Chapter 1583 North American Paparazzi Chase Them All the Way to China
Ye Zhi Qiu's "RAP GOD" immediately topped the trending charts in the United States.
The verbal battles on the show, Blaze's bet to "kiss a donkey's butt," and Ye Zhi Qiu's explosive and technically brilliant performance... all pushed the song's popularity to its peak.
Online, countless viewers have already begun to worship him.
"This is the craziest rap performance I've ever heard in my 30-plus years of life!"
"We were all wrong, Ye really might really be the god of rap..."
"RAP GOD? No, this is the Big Bang of RAP."
"After listening to this song, I knelt down and rethought the possibilities of human language. Ye Zhi Qiu is not human; he is a complete rapping machine!"
"I just printed out the lyrics, and now my printer is on fire! The density of the lyrics is just too ridiculous!"
"I tried to sing along, but now my tongue is tied. What's the emergency number?"
"If rap is the Olympics, Ye has already completed a quadruple axel that everyone thought was impossible, while Blaze is still learning to walk."
"Haha, I bet Blaze needs psychological counseling right now."
"Believe me, I'll buy this song so he can kiss a donkey."
In addition, there are many supporters of Blaise online who are still "resisting".
However, the rhetoric of this group has changed from the initial attacks such as "Asians don't understand rap at all" to "This is just an ordinary song".
As for the debate about "Ye Zhi Qiu's rapping lacking technique," it has completely disappeared.
Some fans have specifically analyzed "RAP GOD," a song with a total duration of 6 minutes and 3 seconds. It contains 1560 words, with approximately 1200 rhyming, resulting in a rhyme density of about 77%. Over 65% of the rhymes are multi-syllable rhymes...
This ratio is virtually unmatched in the realm of commercial rap songs.
This is a blatant demonstration of the ultimate use of rhyme as a weapon; it's Ye Zhi Qiu's technical manifesto.
Two days later, a news report confirmed this.
Guinness World Records announced that Ye Zhi Qiu's 15-second, high-speed rap segment starting at 4 minutes and 26 seconds in "RAP GOD" has set a new world record for "fastest rap segment in an English song" at a speed of 11.3 syllables per second.
This news caused another uproar online.
Everyone who heard this performance felt an extraordinary speed, but no one expected it to break a world record...
The most excited were undoubtedly the various entertainment media outlets.
What the onlookers are most eager to see right now is, of course, Blaze's reaction, one of the main characters.
"Fast-paced rapping" used to be Blaze's specialty, but this time his old tricks have been exposed.
When faced with media interviews, Blaze's initial response was quite tough.
"My opinion remains unchanged: I believe I am the better rapper!"
"Is rapping about who can rap the fastest? It's about the quality of the songs and the sales of the records!"
"No, I didn't say Ye Zhi Qiu doesn't understand rap. What I meant was, he can't be considered a great rapper yet..."
"How are you going to kiss a donkey's ass? FUXX!!"
Under the relentless scrutiny of entertainment reporters, Blaze grew increasingly annoyed and eventually resorted to refusing to answer any questions whenever he saw a reporter.
The entertainment media, always eager for a good spectacle, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity and turned their attention to another party involved, Ye Zhi Qiu.
Ye Zhi Qiu isn't in the US? No problem, a group of entertainment reporters flew straight to China, only to find nothing in Huahai City.
After finding out Ye Zhi Qiu's whereabouts through various channels, they rushed to the film and television base located on Jiaodao Island.
Coincidentally, Ye Zhi Qiu will be holding a press conference here.
Thompson, a senior reporter for the Los Angeles Daily News, was traveling with several entertainment reporters in a rented car to the Jiaodao Film and Television Base.
In fact, Thompson was originally in charge of reporting on the "Arts" section, which is a more professional area, rather than the "Entertainment" section that relies on gimmicks to attract attention.
The reason he was sent to China as a paparazzi was simply because he minored in Chinese in college, and the company believed he had a better chance of getting exclusive news.
The song "RAP GOD" was playing in the car, and several colleagues were chatting.
"Hey, I still can't believe this is a rap song sung by a non-Black person."
"Haha, Blaze thought so too. He's probably regretting it at home now, isn't he?"
"Well done! Teach this arrogant guy a lesson!"
“I asked a rapper privately, and he said that Ye Zhi Qiu’s ‘RAP GOD’ completely outclasses Blaze. It’s a level that Blaze can’t even reach.”
"To be honest, everyone in the industry is waiting for Blaze to kiss a donkey's ass, hahaha!"
When the group arrived at their destination, they were surprised to find that it seemed to be a press conference for a new movie.
The group was not invited, but they were lucky enough to sneak into the venue thanks to their journalist credentials and professional filming equipment.
Inside the venue, there were some posters, display stands and other promotional materials. The other reporters were not interested and were thinking about how to seize the opportunity to interview Ye Zhi Qiu, but Thompson, who understood Chinese, paid special attention to them.
This appears to be a Chinese science fiction film called "The Wandering Earth 2".
Thompson's main area of responsibility already included "film and television arts," so he was interested and searched for information online.
You wouldn't believe it until you searched; what you found was astonishing.
This is actually a sequel. Its predecessor, "The Wandering Earth," grossed over $6 million, with more than 95% of that box office revenue coming from the single market of China.
Today, he wants to interview Ye Zhi Qiu, the film's screenwriter, director, and lead actor...
What's even more interesting is that because of this film, Ye Zhi Qiu and internationally renowned sci-fi director Pierre apparently had a war of words, and in the end, Pierre was proven wrong.
This plot seems a bit familiar...
Rapper Blaze's experience seems to be similar to Pierre's back then, doesn't it?
Hollywood, with its haughty attitude, has always been reluctant to look at the film and television markets of other countries, so its information is actually relatively "closed off".
Thompson knew that Ye Zhi Qiu was an Emmy Award winner for Best Screenplay and was very good at writing scripts, but he did not expect that the other party was this good.
The movie "The Wandering Earth" grossed over $6 million in China alone. What about its global box office...?
Thompson doesn't know why the film wasn't released globally, but he imagines it's due to reasons such as access restrictions and costs.
But one thing is certain: Ye Zhi Qiu has proven that his works can sell well in both Eastern and Western markets.
However, due to various reasons, they failed to form a united force.
If one day these two abilities could be "merged," what kind of amazing works would be created?
In fact, Ye Zhi Qiu has already achieved this in the music field.
His performance of "We Will Rock You" at the World Cup opening ceremony has reached billions of households worldwide and is destined to become a timeless classic...
As a seasoned journalist with many years of experience, Thompson keenly sensed that there seemed to be many stories to uncover behind this film.
