Not a buddy?

Do you really need us to help you when you talk like that?

Although I already knew Zhou Yi's style, this was a live question-and-answer show, and the two hosts and one guest were obviously shocked by Zhou Yi's unreasonable way of expression - seeing is believing.

If the senior executives of the parent company Disney had not informed the senior executives of ABC TV and the staff of related programs early on to give Zhou Yi absolute freedom in the interview, I am afraid that the first thought that popped up in their minds now is to start over again.

Even if you sell the cheapest $30 version, you can't possibly get this number even if you sell 250 million albums in two weeks.

"Interesting statement Spike, we all know how dominant you are in album sales."

The male host Gunn pushed up his glasses and smiled, "But, you know, your album has encountered a lot of boycotts in the United States before it was even released. What do you think about this?"

"It's simple. I think those who look down on me have already formed an anti-Spike alliance in secret."

"Anti-Spike Alliance?"

"Yes, because I disrupted all their deployments and was beyond their control."

Zhou Yi shrugged, facing the camera and spreading his hands, saying: "Everyone knows that I never go along with the corrupt, and I will not accept any sugar-coated bullets from other forces..."

Zhou Yi spoke openly about the conspiracy theories prevalent in the American entertainment industry. His attitude seemed very sincere, and his meaning was very clear.

We were badly criticized by our competitors.

For some well-known reasons, conspiracy theories are extremely popular in the United States. Many people will choose to believe anything related to this theory.

"Eminem once publicly said in a TV interview that your promotional methods are black magic. He believes that you lack respect for music and musicians, and suggested that you should stay humble. He repeatedly repeated the phrase "stay humble". Do you have anything to say about this?"

Blonde host Leila mentioned Eminem's previous statement of "stay humble".

"No, I have absolutely nothing to say. In fact, it sounds ridiculous to me. Rather than black magic, I prefer to call it 24k magic. In fact, this song title in the new album is my answer.

"Besides..."

Zhou Yi sneered a few times and retreated tactically: "Dude, I'm Spike, my name is Spike, who the hell are you?"

"..."

"…Spike, this time both of your albums are released on the same day. Many people think this is a head-on showdown between you. Do you think you will lose?"

"I've never lost, not even once."

Zhou Yi raised an index finger and shook it, saying, "I don't know what it feels like to lose."

"But judging from your past performance, you do lack respect for others. Eminem is right, you have indeed won a lot of trophies, but that is based on-"

Before the guest observer finished speaking, Zhou Yi interrupted and said, "No, no, no, I don't agree with your point of view. On the contrary, I think it is Eminem himself who lacks respect and needs to remain humble."

Guest: "..."

"Do you know how many Grammys I have? Nine."

After saying this, Zhou Yi raised three fingers again and emphasized: "Two albums in the 30 million club, you should know what 30 million albums mean, and I also have nine Grammy trophies.

"What about them? Come on, their trophies combined don't have as many as I do.

"So, respect, respect, respect. You know?"

After repeating the word "respect" three times in a row, Zhou Yi finally put down his gesturing hand: "I am the one who needs to be respected."

"Ok Spike, of course you deserve respect, you are a legend."

The male host, who was always trying to flatter someone, took advantage of the situation and added with a smile, "Of course, I didn't say that. Your fans said that. They described you as a legend and said that there will never be another singer like you in the world. What do you think?"

"I agree with that, Gunn."

Zhou Yi laughed and nodded: "People always say that people can't become legends before they die, but I think I am an exception. I am a living legend."

"..." "..."

In the hotel, Xiao Yaxuan watched the entire second half while brushing her teeth mechanically. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, and even her brushing movements slowed down unconsciously.

If it weren't for the ABC commercial that woke her up, she might still be swinging her arms mechanically, brushing her teeth unconsciously.

At this moment, many viewers who were watching the ABC live interview like her had the same dazed expression.

"Go watch ABC! Quick! Spike's promotional live broadcast!"

"It's still the same smell. Spike, this smell of gunpowder is very strong."

"To be honest, what he said does make sense. Eminem has not sold as many albums as him, nor has he won as many Grammy Awards as him. Shouldn't Eminem be the one who should learn to respect him more?"

"Bullshit! He just opened his mouth!"

"Why did he only dare to compete with the Grammy trophy? Is it because he only bribed the Grammy judges?"

"You dare to show up, Tom? Isn't Spike going to turn your little Tom into ashes in an instant?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Bullshit! Spike is nothing but hype! And he's still a legend, ugh!"

"..."

While traditional media outlets were still working overtime on this part of the news release, the Internet, where information spreads faster, had already started a war of words -

Zhou Yi's fans, who are confident of his achievements, firmly occupy the commanding heights, while Eminem's fans are questioning whether Zhou Yi's global data is forcibly inflated to 30 million, especially in Asia and in his base in China. How come there are hundreds of thousands or millions of additional copies out of thin air?

"Why do so many people in China buy English albums? Do so many of them understand English?"

"Stupid, there are a lot of college students in China, and even more who know English!"

"And as for Japan, I don't even want to mention it, Japan actually contributed nearly three million copies twice. Spike is Chinese!"

"Why don't you say that the Japanese market is still Mariah Carey's backyard?"

"Can that be the same?"

"How dare there be people who dare to brag about being a legend? They have no shame at all!"

Some more radical Zhou Yi fans directly pulled up an Excel spreadsheet to show Zhou Yi's 360-degree all-around crushing of Eminem.

High sales comparison: win!

b. The most number of number one singles on the chart: wins!

Many Grammy Awards: Win!

Younger: Win big!

Eminem, you're already old enough and you're still showing up to act like a nobody!
Not to be outdone, Eminem fans also pulled up a form -

“Real and Reliable” Sales Comparison: Win!
There are many trophies at major award ceremonies across the United States: Win!

Hip-hop single winner: Win!
Mature and socially responsible: Win!

A large number of endorsements: big wins!

This group of people also started to photoshop the pictures. They found pictures of Zhou Yi and others with arms around each other, removed the people in the pictures, and changed them to look like the relevant stakeholders according to their needs.

For example, if they want to question the fake sales, they would pretend that Zhou Yi had a py transaction with the Global Phonographic Association;

If you want to question whether the trophy was manipulated, you can make it look like the two parties were secretly hugging each other, etc...

In response to this, Zhou Yi fans’ response was also very simple——

They put Zhou Yi's head on Spike's head from Tom and Jerry, and then put Eminem's head on Tom Cat's head;
Spike stood on one hand, holding a baseball bat in his left hand and a dog leash in his right hand. Under the leash was Tom the cat, who was on all fours with a loving look in his eyes. In the distance were a group of female cats that were vaguely visible...

They are all photoshopped!
Who wouldn’t!

For a while, all kinds of hanging pictures were flying all over the Internet, dazzling the viewers, and some of them made people wonder whether they were real or fake.
