People who watched it also commented.
"No, Mike is really a dancing genius."
"Mike's dancing is more imposing!"
"Mike dances cooler than that Chinese!"
"Guys, Mike is really good at dancing, but this dance was founded by a Chinese named Zheng Xiao."
"Look, Mike dances well, and the Chinese dance is not bad! I think the style is not quite the same! ”
"Hah! Did Mike even do the horseback dancing? This will bring a gust of wind, and it is estimated that many people will start dancing on horseback, and they will be recorded and uploaded on video! ”
Michael's video of dancing on horseback has made the popularity of horseback dancing rise dramatically.
A lot of American stars, like Angelina. Julie, Justin. Bieber, Vin Diesel, Anne Hathaway, Britney Spears and many others rushed to the stage, and everyone started dancing and uploading videos of their dancing to YouTube.
For a while, the front page of YouTube was full of videos of superstars dancing on horseback.
And people from all walks of life in the United States have joined in.
Servicemen of the Navy do a horse dance on an aircraft carrier, nurses do a horse dance in the wards, workers do a horse dance in the workshop.
In short, YouTube is full of videos of horse riding dances.
Mr. Chen has been very happy these days, and often smiles so much that he can't close his mouth.
The number of hits on the three videos he uploaded soared all the way, and they all soared to more than 100 million views. Moreover, horse riding dance is very popular in the United States.
Even the superstar Jackson is dancing on horseback.
It is said that US President George W. Bush also performed a horseback riding dance at a ball at the White House.
Horse dancing is really popular.
These three videos have brought Mr. Chen tens of thousands of dollars in advertising revenue in a short period of time, which is really not too cool.
The horseback riding dance became popular, and Zheng Xiao's name also became popular in the United States.
A number of media outlets in the United States, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, ********, and Fox TV, have reported on the boom in horse dancing.
And if you want to report on horse riding, you naturally have to find an original creator to do an interview.
Reporters from several major media outlets in China asked for Zheng Xiao's contact information through various channels and found the door.
The first to find Zheng Xiao was Julia, a reporter for the New York Times.
At that time, Zheng Xiao's three videos had only been uploaded to YouTube for less than a day.
Julia is a Caucasian woman in her thirties, with blonde hair and blue eyes, tall and ********, and is a standard blonde beauty. She called Zheng Xiao first.
"Hello! Is it Zheng Xiao? She asked in fluent Mandarin after getting through the phone.
"I am, who are you?" Zheng Xiao didn't know at this time that it was a foreigner who called her. Because Julia's Chinese language is too authentic.
"I'm Julia, the China correspondent for the New York Times, and I wonder if you know that your horse dancing is all the rage in the United States right now?" Julia said.
"Know, thank you for informing me." Zheng Xiao said with a smile.
The New York Times reporters came to the door, which means that they also decided that their performance was going to be popular in the United States.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go to such great lengths to send reporters to China to contact me and do this interview.
"Mr. Zheng, that's the case, I want to interview you in person, I don't know if it's okay?" Julia made her own request.
"No problem! Come here, right? I'm here at Jiatai Tower, and I'll pick you up when you arrive. Zheng Xiao agreed.
The opportunity to interview the New York Times is not so easy to get.
Since it was sent to the door, there is no reason to refuse.
Julia came quickly, and she arrived within half an hour of hanging up the phone.
Zheng Xiao went down to pick her up, and didn't go back to the office, but found a booth in a café and sat down.
"Mr. Zheng, in fact, I have followed you before, I have watched many of your TV shows, you are indeed a talented young man, your talent is shocking and incredible!" Julia smiled and complimented.
"Thank you for the compliment." Zheng Xiao replied with a smile.
"You're really great, I'd like to ask you a few questions, okay?" Julia said.
"If you ask questions, as long as you can answer them, I know everything!" Zheng Xiao said.
"Excuse me, were you surprised that your video went viral on YouTube?" Julia asked the first question.
"It's quite surprising, I didn't expect that the cultural differences are so big, and so many American netizens will have such a strong resonance with my performance, and I want to say thank you to every American friend who likes me for their support! I hope you will continue to like me in the future. Zheng Xiao replied with a smile.
It's all clichés, and it doesn't make much sense.
"Did you know? A lot of Americans are learning to ride a horse, everyone loves this video, many people watch it over and over again, what do you think are the reasons why horse riding dance is loved by Americans? Julia asked again.
"After learning that my performance video became a hit video after it was uploaded to YouTube, and it was clicked hundreds of thousands of times on the same day, I was also thinking about this question, I think, probably because this dance rhythm is relatively bright, with hip-hop style, funny, relaxed and a little humorous, and it is easy to learn and dance freely, so there are so many people watching so many people learning, right?" Zheng Xiao made the following analysis.
"Mr. Zheng, with the popularity of this video, you are likely to become popular in the United States, may I ask, are you interested in developing your acting career in the United States?" Julia asks a third question.
Zheng Xiao shook her head: "I think that if I go to the United States to develop, it is likely that I will not be able to adapt to the water and soil, so I should stay in China with peace of mind and open up the hot land of China." ”
"Your talent for imitation is amazing, and based on that, I think you must have a high acting talent as well, when will you develop into the film and television industry?" Julia asked again.
"Thank you! I will also try to develop my acting talents, as for when to develop into the film and television industry, there is no timetable for the time being, so let it be! Zheng Xiao replied.
The interview went well, and after about forty minutes, it was done.
In the following day or two, several American media made appointments to interview Zheng Xiao.
An interview with Zheng Xiao in the New York Times was soon published in the same newspaper, and the report took up a large page, almost the size of a full-page four-page page.
As soon as this news came out, it was quickly noticed by the media in China.
The news was first reprinted by reference news, and then other major mainstream newspapers and influential TV stations began to report the news about Zheng Xiao's popularity in the United States. (To be continued.) )
