the following few days!

The European and American music scene, and even the entire entertainment industry, is in shock!
because!

The sales of Jiang Chen’s new song “We Will Rock You” on the music platform did not meet their expectations, but exceeded their expectations.

Sales on the first day exceeded 50 million, sales on three days exceeded 80 million, sales on five days exceeded 90 million, and weekly sales of over 100 million were almost certain.

The singers and music creators in the entire European and American music scene were shocked and at the same time, they were all jealous!
In just one week, hundreds of millions of dollars can be sold, and the share of the profits can be as much as 40 to 50 million US dollars.

This speed of making money has already surpassed any top superstar or big name in their circle.

Even the top male and female singers in the European and American music scene today have a total net worth of only a few billion dollars, and their annual income is only around 200 million US dollars. Their income from pure paid music sales is only tens of millions, which they have only earned through years of accumulation of song copyrights, and even more through concerts and commercial endorsements.

Therefore, even the current top male and female singers in the European and American music scene are not so keen on releasing new songs. They spend a lot of time and effort to release a song, and invest a lot of publicity resources, but in the end the sales of a song are only tens of millions a year. It would be better for them to just take on one or two more endorsements.

However, as a singer, releasing songs is a must. In order to maintain their image as the top singer in the music industry, they have to release a new song every year so that they can continue to make money from their image. But to maintain their high image, they have to invest a lot of publicity resources to maintain high sales.

Therefore, almost all the money invested in publicity and hype as well as song sales was invested, and in the end, it was not profitable at all!

Jiang Chen’s new song has sold over 90 million copies in just five days, and his sales in a week are almost over 100 million. This speed of making money is something every celebrity singer would be jealous of!

All of a sudden!

Many big-name singers who had not released any songs for a long time began to contact many creative teams, breaking down Jiang Chen’s song word by word and syllable by syllable, hoping to find the factors for its success and then copy them!
Don’t think that there is no plagiarism or copying in Europe and the United States!
Many people think that Europe and the United States attach great importance to intellectual property rights, so no one will copy or plagiarize, and everyone relies on their own abilities to create original works.

In fact, this is not the case at all!

Europe and the United States do attach great importance to intellectual property rights, but what others plagiarize is not real and cannot be defined legally. The lawsuit will take at least several years, which is time-consuming and laborious, and may end up in nothing and end with a settlement of a small amount of compensation.

The large number of homogenized online songs released every year is testimony to this.

At the same time, many people don’t know that there is a professional copycat plagiarism industry chain in the North American film and television circles.

Whenever a TV show or film becomes popular, does big at the box office, and has skyrocketing ratings, copies will come out within a few days, trying to cash in on the trend. If you sue them, they will just respond and argue.

This copycat industry chain is extremely mature, with an output value that is almost as high as that of Hollywood, and it also supports a large number of film and television professionals and capital.

In comparison, those copycat plagiarisms in China are just minor ones and not worth mentioning!
Many people in China have been angrily criticizing the Chinese film and television industry on the Internet for all kinds of dark plagiarism, but compared to the European and American film and television industries, it is really nothing!
On Saturday, when Jiang Chen came to the program group for rehearsal again, no one dared to be negligent or despise him anymore.

Haley and Oldman came out to greet them personally again.

Nakajima Sana, Diana, Rambo and other players also came to look at Jiang Chen, with envy, admiration and some jealousy in their eyes.

after all!

If they have such sales results, then they don’t have to care about the results of this World Championship.

Their cover songs have also been put on music platforms, but the best-selling ones are the classic old songs sung by Rambo and Milia, and the cumulative sales to date are only over 5 million.

The others’ sales ranged from over one million to three million.

This result is pretty much in line with their expectations. After all, they are all newcomers, and they are covering old songs, so the sales are at most a few million. This is only possible thanks to the huge popularity and publicity of the World Championship. Otherwise, if they released the songs quietly, no one would be interested. It would be a blessing if they could get sales of a few thousand or tens of thousands.

To achieve sales of millions or even tens of millions would have already met their best expectations.

Each of them can get half of it, which is already tens of millions of dollars in income.

but……

If you compare yourself to others, you will die!

Jiang Chen has earned tens of millions of dollars in just a few days.

The sales of the nine of them combined are less than half of Jiang Chen’s new song sales.

Especially since Rambo had been in contact with the North American music circle, he knew that a big-name singer offered 50 million US dollars to buy the full copyright of this song, but he never contacted Jiang Chen, so the matter was left unresolved.

A few days ago, someone mocked the big-name singer who asked for 50 million US dollars, saying that he was stupid and had a lot of money.

Now that the weekly sales are about to exceed 100 million, many mocking voices have disappeared, and everyone is secretly admiring the vision of that big-name singer.

If 50 million US dollars can really buy all the copyrights of this song, then the sales this week will be enough to break even, and there will be more money to be made in the future.

Based on this sales momentum, annual sales are expected to exceed 200 million US dollars, and in the future there may be a chance to create the highest single sales figure in the history of the music platform.

“Mr. Jiang Chen, welcome!”

Hailey greeted Jiang Chen as he entered the lounge.

In the past few days, the sound of Jiang Chen’s song has been heard everywhere in the world, and because of this song, the popularity and attention of the program team has once again reached a new level.

Public opinions on the Internet were all praising Jiang Chen. Many people said that they missed the wonderful live performance and expressed their desire to watch it live, or to watch the live broadcast at home!
This has caused the prices of tickets for the event to skyrocket online this week. The average price of second-hand tickets has risen to five thousand U.S. dollars, and the front row tickets have sold for tens of thousands of dollars, but tickets are still hard to come by. As soon as someone sells them, someone will immediately buy them.

This made Haley, Oldman and other people from the program crew and the capital team behind them regret selling the tickets too early. The tickets for the first three shows were sold out very early at the beginning, and they were secretly surprised. The outside world also praised them.

Now it seems……

They could only curse themselves for being so stupid.

If we were to sell tickets now, we could at least get twice the price.

At least hundreds of millions of dollars were lost on tickets for the two performances!
fine……

Only tickets for the first three games have been sold. Discussions on pricing for subsequent tickets have been suspended. The prices will be determined after the results of the first two games come out.

If the performance is excellent and the online public opinion is good, then the price will inevitably skyrocket.

Now Haley and Oldman can’t wait to worship Jiang Chen.

Therefore, Jiang Chen did not come to the production crew once this week, and the two of them did not urge him once, leaving everything to Jiang Chen to decide on his own.

Geniuses always get some special treatment.

Although everyone here is a genius, there are differences between geniuses!
Jiang Chen was obviously the different genius. Jiang Chen walked into the lounge and sat down, saying calmly, “I only need a few minutes. Can the stage spare some time?”

Oldman immediately said, “Of course, we knew you were coming, so we gave you half an hour. You can’t do anything you want.”

Jiang Chen shook his head: “No, a few minutes will be enough, we can just practice it once.”

Haley smiled and said, “Of course, you can do whatever you want. You can use the stage anytime you want!”

Jiang Chen smiled back: “Thank you!”

Oldman asked curiously, “Mr. Jiang Chen, is your first performance of this official competition still a new song?”

Jiang Chen nodded: “Of course, I’m not joking when I say this, I only sing my own songs!”

Oldman’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Haley, then asked, “Is that still a rock song?”

Jiang Chen nodded again: “Not bad, it’s still rock style! I came to North America to participate in the competition this time, just to perform in the form of a band, so the rock style is the most suitable.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing. He wanted to help them. They had been following him willingly, so he couldn’t let them down.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing all looked at Jiang Chen with gratitude. Their hearts were all on Jiang Chen.

They may never be able to leave Jiang Chen in this life.

Oldman said excitedly: “That’s great, the new song you performed last week was so popular, everyone is looking forward to your new song, and what we are most looking forward to is that you can continue with the rock style. Everyone will definitely be more excited when they know the news!”

Jiang Chen just smiled and said nothing.

However, Oldman said again: “Mr. Jiang Chen, last time we arranged for you to be the first to perform, which was a wrong choice. We are very sorry for this. We will move your performance time back a little tomorrow. But don’t worry, we will definitely not delay your rest time after get off work.”

Before, they were concerned about the relationship between Trins and Jiang Chen, so they didn’t dare to say anything about Jiang Chen’s style of doing things, but now they are willing to make arrangements for Jiang Chen, and even if Trins doesn’t say anything, they dare not neglect Jiang Chen.

Because Jiang Chen is now the biggest source of traffic for their program team!

A new song sold over 100 million copies in one week.

Billions of viewers around the world are waiting for Jiang Chen’s performance.

If they offended Jiang Chen and Jiang Chen didn’t come, their losses would be incalculable.

Jiang Chen nodded. He had no strict requirements on the performance time. As long as it didn’t delay his rest after get off work, he said casually, “Okay!”

Oldman: “That’s great. We won’t delay your rehearsal then.”

Jiang Chen nodded, then stood up and called Pu Yuexi and the other three to follow him to the stage for rehearsal.

Han Qing and Yan Ruyu also followed.

Han Qing walked beside Jiang Chen and said, “Jiang Chen, from yesterday to today, there are many more works imitating your new song! The names they chose are all imitations, such as “We Will Love You!” and “We Will Fuck You…”

Yan Ruyu also whispered, “The imitations here in America are even crazier. Many people here are paying attention to the popularity of the Internet. As long as people are paying attention to something, they will follow the trend. They are more professional than us! However, the songs they imitate are all shoddy and the sales are very average.”

Jiang Chen said calmly: “That’s enough for them to make money. As long as there is money to be made, they will continue to do it. There is no need to pay attention to this kind of thing, it’s meaningless!”

If Jiang Chen was a top superstar who was still famous in North America, these people would not be so blatant and direct in following suit. They might follow suit and imitate him implicitly at a later time.

but……

Jiang Chen is a newcomer from China and has no fan base in North America.

Then they will follow suit and imitate without any limit.

If it weren’t for the protection of the program team, someone might have already filed a lawsuit against Jiang Chen for plagiarism!
Yes!

This kind of anti-Tian Gang thing is not uncommon in the European and American entertainment circles.

In order to gain popularity and attract attention, some imitators will rush to sue the original version to gain attention, thereby attracting a large number of confused and curious audiences to download the film or go to the cinema to buy tickets, thereby making money.

A North American movie that was a global hit once suffered this kind of treatment. Behind it was one of the Hollywood giants, but they were unable to stop those who wanted to follow suit and make money. It was a big hit at the box office just one week after its release, and then imitative works came out and were quickly released. Before the production company had time to sue, it received a court summons suing the other party for plagiarism, which made the Hollywood giant production company look confused. Although the original creator definitely won the lawsuit in the end, the other party also made a lot of money, at least tens of millions of dollars more in profits.

Jiang Chen’s personality is already very indifferent. He doesn’t care about these imitators. The more you care, the more proud they are and the more money they make.

Haley, Oldman and others from the show were also aware of this situation, so they did not say anything against those imitators, as that would only allow them to earn more without them getting any benefits.

Several people walked out of the lounge and headed towards the stage.

Nakajima Sane and Diana greeted Jiang Chen again, and Jiang Chen nodded in response. Although he was not familiar with them, their attitudes were very good.

This time, the other contestants had no complaints or objections to Jiang Chen’s sudden appearance and request to use the stage.

Everything depends on performance and strength!
Moreover, they knew that Jiang Chen wouldn’t be around for long and wouldn’t delay their rehearsals at all.

really!

Just a few minutes.

Jiang Chen came out from the stage, picked up his things from the lounge and left.

In total, I stayed in the program crew for about ten minutes.

And tomorrow.

It’s time to perform again.

It is also the most important first official competition performance, which determines the fate of many contestants.

But Jiang Chen was still the same as last week, coming only once a week, rehearsing on the stage for a few minutes and then leaving!

“Can he replicate last week’s amazing performance?”

Several contestants and other program staff were very curious and looking forward to it. (End of this chapter)
