The Chinese pop music market has also recently experienced an epic explosion.
Qianqian Jingting has grown from nothing to almost monopolize the Chinese music market.
Judging from the user data alone, Qianqian Jingting has already become a world-class giant platform.
It’s a pity that the company was established too recently, and its foundation in the industry is still insufficient, while its business is not extensive enough.
Although Tengfei is now the absolute second, its user data is only over 100 million, which is nearly ten times smaller than Qianqian Jingting. It is no longer on the same level.
However, Tengfei’s copyright library of works is still the best in the country, far surpassing the current Qianqian Jingting!
With the current explosion of the pop music market, Tengfei can never compare with Qianqian Jingting in terms of new works, but the income brought by the copyright library is enough to surprise Tengfei.
Wang Qian looked at Qian Qian and listened to the latest sales chart.
Although he released it about an hour later, it is still definitely among the top few!
However, the ranking is different from that in the European and American markets.
At the top of the Qianqian Jingting chart is the folk song 500mills, which has sold over 590 million copies, and is only a few million away from breaking the 600 million mark in total sales.
The popularity of this folk song also led to the popularity of other classic folk songs in China!
The sales of Because of Love, a previous collaboration between Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, also saw a surge, and it even made it into the top ten of the weekly sales chart, ranking fifth with sales of 150 million, bringing the total sales of this work to over 1 billion, making it one of the few works of Wang Qian with total sales exceeding 1 billion.
The second one is the rock song Kno Heaven's Door, which has a sales volume of over 550 million in China, slightly lower than that in the European and American markets.
Ranked third is still Wang Qian's work, which is the folk song "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" played on suona. This work caused a sensation in China. Many people would choose to download it even if they did not like it very much, just to support Wang Qian and folk music. The sales volume reached more than 350 million.
The fourth piece is of course Wang Qian's piano piece Nocturne. Many people heard Wang Qian say that this was the opening piece of a series, and they all chose to download it to show their support. Moreover, this Nocturne is indeed very nice to listen to, and its sales volume is only slightly lower than that of A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, reaching more than 310 million.
Ranked fifth is the folk song "Because of Love" which Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan previously collaborated on the China Voice stage. This best folk song in the past decade has become popular again. After such a long time, it has once again achieved sales of more than 150 million in a single day, bringing the total sales to over 1 billion!
All the works with total online music sales exceeding 1 billion are Wang Qian's, and all four of his works last week entered the 1 billion sales club.
The sixth is the work of Miyuki Nakamori, with sales reaching more than 90 million, proving that Miyuki Nakamori's popularity in Asia is second only to Wang Qian.
Ranked seventh is Sophie's work, with sales reaching over 70 million, slightly lower than Miyuki Nakamori.
Later, many works by other big-name domestic singers sold very well.
One of the queen-level singers' works also became a hit overnight, with sales reaching 60 million, and she may surpass Sophie at any time...
Wang Qian looked back casually!
Qian Qian Jingting's current works at the top of the list are almost all works by big-name singers, including some works by The Voice of China contestants. The number of independent singers and independent bands is getting smaller and smaller.
Sales also continue to climb.
Even an independent singer ranked 20th has sales of more than 30 million, and weekly sales are bound to exceed 100 million. Even if he can only get 1 cent for a song, he can earn more than 10 million, and this is only the income of an independent singer ranked 20th.
The incomes of many other top-ranked big-name singers and talented newcomers have skyrocketed, far exceeding what they had before!
Like the entertainment circles in Europe and the United States, pop music has become dominant in the Chinese entertainment circle, and singers have gradually become the highest-paid profession.
Many actors and internet celebrities achieved considerable success after releasing their works last week. One internet celebrity anchor with excellent singing skills achieved sales of 90 million in a single week, shocking the entire entertainment industry. This naturally attracted more people to join in.
Wang Qian was quite happy to see this situation.
This was his original intention in creating Qianqian Jingting - to provide all musicians and people who love music with a creative environment and display platform that is as fair as possible.
It has been less than a year and we can almost say that we have achieved initial success.
Wang Qian felt somewhat satisfied and casually clicked on the list of the Tengfei platform to take a look.
On the sales chart for the latest week, we can see that the first place is a superstar-level singer, and the sales volume has just exceeded 50 million. Compared with the previous Tengfei data, this is definitely a breakthrough data, but compared with Qianqian Jingting, it is really not enough.
However, Wang Qian took a quick look.
Tengfei made a fortune by relying on the many classic old songs in its copyright library.
Many classic old songs that are familiar to most people have had good sales recently.
Especially today, the sales of many classic folk songs have skyrocketed. Although not as terrible as Because of Love, which was co-produced by Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, there are several classic works that have achieved sales of tens of millions today, which can bring unexpected wealth to Tengfei and its copyright owners.
Of course, the copyright holders of many other classic old songs have recently reaped a considerable amount of income.
Therefore, for the entertainment industry, the copyright library is the greatest wealth.
The reason why the six Hollywood giants can stand firm is that their biggest foundation is the huge copyright library accumulated over the past century. Even if the movies made by their companies every year do not make money, their copyright library can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in fixed income every year. This is an advantage that no other small and medium-sized companies can match. Compared with them, the production companies in the Chinese entertainment industry are not even beginners.
Similarly, thanks to the recent boom in the pop music market, the copyright libraries of many old record companies have also brought them huge income! The copyright libraries in the hands of these old record companies can also bring them a fixed and considerable income every year, which can also support them to stand forever.
Wang Qian learned in his previous life that the greatest legacy left by the deceased King of Pop was half ownership of the copyright library of a giant record company. This half ownership could bring it hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year!
If Qianqian Jingting wants to become a giant in the future, it must quickly enrich its copyright library.
Acquire Tengfei
A hint of thought flashed across Wang Qian's eyes.
However, he knew that this was almost impossible.
Tengfei is an indispensable part of Tencent's cultural and entertainment strategic ecosystem. Unless the cultural and entertainment strategy fails and is abandoned, Tencent will never give up Tengfei, a music platform second only to Qianqian Jingting.
unless…
Replacement!
Use Tengfei to exchange part of Qianqian Jingting’s shares.
In this way, Tencent will definitely agree.
But.
Wang Qian does not want to bring in giants.
Shaking his head gently, Wang Qian put aside these thoughts for the time being and decided to talk about them later.
If you can’t acquire it, then you can only accumulate it slowly.
or…
Release your own works quickly, one album a month, and release all the classic works in your memory in the shortest possible time
But…
Even if he released an album a month, Wang Qian estimated that it would take him decades to release all the good music in his memory.
“I can only regard this as my lifelong career.”
Wang Qian ate a soup dumpling in one bite.
After turning off Tengfei, Wang Qian looked at the current public opinion again.
A quick look at several major social platforms shows that basically the top hot topics are still related to him. The name Wang Qian is still the biggest traffic password, accounting for more than half of the traffic on several major Internet platforms.
Even the Spring Festival Gala and several major popular films during the Spring Festival cannot compete with him and have suppressed him for a month or two.
The hottest topic on Weibo was a long article published by Xue Man in the morning—Professor Wang’s journey to becoming a musical master!
The popularity of this Weibo article is astonishingly high, with over 100 million views, over 10 million reposts and likes, and over 10 million comments.
Wang Qian clicked it and took a look.
"I watched Professor Wang's performance yesterday and couldn't calm down for a long time. I was born in a cultural family in Beijing and have known many folk music masters and piano artists since I was a child. What I heard them talk about most is that Chinese musicians are marginalized in the world, and the survival soil of domestic music art is also mediocre, so it is difficult for a master-level music artist to emerge."
"In the entire history of the world, there are only a handful of great music artists, only five. Each of them has left his name in history, and most of their works are still circulated today, and are still the must-learn repertoires for every music artist on their path to growth."
"We in China don't have a great music artist. Similarly, according to the words of several seniors I know, it may be difficult to have one in the future. Even a piano master like Mingming who is recognized by the world only appears once in a hundred years in China. But in Europe and the United States, piano masters similar to Mingming appear every year."
“And this situation will change until Professor Wang shows up.”
"Because, Professor Wang, is about to become China's first master-level music artist."
"After publishing a series of piano pieces that have swept the world, Professor Wang is finally creating his own path in music and art. This nocturne is the beginning of Professor Wang's mastery! At the same time, the guzheng piece Storm and this suona piece Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix have been highly recognized around the world, which is also a groundbreaking achievement."
"In fact, not to mention his achievements in piano, Professor Wang has brought Chinese folk music to the world on his own and has won worldwide recognition. For this reason, he is worthy of being listed in the history of world music development, and his status is not inferior to those great artists."
"Once Professor Wang has become a master artist with his piano, coupled with his achievements in Chinese folk music, I can't think of anyone in history who can compare with him. Even those five masters are inferior to him..."
"Several folk music masters I know were so excited about this that they couldn't sleep all night."
"But if you want to talk about regrets, there is a little bit of it."
"That is, Professor Wang is not a graduate of a formal music school, but a self-taught one. This certainly proves that Professor Wang is an incomparable genius, but it also cannot bring more recognition to Chinese classical music."
…
The number of messages has exceeded 10 million.
"He taught himself, became a music master, and brought Chinese folk music to the world on his own. Every instrument he plays has reached the level of the world's top masters. Who can compare to such a genius? Even those five masters combined are not good enough."
"I am not interested in these classical music. I just hope Wang Qian can release an album soon after returning to China. I hope it will be a rock album."
"God of rock and roll, king of folk music, music master, folk resurrectionist! What other titles are there?"
"When will Professor Wang come home? I need to pick him up at the airport."
"Hahaha, I have already reserved a seat for Professor Wang's lecture at the Central Conservatory of Music through my teacher. My teacher said that all the famous music schools in the world will send people here, and there will also be many world-renowned music artists attending the class. Who in the world has this kind of opportunity now? Only Professor Wang has it."
"Can a genius like Professor Wang appear once in ten thousand years?"
…
Wang Qian glanced at her casually, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, and he remembered Xue Man whom he had met last time on the stage of China's Voice. Xue Man looked extremely quiet, pretty and introverted, but she spoke in a very generous manner on the Internet, and praised Wang Qian in every possible way.
In addition to Xue Man, the news released by CCTV officially about Wang Qian winning the championship and performing on the world stage also became popular.
Recently, every time there is new news about Wang Qian in the World Championship, the official news platform will release follow-up as soon as possible, which has contributed a lot of popularity to Wang Qian and made more people who don’t usually pay attention to the entertainment industry notice Wang Qian, the pop singer who won glory for the country and the nation in the World Championship.
Knock knock knock…
There was a knock on the door.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong raised their heads and looked outside at the same time.
Qin Xuerong put down the food in her hand and said softly, "I'll go see who's here. You eat first, don't be in a hurry, it doesn't matter if you let them wait for you for a while."
In Qin Xuerong's opinion, Wang Qian's health is the most important. Whoever comes has to wait for Wang Qian to finish breakfast before they can meet and discuss business.
Wang Qian nodded and quickened his eating pace.
Qin Xuerong came to the door of the room and looked through the peephole. Seeing Zhou Qinghua and the program director Oni, she gently opened the door.
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Xue Rong, has Professor Wang woken up?"
Oni also smiled and nodded at Qin Xuerong, remaining polite.
Qin Xuerong asked the two to come in: "You sit down for a while, Wang Qian just got up and is eating breakfast. I will talk to you after breakfast."
Zhou Qinghua nodded: "Okay, we'll wait for him for a while."
Oni frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He had already made an appointment to meet Wang Qian today. Qin Xuerong changed his morning schedule to the afternoon, and he agreed, turning down all other work for the day.
You know, as the person in charge of the program team, Oni is extremely busy now. It is no exaggeration to say that he earns tens of millions of dollars every minute.
However, he turned down a lot of work for Wang Qian.
Now, do we still have to wait for Wang Qian to have breakfast
Oni felt that Wang Qian was a little disrespectful to him and the program team.
But, I am still unhappy.
He didn't dare show it and had to keep smiling.
If it was any other big star, he would have walked away immediately.
But this is Wang Qian.
He doesn't dare.
