Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

This semi-finished new song "Apeacefulday" quickly exceeded 100 million views on the first day it was uploaded to Youtube.

There are no dazzling stage effects, no elaborate shapes, and no elaborate arrangements.

It's just a singer, holding a guitar, singing a song quietly.

Just like this incident many years later, "Rolling Stone" magazine summed it up——

A girl hugged a guitar and bombarded the entire social system with music.

Elisa's choice of open authorization and the three requirements soon showed its power.

Many cover artists on Youtube quickly gave their cover versions. After negotiating with Youtube officials, this cover and lyrics activity was quickly placed in the most prominent advertising area on the top of the Youtube homepage.As Alyssa uploaded her own cover version, a lot of celebrities in the entertainment circle joined in this activity. After contacting Alyssa, Adam re-edited the band's version and uploaded it to his Youtube account.

It only took three days from Elisa uploading the video, launching the event, and having the impact it has today.

For three days, everything turned upside down.

The anti-gun demonstrations, which had already shown a weak trend, were revived immediately because of this activity initiated by Elisa, as if they had been given a booster.Under the trend of public opinion this time, Twitter and Facebook temporarily let go of user competition, and launched a panel discussion with similarities and minor differences on the same day.

Although there are still many people who insist that holding guns is the legal right of citizens, they have slowly begun to agree that there are problems with the control of guns in the face of discussions on the Internet.As one well-known mass shooting survivor put it, “Before I experienced a shooting myself, I always thought that we had no problem with gun regulation in our country. But all this thought after experiencing a shooting Complete change. I don’t know exactly how to act, but I do understand one thing, this should not be normal.”

More and more voices of public opinion are pointing the finger at the government that has not spoken out for a long time, and the police's ambiguous remarks have undoubtedly exacerbated the public's distrust and doubts.

And under the discussion of related topics on Twitter, there is a message that has received the most approval——

'Everyone who wears a gun for self-defense will have such an illusion that if something happens, it will definitely trigger a series of dangerous consequences that threaten his own safety, and when such things happen, he will Guns must be used to protect oneself.But this perception is not accurate.

Airbags protect us, security doors protect us.

But the gun won't. '

Reporters from various newspapers also waved their pens and joined the discussion in the whole society. Their words were sharper than the debates on the Internet.

This social discussion has been boiling all the way, and every act of suppressing the heat will only lead to more violent backlash. After several unsuccessful attempts, they finally realized dully that this time it was not a government spokesperson who came out to express his position. Things that can be easily overturned.

At this moment, listening to the request on the other end of the phone, Tony rolled his eyes unceremoniously, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and lazily replied, "No."

Hearing the tone on the other end of the phone ranging from gentle persuasion to half-threats, and finally to exasperation, Tony's answer to the other party was always only one, "No, I refuse."

"I, refusal, refusal." It seemed that he was worried that the person on the other end might not hear clearly, so Tony repeated it maliciously.

Satisfied with the busy signal from the phone, Tony whistled in a good mood, and dragged the phone number just now into the blacklist of the phone's address book without any hesitation.Just thinking about the ugly face of the government official responsible for contacting him would make Tony feel good.

Want him to persuade Eliza to change her position?

I don't know which politician who can't figure it out patted his head and came up with a crooked idea.

After thinking for a while, Tony picked up the phone again, and blocked Director Fury in a hurry.

At the same time, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was on a video call with a politician, seemed furiously listening to the busy signal on the other end of the phone, frowning tightly, and an impatient expression appeared on his dark face.It wasn't until the last busy tone landed that the person on the other end of the video call withdrew his gaze and exchanged a few words before hanging up.

As soon as the video call was cut off, the expression on Nick Fury's face immediately regained his composure. He turned to Agent Coulson behind him and couldn't help but sneered, "The group of brainless politicians don't know what they are doing. One idea is more fanciful than the other..."

Coulson looked at the unfeigned impatience on Fury's face, "Where is Mr. Stark?"

"It's impossible for them to just call me. There is a high probability that they will come to me after being rejected by Stark." Director Fury touched his chin and thought for a while, "You and Stark have a little talk about this matter. No matter what kind of request they make, just refuse it."

……

The discussion on whether to promote the ban on guns continues. At this time, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced the results of a new round of sales certification.

Founded in 1952, the Recording Industry Association of America is a trade group representing the U.S. recording industry, and nearly 85 percent of legally recorded music produced and distributed in the U.S. is composed, produced, and distributed by RIAA members. The award program established by RIAA since 1958 is still one of the authoritative sales certification methods in the American mainstream music industry. The well-known names such as "Platinum Record" and "Diamond Record" are also derived from this plan.

Although the physical record industry is declining day by day, RIAA still insists on using sales volume as the only criterion for selection.

To apply for RIAA sales certification, you need to declare materials in advance, and this is the first time Elisa has applied for sales certification. Although her actions are not well known to the public, it is not difficult for people in the music industry to know what Elisa did this time. , Compared with the general public, they are the group of people who are more concerned about the results of the RIAA this time.

It is an indisputable fact that Eliza's record and single sales are very good, but there is no way to calculate the level of her record sales from the previous data.

Gold record?Or Platinum?

It's not that no one thought about the direction of diamond records, it's just that they suppressed the idea as soon as it came out.After all, even before the decline of the physical record industry, there were only a handful of albums that could be certified by diamond records, let alone today. RIAA Diamond certification requires 1 million sales, which is almost impossible today.

but……

What if?

People who click on the official website of RIAA will immediately see the most conspicuous banner at the top of the page——

The blond-haired female singer stood amidst countless fluttering dots of fluorescent lights, singing unrestrainedly, her blue eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars.There is a blue square on the right side of the banner, which puts the cover and title of Eliza's first album "ELISALIN".

The moment they saw this banner, many people gasped and instantly understood the meaning behind this picture.

A new diamond record is born!

In the list released by the RIAA this time, Elisa, who applied for RIAA record certification for the first time, declared her existence with strong sales results.

The first album "ELISALIN" was certified by Diamond Records;

The second album "FemaleForce" was certified platinum and sold 870 million copies. For a record released last year, it is not impossible to hit a diamond record.

Among the [-] songs included in the two albums, three singles including "WHY" have received diamond certification, five singles have received platinum certification, and the remaining twelve singles have also received gold certification. Record certification.

What is even more surprising is that the songs that Eliza declared this time also include "Together", which was released after the concert, and has also been certified as a gold disc.

Such dazzling results made Elisa become the most watched singer recently.

Although she is young, Eliza can definitely bear the praise of "top class" no matter in terms of performance or strength.

In the recent news, as long as there is a little bit of contact with the entertainment industry, Elisa's name cannot be avoided.As Elisa was repeatedly mentioned in the media last time, it not only brought her another skyrocketing number of fans, but also her recently released Youtube video once again attracted attention.It's just that the influence this time is far from limited to the United States. Many foreign netizens have also noticed shooting cases in the United States because of this video and song.

These global netizens who are not American citizens are even more unkind in their criticism of this case.After the shootings in Florida and the Yale University campus shootings, the #Neveragain# rally and protest demonstrations that have continued until now have never stopped, and have spread from Florida to the whole of the United States.

Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more serious, and the government departments can no longer pretend to be stupid and try to confuse the past, the spokesperson of the White House publicly responded to this incident at the latest press conference, expressing that the government is very saddened by the recent cases , and are actively discussing specific measures.

At this time, Elisa quietly returned to New York and met a special person in the training room Tony prepared for her.
