Chapter 612 TIME Cover Character
After leaving the airport, Mugalen no longer asked Bifang about his test scores. At this moment, he was still stuck in the scene just now and doubting his life. He walked behind Bifang, muttering softly.
"Prediction... How to predict..."
Looking at the wide road, Bifang did not go home, but went to the hospital with Richard and others to visit the two companions who were injured at the beginning.
After two months of rehabilitation and treatment, both are basically fine, but they still need to be carefully observed.
Everyone was very happy to see so many people coming to visit.
After confirming that the two were almost well and would be discharged after a few more days of observation, everyone stopped disturbing them and found a restaurant near the hospital to have dinner.
After running around all day, everyone was hungry.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Mandy, who was waiting for her meal, stood up and left her seat.
"If they hadn't been injured, they should have shared in the honor at this moment." Bifang looked at Mandy's figure and thought of the two people on the hospital bed, feeling quite sad.
The exposure of Dolphin Bay is life-threatening. Although everyone's real purpose is not to make a profit from this documentary, as time goes by after the documentary was released, the emergence of benefits has become an indisputable fact.
What everyone present cared about was how widely it spread, so the entire film "The Cove" was given away for free to all major video sites, and everyone was allowed to forward it on social media.
The total number of views on the entire network has exceeded 2 billion, with more than 360 million on MeTube and more than 21 million on B Island.
Although it doesn't seem like a lot and is far from the top ten in history, the most fundamental problem is that this is a two-hour documentary and only one week has passed.
Without exception, those videos with billions of views are all short videos that are less than ten minutes long, and the statistics are all about the number of views in that month.
Two billion views does not mean that more than two-sevenths of the world's population has seen The Cove. Perhaps less than one-tenth of the world's population has seen it, but it is still an encouraging statistic.
It looks like Dolphin Bay will be the most-played video among all of Bifang's independent clips. Although there is no systematic statistics on the entire network, Bifang currently has four clips on Island B with over 100 million views, among which The Flying Geese has the highest number of views, firmly ranking first with over 140 million.
The number of views on B Island is calculated based on the ID, not each time it is viewed. The total number of registered users on the entire B Island is only 300 million, or 140 million, and is still growing. This means that one out of every two users has viewed it, which is a miraculous performance.
There has always been a joke on Island B that the only one who can beat Bifang in terms of playback volume is Bifang herself.
I thought this sentence was just a joke, but now it seems to be a proverb.
Among the top ten in the entire historical viewing volume ranking, Bifang has more than seven, and all of them are long videos of more than 90 minutes.
Apart from anything else, several people present, even the electrical experts working behind the scenes, have gained a large number of fans on Twitter because of Dolphin Bay.
However, due to their injuries, the two missed all of this and became "victims" of the exposure process.
Bifang just felt sorry for the two of them. They were the worst off and in the end, they got nothing out of it.
Richard and Jarrett did not forget about the two people, and their figures appeared in the editing, but they still inevitably became background boards .
Richard rolled up the pasta with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and swallowing: "They won't care about this."
"We never thought we would succeed until you helped us." Jarrett picked up the steak with chopsticks, biting it and swallowing it.
Contrary to what many people think, most Westerners actually know how to use chopsticks and are very good at it.
This steak was the best meal Jarrett had had in two months. In Japan, they ate instant food every day. It was even more embarrassing in the later period because no one was willing to sell them even instant food.
The venison and wild boar meat that Bifang couldn't finish eating was secretly given to them. The meat was old and tough, and the taste was incomparable to that of farmed beef cattle.
The food was so delicious that Jarrett forgot how to use the knife and fork and just used chopsticks.
"Don't be too sad." Richard patted Bifang on the shoulder. " They are both members of the Ocean Organization. I know their character. The release of the documentary is the best reward for them!"
As a person who has experienced this, Richard knows what Bifang is thinking.
In the eyes of the world, heroes seem to be great only through selfless dedication.
Selfless dedication is great, but only if it can be given due rewards will more and more people dare to contribute.
Bifang himself didn't care about this little benefit, but the two people lying on the hospital bed were just ordinary people with wives and children who needed bread and milk.
"Hey, look, what did I find?" Mandy came back from the bathroom and threw something on the table. Her surprised voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Everyone looked in the direction of the flying shadow and found it was a magazine.
TIME
Below the huge black title, a handsome face that everyone was very familiar with came into view.
Keke held up the magazine and looked at Bifang in amazement under the light. Then he looked at the cover and found that he looked very similar to the photo.
Mandy also came over, her mouth opened into an O shape: "Wow, Bifang, isn't that you? You're on the cover of Time magazine!"
“It’s amazing!”
Everyone praised one after another.
Bifang took the magazine and was surprised that he could be the cover character of Time magazine?
TIME, one of the world's most famous weekly magazines.
It is extremely authoritative and has a long history, having witnessed the changes in the world over the past hundred years. The magazine is also very well produced. Although the cover design may seem simple, its photography level and design details are handled by very skilled hands. It is a very influential magazine.
However, TIME is not a weekly magazine in the strict sense, as it is published every two weeks.
The 23rd was Sunday. Obviously, after the incident, TIME quickly made Bifang the cover. And because time was very tight, they did not even take special photos. They just captured the image of Bifang in a certain picture.
With the sun behind it, the light and shadows are blurred, adding a touch of mystery.
After deleting the background, Bifang himself couldn’t recognize which scene the screenshot was from.
As a host, I am still very surprised that I can be featured in such an authoritative magazine, even if it is just an ordinary weekly.
This is an honor that neither Bear Grylls nor DeAndre has ever achieved, but now Bifang has obtained it.
"I think you should also be included in the Person of the Year award!" Jarrett even made a bold statement.
The Person of the Year is more glamorous than the weekly magazine.
The tradition began in 1927 when Time magazine's editors were wondering what to write about during a week when there wasn't much news.
Because Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time that year, Time magazine did not put him on the cover. At the end of the year, the editor thought of a way to remedy this embarrassment, which was to put Lindbergh on the cover and call him the Person of the Year.
From an adventurer's perspective, Jarrett feels that Bifang is superior and has a greater impact, and deserves to be on the cover of the year!
Hearing this, Bifang laughed out loud, as if he didn't care too much and just took it as a blessing from a friend, but it also planted a seed of hope in his heart.
Can it really be done?
Many people have appeared in regular weekly magazines , from entrepreneurs to celebrities, but the annual weekly magazine is undoubtedly more valuable and features real celebrities.
"It's finally over! I just want to go home now." After chewing the last piece of beef, Jarrett raised his beer, "Come, Cheers!"
“Cheers!!!”
"Hahaha!"
