Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 144 MJ

 "Link! Link! Where are you?"

Taylor returned to the villa and shouted several times into the house.

"here!"

Link's voice came from the other side of the swimming pool.

Tyler strode towards the swimming pool and saw Link swimming in the swimming pool. He stretched out his arms and stroked back and forth in a very skillful manner.

“You went on a date with a handsome guy, why did you come back so early?”

Link put his hands on the edge of the pool and chuckled.

 Taylor saw the smile on his face and thought of the angry boy in the video. It felt like two people. When she watched the video, she was very moved and wanted to come back and hug him and kiss him hard.

 Just seeing him in person, seeing him so leisurely and comfortable, I don’t know why, the previous feeling suddenly disappeared again.

Tyler hummed softly, put down his small satchel, sat down on the bench, took out his phone and clicked a few times, then clicked on the video again.

 “Is this guy you?”

Link pushed himself ashore, wiped his hair with a towel, put it over his shoulders and took a look.

 “So handsome, it must be me.”

 “When was this song written?”

“I was inspired to write this after reading the news these past two days. What do you think?”

Link said with a smile.

 After remembering that song, he made several calls to inquire about the progress of the theme song for the Transformers 2 crew.

I remember that this song was a theme song tailor-made for the movie "Transformers 2" by the band Linkin Park after watching it.

He only came up with the song after hearing that the film was finished shooting in mid-February and was in the late stages of production. The theme song had not been finalized yet and Linkin Park was still holding a concert in the UK.

Taylor rolled her eyes at him. When she was writing songs, the house was full of manuscripts. She had to prepare violins, guitars, and pianos. Even so, she couldn't write a song in ten days.

But this guy in front of me doesn’t seem to put much effort into his creations. He sings good songs one after another, making people jealous.

“Every time I finish writing a song, I show it to you. Why don’t you show it to me when you write a song? Do you think I’m not good enough to give you advice?”

Taylor curled her red lips and asked pretending to be angry.

"Of course not. You taught me how to play guitar and piano. How can I think you are not good enough? It's just that you are usually too busy and act like a bomb when you create. You will get angry at anyone who disturbs you. I don't dare to get close to you. "

Link said with a shrug.

Taylor thought about the last time she was creating, Link came to ask her to eat. At that time, she was thinking of the key point and didn't want to be disturbed, so she couldn't help shouting "Get out" at him.

Now that I think about it, I feel very guilty.

 She sat in Link's arms, put her hands around his neck, and said softly: "My dear, I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."

"It doesn't matter, listen to your mother, you only lose your temper with people close to you, I won't mind."

Link asked while stroking her hair.

Taylor hugged his neck tightly and leaned against his chest and said: "I just watched some news. The public opinion outside is very unfriendly to you. Are you under a lot of pressure? I am your girlfriend. You can put your troubles aside." Tell me and we'll share."

“There’s not much pressure, really. I’m a world boxing champion, so no pressure can bother me.”

Link clenched his fists and smiled.

Taylor looked up at him and saw his confident face, his whole body was shining, and he couldn't help but smile: "My dear, I find that you seem to be getting more and more handsome."

"Eh? You also see it? So Miss Taylor, be gentle to me. With a super handsome guy like me as your boyfriend, you must have saved the earth in your previous life."

Link tapped the tip of her nose.

 “Beautiful!”

Tyler curled up his lips and smiled, couldn't help hugging him tightly and kissing him closely.

  —

 “I just asked you to make a statement and you wrote a song?”

Ms. Eva called and asked.

"Is not it good?"

Link asked, putting down the textbook in his hand.

“Okay, very good, but with such a good song, why not release a single record? It would be a waste to post it on YouTube.”

Miss Eva said regretfully.

Mandy called before and said that Link’s Twitter was posted and a new song was posted by the way.

She clicked on it and listened. When she heard the sentence "Sogivemereasontoprovemewrongtowashthissememoryclean", she was so shocked that she froze on the chair for more than ten seconds before she came back to her senses.

 The task she gave Link was to give everyone who accused him a reason to apologize.

Then Link wrote a song based on the phrase "Give me a reason". It was still such a powerful and exciting song.

Evaka also had to admire, this **** is so talented, so handsome, so powerful, and so talented, such a man

 “It doesn’t matter, I still have many good songs here, don’t worry about these one or two.”

Link said nonchalantly.

　　"That's what you said. Next time I want a song, don't tell me I don't have one."

"knew."

 After chatting for a while, Link hung up the phone and continued reading high school textbooks.

— — — Within 48 hours after Link opened Twitter, the number of people following him soared from 1 to 2 million, and the number is still growing.

After he tweeted asking for a reason, Kanye's fans flooded the page with comments, listing hundreds of mistakes for Link.

 But under the premise of freedom of speech, no one can give a definite ‘crime’.

Then many netizens commented that even if Link did nothing wrong, he should stand up and apologize. If he doesn't apologize, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the United States.

Many Internet celebrities also joined in, claiming that ‘even if Link is not wrong, he must stand up and apologize, because everyone thinks he is wrong, and if he does not stand up and apologize, he is arrogant and disrespectful, and this is wrong’.

 Speeches online and in the media are increasingly going too far.

Many dark-skinned celebrities also feel that something is wrong and want to suppress the dispute. However, once the fire is burned, it is difficult to put it out.

Until March 8, a report in the Miami Herald made everyone feel that they could no longer let it go.

The Miami Herald reported that on March 7, the Baker diving shop in Miami Beach was vandalized, smashed, and robbed by a group of black people, causing a loss of more than $5,000.

Four dark-skinned suspects were arrested afterwards. They claimed that they felt hurt by Link's arrogance after seeing those comments on the Internet, and that's why they took such drastic actions.

This news was immediately reprinted by newspapers such as the New York Post, USA Today, and American Express.

This news immediately caused a sensation across the United States and made many media calm down and start thinking about one thing.

 After two to three hundred years of oppression of dark-skinned people, and now that their people have taken over in Washington, will there be a huge change in the psychology and mentality of African Americans?

Does Kanye and others’ criticism of Link have anything to do with this change?

They now dare to target even world boxing champions and Olympic champions. Will they seek revenge on all light-skinned people in the future?

 Many people began to think about it, and many people expressed concerns.

Many celebrities also came forward to express support for Link, claiming that this matter is by no means a trivial matter, nor is it an exception, and must be taken seriously.

 However, because this topic is too serious, too sensitive, and too heavy, once it is discussed, it will inevitably affect social stability, economic recovery and development.

 Not only does Washington not want to see this happen, but the shareholders behind major media groups also don’t want to see it.

Several major media outlets in the United States have reached a consensus not to discuss this sensitive topic, but only to discuss the conflicts between Link, Kanye and others.

 After several discussions, I found that neither Link nor Kanye had big problems.

 Kanye has bipolar disorder and often causes trouble at public events. He has publicly criticized many people. He told reporters that Link was taking advantage of the financial crisis to make money, which was not the most outrageous statement he had ever made.

Link called Kanye sick, which is also true.

They have no problem, the problem is Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others. They made a big deal out of a small matter and pursued Link, which was obviously too much.

The New York Post believes that Lil Wayne’s accusation on the Grammy podium that Link, who was invited to attend the ceremony, was very rude and should apologize.

 On March 8, an article in the New York Daily News attracted widespread attention.

 The article stated that singers Kanye, Lil, 50 Cent, JAY-Z, T.I. and others are all Tyson’s boxing fans, and 50 Cent is even a friend of former WBA intercontinental boxing champion Jermaine Taylor.

 They once made some hostile remarks about Link on the Internet after he defeated Jermaine and Tyson.

Now that they see Link entering the music scene and surpassing Kanye and others in album sales, they are even more angry, and naturally they will not let Link go easily.

On March 9, the seventh day after the Grammy Awards, the Los Angeles Times and other reports published an investigation result in newspapers, providing a detailed analysis of Link’s disputes with Kanye, Lil, 50 Cent and others.



 The "Washington Post", "New York Times", "American Express" and other major newspapers have retweeted it and actively guided public opinion.

"This is real?"

Link looked at the newspaper and asked Anna, the assistant next to him.

“It’s true, after you defeated Tyson, Leal and others attacked you on MySpace. 50 Cent even wrote a rap, made it into a video and posted it on YouTube.”

 Anna turned on the computer and clicked on the video.

50 Cent and a few black singers, there were many words starting with F, and they scolded Link, saying that he bullied Tyson because he was too old. If Tyson was 10 years younger, he would definitely spank Link to the point where he would pee. They also said that no matter how powerful Link was, It can't stop a bullet either.

The video was released on December 10 last year and had more than 200,000 views.

“So the reason they’re having trouble with me is not because I’m selling more albums than they are, but because I’m boxing?”

“It should be a combination of two reasons. You defeated their idol in boxing, crossed over to become a singer, and surpassed the best Kanye in sales. They were even more angry, and that’s why they publicly disparaged your first album.”

Anna said.

Link shook his head helplessly, this is why there are so many popular people.

 For a person who becomes famous, this kind of thing is very common. If you become famous and your album sells well, it is equivalent to sharing someone else's cake.

 Perhaps those who attack him are not just Kanye, but also other peers or companies, with the purpose of defeating him as a potential competitor.

On the same day, Lear, 50 Cent and others appeared on the ABC TV talk show "The View" and publicly apologized to all the singers who participated in the Grammy Awards, as well as Link.

They claimed that after winning the award, they were too excited and said some things they shouldn't have said. They were sorry for the fans' support. The two immediately announced that they would donate US$200,000 to the United Nations Children's Fund to fund the education of poor children.

After reading the news, Link couldn't help but admire that these big shots were really good at playing tricks. They used one move to steal the news and eliminate the big event that almost caused turmoil.

Now among the people who took the lead in causing trouble, all of them, except Kanye, have apologized and donated money to charity. Do you want to forgive yourself?

Link thought for a while, and it seemed that he had no choice. When he was thinking about how to 'reconcile', Ms. Mandy called and said excitedly:

“Link, Michael Jackson’s manager called and invited you to attend his comeback concert in New York and have the opportunity to perform on the same stage as MJ.”

"real?"

Link stood up in surprise.
