Word spread like wildfire among devotees of the Formosa, resulting in the public demonstration, which drew seven LA TV stations and a crowd of reporters, and was also supported by the Los Angeles Conservancy, a private preservation group.
結果一傳十，十傳百……，不但示威當天洛杉磯的七家電視台及大批媒體記者均到現場訪問，當地古蹟文物保留協會亦加入聲援，一下子台灣酒家與華納公司的攻守地位完全改觀。
