Chapter 460 What kind of woman do you want?

Link's new album "Love is Gone" once again sold more than 1 million copies in the United States in its second week, shocking countless singers in the European and American music circles and causing 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 owns two.

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 is this.

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

At this price, sales 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 "Love is Gone" is priced at US$39.9 each and sold 30,000 copies within two weeks. The vinyl record, which costs up to US$65, 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 become a big star immediately, 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 on 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 headphones and looked at him doubtfully.

At this time, Link's new song "Let Me Down Slowly" came from his headphones.

If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely

Your leaving will make me lonely

If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

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

Let me down, down

I'm addicted to you and can't help myself

Let me down, down

"Hou Li Crab Te! Are you listening to Link's songs? You even bought 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 shrugged.

"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 though he took every precaution, 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.

"Don't mention 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. If it didn't work, he would find someone to scold him."

"Did Kanye find someone to scold?"

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

50 Cent shrugged.

"Kanye did 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, studying them will also be of great help to our creation.”

"Yes, Link has had three consecutive albums sell well. This one has great hope 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 Link up.

But now that he criticized Link, he was refuted by everyone. 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 "Love is Gone" digital album, just considering that everyone was interested in Link's album. I didn't show my disgust at the party.

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

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only when it is dim and dim do you think of the bright lights

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

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

Only know you love her when you let her go

It's only after you let go that you realize it's true love

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

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

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

This kind of level is too rare and makes people jealous. That guy 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 to listen to Link's album.

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

"Rihanna, what does Boss Jace want to talk to you about?"

Lil Wayne asked as he took off his headphones.

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

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

Although Jay-Z said it very tactfully, 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 didn't answer and continued to ask her if she was interested in Link.

Of course Rihanna is 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, artistic women, etc., they can all find something they like in him.

This kind of man is a superb man.

Almost no woman could resist his charm.

But being interested is one thing, seducing is another.

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

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

Knowing that Link is not interested in dark-skinned girls and still trying to seduce him is 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 has to have some dignity. If she is asked to seduce Link, she will not do such a thing.

She immediately took the initiative to leave without waiting for Jay-Z to say anything more. She is a singer signed by Jay-Z's record company, but she is not his slave. If she does not agree to such a thing, Jay-Z can't do anything to her.

But she is still very curious about why Jay-Z wants to seduce Link herself.

——

"Did Rihanna agree?"

In the second-floor office, Beyonce walked in from the door with long curly brown chestnut hair and a hip-wrapped knee-length dress. The coffee-colored dress is almost the same color as her skin. With her round and firm hips and full and plump breasts, she looks plump and tall.

"Rihanna is not suitable. She has a strong personality."

Jay-Z sat on the sofa, smoking a cigar, looking blankly at the smoke floating in the air.

Beyoncé sneered, "Why don't you try Alicia and Rachel Roy? They are soft-hearted, listen to you, know your difficulties, and will definitely agree to help."

Ahem!

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."

"I'm telling the truth. They are both beauties in the eyes of white people. They are also famous. Let them seduce Link. Maybe it will work. I suggest you try."

Beyoncé said with a smile.

"Don't say it. This is Sean's idea. Sean and Little Kunas know more white female stars. Let them figure it out."

"What do you think of me? Why don't I try to seduce Link?"

Beyoncé suddenly laughed while holding a glass of red wine.

"You? Are you kidding me?"

Jay-Z said with a sullen face.

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

Beyoncé said with a smile.

Jay-Z frowned and looked at her.

Beyoncé is 30 years old this year. She debuted with the Destiny's Child in the 1990s and became a top girl group in the music industry. After going solo in 2005, she became a queen of the music industry. She is famous enough, beautiful, and has a hot and sexy body. She is regarded as a goddess by many people.

Even Kanye and Lil Wayne are very popular with her and often peek at her.

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

If Beyoncé comes, the probability of success is indeed very high.

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

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

——

Ding Dong!

During a book signing at a library in Shibuya, Tokyo, Link received a message from Beyoncé.

Beyoncé asked him when he would return to China and which female star he liked. Little Kunas, Puff Daddy, and Jay-Z were going to send him a few female stars to play with, preferably dark-skinned ones. If he had a target, he could tell her and she could give Jay-Z and the others suggestions.

Link was confused. Little Kunas hated him so much that he didn't even have time to send him a female star.

He asked Beyoncé what she meant.

Beyoncé told him that Puff Daddy and Epstein had been sending him women for a while, but he didn't 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 from the previous failures and decided to pick a few beautiful female stars to send to you.

When you have sex with a female star, they will ask the female star to stand up and sue you for rape. They will use this method to frame you and ruin your reputation. Are you afraid?"

What Beyoncé said is interesting, and Link also found it interesting. The little Kunas and others have taken great pains to deal with him.

However, the possibility of success for them to use this method to deal with him is not too great.

First of all, with his current aesthetics and identity, ordinary female stars can't get close to him.

Secondly, he is very good to his girlfriends. If a female star can successfully climb into his bed, the benefits she gets will definitely be more than from the little Kunas and others. They don't have to do that at all.

In addition, he has his own set of principles for women. He will not take the initiative or force it, and will not have sex against the other party's will. For female stars who take the initiative to come to his door, he will leave voice or video evidence for the first time.

He doesn't have to worry too much about being framed by this method.

However, Beyoncé's warning was also useful. She rose too fast and her methods were a bit rough. In the process, she would inevitably offend some people and be retaliated by her enemies.

She should be more careful in the future, especially when it comes to women.

Link asked Beyoncé what happened to Puff Daddy. He had no conflict of interest with him, so why did he hang out with Little Kunas and others.

Beyoncé said that Puff Daddy was the former boss of the East Coast rap gang. He had not been successful in singing and career in recent years. He wanted to hang out with his former younger brother Jay-Z, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

When he heard that Jay-Z, Little Kunas, Little Epstein, and Peter Peltz were going to deal with him, he volunteered to get involved and help with strategies.

He sent women to Link many times, but all failed, which made him lose face. He didn't have much hatred for Link before, but now he has more hatred.

Beyonce joked that at Link's current age, with his wealth, status, position and reputation, any man would be jealous and want to see him in trouble, so there is no need to have any hatred against him.

Link was speechless, this is the tree attracts the wind.

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

Link joked about the big star Beyonce.

Beyonce said no problem, she would definitely send it to him.

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

"Konikiwa! Link, I'm a fan of yours, can you please sign for me?"

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

He looked up and saw Yui-chan, with a round face, air bangs, and a sweet smile on her face. When she smiled, she would show eight white teeth, which made people feel that the weather was good.

She was also wearing a beautiful women's small suit and a plaid skirt, like the school uniform of Tokyo Middle School, with long hair loose, looking very beautiful.

"Konichiwa! Yui-chan, is the movie finished? Xi-chan said you were filming a movie in the crew."

Link took the record from her hand.

"Hi! It's not finished yet. I heard that Link-chan was holding a book signing event in Shibuya, so I came here to ask Link-chan for an autograph."

Yui-chan smiled sweetly.

Link smiled gently and thanked Yui-chan.

Yui-chan is now one of the most popular female stars in Japan, known as the "national wife". She came to the book signing event in person to ask for an autograph. It will definitely be on the news tomorrow, perhaps a scandal, and Link is expected to ignite the flames of jealousy among Japanese otakus again.

He asked Yui-chan if she was free. Nozomi-chan bought a lot of delicious food today and was going to cook a Japanese feast at home. He invited Yui-chan to visit his home in Minato.

Yui-chan asked if it would be a bother?

Link said no.

Yui-chan happily agreed.

After seeing Yui-chan off, Link continued to sign autographs for other fans.

Because there are more Japanese people, the admiration for the strong is more serious than in other regions.

During the two days of the autograph session in Japan, tens of thousands of fans came to line up for autographs every day.

Every day from 9 am to 6 pm, there were too many albums to sign.

Later, at the sincere request of the distributor in Japan, he had to extend the autograph session to three and a half days, but even so, it could not meet the needs of all fans.

During these three days, Yui-chan often visited Baker Villa in Minato, and sometimes came to help Nozomi Sasaki cook dinner. Once when he and Nozomi were taking a hot spring bath, Nozomi invited Yui-chan to join them. Yui-chan looked at him and shyly agreed.

Link was also fortunate to experience the exquisiteness of Japanese bathing culture.
