Chapter 421: Brush the News
When the billboard was released for the new week, everyone who paid attention to the billboard was stunned.
"Opera 2" actually advanced directly into the top three.
"It can't be."
The American medium-sized gossip magazine OK! exclaimed: "No one, no singer, can rise to such a ranking in such a short period of time." β
"Li Lin, a singer from China, this rookie singer in the United States won the third position on the Billboard with his first song, which is simply incredible."
"If he hadn't made the list, then he was destined to become popular in the United States."
Is Billboard hard to use? Of course it's difficult, many kings and queens in the United States have to compete for the charts, and your songs are not good, so I'm sorry, please make way for other kings and queens.
On this list, it's not that you have to be popular, you have to be popular to be popular, otherwise it's a castle in the air.
In the same way, if your song is popular, it can't be done if it doesn't have popularity, it's just a fortress in the sand.
But Li Lin has just entered the United States, and the first single "Opera 2" actually rushed to the third place, which makes people have to suspect that he has brushed the charts.
"I have long heard that the trend of brushing the list in China is very heavy, many singers have brushed the list, and even bought the list, and the list has no credibility at all, but I didn't expect that Li Lin would still be like this after he arrived in the United States, and he really regarded the American list as a list of Huaxia?"
"Sicilian Daily" bit Li Lin to the death.
Ever since it was used, everyone was holding their breath in their hearts. Now they think that they have caught Li Lin's sore feet, and of course they have to attack Li Lin fiercely.
"In the United States, charting is a very dangerous job. Be careful on the blacklist of billboards. A gossip magazine warned Li Lin.
Brush the list?
Li Lin glanced at the newspaper in his hand.
Since coming to the United States, he has been subscribing to all American magazines and newspapers, large and small, so that he can learn about the dynamics of the United States.
Suddenly, many magazines began to accuse him of swiping the list, and he immediately felt a little confused.
"Did Universal Music help me make the charts?" Li Lin asked Steele beside him.
He is 100% sure that he didn't make the charts, so it may be Universal Music that helped him make the charts, of course. It could also be that gossip magazines are talking nonsense, anyway, what they are best at is talking nonsense.
"Nope." Steele shook his head and said, "Brush the list, especially the billboard board." This is a big taboo, once it is found out, it will be blacklisted. β
"While blacklisting doesn't mean banning you from being on the list, it does modify your algorithm to make it harder for you to get on the list."
"This. The major record companies have proven it with their own history of blood and tears. So they won't help their singers brush the charts, or even take the initiative to warn their singers when they brush the charts. β
"Then why do they say I'm on the list?" Li Lin frowned.
The gossip magazine is convincing, and it's not a gossip magazine that says so, and the most important thing is that his number jΓΉ is indeed a bit weird, according to his weirdness, at least until next weekend, he can't get to the top five.
But "Opera 2" directly advanced into the top three.
This number is very weird.
"You can check out the news." Steele took the initiative to take out her laptop and log in to Li Lin's post in Asia, she pointed to a topic post above and said, "Obviously. It's your fans who are helping you make the charts. β
"That's why your number will increase so quickly, but don't worry. Fan brushing the list is not counted in the brushing list. β
"And don't say that the Billboard hasn't been punished yet, even if the Billboard is punished, I have a way to help you lift this punishment, you know, in the American music industry, there is nothing we Universal Music can't do."
"Like beating Sony?"
Li Lin's sudden words made Steele's excited expression suddenly cool down.
Sony, Sony, Sony, and Sony, Americans' prejudice against Sony has long reached a very terrible level.
In the film industry, Sony is a well-deserved giant, even after being cheated by Time Warner, Sony is still a model of deep pockets.
In Hollywood, no studio could be richer than Sony.
In the music industry, Sony is also a very strong storage zΓ i, and its kings and queens really don't want too much, even if it is backed by Vivendi's Universal Records, they are also afraid of Sony.
And Sony isn't just about music and movies, either.
They are still a giant, games, mobile phones, computers, it seems that there is nothing that Sony can't do, and what is even more terrifying is that behind Sony is Mitsui, one of the four major Japanese conglomerates.
So although the Americans have made a lot of stumbling blocks for Sony, pitted Sony many times, and made Sony vomit blood, Sony still survives tenaciously, whether it is Universal Movies or Universal Music, they all wish Sony died.
Sony has almost become a no-go zone for them.
"Damn Sony, it's going to go out of business sooner or later."
The argument of Sony's collapse has been going down in the United States for a long time, and when Sony's financial statements showed a revenue of 100 billion yuan but a loss of 2 billion, some people said that Sony was going to go bankrupt.
When Sony was pitted by Time Warner and lost 800 million, some people said that Sony was going to go out of business; When Sony Films failed and the investment could not recover the cost, some people said that Sony was going to go out of business; Even when Wall Street gloated that Sony was in financial difficulties and bloated personnel, some people said that Sony was going out of business.
But now, Sony is still there, alive and well, and has gradually taken root in Hollywood.
Is it the Americans who can't do it? No, the number of times the Americans have caged Sony is really not too much, but every time the tenacious Japanese can get back on their feet, it is simply a small strong that cannot be killed.
This makes the Americans hate them to the core.
"Okay, let's not talk about Sony, let's discuss how to face the doubts from the outside!" Li Lin asked Steele's opinion, "Now many gossip magazines say that I have brushed the list, although I know that I have not brushed the list, how should I respond to them?" β
"No response." Steele said without hesitation: "Why do you want to respond?" It's a pity to give up such a good publicity opportunity. β
"You wait, I'll arrange for some people to clarify on the Internet, but let's not rush to clear our suspicions."
"You're not famous enough now, and once the news doesn't follow you, it's easy for you to be annihilated, so make sure there is a topic, at least until your first album hits the U.S., and the topic can't stop."
"Okay." Li Lin responded in one bite.
The hype of fame is particularly easy to disappear.
Like Supergirl in the previous life, those champions, third runners-up and runners-up were very famous at the beginning, but after a while, the fame slowly disappeared.
It's good to have your own works, at least there are so many loyal fans, but some don't have their own works, or the works are really not on the stage.
Once there is no topic, it is easy to be annihilated by everyone.
Take Brother Chun, the hottest in Supergirl, as an example.
This actress was very popular at the beginning of Supergirl, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as popular all over the country, and then released an album with a mediocre response.
So Tianyu began to hype her in an all-round way.
What Brother Chun, Brother Xinchun has eternal life, Brother Xinchun is not a student and other slogans are all thrown on her head, trying to maintain her fame, according to a magazine, Tianyu invests at least more than one million in publicity expenses on her every year, which is higher than the publicity cost of a movie.
And this kind of publicity also made her rise step by step, and even many media called her a celestial queen, and she acted in any advertisement, endorsement, movie, and TV series.
As a result, as Tianyu slowed down its promotion of her and netizens were not enthusiastic about the word Brother Chun, her fame fell all of a sudden.
This is what happens without the support of a good work.
Now Li Lin is facing the same situation as Brother Chun, although "Opera 2" is popular, it is not enough to support him, so he needs to constantly hype himself to let more Americans see him.
After the release of his first English album, if it is successful, it will be completely established; If he doesn't succeed, he'll probably fall into an indefinite hype, and the hype after that won't be as easy as it is now.
People have a fresh period.
The singer just came over, there were many topics, and the media was very interested, but after a while, the fans gradually became less interested in the singer, and the media began to be impatient with the singer.
Some news that could have been in the headlines during the fresh period gradually leaned back, or even just a line of small print to express a sense of survival.
As Li Lin did not respond to the outside world's questions, many gossip magazines thought that Li Lin was instigated, so they reported it more eagerly.
"Li Lin did not respond to the rumors of swiping the list, it seems that there is an inside story in it."
Li Lin was silent, and the editor doubted whether Li Lin was really involved in the process of brushing the list.
"Artists who brush the charts should not be stored in the American music scene, "Sicily" hereby calls on the American Billboard to blacklist Li Lin."
The Sicilian newspaper, which had always been dissatisfied with Li Lin, jumped up and down and called on the American billboard to punish him.
Originally, the U.S. Billboard was going to deny the rumors of Li Lin's swiping list, but after Steele contacted them, they fell silent, after all, even the parties didn't care about this kind of rumors, and they didn't need to do this thankless thing of 'clarifying for the parties'.
"Li Lin really brushed the list?"
On Yahoo Entertainment, Li Lin's news was marked with a big question mark.
As a news portal controlled by Chinese-Americans, Yahoo Entertainment and Li Lin have always had a close relationship, which is entirely because "World of Warcraft" took the initiative to give most of its resources to Yahoo Entertainment when it was in online marketing, so that Yahoo Entertainment is now reciprocating.
"During this time, Li Lin's "Opera 2" from China has risen abnormally on the billboard, and many newspapers and magazines have accused Li Lin of brushing the charts, but the editor found that on the other side of the ocean, many fans belonging to Li Lin crossed the Pacific Ocean and took the initiative to come to the United States to support Li Lin's list."
