Not only did Thomas reach an agreement with the LAPD on behalf of Martin, but Warner TV also reached an agreement with the LAPD.
All TV stations are frantically reporting on the relevant news, and only Warner TV has exclusive footage.
The video taken by Helen did not contain any content that was unacceptable to the LAPD. For the sake of ratings and popularity, the video was specially cut into several segments and played on TV news at different times.
Warner TV is crazy.
Helen, who personally hosted the show, also found the best excuse and reason: because she fled in a hurry, the DV was damaged, and technicians were working overnight to repair the storage disk.
Warner TV used this comment on the six o'clock evening news headline - Los Angeles hero: Martin Davis!
The video played was of Martin Convenience Store rescuing someone.
Helen, who took credit for filming the video on the spot, personally hosted the news report, and her voice choked up when she mentioned Martin several times.
"I don't know how to thank him. A person who can stand up bravely in the face of a gun deserves the title of hero. He saved sixteen people, including me!"
No need to boast, because the video taken by Helen speaks for itself!
All four major television networks followed suit, and various news channels broadcast it on a rolling basis.
Before leaving the scene, Martin appeared in front of media reporters and allowed them to take photos of his blood-stained body.
Today, each of his live photos sells for tens of thousands of dollars.
Martin Davis's name spread throughout North America in an instant as the media reported frantically.
Many European media, such as the BBC and Sky TV, immediately reprinted the relevant news. The video and images of Martin during the shooting spread to North America and also caused great repercussions in Europe.
Martin was linked to Helen, and multiple related videos appeared on the Internet that night.
From running away in panic when being attacked by gunmen, to desperately fighting back when faced with a desperate situation.
Among them, the most widely circulated is what Martin said after he got out of danger, picked up the gun from the ground, rushed out of the convenience store, and turned around: "My brother is outside!"
The comments on the Internet can only be described as crazy.
"This sentence made me cry!"
"I also want to have a brother like this!"
"I'm going to say this, I will never say anything bad about Martin in my life!"
The name Martin Davis ranked first on Google's hot search keywords that night.
Countless netizens flocked to leave messages on Martin's blog.
"I watched the video on the news, and although I don't like your movie, you are really a hero!"
"Originally, I thought that seeing someone in the other side of the mountain and blowing up the perverted murderer was an exaggeration of movie art, but now I know that it was a true portrayal of you!"
"Martin is a true hero!"
Thousands of similar comments were queued up in the blog area, and by around 10 p.m., the number had exceeded 50,000.
Some of the cheerleaders who survived were interviewed as they left school.
NBC aired an interview with an ordinary girl.
"We all thought we were dead at that time. The classmate next to me was so scared that she peed her pants." The girl, wearing a coat around her waist, said typical of my classmate's remarks: "It was Martin who stood up! He took the risk and hid in the door closest to the gunman. Behind the counter, he subdued the gunman regardless of his own safety. When I looked secretly, I saw him hitting the gunman on the head with Coke..."
At the same time, at NBC News, the channel manager held an emergency meeting in the office and shouted to his subordinates: "I want the detailed information of Martin Davis! Also, contact him and let him be on our show. It’s not a damn entertainment show, I want him to be on the news, the most serious news program!”
CNN, which is headquartered in Atlanta, even called Kelly Gray inviting Martin to be interviewed.
ABC launched a relationship overnight and called WAM's Ali Emmanuel.
Ali has already communicated with Thomas that Martin's exposure is so high that he does not need to appear on special programs. rashly participating in some programs may have the opposite effect and he will be rejected directly.
Besides, there will definitely be an official press conference from Los Angeles later.
At ten o'clock in the evening in Los Angeles, Warner TV's evening news reached a new peak in ratings. Tens of millions of viewers across the United States stayed in front of their televisions, waiting for the latest video of the shooting.
This is a scene of Martin and the three being forced into a corner.
Since both parties reached an agreement with the LAPD, the news story became that Martin and the others were waiting for the LAPD to come to the rescue and cooperated with the LAPD to distract the gunman.
Martin was performing the whole time.
"Because I am the leader of the Coke Cult and can control Coke to launch attacks!"
The words spread throughout the United States through television programs.
Thinking again of Martin using a glass bottle of Coke to headshot another gunman, the leader of the Coke Cult is well-deserved.
The news video was quickly forwarded to the Internet and spread quickly like a virus.
The reputation of the Coca-Cola Cult was established on the Internet in just one hour.
Although Martin has always maintained silence on the Internet to avoid being interpreted, he still cannot stop enthusiastic netizens from coming to worship the "leader".
"How can I join the Coke Cult?"
At first I asked tentatively, but later I took the initiative to teach.
"Leader, please accept me into the religion!"
"I want to join the Coke Cult!"
"Kneel down and beg to join the religion!"
Some people are even more ambitious: "Is there still a position for deputy leader or high priest? Can you leave one for me?"
…………
Because of the time difference, it was still early morning in Los Angeles, while people in Atlanta were already at work.
At Coca-Cola headquarters, marketing director Brody had just arrived at work when his supervisor Justin knocked on the door and entered the office.
"Head, big news!" Justin held a USB flash drive in his hand: "Look at this, there was a shooting in Los Angeles."
Brody picked up the USB flash drive and inserted it into a laptop: "I heard, Burbank Middle School suffered heavy casualties."
Justin said: "Martin Davis, a Hollywood star who walked out of Atlanta, saved more than ten people. He was so awesome that he knocked down the gunman with our Coca-Cola."
Brody reacted quickly: "Really? Can the marketing do something about this?"
Justin added: "Also, Martin Davis claimed that he established a Coca-Cola cult and claimed to be the leader..."
Brody has already clicked on the video and started watching it. There are two videos in total. One is a video of Martin Davis knocking down a gangster using a bottle of Coca-Cola, and the other is a video of Martin using the so-called Coke God to attract the attention of another gangster.
The more he looked at it, the more wonderful his face became. Is there such a thing as the Coca-Cola Cult?
Justin waited until his superiors read it and said, "The response online was explosive."
Brody clicked on the browser. On the Google search page, three of the top five hotly searched keywords were related to yesterday's shooting. The top two were Martin Davis and Burbank Middle School.
And the Coca-Cola Cult ranked fifth!
Brody clicked on the relevant entries. Many web pages had comments from netizens clamoring to join the Coca-Cola Cult. He couldn't help but ask: "Is there really a Coca-Cola Cult? Or is it just casually mentioned by Martin Davis?"
"I'm not sure yet." Justin remembered something a friend mentioned: "Since last year, there has been a rumor in the Atlanta beverage industry that there is a guy who calls himself the High Priest of Coke and is buying Coke produced in 2003 everywhere."
Brody was confused: "Why did you buy Coke in 2003? It has expired by now."
He shook his head and returned to the topic: "You let me see these for the spokesperson's sake?"
Justin said: "He is one of the best young stars in Hollywood under the age of 25. The North American box office of his movie with the absolute leading role has exceeded 100 million. Last week, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo's new film "The Departed" announced that he was the third actor. The second protagonist.”
He pointed to the USB flash drive again: "And among these young Hollywood actors, who is more suitable to be our spokesperson than him?"
Brody had a similar view. Along with the video of Martin subduing the gangster, Coca-Cola showed its face.
The leader of the Coca-Cola Cult and Coca-Cola, a perfect match!
Justin's words continued: "Martin Davis comes from the birthplace of Coke! Think about it, we have so much to write about in our advertising!"
Brody thought for a moment and said: "You are responsible for collecting information related to Martin Davis. At the next meeting, I will propose that Martin Davis be the spokesperson for the new Coke issue. There is such a thing Fermentation, the possibility of passing is very high, and your team should also prepare relevant negotiation matters."
Justin responded: "Boss, I'll take care of it."
At the subsequent meeting, with almost no resistance, a preliminary resolution was passed to contact Martin Davis and invite him to serve as the new spokesperson for Coca-Cola.
…………
After a night of fermentation, the next day the front pages of the three major newspapers in North America, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and the Washington Post, were all about the Burbank High School incident.
The government intended to control public opinion. The most conspicuous positions in the newspapers were full of large close-ups of Martin saving people!
Mainstream media reports all describe sensitive points such as the number of casualties in small fonts, and use bold and black fonts to highlight Martin's heroic rescue deeds.
This is the most common news reporting technique for tragedies.
The Los Angeles Times headline was succinct: “Los Angeles’ Urban Hero: Martin Davis!” 》
"Martin Davis, he deserves to be called a hero more than any hero in any Hollywood movie!" ” This is the headline of the New York Times.
The Washington Post was even more exaggerated: "Yesterday, Martin Davis was the spiritual totem of America!" 》
Warner TV News Channel launched a special news about the shooting early in the morning. Helen, an eyewitness, became famous and discussed with another guest why Martin was able to defeat the gangsters.
"In every shooting incident, innocent people fall, and Burbank High School is no exception, but this time someone stood up, and his identity was surprising: Martin Davis, a Hollywood star."
"Because of the movie promotion, he happened to be there. At the beginning of the incident, he panicked like an ordinary person. When he ran away, he did not forget to remind others to escape quickly. When he was forced into a desperate situation by the gunman and everyone else was waiting for their fate, Martin stepped up."
The morning news had huge ratings because of the shooting and Helen.
Helen specifically said: "Martin is preparing to participate in an action gunfight film adapted from the comic book "Wanted". In order to better interpret the male protagonist, he conducted long-term action firearms training. It is precisely these rigorous training that make Martin Able to break out in desperate situations and subdue the gangsters in one fell swoop!"
Countless people have memorized the wanted poster.
