world competition operation platform, becoming the world's number one among the Voice of China contestants.
Under the double blow, several major entertainment companies really had no choice but to give up.
They didn't continue to invest more resources in hyping up those promotional topics.
Anyway, no matter how they hype it up now, they can’t compete with Wang Qian’s popularity.
Then just let it go.
Now they can only wait and see how popular Wang Qian will become today
Just a dozen minutes.
The number of followers of Wang Qian on Weibo increased by more than 500,000.
For a superstar like him with more than 20 million fans, this speed of improvement is already beyond imagination. Perhaps in just a few days, he will be able to break through the 30 million fan mark, become the top star among the superstars, and start charging towards the status of an international superstar.
Wang Qian himself also responded to the Voice of China official Weibo: "Thank you for your support, thank you for the support of the organizers. It is the stage of the organizers and the support of all the fans that have made me who I am today. Thank you very much. I will continue to work hard to bring you better performances."
A very official and all-purpose statement.
Wang Qian had been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade in his previous life and had worked in various professions, so he could easily come up with such words.
Several other Voice of China contestants also stepped forward.
Lin Bing: "This result is really amazing. I have never paid much attention to the situation on The Voice of China, because the data and results have always been not very good. The top few places have always been monopolized by several popular contestants from Europe and the United States. I didn't expect Professor Wang to break their monopoly. It's amazing!"
Ma Rufei: "I really look forward to competing on the same stage with Professor Wang one day. It will definitely be a pleasure. Unfortunately, I am not a rock singer."
Chen Xiaowen: "Professor Wang's rock song is really amazing. Even the audiences in Europe and America can't find fault with it. However, I will continue to challenge Professor Wang."
…
And on a Weibo id with few followers and average popularity.
Ru Ke posted a sentence.
