Chapter 195： See You Again

Chapter 195 SeeYouAgain

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, and it seems that no matter how much the media promotes him, it is not too much.

Those who attacked him could not 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 initially 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 behind only a group of East Coast rappers who could not find any rivals. Link said that Link relied on "smart tactics" 'Win.

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 "SeeYouAgain".

 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 "SeeYouAgain" was released, it immediately became popular all over the Internet.

· The video of the two singing duet 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 posted "SeeYouAgain" on Twitter.

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

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

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

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

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 "SeeYouAgain" 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.

When the object of commemoration 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? SeeYouAgain 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 SeeYouAgain?"

“I don’t just like it, I just like it so much. 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 Paul Walker about the filming of the film, 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 after its release, "SeeYouAgain" 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 level.

And 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 reign with data exceeding "Empire State of Mind" by more than 60 times.

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

“Believer” re-entered the top ten of the Billboard singles chart, ranking fifth.

Songs such as "Givemereason", "TroubleI'mIn", "KeepOnMovin'", "ThisIsMe", "I'mTheOne", "Unstoppable" and "Neversaynever" were once again on the Billboard singles chart, with a total of 14 songs.

Other than MJ and Aunt Susan, he has the most songs on the singles chart. On the Billboard rap chart, "SeeYouAgain" landed at No. 1, "I'mTheOne" returned to No. 2, Mars and Little Bobby's collaboration "Lighters" returned to No. 3, and Wiz Khalifa released last year 's single "SayYeah" ranked ninth.

MJ’s remaining fans went crazy after hearing “SeeYouAgain” and continued to listen to Link’s other songs and buy his albums.

This time, not only Link was shocked, but the media and record companies were also taken aback. They did not expect that a song would bring such a big stir.

The New York Times published an investigative report of tens of thousands of words, explaining in detail the origin of the song, its impact, and the reasons behind it.

The origin is that Link saw Michael's portrait when he attended his memorial service and got the creative inspiration.

This song had a huge impact and became the official song of the MJ fan club to commemorate MJ.

As long as fans sing this song, they will think of MJ, and as long as they think of MJ, they will sing this song.

MJ has fans in nearly 200 countries around the world and more than one billion fans. This song will also be sung all over the world.

The reason behind it is simple.

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

Second, this song is of extremely high quality, with lyrics, melody, pop music + rap music, all very good.

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

It's like the legendary "whale falls", where everything comes into being when a whale falls.

After MJ’s death, the popularity, attention, and public resources that once gathered on him will slowly disperse and be transferred to other singers in the music industry.

Including Taylor, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele, Link, etc. 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 after saying that if Link does not go astray, he will definitely become a superstar in the music industry in the future.

When Ivaca saw this news, she raised her lips and looked at Mr. Graham opposite: "Last year, I told you to be stricter with Link and shape him as a top singer. At that time, I expected him to There is a chance to become a top player in five or ten years. Obviously my estimate was too conservative. It only took him one year to achieve his goal."

Mr. Graeme sighed secretly, and was also shocked by the huge influence of this song.

Link and Wiz Khalifa were recording a song in the studio two weeks ago. He listened to the full version of the song and felt that the song was great at the time. It was a top-notch song and had the potential to become a hit.

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

Link was at the center of the storm and became a top star in the music industry.

The next thing the company has to do is to find ways to help him stabilize his current position and not fall back to first-rate or second-rate.

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

Ivaca crossed her fingers and said with a serious expression.

"I see."

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

Iwaka stared at the newspaper on the table and saw Link's three-dimensional silhouette in the photo, which looked like an ancient Greek sculpture. There was a look of thought in her eyes.

咚咚!

There was a knock on the office door. Ivaca straightened her back again, trying not to let her plump **** hit the edge of the table.

"Come in!"

“Ivaca, the concert is about to start, when will we leave?”

Lana Del Rey smiled at the door.

 Ivaca said "Let's go", put away the newspapers on the table and put them into the Gucci satchel, and left the company with Lana.
