Reborn since 1993

Chapter 494 Hard Control
When they returned to the rented house, Larson brought Jori Kings a set of recording equipment, accompanied by a staff member from the Himalaya website.

This staff member not only acts as Jory Kings' assistant, helping him debug some equipment, but also actually acts as his supervisor.

Given Jori Kings' personality, he's someone who doesn't really listen to the coach or the team boss on the court, so how could he be willing to be watched and supervised?

But the $100,000-a-year contract had already been signed, and with his agent present, Jory Kings didn't dare to throw a tantrum.

After debugging the equipment and entering the simple studio, and trying it out for a while, Jori Kings slowly began to get into the state.

"Welcome to Jori Sports, I am NBA Knicks shooting guard Jori Kings, welcome to my show!"

This opening statement, spoken into a microphone while wearing headphones, was specially set up for Jory Kings by the Himalaya website. If his NBA identity was not mentioned, who would know who he is?
This is also the reason why Larson wants Jorikins to stay in the NBA no matter what. Active NBA players will be of great help in increasing the popularity of his podcast.

“I know that there are always people in the world who worship authority and tell everyone what is right, but are those things that are true necessarily right?”

At first, Jory Kings was still reserved, but he was a person who liked to entertain people, and he became more and more excited as he talked.

"For example, the earth must be round, why can't it be flat?!"

“The horizon we see with our naked eyes is flat, and the earth we see from high altitudes in a helicopter or hot air balloon is still flat!
So, who is promoting the idea that the earth is round?
Only in NASA's photos can we see that the earth is curved. Does that mean NASA must be telling the truth?"

When Jori Kings' agent and the assistant he sent over heard him blasting NASA, their eyes widened.

But Jory Kings was in high spirits and had no scruples about anything. "I have doubts because there is evidence. There are clouds from the Earth behind the moon. There is a global ban on flying over Antarctica because if you fly over Antarctica, you will discover the truth and even enter a parallel universe..."

As Jolly Kings's nonsense became more and more outrageous, his agent couldn't help but cover his face. He suddenly felt that the $100,000 signing fee from Himalaya that year was really hard to get.

Once Jolly Kings' remarks are made public, it is unknown how much ridicule they will cause. He is even afraid that the NBA players under him will run away because they are ashamed to be associated with Jolly Kings.

But at this time, it was impossible to terminate the agreement. Who was Larson? He was the most famous vulture lawyer in New York. How could he leave loopholes in the contract?

The signing fee given to Jory Kings is one hundred thousand dollars a year, but if he wants to break the contract, it is not as simple as breaking the contract. He can't get away without paying him one or two hundred million dollars!

After talking for more than 40 minutes, Jolly Kings finally stopped at the strong request of his agent. The first half of his speech was to promote the flat earth theory, and the second half was to blast NASA as a liar, and even implicitly blasted the American Federation for deceiving Americans.

His agent was really scared and didn't dare to let this American version of the Nine-Leaked Fish speak out anymore. He was afraid that if he continued, Jolly Kings would criticize the President and the gentlemen on Capitol Hill.

“How many people will hear the show I recorded today?!”

After the recording was completed, Jori Kings excitedly asked the assistant of Himalaya website, "After recording today's game, Jori Kings felt that it was more satisfying than scoring 20 points on the court!"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with scolding people. Let go of the moral burden and enjoy an immoral life. Instead of putting yourself in a difficult position, it is better to make things difficult for others. This is exactly what Jolly Kings likes.

"There should be quite a few people. Once the Himalaya website goes online, you should be able to see your work!"

The assistant of the Himalaya website spoke vaguely to Jory Kings, saying that he heard that the website was planning to focus on promoting the programs of the first batch of podcast creators who had settled in Himalaya Radio, not only on the Internet, but also through radio, television, newspapers, magazines and other programs.

By then, the assistant couldn't even imagine how much public opinion there would be in American society because of Jory Kings's statement about the earth's level.

……

"This is the Joe Rogan Experience. Today is our first show and our first guest is Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys!"

An interview was also going on in the studio of a small TV station in Los Angeles. Although the studio was not sophisticated enough and the equipment was a bit rudimentary, the conditions were much better than those at Larry King's.

"Carter, you are one of the earliest members of the Backstreet Boys. Can you tell us why you formed such a band?" The person who spoke was Joe Rogan, a podcaster signed by Larson for Himalaya Radio. Today, the Backstreet Boys were also invited by Himalaya Radio to cooperate with Rogan in the interview.

Both sides got what they wanted. Himalaya wanted to invite celebrities to do interviews to increase their popularity, while Backstreet Boys wanted to promote their band to enter the American record market. The two sides hit it off immediately.

Logan is a grassroots person. He used to be a commentator for UFC unlimited fighting games. Just imagine, how carefully edited and crafted can the commentary of a boxing match be? !
To put it politely, Logan's style is down-to-earth, like the rugged Western cowboy style. To put it bluntly, it is too rough, with various slangs from American states appearing frequently.

Anyway, for New York "elites" like Larson, they don't like Logan's "earthy" interview style.

But Larson observed that when Logan was interviewing the members of the Backstreet Boys, the staff around him smiled knowingly from time to time, and were obviously immersed in the interview with Logan. This included Carter, a member of the idol singer band. Logan was able to get along well with him, making the other party feel relaxed and willing to tell him everything he knew.

This made Larson feel somewhat of Logan's power. He could make the person being interviewed let down their guard and make the people around him immersed in the interview. To be honest, this was not something that most people could do.

Logan is a real grassroots person. He attended a not-so-good university. After graduation, in order to make a living, he worked as a taekwondo coach, security guard, courier, chartered car driver, and even moved bricks at a construction site. In the end, he made a living by being an extra, played a few small roles in Disney soap operas, and then became a commentator.

This experience allowed Logan, who was good at observing people's expressions, to quickly get along with people from all walks of life. To the audience, Logan was just like a neighbor on the street, without the airs of a star. After all, who would refuse to listen to the gossips told by the villagers? !
Larson glanced at Joe Rogan in the recording studio. He felt that this guy might really become a top talk show host like Oprah one day!
In addition to Jolly Kinsey and Joe Rogan, the other podcast creators signed with Himalaya Radio are also recording their own programs in different recording studios.

After Jory Kings and his team finished recording, the content was rushed to the Himalaya Silicon Valley office for processing, and after being digitized, it was uploaded to the backend server.

Now is not the era like in the past when everyone is a self-media. You can shoot with your mobile phone, edit the video, upload it, and then post it on Douyin, so that everyone can see what you have shot.

"What the hell, a two-hour and forty-minute talk show?!"

When Lu Kui, the director of Himalaya's Silicon Valley office, saw Joe Rogan's talk show, he was a little upset. He didn't know what the two could talk about, but they could talk for two or three hours.

"Do you want to edit some of it? Two hours and forty minutes is really too long!" Lu Kui couldn't help but ask Li Dongling.

"Need not!"

Although Li Dongling was also a bit troubled, he still said, "First upload the recordings of other people, and then upload Logan's interview separately. After uploading this time, see how the effect is, and then decide whether to edit Logan's interview recording program in the next issue!"

This unedited, all-talking interview style is Logan's style. If it is edited, it will lose its flavor. Let's see the effect first and then make a decision.

The entire Himalaya Silicon Valley office has become even busier, and new employees are constantly being recruited.

Previously, the office was mainly staffed by website technicians and developers, but now it is mainly recruiting people from operations, content editing, advertising, public relations and other departments. Himalaya's Silicon Valley office was mostly full in just a few days.

……

“We should have the ability and right to think independently and should not be deceived. Existence is reasonable and everything is possible!
As we all know, the end of science is theology. Newton, Galileo, Compton and others all believed in theology in the end... Qiaoli Sports looks forward to seeing you in the next issue! "

Listening to the content of Jolly Kim's show playing on the computer, at the last moment, it was obvious that he was still reluctant to finish the recording.

After listening to it, I originally wanted to see how the Himalaya audio played back on the computer was like and what technical improvements were needed.

But after listening to Jolly Kings' recording, Li Dongling, who already knew what Jolly Kings was going to say, was fine. He was mentally prepared. Besides, all kinds of underworld scenes had appeared in his previous life, and the Flying Spaghetti God Cult had more than tens of millions of believers around the world.

But Yao Luoying, Zhou Hualiang, Lu Kui and a group of Himalaya website staff who heard this theory for the first time were all silenced. It was really Arthur's whispering that silenced and broke the defense. Everyone was controlled by Jory Kings' theory for nearly half a minute before they recovered.

“Does anyone really believe this theory?”

Zhou Hualiang held it in for a long time, and finally asked with a smile on his face.
