Chapter 448: Completely tearing the skin
Li Lin's albums continued to be popular, and "M. Happy" immediately entered a period of steady development after surviving the initial blowout period, with more than 100,000 copies almost every day, and close to 200,000 album sales in the United States.
And all over the world, Li Lin's albums have also begun to be fully distributed.
Influenced by the popularity of "M. Happy" in the United States, record distributors in some English-speaking countries in Europe were very confident in the album, and they bought a large number of goods, and then customized a large number of posters, ready to put them all on their stores when they went on sale.
And not to mention Asia.
Although their English popularity is not very high, thanks to Li Lin's popularity, Asian record companies have a lot of confidence in Li Lin.
Needless to say, Li Lin's own gold medal record ordered two million albums at one time, and then distributed them in China, and this number is calculated based on Li Lin's Korean albums.
At the beginning, Li Lin released his first Korean album, although the main market is South Korea, but it still sold a million copies in China, why is this? Because Li Lin's fans bought it.
It doesn't matter if you can't understand Korean, as long as the voice is Li Lin's.
For Li Lin's fans, the significance of that Korean album is greater than the practical significance, not to mention that even if you can't understand it, you can listen to the beautiful melody, and the charm of music lies in this.
What's more, Li Lin's album has been very popular with players since it just came out, and the original version of "Opera 2" has been leaked on the Internet and has set off a craze, regardless of whether you can understand Russian or not. all praise "Opera 2", and some people even call "Opera 2" the Divine Comedy of the year.
Moreover, during this period of time, the Asian media has never stopped reporting on Li Lin. As the first Asian singer to become popular in Europe and the United States, his every move involves the hearts of many Asian media.
He casually achieves a result, gives back to the Asian media, and immediately writes about it.
It can be said that Li Lin now represents not only him alone, but also the people of the whole of Asia.
In such a situation, whether it is Gold Record or Ibex Group. They all have great confidence in the release of Li Lin's "M. Happy" album in Asia.
And when Li Lin's album was selling like tea, the contradictions between Avril and Sony began to be frequently exposed.
First, the media photographed Avril's agent arguing with Avril in the villa, and Avril slammed the door and walked out. When the media interviewed Avril, they heard Avril complain.
"Sony is getting more and more excessive, interfering in everything, that's not the music I like."
Gradually. Some media outlets withdrew their attention from Li Lin's album. Instead, he focused on the conflict between Avril and Sony.
They don't know if the conflict between Avril and Sony at this time means that Avril's new album is about to be released, whether this is a hype or a real contradiction, but it doesn't mean that they don't pay attention to Avril.
Because whether it is hype or real contradictions, there is enough news to dig up about Avril's matter.
"Avril and Sonny are at odds?"
Li Lin put down the newspaper in his hand, rubbed his temples, a little tired, he has been promoting every day recently. It's a lot tiring to expose as much as possible in front of the public.
Fortunately, he had intensive publicity when he was in South Korea. The exertion of this kind of Cheng dù is still bearable.
"Probably hype!" Luo Feng said.
The more she stepped into the entertainment industry, the more she understood the publicity methods of the entertainment industry, and when the album was about to be released, a conflict suddenly broke out, and her first reaction was that the singer and the company joined forces to hype.
"Probably not."
Li Lin shook his head.
Avril had a conflict with the company, and he knew it.
In her previous life, Avril had conflicts with her company in any lawsuit, and it sounded like the company was squeezing her, but in fact it was not.
No matter which company it is, when facing Avril, it has given enough benefits, whether it is the signing fee or the share given, it is a lot of money for the diva.
Why? Because Avril is talented in her own right.
She is different from ordinary divas, she can write songs, sing well, and is popular, and she will not consume too many resources of the company to bring a steady stream of income to the company.
But the conflict between her and the company is more severe than money, that is, the conflict of ideas.
Avril is different from ordinary female singers who are attracted by the drunken fans of the entertainment industry, her original intention to join the music scene is to make music by herself, and then let her music be known to the majority of fans, and share her talent with fans, which sounds like an ordinary ideal, but in the music world, this ideal is Yan zhòng's heresy.
For record companies, they don't care about the feelings of their fans, they care about the dollars in their pockets, they do everything possible to take out the wonderful money from the fans, and for this goal, they use all kinds of means, and in the name of maximizing profits.
Driven by profit maximization, the record company chose to put one or several good songs into an album made of junk songs and bundled them.
And this happens to be in conflict with Avril's concept.
Avril creates a song and then wants to add it to her album, but the company doesn't see it that way, if the song is bad, it's just that, the company won't care, but if the song is good, the record company has an idea.
They hope that they can add songs to their own reserves, and then give them to other new singers to sing, help new singers become famous, and then earn more fabulous.
In their eyes, there will be no gap between an album composed of good songs and an album composed of a small number of good songs and most garbage songs.
Even if there were, it wouldn't be big.
On the contrary, if you split the album composed of good songs, find a large number of garbage songs, and split this good song album into several albums, even if it can't compare to the good song album in a single album, but in terms of total sales, it can be far away from the good song album.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Lin's irreplaceable position in the gold medal record, and later he annexed his own record company, the album he created would have been forcibly split by the company.
In the eyes of record companies, Li Lin's all-classic albums are simply stupid hats, and for this reason, I don't know how many record companies drool in the face of Li Lin's album sales, and at the same time laugh at the commercial immaturity of the gold medal record company in their hearts.
Therefore, the conflict between Avril and Sony is not a material conflict, but it is a conflict of ideas that is more difficult to reconcile than a material conflict.
According to rumors, Avril once wanted to form her own record label, but for some reason, Avril finally gave up on the idea.
"Maybe you can try." Li Lin thought for a moment and said to Luo Feng: "You can find a way to contact Avril and ask her if she is interested in forming her own record company, if so, you sue her, and we can provide funds and human resources." ”
Li Lin has no connections in the United States, but he can still provide human resources, and as for funds, he is not short of funds.
"You want to reach for your tentacles to the United States?"
Luo Feng was a little worried, "The United States is not so good. ”
In the past, when she was in China, she heard that the United States was like a paradise, but after coming here, she realized that the United States was not as beautiful as she imagined.
Yes, there are no unspoken rules here, but there are a lot of clear rules, all the unspoken rules have changed from dark to bright, and this place is more like a bottomless pit, she is afraid that Li Lin will lose money after investing money.
Moreover, there are such and such international giants here, and Li Lin is stretching out his hand to the United States, isn't he challenging those international giants? They're not that easy to deal with.
"Don't worry, it's just a test." Li Lin gently hugged Luo Feng and said, "We are just providing funds, and it is Avril Lavril and them who are in charge." ”
With the excavation of the media, the contradictions between Avril and Sony have been exposed more and more, threatening Avril to hide her, modifying Avril's album style, and a series of problems have been exposed.
It reminded Americans of what MJ had said.
"They're going to ruin my album."
The American people are surprisingly angry.
They vented their dissatisfaction with Sony on the Internet, scolding and insulting Sony in various ways, and told Sony to get out of the United States.
In fact, this is not the first time Sony has suffered this kind of treatment.
When Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, Sony encountered a boycott from the American media, and the American media maliciously said that the Japanese wanted to buy the entire United States, but as a result, Sony encountered a very strong resistance in the United States, and all kinds of products were almost impossible to sell.
After that, MJ publicly said that Sony was going to ruin his album, which immediately caused an uproar, and many MJ fans took action to boycott Sony, and Sony's stock price fell slightly, which finally attracted the attention of Sony's top management.
And now, because of Avril's incident, Sony has once again encountered resistance from the American public.
"I had a very unpleasant time at Sony."
Avril suddenly said this at one of her fan meetings, and Avril's agent turned pale with fright at that time and dragged Avril away directly.
Before leaving, Avril left a message, "They're going to destroy me." ”
The media at the scene suddenly boiled.
If they were still wondering if this was a joint hype between Avril and Sony, then no one now doubts whether this is a joint hype between Sony and Avril.
Hype, it is impossible to put yourself in it.
Avril's words at the fan meeting are equivalent to completely tearing up her face with Sony, even if it is hype, it is impossible to hype it to this point. (To be continued......)
