Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 143 Video

 The video was shot in a boxing ring with dim lighting.

 A thumping sound could be heard in the distance, like a heart beating.

The camera slowly advances, showing a slender man with a bare and strong back, hitting the sandbag continuously. He is very powerful and moves flexibly, punching one after another in a very rhythmic manner.

Even people who don’t understand boxing will find it wonderful to watch.

 “Link, let’s begin.”

Someone shouted from behind the camera.

The man in front of the sandbag stopped and turned around. It was Link. He had fine short hair, angular cheeks, and eyes that were like the deep blue sky, slightly shining.

Link wiped his sweat, looked at the camera and asked:

 “Everyone, are you ready?”

 “OK!”

 Then a melodious violin and piano accompaniment sounded in the boxing ring.

The camera slowly moved forward, and in the training area on the left, a band was playing.

Link stood in front of the microphone and sang in a low voice.

His voice is very powerful, full of emotion and sincere, with a hint of hoarseness, and is very contagious. Listening to his songs gives people a very 'burning' feeling. This is why his first album "thefighter" was a hit One of the reasons.

　　After a relatively low-pitched narrative, the tone of the song gradually becomes high-pitched and passionate.

 I saw Link standing under the dim light, clenching his fists tightly, and all the muscles in his body were tense.

 His voice is just like his muscles, tough and powerful, which can directly touch the depths of people's hearts.

　　When hearing this song, people can’t help but tense up and want to shout along.

 Taylor saw Link roaring loudly, with an angry look on his face, and he seemed to be two different people from his usual calm smile, and his heart was touched.

Seeing Link's nonchalant look in the past few days, she didn't take that matter to heart. Now thinking about it, it was probably because Link didn't want to worry about it, so he pretended to be relaxed and took the pressure alone behind his back.

Thinking of this, Taylor's eyes couldn't help but heat up, and his vision gradually blurred.

 Give me a reason to fill this gap and pave this broken road

As Link chanted repeatedly, the screen gradually dimmed, Link's tall and strong back gradually disappeared, the music ended, and the video finished playing.

　　“This song is great.”

 “Link sang so well.”

 The people on the terrace couldn't help but applaud and cheer, and the eyes of Blake Lively and Emma Roberts, the girls who were more easily moved, were even red-eyed.

 “Your boyfriend is awesome!”

Kristen held the lollipop and praised Taylor.

Taylor blinked her wet eyelashes. She felt like laughing and crying. She looked at the sky, and suddenly she couldn't wait to see Link.

 “I’m going back first, and we’ll make an appointment next time.”

Tyler said hello, picked up his small satchel and left the terrace.

 “Tyler, tell Link we support him!”

 All the girls on the terrace watched her leave, and then continued chatting and drinking coffee.

　　“Hey, have you noticed that Taylor’s **** seems to be more perky.”

Katy Perry gestured with her hands and said with a smile, "Seeing her butt, I can guess what position Link usually likes to use. Do you want to take a gamble?"

ˆ “.”

 Blake Lively and Emma looked at each other, why are they talking about that kind of thing again?

 “What position?”

Christine asked.

Hearing her speak, several girls all turned their attention to her again. Seeing that she still had a cold face and seemed indifferent to everything, they all became even more angry. They rushed over to her and pushed her down on the sofa.

 “Hey, whose song is this? It’s very nice.”

 New York, when Lady Gaga walked out of the recording room, she saw her assistant playing on the laptop on the sofa and asked curiously. “Link’s new song has been viewed more than 1 million times in just three hours since it was posted on YouTube.”

 The assistant turns around the computer screen.

 “Link’s?”

Miss Gaga immediately sat over and took a look. It was the account where Link last posted the video "Despacito". The previous video had been played more than 11 million times, and the second video "Givemereason" was currently being played.

 After the video started, there was a subtitle, which talked about Link's recent experience. He was besieged, accused, and forced to apologize. Link asked all those who accused him to give him a reason.

Ms. Gaga also heard about Link’s incident. She sighed and clicked on the video again.

Her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw a man with a strong figure. Link had a great figure and was very sexy. Even if there was no song, she could watch this kind of video dozens of times.

But when Link started singing, her attention was instantly attracted to Link's singing voice. Link's voice was clean and powerful. Among the many smoky voices and melodious sounds in the music scene, this voice was very recognizable.

In this song, his voice is more hoarse and struggling, more powerful, richer in emotion, and very contagious.

 Miss Gaga listened to it three times, opened Twitter, clicked to repost, and highly recommended it.

Due to the recent high volume of Link’s topics, he himself is also extremely popular.

After he opened his Twitter account, the number of followers went from 0 to 1 million in less than half a day, becoming the fastest celebrity user to reach 1 million since Twitter was launched in 2006, and also becoming the celebrity user with the most Twitter followers at this stage. one.

 And the number of views on YouTube for his new song "Give Me Reason" has also skyrocketed. At 6 p.m., the video officially exceeded 5 million views.

The reason why it is so popular is not only that the song is of high quality and Link’s performance is wonderful, but also because of the reposts and recommendations of many celebrities.

Including popular singers Taylor, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, popular Hollywood flower Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Paul Walker, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Watson, Latin Queen Shakira, Amber Heard and more.

After these big stars jointly recommended it, the song spread quickly from the entertainment industry to other walks of life and every corner of the United States like a virus.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Jeff Okabaro, the assistant director of the "Transformers 2" production team, walked into the Los Angeles subway drunk and found an empty seat to sit down.

There are many hip-hop young people in the carriage here, listening to songs, dancing, laughing and having fun.

The carriage was in a mess, and so was his mind.

 Things at work have been very unsatisfactory recently.

 After the filming of the film was completed last month, it officially entered post-production. Post-production includes editing, dubbing, scoring, rendering, etc. He is mainly responsible for finding suitable interludes, theme songs, and soundtracks for the film.

 The interlude and soundtrack work is progressing smoothly, and most of it has been completed. However, the selection of the theme song is not progressing smoothly.

He successively found three famous musicians to write the theme song for the movie. The three musicians spent more than a month but failed to write a suitable song. Either the director Michael Bay was not satisfied, or the producer was not satisfied. Ian Bryce thought it was inappropriate.

As the release date of the movie approaches, the theme song has not been settled, which puts him, the assistant director in charge of the soundtrack, under great pressure, causing him anxiety and insomnia for several nights in a row.

well!

Jeff sighed and took out a business card and looked at it. This was a business card given to him by a colleague. It had the contact information of Guns N' Roses on it.

 Guns N' Roses is one of the famous hard rock bands. Several members have good creative abilities. I hope they can help this time.

 “This song is awesome, I highly recommend you listen to it.”

"What song is it?"

 “Give me a reason!”

 In the corner, several young men and women gathered together to chat, with their mobile phones still having voiceover on, making it noisy.

Jeff glanced at a few people, shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep for a while.

 Sogivemereasontoprovemewrongtowashthismemoryclean

Then give me a reason, prove me wrong, and clear all memories

 Let thefloodscrossthedistanceinyoureyes

Suddenly, a fierce voice came from the mobile phone next to him. Jeff opened his eyes suddenly, and his mind suddenly woke up. He frowned and listened quietly for a few seconds. The more he listened, the faster his heart beat. This song was so contagious. .

 “This is the theme song I want!”

 Jeff yelled in his mind.

 “Hey man, what song is this?”

Jeff shouted to the young man.

 “Link’s new song, Givemereason, is available on YouTube.”

 The young man chewing gum shook the screen of his mobile phone. It was the scene of Link singing in the boxing gym.

Jeff took one look, quickly took out his mobile phone, clicked on Link's video, and listened to it seven times. After listening to it, he breathed a long sigh of relief and sent the video link to director Michael Bay.

“Director, this song is great, I suggest using it as the theme song.”

 He was sure that director Michael Bay would be satisfied.
