Chapter 504: This Script Is Wrong
The influence of the internet is not yet enough to directly affect the real world. It is not yet the era where internet media can crush traditional TV stations, newspapers, and magazines.
Not only can the Himalaya website not do it, but other internet companies like Yahoo also cannot do it. Otherwise, Yahoo would not desperately advertise for Yahoo chief Yang Zhiyuan on American TV stations, newspapers, and magazines to promote itself.
Just like Tianya Forum, when it opened in the mainland, it launched various linkage activities with the real world, making Tianya Forum quickly popular on the domestic internet. Even many people who didn't go online had a preliminary impression of Tianya Forum through media like TV and newspapers, becoming potential users of Tianya Forum.
Using traditional media to promote internet websites is a necessary means for internet companies now!
New York TV station, Larsen, who finished talking to Li Dongling on the phone, stood in the background.
Back then, Li Dongling also stated the major crimes of Microsoft becoming an evil dragon to Americans through an interview on New York TV station, setting off the first large-scale anti-Microsoft monopoly wave.
Larsen looked at the news anchor who walked to the studio. The host he found for Himalaya this time was not Brent, who interviewed Li Dongling last time. A host of Brent's level wouldn't play any scripts.
"Welcome to New York TV station. Now reporting news from various states in America. The Florida Park Administration has declared a ban on licking toads. This Sonoran toad contains a variety of toxins unsuitable for the human body, which may endanger life!"
The host first reported a piece of news from Florida, the state in America that can best make things happen. After all, a sentence famous in Florida is that you can not live, but you cannot have no life.
It would have been fine if the Florida Park didn't issue this statement. Once the statement was issued, those penniless drug addicts in Florida started to get high, carrying flashlights and wooden sticks, and started looking for this kind of toad all over Florida, treating it as a flat substitute, and there was even a trend of spreading to other states in America.
After reporting a few more pieces of news, the host changed the subject, "Recently, New York Knicks player Jory Jin Si claimed the Flat Earth theory in his Himalaya podcast program, and even wanted to establish a Global Flat Earth Association. He believes that NASA is hiding the statement that the Earth is flat from Americans!"
After saying that, he even played a segment from Jory Jin Si' podcast program in the news, and then connected to an academic staff member working at NASA to refute Jory Jin Si' remarks.
"I don't know why this Jory has such a concept, but to observe the horizon on Earth, you need to rise to an altitude of 100 kilometers. Whether it is a hot air balloon or a helicopter, they cannot reach such an altitude!"
Saying this, the NASA academic staff member and the TV station host couldn't help but laugh. They treated Jory Jin Si' Flat Earth theory completely as a clown, but anyone who has attended school for one more day wouldn't make such an absurd remark.
Today, New York TV station treated the material Larsen sent up completely as a joke and fun. In the news program, they spent a full five minutes mocking Jory Jin Si before ending.
Larsen checked his watch, saw the news about Jory Jin Si pass, and then expressed his gratitude to an acquaintance, a New York TV station executive, on the side.
As for the TV station program treating Jory Jin Si and his Flat Earth theory as a clown, joke, etc., Larsen didn't care at all. After all, it wasn't him who lost face. And, black-red, isn't it red?
By tomorrow, when news about Jory Jin Si starts to appear in New York and even various states in America, just ask if his popularity has increased?!
"It's hard to imagine that in this era, someone would still propose the Flat Earth theory. I can't help but worry about America's poor basic education.
The Knicks team needs to carefully consider the recruitment of players. This is completely misleading Knicks fans. Even fans have claimed that they need to consider whether to continue ordering Knicks season tickets next season!"
The next day, even the New York Times complained about Jory Jin Si and his Flat Earth theory, because since New York TV station started reporting this matter yesterday, media in various states in America started reporting it one after another.
After all, Jory Jin Si' identity as an NBA Knicks player counts as a celebrity, which is very attractive to people's eyes. Plus, the Knicks team is in New York, and in the past, New York media have always mocked other places in America as being in the countryside and villages.
With this layer of history, plus the media where the Knicks' opponent teams in the NBA are located, they all moved out in unison, desperately reporting Jory Jin Si' news, not only mocking Jory Jin Si but also disgusting New York and the Knicks team.
After all, this matter has too many highlights. Although the Flat Earth theory has been discussed before, no one has ever dared to talk about it in a program like Jory Jin Si.
Chicago, which was just crushed by the Knicks and had its winning streak broken, and the Illinois media were the most hardworking, desperately fanning the flames.
Larsen and Himalaya Radio almost just lit a fire and hadn't even tried hard to fan the flames, but Jory Jin Si and his Flat Earth theory were reported by various media in America with lightning speed.
"I never thought that one day, a water cooler player could become a hot news item in the NBA. I am now a bit curious about Jory Jin Si' brain. I don't know what kind of stuff is in it!"
In the NBA program on TNT TV station, several NBA retired legends invited were all complaining about Jory Jin Si.
Among them, NBA Hall of Famer Willis, who was also a New York Knicks legend, couldn't help but complain, "I think it's time for the Knicks to seriously consider Jory Jin Si' contract. For the Knicks, he might already be a negative asset. He makes the entire Knicks feel ashamed!"
The TNT host said at this time, "Fans who are watching our program are constantly calling in on the off-site connection line, wanting to discuss the problem of Jory Jin Si and his theory with us."
Today's TNT special NBA program, because of the preview last night indicating that it would discuss the problem of Jory Jin Si, the ratings have been soaring since the start of the broadcast today, and off-site calls have been constantly coming in.
"This is TNT Sports NBA special program..."
Before the host could finish speaking, the person on the other end of the phone opened fire. The voice sounded very angry and dissatisfied, "What qualifications do you have to question Mr. Jory Jin Si?"
"Have you seen the whole Earth with your own eyes? Have you really been to space? Have you been to the South Pole? Besides the photos and so-called videos NASA gave you, what other evidence do you have to prove that what NASA said is true?"
This series of questions left everyone in the studio dumbfounded. Jory Jin Si' academic level is not high, but Willis and these NBA legends, in terms of academics, how strong can they be? For a time, they were speechless.
"Shit!"
The TNT sports host couldn't help but curse his bad luck. He didn't expect that after connecting to an off-site call, it was actually a supporter of Jory Jin Si, and someone actually supported his Flat Earth theory?
The host, who didn't believe in evil, changed to another off-site phone, but this one was even more intense than the previous one. As soon as it came up, it started spraying.
"You are a bunch of dog shit, running dogs for NASA and those vampires on Capitol Hill. What qualifications do you have to question Jory? He represents justice and truth, exposing the facts you covered up. You just want to hide the truth of this world, thereby keeping us ignorant and ruling us!"
"I am a professor in the physics department of Michigan State University. If necessary, you can verify my identity and profession. What I want to say is that I support Jory Jin Si' theory, and I can even provide more evidence.
Jory Jin Si didn't say one thing wrong. The end of science is theology. A professor at Harvard University whom I respect most also expressed support for this view..."
After several consecutive calls, the TNT sports TV studio became silent. Whether it was the host or several NBA legends, they were all confused. This script is different from what they thought. Shouldn't it all be angry scolding and mocking Jory Jin Si? How come the people who called in were all supporters of his Flat Earth theory?
The TNT host really wanted to ask if Jory Jin Si had hired water troops to specifically call in to disgust them, but then the director's words left him stunned there. It wasn't just TNT; other major TV stations discussing Jory Jin Si and the Flat Earth theory also received off-site calls, all of which were Flat Earth believers supporting and voicing support for Jory Jin Si!
Jory Jin Si opened his eyes and looked at the phone whose line he had pulled. He couldn't help but have lingering fears.
From the Himalaya Radio going online with his podcast content to being reported by major TV stations like New York, Jory Jin Si' life has undergone earth-shaking changes. In just one or two days, TV stations, newspapers, and magazines were all reports about him, but those vocabularies were not very friendly.
In those media reports, Jory Jin Si is like a brainless, ignorant clown.
Jory Jin Si has seen a lot of abuse, but this kind of overwhelming scene was the first time he encountered it. Today should have been the day to go to the stadium for training and the game at night, but Jory Jin Si felt fear for the first time. He was scolded too hard. Even a nervous knife like him couldn't take it.
The door of the rented house was suddenly knocked, which gave Jory Jin Si a big jump. After knocking for a long time, waiting for Jory Jin Si to open the door, the other party directly turned the key and walked in.
Seeing that the person who came in was his agent, Jory Jin Si breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did you come at this time? Are those reporters and media outside still there?"
Jory Jin Si' agent rarely accompanied Jory Jin Si to training or anything. This sudden arrival made him a bit puzzled.
But his agent looked very excited, without any worry, "Jory, get up quickly. You should go out now, go see those media, go to the stadium for training, meet the fans, instead of hiding here like a mouse. You are now the hero of America!"
Hearing this, Jory Jin Si was completely confused and didn't know what had happened at all, but was forcibly pulled out by his agent.
As soon as he went out, a continuous flash made Jory Jin Si feel that his eyes were dazzled. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pile of microphones appearing in front of him, some of which he wished could be stuffed into his mouth.
"Jory, what do you think about the more than 160,000 people applying to join your Flat Earth Association?"
"It's 180,000. There are also a large number of supporters overseas claiming to join Jory's Flat Earth Association!" A reporter corrected.
"There are physics professors, sports stars, and countless students in schools in America who are voicing support for you. Do you have anything to say to your supporters?" ===== CHAPTER 505 =====
