Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 460

Chapter 460 What kind of woman do you want?

 Link's new album "Loveisgone" once again sold more than 1 million copies in the United States in its second week, which also shocked countless singers in the European and American music circles, and also caused envy and jealousy.

Since Nielsen data began to count album sales in 1991, only 19 albums have sold more than 1 million copies per week in the United States. For the American music scene, which releases eight to nine hundred or even thousands of albums and EPs every year, the weekly sales exceed 100 million copies. It's like a legend.

 And Link has two of them alone.

What is even more enviable is that the sales of the new album have exceeded one million for two consecutive weeks, which is a legend among legends.

 What drives colleagues the most crazy is this.

His two consecutive albums are priced at US$29, which is double or even triple the price of other albums.

 At this price, sales have exceeded one million for two consecutive weeks.

Even the "Los Angeles Times" published an article jokingly saying that Link's fans are all tycoons. The albums of other singers can't be sold for a few dollars each. His albums are as high as 29 dollars each, and they sold 256 in two consecutive weeks. Ten thousand pieces, that's too exaggerated.

 It is said that the deluxe version of "Loveisgone" is priced at US$39.9 each and has sold 30,000 copies within two weeks. The vinyl record of up to US$65 has also sold more than 50,000 copies worldwide.

These data all prove that Link's fans are indeed rich, and his albums do fall into the category of luxury goods consumption.

 The Los Angeles Times analyzed that there are two main reasons why Link's albums are highly priced but continue to sell well.

　　First, Link himself is too famous and has too many auras. He is a world boxing champion, the world's youngest billionaire, a world music superstar, a popular movie star, a swimming great, a youth idol, a playboy, etc.

If any one of these halos is given to an ordinary person, the ordinary person can instantly become a big star, let alone having them all.

This has also led to a large number of people who admire him all over the world. Because of their admiration, they are willing to spend money to buy his things. Not to mention that buying albums falls into the category of art consumption, so it makes sense to spend more money.

 The second reason is of course that the songs in the album are of very high quality.

 One of the ten songs from the other albums made it into the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart, which is considered a good album.

All the songs from his two consecutive albums have entered the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart. The new album also has nine songs that have entered the top 10. They compete with each other and line up to win the singles chart. The level is too high. Other albums are simply not comparable. Not on.

Even the general agent of the New York distributor once publicly told the media that the pricing of Link's two albums was determined through joint discussions between the publisher and local distributors.

 Although the price is relatively high, there is a reason for the high price.

To allow albums of this quality to be priced the same as regular albums at a few dollars would be a slight to these albums and a slight to songs as works of art, and good works of art are priceless.

 “Shit!”

 “It's so expensive, only a fool would buy it.”

In the black metal club, Lil Wayne looked at the news in the newspaper and couldn't help but spit out his white teeth and red tongue, and let out a burst of unhappy curses.

 “Huh? What are you talking about?”

 50 cents took off the earphones and looked at him doubtfully.

At this time, Link's new song "LetMeDownSlowly" came from his headphones.

IfyouwannagothenI'llbesolonely

Your leaving will make me lonely

 Ifyou'releavingbabyletmedownslowly

 Baby, if you want to leave, can you not let me down so completely?

 Let me down, down

 I've become addicted to you and can't extricate myself

 Let me down, down

 “Honestly! Are you listening to Link's songs? Did you even buy his album?”

Lil Wayne glared and cursed.

“I bought it. This album is really good. It's a good deal to buy the digital album for 19 US dollars.”

 50 cent shrug.

“Shet! Listen to what you're saying. Spending $19 on Link's album still feels like a good deal?”

Lil Wayne said unhappily.

 “It's really a good deal.”

Next to him, Usher said, "I bought the deluxe version of Link's album. It contains Link's autograph, two posters, a Link Music brand headset, and a small metal shield from Captain America. It's better than ordinary ones." The album has two more songs, which feels like a great deal.”

“What? You bought the deluxe edition of Link's album? It's $39 and you bought it too?”

Lil Wayne looked at Usher in disbelief, and was so angry that his voice was distorted.

“Lil, stop shouting, haven't we spent enough money on Link this year?

We also consumed three boxing match broadcasts for more than two hundred dollars, movie tickets for "Bridesmaids" and "Captain America" ​​for more than fifty dollars, several horror movies from Lionsgate Pictures, and albums by singers from Link Music. Pass.

To be more specific, there are also advertisements endorsed by Link. I spent hundreds of dollars a year on Link, no less than this dozens. "

 50 cents said with his legs crossed.

Lil Wayne was stunned for a moment and realized that 50 cents was right.

Although he hates Link and doesn't want to support him in the past two years, he has unknowingly spent two to three hundred dollars on him, including boxing matches and "Captain America." Mainly because his family wants to watch it, he can't help but Pay money.

Thinking of this, Lil Wayne was very helpless. Link also had too many side jobs. Even with all the precautions, he still failed to prevent him from siphoning off some money.

“Even so, we can't take the initiative to buy his album. Don't you know that Jay-Z and Kanye still hate Link very much? We should support them.”

 Lil Wayne said.

“Forget it, after Link's album came out, Kanye was the first to buy it. He said he wanted to see what Link's new album was like, and if it didn't work, he would find someone to scold him to death.”

 “Did Kanye find someone to scold?”

“Kanye said he wanted to learn how to defeat Link using Link's methods.”

 50 cent shrug.

 “Kanye is doing the right thing.”

Duck Redeker drank a beer and said, "Link's sad-style album is indeed a classic. Even though there have been many albums of the same type in the past few decades, the quality of this one ranks high in history in my opinion." Five, or even the top three, learning from them will also be of great help to our creation.”

"Yes, Link has had three consecutive albums sell well. This one has great hopes to catch up with "21" and continue to be the sales champion in the US album chart. This shows that he understands the preferences of fans very well. We are all singers and we can learn from the champion album. , will avoid detours.”

Chris Brown said.

Lil Wayne grinned, feeling very helpless.

In 2009, whenever he said something bad about Link, everyone would support him, and everyone would get excited and want to rush in and beat up Link.

But now that he criticized Link, he was refuted by everyone, and he became a minority among this group of people. This feeling of being isolated was very unpleasant.

Seeing that everyone was silent and listening to Link's new song, he gritted his teeth and took out the music player to listen to Link's album. In fact, he also bought the "Loveisgone" digital album, just because of everyone's dislike of Link. , was not brought out at the party.

Now that everyone is listening, he simply stops pretending and joins in the fun.

 Wellyouonlyneedthelightwhenit'sburninglow

 Only think about the brightness of the lights when it is dim and dim

 Onlymissthesunwhenitstartstosnow

I miss the warmth of the sun only when it's freezing and snowing

 Onlyknowyouloveherwhenyoulethergo

 Only after you have let go do you realize that it is true love

 Onlyknowyou'vebeenhighwhenyou'refeelinglow

After listening to "lethergo", Lil Wayne sighed helplessly. Link's songs are indeed good.

Each song is worth listening to carefully and repeatedly. None of the twenty songs can be skipped while listening.

This kind of level is too rare and makes people jealous. Link is just a boxer. How can he be so handsome, so good at fighting, and write so many good songs?

 Lil Wayne almost clenches his teeth every time he listens to Link's album.

While everyone was listening to the song, Rihanna slowly walked down the stairs with a strange expression.

 “Rihanna, what did Boss Jess want to talk to you about?”

Lil Wayne took off his headphones and asked.

Rihanna frowned and shook her head. She couldn't say this, and others wouldn't believe it.

Jay-Z just came to her and asked her how she felt about Link, and even suggested that she have more contact with Link.

Although Jay-Z said it very euphemistically, she also heard that Jay-Z wanted her to seduce Link and become Link's lover.

She was a little confused at the time. Everyone knew that Jay-Z and Link had a bad relationship, but now Jay-Z wanted her to throw herself into Link's arms.

  She asked Jay-Z why he did this.

 Jay-Z did not answer and continued to ask her if she was interested in Link.

Rihanna is of course interested. Although Link is not black, his appearance is also in line with the aesthetics of black girls, as well as his figure, his sexual ability, his fame, his wealth, power, and talent.

These are all irresistible things for women. No matter what kind of woman they are, whether they love beauty, love money, love power, are vain, wanton, or artistic women, they can all find something they like in him.

This kind of man is a superb man.

 Hardly any woman can resist his charm. Being interested is one thing, seducing is another.

Link's rumored girlfriends are almost all blonde girls with long legs like Taylor Evaca, or petite girls like Emma Watson and Emma Roberts.

 There is no rumored dark-skinned girlfriend so far, which also shows that he is not interested in dark-skinned women.

If you still seduce Link knowing that he is not interested in dark-skinned girls, you are asking for trouble.

And she is 23 years old this year. She is one of the top female singers in the current music industry. Among dark-skinned female singers, she is second only to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and other veteran female singers. She is a new No. 1 black female singer of a generation.

 She also wanted to lose face, so if she was asked to seduce Link, she would naturally not do such a thing.

  She took the initiative to leave without waiting for Jay-Z to say anything more. She was a singer signed by Jay-Z's record company, but she was not his slave. She would not agree to such a thing, and Jay-Z could not do anything to her.

 It's just that she is still curious about the reason why Jay-Z wanted to seduce Link himself.

 “Has Rihanna agreed?”

In the office on the second floor, Beyoncé wore long brown curly hair and walked in from the door wearing a hip-covering knee-length dress. The brown dress was almost the same color as her skin. Paired with her round and strong buttocks and plump breast curves, the whole person was... Appear plump and tall.

 “Rihanna is not suitable, she has too strong personality.”

Jay-Z was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar, staring blankly at the smoke floating in the air.

A sneer flashed across Beyoncé's lips, "Why don't you try asking Alicia and Rachel Roy? They have soft personalities and listen to you very much. They know your difficulties and will definitely agree to help."

 Cough!

 Jay-Z put down his cigar, waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do with them. It's just a work relationship. Don't think too much."

"What I said is true. They are both beauties in the eyes of white people and have a good reputation. Let them seduce Link. They may be successful. I suggest you try it."

Beyoncé said with a half-smile.

“Stop talking, it was Sean's idea. Sean and Kunas know more white female celebrities, so let them figure it out.”

“You think I'm like this, why don't I try to seduce Link?”

Beyoncé suddenly smiled while holding a glass of red wine.

 “You? Are you kidding me?”

Jay-Z said calmly.

"First of all, I hate Link too, very much. Sometimes I want to eat him. Secondly, I am very sexy, even in the eyes of white people. I am 100% sure about dealing with a young man like Link. Do you want to think about it? ?”

Beyoncé said with a smile.

  Jay-Z frowned and looked at her.

Beyoncé is 30 years old this year. She debuted in the 1990s with the group Destined Girl and became the top girl group in the music industry. After going solo in 2005, she became the queen of the music industry. She is famous enough, beautiful in appearance, hot and sexy, and is praised by many Treat people as goddesses.

Even people like Kanye and Lil Wayne are very fond of her and often peek at her.

He knows all these things, but he doesn't care. Instead, he thinks it's cool.

If you let Beyoncé do it, the probability of success is indeed very high.

Jay-Z hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said with a stern face: "Shut up! You are my wife, how could I let you do such a thing? Don't say such things again in the future."

Beyoncé smiled meaningfully, said nothing more, and walked out with her plump buttocks twisted.

 Ding dong!

Link received a message from Beyoncé on the sidelines of a book signing at the Shibuya District Library in Tokyo.

Beyoncé asked him when he would return to China, and also asked him which female star he liked. Little Kunas, Diddy, and Jay-Z planned to give him a few female stars to play with, preferably dark-skinned ones. If He had a goal and told her that she could give some advice to Jay-Z.

Link was confused. How could the little Kunas give him a female star before they even hated him?

He asked Beyonce what she meant?

Beyoncé told him that Puff Daddy and Little Epstein had been sending women to him for some time, but he would not accept any of them.

“After many failed attempts, they discovered an amazing secret, you are only interested in beautiful female stars, haha, he fully learned the lessons from the previous failures and decided to select a few beautiful female stars to send to you.

After you have a relationship with a female celebrity, they will ask her to come forward and accuse you of rape. They will use this method to frame you and ruin your reputation. Are you afraid? "

Beyoncé said it was interesting, Link was also quite interesting to watch, and the little Kunas had taken great pains to deal with themselves.

However, if they use this method to deal with themselves, the possibility of success is not very high.

 First of all, with her current aesthetics and identity, ordinary female celebrities cannot get close to her.

 Secondly, I am very good to my girlfriends. If a female star can successfully climb into his bed, she will definitely get more benefits than from Kunas. There is no need for them to do that.

Also, he has his own set of principles for women. He will not take the initiative or force him to do so, and he will not have **** against the other person's will. He will leave voice or video evidence for the first time a female star comes to his door.

 He doesn't have to worry too much about being framed in this way.

But Beyoncé's warning is also useful. She has risen too fast and her methods are a bit rough. In the process, she will inevitably offend some people and suffer revenge from her enemies.

 You should be more careful when doing things in the future, especially when it comes to women's issues.

Link asked Beyoncé what was going on with Diddy. He had no conflict of interest with him, so why was he hanging out with Kunas and the others.

Beyoncé said that Puff Daddy is the former boss of the East Coast rap gang. He has not been successful in singing and career in recent years. He wants to follow his original younger brother Jay-Z, but he has no shame to speak up.

 I heard that Jay-Z, Kunas Jr., Epstein Jr., and Peter Peltz were going to deal with him, so I volunteered to get involved and help with suggestions.

 He sent women to Link many times, but they all failed, which made him very embarrassed. He didn't have much hatred for Link at first, but now his hatred is even greater.

Beyoncé joked that at Link's current age, with his wealth, identity, position, and reputation, any man would be jealous and want to see him suffer, so there is no need for any grudge against him.

Link is speechless, this is the big tree attracting the wind.

Beyoncé continued to ask him who his favorite dark-skinned actress was, and if she could help recommend it and send it in a package.

Link joked about the big star Beyoncé.

Beyoncé said no problem, guaranteed to deliver.

 After chatting for a while, Link returned to the front desk to continue the autograph session.

 "Konikiwa! Link-chan, I am a fan, can you please give me your autograph?"

While he was concentrating on signing, a familiar voice appeared in front of the long table. It was fresh, sweet, lively and brisk.

He raised his head and saw Yui-chan, with a round face, air bangs, and a sweet smile on her face. When she smiled, she showed eight white teeth, which made people feel like the weather was good when they saw her.

She was also wearing a beautiful little lady's suit and a plaid skirt, like the uniform of a Tokyo middle school. She looked very beautiful with her long hair hanging loose.

“Konikiwa! Yui-chan, is the movie finished? Yui-chan said you were on the crew filming the movie.”

Link took the record from her hand.

“Hi! I haven't finished filming yet, but I heard that Link-chan is holding a book signing in Shibuya, so I came here specifically to ask for an autograph from Link-chan.”

Yui-chan smiled sweetly.

Link smiled lightly and thanked Yui-chan.

Now Yui-chan is one of the most popular actresses in Japan, known as the 'National Wife'. She came to the autograph session in person to ask for autographs. She will definitely be in the news tomorrow. Maybe it is a scandal. Link is also expected to ignite the jealousy of Japanese otakus again. flame.

 He ​​asked Yui-chan if she was free. Nozomi-chan bought a lot of delicious food today and wanted to cook a Japanese dinner at home. He invited Yui-chan to be a guest at his home in Minato.

Yui-chan asked if it would be disturbing?

Link said no.

Yui-chan happily agreed.

 After sending Yui-chan away, Link continued to sign autographs for other fans.

 Because there are more Japanese people, the strong-willed mentality is more severe than in other areas.

In the two days of the autograph signing event in Japan, tens of thousands of fans came and lined up to sign autographs every day.

　　Every day starts at 9 am and ends at 6 pm. There are too many albums to be signed.

 Later, at the sincere request of the Japanese distributor, he had to extend the signing event to three and a half days. Even so, it could not meet the needs of all fans.

In the past three days, Yui-chan often visited the Baker Villa in Minato District. Sometimes she would come over and help Nozomi Sasaki make dinner. Once when he and Nozomi were soaking in a hot spring, Nozomi invited Yui-chan to come with her. Yui-chan looked at him and said, Agree shyly.

Link was also lucky enough to experience the subtleties of Japanese bathing culture.
