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

Chapter 303 302. I can’t even handle the donuts, it’s too dangerous!

World Championship?
Jiang Chen nodded slightly. He still remembered hearing Guo Haitao say this once. He glanced at Guo Haitao and motioned for him to continue.

Han Qing, Yan Ruyu and others also looked at Guo Haitao.

Guo Haitao felt a slight pressure.

Because Jiang Chen is an essential part of their world championship plan.

The Chinese copyright holder agreed to hold the World Championship and agreed to the profit distribution method of the World Championship because they had strong confidence in Jiang Chen.

Therefore, they must invite Jiang Chen to participate in the World Championship, otherwise their efforts will be in vain.

Sending other people to participate in the World Championship is just to deliver food.

Guo Haitao continued, "We, the major copyright holders, have all agreed to hold the World Championship. The contestants of the World Championship are the champions of the ten major regions. The ten champions will compete again in the World Championship to be the final champion, and will be called the World Singing King."

"This World Championship will be held in North America!"

Jiang Chen asked curiously: "Which ten divisions are they?"

Others had also put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another. All pairs of good-looking faces and eyes were looking towards Guo Haitao, which made Guo Haitao feel a little pressured.

However, he didn't dare to look at other people.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone here. Some of them he didn't dare to offend because of Jiang Chen, such as Han Qing and Pu Yuexi.

There are also some who are just pure, and he dare not provoke them at all, such as Yan Ruyu, Li Wenjun, Wang Fei, Qin Xuerong, and Sophia.

Therefore, Guo Haitao looked at Jiang Chen without blinking and replied: "There are three major regions in Asia, China, the island country, and the Korean region! There are four major regions in Europe, England, France, Germany, and the polar bears. There are also three major regions in Australia, and the North American and South American regions in America."

"At present, we and the island country division are making the fastest progress. We are almost at the finals and will soon decide who will be the best singer in our division. The other divisions are slower, but they are expected to be finished within two or three months. Then the world competition will start directly, and the best singers in the top ten divisions will go to North America to participate in the world singing competition."

“This is an honor for the singer.”

Guo Haitao also wanted to try to use vain words such as glory to trick Jiang Chen into participating in the world competition.

However, Jiang Chen shook his head gently and said, "The Chinese New Year will be here in two months, and I may not have time. The World Championship will probably last a long time, and I don't want to spend the Chinese New Year abroad."

Guo Haitao's eyes flickered.

He couldn't refute Jiang Chen's reasons.

After all, Jiang Chen wanted to go home and celebrate the New Year with his family, so what did he say?
Guo Haitao was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe it will be held after the New Year. Two regions have just started their singing competitions, and it may take two or three months to finish. By then, the Spring Festival will be over, and you will have time to participate in the World Championships."

Jiang Chen still shook his head and said, "I don't want to go that far. I heard that North America is not very peaceful either."

The pet donut couldn't stand the torture and eventually died.

Guo Haitao hurriedly smiled and said, "The unrest over there is relative to most ordinary people. For the World Championship program team, it is absolutely impossible to encounter any mess. The security force is absolutely guaranteed. The contestants participating in the World Championship are all the singing kings in each competition area. They are watched by the whole world. No party will allow any mistakes or accidents to happen in such a world-renowned event."

"So, you don't have to worry about safety at all."

Jiang Chen nodded to show that he understood, but he still didn't want to go. He said honestly: "I still think it's too far. Some people like to go abroad, but I don't like it very much. I haven't even finished watching China."

Guo Haitao hastily assured him again, "It's not too far, and you can come back at other times except for competitions. You only have to be there when you participate in competitions and performances. Moreover, we are absolutely sincere this time, and we have a true partnership with you. If you win the championship, you will participate in the competition as the champion of the Chinese Division, and we will increase your salary according to your ranking, and share our total income."

"Because the final distribution of the benefits of this world competition is based on the ranking of the players in each region! The first place winner of the World Singing King will take 30% of the total income, and 30% of all subsequent income! The second place winner will take 20% of the total income, and 20% of all subsequent income, and the third place winner will take 10%."

"The seven people after the third place will share the remaining income equally."

"Therefore, the competition for the top three places is extremely fierce. It also requires all major regions to stop cheating and select the strongest players to enter the World Championship as much as possible, making the competition in the World Championship more intense than ever before."

"After this rule was finalized, all the regions that hadn't finished the competition were frantically adjusting and inviting the truly talented contestants to compete in the competition, hoping to send the top talented singers to the world competition."

The first place winner will directly take away 30% of the total revenue, which will definitely drive all copyright holders in all competition areas crazy.

The second place’s 20% of the total income is not low, and the third place’s 10% of the total income can only be considered as breaking even.

Because there are ten major copyright holders, if the income is distributed equally, each copyright holder will take 10%.

So, the third place is to protect capital.

The first and second place winners win.

The seven major copyright holders behind it suffered losses.

The top three took 60% of the total revenue, and the remaining seven copyright holders could only share 40% of the revenue equally, with each taking only about 5.5%.

Previous rumors about dividing income completely according to rankings were strongly opposed by the weaker regions because the income gap between the last few places was too large.

Therefore, after discussion and weighing of pros and cons, it was finally decided that the remaining seven regions would share the remaining income equally, so that no one would have any complaints.

The top three will take the lion's share, making the competition more exciting and intense, and able to bring out their strongest strengths, making the show better and more interesting, attracting more viewers from all over the world to watch. The pie will then become bigger, and everyone will be able to share more benefits.

However, each copyright holder is eyeing the top two, with the first place earning more than five times the income of the second and third place winners.

When converted into numbers, it may be the difference between 10 million US dollars and more than 50 million US dollars, or the difference between 100 million US dollars and more than 500 million US dollars. This difference will make everyone crazy.

Several major copyright holders predict that final revenue could be over one billion US dollars.

Because this is an unprecedented world pop music event, and it is also the first time that the top ten copyright holders have worked together to produce a program, which will attract a large number of viewers around the world and will be broadcast live simultaneously on the top ten copyright holders.

The Chinese copyright holders did not agree with this distribution plan at first, because there were no talented singers in the Chinese pop music circle. If they went there, they would definitely not be able to compete for the top three places. They could only become supporting roles and share the last 40% of the profits. Although it was not bad, if they insisted on sharing it equally, they could take 10% of the income.

However, Jiang Chen's increasingly strong performance gave confidence to the Chinese copyright holders, so they gradually agreed to this distribution plan.

Guo Haitao continued: "If you can win the championship in the end, we are willing to give you 30% of the income. We, the copyright holder, will take 70% of the total income. If you are the second place, you will take 20% of the income. If you are the third place, you will take 10% of the income."

"There is no point in competing for the rankings after fourth place. You will be given 5% of the total revenue."

After Guo Haitao finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen seriously and said, "According to the copyright holder's estimate, the total revenue of the final world competition will not be less than one billion US dollars, and may even reach more than two billion US dollars. If you can win the championship, we can get a total revenue of 600 million US dollars. You will get 30%, which is 180 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 billion Chinese yuan."

This profit-sharing model is absolutely a sky-high price for other celebrities. Apart from Jiang Chen, other singers and celebrities, even if they are superstars, are not eligible to ask for profit sharing from the copyright holders. They can only get a fixed remuneration. After all the competitions, it would be good to get tens of millions of Chinese yuan, which is about 10 million US dollars, far lower than Jiang Chen's lowest share.

Only with Jiang Chen are they willing to offer a profit-sharing agreement, and it is a tiered profit-sharing agreement. In the best case, Jiang Chen can take away a reward of more than 1 billion Chinese yuan.

Many big-name singers and stars cannot earn so much money in their entire lives.

However, Guo Haitao could not see any joy or expectation in Jiang Chen's eyes, and it was obvious that he had no desire for the share of the income.

When he thought about the fact that Jiang Chen earned more than 1 billion from a live broadcast and an authentic work of his was sold for 3.6 billion, he realized that money meant nothing to Jiang Chen.

Then, he added: "The most important thing is that you can prove to everyone in the world the strength of Chinese musicians! I think that with your strength and talent, you will definitely surprise and shock audiences around the world."

When Jiang Chen heard this, a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.

He has obtained so many excellent works from parallel worlds, and the only motivation for him to continue live streaming and appearing on shows to release his works after earning so much money is that he does not want to bury these works and wants more people to see and hear them.

The World Championship is obviously a global stage that can be seen and heard by people all over the world.

Jiang Chen took some action, but still had some concerns.

It's still the same reason.

He has never been abroad, and North America is too far away. In addition, the relationship between North America and China has not been so harmonious in recent years, so he still doesn't want to go.

Therefore, Jiang Chen did not agree to Guo Haitao's request and said softly, "I'll think about it and we'll talk about it later."

Guo Haitao felt helpless.

Giving Jiang Chen 30% of the income is already a big concession.

After all, the copyright holder has to share the share with others instead of just keeping it all to himself. The benefits received by all parties are not as much as Jiang Chen alone.

Therefore, the copyright holder's agreement to give Jiang Chen 30% of the income was already a huge concession.

but……

This is on the premise of winning the championship.

Winning the championship will bring them the biggest income, so they are willing to give Jiang Chen a little more.

only!

Jiang Chen really has no interest in money.

Guo Haitao also knew that he couldn't be too hasty in getting along with Jiang Chen, otherwise if he provoked Jiang Chen's disgust, and Jiang Chen simply refused to discuss cooperation with him in the World Championship afterwards, the loss would be huge.

If other players were allowed to participate in the World Championship, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be in the top three, and they could only sit and wait to get the smallest share of the income.

If they let Jiang Chen go, they still have a glimmer of hope, hoping that he can win the championship and get the biggest piece of the cake.

Guo Haitao did not try to persuade him any more. After all, the competition in this division had not ended yet and Jiang Chen had basically secured the championship. He would discuss and contact Jiang Chen slowly later.

"Well, Jiang Chen, please think about it carefully. I can't bear to see your musical talent shine only in China. I think you will be able to shock and surprise audiences all over the world in the world competition, and make audiences all over the world like your work."

Guo Haitao said to Jiang Chen encouragingly: "I look forward to the time when you stand on the world stage and prove yourself to the world."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with intention again, but he still didn't make a decision immediately.

Anyway, it will only start in two or three months.

After Guo Haitao finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye. He smiled and waved goodbye to Han Qing, Yan Ruyu and others, and then quickly left Jiang Chen's room.

Jiang Chen came to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view of the capital of southern Hunan Province.

Han Qing did not start the live broadcast again, wanting Jiang Chen to take a break today.

Li Wenjun, Wang Fei, Sophia, Qin Xuerong, Pu Yuexi and others also said goodbye to Jiang Chen one after another. They didn't want to stay in Jiang Chen's room any longer. They all saw that Jiang Chen was a little tired today and didn't want to disturb Jiang Chen's rest.

Jiang Chen smiled and waved to them, then watched them leave.

In the end, only Han Qing and Yan Ruyu, Jiang Chen's assistants, were left.

Han Qing said, "If you don't want to go, forget it. North America is indeed too far away, and it's not as safe as here. Even donuts can't resist it."

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, but just blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Chen, feeling that Jiang Chen was handsome no matter what.

Jiang Chen said nothing.

Han Qing continued, "However, there are some problems with the distribution method that Director Guo mentioned. If you win the championship, you will only be given 30%, which is too little. If you win the championship, you are the biggest contributor, and you should get at least 50%."

Jiang Chen smiled and didn't continue talking about the World Championship. He said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's start preparing for the weekend performance tomorrow."

Han Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll inform Xiaojia and Yuexi later and prepare to start rehearsals tomorrow."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Yan Ruyu said softly, "Jiang Chen, Sichuan University will send someone over to take Linjiangxian away soon. Do you want to give it to them?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Give it to me, I can't be left out."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Indeed, no one can be left out this time. We have to collect them all. I'll send them downstairs later."

After saying that, Yan Ruyu and Han Qing also said goodbye and left Jiang Chen's room.

Jiang Chen didn't think too much about the mess. He emptied his mind and practiced two sets of Tai Chi in the living room. He felt his breathing became smoother and his body felt more relaxed. Then he started to wash up and prepare for bed.

Nothing else is as important as sleeping.
