Tengfei restored both of Wang Qian’s songs that had been removed from the shelves.
so.
Now, among the top ten new song charts, Wang Qian's works once again occupy six positions.
and.
Wang Qian can now announce it to the outside world.
His work has broken the record for first-month downloads of new songs.
Moreover, more than one work broke this record.
First, "It's Not That Simple" is the favorite song of the urban middle class.
The number of auditions has grown rapidly, now reaching more than 130 million, and the download data has directly exceeded 30 million, reaching 30,553,804.
Not only did it break the record, it also raised the record by two or three million, and became the first song in the history of the Chinese music scene to have downloads exceed 30 million in the first month of its release!
The second one is the latest song “I Believe”!
This song is underrated and is loved by many young people nowadays. Many short videos posted on the Internet use this song as background music. In reality, many supermarkets and shopping malls also play this song all day long.
If it had been released earlier, Wang Qian felt that this song might have taken first place, and now it is about to break 30 million.
Second, I believe, listen 115805400, download 29504280.
Third, Ordinary Road, listen to 109045809, download 29063208!
Fourth, You in the Past, listen at 106894680, download at 28807890.
The fifth place is still the position of Li Qingyao's new song. The audition volume has exceeded 200 million, and the growth rate has become slower. The audition data has also reached more than 22 million. The growth rate of downloads is also extremely slow compared to Wang Qian's current explosive speed. However, this is a normal phenomenon.
For general new songs, the data growth rate will drop significantly by the end of the month. Li Qingyao's new song consumed a lot of publicity resources in the early stage to squeeze its popularity potential. It is actually very good that it can still have such an increase now, which is much better than most of the new songs that came later.
but!
Compared with Wang Qian’s several new songs, the growth rate seems slow.
Because what Wang Qian's songs lack is exposure, so every time they get a lot of exposure, the data will skyrocket.
The data of the two songs that have just been restored, To Live and Those Flowers, did not grow as much as the previous songs. After all, they were only released not long ago.
Four songs!
At the same time, it broke the record of first-month downloads of new songs held by Liu Shengnan for several years!
Such results.
If it happened to other big-name singers, the entire internet would probably have started celebrating and bragging about it. It would definitely be huge news that would shake up the Chinese music scene.
but.
Wang Qian searched on the Internet, and apart from his own fans who were happy about it on his Weibo, other self-media that had some influence on me, entertainment media, and most of the celebrities and artists did not mention this matter.
As if nothing happened!
Those self-media all knew that they had just given Wang Qian another wave of free publicity.
Therefore, after this wave of events involving Wang Qian and the three major music conservatories was over, those self-media and entertainment media once again ignored Wang Qian and continued to hype other entertainment news events that had been recharged.
Only a few people are still immersed in the discussion about Wang Qian being hired as a piano professor by three colleges. This wave of discussion enthusiasm will only last for a day or two at most, and will soon be covered by other overwhelming entertainment news. Now the heat has dropped significantly.
"hehe!"
Wang Qian smiled self-deprecatingly.
He knew that this was the result of the efforts of Tengfei and the Southern Entertainment Group behind it, and other entertainment groups must have also contributed to it to a greater or lesser extent.
It’s still the same purpose!
Prevent Wang Qian from increasing his exposure.
Don't let Wang Qian rise too quickly.
They still have hopes of signing Wang Qian.
The more popular Wang Qian is now, the more enthusiastic they are about signing him.
This is a super cash cow. It can be said that one person can support a large company.
Wang Qian looked at his Weibo and found the comment section was more lively than ever before.
because.
They were not only discussing enthusiastically the fact that Wang Qian was hired as a piano professor by three music conservatories, but they were also discussing the three piano pieces.
What’s more important is that most people are discussing the skyrocketing data of several of Wang Qian’s songs!
Four songs broke records at the same time, and it looks like they will all exceed 30 million downloads in a few days, which will definitely create an unprecedented record.
Now, several of Wang Qian’s songs are on the Tengfei platform, either setting records or on the way to setting the next record!
"When will Professor Wang's piano music be uploaded? I am a rough guy who has no interest in classical music, but after listening to the boss's three pieces, I want to play them on repeat. They are really super nice, especially watching Professor Wang's performance video. It's super exciting and the performance is great."
"Professor Wang, I am a student of Mo Yin, and I hope to attend your class next semester."
"Professor Wang's four songs have broken the new song download record that Liu Shengnan has held for several years on Tengfei. Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Professor Wang for setting an unprecedented record. It's amazing!"
"To be honest, I'm not excited at all that the boss has broken records with four songs now, because this is within my expectations. Professor Wang is awesome."
"Professor Wang, if you don't want to release new songs, you can just post the piano music for us to listen to."
"Congratulations to the professor for setting a new record!"
…
The comment section is very lively.
The trolls and troublemakers have all disappeared and cannot be found even if you want to.
Wang Qian typed and posted a message again: "I am very surprised to see that four songs have set new records for first-month downloads of new songs at the same time. This is inseparable from the support of each and every one of you. Thank you all. Regarding the three piano pieces, I will record and upload them as soon as possible. Piano is just my personal hobby, and I don’t spend a lot of time practicing. My level is actually very limited, not as good as everyone brags about. Please don’t flatter me too much. I don’t know what I can teach college students. This is really a mistake made by the leaders of the three colleges."
“Thank you again for your support.”
Just released.
Now is the time when the comments section becomes active.
As a result, tens of thousands of people immediately liked and forwarded the post.
"Front row touch Professor Wang!"
"Shock, this is just your hobby, you haven't practiced it well? Then you practice it well and treat it as your main job, what else can you do?"
"Professor Wang, we are not flattering you. We are just telling you the truth. The leaders of the three colleges are not blind. Don't pretend."
"Shocked, Professor Wang, are you saying that those experts and masters in the field of piano are rubbish? They are not as good as you who just play it as a hobby?"
"Professor Wang is awesome!"
"Please upload three piano pieces quickly. I'm waiting to learn them."
"There's nothing wrong with what Professor Wang said. After all, Professor Wang graduated with a degree in acting and started a hotpot restaurant. Isn't piano a hobby? It's just that this casual hobby has crushed the career that others have worked hard for decades."
…
Wang Qian was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw what these guys said.
However, he was too lazy to continue explaining.
To explain is to cover up.
Just let them have fun there.
Wang Qian did some searching and found that there were only some scattered small self-media outlets reporting on his record-breaking four songs, and not many people were paying attention.
Among them, a self-media with more than 100,000 followers gave a relatively comprehensive account, which even fascinated Wang Qian.
"I uploaded a picture, which is a screenshot of the new song list on the homepage of the Tengfei platform. The first four songs are all works by Professor Wang Qian. And to give you some popular science, Professor Wang's four works have just broken the first-month download record of new songs that Liu Shengnan has held for several years, and also increased the highest record by millions, creating a new record."
"How many records did Professor Wang create in the Chinese pop music scene this month? Telling them out may overturn your worldview and refresh your understanding of Professor Wang! Let me tell you one by one."
"First, Professor Wang released a total of six songs on Tengfei, and all six songs entered the top ten of the monthly new song download chart at the same time, occupying six seats in the top ten. This created the first record."
"At the same time, the top three songs were all sung by Professor Wang alone, pushing Li Qingyao, who originally occupied the first place, down to fifth place. This is also a record. One person dominates the top three. This is the second record!"
"Then, none of the songs Professor Wang released were released on the first day of the month. They were all released in the middle and late stages of the month. I believe the latest one was released. This created a record for the shortest time to achieve such data. This is the third record."
"Then, Professor Wang broke Liu Shengnan's new song's first-month single download record, which is the fourth record."
"Then, Professor Wang broke the monthly download record with four songs at the same time, directly pushing Liu Shengnan, who was originally ranked first on the record list, down to fifth place. This is the fifth record."
"It's not over yet! Professor Wang is the first singer to have his new song download exceed 30 million in the first month. This is the sixth record."
"It is expected that by the end of the month, Professor Wang will have four songs that simultaneously exceed 30 million. This will also create a new record, the seventh record."
"Do you think this is the end? You are too naive! Look, Professor Wang occupies six seats in the top ten, and the list is based on paid download data. Did you think of something?"
"That's right. The total download volume of Professor Wang's six songs combined exceeds 150 million, setting a record for the total number of song downloads for a singer in a single month. This is Professor Wang's eighth record."
"You think it's over? No, not yet!"
"Based on the Tengfei price of 50 cents per song, Professor Wang's income from six songs exceeded 75 million in a single month, setting a single-month record for singers' income from paid downloads. This is the ninth record."
"Of course, as Professor Wang is a new artist, the platform will take at least half of the money. And now there are still a few days until the end of the month. Given the quality of Professor Wang's songs and their current popularity, this data may rise a lot by the end of the month, raising this record again. If the subsequent data also maintains a high level, by the end of the year it may set a record for the highest number of downloads for a singer in a year, as well as the highest paid download revenue for a year, but this is not counted yet."
"Do you think it's over again? No, not yet!"
"Have you heard of Professor Wang before this month? No!"
"I have never heard of Professor Wang's name in the music industry before, nor have I heard his songs."
"So, this month is Professor Wang's debut month. Isn't it incredible? But it is the truth."
"Professor Wang officially debuted this month as an independent singer, and he created such a high number in his first month. This has set another record. Yes, it is the download record for a new singer's first month of debut. This record may never be broken. This is the tenth record created by Professor Wang this month."
"This is what I can think of for now. Professor Wang has created ten records in the Chinese pop music scene this month, symbolizing perfection!"
"Moreover, these ten records are all heavyweight records in the Chinese music scene. None of them are just trivial records. For example, a big-name star promoted a song a month in advance and created a record for first-day downloads, first-minute downloads, first-hour downloads, etc. These are all trivial and meaningless."
"Each of these nine records held by Professor Wang is a symbol of his strength and is of great value, enough to make Professor Wang a part of the history of Chinese pop music."
"Has this overturned your worldview? Have you just discovered how awesome Professor Wang is?"
"I have long said that Professor Wang is a groundbreaking singer."
"Please remember that this month is the first month of Professor Wang's debut! The Chinese music scene will use this month as a dividing line to mark a new era."
"He made the profession of singer professional again, he made popular singers return home empty-handed, and he made the word talent shine."
"I would like to call Professor Wang the most powerful newcomer in the history of Chinese music!"
…
This long Weibo post published by the self-media has been fermenting for some time, and now it has been liked and forwarded by more than 200,000 people. Many people have indeed found that their three views have been refreshed after reading this Weibo, especially their understanding of the Chinese music scene has changed.
Even Wang Qian felt as if he had learned something new after reading it carefully.
To sum it up in one sentence - Professor Wang, you are awesome!
After reading it, Wang Qian finally realized how amazing he was.
Moreover, it seems that the title of Professor Wang has become a daily routine among everyone
Many of the comments below express the same praise.
"After reading the blogger's long article, I realized that Professor Wang is so amazing? So, who is Professor Wang?"
"Professor Wang is the humble gentleman who occupies the top 16 seats on the Tengfei New Songs Chart. Because he was hired as a piano professor by three music colleges at the same time, everyone calls him Professor Wang. I also sighed, Professor Wang is so awesome? Why didn't I realize it?"
"This is amazing! In the first month of debut, he set ten records with great value. Is he still a human being?"
"My Shengnan was pulled out as a background again, but to be honest, Professor Wang is really amazing, and my Shengnan didn't deserve to lose. However, my Shengnan's single first-month download record was set several years ago, when Tengfei's user base was not as large as it is now. When our Shengnan releases a new song, he will definitely surpass Professor Wang and set a higher first-month download record for a new song."
"Li Qingyao is the one who is pitiful. Now her new single has exceeded 20 million downloads, which is the highest figure in the past two years. If it were any other month, she would have been the champion. Unfortunately, she met such an awesome Professor Wang this month, and she was beaten so badly that she could only rank fifth."
"It will be the end of the month in a few days. By then, with more than 20 million downloads, it will only be ranked fifth, and 30 million downloads will only be ranked fourth. The Chinese music scene this month is really horrible."
"I have been listening to Professor Wang's songs, which gave me pleasant surprises. Now I am waiting for Professor Wang's piano music. But I never thought that Professor Wang was so amazing. After reading the blogger's article, I realized that the Professor Wang I supported has become so terrifying."
…
In the face of these real data.
No one sang a different tune, at most they just clicked on it and avoided it.
Wang Qian himself also liked and reposted the post, but did not say anything.
He felt that the blogger was right about one thing he said.
The Chinese music scene really needs to usher in a new era.
The era of traffic!
It’s better to end it early.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The phone rang.
Wang Qian picked it up and took a look.
Is it Zhao Lei
Wang Qian picked up the phone curiously and answered it.
Zhao Lei said happily, "Brother Wang, I will call you Professor Wang from now on. You are really awesome. How did you do it? You were hired as a piano professor by three music colleges. Even Tengfei was scared and gave in. This is the first time I have seen Tengfei give in in all these years."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Director Zhao, you are too polite. Don't call me professor. Just call me Wang Qian. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. I have never been afraid of Tengfei. If Tengfei had real evidence to prove that I plagiarized, they would definitely not make concessions. So, it is their own fault that they are guilty."
Zhao Lei said with emotion, "That's right, Brother Wang. With your talent and ability, you are not afraid of any slander. This time, your popularity has soared, and our movie has also benefited from you. I received a call from the cinema chain, and the attendance rate of our movie has increased again this afternoon. If it can continue to maintain the same level tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we can request more screenings."
"Brother, I am grateful to you again. You are my lucky star!"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Don't thank me. This is also because of your keen eye, Director Zhao. The box office is so good. I congratulate Director Zhao in advance for successfully breaking the 100 million mark for his first movie. Congratulations!"
Zhao Lei laughed out loud: "Hahaha, brother, it's really nice to talk to you. The success of this movie is largely due to you, brother, so I have to say thank you. By the way, brother, didn't you graduate from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy? You have such a strong interest in music, so wouldn't your acting major be even more impressive? Are you interested in taking a film contract? I have already started preparing for my next movie. If we work together and combine our strengths, the box office of the next movie will definitely be a sure thing."
Zhao Lei became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen the box office of his next movie take off.
If this movie has already made over 100 million, then the next part has to make at least 500 million to be considered a success, right
If the box office reaches 500 million, Zhao Lei will be able to occupy a place in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
It makes me excited just thinking about it.
But.
Wang Qian smiled helplessly.
He was not so optimistic about Zhao Lei's future.
The box office success of this movie was largely accidental.
The movie itself isn't that engaging.
Up to now, the promotional points of the movie have been on him, the singer who sang the movie's interludes and theme songs, on the two songs, rather than on the plot of the movie itself and the leading actors.
This is already very problematic.
This shows that there is something wrong with the movie itself.
If Zhao Lei prepares for his next movie with the inflated mentality of having already achieved success, and still wants to follow the so-called successful experience of his first movie.
Then Wang Qian could already foresee the result.
However, Zhao Lei still has vision.
He knows that with Wang Qian's current popularity, his future development will definitely be strong. If the next movie completely uses Wang Qian as a selling point, it might really become a hit and there will be no need to worry about the box office!
This is still the popular thinking about traffic fresh meat!
Instead of focusing on the performance of the movie, they tried to capitalize on the popularity and traffic, thinking that they would be successful if they could trick people into going to the cinema first.
Word of mouth
Subsequent box office
We'll talk about it later...
If it flopped, it must be because the audience didn't know how to appreciate art.
Wang Qian didn't want to get involved, so he declined, "Hahaha, thank you Director Zhao for your respect and trust in me. Unfortunately, I may not have the time. I'm busy participating in the Voice of China program recently, and I'll be under a lot of pressure next time I'm on the show."
Zhao Lei: "This is not a conflict. The new project will be at least next year, and by then the Voice International Competition will be over."
Wang Qian still refused and said jokingly: "After participating in the Voice of China, I will officially debut. By then, I will definitely do something as a singer, such as releasing a new album, holding a concert, etc. I can't just finish The Voice of China as a singer and immediately run to the crew to be an actor, right?"
Zhao Lei also laughed: "Indeed, brother, you are right. You are a professional singer now. I didn't think it through. Let's wait until later. We can work together again if we have the opportunity and time. There will be plenty of opportunities."
Wang Qian: "Okay, I look forward to working with Director Zhao in the future."
Zhao Lei: "Then I won't say any more to you, brother. I still need to arrange publicity resources. When the box office officially exceeds 100 million, we will definitely hold a celebration party. You must come then, brother."
Wang Qian thought about it and said uncertainly: "It depends on the time. You know I'm very busy recently. If I don't have time that day, I can only say sorry. If I have time, I will definitely go."
Zhao Lei said in a helpless tone: "Well, I won't bother you, a busy man. Come when you have time. Contact me if you have anything else."
Wang Qian: "Okay, goodbye Director Zhao."
Hang up the phone.
Wang Qian shook his head slightly. He could predict Zhao Lei's future.
If the next movie continues the same pattern as this one, it is sure to flop.
Let’s put Zhao Lei’s matter aside.
Wang Qian continued browsing Weibo for a while.
Qin Xuerong also got up and took a shower, and finally put on a set of cartoon pajamas. She climbed on Wang Qian reluctantly for a while, and looked at Weibo with Wang Qian for a while. She smiled and said, "Now everyone is singing praises for you. In the face of your absolute strength and achievements, the haters can do nothing."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "There is still a way. They can just not help me promote and minimize my exposure. I have set so many records, but how many people are discussing this online? Right now, what people are talking about most is my piano and being a professor at three music colleges. Because, for now, they only know these."
Qin Xuerong thought about it and nodded: "Yes, I am wondering, considering your achievements, your exposure rate is too low. Are these people treating you coldly and trying to ban you secretly?"
Wang Qian shook his head: "It's not a ban, they can't completely ban me. I can always publish my works on so many platforms. They just don't want me to be too popular, they still want to sign me to help them make money."
Qin Xuerong: "With your strength and talent, unless you sign a top-notch superstar contract, you will suffer a loss. How about we open an entertainment company ourselves? I will be in charge of the company, and I will be the only one serving you. How about that? I know people in the entertainment industry, and I can also help you get some resources."
Wang Qian's mind moved, and then he shook his head: "Let's talk about it later, let's get this platform ready first!"
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "There is no conflict. Just register another entertainment group company and put Modong Network Company under the group company. Just like Tengfei, it belongs to the Southern Entertainment Group."
Wang Qian: "Don't be in a hurry, take small steps, and see if the platform can take off. At least we should not lose money!"
In fact, can one person support a platform
Wang Qian himself was not sure.
but.
There are only a few days left until the end of the month!
Wang Qian decided to wait and see after he finishes his cooperation with Tengfei this month.
Qin Xuerong kissed Wang Qian on the face, then stood up and walked out: "If you trust me, you can concentrate on your creation. I will help you take care of the logistics and provide you with perfect service. Now, I will go cook for you, my dear husband!"
Qin Xuerong still walked a little awkwardly, but she was in a good mood, and her whole body was filled with happiness.
Wang Qian said nothing. He watched Qin Xuerong leave and was caught by Murong Yue and teased.
"Xue'er, you guys have been busy all afternoon. Aren't you annoying?"
"roll!"
…
Wang Qian tapped on the computer and saw an email from the United States in North America in his mailbox.
Click to take a look.
All in English.
But he could understand.
These are two contracts!
One from Taylor of Curtis.
This is a copyright licensing agreement.
Taylor is about to perform in North America and wants to play three pieces by Wang Qian instead of the one piece, "Maiden's Prayer," that she had originally proposed.
The contract she sent was for purchasing one-time performance authorization for three songs at a time, priced at US$30,000, or US$10,000 per song. Considering that the commercial value of piano music is not as high as that of pop music, and Wang Qian's songs are not well-known, this price is not low.
There is another contract!
It was sent by Taylor's teacher, Professor Dawson of Curtis.
Teaching authorization!
Professor Dawson is a man of action. If he says he will teach Wang Qian's works in the college, he really will do it.
So, let’s go through the process of purchasing authorization from the original author Wang Qian for US$50,000 a year.
Wang Qian replied to the email: "Professor Dawson, Taylor, I agree to your cooperation authorization. I will send the contract to you after I print it out and sign it! Taylor, you can start preparing for your performance now. I look forward to your wonderful performance."
Click Send!
At this time, it is late at night in the United States.
So, Wang Qian did not get a reply.
In a moment!
Jiang Yu walked in quietly and asked Wang Qian about the piano.
Wang Qian got up and went to the piano room with Jiang Yu, and concentrated on explaining some of his piano skills and understanding to Jiang Yu in detail.
The two of them finished their piano teaching only when Qin Xuerong and Murong Yue had finished cooking.
Jiang Yu looked serious and said softly: "You are lying!"
Wang Qian was puzzled: "What lie did I tell?"
Jiang Yu stared at Wang Qian: "You said you have nothing to teach! You are lying."
Wang Qian was surprised: "I really feel like I have nothing to teach!"
Jiang Yu: "But you obviously have a lot to teach me. You are more than qualified to be a doctoral supervisor in our school. My doctoral supervisor is not as good as you."
Wang Qian smiled. He felt very comfortable being praised by Jiang Yu. "Oh, you are too kind, Jiang Yu! Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go out for dinner."
Jiang Yu followed Wang Qian out: "Do you have any other etudes? For example, the first etude, the second etude, the thirteenth etude?"
Wang Qian: "Not yet. I'll see what inspiration comes later. Actually, I remember some piano fragments in my mind, but I haven't organized them yet. I'll talk about it later."
Jiang Yu: "Then you can't tidy it up now?"
Wang Qian: “No!”
Jiang Yu stopped talking, quickly distanced himself from Wang Qian, walked to the dining table, sat down, and stopped talking, pouting.
Qin Xuerong and Murong Yue saw that Jiang Yu looked unhappy.
Qin Xuerong patted Wang Qian on the shoulder and said, "Don't make Jiang Jiang angry. Jiang Jiang has always been an angry person since she was a child. Be tolerant of her."
Wang Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I understand."
Jiang Yu glared at Qin Xuerong but still said nothing. He picked up his bowl and started eating.
Murong Yue said while eating: "Xiaoxue, your cooking skills have improved very quickly. It seems that you didn't put your heart into cooking for me, but you put your heart into cooking for Wang Qian. You forget your friends for the sake of beauty!"
Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.
Qin Xuerong blushed and picked up a piece of dark braised spareribs for Wang Qian, with a proud look on her face: "I am! Single dogs, don't talk. Just have something to eat."
Wang Qian just smiled embarrassedly!
The atmosphere became relaxed and joyful.
Wang Qian's life in Xihu City also became simpler.
Next, I will focus on preparing for next month’s live performance on The Voice of China.
The next morning, Wang Qian got up early and took Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, called He Fulin, and Zhao Wei who had hurriedly arrived earlier, to the rented recording studio, and recorded the three songs "To Xuerong", "March of the Magic City" and "Girl's Prayer", but did not upload them to the Tengfei platform. He saved them for later upload to his own platform after his new platform was launched.
Next!
Wang Qian then began to practice live performances with his band.
The data of his songs on the Tengfei website is still growing rapidly every day.
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed!
The end of the month is here.
The second episode of The Voice of China is about to be aired, and Chen Xiaowen will also be on stage soon.
Da da da!
Wang Qian finished a day's practice and returned to the villa. He and Qin Xuerong were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV together, while Wang Qian was holding a computer and reading the news.
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue were sitting on the sofa next to them.
Everyone is looking forward to the second episode.
After the program team’s promotion on the Internet for some time, everyone’s expectations are quite strong.
Everyone was very curious about Chen Xiaowen and wanted to see who was better between her performance and Wang Qian's.
Wang Qian turned on his computer and habitually looked at Tengfei's data first.
After nearly a week of accumulation!
The data from Wang Qian’s six songs are almost unbearable for those big companies to keep up with.
