Chapter 890: Three News

October 20, 2007, 10 a.m., Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zheng Xiao was reading a newspaper in her makeshift office.

He was reading a copy of the New York Times.

There are three news articles on New York Times today that are related to Zheng Xiao.

The first news related to him was about his Las Vegas concert. The news said that the Las Vegas concert of the new generation of world pop superstar Zheng Xiao has been carried out for the 9th time, and only 1 show is about to end.

To sum up, Zheng Xiao's series of concerts can be described with words such as dazzling and great success.

Of the 9 concerts that have been held, each of them is a sold-out, which doesn't seem like a big deal. But you must know that all the tickets for Zheng Xiao's Las Vegas concert were completely sold out within two days after the first concert, and it was difficult to find a ticket.

Fans from all over the world flock to Las Vegas outside the theater of the Planet Hollywood Hotel, hoping to get an unwanted ticket from someone else to get in and support their idol.

According to the statistics of the Las Vegas City Government, because of Zheng Xiao's Las Vegas concert, the city's passenger flow has risen rapidly, with an increase of more than 40%.

This has greatly benefited all walks of life in Las Vegas.

The biggest benefit is the Planet Hollywood Hotel, which has seen its turnover soar by more than 300% compared to the past. The owner, Tom Bird, told the media that the wisest decision he made in 2007 was to invite Zheng Xiao to hold a concert in his hotel.

Tom Bird also said that he has negotiated with Zheng Xiao and his agent many times, and he is eager to renew Zheng Xiao's contract, preferably to sign a pre-resident contract.

It's a pity that Zheng Xiao has no such intention.

The second news about Zheng Xiao is about the news of the entertainment program brand of The Voice.

New York Times reported that the first season of "The Voice of China" has ended, and during the holding of this crazy program, nearly half of the Chinese watched each episode, and its influence is comparable to that of the country's CCTV news broadcast.

And the fire of "The Voice of China" has also brought huge benefits.

It is known that the total proceeds are likely to exceed $100 million.

The copyright owner, Zheng Xiao's own company, Dinghong Times, earned more than $80 million.

In addition to the popularity in China, the entertainment brand "The Voice" has achieved great success in many countries around the world.

Take The Voice as an example, the first season of The Voice is now on the air, and this show also occupies the first place in the ratings of American TV programs, and the predictable revenue of the program is likely to exceed 200 million US dollars.

According to the copyright use agreement reached between the copyright company Dinghong Company and ABC Company, Dinghong Company will receive a commission of 20% of the net income.

The predictable net income of The Voice of America in the first quarter is likely to reach $150 million, which means that Dinghong can get $30 million in copyright royalties.

The New York Times calculated a copyright income account for "The Voice", believing that the show was expected to earn $70 million in 2007 based on copyright revenue alone.

The third news is about Zheng Xiao becoming a big hit at the Grammy Awards.

According to the news, Zheng Xiao has become one of the most popular winners of the 2008 Grammy Awards, and some predict that he will compete for the final award in 15 awards, including Best New Artist of the Year, Best Album, Best Record, Best Single, Best Male Pop Singer, Best Dance Music Record, and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Seven or eight of these fifteen awards can be said to be the essence of the Grammys.

Before, no Chinese singer has ever been so hot at the Grammys, the world's most heavyweight music awards, and so favored by people in the music industry.

Of course, being popular at the Grammy Awards is actually nothing, after all, if you want to win the final award, you still need to pass five levels and kill six generals, and PK with many excellent singers. After being shortlisted for the Grammys, you must first be nominated by the judges and enter the top five in each individual category, which is called the nomination award. After receiving the nomination award, there is another jury to determine the final award.

How many popular players have finally collapsed!

However, from this news, it is enough to see that this young superstar from China has gained huge popularity and influence in the United States.

The New York Times predicts that Zheng Xiao is likely to be the biggest dark horse at the 2007 Grammy Awards.

Zheng Xiao is most interested in the news about the Grammy Awards.

The Grammy is the highest award for music in the United States, known as the Oscar of the music industry, and it also has a high reputation and influence all over the world.

Of course, for a long time before this, this award was an award in the American music industry, and most of the awards were American musicians.

However, because the United States is the most powerful country in the world, and the cultural output is very strong, the Grammys have almost become the top award in the hearts of musicians all over the world.

A successful musician, especially in the English-speaking world, who does not win a Grammy, is generally seen as the biggest regret of his career.

There are not many Chinese who have won this award, and even fewer are of Chinese nationality.

According to information, in 1999, Chinese singer Hang Tianqi once won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for her contribution to Asian music.

But Zheng Xiao didn't know if this was true.

After all, as far as he knows, the Lifetime Achievement Award seems to be awarded to musicians in the music industry who have almost reached the stage of closing the coffin, and even MJ, in his previous life, received the Lifetime Achievement Award after his death.

In 1999, Hang Tianqi was only 33 years old, and he was still in the best period of his life, and he was still very early before the coffin was closed!

Isn't it funny to give her a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at this time?

In addition to Hang Tianqi, Zheng Xiao has seen information showing that there is also a Chinese national, Yang Jin Ram, who has won a Grammy Award.

Yang Kim Ram won the award for her participation in "Miho: JourneyToTheMountain" by Paul Winter in the United States, which won the award for Best New Century Album.

But at that time, Yang Jin Ram seemed to have married into Taiwan.

In short, after thinking about it, Zheng Xiao found that it is likely that no Chinese national has won a Grammy Award.

If he can win a few Grammy Awards this time, it can be regarded as setting a record.

It's just that the selection committee, which is dominated by Americans, votes for itself?

Sometimes, prejudice is so ingrained!

"Tuk, tuk, tuk!"

There was a soft knock on the door.

Zheng Xiao put down the newspaper and shouted, "Please come in!" ”

Daisy. Bryant pushed the door open and walked in, wearing a silver-gray professional skirt, looking very capable.

"Good morning, boss!" Daisy smiled and said hello.

"Sit down." Zheng Xiao let her go to the hospitality sofa.

"The company registration has been completed, this is a full set of registration information, please take a look at the boss." Daisy handed a thick file bag to Zheng Xiao.

"Okay, I'll see, you've worked hard."

Zheng Xiao took out the contents of the file bag and looked at it carefully.

This is the full set of registration documents for Lightning Technologies, which is registered in the Cayman Islands, and everything is in order.
