When this gossip first came out, many little stars were unknown, so they asked acquaintances who Wu Kebo was? is a bigwig in the film and television industry or a business tycoon, but the old people who are slightly familiar with Wu Kebo's specific identity keep their mouths shut one by one, they feel that a storm is coming.

On September 23, Orange Sky Entertainment was established, with Wu Kebo as the president, and there were no signed artists under it.

On September 24th, Li Lin began to promote the second official album "Music Gate", and at the same time, the news of Huayi artists jumping jobs intensified, and many media blocked the two Wang brothers and asked if the news of Huayi artists jumping jobs was true.

Wang Zhonglei, the younger brother of the two Wang brothers, categorically denied it to the media after receiving the news, saying: "This is nonsense. And told reporters not to believe the rumors.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Jinghua announced her resignation and slapped Wang Zhonglei in the face, and the entire entertainment industry began to be treacherous, and many artists announced that they would no longer accept media interviews, even when someone was interviewed, they told the reporter that they didn't know and didn't know anything.

Those who are a little more sensitive feel that the wind and rain are coming, and the entertainment industry is about to have a big earthquake.

On September 25th, Li Lin's second regular album "The Gate of Music" broke out the title song "Because of Love", and the number of downloads exceeded 3 million on the same day, setting a new record for entertainment paradise downloads.

At the same time, Wang Zhongjun, the elder brother of the two Huayi brothers, said in an interview with reporters, "I can't tell you about this now." It's true! I'm in a meeting right now to look into this, and I'll tell you tomorrow, okay? ”

And Xu Li, vice president of Huayi, issued a statement to refute the rumors, saying, "Wang Jinghua can't have so much energy to take away all the artists." After all, everyone has a contract on them. ”

Wang Jinghua said in an interview that she was very busy and didn't want to say anything, and the specific results would not be known until later.

On September 28, Chen Zhiming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Zhou Yun, Tong Dawei, Michelle Yeoh, Guan Zhilin, Carina Lau, Wu Junru, Yuan Yuyi...... and so on, dozens of first-line artists announced their job hopping, Orange Sky Entertainment.

In an instant, Huayi changed from a film and television giant to a shell company, and Orange Sky Entertainment changed from a shell company to a film and television giant, and a major earthquake broke out in the entertainment industry!

October 1st. Li Lin's new album "The Gate of Music" was released globally after a short period of promotion, "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Half Orc", "Because of Love", "Dark Fragrance", "Sun and Moon in the Heart", "White Birch Forest", "Drunken Chibi" seven Chinese songs plus a Korean song "One Day a Day", Japanese song "Love" and two English songs "Breatheeasy" and "yes". Form a mixed saucer.

On the day of its release, sales exceeded 400,000 in China, 100,000 in South Korea, 30,000 in Japan, and a total of 80,000 outside Asia. 610,000 copies were sold worldwide. The media exclaimed that another album with more than 10 million sales is about to appear.

At the same time, the major Korean music source lists and Chinese music charts were slaughtered by the songs in Li Lin's new album "Music Gate", especially the major Chinese TV music lists, which were slaughtered by Li Lin from the inside out.

Many singers in China saw that Li Lin had a trend of bloodbathing the market, and announced the postponement of the launch of the new album, handing over the market in October to Li Lin to boost Li Lin's prestige.

October 7th. Sales of the "Music Gate" album continued to rise, and the Japanese and American markets began to strongly boost the sales of this album. In particular, after the two songs "Breatheeasy" and "yes" began to land on the US Billboard, ranking 23rd and 18th respectively, the album's sales in the United States rebounded strongly, from less than 30,000 copies sold in a single day to 100,000 copies, while sales in Europe and Australia declined.

At the same time, major music magazines in China have issued supplements, and major musicians have rated and evaluated Li Lin's new album.

"Four-star album." Li Lin's teacher, Li Zongsheng, unceremoniously gave Li Lin's "Music Gate" four stars in the magazine, "There is not a single bad song, this is my evaluation of this album." ”

"I really don't know how Li Lin's head grows."

Liu Huan, who once praised Li Lin's first album "New Style", did not give Li Lin face this time, "I'm very disappointed, really, this album is not necessarily much better than the previous album in terms of level, Li Lin's progress is very small, the only thing worthy of praise is that he is at least improving, not regressing." ”

"I give his album "Music Gate" four stars for quality and five stars for sales, of course, it is a wish, after all, the sales are too affected by the outside world, such as natural and man-made disasters, such as natural and man-made disasters......."

"Five-star album, although the quality is a little worse than the five-star album, it is the highest quality album this year, since the golden age of the music industry has passed, there has been no such high-quality album in the Chinese music scene for a long time." -- Gao Komatsu.

"There is no imaginary amazing, only ordinary without losing the level, maybe my positioning for Li Lin is too high, in my impression that his album should be an all-classic album, the result is only surprise and not amazing, if it is not for this album above the level, a little progress, I have to shout whether Li Lin is Jiang Lang is exhausted, the only thing that makes people feel amazing is that Li Lin plays black music very well, "yes" will lead the storm of black music, I hope he has achieved something internationally, Otherwise, it would be a waste of the quality of the album. - Cui Jian.

"Li Lin's heart is very big, two English songs prove that he is not willing to succumb to Asia, began to test the waters of Europe and the United States, obviously, the current dilemma he is encountering is that he is not popular in Europe and the United States, otherwise the ranking of "Breatheeasy" and "yes" will not be so miserable, in my eyes, whether it is "Breatheeasy" or "yes", it should be ranked in the top five on the billboard. - Wang Xiao.

Strong word-of-mouth supports Li Lin's album sales not to decline too much, and in Japan and South Korea, Li Lin's albums began to decline after a short outbreak.

The Korean market is too small, and Li Lin didn't come to promote it, except for the support of his die-hard fans, that is, some music enthusiasts are supporting Li Lin's album, and other passers-by can't sell the album at all without publicity.

Although the Japanese market is larger than South Korea, Li Lin's popularity in Japan is insufficient, because the Asia-Pacific market has not yet been integrated, and Li Lin relies on posters and music promotion on public charts and major record stores in Japan.

As for Europe and the United States, Li Lin's popularity is even lower, in Japan Li Lin has at least one "New Style" album as a base, in Europe and the United States, Li Lin relies on the popularity support brought by the piano music album, but those who like piano music do not necessarily like pop songs, and those who like pop songs do not necessarily like piano music, so Li Lin's test of the waters is not embarrassing or embarrassing, waiting for fans to find Li Lin's diamond in the dust.

However, Rao is like this, Li Lin's global sales are still very terrifying, in just seven days of the National Day, Li Lin's global sales of albums have exceeded four million, and they are marching towards five million.

Breaking 10 million sales is almost certain.

On October 8th, the long-overdue Golden Melody Awards finally announced the shortlist, and Li Lin was shortlisted for the Best Male Singer Award, the Best Album Award, the Best Arrangement Award, and the Best Lyric Award.

"It seems that Wu Kebo has no way to affect the Golden Melody Awards." Li Lin looked at the shortlist announced by the Golden Melody Awards on the computer and laughed, "I heard that Huayi's two Wang brothers announced the ban on Orange Sky Entertainment?" ”

Qi Xiangdong said with a smile: "Huayi has blocked Orange Sky Entertainment, and Orange Sky Entertainment has also blocked Huayi, and the two companies are now stumbling!" ”

Li Lin was stunned when he heard this.

In the previous life, Huayi blocked Orange Sky Entertainment, and Wu Kebo just scolded, but he didn't expect that Wu Kebo in this time and space actually blocked Huayi in turn, and the two companies were going to fight to the end.

"But I'm not optimistic about Huayi." Qi Xiangdong said: "Huayi now has a shell company left, and if it wants to fight with Orange Sky Entertainment, which has absorbed nearly eight layers of Huayi's artists, there is no such capital at all." ”

Qi Xiangdong was slightly disdainful.

Artists are the foundation of an entertainment company, and the strength of this entertainment company is strong when there are more artists, like the new picture, the company looks infinite on the surface, but in fact, it is all supported by Zhang Yimou alone, if one day Zhang Yimou goes to the trough, the new picture company will then go to the trough.

Now that Huayi's artists have been hollowed out, there are only three or two big cats and kittens left, he can be said to have fallen from the giant position of the film and television production company, and he is clamoring to ban Orange Sky Entertainment, which is just a dying struggle in Qi Xiangdong's eyes.

"Don't underestimate Huayi." Li Lin said: "To be able to rise in such a short period of time, there are many consortia standing behind Huayi, and it is almost impossible to defeat Huayi by poaching this trick." ”

"And don't forget, Huayi still has a big-name director like Feng Xiaogang in charge, as long as Feng Xiaogang's movies sell well, Huayi will recover sooner or later."

"The difference is whether Huayi can return to the top after the restoration."

"Otherwise, we will dig Feng Xiaogang over." Qi Xiangdong rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea, "Now that the film and television industry is shaken, it is a good time for us to expand, and I think we should vigorously develop it." ”

Dig Feng Xiaogang?

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "Feng Xiaogang can't change jobs, he is an old courtier who grew up with Huayi, Huayi except for the two kings, only Feng Xiaogang can't dig it." ”

"But we can try to dig Orange Sky Entertainment." Li Lin said: "Those artists just jumped jobs and were blocked by Huayi, and the internal situation must be unstable, we just tried to dig them, as long as we dig one or two, even if we make money." (To be continued......)
