Tang Jinmao's execution ability is truly remarkable.
This person has one good point: when it comes to something he can't fully understand but can clearly see where the benefit lies, once he agrees to it, he'll go all in, betting everything.
All I ask for is to ultimately achieve a resounding victory, a complete win, a super multiplier win until I'm ecstatic.
It seems that the foundation of the future Yingzong sect was innate.
Such a bold and decisive bet.
For a considerable period afterward, the entire North American music scene was swept up by that record of the century.
Yu Zhen put a lot of effort into selecting these ten hit songs for Century Records, racking his brains to the bone.
One of the ten super hits, the first one to be revealed, "My Heart Will Go On," needs no further introduction. Century Records also took this as its theme and named it "Echoes of Eternity."
The list of the other nine hit songs is as follows:
1. "We Will Rock You" is Queen's most famous song, featuring the iconic moment when tens of thousands of people clapped and stomped their feet together. The song is characterized by its upbeat rhythm and catchy tune, without any complicated or technically demanding arrangements. It is best suited for street performances or large-scale sing-alongs at major sporting events.
Upon its release, the song quickly became the most popular and widely sung single in the United States.
2. "Billie Jean", Michael Jackson's signature song, needs no further explanation.
In addition, in order to create a record of the century, Yu Zhen specially asked Tang Jinmao to find MJ, who was not yet a big star at the time and was still only a little famous in the music industry. Then, the song was licensed to MJ to perform the first performance.
In a way, it also helped MJ achieve fame in the industry earlier.
3. "Hotel California" In a sense, this song is undoubtedly the one that best reflects the social context of North America at that time. It can be said that as soon as this song was released, it made Yu Zhen, a great writer from the East, the foreigner who understood North American life the most.
4. "I Will I Always Love You"
5. *Bohemian Rhapsody*
6. Thriller
7. *Stairway to Heaven*
8. Hey Jude
9. *Imagine*
The ten carefully selected hit songs have all withstood the most rigorous tests of time and market popularity in another time and space.
It is a rare gem, a top-tier classic.
All ten songs of this caliber were included in one album.
What's even more incredible is that 5 million copies will be distributed free of charge to the world.
Mom, let's be honest, given this situation, looking at the whole world, which other opponent has the courage and confidence to stand up and challenge Tang Jinmao?
Not a single opponent dared to take the challenge!
There's no way around it; this is the kind of barbaric and unreasonable way music record promotion and production is carried out.
This single act propelled Donald Trump to godfather-like status in the American music scene, and also fundamentally altered the ecological balance of the entire music industry.
The combination of record distribution and free promotion has thus become the industry's recognized best standard.
To put it more bluntly, both inside and outside the industry, anyone who wants to release an album to make money in the future, not to mention whether the album will even sell, at the very least, can the quality of the songs selected for their album match that of this century's album that combines Chinese and foreign elements?
This has become the benchmark that musicians are vying to achieve.
If you can't meet such a standard, who would dare to release a record, especially if they want to make money from records? They would be drowned in the spittle of music fans all over the world.
He made a name for himself in the North American music scene, and his record of the century was distributed for free worldwide, with 5 million copies released.
Tang Jinmao, a fool with plenty of money, was completely fooled by Yu Zhen and developed a burning ambition to become the emperor of North America. As a result, in this wave of popularity, the name of Yu Zhen, the great writer of the East, shone even brighter.
One of the consequences that followed.
Yu Zhen's status as a top TV host was thus elevated to that of a true superstar in the United States.
This includes the super live talk show he spearheaded.
Now, under his subtle influence and minor adjustments, it has gradually evolved into a weekly live variety show.
What's most remarkable is that its viewership ratings have consistently ranked number one in the United States.
These days, the waiting list for American entertainment celebrities who want to sign up to be interview guests on a show is already six months in advance.
During the promotion of Century Records, two of the ten hit songs were specially selected for Michael Jackson to perform.
Thus, the still immature American music king MJ has now transformed into Yu Zhen's most admired and adoring fanboy, and Yu Zhen's regular assistant guest host.
The format of the host team that Yu Zhen is playing with.
Without much thought, it's a perfect imitation of popular variety shows from another time and space, such as "Day Day Up," "Happy Family," "Hello Saturday," and "Ace vs Ace."
He perfectly integrated these extremely popular variety shows, discarding the dross and retaining the essence, and then launched them through live streaming.
In that case, they would dominate the entire North American television industry, becoming virtually invincible.
And the most, most, most important point.
That undoubtedly means that any innovative form of the show is firmly bound to him, making it impossible for the TV station's behind-the-scenes capital tycoon to find a substitute in the short term.
Yu Zhen's goal is simple and direct: to completely turn his personal image into an IP and operate it as such.
This allowed his influence as a cultural celebrity to subtly integrate into the entire American cultural circle, until one day, even if someone wanted to target him, find a replacement, or use him for other purposes.
By then, he will have enough confidence to openly and frankly say "no no no" to many things that he dislikes.
The right to speak—that's what he's been quietly and subtly seeking all along: the right to speak his mind freely within international cultural circles.
As for other things, such as making huge sums of money and befriending well-known figures in the North American arts and culture scene like Michael Jackson.
Those are actually just incidental benefits from the dungeon.
Even so, as the saying goes, many hands make light work. With one more celebrity in the North American arts scene like Michael Jackson, he would have one more friend and one more path to take.
And the most crucial point is that in the arts and culture circle, what people are truly competing with is the wisdom within their clever minds, their cultural depth, and the quality of programs that can truly be enjoyed by hundreds of millions of television viewers.
Unless the behind-the-scenes rival admits that they are not as smart as him, and that they cannot compete with him in terms of cultural background, this American who came from afar, and acknowledges that even if the whole country and its people are united, they still cannot defeat him alone.
So they decided to use the most primitive and violent means to destroy him.
Of course, given the current international situation, such a dire situation is unlikely to occur.
After all, as we've said, the official channels between East America and China are strongly advocating for comprehensive cultural exchange and cooperation, and the honeymoon period has only just begun.
Both sides are watching to see what kind of success this cross-cultural figure can achieve.
At least for the next ten years, the US is unlikely to take drastic measures against a cultural figure like him.
