Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 443 - 371 Eva Meets Taylor_2

Since Taylor and Ivanka were both big celebrities and the leading ladies in the current media storm, news of their meeting quickly made it to the top of several news websites' trending lists, attracting countless netizens to come and join the discussion.

Many were curious about what they discussed during their meeting, and Taylor's song "The Devil" from her album, which was thought to be a veiled reference to Ivanka, stirred speculations about whether the two might come to blows.

Unfortunately, both parties declined to comment on the meeting during public interviews afterward, leaving Link, the male lead, unable to satisfy his curiosity through online discussions.

However, after their meeting, mainstream online opinion, after being guided, shifted from attacking him personally to the competition between the two in the album charts.

Many netizens shouted about taking down the scumbag Link and supporting Taylor to win Album of the Year, saying they would save up to buy her album and help raise her child.

Insiders also leaked that, supposedly, Link and Taylor had made a bet while they were together to see whose new album would have the highest sales in the United States, but only the two of them knew what the stakes were.

On that very day, Link Studio released the good news that Link's third album "The Woman I Love" had surpassed 4.5 million sales in the United States and 19.33 million worldwide, topping both the U.S. and global charts for 2010.

Meanwhile, Taylor's third album "Last Kiss" had accumulated 3.225 million sales in the United States that week, still a significant gap from Link's 4.5 million.

Some fans believed that Link Studio's announcement at this time was a taunt at those supporting Taylor, being presumptuous and taking advantage of her pregnancy, bullying Taylor, a woman carrying his child.

This guy is truly shameless and immoral, a definitive scumbag.

Netizens were outraged and openly cursed at Link, calling him the worst man of the 21st century, expressing their support for Taylor to beat this scumbag.

To support Taylor, Selena publicly auctioned off her collectible deluxe editions of "The Woman I Love" with Link's autograph, and deluxe editions of "Keep On Movin'" and "The Fighter" on the Amazon store.

She purchased twenty copies of Taylor's new album "Last Kiss," saying that she would take practical action to support her friend Taylor and take down her cousin Link.

Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, supermodel Du Juan, Taylor's friend Jamie King, Jessica Alba, and so on, all publicly expressed their support for Taylor to defeat the scumbag Link.

Even Beyonce expressed her liking for Taylor's songs during a public event, preparing to show her support.

After Beyonce, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Drake were also rumored to be quietly encouraging their fans to buy Taylor's new album.

Additionally, a group of people who admired Taylor or disliked Link, including the Jonas Brothers, John Mayer, Jamie Foxx, and Will Smith, showed their support for Taylor on various occasions.

The Hollywood Reporter commented that in this battle for the charts, Link had become 'abandoned by all,' the music industry's 'lonely man.'

Under the influence of these celebrities, sales of Taylor's new album went against the trend and rose, selling 210,000 copies in the new week, and climbing back to the top of the charts after two weeks.

"Last Kiss" had now sold a cumulative 3.44 million copies in the United States, and for an album released less than two months ago, these numbers were not far behind "The Woman I Love" during its initial two months.

The Chicago Tribune commented that if Taylor hadn't been pregnant, and had done more promotion during the publicity period, it would just be a matter of time before she surpassed "The Woman I Love" by Link.

The Los Angeles Times commented that from last year to this year, Link had competed with many artists on the album charts, such as Kanye, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, Usher, and Drake, whom could be tentatively called his 'enemies.'

Now, as he was about to dominate the music industry, his former lover Taylor stood on the opposing side, becoming his rival. It seemed that Link was walking the lonely path of a king, and whether he could still win this time was an unknown.

Surprisingly, amid the pessimistic public opinion, last week's sales of "The Woman I Love" also saw a rebound, reaching 45,000 copies, almost 39,000 more than the previous week, almost an 8-fold increase.

This data angered many netizens. At this point, why were there still people supporting Link? Did those who bought Link's album have no bottom line?

"Could this be a publicity stunt?"

New York, inside a black metal bar, Chris Brown pointed to a "Billboard" magazine and said, "I mean, Link and Taylor broke up in April, and now there's this pregnancy rumor. Could this all be a complete publicity stunt? We all know that, despite the quality of Link and Taylor's album, even if it sells a decent number, it's absolutely impossible to sell three or four million copies. That's just an exaggeration."

"Damn it, they only know how to create hype, manipulate public opinion. A trash album can sell over four million copies. People like Link should be kicked out of the music industry."

T.I. said, annoyed.

Last week, he released his new album "No Mercy," which stayed at the top for only a week before being overtaken by Taylor's album, which really pissed him off.

"Maybe it's not a stunt. Who would have a child just for publicity?"

50 Cent remarked.

"Regardless, I think we should all learn from Link. Last time at the celebration party, Link said that we live in the internet era, the pace of life has been speeding up, and fans' perceptions and tastes are constantly changing. As music creators, we must keep up with these changes to avoid being eliminated.

He also mentioned that the internet is a double-edged sword: while it's easy for the public's attention to be scattered by the sheer volume of information online, if used well, the internet can also be a powerful tool to concentrate public attention. That's why promoting and hyping things up through online platforms have become extremely important. After giving it some thought, I think he's absolutely right,"

Usher said.

Listening to this, Lil Wayne and a few others frowned. As much as they disliked Link, they had to admit the guy was right.

"Mr. Baker is really something, isn't he? I'm not his match when it comes to manipulating public opinion,"

Scott mused as he flipped through the newspapers in the Link Music Company office.

"Boss, I don't think it's your fault. You and Mr. Baker are in different positions, so you see things from different perspectives. Mr. Baker and Miss Swift used to be a couple, and he doesn't mind using publicity to help promote Miss Swift's album. You didn't know the relationship between the two or Mr. Baker's attitude towards Miss Swift, so it's natural you didn't think of this angle,"

his assistant, Alex, said.

Scott shook his head. Although Alex wasn't wrong, when it came to using the internet to create hype and craft news stories, he felt far behind Link.

"Alex, go and notify the PR department for a meeting. Once this storm blows over, we need to consider how to reshape Mr. Baker's image. These things must be handled well, or President Ivanka will think I'm not fit for the role of Marketing Director,"

Scott said, pinching his brow.

During the work meeting in the morning, President Ivanka asked him how he viewed the current situation.

He publicly stated that he thought Link's strategy was better than a cold treatment and expressed a desire to learn from Link.

Afterward, President Ivanka told him that Link was too busy to handle publicity matters and in the future, the Marketing and PR Department had to take responsibility for such issues instead of always bothering him.

President Ivanka's words added to his pressure; he also had to rush to figure out how to make amends.

The competition between Link and Taylor's albums, as well as the "Taylor's pregnancy" news, were reported frequently by the American media for about a week, then guided by the Link Music PR Department, the media focus and public attention switched to the allegations of sexual harassment involving Harvey Weinstein, the founder of the Weinstein Company.

This significantly reduced the pressure on Link.

But before he had a chance to relax, another issue thrust him back into the eye of the public storm—Tesla went public.
