The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 858: Parade Across America (2)

"Now everyone can clearly see that although the heads of the New York State government and the relevant federal government departments have expressed their apologies to Spike, it is clear that it is not just Columbia University students who are supporting Spike.

"Take the parade next to me as an example. There are many middle-aged people around 35 years old among them. Regardless of gender, at this moment, they all stand under the Phoenix flag and hold up the bright red candles in their hands to express their love and blessings for Spike..."

Jennifer Moran, a beautiful brown-haired reporter wearing the CNN logo, stood outside the parade safety line set up by the Manhattan police. She faced her camera and waved her right hand as she continued to capture the grand parade scene at sunset.

"According to information confirmed by the police, there are nearly 1,700 people who spontaneously participated in the march. The Manhattan police have dispatched a large number of police forces to maintain stability at the scene - ah!"

“Put on your war paint!!!”

Before Jennifer Moran could finish her words, a bald old man with sweat all over his forehead suddenly leaned over and half of his body entered the picture on the route of the parade. He raised a candle in one hand and made a rock and roll gesture with the other hand, and shouted loudly, scaring the female reporter so much that she trembled!
She was panicking too.

The bald man's muscular body is made of fat and looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with. Add to that the black leather jacket and the dense tattoos on his arms, and you would think he is a member of the New York underground gang if you don't know him.

The emotions of the men and women around the sturdy man seemed to be ignited by this sentence. They stopped and faced the CNN multi-camera camera, with veins on their foreheads or backs of their hands popping out, and screamed -

“Put on your war paint!!!”

“Put on your war paint!!!”

“Put on your war paint!!!”

It was like calling friends, or like looking for like-minded teammates in front of the camera that would be broadcast across the United States to join their parade that would last for more than one day.

Holding a candle in one hand and rocking in the other——

Slogans that normally sound extremely childish become incredibly passionate once they are paired with rock gestures!

Not to mention that the words they shouted came from the rock song "The Phoenix" in Zhou Yi's new album - the first sentence of the song.

The nearby police officers took a quick look and thought it was no big deal, so they were too lazy to move.

Only the startled female reporters and cameramen were surrounded and dared not move, with professional smiles on their faces.

After the slogans were shouted, these people shouted again and caught up with the large group in front.

“We are the jack-o-lanterns in July!
“Setting fire to the sky!
"Here, here comes this rising tide!
"So come on!"

Rhythmic rock songs were played on speakers that were carried by people, and together with the parade crowd, they tried their best to infect passers-by along the way and even temporarily recruited people to join in, sowing the seeds of "support Spike" into the hearts of all who saw this scene!
In July in New York, a heat wave originating from the phoenix is ​​coming!
The artists from China were all stunned when they saw the team visiting.

They are not people who have not seen the world, not to mention that there has never been a lack of parades in the Taiwanese and Hong Kong entertainment industries.

But, to put it bluntly, in the past, it was either internal fighting among each other or opposition to foreigners, etc.

There has never been a case like Zhou Yi, where there was an endless stream of foreigners waving flags and shouting slogans to protest for a Chinese person.

They know that Zhou Yi is very popular abroad, even more popular than Cheng Long. But to what extent, most people don’t really have much idea, except for a few big names like Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun who are often invited to participate in activities and film festivals abroad.

Now, they have.

It is still extremely intuitive and I can see with my naked eyes just how popular the Zhouyi is.

Fan Bingbing, with shock in his eyes, sat in the car, looking through the car window at the Phoenix flag held high over there, his eyebrows were filled with passion——

This act of dominating foreigners in the field of music is tantamount to expanding territory, which makes her yearn for it.

“This is Zhouyi.”

Cai Zhuoyan and other Emperor Entertainment Group artists are chattering.

It was the first time Xie Tingfeng had seen such a scene in the United States. He suppressed his shock, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled;
Although he didn't say anything from beginning to end, Jay Chou, who was really determined to catch up with Jay Chou, sat in the car, staring at the noisy parade for a long time without saying a word, until the car slowly drove away from the block.

After settling down in the hotel and putting away their luggage, the group of people formed groups of two or three and agreed on a time to visit Zhou Yi in the hospital ward.

Fan Xiaopang, Qin Lan and others, who had dressed up carefully, had even imagined various scenarios of their meeting with Zhou Yi at that time. However, what they did not expect was that the person responsible for receiving them outside the hospital was Cheng Hao.

"Thank you. It's not convenient for Zhou Yi to show up outside right now..."

At a glance, they saw several female stars who were dressed up carefully. While Cheng Hao was responsible for dealing with people, the undoubted host demeanor he displayed was a little too strong for them.

What made these female stars even more heartbroken was the closeness between Cheng Hao and Zhou Yi's parents.

"Uncle, aunt, leave Zhou Yi to me. Don't worry, go back to the hotel with Yan Zi to rest. You've been exhausted from the long journey, so you should get some rest first."

"Hey, okay. Oh, without you two, we two old men wouldn't know what to do. We'd be so anxious..."

"Nothing, uncles and aunts, you are just too concerned..." After glancing at a few vaguely graceful actresses and nodding to say hello, Sun Yanzi, who was supporting Zhou Yi's mother, Ms. Zhao Ping, smiled sweetly and happily acted as a "guide".

Fuck!
Forget about Cheng Hao, but what are you so proud of?!

Fan Xiaopang narrowed his fox eyes slightly. He was angry but helpless.

It's because she came late and had no way to contact parents.

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at it and didn't take it seriously at all—she didn't even take Fan Bingbing seriously.

They are just a bunch of little girls who have never experienced the ups and downs of life.

But this Cheng Hao made her smell something - the unique smell of those women who were able to manage a family in the past.

In the ward, they also saw the man who had stirred up the North American public opinion circle with one hand—

Although he was still wearing a hospital gown, his spirit was no different from usual.

"Yanzi said you can drink milk tea. They don't have it in New York, so I brought this from Taiwan for you. It has pearls and coconut."

Jay Chou, who was not interested in the women's thoughts, raised the bag in his hand and said in a pretentious tone, "I'll help you satisfy your craving."

Xie Tingfeng sent a fruit basket as normal.

After all, these two have had a special milk tea bond since their debut.

.............................................

"Good evening, dear listeners, welcome to listen..."

The news presentation on the radio made CNN's main news anchor Anderson Cooper sit in his office for a long time without getting up.

"The parade held in Manhattan this evening was a complete success. The candles praying for Spike formed a phoenix pattern on the campus of Columbia University, the final destination, which caused a huge sensation on the Internet.

"According to the predictions of relevant organizations, the success of this parade is very likely to lead to similar parades in most of the 50 states and 1 District of Columbia..."

Anderson Cooper's case also had a stack of videotapes on it.

That was the footage shot by the TV crew that visited the scene in the evening. He had already seen it and was watching it over and over again.

He was thinking—

As an old American, he graduated from Yale University, where he studied political science and international relations, and also interned at the Central Intelligence Agency.

In 1995, he joined ABC News after graduation and began hosting the evening news program in 1999. In 2001, he switched to CNN News and became the host of CNN's weekend prime time program from the following year.

He even has his own nickname in the American press - Silver Fox.

After noticing the phoenix wave that started in Manhattan, New York, he, with his keen sense of smell, immediately sent TV reporters to shoot footage.

Now, he is wondering whether he should take a gamble and pay a big price to get an exclusive interview with Spike during his comeback.

The Iraq War, even the most pro-American professors knew that it violated international law, so there was constant opposition in the country. Now there is the Spike incident.

What if Warner - no, based on his investigation and understanding of Little Edgar, Warner will definitely launch a parade frenzy in all states across the United States to maximize Spike's interests.

It’s just that the leaders of CNN News Channel are a little hesitant to believe it.

After all, this would obviously touch the sensitive nerves of the White House, and little Edgar could not be unaware of it.

There are marches in every state across the United States. What kind of treatment is that?

Moreover, since ABC and other TV stations are now keeping a close eye on Spike, a big news point, if they want to be the first to get the exclusive, they will inevitably spend a lot of money.

He also asked relevant well-informed people through his own connections, and they replied tonight - it was obvious that they were also very passive about Spike's attack, which directly led to Spike's path to becoming a god in public opinion.

Neither the CIA nor the FBI could do anything to stop it at this time.

That is public opinion.

Coupled with the huge vortex of party disputes holding it back, the White House is now completely lame. Bush Jr. is so busy that he wishes he could ask God to bring back the greatest cripple in American history.

"Boss, I guarantee with my reputation and position that we will definitely get the exclusive deal for Spike. You know my past internship experience, and I have received accurate information. Our efforts will not go to waste."

TV station leaders are not afraid of heavy bleeding——

What I’m afraid of is that the news I get after the heavy bleeding won’t be broadcast.

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

"I think you should know what this decision means. You are already a prime-time news anchor. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"

"Boss, I don't think this is an adventure..."

Anderson Cooper's tone was firm.

Although the freedom, democracy and equality of the United States were coerced into fooling people, it has been fooling people for so many years and is now reaping the fruits of its own labor.

Public opinion is surging and no one can stop it now.

What's more, behind Edgar Jr. stands the Bronfman family's investment consortium, whose network of relationships spans all over Europe and the United States.

In fact, just as Anderson Cooper guessed, little Edgar was really busy -

Not only did he use Warner's channels, he even used his connections as the head of the Bronfman Investment Group to find American grassroots democracy advocacy organizations and allocated them an additional sum of money.

Parades cost money—

Generate electricity with love?

Yes, but it will never be successful.

How big a face do all 50 states in the United States plus Washington, D.C. need to have to get the people to take to the streets spontaneously?

If Spike died, he probably could have done it, but he didn't.

Not only is he not dead, he is also alive and well.

"Isn't that fake news? Spike hasn't shown up yet. If he's really okay, why wouldn't he come out?"

Houston, Texas.

As a Rockets fan, Montgomery York likes Yao Ming very much. He also loves Spike, Yao Ming's fellow countryman.

He is also a member of the Spike Fan Club in Houston.

Tonight, their president, after seeing the CNN news, slammed the table and announced that they would also hold a march in Houston to support Spike, and gave reasons why he believed Spike was very likely still in danger.

"Spike is practicing peace in his own way, and we should support him in our own way. I will buy candles, make custom clothes and flags, and purchase speakers out of my own pocket, and then distribute them for free. I just want you to follow my lead!"

"with!"

"Swear to support Spike!"

"with!"

Montgomery was startled and raised his hand to follow -

Since it doesn't cost any money, he can just ask for leave from the company when the time comes.

The president was obviously very satisfied with his friends' enthusiasm: "Okay, remember to bring Spike's new album when the time comes. We must all hold the album during the parade. Some people didn't hold the album in Manhattan. It's obvious that they were not well prepared."

Now it's Montgomery's turn to be in trouble - because he didn't buy Spike's new album.

To be precise, he didn't have the physical body of Spike's new album.

He is an Apple iPod user and chose to buy the electronic version in the Apple Music Store, which makes it more convenient for him to listen to it anytime and anywhere - the iPod is much more convenient than traditional walkman or CD player.

"What's wrong, York?"

"No, it's fine. Just wondering when to start."

"It will be quick, don't worry."

"..."

Fine.

With the idea of ​​buying a random copy, Montgomery, who had just finished the party, stopped when he passed by the video store he used to go to.

"boss."

"Hey York, you haven't come to my store to buy records in two years, what's going on today?"

"I'm going to participate in a parade in support of Spike. The president will cover all the materials, but we have to bring a copy of Spike's new album. Give me one." Montgomery lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke.

"Spike's new album? Monster?"

The boss, with a cigarette in his mouth, frowned: "Why do you want to buy all of them at once? I'm out of stock."

The black guy who was still smoking slowly typed a question mark: "?"

What the hell?
July 7, Sacramento, California—

"Spike's new album? There are only three left. Divide them among yourselves."

Another record store owner, faced with customers coming in groups to buy albums, spread his hands in frustration.

No. 30

Las Vegas, Nevada.

A metropolis that is famous for tourism, gambling, and shopping has also seen a rare "Spike's new album is out of stock" rumor...
