I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 298 297. Ninety million people online again! Is the value of Jiang Chen's work hyped up?
Jiang Chen's singing voice can be heard in almost every corner of the country.

Wherever there are people, there are almost always people watching Jiang Chen’s live broadcast...

"My fingertips have already formed calluses..."

"I still can't keep you by my side..."

"A broken string, no matter how much you practice..."

"You can't hear my feelings..."

"Your transformation is like a broken string..."

"No matter how hard I try, the sound is not right..."

"I can tell the changes in you..."

"I am silent, and you don't talk much..."

"There's something missing between us that we don't want to talk about..."

"Ouch…………"

"After smiling, my expression finally became a little sad..."

"Holding your hand..."

"Ask you, make sure before you go..."

The number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded 90 million.

Jiang Chen was still singing with full concentration, and that enchanting humming could be heard again.

Yan Ruyu, Li Wenjun and others beside him were all listening with fascination, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes that seemed to be able to melt water.

"I suddenly smiled in relief..."

"Laughter lingers halfway up the mountain..."

"Swaying in the wind..."

"I came to you and circled..."

"Your tears are falling..."

"You said you would remember my kindness..."

"I also curled up the corners of my mouth... and smiled..."

"Your beauty...has been given to someone..."

"If you keep chasing me, I won't go back..."

"I know the leaves that have left the tree..."

"The world on earth withers......"

……

The dense barrage of comments from more than 90 million people in the live broadcast room was extremely explosive, even more and more dense 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, with more than 100 million people and everyone sending barrages. No server could handle it all 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 it look more dense.

"It sounds good. Lao Jiang's song is so good. I beg you to upload it as soon as you finish singing it."

"Wow, Lao Jiang, the song you sang last time hasn't been uploaded yet."

"Lao Jiang, I beg you to go record songs tomorrow and upload all the songs you sang in the past two days, please..."

"Old Jiang, if you don't upload this song tonight, I won't be able to sleep."

"Old Jiang, you are not doing your job properly. Have you forgotten that you sang for us in the beginning?"

"By the way, who still remembers that Lao Jiang started out as a live streamer playing games? It's been a long time since I saw Lao Jiang fighting five people alone, I miss him so much."

"Old Jiang..."

……

At this time, Axel was also sitting in his hotel room watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast.

Or it can be said that he did not miss any of Jiang Chen’s live broadcasts in recent days and watched them all.

Looking at the explosive popularity of Jiang Chen's live broadcast room, Axel was extremely envious. If he could have so many people watching, he would definitely be the world's number one internet celebrity.

The top internet celebrities in Europe and America are far less popular than Jiang Chen.

However, many of China’s data are not recognized by the European and American markets.

Axel believed that if he posted the screenshot of Jiang Chen's live broadcast on Facebook, he would definitely be criticized for censoring the picture, and no one would believe the number of people online and the many large reward special effects.

"God, I can't believe that such a terrifying person appeared in China."

Axe whispered.

The agent next to him nodded and said, "We didn't pay attention to internet celebrities and anchors before, so we ignored him. However, his ability is so strong that even if we noticed him from the beginning, there is nothing we can do about him. His singing skills, musical talent and talent are all among the best in the world of music."

"Axel, you need to adjust your mindset. We may not be able to win the championship in China this time, and you will not be able to participate in the King of Singers World Championship as a champion."

Axe smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I knew that. When he performed for the first time, I knew that it was basically impossible for me to win the championship. His ability is really very, very strong. If possible, I even want to cooperate with him and let him help me write a song."

The agent asked curiously, "Do you want to sing Chinese songs?"

Axe nodded. "Why not? If I sing a Chinese song on the Huaxia show stage, it will definitely attract a lot of people to support me, right? You guys can also promote my personality of liking Huaxia off the stage. I think even if I can't win the championship, I can still attract a lot of fans and popularity in Huaxia. If the development in North America is not ideal in the future, I can come to Huaxia and make a lot of money."

Apparently, Axel is a man with some brains. After this cooperation with the Chinese variety show, he realized that making money here is much easier than in Europe and the United States. He envied those star singers in China who could make a lot of money easily.

They work very hard but can't make much money, and they will be eliminated if they are not careful.

Even if China's star singers cannot make it in the entertainment industry, they can still make it in the live streaming circle of internet celebrities and still make a lot of money, but their status will be downgraded. The speed at which they make money is no slower than in the entertainment industry.

However, in Europe and the United States, if you are eliminated from the entertainment industry, it is almost impossible to join the live streaming circle of internet celebrities, as the audiences there have higher requirements.

The trick of trying to trick people into giving you money by just acting cute in front of the camera and talking about sensitive topics is unlikely to work in Europe and the United States.

Seeing how easy it was to make money in China, Axel thought that since there was no hope of winning the championship, he would try to accumulate as much popularity in China as possible to leave a way out for the future.

If you are not successful in Europe and the United States, 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 really learn the language so that you can use it in the future."

Axel: "Then help me contact one!"

Agent: "Okay, I'll put you through the paces."

Axel: "Also, contact this Jiang Chen, I want to buy his songs."

After hearing this, the agent shook his head and said, "Don't waste your time and energy. This is impossible. If he was willing to sell songs, the Chinese entertainment industry would have already gone crazy for them. Since he started singing live, every song has become popular all over the Internet, and the sales of every song have been extremely explosive. The lowest sales are around 20 million US dollars, and the highest is more than 30 million US dollars! In just over a month, he has made 500 to 600 million US dollars from song sales!"

"Everyone wanted to buy his songs, but he never talked to anyone who wanted to buy his songs."

"Also, if he really sells songs, how will he set the price? The download sales of one of his songs exceed tens of millions of dollars. How much is appropriate? Are you willing to pay tens of millions of dollars for one of his songs?"

After hearing this, Axe was stunned for a moment, 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 only sell a song for a million dollars at most. After all, before a song is released, we don't know whether it will be popular."

“Even works by the best creative teams have examples of failure!”

The agent shrugged, "Yes, they can sell it for tens of millions of dollars if they sing it themselves. If they sell it to you, you can only offer a million dollars at most. If it were you, what would you choose?"

Axel was silent, then shook his head.

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 work can become a hit and become a best-selling song, making a lot of money.

What's more, none of the works released by Jiang Chen are ordinary, and all of them have the potential to become a big hit.

Akers took a deep breath and said, "He has sung English songs before. I hope he can perform on the world stage in the future. I wonder 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."

Axe wondered, "Why? If you participate in the World Championship, you will definitely become famous all over the world. The combined power of the major copyright holders is amazing. It almost includes the media and entertainment groups of several major countries in the world. Everyone who performs in the World Championship can appear in front of most people in the world."

“Who would turn down an opportunity like that?”

This is a huge opportunity and a fatal temptation for anyone who wants to become famous.

Who would say no?

Axel couldn't understand.

The agent smiled and said, "Do you think a billionaire would be interested in becoming famous?"

Axel was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He had forgotten how fast Jiang Chen made money and how much wealth it contained.

Indeed, at Jiang Chen's level, he can do whatever he wants.

Axel's eyes sparkled with envy.

If he had a fortune of tens of billions of dollars, he would not be a star and perform for others. He would watch others perform and comment on the performers.

Many of the most successful top stars in North America work behind the scenes, becoming bosses of media groups and controlling other celebrity artists!

Axe then asked, "Did he really give the audience a work worth $500 million? Was his work really worth $600 million?"

This is the biggest shock and question in Axe's heart in the past two days.

A work just created by a young artist who is still alive was actually bought by a top billionaire at an extremely high price of around 500 million US dollars?
Moreover, Jiang Chen gave this work to someone else?
Even the most generous tycoons in Europe and America are not so generous as to give away $500 million directly to others? No one would do such a thing.

It is hard to believe that some top wealthy people would give millions of dollars to passers-by as a show, and it is said that it was just a show effect and they did not really give it away. They took it back after the recording was over.

In the entire history of European and American literature and art, the greatest artists are not as great as him.

When the artist is still alive, the highest price a work of art can be sold for is around tens of millions of dollars. Only after death will the price skyrocket and be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Jiang Chen is only 30 years old and is still at the peak of his production. His freshly produced artworks can be sold for $500 million!
If this matter were to spread to Europe and the United States, no one would believe it.

Therefore, Axe was also skeptical. He suspected that Jiang Chen was putting on a show and that there was a large group of shareholders and businessmen who were cooperating with Jiang Chen to put on a show and hype up the value of Jiang Chen's works. Perhaps they were holding a large number of Jiang Chen's works and wanted to drive up the price and then find someone to take over the original works of Jiang Chen in their hands.

Aix was not from an ordinary family, and he knew how the antique art circle operated.

Moreover, this is a method used both in China and abroad.

The works of some artists that ordinary people have never heard of can suddenly be sold for hundreds of millions or even tens of millions. There must be a story behind it, a story about some people being sad and some being happy.

The agent was only Axe's temporary agent. He was a Chinese American who had studied traditional Chinese culture. So he said with some doubt and some certainty, "The artistic level of his works is absolutely beyond your imagination. If they are really sold, they should be worth a lot of money. But like you, I don't believe that his works can be sold at a sky-high price of $500 million."

“There are only a handful of artworks in the world that can be sold for $500 million, and they are all well-known!”

The agent is familiar with Chinese culture, so he knows that the ancient poems written by Jiang Chen are really good, and are in no way inferior to the masterpieces of several top writers in the Tang and Song dynasties. His calligraphy is also really amazing, and is not inferior to the top calligraphers in Chinese history.

but……

Throughout history, no matter how great an artist is, no matter how much recognition his or her works receive, their value cannot be very high while he or she is alive.

Because the greatest value of antique artworks is their uniqueness, I have them and you don’t!

Two top-notch artworks of the same quality exist in the world at the same time, each of them is a rare treasure. If each of them can be sold for tens of millions, then if one is broken and only one is left, then the only one in the world becomes a unique existence, and its value may soar several times or even ten times, which is much higher than the value of the two pieces together.

This is the core value of antique artworks, unique!

When an artist is still alive, there is a possibility that he or she will continue to produce, and perhaps even create better works. Therefore, collectors will adopt a wait-and-see attitude and will not pay too high a price to buy the works, even for their masterpieces. Who knows if 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 may even decrease with the passage of time. The masterpieces become unique and their value soars.

Jiang Chen is only thirty years old. He may write hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of works in the future, which may become a disaster.

Under normal circumstances, no one would pay a high price for Jiang Chen's works, even though each of Jiang Chen's works is not inferior to the top poetry and calligraphy works in history in terms of artistic achievement.

Both Akers and his agent had doubts in their minds and felt that hype was more likely.

Jiang Chen is still young and will produce a lot of works in the future. He may have already teamed up with top art dealers to promote his works.

In this way, not only can the works be sold at high prices, but Jiang Chen's status in the art field will also increase rapidly.

Every top artist in Europe and America cannot do without this routine.

Without the cooperation and packaging of art dealers, no matter how great an artist’s skills and artistic talent are, he or she will never be able to succeed.

Because this is a market monopolized by art dealers.

……

And this time!
Jiang Chen's singing gradually disappeared, but the guitar was still playing slowly.

More than 90 million people in the live broadcast room were still watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast.
