Chapter 298 297. Ninety million people are online again! Is the value of Jiang Chen's works created by speculation?
Jiang Chen's singing can be heard in almost all parts of the country.
Wherever there are people, there are almost always people watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast...
"My fingertips have popped out of cocoons..."
"I still can't keep you by my side..."
"No matter how you practice with a broken string..."
"You can no longer hear my feelings..."
"Your transformation is like a broken string..."
"No matter how hard I answer, the sound is wrong..."
"I can tell your changes..."
"I am silent and you don't say much..."
"There is nothing missing between us..."
"Ouch..."
"After smiling, my expression finally turned a little sad..."
"Hold your hand..."
"Ask you, make sure before leaving..."
The number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded 90 million.
Jiang Chen was still singing attentively, and the mesmerizing humming came again.
Yan Ruyu, Li Wenjun and others next to them all had faces full of fascination, and their eyes looked like they could turn water into water when they looked at Jiang Chen.
"I suddenly smiled with relief..."
"Laughter hovering halfway up the mountain..."
"Swaying and swaying with the wind..."
"Come around in front of you..."
"Your tears are falling down..."
"Said he would remember me well..."
"I also curled up the corners of my mouth...smiling..."
"Your beauty...has been given to someone..."
"If you chase me again and again, why don't you come back..."
"I understand the leaves that leave the tree..."
"The world that belongs to the earth withers..."
……
The dense barrage of more than 90 million people in the live broadcast room was extremely explosive. There were more and more intensive than the last time when more than 100 million people were online for the lottery.
Because there were too many barrages in the last lottery. More than 100 million people each posted barrages. No server could bear it at the same time, so they were diverted by the server.
Now, there are far fewer people posting barrages than during the lottery, so most of them are displayed at the same time, making them look more dense.
"It's nice. Lao Jiang's song is so nice. I beg you to upload it as soon as you finish singing it."
"Uuuuuuu, Lao Jiang, the song you sang last time hasn't been uploaded yet."
"Lao Jiang, I beg you to record songs tomorrow and upload all the songs you have sung in the past two days. Please..."
"Lao Jiang, if you don't upload this song tonight, I won't be able to sleep."
"Lao Jiang, you are no longer doing your job. Have you forgotten that you sang for us from the beginning?"
"By the way, who still remembers that Lao Jiang played live games in the first place? It's been a long time since I saw Lao Jiang's one-on-one errands. I miss him so much."
"Lao Jiang......"
……
Akers was also sitting in his hotel room watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast.
In other words, he has not missed any of Jiang Chen's live broadcasts in the past few days and has watched them all.
Seeing the explosive popularity of Jiang Chen's live broadcast, Akers was extremely envious. If he could be watched by so many people, he would definitely be the number one Internet celebrity in the world.
The top Internet celebrities in Europe and the United States are far less popular than Jiang Chen.
However, many of China’s data are not recognized by the European and American markets.
Akers believed that if he posted screenshots of Jiang Chen's live broadcast on Facebook, he would definitely be criticized for being the one who approved the pictures. No one would believe the number of people online and the many large rewards for the special effects.
"God, I can't believe that such a terrifying person appeared in China."
Ax whispered.
The agent next to him nodded: "We haven't paid attention to Internet celebrities and anchors before, so we ignored him. However, he is so strong, even if we noticed him from the beginning, there is no good way to meet him. His singing skills, musical talent and talent are among the best in the world of music.”
"Akers, you have to adjust your mentality. We may not be able to win the championship in China this time, and you will not be able to use your status as a champion to participate in the possible Singer World Championship."
Akers smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I know. When he performed for the first time, I knew that it was basically impossible for me to win the championship. His strength is really, very strong. If he could, I even wanted to work with him on a song."
The manager asked curiously: "Do you want to sing Chinese songs?"
Akers nodded: "Why not? Singing a Chinese song on the Chinese stage will definitely make many people support me, right? You can run and hype it outside the field. I like Huaxia's character. I think even if I can't win the championship , it can also attract a large number of fans and popularity in China. If the development in North America is not ideal in the future, I can still make a lot of money in China.”
Akers is obviously a smart person. After this cooperation with Chinese variety shows, he knows that it is much easier to make money here than in Europe and the United States. He is very envious of these star singers in China who can make money casually. Big money.
They work hard but can't make much money, and if they don't pay attention, they will be eliminated.
As for China's star singers, even if they can't make it in the entertainment industry, they can still make it in the Internet celebrity live broadcast circle. They can still make a lot of money, but their status has dropped a level, and the speed of making money is no worse than in the entertainment industry.
However, in Europe and the United States, if you are eliminated by the entertainment industry, it is almost impossible to join the live broadcast circle of Internet celebrities. The audiences there are more demanding.
The routine of casually acting cute in front of the camera and talking about sensitive topics in order to trick the enemy into giving him a reward is very difficult to achieve in Europe and the United States.
Seeing that it was so easy to make money in China, Akers wanted to accumulate as much popularity in China as possible and leave a way out for the future when there was no hope of winning the championship.
If development in Europe and the United States fails, you can still come to China to make a living. The agent also agrees with this: "Then you should first find a professional Chinese language teacher and truly learn the language so that you can use it in the future."
Akers: "Then please help me contact one!"
Agent: "Okay, I'll practice with you."
Akers: "Also, contact this Jiang Chen, I want to buy his songs."
After hearing this, the manager shook his head slightly and said: "No need to waste time and energy, this is impossible. If he was willing to sell songs, he would have been crazy about it by the Chinese entertainment industry. Since he sang live, every song has become a hit The sales of every song on the entire network are extremely explosive. The lowest sales are about 20 million US dollars, and the highest sales are more than 30 million US dollars! In just over a month, he has transferred 5.6 billion US dollars based on the sales of his songs! ! ”
"Everyone wants to buy his songs, but he never talks to anyone who wants to buy them."
"And if he really sells songs, how will the price be determined? The download sales of one of his songs exceed 10 million US dollars. How much is the right price? Are you willing to pay 10 million US dollars for one of his songs?"
Akers was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then shook his head: "Impossible, no one in the world can sell a song for this price. The top creative team in North America can sell a song for up to one million US dollars." . After all, you don’t know if a song will be popular before it is released.”
"Even the works of the top creative teams have examples of failure!"
The manager shrugged: "Yes, I can sell tens of millions of dollars if I sing by myself. If I sell it to you, you can only offer a million dollars at most. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Akers was silent, then shook his head.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
He knew that if he had such talent, he would definitely choose to release every song himself.
With Jiang Chen's terrifying popularity and reputation, even a relatively ordinary piece of music can become popular, become a best-selling hit, and make a lot of money.
What's more, all the works released by Jiang Chen are not ordinary, they all have the potential to become popular.
Akers took a deep breath: "He has sung English songs before. I hope he can perform on the world stage in the future. I don't know if he will continue to sing English songs."
The agent shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he refuses to participate in the World Championship."
Akers wondered: "Why? If you participate in the World Championship, you will definitely be popular all over the world. The combined energy of the major copyright holders is amazing, and almost includes the media and entertainment groups of several major countries in the world. It is possible to participate in the World Championship Everyone on the show was in front of most of the world.”
"Who would turn down such an opportunity?"
This is a huge opportunity for everyone who wants to be popular, and it has a fatal temptation.
Who would say no?
Akers couldn't understand.
The agent smiled and said, "Do you think a billionaire would be interested in becoming famous?"
Ax was stunned for a moment, then understood. He had forgotten how quickly Jiang Chen made money and the wealth he contained.
Indeed, at Jiang Chen's level, he can do whatever he wants.
Envy flashed in Ax's eyes.
If he had a fortune of tens of billions of dollars, he wouldn't do celebrity performances for others to see. He would watch others perform and comment on the performers.
Many successful and top celebrities in North America work behind the scenes and become media group bosses to control other celebrities!
Akers then asked: "Really gave the audience a work worth 500 million U.S. dollars? Are his works really worth 600 million U.S. dollars?"
This is the biggest shock and question in Akers' mind these past two days.
A young artist who is still alive has a work he just wrote that was bought by a top rich man for a super high price of about US$500 million?
Moreover, Jiang Chen also gave this work to others?
The most generous wealthy people in Europe and the United States are not so generous. They directly give others 500 million US dollars? Absolutely no one does this.
It is unbelievable that some top rich people gave away millions of dollars to passers-by as a show, and it is said that it was just a show effect, there was no real gift at all, and they got it back after the recording.
In the entire history of European and American literature and art, the most outstanding artists are not so awesome.
When you are still alive, the highest price that an artwork can sell for is about ten million dollars. After you die, the price will skyrocket, and it will sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.
And Jiang Chen is only thirty years old, and he is still at the peak of his output. His freshly minted works of art can sell for US$500 million!
If this matter were spread to Europe and the United States, no one would believe it.
Therefore, Akers is also skeptical. He suspects that Jiang Chen is putting on a show. He suspects that a large group of shareholders and businessmen are cooperating with Jiang Chen to put on a show and hype the value of Jiang Chen's works. Maybe they have a large number of Jiang Chen's works in their hands and want to raise the price. Build up the hype, and then find someone to take over Jiang Chen's authentic work in their hands.
Akers is not from an ordinary family, and he knows the operating methods of this antique art circle.
Moreover, this is also a method used by both China and foreign countries.
Some artists' works that ordinary people have never heard of can suddenly sell millions or tens of millions. There must be a story behind it, a story where some people are sad and some are happy.
The agent is only Akers' temporary agent. He is a Chinese-American and has studied orthodox Chinese culture, so he said with some doubts and some certainty: "The artistic level of his works is absolutely beyond your imagination. . If it is really sold, it should be worth a lot of money, but like you, I don’t believe that his work can sell for a sky-high price of 500 million US dollars.”
"There are only a handful of works of art in the world that can sell for astronomical prices of US$500 million, and they all have names!"
The agent is familiar with Chinese culture, so he knows that the ancient poems written by Jiang Chen are really good. They are no worse than the masterpieces of several top writers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. His calligraphy is also really awesome, and he is also not inferior to the top writers in Chinese history. calligrapher.
But...
At all times and in all countries, no matter how great an artist is, no matter how much recognition his works receive, the value cannot be too high while he is alive.
Because the greatest value of antique art is its uniqueness, I have it but you don’t have it!
Two top-level works of art of the same quality exist in the world at the same time. Each one is a rare treasure. If each piece can be sold for tens of millions, then if one is broken and only one remains, then what will happen to the world? The only one piece becomes a unique existence, and its value may soar several times or even ten times, which is much higher than the value of two pieces together.
This is the core value of antique art, it is unique!
While the artist is still alive, there is the possibility of continuous output, and perhaps even better works, so collectors will take a wait-and-see attitude and will not pay too high a price to buy works, even if they are masterpieces. You won’t give too high a price. Who knows whether you will create another masterpiece of the same level the next day?
However, when an artist dies, there is no need to worry about this problem. The number of works is fixed and will even become less and less as time goes by. Peak masterpieces have become unique existences and their values have soared.
Jiang Chen is only thirty years old, and he may write hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of works in the future, which may become a flood.
Under normal circumstances, no one would pay high prices for Jiang Chen's works, even if each of Jiang Chen's works is not inferior to the top poetry and calligraphy works in history in terms of artistic achievements.
Both Akers and his agent had doubts in their minds, feeling that hype was more likely.
Jiang Chen is still young and can produce many works in the future. He may have already joined forces with top art dealers to promote his works.
Not only will his works be sold at high prices, but Jiang Chen's status in the art field will also rise rapidly.
Every top artist in Europe and America cannot do without this routine.
Without the cooperation of art dealers in packaging, no artist, no matter how good their skills and art are, would be able to get ahead.
Because this is a market monopolized by art dealers.
……
And this time!
Jiang Chen's singing also gradually disappeared, but the guitar was still playing slowly.
More than 90 million people in the live broadcast room are still watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast.
