Oni discussed it with the program crew and originally wanted to delay contacting Qin Xuerong for two more days to discuss inviting Wang Qian to the new program.
But…
They looked at the ranking and sales figures on the pop music weekly sales chart and knew that they couldn't delay any longer!
Keep dragging it on.
The higher Wang Qian's sales, the more fans he attracts, the greater his accumulated fame and the higher his status, and they will be in a more disadvantaged position in negotiations.
so!
Still, Oni chose to quickly call Qin Xuerong in the afternoon.
Qin Xuerong helped Wang Qian prepare the bath water and prepared clean clothes. When she was about to contact Xu Zhongfei in China in the living room outside, she suddenly received a call from Oni.
She answered.
As soon as the call was connected, Oni quickly smiled and said, "Hi, Miss Qin, I'm Oni, the person in charge of the operations of the World Championship program team. I think you should know me."
Qin Xuerong looked at the direction where Wang Qian was taking a shower in the bathroom, and admired Wang Qian even more. Everything seemed to be within Wang Qian's expectations. He said, "Yes, I know. Mr. O'Neill, what's the matter? Is it about the show this weekend?"
Oni: "Not entirely. The director team will contact you specifically about the arrangement of the program. I want to discuss with Miss Qin what you talked about with Director Zhou. I think you should have some ideas, right?"
"What are your requirements for the new cooperation? I am not officially negotiating a contract with you now, just a preliminary discussion to facilitate our subsequent formal business cooperation negotiations."
Oni was afraid that if things got awkward, it would be difficult to continue the conversation, so he said this first.
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "That's great. Mr. Oni, according to the data released by your program team, the highest global audience for the World Championship has exceeded 4 billion, attracting more than half of the world's population to watch. Basically, all areas covered by the signal are broadcasting the World Championship. And this data was brought up when our Wang Qian appeared on the stage, right?"
Oni thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Yes, when Professor Wang Qian performed, our ratings were indeed at their peak. However, Sophie's ratings were not much lower..."
The peak viewership that Sophie supported on her own was over 2 billion, but less than 3 billion, which was at least two orders of magnitude lower than that of Wang Qian, and the influence and income she brought were not on the same level either.
However, Oni didn't want Qin Xuerong to ask for too much, so he took Sophie out first.
Qin Xuerong didn't buy it. She knew Wang Qian wasn't sincere about the cooperation, so she didn't test it with Oni Moji or anything. She just said, "Half of the viewers come for Wang Qian, and the other half also like to watch his performances. At the same time, when Wang Qian is there, your ticket revenue will increase by at least five times! There is data to check this. Just check the ticket sales and prices."
"So, according to my rough calculation, the revenue that Wang Qian alone brought to the World Championship could be as high as 10 billion US dollars, is that right?"
hiss!
Oni was slightly shocked and took a breath, contributing to global warming. He was surprised that Qin Xuerong could calculate the approximate data in this way.
There is data available for ticket sales, but information like advertising fees is only known by the program team and the TV station; it is impossible for outsiders to know.
Wang Qian did indeed increase the program team’s revenue by at least tens of billions of dollars!
Oni quickly calmed down and said vaguely: "It's not clear. The whole stage is a whole, and all the performers have contributed their strength..."
Qin Xuerong didn't want to listen to Oni's nonsense, so he interrupted and continued, "Our Wang Qian contributed more than half of the revenue in the entire World Championship. And now everyone knows how attractive Wang Qian is. If he joins a program in a high-profile manner, the attention will explode directly, and the income will be very high at the beginning."
"So, I don't want to hear about compensation or anything like that. Our condition is that we want 30% of the copyright and 30% of all revenue from the new show. At the same time, the copyright and revenue of all works performed by Wang Qian will belong entirely to him."
"Our request is that simple! If you agree, we can sign the contract now! We can prepare new programs right away..."
Qin Xuerong finished speaking.
Oni on the other end fell silent.
He was so shocked by this request that he was speechless.
He wants 30% of the total revenue of the program, and controls 30% of the copyright. 30% of all subsequent revenue of the program will also belong to Wang Qian, and he will be controlled by Wang Qian! Because, with 30% of the copyright, he must be the largest shareholder, and other partners cannot hold so much.
This new program is almost a wedding dress for Wang Qian.
All proceeds from personal performances also belong to Wang Qian himself.
Oni smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Qin, the condition you proposed is too insincere!"
With such conditions, Oni knew with his toes that no one else would agree.
Qin Xuerong said in a relaxed tone: "Then, I'm very sorry. Compared with the benefits that Wang Qian can bring to you, I don't think I'm asking for much. You think I'm insincere, which can only mean that you capitalists are too shady and only want to exploit Wang Qian as much as possible. You want to make 10 billion and only give Wang Qian 100 million, and you want us to thank you, is that right?"
Oni remained silent.
Because what Qin Xuerong said was the truth.
They really just wanted to pay Wang Qian $100 million, and they also wanted to use Wang Qian's fame to earn tens of billions of dollars again from the new show!
Give Wang Qian 3 billion
impossible!
No one will agree.
Oni said in a heavy tone: "Okay, I understand. I will discuss it with others. I will contact you again when there is news."
Qin Xuerong said calmly, "Mr. O'Neal, there is no possibility of negotiation or discount on our terms. You can only agree. If you don't agree, then don't contact me again. After Wang Qian's performance this weekend, our cooperation will be over."
Oni felt heartbroken when he thought that the World Championship was officially over.
The super money printing machine is going to be shut down forever!
How could the shareholders of the money printing machine not be anxious and heartbroken
Oni: "Okay! Goodbye, Miss Qin."
Qin Xuerong: "Goodbye..."
Hang up the phone!
Qin Xuerong smiled and shook her head slightly, certain that the program crew would never agree to it.
If it is a small stall, they might agree in order to invite someone like Wang Qian who is responsible for the ratings, after all, the stall is small and the investment is not much.
However, the new program prepared by the World Championship Program Team must have invested a lot, and they had just experienced the most successful variety show in TV history. They were at the peak of their lives and were looking down on the entertainment industry around the world. How could they bow down to a contestant who walked out of their stage? Give up the biggest share
Qin Xuerong chatted with Xu Zhongfei in China for a while, and then received a call from her sister Qin Xuehong.
"Xue Rong, when are you and Wang Qian going back? Have you booked your tickets? If not, book mine together when you book your tickets. I'll go back with you!"
"Sister, aren't you going to write on vacation in North America?"
"Hey, it's Chinese New Year, what should I do if I don't go home? Fortunately, I have you and Wang Qian to support me this year, so I may have less pressure."
"Okay, I'll book your ticket then."
I hung up the phone with my sister.
Qin Xuerong also had a few words with several domestic giants including ByteDance, Tencent, and Alibaba regarding the follow-up cooperation matters!
Several giants continued to offer high prices, hoping that Wang Qian would broadcast live or interact on their platforms as much as possible before the end of the World Championship, so as to continue to bring them high traffic.
The price of a live broadcast outside the contract has been driven up to 700 to 800 million by ByteDance and Tencent, and can reach up to 1 billion!
Because Wang Qian’s frequent live broadcasts or interactions on their platform recently have brought them a large amount of active traffic, they have all benefited greatly as a whole.
So, they don't want to stop.
Everyone wanted to grab as much traffic from Wang Qian as possible before the World Championship when Wang Qian’s popularity was still the highest in the world.
Qin Xuerong did not agree immediately, but said that he needed to discuss it and would give an answer after discussing it with Wang Qian.
Anyway, for live broadcasts outside of the contract, each time has a separate contract and price, so it doesn’t matter.
…
Oni hung up the phone with Qin Xuerong and returned to the conference room. Looking at everyone who had not yet left, he felt heavy-hearted.
When the copyright representatives of the program team saw Oni's expression, they stopped chatting and joking and looked at Oni seriously.
The North American representative asked, "Mr. O'Neill, did you have a good chat with Wang Qian? What happened?"
Everyone stared at Oni.
Including Zhou Qinghua, he didn't know what conditions Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong would put forward, but judging from Oni's appearance, they definitely didn't have anything to talk about.
Everyone felt a little heavy-hearted.
Oni sat down and said softly, "I didn't talk to Wang Qian, but I talked to Miss Qin for a few words. She said that if Wang Qian is invited to participate in the new program, he wants 30% of the income and copyright! And all personal performance income belongs to him! Just these two conditions..."
It is very simple to explain.
But.
The meeting room fell silent...
Everyone looked at each other and saw each other's shock and disbelief.
Even Zhou Qinghua was shocked by the conditions proposed by Qin Xuerong.
They have been in the entertainment industry for decades, and no one has ever seen such a generous offer!
Let the entire program crew work for Wang Qian
The North American representative slapped the table and shouted, "This is impossible. Let them eat shit! Damn, greedy Chinese people!"
Others were also indignant.
"He is indeed too greedy. Why does he deserve 30% of the income?"
"Then we won't cooperate with him. I wonder who in North America will cooperate with him in the future."
"Without us, he would still be a small singer in China. He doesn't even know how to thank us for helping him. He doesn't have a grateful heart."
"Let him go, we'll invite Sophie and the others! We'll invite all the remaining nine contestants except him. And we'll invite Christine to take his place. I believe she won't be any worse than him."
"Yes, and there's Kristen! With Kristen, Sophie, Adam, Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori, Jonathan and the others, the lineup won't be any worse than this World Championship, and we'll make a ton of money!"
"Let's contact Christine and Sophie right now!"
Zhou Qinghua didn't say anything, but just looked at their anger and quickly discussed a new plan.
Using Christine to replace Wang Qian and inviting other players such as Sophie to join, it is like another world championship lineup, and the appeal is indeed not weak. They may not make as much as if Wang Qian joined, but they will still make a lot of money.
but…
A smile appeared on Zhou Qinghua's lips, but he still didn't say anything.
He did some calculations in his mind. The revenue that Wang Qian brought to the World Championship was indeed in the hundreds of billions of dollars, accounting for more than 70% of the total revenue. With this calculation, Wang Qian's 30% was not much.
But…
How can capitalists just sit there and watch the biggest piece of the pie being taken away by others
…
Wang Qian chatted with Miyuki Nakamori for a few words and then hung up the phone.
"Wang Qianjun, Zhenzhu and I are both your loyal fans. We hope to talk to you alone about music and literature. We love your works so much."
This sentence!
It echoed several times in Wang Qian's mind.
"Zhenzhu and I..."
so!
Miyuki Nakamori and Maou Chiba
The images of the two people appeared in Wang Qian's mind together.
While still in the water, Wang Qian was already getting ready to take action.
These two are truly the pinnacle of beauty and temperament in the island country. Both of them seem like comic heroines who walked out of the island country's comics.
I just tried two other European and American ladies who are both of the best in terms of appearance and temperament!
I still feel a little unsatisfied!
Wang Qian didn't want to provoke him before, because he still wanted to be a good person...
But now...
Wang Qian felt like he could no longer suppress the other self living in his heart.
Scumbag, actually he is not bad!
With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Wang Qian fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.
After a while, Qin Xuerong saw that there was no movement in the bathroom, so he opened the door and looked. He saw Wang Qian resting and sleeping, but he did not disturb him. He just adjusted the water temperature to keep it at a comfortable temperature.
Wang Qian slept for several hours!
When I woke up, it was already dark!
I just feel relaxed and refreshed.
It seemed as if all the energy consumed last night had been restored.
Wang Qian just washed himself casually and finished his bath.
Qin Xuerong had already ordered dinner, and when she saw Wang Qian finished taking a shower, she immediately called someone to bring it in.
Delivering dinner!
Still Bella!
Bella was wearing a professional suit inside and an apron outside. She placed the dinner in place, which was Chinese food specially prepared by the hotel for the two of them. She bowed slightly and nodded to the two of them, then left with an elegant pace pushing the dining cart.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong watched Bella leave before sitting down to eat dinner.
Qin Xuerong told Wang Qian about the conversation she had with Oni that afternoon: "I feel like it's a no-go. They won't agree to it."
Wang Qian said indifferently: "It's best if you don't agree!"
Qin Xuerong: "My sister said she would go home with us then."
Qin Xuehong
Wang Qian paused while eating, then said, "Isn't she going to live here for a while?"
Qin Xuerong shook her head: "She said she wanted to go home for the New Year! Besides, with you and me supporting her, her pressure will be much less. My parents should not bother to pursue the matter of her selling the company. Anyway, it was sold to you, so you are not an outsider."
When talking about not being considered an outsider, Qin Xuerong lowered her head and her face turned a little red.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "That doesn't count as an outsider!"
Buzz buzz buzz…
Qin Xuerong's phone rang.
She put down her chopsticks and picked it up to take a look, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "It was a message sent to me by the Grammy and Oscar organizing committees. They said that as long as you can participate in their gala, the conditions can be negotiated?"
Wang Qian was also surprised: "Oh? So fast?"
He had said before that he believed that the two major organizing committees would come back to him sooner or later.
But.
He hadn't thought it would happen so soon.
He thought that it would take a year or two, or maybe even two or three years!
When his achievements can no longer be suppressed or covered up, and even more so can no longer be ignored, the Grammys will definitely come to him again.
But now.
It’s not even half a day yet!
Just found it back
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong looked at each other in surprise.
Some of them are incomprehensible.
However, the two have not yet explored it.
The phone rang.
They both saw that it was Oni who called.
It's only been less than half a day.
Oni called again.
Have they agreed to the conditions proposed by Wang Qian
The young couple was even more surprised.
