The success of the world championship is not just the success of a few people like Wang Qian, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, and Elizabeth.
It’s the success of the entire program team.
Wang Qian, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, Elizabeth and other contestants have become world-class super singers, and each of them has made their mark in the history of world pop music.
Similarly, everyone in the program team has also gone down in history. Although they are behind the scenes, they have also created extraordinary history.
Now the program has come to a preliminary end, and the program team has begun the liquidation work. Everyone has contributed to this.
The person in charge of the program, Oni, immediately became one of the most powerful figures in the world's television variety show circle.
This morning alone, Oni received recruiting calls from major media groups in Europe and the United States, hoping to recruit him or wanting to invest in his next new show.
Even more omnipresent Wall Street capital heard the news and came to invest and get a piece of the pie.
So, naturally, Oni also regarded himself as the number one person in the world's variety show circle, looking down on everyone in the entertainment industry.
Even when facing Wang Qian, his mentality was different from last week.
Praying for Wang Qian to join the new show
Oni is not so urgent now.
With the participation of several major media groups in the world, Oni believes that the next new program will definitely be a success. No one knows better than him the power of the joint participation of these major media groups. At that time, it will be an energy that can sweep the world, break the record of the World Championship, pull the World Championship off the altar, and it is not impossible to create another existence with higher popularity than Wang Qian.
Oni turned his eyes and glanced at the bedroom door, knowing that Wang Qian was eating inside.
He had encountered this kind of treatment five or six years ago, when he was still a little-known producer and went to meet a big-name star to invite him to join his show.
At that time, he was sitting in the yard, watching the big star eating steak slowly at the dining table. It took him nearly twenty minutes to finish eating, and then he looked at him.
Things like this happen every moment in the entertainment industry.
Oni is one of the very few who have made a comeback. In just a few years, he has climbed to his current position and become one of the best television producers in the world.
The big shot who made him watch him eat steak for 20 minutes contacted him this morning, hoping for a chance to cooperate with him. Oni casually answered the question, obviously not wanting to cooperate with the other party again.
And Wang Qian allowed him to taste this feeling again when he stood at the top of the world.
Although Oni still had a smile on his face, he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
Zhou Qinghua, on his part, chatted with Qin Xuerong for a few words.
Zhou Qinghua asked: "Xue Rong, have you booked your return flight?"
Qin Xuerong nodded: "Yes, it's settled, for tomorrow. What about you guys?"
Zhou Qinghua smiled bitterly: "We don't know. The program team still has a lot of things to deal with. It may take me a month or so to go back. By the way, Professor Wang, are you still interested in appearing on variety shows recently?"
Zhou Qinghua obviously also wants to persuade Wang Qian to join the new program.
Qin Xuerong replied perfunctorily: "I don't know, I guess he is not interested. He has been in Los Angeles for too long this time, and there are too many things to deal with in China. Wang Qian may not want to stay abroad for too long."
Zhou Qinghua: “That’s a pity.”
Qin Xuerong smiled but said nothing.
Although Oni didn't understand Chinese, he said, "Ms. Qin, our program team is very sincere in inviting Professor Wang Qian."
Qin Xuerong still smiled and said, "We'll talk about new cooperation later. Let's settle this cooperation first. I hope our cooperation can have a successful conclusion."
Oni nodded slightly: "Of course, our reputation is very good."
As he spoke, Oni took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Qin Xuerong: "This is the championship bonus that Professor Wang Qian should have received for winning the world championship. It includes our ticket revenue bill, and you can see all the data clearly."
When giving this data, Oni's hands trembled slightly and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
If he had known that the box office revenue would explode so explosively, he would have rejected Wang Qian's two requests for a bonus increase no matter what. It would not matter even if it offended Wang Qian, as long as he could force Wang Qian to fulfill the contract and perform in the world game.
Now, he had to give out such a huge sum of money before his eyes.
Everyone in the program crew was so distressed after seeing the data that they couldn't sleep, even Zhou Qinghua was no exception.
Now that the dust has settled, the Chinese copyright holder represented by Zhou Qinghua has won the championship and will soon receive half of the total revenue. This means that half of the championship prize money taken by Wang Qian actually belongs to the copyright holder represented by Zhou Qinghua.
Qin Xuerong took a quick look and only looked at the last piece of data, which was 7% of the total box office revenue, as high as 800 million US dollars. That is to say, the total ticket revenue of all live performances of the World Games was as high as more than 11 billion US dollars, which is definitely a terrifying income.
The major media giants in North America may not have such high revenues every year.
And this is just the ticket revenue from the World Games, not including advertising revenue from cooperation with TV stations, on-site advertising insertions, etc.
At the very least, the total amount of other income will not be much lower than the ticket revenue.
The total net profit of the program team from the World Championship will not be less than 15 billion US dollars.
The Chinese copyright holder takes half, which is at least 7.5 billion US dollars. The other nine copyright holders score the remaining 7.5 billion US dollars, which means each of them can get at least 800 million US dollars, which may be exactly the same as Wang Qian's bonus income.
Qin Xuerong looked at Oni and Zhou Qinghua, and probably understood their feelings at the moment.
This bonus is really too much.
Although Wang Qian’s other income is even more terrifying, the total income during the World Championship may not be higher than the total income of the Chinese copyright holder.
However, other off-site income was beyond their control, and they could do nothing about it. And this $800 million prize money was the profit that Wang Qian had snatched from them, which would surely make all the copyright holders of the entire program group unable to let it go.
Qin Xuerong put the data down and said softly, "Let's wait until my accountant and lawyer come and take a look."
Oni's brows twitched and his hands clenched unconsciously. As a big shot in the North American entertainment industry, he instinctively disliked the lawyers, accountants and the like of celebrity artists, as they were the enemies of their producers.
Zhou Qinghua also frowned slightly, then relaxed and didn't care.
Anyway, the data is pretty much the same.
As he spoke, there was another knock on the door.
Qin Xuerong got up and opened the door.
"Hahaha, Xuerong, I miss you so much!"
There was a crisp laugh, and then a figure rushed over and hugged Qin Xuerong. He had a handsome but mature face, full of smiles. His eyes looked intently at the room behind. He saw Oni and Zhou Qinghua, but not Wang Qian, and his brows were slightly frowned.
Qin Xuerong pushed her sister Qin Xuehong away and said, "Sister, stop making trouble. We have something important to do."
Qin Xuehong said "oh" and walked in. He was followed by two middle-aged white men. They were the lawyer and accountant Qin Xuehong brought with him.
Any industry in North America that involves profits and taxes cannot be separated from accountants and lawyers.
Therefore, accounting and law are two professions that will never be eliminated in North America.
Qin Xuerong smiled and invited the two in, then said hello to Oni and Zhou Qinghua, and asked Oni to hand over the documents, contracts and data to the lawyers and accountants for review.
Qin Xuehong gently pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. Seeing Wang Qian sitting on the bed and eating breakfast leisurely, she smiled and said softly, "You look so comfortable, with so many people outside serving you. Did you just wake up?"
Although there was an element of teasing, there was also a hint of worry and heartache in Qin Xuehong's eyes.
She also noticed Wang Qian's recent fatigue.
So, she hasn't come to see Wang Qian recently because she doesn't want Wang Qian to work too hard.
After all, she always asked for a long time each time.
Wang Qian had just finished his meal and was about to wipe his mouth with a napkin.
Qin Xuehong ran over in a hurry: "Wait..."
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment and stopped.
Qin Xuehong ran over to Wang Qian and kissed him hard on his greasy lips. She licked them gently and said with a smile, "Beef soup dumplings, soybean milk, and shredded radish?"
Wang Qian was a little helpless, and he quickly and gently lay back, wiped his mouth, and said, "Be honest."
Qin Xuehong sat down, supporting her chin with both hands and looking at Wang Qian. Her hair hung straight down, and with her delicate face and a pair of bright big eyes, she looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old. She stared at Wang Qian and asked softly, "Did you miss me?"
Wang Qian was a little scared by her look and said, "I thought about it."
Qin Xuehong smiled even more brightly: "Although I know that what you said might be a lie, I am very happy to hear it. Let's go back together tomorrow!"
Wang Qian agreed, "Okay! You're not going to vacation here anymore?"
Qin Xuehong: "It's not interesting here. I think I can get more inspiration by staying with you. Besides, you have to give lectures at the Central Conservatory of Music when you go back this time. You can't miss it. Also, if you go to Beijing, do you think Shuimu and Beijing University will let you go? Haha, there will be a lot of fun to watch, I don't want to miss it."
As a wealthy second-generation who grew up in Beijing, Qin Xuehong knows almost all the bigwigs in the entertainment circle of several famous universities in Beijing, and is looking forward to the meeting between Wang Qian and these people.
Wang Qian also had a headache after hearing what Qin Xuehong said. He knew that what Qin Xuehong was talking about might be what was about to happen.
He hasn't rejected it yet.
I could only sigh softly in my heart.
Once you enter the world, you really have no choice.
Although, he is now famous and wealthy, and enjoys a high reputation all over the world, he is about to become the number one person in the entertainment industry in China.
but.
He still misses the eight years of obscurity before that.
Every day I stroll around the store, eat hot pot, read the news, go shopping, go home to watch TV, play musical instruments, and sleep in...
Those were truly magical days.
Unfortunately, those heavenly days are gone forever.
Even if he wanted to give up everything and quit the entertainment industry now, it would be impossible.
Not to mention the billions of fans around the world, and the billions of fans in China, the Chinese authorities alone may not agree.
China has finally produced a superstar like Wang Qian who is recognized worldwide. What he carries has long gone beyond the scope of the entertainment industry and the cultural circle.
Wang Qian knew that he had some historical responsibilities on his shoulders.
Qin Xuehong blinked her big eyes and saw that Wang Qian was a little exhausted physically and mentally. Her face was full of heartache. She stretched out her hand and squeezed Wang Qian's hand, and said softly: "If you are tired, go back and take a rest. Don't accept anyone's invitation. I don't think anyone dares to force you to do anything."
Wang Qian smiled, feeling warm in his heart, and nodded: "Yeah, I know, thank you. Let's not talk about this anymore, I should get up... Otherwise, the people outside will be unhappy."
Qin Xuehong said calmly: "If anyone is unhappy, just leave by yourself. Don't give them a good face. The capitalists here are the most realistic. When you are valuable, no matter how you treat them, they will beg you. When you are worthless, no matter how you beg them, they will not even look at you. So, don't take them too seriously."
Wang Qian looked at Qin Xuehong. He also agreed with this truth. Having lived two lives, he had already seen through it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xuehong also saw it so clearly.
Wang Qian got up, put on his pajamas and went out.
Qin Xuehong did not go out immediately, but took Wang Qian's unfinished breakfast, ate two soup dumplings, and a fried dough stick, nodded and said: "Not bad, the Chinese food in this hotel is so delicious, I will come to eat again next time."
Qin Xuehong walked out while eating, and then without saying a word, he glanced at Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, and did not want to get involved in these things. He sat quietly aside and took out his mobile phone to look at it.
Wang Qian greeted Oni and Zhou Qinghua and sat down.
Zhou Qinghua smiled and said, "Professor Wang, you made a lot of money this time. Are you interested in working with us again? You will definitely make more money next time we work together!"
Zhou Qinghua still didn't give up.
Wang Qian shook his head gently: "Forget it, I want to rest."
Oni said again: "Professor Wang Qian, according to the conditions you mentioned last time, we can give you 10% of the copyright and 30% of the profits! The copyright of your performance and all the profits will belong to you personally..."
Although Oni was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Qian, he still performed his duties conscientiously and once again extended an open invitation to Wang Qian.
The data is there, Wang Qian's appeal around the world is unparalleled.
Of course, Oni still hopes that Wang Qian can join, and several media giants who hope to enter the market also hope that Wang Qian can continue to join.
only.
Wang Qian still shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. O'Neill, my conditions will not change."
Oni once again said with regret: "That's a shame."
Giving up 10% of the copyright and 30% of the profits is already the most extreme concession.
The program team has already started negotiations with the giants. Once the giants are introduced, they will inevitably give up some copyrights and revenues again, and it will be even more impossible to give Wang Qian more copyright income.
Therefore, Oni was prepared to be rejected, and the invitation was just a routine matter.
The accountant and the lawyer both reviewed the data and documents and said there were no problems.
“Numbers are fine!”
"There is no problem with the contract, you can sign it!"
The contract was placed in front of Wang Qian.
As long as he signs, he can earn $800 million in bonuses within three days.
Wang Qian was also surprised when he saw the number and said, "Mr. O'Neill, thank you for your bonus."
Oni said calmly: "This is the result of your hard work."
He did not say that it was what Wang Qian deserved, but simply said that it was the result of Wang Qian's hard work. The implication was that Wang Qian forced them to give it, and they did not want to give it.
Wang Qian immediately understood what Oni meant, smiled faintly, and said, "Mr. Oni, win-win is the only way to achieve long-term development."
After saying that, Wang Qian wrote his name on the contract and handed it to Oni.
Oni also wrote his name on the contract on behalf of the program team and said, "In one hour, we will announce the bonus amount to the public."
Wang Qian said indifferently: "Of course!"
When the others present heard this, they all knew that once this number was announced, it would definitely cause a storm around the world.
because.
It's not just the individual prize money that set records.
We can also infer the approximate income of the program team from this number, which will make ordinary people and capital all over the world crazy.
