Although the pressure is huge.
However, Adam knew that he must not back down at this time.
Anyway.
Being the first to appear can still get a lot of exposure.
Especially now, when the ratings are very high.
Just now, Wang Qian and Sophie took turns to perform, attracting a large number of audiences from all over the world.
Adam estimates that the current audience is at least over two billion.
Keep taking deep breaths...
Adam encouraged himself, looked at his image in the mirror, adjusted his mindset, and walked out with satisfaction.
On stage!
Jennifer began to manage the interaction between her and some big-name stars and celebrities in the audience, allowing her to hype and achieve mutual success with these celebrities.
but..
The topics we are talking about today are all related to pop music.
because.
Most of the celebrities who came to the stage had released their carefully prepared singles last week, and basically achieved more or less success.
Jennifer: "Hey James, I heard you released a song last week? God, I'm unbelievable that I'll be able to hear your song in my lifetime, how are the sales? Has anyone been fooled?"
A big man with a full beard stood up and laughed, "Hahaha, Jenny, you must not have heard my song. If you had, you wouldn't be asking this question. Because this is a very nice song, and everyone who has heard it says it's nice. The sales are also very good. I can't believe that I can get more than 50 million sales in a week. If it was two months ago, I might have won the weekly championship..."
James, who has won an Oscar for Best Actor, looked very proud.
Even though he was over 50, he was able to release a song of his own, and it sold 50 million copies in a week! This week brought him nearly 30 million US dollars in profits. In the long run, his total annual income would be at least 50 million US dollars, which was more than his annual income during his peak period.
Many celebrities around me who haven’t released any songs yet were very envious after hearing this, and they also decided to release one themselves next week.
Even a former movie star like James can achieve weekly sales of 50 million and make 30 million a week. Can't they do the same
Jennifer continued, "Haha, congratulations, James. It's a pity that you won't win the championship this week."
James shrugged: "Who isn't? Who else can win the championship except that scary guy? However, I didn't think about winning the championship. I want to thank him. Yes, thank him for giving me this opportunity. If he hadn't appeared, I would definitely not have such sales."
Jennifer didn't ask who James was thanking.
Almost everyone at the scene knew who he was talking about.
Jennifer also asked several actors who released songs and top athletes in North America.
The answers I got were all pretty much the same.
In such a global live broadcast, no one dares to speak nonsense.
"Wow, to be honest, when my agent suggested that I release a song, I refused. But now I just want to say that I want to release two more songs! This is much easier and more convenient than my hard work in a movie, and I can make more money. Well, thanks to Professor Wang Qian, it's because of him that everyone listened to the songs, and the movie box office dropped a lot."
…
"I like rock music very much. I am a huge rock fan. I have always had a rock music dream, but I have never taken action. It was Professor Wang Qian who gave me motivation and ignited the rock music flame in my heart again. I resolutely released a rock music single. I didn't expect that everyone liked it very much. I am grateful to Professor Wang Qian for giving me strength..."
…
"Wow, I played my own guitar, and my guitar is professional. I recommend myself to Professor Wang Qian. If you need a guitarist next time, just like the Hotel California, when you need a lot of guitarists, please feel free to contact me. I don't want any appearance fee, and I bring my own guitar and pizza..."
…
Every celebrity tries their best to show their humor and musical ability, hoping to attract more global audiences to download their works on this stage.
They also tried their best to bring Wang Qian along.
Because everyone knows that on this stage, Wang Qian is the absolute protagonist.
Over 1 billion downloads in a single week.
This shows.
Wang Qian has almost the same number of fans around the world.
This is a crazy phenomenon that has never happened in world history.
Therefore, even if he felt uncomfortable, he wanted to take advantage of Wang Qian's popularity as much as possible.
Wang Qian heard this in the lounge with a calm expression. As a veteran in the entertainment industry, he knew what these people were asking for and didn't care about it.
Many hands make light work!
These big-name actors and celebrities want to enter the pop music industry to make money, but at the same time they also make their own circles, such as the film industry, even more deserted.
Because they have rejected some film contracts, the number and quality of films released in the next one or two years will decline to varying degrees, which will further cause ordinary people to shift their attention away from movies and focus on other things.
For example, music!
As more big-name celebrities flock to the pop music scene, they will naturally bring their own popularity and fans into the pop music market, which will further ignite and activate the entire market.
Wang Qian is also one of the beneficiaries.
If there hadn’t been so many big-name stars and internet celebrities flooding into the pop music market this week, bringing in higher popularity and attention.
Wang Qian felt that it was impossible for him to achieve the terrifying single-week sales figure of over 1 billion this week.
After a while.
Adam walked towards the stage wearing a cool outfit. Looking at the radiant Jennifer, he wanted to go up and give her a hug. But just as he opened his arms, he saw Jennifer take a step back and move away.
Adam could only cover up the incident quickly and awkwardly and kept his distance from Jennifer.
He didn't dare to have any thoughts about Jennifer now, because his agent had warned him these days that Jennifer was not someone he could afford to offend.
Jennifer chatted with Adam for a few words and then left the stage, leaving it to Adam.
Adam's performance today is also a piece he carefully prepared, which combines rap, some rock elements, and currently popular electronic music.
It’s a new attempt for him!
Under the gaze of the whole audience.
Adam started his own show.
Off stage.
Green's eyes were calm as he said to Ally beside him, "He only has a good voice. Except for the time when he first started rapping, he just showed some talent. Now he has been relying on his past achievements..."
Ellie said helplessly: "Green, this is the reality of most singers. Adam is already quite talented, otherwise he wouldn't be so successful. Not everyone has amazing talent like you, Chris, and Sophie..."
Green shook his head slightly and said regretfully: "If I could do it again, I would definitely beat him in the North American division and enter the World Championship, so that I can perform on the World Championship stage!"
Ellie also said with some regret: "Yes, it's a pity that you didn't find a style and work that suits you. Otherwise, you could have eliminated Adam."
In Ellie's opinion, Green's talent is indeed a level higher than Adam's, except that his vocal talent is slightly inferior.
If Green can enter the world competition stage, I dare not say that he will eliminate Wang Qian and Sophie, but he will definitely get a more successful evaluation than Adam.
However, Green did not care about this. What mattered to her was the opportunity to perform with Wang Qian on stage and to have frequent contact with Wang Qian.
She glanced at the back of the stage with her big eyes, wondering whether she should try to go backstage and talk to Wang Qian later.
Not far away, Christine, who was sitting in the first row, was also slightly disappointed when listening to Adam's singing. She shook her head gently and said to Garbo beside her: "Adam is just like this. It is impossible for him to make greater progress in a short period of time."
Garbo said: "Not everyone can be as talented as Wang Qian and Sophie, who can always bring surprises. Adam is actually pretty good. He is now the second best singer in North America after you..."
Christine laughed and said nothing, but looked toward the back of the stage with anticipation. "I wonder what piano music Professor Wang Qian will play later? To be honest, the suona performance just now was great. Although it was my first time listening to suona, his performance had a kind of magic that could show us the picture directly through the music, making us ignore the instrument itself! This is incredible."
"Any musical instrument, in his hands, can be turned into art."
Jiabao: "So, there is only one Professor Wang Qian!"
Kristen nodded, looked around, and saw that many other people in the industry seemed satisfied with Adam's performance.
After all, not everyone is as picky and demanding as Kristen and Green. Most people's first requirement for pop music is whether it is catchy and pleasant to listen to.
Therefore, European and American pop music in recent years has basically focused on melody, while lyrics and the like are written freely in order to attract young people with boldness and openness.
Many popular singles in Europe and the United States dare not be translated directly into Chinese according to their original meaning, because that would definitely lead to bans, so they can only beautify and tactfully express their meanings.
But Christine's work is completely different from these people.
It was not until the World Championships that Wang Qian and Sophie brought European and American pop music into another level and realm, and it could be said to have some real musicality.
This rap song by Adam expresses the gender relations among young people, but it is not as straightforward as many of his previous songs. It is much more subtle and obscure. Coupled with dynamic electronic music and his own rap rhythm and style, it aroused cheers at the scene.
When he finished singing, there was warm applause and many people whistled.
Adam breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing the enthusiastic response, he smiled, bowed and left the stage.
Walking off the stage, Adam saw Elizabeth who was about to appear.
Both of them agreed to cooperate with the program team, so they received some care and were ranked first and second respectively, pushing Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori to the back.
Of course, Wang Qian doesn’t count.
No matter what time it is, the program team will not arrange Wang Qian to be the first to appear, unless Wang Qian has multiple performances. Otherwise, if there is only one performance, when Wang Qian's performance is over, the program's ratings will be at its peak and then will drop sharply. The audience will no longer have the greatest expectations, and many people will stop watching.
Even Sophie couldn't keep all the audience.
Therefore, Wang Qian would definitely not be the first to appear, but the last.
Elizabeth and Adam met each other, nodded in greeting and that was it. Their relationship was rather dull.
Elizabeth's works continue her own style, making steady progress on the road to success and firmly grasping the fans who support her all over the world.
This is the correct development path that a commercial singer should take.
No agency or record company will support their already successful singers to constantly change their styles and break through. The risk is too great. If they fail, their future may be completely ruined. Not only will they fail to transform their style, but they will also drive away their original fans.
Although the mature and unchanging style did not surprise most people at the scene, objectively speaking, Elizabeth's singing was also very nice and could attract emotional resonance from some people.
After all, who hasn’t had a love story
In addition, Elizabeth's own singing skills and talents have won the recognition of all the audiences at the scene and in front of the TV. When the song is launched on the market, the sales should not be bad.
Elizabeth's performance was considered a success. The next person to appear on the stage was not Miyuki Nakamori, but Jonathan.
Because Jonathan was directly related to Wang Qian, he was the first opponent to be eliminated by Wang Qian.
As a result, he received considerable attention in the world, and the commercial performance of his released works was second only to Wang Qian, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, and Elizabeth. He was the best among the contestants eliminated in the first round.
In addition, Jonathan also agreed to cooperate on the program team's new program, so of course he also received certain resource support.
Jonathan has recently participated in several variety shows, and the core of the questions asked by the host are all related to Wang Qian...
The program team is in the most uncomfortable mood at this time...
because!
Ever since Sophie stepped down, the show's ratings began to plummet. Adam's performance dropped, Elizabeth's performance dropped again, and now Jonathan's performance has dropped even more. Everyone in the program team is frowning and heartbroken!
From a peak of 3 billion viewers when Wang Qian was performing, it has dropped to less than 1 billion when Jonathan is performing now. Only over 800 million viewers are still watching, and the number is still decreasing.
Of course, the achievement of more than 800 million viewers watching simultaneously is already a success in itself. There have only been a few times in the history of television around the world when more than 800 million people watched simultaneously. The most popular World Cup final in the past few years had a record of more than 800 million people watching simultaneously.
Therefore, more than 800 million people watching is definitely a number that all TV stations and TV program crews dream of, and it is enough to make a lot of money.
But…
From the perspective of the world competition production team, it was an unbearable low point.
They could only hope in their hearts that the performances of these people would end quickly and that Sophie and Wang Qian would come on stage soon!
However…
Their suffering continues.
because.
After Jonathan stepped down, the Brazilian contestant took over and the ratings dropped further, reaching 600 million viewers.
When it came to the Danish contestant, 500 million people watched...
As for the Indian contestants, the number of viewers dropped even further, to 400 million, most of whom were local Indian viewers. Many viewers from other regions had little interest in the Indian contestants...
Until Miyuki Nakamori came on stage.
The ratings started to rise, and several crew members who were about to have a heart attack finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Miyuki Nakamori's appeal around the world has also risen to a new level. As soon as she came on stage, the number of viewers increased and directly reached the one billion mark!
only.
Everyone in the program crew is still looking forward to Wang Qian and Sophie coming on stage to quickly bring the ratings back to the peak again.
