Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 265 A single

After rehearsing for a few days, Link brought the performance team to Miami to perform at the NFL Super Bowl halftime show.

More than 100,000 spectators came to the Dolphin Arena that day, and the surrounding auditoriums were packed. Tens of thousands of people crowded into the stands to watch the show. There were huge crowds of people everywhere.

At halftime of the game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints, the British rock band TheWho came on stage to perform a song to lighten up the atmosphere.

 Then Link led the band on the stage, singing "unstoppable" first, and finally singing "Legends Never Die", which is also the theme song of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals and was sung by the American pop rock band "Against the Current".

  Legendsneverdie

The legend will never die

 Whentheworldiscallingyou

The world is calling you

ˆCanyouhearthemscreamingoutyourname

 You can hear your name being called

  Legendsneverdie

The legend will never die

When he took the microphone and shouted the phrase "LegendsNeverDie" loudly, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became sensational, and the audience screamed loudly.

 “Wow, this song is great!”

“This is the kind of song that belongs in the Super Bowl.”

More than 100 million American viewers watching the Super Bowl in front of the TV could not help but burst into admiration while eating snacks.

 Many viewers who did not know Link in the past also knew through this performance that he was a singer with a powerful and powerful voice, good singing, and handsome appearance.

 “Cool! That’s cool, I like Link!”

 In front of the TV, Miley Cyrus stood up excitedly, and the popcorn in her arms spilled all over the floor.

 “Link’s singing skills are getting stronger and stronger, how can he be so good!”

Qian Po Sally covered her face and exclaimed.

“Hehe, it’s just so so, you don’t need to praise him like that.”

Selena blinked her big eyes and stared at Link on the TV, with the corners of her cute mouth almost raised to her ears.

“Selena, is Link really your cousin?”

"certainly!"

 Selena nodded her chin affirmatively.

“Do you have any other cousins? Can you introduce them to us?”

 Miley and Kesha put their arms around her shoulders and smiled.

 “Yes! They are in Mexico.”

 “Forget it! Forget what we just said.”

 Miley and Kesha waved their hands and sat back on the sofa, eating snacks and watching the show.

The struggle against adversity is written with great blood and sweat stained with red scars. No one will mention it.

 Legendsneverdie

On TV, Link sang a song and raised his fist to the sky with more than 50 backup dancers. The movements were uniform and the scene was very shocking.

 It caused a roar like a mountain and a tsunami at the scene.

 “It’s so cool! This is a god-level scene.”

 In the bar, Eminem was wearing a sweatshirt, holding a beer bottle and shouting at the TV.

 Kanye, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and others were sitting not far away, staring at another TV. They came to the bar to have fun, but they did not expect to meet Eminem.

“Hey, are you sure you want to compete with Link for the singles chart? Can you come up with a song that’s better than this?”

Eminem leaned on the sofa and smiled.

 “Of course! You don’t need to worry.”

 50 cents said.

“I bet that this song can win the number one spot on this week’s singles chart. What song are you going to use to compete with it? That song baby, baby, oh~”

Eminem quipped.

Kanye was gloomy and silent.

50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown looked at each other with helpless expressions. They thought Justin and Usher's songs were good enough, but they heard this song "Legendsneverdie".

Even if they hate Link, they have to admit that this song is so cool. Even after listening to it twice, they still want to find a place where no one is around to yell out——

 Legendsneverdie! !

You are also part of the legend

The second time the song was sung, the roars of the audience became even louder and more intense, and many rugby players also waved their fists and roared loudly, paying tribute to the former rugby players in this way.

 Many spectators stood up and roared along, and some tore T-shirts, lit them, and waved them vigorously. Fortunately, the staff discovered them in time, so no fire broke out.

 “Link, you are great! You are our pride!!”

In the stands, hundreds of beach neighbors including Fatty James, Michael, and Daniel waved flags and roared loudly. Their cheeks turned red, and they were a hundred times more excited than ordinary spectators.

The number of discussions about this song on the Internet has also skyrocketed, with the number of topics reaching a peak of over 130 million times.

 “This song is so cool, I get goosebumps when I listen to it.”

 “LegendsNeverDie! This is definitely the best tribute to rugby players.”

“Link’s songs are always so high-spirited, tenacious, and full of power. When listening to his songs, people can subconsciously clench their fists.”

“Link was so thoughtful that he wrote such a song specifically to participate in the Super Bowl. All the singers who participated in the Super Bowl before were outclassed.”

 “It takes too much effort on my throat, I don’t like it!”

On the day of the Super Bowl, social platforms such as Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook were all filled with discussions about Link’s song, with a favorable rating of over 92% and almost no negative comments.

At the end of Link's performance, the official link music account sent a tweet, and the studio version of "LegendsNeverDie" was officially released on Amazon, iTunes, Apple Music and other online platforms.

 On the first day of release, it was downloaded 218,000 times in the United States, easily exceeding the seven-day sales of "Baby" last week.

"Boss, the ratings for this Super Bowl halftime show are out. The highest viewership is 158 million, breaking the 2003 ratings record. "Baby" has also been overtaken. It will be difficult for us to keep the top spot on the singles chart this week. "

SBproject Brokerage Company, the assistant came to the desk of President Scooter Braun and said. Scout is wearing a suit, with his long hair combed back and a cigar between his fingers. Although he is cautious about his words and actions in front of little Kunas, in this company, he is the master.

“Got it, let’s inform the heads of the marketing department, distribution department, and public relations department, and we’ll have a meeting in the conference room in five minutes.”

 “Okay boss!”

 The assistant left in a hurry.

Scooter took the cigar and pressed it hard in the ashtray a few times, feeling very annoyed. In order to promote the song "Baby", SBproject has invested more than 6 million in publicity funds, and he also used many personal connections to help promote it.

　　Have done so many things, but they are no match for Link's song.

At this point, he had to rearrange his plans and find a way to win this battle.

Victory, Justin reaches the top, failure, another person changes.

 Five minutes later, Scout came to the conference room and issued tasks to the supervisors of his multiple departments.

The marketing department continues to promote Justin Bieber, giving him more opportunities to appear, increase his exposure, and call on Justin’s fans to buy singles to support him.

The distribution department will invest another part of the funds and cooperate with the data service company to continue to refresh the data.

 Many professional singers are unwilling to do this kind of thing because of their appearance, but Scout doesn’t care. He is a businessman, a pure businessman. As long as he can make money, he doesn’t care about anything else.

  The public relations department contacted the media to question the authenticity of the sales volume of "LegendsNeverDie" and took the opportunity to hype up Link Music's data. Not only did this song increase its data, but Link's previous two albums may also have faked sales.

Even if there is no fraud, it still muddies the water.

 After all departments of SBproject were put into operation, the sales of "Baby" on various platforms also skyrocketed, with more than 82,000 copies sold the next day.

At the same time, there are also many voices in the media questioning the sales of "LegendsNeverDie". They believe that the daily sales of this song exceed the normal level and are even higher than last year's "seeyouagain" and "pokeface", which is obviously unreasonable.

In response to the doubts, Link Music Public Relations Department also gave a reply. There is absolutely no phenomenon of data brushing.

 The high sales of "LegendsNeverDie" are due to the high quality of the songs. Link's fans enthusiastically supported it and invited the media and people from the Wall Street data consulting firm McKinsey to participate in the investigation and supervision.

For media and individuals who dare to slander Link, the Link Music Legal Department will not hesitate to send a stack of lawyer's letters.

ˆ "LegendsNeverDie" sold 1.035 million copies in its first week of release, becoming one of the singles with the highest number of digital downloads in the first week of 2010, and also became the top singles chart this week.

 In second place is Justin's "Baby", with sales of 424,000 copies.

  During the promotion, the media commented that Link's popularity in the music scene is still strong, and he started strongly in 2010 with a single that sold more than 1 million copies a week.

The evaluation of "baby" is that it is a glorious defeat, saying that without the support of the Super Bowl, "LegendsNeverDie" may not be able to defeat "baby" and win the first place.

Justin’s fans also went to Link’s Twitter to troll “LegendsNeverDie” for its disgrace.

And Link and Link’s fans don’t even bother to argue with them.

 “They were smart enough not to sell millions of copies of “Baby”.”

In the Bay Villa, Link flipped through the "Billboard" magazine and smiled.

"Maybe the cost is too high. "LegendsNeverDie" has sold more than one million copies. If you want to achieve this figure, you need to spend tens of millions of funds, which is not cost-effective."

Mrs. Andrea said while cutting the fruit.

 “It’s too eye-catching.”

Taylor leaned on his lap, flipping through the magazine and said, "'Legends Never Die' sold more than one million copies thanks to the Super Bowl promotion. 'Baby' had no promotion at all and suddenly sold one million copies. Even a fool can tell that they are Brushed.”

Link fiddled with her hair and said: "But in terms of the toxicity of the song, "baby" is much higher than "Legends Never Die", and it is easier to spread. My dear, your writing skills are superb, can you write a song with more toxicity than "Legends Never Die"? "Baby" is a stronger song?"

“I can’t write it. The purpose of writing songs is to listen to my fans, not to force everyone to listen, nor to make money. Doing so will make me lose the motivation to create.”

 “The realm is so high, I can’t compare to you.”

"of course!"

Taylor gave him a proud look and saw Mrs. Andrea peeling an apple and handing it to her. She reached out and was about to take it, but Mrs. Andrea slapped her hand away and handed it to Link.

Taylor was stunned for a moment, biting his lower lip, and stared at Link coldly with his blue eyes.

“You don’t like eating apples, why are you trying to grab them from me?”

 “I may not like it, but I can’t live without it.”

Link shrugged his shoulders and put the apple to her mouth. Taylor opened her mouth and took a big bite. While eating the apple, she looked at Mrs. Andrea with a proud look on her face.

 “Link, I’ve finished running, three laps.”

Brother-in-law Austin rushed into the living room in a sweaty shirt and shorts. He probably ran too fast, holding on to the wall and gasping for air.

“It only took twenty minutes, which was great! Next is the strength training session, do five sets of push-ups, each set of 20, no more, no less.”

Link pointed to the carpet in the middle of the living room.

“Okay! I’m very good at push-ups. I can finish 100 in no time.”

Austin took a few breaths and lay on the ground huffing and puffing while doing push-ups. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was in good physical condition.

Snapped!

Tyler slapped Link on the thigh and stared at him with his blue eyes blinking, "Are you sure you are teaching him to box?"

“Of course! This is the basic skill. Practicing the basic skills of boxing is the most important.”

Link grabbed Taylor's white fingers and smiled.

"Link is a professional in this area, so don't talk too much."

Mrs. Andrea said.

Taylor rolled his eyes, "I'm worried that Link is teasing your son, and you still speak for him."

 “Link is not that kind of person.”

Andrea shook her head and said.

 “Look! Anne still understands me.”

Link smiled softly, held the back of Taylor's head, put two pillows underneath, stood up and walked to the middle of the living room, showing Austin how to do push-ups.

 Actually, he doesn’t plan to teach Austin too much, just some wrestling and fighting moves, which are enough for self-defense.

As for boxing, Mrs. Andrea would not be willing to let Austin get beaten in the boxing ring, and it would be useless to teach him.
