After hearing Taylor's words, Fly's mind felt As if it had been hit hard.
Because he suddenly felt that he was still too naive.
Compared to a phenomenon-level superstar like Taylor, who had proven in her previous life that she could stay popular for over a decade, constantly ascending, and eventually reaching a height where no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
His experience in this area was still too lacking.
He had to admit, Taylor was right; he had been ignoring this point all along.
Thinking about it now, even when Taylor reached the status of the 'World's Number One Female' in her previous life, her behavior and interactions with others in front of various cameras remained unchanged compared to before.
Let's not talk about visiting sick children in hospitals, which could be interpreted As a show.
Just the act of her being photographed by the media giving tips to the staff at the football stadium privately directly blew other celebrities out of the water.
There is a good old saying in East Asia: one can infer the whole picture from a small detail; you only need to look at some subtle actions of a person to judge what kind of person they likely are.
In North America, a place rife with weed, drugs, guns, and promiscuity, the only celebrities who were subjected to online bullying across the entire internet for being mocked As 'white lotuses' were Taylor and Annie Hathaway.
If either of them had done anything excessive, they would have been caught by the omnipresent paparazzi long ago.
The result was that Taylor could only be attacked by using her frequent boyfriends As a black mark, while the less emotionally experienced Annie Hathaway could only be attacked by the American public through conspiracy theories.
In the United States, no one likes a person without significant flaws.
Because in the eyes of the American public, everyone needs to have at least one significant flaw—remember, a significant flaw, not some minor, unsavory black mark.
A person without significant black marks is destined not to be liked by the American public.
It was only later when Taylor completely let herself go, no longer maintaining her previous good-girl image, and no longer deliberately trying to lose weight, that she attracted more casual fans in this land.
For such a phenomenon-level superstar who had a tight plan for her own life, her advice was something Fly absolutely had to listen to.
"I understand, elder sister, I will change my bad habits in the future." Fly couldn't guarantee he could do it immediately, but he still showed the necessary attitude.
Taylor heard that her boyfriend was so willing to listen, so she touched his face with her hand and leaned in for a kiss.
"Good boy, elder sister won't harm you. As long As you follow elder sister's ideas, there will be no problem staying popular for a long time in the future." After speaking, Taylor's biting became more intense.
Fly felt the temperature of the flesh pressed tightly against his body gradually rising.
Since things had come to this, he naturally knew what to do next.
Without saying more, Fly counterattacked Taylor, wildly pouring saliva into her mouth.
Before long, the clothes of the two gradually fell to the ground.
A live spring palace show thus unfolded step by step...
Outside, London's November winter was still cold, with the Atlantic sea breeze rustling.
Inside, spring was in full bloom, and two passionate life forms were engaging in the most primitive sport in human history.....
(Ten thousand words omitted here...)
...
The news of Fly running the 100 meters in under 9.69 seconds exploded throughout European football and even world football that day.
Many football professionals were stunned by what Fly had achieved.
Wait, big brother, are you actually serious?
This was the first thought in most people's minds.
Even many players, after hearing about this, took to Twitter to express their astonishment.
Fly found a few that looked good among them, liked them, and then headed to Kearney Training Base for training.
When he woke up this morning, he checked his latest Twitter follower count. After the Guinness official live broadcast yesterday, Fly's Twitter followers were approaching 3 million and were still surging.
Fly had also registered accounts on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, and the number of followers on these two platforms was also increasing rapidly.
His agent, Allen, even suggested that Fly register a Weibo account. There were quite a few people in East Asia who were paying attention to Fly now, especially football fans; almost no one didn't know the name Fly.
Fly had an open attitude towards this. Although in his previous life, As an ordinary person, he disliked Weibo, considering it a public toilet.
But in this life, As a public figure, Weibo's ability to create fan circles was definitely a benefit for him.
He also became one of the first people to register on Instagram, which was born in San Francisco at the end of last month. He wanted to preemptively snatch Cristiano Ronaldo's future title of the first person on Instagram.
Arriving at Kearney Training Base, Fly found that there were still many media reporters outside. Almost As soon As he arrived, this group of people swarmed forward.
If it weren't for the protection of security personnel, Fly would have definitely been surrounded by this group of crazy reporters.
After entering the base, Fly greeted his teammates who arrived one after another and chatted with Wilshere, Fabregas, and others about the public frenzy surrounding him.
Wilshere and the others expressed their extreme envy of Fly's current outrageous popularity. Fabregas even stated directly that even Andrés Iniesta, who scored the only goal in the World Cup final this year, didn't have such terrifying popularity As Fly.
There was no way around it! Who made Fly's matter completely go viral outside the football circle?
You know, many people have scored goals in the World Cup final, but how many have broken through the circle?
For example, Götze, who scored the winning goal against Argentina in 2014 in the previous life, how many people outside the football circle knew his name?
Really not many!
The shock caused by a football player running the 100 meters in 9.69 seconds in front of the public media has long surpassed the limit a football player can reach in the football field.
Even when Messi scored 91 goals in one year in his previous life (2012), not many people who didn't follow football knew about it.
People outside the football circle only knew the name Messi.
As for which country Messi was from, which club he played for, how many Champions Leagues he had won in his career, or how many Ballons d'Or, they knew nothing.
But Fly's matter directly made these people who didn't follow football at all know him.
Perhaps many of them didn't know what a concept 9.69 seconds for 100 meters was, nor did they know that the 100-meter world record was 9.58 seconds.
But they knew one thing: that Fly had done something incredibly awesome, and that was enough.
As long As this group of people had this concept, this impression in their minds, it was a huge success for Fly.
Wilshere, Fabregas, and these people were also public figures; they naturally knew the immense wealth that Fly's matter could bring him.
But they couldn't be jealous, after all, this kind of thing could only be done by Fly alone.
Let alone 9.69 seconds for 100 meters, even being able to run under 10 seconds would be an earth-shattering event!
Now, major media outlets and newspapers in the United Kingdom were mercilessly dominated by Fly.
Even the most popular football matches had to temporarily avoid the spotlight in front of the news of Fly running the 100 meters in 9.69 seconds.
The same was true in other European countries. World Sport, As, Sky Sports, France Football, and many other famous football newspapers all put the news of Fly running the 100 meters in 9.69 seconds on their front pages.
Again, football matches happen every day. Even if a player scores seven or eight goals in a game, it's not unprecedented, just very unlikely.
But what Fly did was truly unprecedented and likely will be difficult to replicate.
To put it in a smaller context, Fly's 100-meter time of 9.69 seconds is the pride of the entire football industry.
Because Fly's identity is, after all, a professional football player, what he did can make others in the industry feel honored.
To put it in a larger context, Fly became the first and only non-black person in human history to run the 100 meters under the 10-second mark.
This is also a huge encouragement for billions of yellow and white people around the world.
Although European countries have received many black immigrants in recent years, they are ultimately white-majority societies, and what Fly did naturally made these European white people feel very proud.
As for East Asia and Southeast Asia, places where yellow people are concentrated, they also cheered for Fly.
The most fanatical among them was not even a certain China, but the island nation of Japan.
The moment Japan learned that Fly had run the 100 meters in 9.69 seconds, the entire domestic media exploded, and various chuunibyou titles were coined.
"Empire Storm Dragon," "Yellow Lightning," "Oriental Divine Beast," "Thunder Lightning Storm Raptor".....
There are only nicknames you can't think of, not ones they can't come up with.
As for the Korean'sticks' on the peninsula, besides their media loudly proclaiming "Pride of the Yellow Race," they even invited several historians to analyze Fly's relationship with Korea from a historical perspective.
Thus, it was 'confirmed' that Fly's ancestors, specifically Dad Li, had Korean blood. Fly didn't know how they confirmed it, but they just did!
Dad Li either didn't hear about this or couldn't be bothered to respond publicly to the'sticks'' baseless remarks.
Based on Fly's understanding of his dad, he probably felt that personally getting involved would give the'sticks' too much face, so he didn't respond.
Otherwise, given the nature of the'sticks'' media, the more you engage with them, the more excited they get.
At that time, just use connections privately to teach those spewing nonsense media a lesson and be done with it.
And in the United States, Fly's name finally reached the ears of most Americans.
Almost all American television stations, media outlets, and newspapers briefly recounted Fly's story.
Fly guessed that while this was partly due to the sensational nature of what he did, more importantly, it was because his dad and mom were working behind the scenes.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for the highly factionalized American media to collectively focus on reporting the same event.
This wasn't 9/11; given the nature of American media, they usually don't pay that much attention to external matters.
What Fly did was indeed incredibly impressive, but getting the conservative American media to report on it extensively would be almost impossible without other factors intervening.
This series of events triggered by an unintentional interview really made Fly win big.
