Chapter 502: Hard Control

When returning to the rented house, Larsen sent a set of recording equipment to Jory Jin Si, accompanied by a staff member from the Himalaya website.

This staff member not only serves as Jory Jin Si' assistant, helping him debug some equipment, but in reality, also acts as a supervisor.

With Jory Jin Si' personality, he is someone who doesn't listen to the coach or the team leader much on the court, so how would he be willing to be watched and supervised?

But the 100,000-dollar annual contract had already been signed, and with his agent present, Jory Jin Si didn't dare to throw any temper.

After debugging the equipment and entering the simple studio, after trying it out, Jory Jin Si began to slowly enter the state.

"Welcome to listen to Jory Sports. I am NBA Knicks shooting guard Jory Jin Si. Welcome to my program!"

Wearing headphones and saying this opening line to the microphone, it was specially set up by the Himalaya website for Jory Jin Si. If his NBA identity wasn't mentioned, who would know what kind of bird he is?

This is also why Larsen wanted Jory Jin Si to stay in the NBA no matter what. An active NBA player is of great benefit to increasing the popularity of his podcast.

"I know that there are always people in the world who worship authority and tell everyone what is correct. But are those really necessarily correct?"

At the beginning, Jory Jin Si was still reserved, but his people-crazy personality made him more excited the more he talked.

"Take it for example, is the Earth necessarily round? Why can't it be flat?!"

"The horizon we see with our naked eyes is flat. When riding in a helicopter or hot air balloon at high altitude, the Earth we see is still flat!"

Then, who is promoting that the Earth is round?

Only in NASA's photos can we see that the Earth has an arc. Could it be that NASA is necessarily true?"

Hearing Jory Jin Si bombarding NASA, Jory Jin Si' agent and the assistant sent over couldn't help but widen their eyes.

But Jory Jin Si, who was in the excitement, was at the level of spiritual drug-taking, so how could he care about anything? "The reason I question it is because there is evidence. There are Earth's clouds behind the moon. The whole world prohibits planes from crossing the South Pole. This is because if you fly over the South Pole, you will discover the truth, or even enter a parallel universe..."

Listening to Jory Jin Si getting more and more outrageous, his agent couldn't help but cover his face. He suddenly felt that the 100,000-dollar signing fee from Himalaya was really not easy to take.

If Jory Jin Si' remarks were released, who knows how much ridicule it would cause. He was afraid that the NBA players under his hand would run away because they were ashamed to be associated with Jory Jin Si.

But at this time, it was impossible to terminate the agreement. What kind of person is Larsen? The most famous vulture lawyer in New York. How could he leave loopholes in the contract?

The signing fee for Jory Jin Si is 100,000 a year, but if he wants to breach the contract, it's not as simple as breaching the contract. Without paying a compensation of 10 or 20 million dollars, he shouldn't even think about running away!

After chatting for a full forty minutes, under the strong request of his agent, Jory Jin Si stopped with lingering interest. The first half of what he just said was promoting the Flat Earth theory, and the second half was bombarding NASA as a liar, and even implicitly bombarding the American federal government for deceiving Americans.

His agent was really scared and didn't dare to let this American version of the nine-year compulsory education dropout continue to speak wildly. He was afraid that if he continued to talk, Jory Jin Si would spray the President and the gentlemen on Capitol Hill.

"How many people will hear the program I recorded today?!"

After the recording was completed, Jory Jin Si asked the assistant of the Himalaya website with great interest. After recording this session today, Jory Jin Si felt that it was even more refreshing than scoring twenty points on the court!

Of course, how can scolding people not be refreshing? Putting down the moral burden, enjoying a wicked life, instead of wronging yourself, it is better to make things difficult for others. This is simply too much to Jory Jin Si' appetite.

"There should be quite a few people. After the Himalaya website goes online, you should be able to see your work!"

The assistant of the Himalaya website said vaguely to Jory Jin Si. He heard that the website was preparing to focus on promoting the programs of the first batch of podcast creators who settled into Himalaya Radio, not only promoting on the internet but also through programs on radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, etc.

At that time, because of Jory Jin Si' Flat Earth theory, how much public opinion there would be in American society—this assistant couldn't even imagine.

"This is the Joe Rogan Experience program. Today is the first episode. The first interview guest invited is Nick Carter, a member of the Backstreet Boys!"

In a small TV station studio in Los Angeles, an interview was also being conducted. Although the studio was not sophisticated enough and the equipment was somewhat crude, the conditions were much better than Larry Jin Si' side.

"Carter, you are one of the earliest members of the Backstreet Boys band. Can you say why you formed such a band?"

The person speaking is Joe Rogan, who was also signed by Larsen for Himalaya Radio as a podcaster. Today, the Backstreet Boys were also invited by Himalaya Radio to cooperate with Rogan's interview.

Both sides got what they needed. Himalaya hoped to invite stars to do interviews to increase popularity, and the Backstreet Boys were promoting to enter the American record market. Both sides hit it off.

Rogan is from the grassroots. He was a commentator for UFC unlimited fighting matches before. Think about it, for a boxing match commentator, how carefully edited and polished can his speech be?!

To put it politely, Rogan's style is grounded, like the rough Western cowboy style. To put it impolitely, it is too rough, with all kinds of slang from American local states appearing frequently.

Anyway, for a New York "elite" like Larsen, he doesn't like Rogan's "earthy" interview style very much.

But Larsen observed for a while. He saw that when Rogan interviewed the Backstreet Boys members, the staff around him would smile from time to time. Clearly, they were immersed in Rogan's interview, including Carter, a member of the idol singer band. Rogan could also get along with him, making the other party feel quite willing to say everything in a relaxed state.

This made Larsen feel Rogan's power. Being able to let the interviewee put down their guard and let the people around them be immersed in the interview—to be honest, this is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

Rogan is truly from the grassroots. The university he attended was not good. After graduation, for a living, he worked as a taekwondo coach, security guard, courier, chartered driver, and even moved bricks at construction sites. Finally, he established himself by playing bit parts, guest-starred in a few small roles in Disney soap operas, and then started commentary.

This experience allows Rogan, who is good at observing words and colors, to get along with all kinds of people quickly. And for the audience, Rogan is like a neighbor on the street next to them, without the airs of a star. After all, who would refuse to listen to gossip told by a neighbor at the entrance of the village?!

Larsen glanced at Joe Rogan in the recording studio. He felt that one day, this guy might really become a top-tier interview program host like Oprah!

Besides Jory Jin Si and Joe Rogan, the rest of the podcast creators who signed with Himalaya Radio were also recording their own programs in different recording studios.

And after Jory Jin Si and the others finished recording, the recorded content was sent to the Himalaya Silicon Valley office for processing, preparing to be digitized and uploaded to the backend server.

Now it's not yet the era of the previous life where everyone is self-media, where you can upload after shooting with a mobile phone and P-ing the video, and then invest in Doujia to let everyone see the content you shot.

"What the hell, a two-hour and forty-minute interview program?!"

Himalaya Silicon Valley office head Lu Kui, when seeing Joe Rogan's interview program, Lu Kui was a bit broken. He didn't know what the two could talk about that could actually drag on for two or three hours.

"Do you want to edit a part? Two hours and forty minutes, the duration is really too much!" Lu Kui couldn't help but ask Li Dongling.

"No need!"

Although Li Dongling also had a headache, he still said, "Upload the recorded content of others first, then upload Rogan's interview separately. After this upload, see how the effect is, and then decide whether to edit the interview recording program of Rogan in the next episode!"

This kind of unedited, chatting-style interview style is Rogan's style. If it is edited, it will lose that flavor. Let's see the effect this time before making a decision.

The entire Himalaya Silicon Valley office fell into a busier state, and new staff were constantly being recruited.

Before, the office was mainly website technology and development personnel. Now, it is mainly recruiting personnel for operations, content editing, advertising investment, public relations, and other departments. The Himalaya Silicon Valley office was more than half full in just a few days.

"We should have the ability and right to think independently. We should not be deceived. Existence is reasonable, and everything is possible!

As everyone knows, the end of science is theology. Newton, Galileo, Compton, and others all eventually believed in theology... Jory Sports looks forward to seeing you in the next episode!"

Listening to the content of Jory Jin Si' program played on the computer, at the last moment, it was clearly with lingering interest that this episode of recording ended.

After listening, he originally wanted to see how the Himalaya audio effect played on the computer was and what technical aspects needed improvement.

But after listening to Jory Jin Si' recorded content, Li Dongling, who had long known what Jory Jin Si was going to say, was fine. He had long been mentally prepared. Besides, what kind of scenes hadn't appeared in the previous life? The Flying Spaghetti Monster religion even had over 10 million believers worldwide.

But Yao Luoying, Zhou Hualiang, Lu Kui, and a group of Himalaya website staff who heard this theory for the first time were all silenced. It was truly Arthur coming out with a whisper, silent and broken. A group of people were hard-controlled by this guy Jory Jin Si' theory for nearly half a minute before they came back to their senses.

"Will anyone really believe this theory?"

Zhou Hualiang held it in for a long time, and finally asked with a laugh that was worse than crying. ===== CHAPTER 503 =====
