"I'm going to be waiting for you in the 'All-American Rap Tour' Challenge!"
The sentence 'disobedience to the battle' once again made the madmen in the rap industry mad with anger!
In some large forums, including Showme, countless people have posted to discuss the 'National Rap Tour'. The heat of discussion about this matter instantly overshadowed "American Idol".
And the major print media can't hold their breath anymore, even a fool can see that the MV of "Rap-God" is actually created by Link, and then think of the 'National Rap Rap Tour Challenge' he just announced, countless people gasped!
This is a naked, naked, naked declaration of war!
First, "Rap-God" was released when "American Idol" began preparations, and then when "American Idol" was about to start the audition, the "National Rap Rap Tour Challenge" was announced!
Such a gunpowder-flavored approach directly detonated everyone's ignition!
The Los Angeles Times published a provocative headline with the headline: "Link vs. Billy Thornton!" The life-and-death race between the mystery man and "American Idol"! Who was the 2002 super-idol? Who will be able to detonate this summer? Let's wait and see! ”
"American Television" was also not left behind, and the original headline read: "Such a fiery fighting atmosphere, such an amazing shirtless confrontation!" Is it a contest between life and death? Or is it a one-sided bombardment to the scum? Who is the biggest winner? ”
So far, whether it is the Internet or traditional media, all have aroused great curiosity. The plot of the Americans' 'hero worship' is vividly played at this moment, and no one does not want to know the outcome of this fight, and no one does not want to participate in such a tempting gladiatorial fight.
In the crazy anticipation of countless people, the third amazing 'insider' was rendered by the media as a super revelation like 'the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife'!
Without him, just because the first stop of the 'All-American Rap Tour' just announced by Link turned out to be the last stop of the audition for "American Idol" announced by Billy Thornton!
Although this seems to be just an ordinary information, the shrewd media people still interpret the murderous spirit and war intent that is so sharp that it is 'never dead'!
Countless infected Americans began to fall into an even more tormented and frantic waiting. It's just because the media reports are too inflammatory. is moving, as if he is not afraid of making things bigger, and the bloody reports of touching and suspicious 'decryption', 'analysis', 'insider', etc., have mobilized the enthusiasm of countless people.
After a long silence, the veteran media personality and critic 'Heimer', who had just finished his vacation, made an in-depth comment on the matter and published it in his column.
"I have to say that the promotion of "American Idol" is very good, Billy Thornton, as a well-known producer, has very cleverly introduced the big selling point of "American Dream", and successfully achieved it, so that "American Idol" has become popular all over the United States before it has even begun to officially launch."
"However, I must make it clear that this young man Link is indeed a step higher!"
"He just stood on the shoulders of the 'giant' with a few simple announcements when the popularity of "American Idol" reached its peak."
"He didn't spend a penny, and he has reached the same level of popularity as American Idol in terms of promotion! It also proves once again his amazing means. But how much "American Idol" spent on publicity in the early stage, perhaps only Billy Thornton knows. ”
'Hemmer' is a well-known critic who can always dissect an event more deeply from an unexpected angle.
……
Fahrenheit, in Polke's office, Link looked at the newspapers in his hand with a smile. In particular, the column of 'Hemer' made him laugh very proudly.
Poke, who has always been optimistic about Link going against "American Idol", has a melancholy look on his face, and he tries to open his mouth, but finally gives up.
He knew that now was no time for arguments, that all the news had been made public, and that everything was irretrievable. The rest is to figure out how to successfully impact "American Idol".
Link had been watching Pock's reaction, and when he saw that the other party had gradually become calmer, Link nodded in satisfaction.
Link also knows that he is sometimes very assertive in some decisions, which is not a good sign. But he couldn't explain it to anyone else, and even if he did, he didn't know what to say. Many times, he struggled for a 'battle of wills', but fortunately the first few times were successful.
"Well, I hope this time it will end well."
Link sighed slightly, how could he not know what Polk was thinking? He also understands that the other party is considering the big picture, but he often just comes up with an idea out of the blue, and then implements it.
"No matter what, it's already started, and you can't hold back."
Link cheered himself up in his heart, he knew that he had to keep going, and he must not be afraid in the slightest.
"Little boss, Andre and Mr. Emnum are here."
Fat Jack called and informed Link.
"I know, I'll go back right away."
Link had already stood up as he spoke, he glanced at Pok in front of him, and said, "I'll take someone to Philadelphia tomorrow, and Johnny will take it with me, so that he can practice more." If you communicate more with Rust, I will send someone to send back the video materials of the 'Challenge' every day, and the production and broadcast work will be handed over to you and Rust. ”
Pork nodded, and a smile rose on his face: "Now that it's here, I won't say anything more." Let's kick American Shit together. ”
Link also laughed: "That's right, not only to kick 'American shit', but also to kick Fox TV, and to kick Billy Thornton's pile of garbage." ”
Although Polk didn't understand why Link had a feud with Billy Thornton, he vaguely knew that men and men had enmity not only because of women but also because of women.
Watching Link walk out, Poke shook his head with a smile.
"This little boss, sometimes it's really like a child, but sometimes it seems like he has everything under his control, this feeling is really strange."
……
Soon, Link was back at CAA TV across the wall, where Andre and Emnum were already waiting.
"Hi Eminem, do you know what my expression is when I see the video of "Rap-God" playing on the MTV?"
Link said as he showed a dumbfounded face, and his funny performance made Emnum smile lightly, obviously in a very good mood.
After a joking, Link began to get serious: "Early tomorrow morning, we're going to leave for Philadelphia." I said I would make Eminem a real 'rap emperor'! Tomorrow, we will take the first step. And the only obstacle in front of us is "American Idol". ”
Andre grinned: "Don't worry, in the rap world on the West Coast, who doesn't know the name of my dr dre?" Even I am ashamed of Eminem, let alone others. As for the East Coast, it's not that I underestimate them. Those clowns still dare to say what kind of king-level they are? Let them try it in Hollywood and stomp on their dog's mouth. ”
Andrei's arrogant tone made everyone shake their heads with a wry smile. But Andre does dominate the rap scene on the West Coast, and even he has great respect for Emnum, and Link is even more confident.
