Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"After the intimate dressing room video of Link and Emma was exposed, it was the most explosive news in America’s entertainment industry for two consecutive days and also a hot topic internationally."

Including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Times, Yomiuri Shimbun, Bild, and almost all world-class media outlets reported on the incident.

Even the most conservative North Korea Daily criticized this disgraceful phenomenon in the Western entertainment industry.

Online, netizens’ discussions about the incident also reached an extreme height, and it was later named by Time Magazine as "one of the top ten internet sensations of 2010."

According to Twitter’s data department, within 48 hours of the video being exposed, ’Link’ was mentioned 580 million times in user tweets, Emma Watson was mentioned 190 million times, Taylor was mentioned 87 million times, ’scumbag’ was mentioned 63 million times, and ’private video’ was mentioned 58 million times.

There were also YouTube, Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Facebook, and other mainstream news and social networking sites.

Within 48 hours, the total play count for the video reached 450 million times.

If it was the three albums and several hit songs that made Link’s name known to many, it was this video that made his face and shirtless body familiar to many more.

This is the power of scandalous news—it is more attractive than boxing matches, movies, songs, and even knowledge itself.

It stirs up curiosity and desire to the maximum; driven by desire, everyone who heard about the incident, regardless of gender, couldn’t resist clicking on the video to find out for themselves.

If, before the video was exposed, everyone’s impression of Link was that of a handsome, sunny, strong young man, after the video, their impression gradually changed to that of a mature, sexy male.

Whether this transformation is good or bad cannot yet be assessed.

"Link is out!"

At noon, as soon as he walked out of the Los Angeles International Airport terminal, hundreds of reporters wielding microphones and cameras shouted loudly, surrounding him from all sides and throwing one tricky question after another.

"Link, as a public idol, while having a girlfriend, you still had relations with another woman in the dressing room. This has disappointed many fans, will you step forward and apologize to your fans?" Stay updated via

"Mr. Baker, it’s rumored that Miss Swift is preparing to break up with you, is this news true?"

"Mr. Baker, British media reported that you and Miss Emma Watson have been dating since 2008 and it hasn’t stopped to this day. They believe that you are accused of deceiving the feelings of both Miss Emma Watson and Miss Taylor Swift, do you accept this accusation?"

"Mr. Baker, Kanye West has called you a hypocrite, a guy who pretends to be the perfect man on the outside, not smoking, drinking, or doing drugs, but does all the bad things in private, do you agree with Kanye’s assessment?"

Reporters stretched out their microphones from a distance, as if on the battlefield, pointing spears and swords at an enemy.

Link, wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses, said nothing while being escorted by bodyguards like Bob and Wallace. He just waved to fans who came to pick him up, then he got into the nanny car.

His and Emma’s scandalous video was, no matter how you looked at it, a scandal, and in the face of many questions, explanations were useless and wouldn’t change the facts.

But maintaining silence and not providing fresh material for the media would reduce the heat instead.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

After Link got into the car, Mandy, who came to take over, stood in front of the van and shouted, "Regarding the video of Link and Miss Emma Watson that is circulating on the internet, aside from the first three minutes, the rest of the content is all edited and spliced together. We have already explained this on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms. Please be cautious in your reporting. For the media and individuals who infringe on Link’s right to reputation, Link Music will pursue related legal responsibilities.

"Furthermore, regarding the issue with the video, our company will hold a press conference next Wednesday. I’ll post the specific time and place on Link’s Twitter account, so please keep an eye out."

"Link, I love you!"

"Link, we support you!"

In the airport exit square, many fans were holding his posters and shouting loudly. At a glance, there were over a thousand people, with more than seventy percent being young women.

Link waved from the car, responding to the fans, and their shouting grew even louder.

"Have these fans gone mad? They know Link’s a scumbag, yet they still come to the airport to support him."

Mike, a reporter from the San Francisco Forum Report, looked at the crowd of fans who kept shouting Link’s name, many of whom were very pretty girls, and felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

Tim, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, holding his camera, took a couple of pictures of the fans and said, "Do you know when the best time to test a fan’s loyalty is?"

"Fan loyalty?"

Mike thought for a moment, "When releasing an album, are the ones who are willing to spend money on the album considered true fans?"

"No, it’s when the idol encounters a low point, just like everyone experiences lows in life, idols do too. Fans who choose to stay by their idol’s side and support them when their career is at its lowest, those fans will feel a greater sense of satisfaction and may even move themselves when their idol rises again, as if they’ve accompanied the idol through trials by fire and sword.

My daughter, who just started middle school, told me many of her classmates are Link’s fans. Right now, they’re using all kinds of ways to support Link, preparing to help him through this tough time, so coming to the airport isn’t really a big deal," said Tim, shrugging his shoulders.

Reporter Mike frowned, "What’s with young people these days? Even if the latter part of the video was edited, the fact that Link and Emma Watson kissed in the dressing room remains true. Link’s a womanizer, so why does he still have so many fans supporting him?"

Reporter Tim laughed and said, "If you are deeply in love with a woman, someone like Marilyn Monroe, and you hear she has cheated, would you stop loving her? If you give up, and you can’t tolerate any flaws or mistakes, it just means your love wasn’t deep enough, you’re a fake fan."

Mike opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words. He realized he indeed wasn’t a good fan.

By the time Link drove back to his Santa Monica Bay villa, it was noon.

Although the latitude of Los Angeles is higher than Miami and it also has a Mediterranean climate, the midday sun was still quite intense. The pine trees, oak trees, and metasequoias in front of the villa seemed even more lush than they were a few days ago.

Standing in front of the main villa, except for the sound of the wind and the occasional birds flying by, everything seemed very quiet.

He looked up at the second-floor piano room. Mandy had told him Taylor was still holed up in the house, eating and sleeping and using the restroom regularly, but not speaking to anyone—it was a situation that Link was very worried about.

"Don’t worry, which couple doesn’t have conflicts? Once you see Taylor, just explain things to her, she will forgive you," Ms. Mandy said, smiling reassuringly.

Link looked at her, then at Anna, as well as Wallace and Bob. Finally, with everyone’s encouragement, he stepped into the villa.
