Chapter Eighty-Eight: Westward Expansion
When Billy Thornton walked away from the stadium with the American Idol crew, the expression on everyone's face was a dreary look.
The reporters at the scene frantically pressed the shutter to freeze Billy Thornton's pale face on the film. While the reporters were shooting, they were still thinking about what kind of headline should be used for tomorrow's headlines in order to achieve the effect of attracting attention.
These reporters are even more excited than the young people who are going crazy.
As far as you can think of on your knees, what they witnessed was Link's head-on defeat of the mighty "American Idol".
How strong is American Idol? These journalists know better than anyone.
Whether it is the innate advantage, or the huge influence of the 'American Dream', plus the three heavyweight stars of the entertainment industry, these things add up to produce a sensational chemical reaction.
However, it failed!
And in the head-on battle, the defeat was complete.
Although the first premiere tomorrow, what the ratings will be, no one can say clearly. But the 'clash of two armies' in Atlanta was enough to blow up newspaper sales.
Sure enough, as no one expected.
Early the next morning, the results of the overnight overtime work of the major newspapers were released. The headlines that stinged people's eyeballs sparked a panic buying frenzy.
The newspaper giants who were still advocating "American Idol" a few days ago all turned their guns neatly today, and used sharp headlines to bombard Billy Thornton to the scum.
No one remembers how confident he was at the time, or how glamorous American Idol was during the first few auditions.
Media people are all red. Bare. Naked realists, whatever is eye-catching, the newspaper headlines will write anything.
Because, no one will be unable to keep up with sales.
The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly was released on Monday, and although last week they described the fight between Billy Thornton and Link as a 'wrestling battle between a strong man and a baby', this week also came a big reversal.
The cover of the magazine features a photo of Billy Thornton walking out of the stadium with a pale face, and a group of young people laughing at the bottom, which is in stark contrast to Billy Thornton's pale face.
"American Television" even made a headline that could make people stunned: "Hip-hop style beats the American dream, and a shocking reversal has been staged on the battlefield of Atlanta!" "American Idol" successfully evolved into "American Trash". โ
Since Doyle King was promoted to editor-in-chief, American Television News has taken the lead in several of the most sensational events! In almost every exciting news, "American Television" is there.
And the "Los Angeles Times", which has always regarded itself as an "entertainment giant", also refused to be subservient, and the latest Yomiuri headline read: "Strong men are vulnerable, babies detonate the audience!" Atlanta fell yesterday, and nearly 10,000 young men and women exploded at the Olympic Stadium. โ
Such a satirical headline made the Los Angeles Times sell out as soon as it went public. Moreover, this happened in the face of the LA Times's top brass having already responded.
For today's headlines, the Los Angeles Times had expected a big hit. Although today's Yomiuri has already printed 20% more, I didn't expect it to be so popular. The phone number of the printing company is about to be blown up by them.
Not only the Los Angeles Times, but also other newspaper companies, large and small, were all frantically making phone calls, and everyone yelled at the phone: "Plus, add me to death!" โ
Ms. Amanda, the newly appointed editor-in-chief of The New York Times, has fully absorbed the tragic experience of the previous term, and has been entrusted with the important task of revitalizing the status of the "first brother" of the New York Times print media.
Amanda also attaches great importance to this incident. At last night's work meeting, she only said one sentence to the editorial department, which was: "Don't seek the most real, just more eye-catching!" โ
Under her guidelines, the editors of The New York Times have unleashed the limits of human imagination. Eventually, the editors came up with the most eye-catching headlines.
The headline: "Billy Thornton's self-confidence is hard to come back, and Link is once again on the road to conquer America." From west to east, the 'fire of hip-hop' will eventually sweep across North America! Thousands of people have chosen to follow in his footsteps at the call of the rap god. You! What are you waiting for? โ
So rich and inciting. The title of moving xรฌng is worthy of the crystallization of the entire editorial department's long-night meditation. As soon as it was listed, sales continued to rise, and there was really a trend of catching up with the peak of sales that year.
In this incident, the major newspapers can be said to have eight immortals crossing the sea and showing their own magical powers. However, when it comes to influence, it is the New York Times that has done the most successfully.
Not long after the newspaper went public, tens of thousands of people on the Internet left a petition on the official website of Fahrenheit Media.
Perhaps it was the New York Times headline that caused a sensation, and the message board on Fahrenheit Media's official website was filled with countless heated or euphemistic messages from netizens.
"Link, bring Eminem to 'Minsk', the Russian people need you!"
"What 'Minsk' to go, if you want to come, it's better to come to Europe, Paris is the romantic capital of France, I petition on behalf of the French, hurry up and conquer Europe!"
"The two bastards upstairs have a brain problem, Link, don't listen to their nonsense. Tennessee is just in the direction of westward expansion, just call over, I'll open the city gate for you, haha. โ
"Georgia isn't done yet, what Tennessee are you going to?" Augusta' and Atlanta are both part of Georgia and are still very close to each other. Come on, I can't wait. โ
"Welcome to Alabama, Eminem, I love you!"
"You are also welcome in North Carolina, and I will follow you as long as you are willing to come. What a bed! By the way, do you like brunettes? โ
"North Carolina is obviously not in the westward direction, that stupid girl upstairs, you still have to die of that heart. After Tennessee, it is the state of Akon sรจ, strong petition! Burn, war! Go West, Go West! โ

Just when everyone is discussing whether to 'go west', Showme, the most popular social networking site on the Internet, has 50 million users who have shifted the topic to tonight's premiere.
As two of the most eye-catching talent shows this summer, ShowMe has been acting as a crossfire between the two major fan groups. However, just after the Atlanta station ended, the popularity of "National Rap Tour" instantly increased several times.
Suddenly, the threat related to the "National Rap Tour" has become the most discussed topic in the showme.
On the contrary, the discussion of "American Idol" has dropped sharply.
The reason for such a huge change is, of course, because Link has beaten "American Idol" in Atlanta.
A classic story like this, which can be said to be 'defeating the strong with the weak', no one will not be interested in it.
Whether a new column can rise, the attention and topic of ordinary people are the most important indicators.
A lot of times, people don't pay more attention to the quality of the column, but to whether it has enough topics.
Countless 'strange phenomena' tell us that the more people curse something, the more it arouses the curiosity of more people.
Therefore, there are many columns or American dramas in the media industry, which have risen in the scolding.
Many people are, scolding and chasing at the same time. I watched it and then continued to scold, and then continued to watch after scolding.
Therefore, the 'topic' is always the most important!
Whether it's the media world or the entertainment world, this is the truth!
