Chapter 1195: Presidential Medal
"It's up to you to make it inconvenient for us. Wang Yong replied.
"What do you mean?" the person in charge didn't understand.
"It means he has conditions!" choreographer Harry reminded in a whisper.
The person in charge suddenly realized: "So that's the case! It's easy to say! Mr. Wang, you can make a price, we CNN have always been generous in the guest appearance fee!"
"Really? I was a little excited. It's just a pity that I don't want money. Wang Yong said leisurely.
"And what do you want?"
"I want something that you American people owe me for a long time. ”
The person in charge asked in surprise, "What is it?"
"Distinguished Presidential Medal!"
As soon as these words came out, both the head of CNN's news gathering department and Harry were speechless for a while.
"Impossible! This is something we can't do at all! And you just want the Presidential Medal, and you want the Distinguished Presidential Medal! Do you know that only four people have ever received the Distinguished Presidential Medal since its inception? They are John Paul, Reagan, Powell, and Biden! And the identities of the four of them are the Pope, the President, the Secretary of State, and the Vice President! Mr. Wang, you must be crazy, you must be crazy......
Wang Yong's calm voice came over the phone: "I'm very sober. Before you think my proposal is too crazy, I suggest you check with your boss first. Don't tell me you don't even know that your boss is friends with the current president. ”
"Mr. Wang, you don't know anything about American politics at all! The United States is not like you in China, and there are some things that cannot be decided by the president alone! I'm afraid we can't agree to this......" The person in charge was a little crazy.
Wang Yong's voice was still calm: "Okay, I think FOX TV will also be happy to do an exclusive interview with me." Good bye. ”
After speaking, Wang Yong hung up the phone directly.
And the head of CNN was stunned on the spot, caught off guard.
According to common sense, shouldn't you push me and refuse, and the two sides can only reach a compromise after a few rounds of tug-of-war?
Why didn't Wang Yong play his cards according to common sense at all?!
"FOX will be interviewed once he gets ......," Harry said worriedly.
The person in charge slapped the table hatefully: "This Wang Yong is simply a demon! Deliberately pinched our life and forced us to obey! I'll call the boss ......"
The person in charge said and walked out of the editing room.
……………………
In the hotel, Wang Yong looked at the night outside the window, looking like he was full of bamboo.
In fact, what Wang Yong wants is not the Distinguished Presidential Medal at all, that thing is too difficult to obtain, as the head of CNN said. And the White House will definitely not allow a foreigner to get it.
What Wang Yong wanted from beginning to end was just an ordinary version of the presidential medal.
Although this ordinary medal is also very precious, it is not without precedent for Chinese people. For example, during World War II, 79 Chinese soldiers received this medal, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of recipients. Of course, the main reason is that this medal was originally established to recognize people who made contributions in World War II, and it is not surprising that China was the main battlefield at that time and the Nationalist government was friendly with the United States.
But after the end of World War II, the number of recipients of the medal dropped dramatically, to less than 40 in total. Moreover, there is no Chinese person anymore.
Therefore, the gold content of this medal in the current era of peace is still very high.
Even if Wang Yong just wants an ordinary version of the presidential medal, it is quite difficult. And the reason why Wang Yong proposed to have an outstanding medal is nothing more than a psychological game.
Our mental goal is A, so we deliberately raise the goal to the level of B. The other party's acceptance of A will naturally become higher, and it is logical to think that A is acceptable.
In this game trap, CNN's big boss is likely to agree to Wang Yong's request in the form of concessions.
Sure enough, an hour later, Wang Yong received a call from the person in charge of CNN.
"Mr. Wang, our boss is very embarrassed by the conditions you proposed. We at CNN have always been guided by the principle of reporting on politics but not interfering in it, and your conditions will undoubtedly make us interfere in politics......"
Wang Yong showed a hint of impatience: "If you call just to tell me this, then you can hang up." The people at FOX were waiting for me to give me an interview time, and they were in a hurry, and I was in a hurry. ”
Although the person in charge knew in his heart that this was just Wang Yong's bargaining rhetoric, he still panicked inexplicably: "Don't! Actually, our boss gave a compromise plan, and I think this is at least feasible compared to yours." ”
"What compromise?"
"We at CNN are going to cover you and make you an American hero. Then we started a topic about whether you should receive a presidential medal, and when the heat was almost created, our boss said to Mr. President at the right time, believing that success could be expected. After all, when you saved so many citizens of Las Vegas, public opinion once called for you to be awarded the Presidential Medal. Unfortunately, the odds of earning the Distinguished Medal are slim to none, and at most you can only get the Ordinary Medal......"
Wang Yong smiled slightly, CNN's reaction was completely in line with his prediction. CNN has hacked themselves for so long, and it's time to pay some interest.
"It's really just a compromise. I'll think about it, after all, FOX is also very sincere. With that, Wang Yong hung up the phone directly.
The person in charge of CNN was stunned, and his heart became more and more anxious.
It's just that it's useless for him to be anxious, and the decision is still on Wang Yong's side.
Three hours passed, and just when the whole person in charge of CNN and others was about to collapse, Wang Yong finally replied.
"Yes. However, it needs to be determined in the form of a contract. ”
The person in charge of CNN was overjoyed, and he was busy drafting the contract and signing a contract with Wang Yong.
didn't realize that he had actually fallen into the trap created by Wang Yong.
Sign a contract and agree on an interview time. Everything went according to plan.
The next day, FOX won back a lot of public opinion with its in-depth report on the anti-drug case, and the ratings surpassed CNN by one percentage point last night. It can be described as a beautiful turnaround.
And now the public's attention is all on "what is the origin of the person in the video", and the deductive version of the multinational spy is also circulating in the market, and the American people who watch it are addicted.
It was even said that Wang Yong was actually a mutant cultivated in Area 51, and the U.S. government was shot even if he was lying down.
The FOX staff were enthusiastic and prepared to make a series of reports on this news until the last minute, exposing Wang Yong's name and detonating the conflict of consciousness between the United States and China. I believe that it will be a big news that will sweep the world.
Unfortunately, FOX didn't know that a live talk show was being recorded on CNN at the moment.
In addition to Wang Yong, the protagonist of this recording also has an old acquaintance - Aiden.
Aiden and Wang Yong are well-known rivals, and when these two are paired together, the effect of the show will be explosive. CNN is also fighting for ratings.
What Aiden didn't expect was that there was someone in the on-site director team who was even more ugly than his expression.
That's Sato, who is of Oriental descent.
Yesterday, Sato also swore that the unsung hero could never be Wang Yong, and today he was slapped in the face by the speed of light. Sato doesn't even have the courage to look at Wang Yong now, his whole face is hot and painful, as if he really got a slap in the face from Wang Yong.
The recording of the show went surprisingly smoothly.
Aiden deliberately stood on the FOX position this time and asked various offensive questions about Wang Yong. For example, Wang Yong is driven by the Chinese state department behind him, for example, Wang Yong actually violated American law, strictly speaking, it is not a righteous and courageous act but a fight, for example, is Wang Yong an impostor......
Wang Yong was completely prepared for this kind of problem.
directly showed the call record, which clearly showed that Wang Yong had called the police on the day of the crime. The police acted four hours later than Wang Yong's call to the police.
This shows that Wang Yong did not get police assistance after calling the police, so he had to take legitimate defense!
Faced with the problem of impostor, Wang Yong directly proposed a plot reenactment to the program team.
So the TV audience saw a jaw-dropping scene.
According to the rubber people who had been placed in the positions of the Pidahaya gang in the video, they fell to the ground one by one in Wang Yong's continuous attacks.
The whole process is almost ten seconds faster than the video.
After checking the hit parts of the rubber man, I found that each rubber man had different degrees of cracking!
In other words, Wang Yong's power hitting a real person can completely stun or die!
The plot is perfectly reproduced, and the rumors of Wang Yong's impostor are self-defeating.
At the end of the show, even Wang Yong's old enemy Aiden couldn't help but stand up and bow solemnly to Wang Yong: "Mr. Wang Yong, I want to apologize to you for my previous remarks! Whether it is your actions in the Oriental Holy Sakura Mountain, or your righteousness in Las Vegas, or the fearless spirit you showed in the Los Angeles drug trafficking case, they are all real heroic deeds! I used to disdain Hollywood heroes such as Superman, because I don't think such noble people actually exist. But now I have to admit, you are!
As the saying on the Internet goes, "You are fully entitled to a presidential medal!" Because more than 100,000 Americans have been saved by your actions alone!"
Although this is set according to the script process, I have to say that Aiden's acting skills are good. He said this impassionedly, and even the people in the on-site director team were moved.
For no other reason, although Aiden said lines, it was all the truth. The tens of thousands of people at the Las Vegas festival and the Los Angeles citizens threatened by Pidahaya add up to more than 100,000.
"Mr. Wang Yong, we are not the president, and we cannot give you a real medal in place of the president. But we have a replica medal to award to you! though that doesn't give you one-tenth of our American gratitude. ”
Aiden said emotionally, and casually took a replica presidential medal and hung it around Wang Yong's neck.
Applause rang out.
Not only the on-site director team, but also from the TV audience who are watching the live broadcast.
