Chapter 267 Released on Valentine's Day
This premiere ceremony was similar to the previous ones, except that the scale was larger, and there were more reporters and fans at the scene. After Link and Taylor walked hand in hand on the red carpet, the fans and fans at the scene also made loud noises, and many people shouted By 'Lin Klink'.
Before the Super Bowl, Link was a top player in the boxing and music circles, and a second-rate player in the film industry. Even though he was famous, there were still many people in the United States who didn't know him, such as many middle-aged and elderly people who were not good at accepting new things.
After the Super Bowl, Link successfully broke out of the entertainment industry, and his popularity in the United States reached 91%. This data was obtained by the "Hollywood Reporter" through a questionnaire.
Among 5,000 moviegoers of different levels, 91.8% said they knew he was a singer, and 74.8% could name his name and occupation after seeing his photo.
This data is only slightly lower than the proportions of Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Tyson, Ali, the President of the United States and others.
Among the new generation of celebrities, Link is truly at the top.
Link and Taylor answered several questions from reporters on the red carpet, signed several posters for enthusiastic fans, and then walked into the Nokia Center Theater hand in hand.
"Hi Link, Tyler! Long time no see."
When the two arrived at the scene, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner and others had already arrived. There were hundreds of well-known actors and filmmakers at the scene, which was like a big party.
"Haha, long time no see!"
Link and Tyler came up to say hello to their acquaintances.
"Link, your performance at the Super Bowl was amazing. Legends never die was great."
Jennifer Garner laughed.
Jennifer is a famous actress, with representative works such as "Juno", "Daredevil" and "Girls Dream 30".
She is also the wife of Ben Affleck and the sister-in-law of Casey Affleck. When Link was filming on the set, he had an overlapping role with her and chatted with her twice.
After hearing the compliment, Link expressed her gratitude and chatted a few words with Ben Affleck beside her.
Ben Affleck is not only a famous actor, he has also transformed into a director in the past two years. He later won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for "Escape from Tehran". He is also a very talented guy.
We may make a film together if we have the opportunity in the future.
"Link, are you still practicing boxing at Muscle Beach recently?"
Seeing Taylor chatting with Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, it's just that I've been a little busy with work recently, so I'm only there for more than two hours a day."
"Will you be there tomorrow? I want to train too."
Emma Roberts said, shaking her little fist.
"Tomorrow will be between 10 o'clock and 13 o'clock. Is your movie finished?"
"No, I've finished filming two films, and I still have two more films to shoot after May. I'm almost exhausted."
Emma Roberts said, holding on to her slender waist.
Link smiled softly, this should be the trouble of happiness.
The other Emma, before signing with the Palm Bay Agency, couldn't get a role all year round. Every time she got a role with more roles, she would jump up with excitement.
And Emma Roberts comes from an acting family. Relying on the connections of her aunt and parents, she has no shortage of resources in the industry, but she is troubled by too many dramas.
This is the same name but different destiny.
After chatting for a while, the premiere ceremony began, and everyone sat down to watch the movie "Valentine's Day" together.
The movie starts in a flower shop. On Valentine's Day, the flower shop owner played by Ashton Kutcher proposed to his girlfriend played by Jessica Alba. Jessica first agreed and then regretted it, and the two broke up.
Ashton told his friend Jennifer Garner what happened, but Jennifer discovered that the man she was dating was a married man and ran to the restaurant to cause a scene.
In this process, customers of the flower shop are interspersed. A seven or eight-year-old boy orders flowers at the flower shop and is about to confess his love to his teacher Jennifer. His nanny Emma Roberts and her boyfriend are getting ready to go to bed on Valentine's Day. The love between the little boy's grandparents story.
The little boy’s mother, Julia Roberts, met her companion Bradley Cooper on the plane, Cooper’s love affair with her gay boyfriend, the football star, and the story of the little nanny’s best friend, Taylor Swift, and her boyfriend on Valentine’s Day .
The story of the entire movie is presented to the audience through a network structure. The plot is not very coherent, but the stars who appear in front of the audience one after another are like Christmas eggs, which makes the audience quickly forget the flaws in the plot and immerse themselves in the director. Weaving a Valentine's Day love story.
"Why do I feel like my character is a bit annoying?"
Taylor leaned over and said.
Link put his arm around her shoulders and smiled: "Didn't you notice when you read the script? This character is set to be a willful, arrogant, flamboyant high school girl. You can feel that your character is a bit annoying, which proves your performance. Not bad.”
"Really? I thought that would be cute."
Taylor said with a wink.
"Well, young and beautiful girls are a little bit cute if they are willful, so you don't have to worry about the negative impact this role will have on you."
"Your character seems a bit stupid? Like a dork."
Tyler quipped as he watched the movie.
"Starting in his true colors!"
Link smiled carelessly.
Today was a fairytale, you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand， and you picked me up at six
At the end of the movie, the sound system played Taylor's ending song "Today was a fairytale" for the movie.
There is also Link's song "Girls Like You" in this movie, but it is just an interlude.
Clap, clap, clap!
The lights in the theater came on, the audience stood up, and there was a warm applause.
——
On the same day that "Valentine's Day" was released, the cover photo of Link's third album was also released online. The album name is "The Woman I Love" and the release date is March 22.
In the photo, Link is shirtless and hugging a blonde beauty with a naked back.
His facial features are handsome and tough, with clear edges and corners, and his blue eyes are bluer and clearer than the sky. The muscles of his exposed arms are beautiful and strong.
The back of the woman in his arms is also very sexy, and the beautiful contour curves are like works of art, leaving people with endless reverie and speculation.
As soon as this cover was released, it caused heated discussions on the Internet. Many people discussed whether the two wore clothes when taking pictures, and who was the woman in Link's arms. Some speculated that it was Taylor, and some speculated that it was not.
Others discussed the release date. Link's album was released on March 22, Justin's second album was released on March 1, Usher's new album was released on March 26, and Drake's first studio album was released on April 20.
From this situation, it can be seen that the East Coast rapper not only used Justin's album to compete with Link, but also prepared to use the human sea tactics to attack Link's album with more people.
It is extremely difficult for Link's new album to break through the siege.
But this statement was refuted by Usher and Redeker.
Usher said that his album was completed in April last year and planned to be released in August, but before the release, he was not satisfied with several songs in the album, so he delayed the release.
After half a year of refinement and improvement, the number of songs in this album has increased from 18 to 23, with more songs and higher quality.
Usher said that this is a sincere work, no less than the fourth album, which also sold 1.1 million copies in the first week.
Redek also said that the release time of his new album has nothing to do with Link. His new album is a rap song, while Link's is a pop song. There is no competition between the two.
Although the two explained this, fans still believe in their own judgment. These three albums are all for Link's new album, otherwise they would not be released before or after Link's.
These speculations also made the news of Link and Justin's competition for the charts more lively.
At the same time as Link's third album cover photo was released, the first promotional single "All Of Me" was also released on online digital music platforms and offline record stores, and the song MV was uploaded on MTV Music Channel and YouTube paid subscription channel.
"All Of Me" was released on Amazon Digital Music Store and iTunes Music Platform Mall for three hours, with 38,000 copies downloaded, topping the Amazon Digital Music Store song download chart and the iTunes singles chart.
Weekly downloads ranked sixth, with the top five songs being the still popular "Legends Never Die", the top-ranked "Baby", Usher's "Hey Daddy", Wiz Khalifa's "Black And Yellow", and Kesha's "Your Love Is My Drug".
Within 24 hours of release, "All Of Me" had 125,000 downloads, surpassing "Hey Daddy" and entering the third place in the weekly single download rankings.
On online platforms and radio broadcasts, the song has been played more than 10 million times and was rated by the New York Times as the best love song for Valentine's Day this year.
On February 14, the day before Valentine's Day, Link and Tyler went on vacation in Hawaii and played on Oahu for three days.
On Valentine's Day, "All Of Me" sold more than 150,000 copies a day, becoming one of the most popular songs on Valentine's Day this year.
In the first week of its release, "All Of Me" sold 457,000 copies online and offline, ranking third on the Billboard singles chart.
The first is "Legends never die", which sold 715,000 copies in the second week and remains popular.
The second is Taylor's theme song "Today was a fairytale" for "Valentine's Day", which sold 482,000 copies and ranked second on the singles chart.
The fourth is Justin's "baby", which sold 312,000 copies. This song is still very popular online.
Kesha's "Your Love Is My Drug" ranked fifth with 266,000 copies, "Hey Daddy" ranked sixth with 121,000 copies, and Wiz Khalifa's "Black And Yellow" ranked seventh with 98,000 copies.
The Los Angeles Times reported that this year's Valentine's Day singles chart was dominated by love songs from Link and Taylor. If Justin wants to compete with Link on the singles chart, he needs to come up with more sincere works.
