Although the guzheng music played by Wang Qian last time received hundreds of millions of download sales in Europe and the United States, the cumulative sales have now reached a terrifying level of nearly 400 million.
It is the most influential Chinese folk music in the world.
but!
Wang Qian is still not very optimistic about the suona music to be performed tonight.
because.
He played the suona purely solo, without any accompaniment, so the performance was not optimal.
The Guzheng is known as the Chinese piano and the king of classical instruments. It has many similarities with the piano. In addition, the storm that Wang Qian played last time was also more of a popular type, so it is naturally more easily accepted by everyone.
However, the suona piece "White Bird's Taunting" that he played this time was completely different from all Western instruments, so naturally it would not be so easily accepted by them.
Sales volume will be difficult to increase.
Wang Qian had already predicted in his mind that if weekly sales could exceed 10 million, it would be a success and the best publicity for Chinese folk musical instruments.
But I didn't expect it.
His appeal among European and American fans is surprisingly strong.
After one hour, the sales of Kno Heaven's Door, the first one, have reached more than 370 million. The sales volume still shocked everyone. This is the number that Wang Qian released nearly an hour later. If Wang Qian released it just after midnight, how much would the sales volume be at this time? 500 million? Or 600 million? What about that day? Breaking 1 billion in a single day
When all the people in the industry see this number and think deeply about it, they become unable to think because they dare not think too much.
Because, just think about it!
Just last week, Wang Qian’s record of breaking 1.1 billion in single-week sales may be in jeopardy again!
Who can remain calm
The second place is naturally Wang Qian's work, 500mills, and sales have reached 340 million, which has opened up a considerable gap with Christine, who is ranked third. Christine's work has just exceeded 80 million sales and was released about an hour earlier than Wang Qian.
Ranked fourth is Sophie, who released her work at the same time as Wang Qian. Her global sales have reached a terrifying 70 million at the moment, and she is only about 10 million away from the third-placed Sophie, and the gap is still narrowing. Many people predict that Sophie may surpass Kristen in the end, defeating Kristen for three consecutive weeks and becoming the pop singer second only to Wang Qian.
Green is still ranked fifth, with sales of more than 50 million, which shocked fans and industry insiders all over the world, because she is the only new singer who has not participated in the World Championships but can still enter the top ten, and she has firmly suppressed Adam and Elizabeth, who participated in the World Championships and had the bonus of popularity from the World Championships, behind her.
Many North American fans regretted not voting for Green and not letting Green eliminate Adam. With the talent and strength Green has shown now, is it possible for him to defeat Wang Qian
Things that haven’t happened will leave people with regrets.
As a result, Green's popularity soared in a short period of time.
The sixth place is not Adam, but Miyuki Nakamori, who released a work at the same time as Wang Qian. The sales of her work have reached 50 million at this time, and the sales gap with Green is less than 5 million. It is very likely that she will surpass Green in the future.
Miyuki Nakamori has thus proved that she is not a flash in the pan, but that she truly has a stable fan base all over the world. Her works and performance are also extremely stable. Her talent and strength are even above Adam and Elizabeth, and she is second only to Wang Qian and Sophie.
Adam was ranked seventh, which made Adam himself and many people in the industry extremely confused. Adam was ranked third an hour ago, but now he fell to seventh. Although his sales volume was extremely terrifying, with more than 47 million sales in just two hours, he was only ranked seventh.
Elizabeth is still ranked eighth, with sales of more than 45 million. She is very stable and can maintain stable sales and growth every time. Although her style is relatively simple, she has a huge fixed fan base. As long as she performs steadily, she will be an evergreen in the world music scene in the future.
The ninth and tenth pieces are something that many people did not expect!
Because both of these works are by Wang Qian.
Ninth is Wang Qian’s piano piece Nocturne in E-flat major. Its sales reached a terrifying 33 million in a short period of time, which absolutely shocked the world music scene. Both the pop music scene and the classical music scene were shocked by this. This sales volume is higher than the pop songs carefully produced by many talented new singers and big-name singers!
This piece of work is obviously more classical in style, with very few popular elements. It is far less popular than Wang Qian’s previous piano pieces, Exodus and Magic City Rhapsody. Logically, its appeal to the public would be greatly reduced.
But the reality is that the sales of this nocturne are so exaggerated.
This has made many masters in the field of classical music eager to make new moves, and they are more eager to produce and release works.
What shocked the world pop and classical music circles the most was.
The Chinese folk musical instrument suona, which Wang Qian showed to the world for the first time, the White Bird of Taunting he played actually ranked tenth on the weekly sales list. At this moment, the cumulative sales reached a terrifying 25 million, just over one million more than the work ranked eleventh, and it had just been in the tenth position for a short time.
The sales and ranking shocked not only the European and American music circles, but even Wang Qian himself was a little shocked at the moment. He could only sigh: "My European and American friends, awesome!"
A smile appeared on Wang Qian's lips.
Four works once again occupied the top ten positions.
So far.
Wang Qian has maintained a record that all his works released every week are ranked in the top ten of the weekly charts, including classical music.
Such a record is unprecedented and no one has ever achieved it before.
However, Wang Qian was too lazy to think about such small records. Many outside media and industry insiders have not yet dug into these small records surrounding Wang Qian, and are still focusing on the few numbers created by Wang Qian.
Buzz…
The phone vibrated.
Wang Qian thought it was a message from Sophie or Jennifer, or from Miyuki Nakamori and Maou Chiba...
But, he looked and saw it was Taylor.
Taylor was obviously still awake at this late hour. He sent a message saying directly, "I miss you very much. I wanted to visit you tonight, but Professor Dawson and the others called me and others to chat until now. We have been studying your suona performance and piano music. That piano music is a rare masterpiece. I am looking forward to your subsequent creations."
"And this suona has a unique way and music in musical expression. We feel that you may lack the coordination of instruments and fail to express this piece perfectly."
"Professor Dawson asked me to invite you to give a class at Curtis College after the World Championships, and then return to Huaxia Central Conservatory of Music to give a class."
"Professor Dawson has obtained permission from the college. If you are willing to give a lecture, you can invite a Chinese folk music band to play suona music with you. In the classroom of Curtis College, you can show the charm of Chinese suona to the world..."
Wang Qian finished reading it quickly and hesitated for a moment.
Without a doubt.
The attention his lectures at Curtis are definitely higher than those at the Central Conservatory of Music.
After all, Curtis's status in the field of world classical music is far higher than that of the Central Conservatory of Music of China, and his influence is naturally not at the same level. If he had not been a professor at the Curtis Institute, he would not have been quickly recognized by the European and American classical music circles, nor would he have received much respect on the world stage.
No one here cares about his identity as a professor at three music conservatories in China. Whether it is the artists in the classical music world, or the contestants like Adam and other contestants on the world stage and the judges like Ceci, no one cares about his identity at the China Conservatory of Music.
but…
After he gave lectures at Curtis, he became a professor at the Curtis Institute, and his status in the field of European and American music instantly changed.
Professor Wang Qian became his name on the world stage, and it was also a respectful title recognized by all the contestants, judges, and audiences...
Likewise, he believes that this title and identity have helped him eliminate the barriers in the hearts of many ordinary European and American fans, allowing him to be easily recognized by ordinary people.
After all, most ordinary people still have superstition and blind obedience towards authority and top universities.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him, an outsider from China, to truly conquer all the fans and industry insiders in Europe and the United States.
At this point, he felt a little grateful to Kosti.
At the same time, he also clearly knew that if he could use the platform of Curtis Institute to promote Chinese folk music again, the response in the world would definitely be much greater than if he returned to the Central Conservatory of Music to give lectures.
I hesitated and struggled for a moment.
Wang Qian still had a stronger desire to go home.
Moreover, after all, he was not a professional graduate in the field of classical music, and he did not admire or desire the reputation of top classical colleges such as Curtis, Juilliard, and Eastman.
So, he didn't reply to Taylor's message and just pretended that he was asleep and would talk about it tomorrow.
I looked at the names and sales at the end of the weekly chart again and found that there were more unfamiliar cross-border people, especially some internet celebrities, bloggers, big sports stars and actors.
Last week, many people from different fields tasted the sweetness of releasing songs. A certain big-name actor achieved sales of over 80 million in a week. The speed at which he makes money is much faster than making blockbusters, and his popularity will not be affected. The sales of his works are so high, and the speed at which he attracts popularity is no slower than that of a blockbuster movie.
There are many other examples of making big money.
Therefore, there are naturally more people from different fields releasing songs this week.
The world is bustling with people seeking profit!
As long as there is something that can make money, it will attract a lot of people to flock to it.
This will also attract the attention of everyone in the world to the field of pop music again.
With so many top-tier celebrities in various fields releasing songs, it will naturally attract some people who usually don’t pay much attention to pop music, which will lead to further prosperity of the pop music market.
This is a mutually beneficial thing!
Wang Qian also gained some benefits from this.
After all, the market is bigger, so he, as the biggest singer, can naturally enjoy the biggest benefits.
After thinking for a while...
Wang Qian's phone vibrated twice again, with less than a minute between them.
Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori sent messages almost at the same time.
Sophie: "Jennifer and I are waiting for you to come and talk!"
Miyuki Nakamori: "Wang Qianjun, Zhenzhu and I have many music questions that we would like to ask you..."
Perhaps because it was rather absurd, the tone of the messages they sent was rather tactful.
Wang Qian looked at Qin Xuerong, who was tired and asleep beside him, and his heart began to stir!
Are Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori's rooms far apart
Is it next door
Can we connect
Wang Qian thought of more scenes in his mind, then he put on his clothes quietly, kissed Qin Xuerong on the forehead, stood up and walked out.
After leaving the room, Wang Qian first walked around the corridor to make sure that Sophie and Jennifer were not there. Then he turned back and gently knocked on the door of Sophie's room.
Barely a second.
The door of the room was opened and it was Jennifer who opened it.
Wang Qian's eyes lit up instantly.
Jennifer turned around gently in front of Wang Qian, very satisfied with Wang Qian's astonished expression at the moment: "How is it? Does it look good? I went to Chinatown to order it last week, and it took me a long time to learn how to put it on myself."
Jennifer was wearing a red Tang suit and her hair was tied into a simple bun. She looked extremely dignified and elegant, with a striking beauty that combined the East and the West.
Wang Qian was really amazed for a moment, then he quickly walked in and closed the door: "Not bad, very beautiful, where's Sophie?"
He felt some anticipation in his heart.
Sophie walked out quietly, which made Wang Qian's eyes light up. Suddenly, even Jennifer seemed to be overshadowed.
Sophie was wearing a snow-white Hanfu, which made her look more restrained and graceful.
Tang suit and Hanfu have different styles. Tang suit is more grand, while Hanfu is more graceful!
After all, the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful and open dynasty in Chinese history, and it was also an era when women had the highest status, so women's clothing was more elegant and open.
Hanfu, on the other hand, is more restrained and graceful.
Obviously, Jennifer's elegant demeanor makes her more suitable for Tang suits.
Sophie's angelic and artistic temperament are more suitable for Hanfu. When she appears, the whole room seems to dim.
Sophie also smiled at Wang Qian, and the slight dissatisfaction and awkwardness in her heart disappeared. Seeing Wang Qian's surprised and obsessed eyes, she felt that everything was satisfied.
Jennifer felt a little disappointed and regretful.
I regret ordering a set of clothes for Sophie as well...
Stole her thunder!
time!
Time goes by quickly.
Since the two of them catered to Wang Qian's preferences and joy so much, Wang Qian would naturally try his best to satisfy them.
so.
More than two hours passed.
Wang Qiancai left Sophie's room.
Look at the other room not far away!
Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, feeling that his blood was still in an excited state, so he knocked on the door and entered!
Another hour passed...
Wang Qian rubbed his eyes and walked out. It was really getting late.
It’s already past five o’clock!
Wang Qian wanted to go back to sleep quickly.
but.
Just walked out of Miyuki Nakamori's room.
A hand reached out from the side, grabbed his hand and walked away.
Wang Qian was startled and almost jumped up. After taking a closer look, he realized it was Bella!
Bella grabbed Wang Qian's hand and walked towards the elevator. She said in a firm tone, "I said, I must wait for you tonight!"
