Chapter 526 Super Chorus

#My biggest wish is that there won’t be any more heroes like me#
#May the world be peaceful,Peace and Love#
#One day#
Three entries, three hot searches, were listed on the hot search lists of major domestic Internet platforms, and netizens were discussing them enthusiastically.

Overseas, Xu Xiyu's words "My biggest wish is that there will never be another hero like me" directly made the front pages of major American media and were soon reprinted in major media in other countries.

Accompanied by the "Xi Yu capturing the gun" picture taken when he subdued the gunman before, as well as the two songs "One day" and "Heaven", and the ocarina with the words "May world peace, Peace and Love" written on it.

These things have increased his already popular attention by an order of magnitude.

And this is just the beginning.

Before Xu Xiyu left Los Angeles, he and Nancy "conspired" for a whole night.

This time, the two of them can be said to have truly put aside their "mental defenses" and had an in-depth chat about the future direction and development of cooperation.

Nancy must be interested in going into politics, which is the best way out for someone like her who has no chance of inheriting the family inheritance.

Coincidentally, Xu Xiyu also hopes that Nancy can stand up.

After all, who can predict what will happen in the next few decades?
It is worth mentioning that although Nancy is on good terms with me, there are many American political figures who are friends with the Chinese. This will not affect her development. She can just "break off relations" with them when necessary.

Based on this consideration, Nancy told Xu Xiyu that she would try to get a seat in the Los Angeles City Council this year.

In two years, when her term as a congressman ends, she will either consider taking a further step and run for a state legislator, or directly announce her candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles in four years.

Regardless of whether she can be elected successfully or not, her campaign experience is her qualification, and she is still young anyway.

However, no matter which path Nancy chooses, there is one thing she must do, and that is to start accumulating personal reputation.

Now is a good time to accumulate personal reputation.

Speaking of which, when Xu Xiyu was copying the song "One Day", there was an image that always lingered in his mind, that was the scene of thousands of people singing together.

He wanted to replicate this scene, but it was not realistic because the US authorities would never allow a Chinese like him to do such a thing in the United States.

Nancy is different. She can do this without any scruples.

However, Nancy and Xu Xiyu estimated that it would be difficult to gather the "10,000 people" in the chorus of 10,000 people through conventional means in a short period of time.

But as the saying goes, "Opportunity lost, never comes again", we cannot delay any longer, we have to do it as soon as possible.

Moreover, if it is delayed for too long, it will be easy for other people to interfere, thus making the gathering and singing go bad.

So, Xu Xiyu and Nancy discussed a different approach. Since they couldn't complete the "Gathering Fire" chorus of 10,000 people, they could just light sparks around the world.

As long as there are a few important countries around the world that hold a "chorus of a hundred people", if it is hyped properly, its impact on public opinion may not be weaker than that of a "chorus of ten thousand people".

Compared to organizing a chorus of tens of thousands of people, organizing a few "choruses of a hundred people" is really too easy, all you have to do is spend money.

In fact, there is no need to spend money. As mentioned before, Blue Star is not peaceful. The war started a few years ago, so Xu Xiyu wrote "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

The war that prompted him to write "Tomorrow Will Be Better" has not ended yet, and the war has even spread to other places.

It is a proper and appropriate way to call for "peace" by singing "One Day" at this time, and it will easily get a response.

However, everything needs a starting point, and Nancy couldn't just organize a chorus for no reason, and this starting point soon came.

Just half a day after Xu Xiyu’s “One Day” was published, a piece of news appeared on the Internet.

[It is reported that when Xu Xiyu was paying tribute to the victims, the ocarina with the words "May the world be peaceful, Peace and Love" written on it was smashed by a mysterious masked man. Currently, the local police in Los Angeles have intervened in the investigation...]

It has to be said that sometimes humans have a very high judgment on the value of certain "intentional items", such as some special souvenirs.

By the same token, for many netizens, the "Ocarina" left by Xu Xiyu is still of great commemorative and symbolic value.

Such a valuable ocarina was smashed after being placed there for only half a day. Many netizens who saw the news were immediately furious.

Especially on foreign websites, when foreigners act sarcastic, that's quite the essence.

One of the comments from a US netizen received countless likes. He said, "It turns out that Peace and Love cannot exist on American soil. LMAO (I am dying of laughter)"

Some people even started a bet in the comment section: [I bet it will take the Los Angeles police three months to catch this mysterious man]

Of course, more people are condemning the person who smashed the ocarina. No one understands why he smashed the ocarina. What benefit does it bring to him?
Even Nancy didn't understand.

That’s right, this person was not arranged by Nancy. In her and Xu Xiyu’s estimation, if the ocarina was placed there, it would most likely be stolen and sold.

It was precisely because it might be stolen that Xu Xiyu placed an ocarina there instead of sending flowers like others did. What he wanted from the very beginning was to be stolen.

Whenever the ocarina was stolen, Nancy would go there as Xu Xiyu's friend to accept media interviews, then start to condemn it and organize a chorus of "One Day". Unexpectedly, the thief did a better job and smashed the ocarina directly, which made the chorus more justified.

The next morning, US time, was also when Xu Xiyu had just landed in China.

Nancy took reporters to the scene of the incident and publicly condemned such behavior.

In front of the camera, she said: "I feel very sad, and I believe my good friend Xu will also be very sad after knowing this.

Because this is not just about an ocarina, this ocarina carries his, my, and every peace-loving person's prayers and hopes for peace.

But this "prayer for peace" was smashed to pieces. Seeing its fragments, I couldn't help but think of those who died in the war.

Every day, every hour, every minute, people are dying because of war. We can't go on like this, we need peace.

So I will hold a gathering here tonight and I will sing "One Day" with everyone who wants peace.

After this interview was leaked, Nancy's compassionate yet resolute expression, coupled with her exquisite face, instantly attracted a lot of attention and support from netizens.

Xu Xiyu, who had just returned to China, also provided an assist at this time. He posted the same content on all his social media accounts at home and abroad.

[I decided to license my songs "One Day" and "Tomorrow Will Be Better" to everyone for free. Anyone can use it for free, including making localized adaptations of the lyrics. Finally, I wish world peace! ]

Below this text, Xu Xiyu also placed a photo.

The photo is cut into two parts. The left part shows the children who are experiencing war, and the right part shows the children in China.

The two children are in the same posture, but their situations are completely different. One is sitting on the bombed ruins and crying, while the other is sitting on a park bench and laughing.

Such a strong contrast naturally quickly attracted the attention of a large number of netizens and media.

It was at this point in time that a large number of photos and news of the war zone were dug up, adding fuel to the attention of this chorus.

With this level of attention, the gathering event Nancy announced received a greater response, and many young people in Los Angeles began to drive to Monterey Garden City.

Following the trend is not just something that is exclusive to Chinese people, it is also true abroad.

By the same token, riding on the popularity of others is not a skill that only domestic celebrities have, foreign artists also do it.

A place like Los Angeles is the base camp for celebrities. No one can count how many dreamers who want to become famous there are in Hollywood. There is no way they would give up such an opportunity.

Not only them, but even Luciano, Roman and Scarlett, the three contestants who had originally supported Xu Xiyu, saw such a good situation in front of them, and it would be a waste if they didn't show up.

So, they also announced on social media that they would attend the party. As soon as they announced it, more celebrities and artists also planned to come.

So you lead me and I lead yours, and when night fell, Nancy was surprised to find that the number of people who came far exceeded her expectations.

Looking around, there were densely packed heads everywhere, perhaps the number of people exceeded ten thousand.

With so many people, the Los Angeles police naturally mobilized a large number of police officers to maintain order, and reporters from major media also joined in.

As time went by, people from the state and city also showed up.

This almost pissed off Lacy Curry to death.

Because he found that if Nancy was a little slower and delayed the party for two or three days, he would have the opportunity to make a fuss at the party.

Unfortunately, Nancy moved too quickly, as if she was afraid that something else might be mixed in.

This is indeed the case. As I said before, Nancy and Xu Xiyu don't want to delay at all. If they delay, some things will go wrong.

And another point is that the time Nancy chose for the party happened to be the time when the Hugo Awards were presented.

In Nancy's eyes, this was a moment that belonged exclusively to her and Xu Xiyu. When Luciano and others came over, Nancy was very disgusted. How could she give others the opportunity to take advantage?

Time passed by minute by minute, and the band was making the final adjustments.

Many people who came to the scene were doing the final practice of the lyrics on their mobile phones.

We all took music lessons when we were young, and one hour is actually enough to learn a song.

The chorus of "One Day" is about to begin.

On the other hand, the Hugo Awards are also counting votes.
