Chapter 343: Zhang Huasong's Foreign Fans
New York City, Stars and Stripes, 13 hours behind Peking time.
At 7:40 p.m. Peking time on February 24 and 6:40 a.m. New York time in the Stars and Stripes, a young white man jumped out of bed at the sound of an alarm clock.
Get up, get dressed, turn on the computer.
Then I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and sat down in front of the computer with the bread and milk I had prepared the night before.
Look at the time, at 6:52, 7 o'clock is the time for the first single MV "Zhang Huasong: Victory!", the king of track and field he admires, to be launched simultaneously around the world.
His name is Antti Hobbs and he is a programmer at an IT company in New York City.
The nature of Hobbes' work dictates his introverted personality and sub-healthy physical state, so he admires sports stars who are physically strong.
At first, he admired Asafa Powell, because in previous years Powell was the world record holder in the 100-meter dash who best represented the human speed limit.
He hopes that he also has Powell's physique and speed, and can be admired and praised by everyone at the speed of being the best in the world.
However, when Zhang Huasong from China broke Powell's world record in the 2007 World Championships in the 100m trapeze battle, beating Powell and Guy to win the championship, Hobbs was shocked.
Although Zhang Huasong looks stronger than ordinary people, he is also very limited.
In terms of muscles and body type, Zhang Huasong is weaker than Powell, and he does not have the feeling of muscle explosion like Powell, Guy and others, which is very consistent with Hobbes's perception of Asian body shape.
Hobbs felt unbelievable that such a slightly thin man on the track and field could defeat Powell and Guy to win the championship and break the world record.
At first, he, like many other Europeans and Americans, felt that Zhang Huasong's results were fake. Even if the International Anti-Doping Agency confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Zhang's drug test, Hobbs thought the same.
However, it turned out later that Zhang Huasong's record-breaking World Championship victory was not a flash in the pan through doping.
Later, Zhang Huasong broke the world record again and again, won the world championship again and again, and crossed so many different events, and even achieved an unprecedented ten championships at the Peking Olympics, and was recognized as the king of track and field all over the world.
At this time, he began to face up to Zhang Huasong's achievements. Then, he discovered more advantages of Zhang Huasong!
Study well, graduate early, know multiple foreign languages, be able to compose lyrics and music, and sing, no gossip and scandals, emotional single-mindedness, self-discipline, no unhealthy hobbies, etc., is simply a clear stream among stars.
Hobbs doesn't like a star like Djokovic, who is so skilled and talented, but spends most of his energy off the field.
There are also many Brazilian football stars, who also get carried away once they become famous, going to night clubs, clubbing, playing with women, taking drugs, etc., Hobbes is very disgusted, and feels that this kind of person is not worthy of worship.
There is only Zhang Huasong, the more he understands, the more he feels that this person is worthy of his respect and worship!
Gradually, Hobbs became a fan of Zhang Huasong!
Zhang Huasong's competition highlights again and again, award ceremonies, news reports, and even Zhang Huasong's "I'm Waiting for You in Qianzhou" sung live at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in Qianzhou Province, China, he has intercepted the video for collection.
Not to mention the album record of Zhang Huasong's "Fly Higher", Hobbs bought 10 copies to show his actual support for Zhang Huasong.
After listening to this record, Hobbes liked several songs very much, and he also translated those lyrics deliberately, and then found that several songs contained positive and inspirational lyrics.
"I want to fly into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun, the world is waiting for me to change. ”
"I never chose to give up on my ideals, even in the days of disgrace. ”
"I know the kind of happiness I want, in that higher sky. ”
"I'm going to fly higher, fly higher. Dance like a storm and break free from your embrace. ”
A lot of the lyrics make Hobbes empathize.
This made him look forward to Zhang Huasong's next song even more!
With Zhang Huasong beating Nadal in a long match time of 7 hours and 18 minutes at the Australian Open Grand Slam, Hobbs even invited a dozen colleagues in the company's office to a meal to celebrate.
As a result, everyone knew that he admired Zhang Huasong.
This time, Zhang Huasong will release the news of the new single MV "Zhang Huasong: Victory!" at the same time at 20 p.m. Peking time on February 24 and 7 a.m. New York time, and Hobbes naturally noticed it immediately.
Hobbs, who usually has to play two games when he gets home at night, didn't play games last night, but went to bed early, just to get up early this morning to watch "Zhang Huasong: Victory!".
Sitting in front of the computer, putting the bread and milk aside, and opening the YouTube website first, Hobbs saw a large banner on the homepage, and there were still a few minutes of countdown to the global release of the MV for "Zhang Huasong: Victory!"
Hobbes clicked in from the banner, and the MV really hasn't been released yet, but it can already be commented on, and the number of comments has reached hundreds of thousands, which can be called terrifying!
Then, Hobbes saw a variety of English, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese languages dancing in the comment area.
YouTube users come from all over the world, and it's normal for multiple Chinese languages to appear in the comment section.
Looking at the English comments that he could understand, they were all fans of Zhang Huasong, who was waiting for the official launch of the MV of "Zhang Huasong: Victory!" like Hobbs.
Hobbes didn't comment, but laughed and ate breakfast while looking at other people's comments.
The affirmation and support of these people for Zhang Huasong made him very happy!
Time passed slowly, and when the time in the lower right corner jumped to 7 o'clock, Hobbs, who was already holding the mouse, immediately refreshed the web page.
Then, sure enough, the video appeared! The title is indeed "Zhang Huasong: Victory!"
However, it's not the official music video that's being played, it's an advertisement. But 5 seconds after the ad starts, you can click skip.
Hobbes moved the mouse over the ad close button, and after 5 seconds, he decisively clicked the close button!
Then, the picture turned, and the picture of the men's 100-meter trapeze battle at the 2007 World Championships appeared!
Hobbs was stunned for a moment, didn't he say that this was Zhang Huasong's single MV?
However, before he could think more, the background music of the video sounded!
When the first note of the music reached Hobbes's ears, Hobbes was stunned: why is this rhythm, this melody, so good?
It seems that although the video is not a new MV, just a collection of Zhang Huasong's competitions, the prelude of the song is still very material, but I don't know whether the back is sung in Chinese or English, or what other language.
Hopefully in English, he can understand.
