There is a saying in Chapter 25 of the Bible New Testament: "Anything that has shall be added to him, so that he shall be redundant; if not, even all of him shall be taken away."

There is also a sentence in Chapter 77 of the ancient Chinese classic "Tao Te Ching": "The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency; the way of man is not the way, and the loss is insufficient to serve the excess."

The two sentences in these two classic literature translate into the current text: "The stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker the weaker the more they are", or it is called the Matthew effect.

Now, the sales volume of Mix's album fully demonstrates what the "Matthew Effect" is.

After the album sales topped the US Billboard charts in the third week, Lin Zhimo's song "not afraid" and Shakira's "only girl" actually occupied the third and fourth positions in the Billboard Singles 100 rankings respectively.

This phenomenon suddenly attracted a lot of attention from people who like music. After all, these two songs were just at the end of the singles chart, but they suddenly rose to the third and fourth positions in just one week. How can this not be noticed?

However, the performance of this album shocked everyone.

After Fanx's album won the sales championship in the third week, it actually grew against the trend again in the fourth week, with sales of 610,000 copies! Still the champion!

In the fifth week, 620,000 are still the champion!

It was not until the seventh week that this huge dark horse in the music industry stopped his consecutive championships and retreated from the championship throne. However, it still occupies the runner-up position, and at the same time, it sold 200,000 more than the third place!

If the sales of the album Mix can be called shocking, then the ranking on the singles chart can be called a miracle.

In the third week, Lin Zhimo's "not afraid" and Shakira's "only girl" were in the third and fourth week, but in the fourth week they became the first and second!

Next, the singles rankings seemed to have become the back garden of this album. With the first and second place, the "love the way lie" in the album emerged and became the fifth on the singles chart without any warning!

Three singles from the same album occupy three places in the top five!

Everyone was shocked by the performance of the fantasy. Countless musicians who released films at the same time regretted it. I thought that no big-name singers released films at this time would be a great opportunity for them to perform, but no one expected that Lin Zhimo and Shakira would give everyone a heavy blow.

However, things are not over yet. The glory of Mix continues.

The next week, the ranking of the song "love the way lie" rose all the way. In the end, Shakira's "only girl" successfully squeezed out "only girl" to become the runner-up on the singles chart, while the song "only girl" still did not retain its third place. It was the fourth place this week. The third place also comes from an album called Mix!

The name of this song is "teenage life"!

It's still a song sung by Lin Zhimo!

Everyone was crazy. Four songs from the top five singles were instantly from the same album, and they also ranked in the top four respectively. This is a unique thing in the history of the US Billboard, and no one has done this before!

Next, in the sixth week, Lin Zhimo's "not aufraid" left the championship throne, but the successor was still his song, which was "teenage life".

Two champion singles on one album!

This achievement is enough to re-enter the history of American music.

Lin Zhimo, a "first me" in China, emerged and won the highest sales of the newcomer album of the year in one fell swoop. Now it seems that even in the United States, this is still no exception.

The next week, Mix's album sales began to decline significantly, but at this time the sales of the entire album had reached 5 million horror results, and its sales were still growing upward.

Lin Zhimo was very tired during this period because he needed to shoot MVs for his singles, run promotions, etc. It was precisely because of the timely release of these singles that so many regular customers on the rankings emerged in this album.

You should know that there are three ways to release singles. The first is to release before a regular album, which is the so-called trial of the waters; the second is to release it with the album, which is usually done by singers who have been famous for a long time; the third is to release the same method as Lin Zhimo and Shakira, which is placed behind the regular album and reshoot the MV release single, which is also the choice of many newcomers in the music industry.

Now, relying on the excellent quality of the album itself, fans have increasingly strong demand for singles, so Lin Zhimo and Shakira have been shooting MVs continuously for this period of time. It can be said that they are very tired both physically and mentally.

"Sister Wen, how are the things arranged in the United States?"

On this day, Lin Zhimo finally had to rest. Due to the popularity of Lin Zhimo in the United States during this period, he had to call his agent Huo Xiwen to the United States, otherwise Lin Zhimo would not be able to handle these things every day.

"No big problem, the itinerary and other things have been prepared in advance. You can relax in the next period of time. After all, you have also said that songs are not your main business in the United States in the future."

Huo Xiwen looked at Lin Zhimo's slightly black eyes and said with heartache: "Zhimo, you don't have to be so anxious. I don't know how many people have achieved the results you have achieved now, so there is no need to work so hard."

Lin Zhimo sighed, closed his eyes and leaned on the backrest of the sofa and said, "How come I don't know, but I am used to being busy and can't rest."

Lin Zhimo naturally knew how big the sensation he caused during this period. Now, no one in the United States who pays attention to the entertainment industry does not know his name. Moreover, because of Lin Zhimo's identity as a Chinese person, he has caused widespread response even in society. Even Zeng Mengquan, the uncle of the Central Propaganda Department, who is far away in China, called and specifically reminded him to pay attention to his image.

According to Zeng Mengquan, Lin Zhimo is no longer just an entertainment star. To some extent, he also represents the image of Chinese people abroad, so he hopes that Lin Zhimo will not say anything that will cause ambiguity. Of course, he finally added that you can't cause trouble. But you must not be afraid of trouble.

Lin Zhimo was quite helpless about Zeng Mengquan's instructions. You should know that he is a star in the entertainment industry, and which star in the entertainment industry lacks news. Even if there is no news, those reporters will create news for you, and they will make a living by it.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhimo was about to say something, and he heard Huo Xiwen's cell phone ringing.

"Hello. Hello." Huo Xiwen didn't recognize the number displayed on his phone.

But after a while, the expression on Huo Xiwen's face became excited: "Okay. OK, thank you for your invitation. We will definitely go over and record the show. OK, goodbye!"

Seeing Huo Xiwen's somewhat excited expression, Lin Zhimo asked, "Which show is it?"

In recent times, as Lin Zhimo's name has been mentioned and his fame has continued to rise, he has selected to appear on many TV shows. However, in those shows, Lin Zhimo feels that he is more regarded as a fresh product, and all his behaviors seem to have become animals in the zoo and are sensational.

In fact, strictly speaking, these stars are animals in the zoo, but these animals have their own ideas and fans. No one in the world would say that they entered the entertainment industry completely to devote themselves to art.

But Lin Zhimo didn't know if it was his illusion or what was going on. He always felt that he didn't feel much respect on those shows. Maybe their words were very polite, but they still had a high attitude towards themselves.

Lin Zhimo also told Huo Xiwen about his feelings, but now Huo Xiwen knows that he is unhappy with American programs and still shows this expression, which only shows that this program is very influential in Huo Xiwen's opinion.

“Opra Show.”

Huo Xiwen did not hide it, nor did he deliberately tease Lin Zhimo as usual. She told Lin Zhimo with an excited expression.

As Lin Zhimo's agent, as Lin Zhimo grew into a star with some fame in the world, Huo Xiwen naturally had a big star that ordinary people could not easily reach. But even so, Huo Xiwen still had a fan mentality about Oprah. This is not only because of Oprah's achievements. It is indeed admirable that she has achieved her current achievements as a woman or a black woman, but what Huo Xiwen prefers is her strong spirit of not giving up in adversity.

Oprah is more of an idol to Hoshivin than an existence similar to a spiritual mentor.

When Lin Zhimo recorded the Oprah Show last time, Huo Xiwen did not follow him in China, but she still asked Lin Zhimo to ask for an Oprah signature. Now that she has the opportunity to meet her idol in person, Huo Xiwen is naturally very excited.

However, Huo Xiwen was not entirely because of this, so he rashly agreed to this interview for Lin Zhimo.

As a qualified agent, it is a necessary quality to always pay attention to the status of his artist. Huo Xiwen naturally knows that Lin Zhimo is tired of variety shows. However, Huo Xiwen also knows that Lin Zhimo has a good impression of the last Oprah show, or has a good impression, and this interview was only interviewed by Lin Zhimo.

So, after hearing Oprah Xiu's invitation to Lin Zhimo again, Huo Xiwen agreed without asking Lin Zhimo's attitude.
