Chapter 81: Congestion

For Link, Emnum lost his identity as a 'mystery man', and the "All-American Rap Tour" lost its biggest gimmick.

However, Link respects Emnum's choice, and he can't force the other person to wear a mask forever. Moreover, the identity of the 'mystery man' does not last long.

After three rounds of challenges, Emnum's identity as a 'mystery man' is actually much less important.

Now that Emnum has shown his true face, he was more generous, and Link directly posted a video recorded that night on ShowYou.

Because, even if he doesn't announce it himself, someone will always announce it. You know, there were thousands of people present that night, and this kind of thing is simply unstoppable.

When CAA TV released the video of 'The True Identity of the Mystery Man Exposed' in an official capacity, in an instant, netizens escalated from the identity of the mystery man to the height of the 'race issue', which no one expected.

After several days of debate, no conclusion was reached.

The media's reaction to this incident is more intriguing.

Newspaper giants who had previously paid no attention to similar incidents have made headlines, but at a glance it is clear that this is a deliberate 'PR' report.

Public relations reports, to put it bluntly, are 'soft advertising', and this kind of similar 'soft advertising' is also a major means of profit-making in the newspaper industry.

In addition to promoting the product or itself, the 'soft announcement' can also be used to attack competitors, which has almost become an 'unspoken rule' in the industry.

And the newspaper company has money to make, and of course it is not refused.

……

Omaha, the largest city in California.

This is the third stop of the audition for "American Idol", and Billy Thornton sits behind his desk and hands over a master tape that he has just finished reviewing to his subordinate standing in front of him.

The subordinate nodded, then turned and walked out the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Billy's son, Amy Thornton. He smiled and said hello, but the other party ignored it, holding a few newspapers in his hand, and hurried into the room.

The subordinate glared at Amy Thornton's back in annoyance, spat on it, and left.

Amy Thornton excitedly ran to her father's side, put a few newspapers on her desk, and said proudly, "Dad, look, this is a few headlines published today. ”

Billy Thornton gave him a casual look and let out a faint 'um'.

Amy Thornton on the side still smiled and said, "Dad, with these headlines, Link's. The son is definitely not our opponent. ”

Billy Thornton snorted coldly and scolded directly: "Idiot, Link will be my opponent? Just by relying on his white man who can rap, he really thinks he can beat "American Idol"? ”

Amy Thornton didn't understand why her father suddenly became angry, and whispered timidly, "Anyway, I hate Link's trash, and Julie's. Sub ......"

Syllable!

Before Amy Thornton could finish her sentence, she was slapped hard by her father. Amy Thornton was also blindfolded, and stood stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Get out!"

Billy Thornton roared angrily and looked into his son's gaze with a deep sense of nausea.

Amy Thornton covered her face and walked out with a blushing face.

Billy Thornton was the only one in the room, sitting silently in his office chair, his expression gradually calming down.

Billy Thornton suddenly chuckled for no reason, picked up a pre-baked cigar from the table, cut it with a cigar tong, lit it on a kerosene lighter, and took a leisurely puff.

"Are you really pinning all your hopes on a small one? Julie, I'll let you see how he turned into a poor bastard with nothing. ”

Billy Thornton's eyes grew cold, and he pressed the cigar he had only smoked on his expensive desk, emitting a puff of green smoke.

……

By noon, the highway to Atlanta was already jammed with kilometers of cars.

It's only mid-April, but the temperature in Atlanta, which is located in the highlands, is already high. The busy county jǐng sweated like rain directing the traffic, running around non-stop.

"What the hell is the weather." The county jǐng wiped the sweat from his face, the uniform on his body was already soaked, and he couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is it today?" How can there be so many vehicles? ”

As the county jǐng complained, two more cars scratched not far away, and he hurriedly hurried over while cursing in a low voice.

A few hundred meters away, a female reporter was broadcasting to the camera: "Hello viewers, this is the live report brought to you by the Atlanta local TV station. ”

As soon as the female reporter stretched out her hand, the cameraman also pointed the camera at the long line.

"You can see from the direction of my finger that the highway to downtown Atlanta is already jammed with traffic. The county inspection bureau has specially sent people to direct the traffic, and hereby reminds the drivers of passing vehicles to pay attention to avoid as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble......"

The congestion continues, and Link is now in a hotel room in Atlanta.

Fat Jack, who he hadn't seen for a long time, was standing behind him, and he had arrived in Atlanta a few days early.

"Little boss." Fat Jack said: "Atlanta has agreed to our filming request, and an area has been demarcated for our use, and the scheduling of public facilities has been negotiated. ”

Since a few months ago, Link has been putting the filming of "The Walking Dead" on the agenda. It's just that the PR work on all fronts was difficult, and it wasn't until a few days ago that Atlanta passed a vote to agree to the filming request submitted by the crew of The Walking Dead.

"Oh? So what conditions do they have? ”

Link stands in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out over this famous historic city in the United States.

When it comes to Atlanta, people who are familiar with it or not, must think of 'Coca-Cola' first, because the Coca-Cola Company is located in the city. It is also home to the headquarters of the world-famous Lockheed Aircraft Corporation.

Hearing Link's question, the fat man said without thinking: "The condition is that the extras we used to shoot "The Walking Dead" must hire locals as much as possible. ”

Link chuckled, "It's that simple? ”

Fat Jack nodded: "Of course it's easy for us, but for Atlanta, it's a big problem to solve employment, hahaha......"

In the end, even the fat man himself laughed.

Link slowly understood what he meant.

As one of the most important heavy industrial cities in the United States, Atlanta was also the most affected by the financial crisis.

It just so happens that the time for the general election is not a few years away, and Atlanta zhèngfǔ certainly needs to make a few events to please the people. And the most important thing to solve now is of course the problem of unemployment.

Due to the huge impact of the financial crisis, the domestic and international heavy industry has been hit very significantly, and the unemployment rate has fallen seriously. Just look at Link's last stop, Charleston, which he just passed.

It was because of the impact of the financial crisis that Charleston became a veritable sin city, and since Atlanta had learned from the past, it naturally did not dare to be too careless.

While thinking, Link turned around and asked as he walked, "Where have they gone now?" ”

"I've just called Carl and they're stuck in a highway block." After the fat man Jack finished speaking, he asked puzzledly: "My little boss, where did you find so many bad youths?" There are thousands of people, and it's terrifying to block the highway tightly. ”

The corners of Link's mouth were hooked, he leaned against the head of the bed with the back of his head, and smiled mysteriously: "Bad youth? I don't think so. ”

Looking at the little boss's appetizing appearance, Fat Jack rolled his eyes helplessly.
