Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

After Link spoke out through Twitter, everything went as Mr. Merida expected. The number of articles in the media and on the Internet about Link's reliance on hype to become famous dropped sharply.

The reason is that Link's halo is too bright, and those titles are extremely valuable. A person as powerful as him can completely withstand the hype. No matter how much the media promotes him, it seems that it is not too much.

Those who attacked him couldn't find an example to refute, so they could only change the topic and change the direction of attack to music.

He said he couldn't rap and was beaten down by East Coast rappers on the rap charts. When he originally proposed to enter the rap field and compete with East Coast rappers for the championship, it now seems more like a joke.

The music magazine "The Source" ridiculed Link, saying that he entered the field of rap with a "bang" but left "quietly", leaving only a group of East Coast rappers who could not find any rivals. Link said that Link relied on his "brilliant skills" Tactics' wins.

The mockery reached its peak when Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" topped the Billboard singles chart for a fourth consecutive week.

At this time, on a program planned by ABC TV station to commemorate MJ, Link and Wiz Khalifa were special guests and jointly sang his second rap single "See You Again".

It was a Saturday, and the ratings for the first half of the show were around 20 million households. During the segment where Link and Wiz Khalifa performed on stage, the highest ratings exceeded 26 million households.

As soon as "See You Again" was released, it immediately became popular all over the Internet.

The video of the two singing together on YouTube has been viewed more than 12 million times in two days. Just because the video title says "In Memory of MJ", many people clicked on it without thinking.

After the show aired, Link also tweeted "See You Again."

It was stated that it was created in memory of MJ, and at the same time, it was stated that the singer would share all the royalties from this song, 50% of which would be donated to the MJ Charitable Foundation, and 50% to the International Red Cross Society to support out-of-school children.

The official accounts of the MJ Charitable Foundation, MJ Fan Club, and the International Red Cross all retweeted Link's tweets to express their gratitude.

Link Music has also released the studio version of "See You Again" on major digital music platforms.

On the first day of release, digital downloads reached 2.056 million copies, easily topping the download charts of major music stores, and breaking the single-day playback and download records of streaming media sites such as iTunes, Amazon Music Store, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Professionals in the music industry also speak highly of this song, describing it as 'the best mourning song' and 'the most moving' song.

A few days after the song was released, a large number of MJ fans gathered in Los Angeles, New York, London and other places, with the number reaching hundreds of thousands.

Fans sang "See You Again" in front of the MJ statue to commemorate the recently deceased MJ, as if they were conducting a pilgrimage and venting their emotions.

When Link saw the news on TV, he was a little shocked. He had heard that after the song was released, it was sought after by Paul Walker fans, and many memorial ceremonies were held. The news said that the scale was not large, only Thousands of people.

After the commemoration object was changed to MJ, the impact expanded more than ten times, directly evolving into a large parade and becoming social and international news.

These things were far beyond his expectations and he didn't know how to deal with them.

"Hey! Link, how can you write such a good song? See You Again is great."

Paul Walker called and said excitedly.

Link's expression was stiff for a few seconds, then he smiled and said, "Do you like See You Again?"

"I don't just like it, I really like it. I listen to it every day now, more than 100 times. It is the best song I have ever heard. It is now my mobile phone ringtone."

Paul Walker laughed.

"As long as you like it!"

Link smiled softly, and then asked about Paul Walker's filming, asked him when he would return to Los Angeles, and asked him to race together. Whoever loses is not allowed to drink for a year.

In the first week of its release, "See You Again" sold 5.458 million copies online, once again breaking the single-week download records on major digital music platforms and raising the record to a desperate height.

It also set a YouTube single-week playback record with 87.27 million views.

It was played 560 million times on major radio stations in one week, also setting a new record.

At the same time, "See You Again" topped the Billboard singles chart, ending its four consecutive reigns with more than 60 times more data than "Empire State of Mind".

Also because this song is so popular, it directly drives the ranking of Link's other songs.

"Believer" re-entered the top ten on the Billboard singles chart, ranking at number five.

Songs such as "Give me reason", "Trouble I'm In", "Keep On Movin'", "This Is Me", "I'm The One", "Unstoppable", and "Never say never" are on the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart again, with a total of 14 songs.

In the singles chart, except for MJ and Susan Boyle, he has the most songs.

On the Billboard rap chart, "See You Again" landed at the first place, "I'm The One" returned to the second place, "Lighters" co-produced by Mars and Bobby Jr. returned to the third place, and Wiz Khalifa's single "Say Yeah" released last year ranked ninth.

After listening to "See You Again", those fans of MJ went crazy and continued to listen to Link's other songs and buy his albums.

This time, not only Link was surprised, but the media and record companies were also shocked. They did not expect that a song would cause such a big movement.

The New York Times published a tens of thousands of words of investigative report, which detailed the origin of the song, the impact it brought, and the reasons behind it.

The origin was that Link saw Michael's portrait at his memorial service and got the creative inspiration.

The song has a great impact and has become the official song of MJ's fan club to commemorate MJ.

Whenever fans sing this song, they think of MJ, and whenever they think of MJ, they will sing this song.

MJ's fans are spread across nearly 200 countries around the world, with more than 1 billion fans, and this song will be sung all over the world.

The reason behind it is very simple.

First, MJ is too famous and influential, the "King of Music";

Second, the quality of this song is extremely high, the lyrics and melody, pop music + rap music, are all great.

The energy generated by the collision and combination of the two is huge.

Just like the legendary "whale fall", when a whale falls, all things come to life.

After MJ's death, the popularity, attention, and public resources that once gathered on him will slowly disperse and transfer to other singers in the music circle.

Including Taylor, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele, Link and others who debuted in the past two years.

With this song, Link seems to have inherited the largest part of the resources.

The New York Times commented that if Link had not gone astray, he would definitely be a superstar in the music industry in the future.

Evaka saw the news, raised the corner of her lips, and looked at Mr. Graham opposite: "Last year I told you to be strict with Link and shape him as a top singer. At that time, I expected that he would have the opportunity to become a top singer in five or ten years. Obviously, my estimate was too conservative. He only took one year to achieve his goal."

Mr. Graham sighed secretly and was also shocked by the huge influence brought by this song.

Two weeks ago, Link and Wiz Khalifa recorded songs in the studio. He heard the full version of the song and felt that the song was great at the time. It was a top production with the potential to be a big hit.

Although he knew that the song was great, when Link connected the song with MJ, the energy and influence it generated far exceeded his imagination, like a musical storm.

Link is the center of the storm, and has become a top star in the music industry.

The next thing the company needs to do is to find a way to help him maintain his current position and not fall back to the first-rate or second-rate.

"You guys discuss it and come up with a more complete development plan based on Link's current situation. Link is the signboard and pillar of Link Music. We must deal with his affairs with a more serious attitude."

Evaka crossed her fingers and said with a serious expression.

"I understand."

Graham nodded, picked up the documents on the table and left.

Evaka stared at the newspaper on the table, and saw the three-dimensional outline of Link in the photo, which was like an ancient Greek sculpture, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

Dongdong!

There was a knock on the office door, and Evaka straightened her back again, trying not to let her full chest hit the edge of the table.

"Come in!"

"Evaka, the concert is about to start, when will it leave?"

Lana Del Rey smiled at the door.

Evaka said let's go, put away the newspaper on the table and put it in her Gucci small bag, and left the company with Lana.
