Chapter 25: Quirky Requests

As an acting star, Judy knows better than anyone how to hype up and increase popularity, and has the heart to come up with ideas for Xiao Yang, but she can't remember the list of media reporters who passed by in a hurry, and she can't help but look embarrassed, "Sorry, that list is too long, and I didn't listen carefully to ...... just now."

"It's okay, let me help you recap, the media representatives present were FOX TV reporter Wendell Bresler, photographer Ganzo Fernandez; Reporter of WB TV...... CNN cable ...... "Los Angeles Times" reporter Gregory Peck...... "USA Today...... "Baltimore Sun" ...... "Vanity Fair" magazine reporter Mary Brenner...... "Rolling Stone" magazine reporter ...... "Xiao Yang repeated the names of nearly 100 media representatives in one breath, although the names of each media and reporters are clearly remembered, and even the order of the narrative is exactly what Roman Carr just reads, "If you haven't heard it clearly, we can repeat it a few more times, But it's important to choose the most popular and influential ones! ”

Frankly speaking, Judy was a little frightened by Xiao Yang's strong news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With her IQ higher than ordinary people, it is not difficult to recite lines or names in large paragraphs, but it is impossible to remember them like him, shocked, she carefully recalled and analyzed: "When it comes to coverage and influence, CBS, ABC, NBC, these old public television stations are undoubtedly your first choice, because they all have huge TV and radio networks at the same time, which can cover more than 90% of the United States, and also have a certain influence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. I noticed that they all sent reporters to the scene; In the case of cable TV stations, TN-T, Disney, and CNN are all good choices, but as paid on-demand programs, the audience coverage of cable stations is slightly less than that of public stations; As for newspapers and magazines, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times are the most influential in the country, while those that only consider local Hollywood belong to the United Show Daily and The Hollywood Reporter ......"

"No, newspapers and magazines are not considered for the time being, they are too time-sensitive to achieve the instant sensation I want." Xiao Yang shook his finger and analyzed: "And this room is too small to accommodate too many media, two public TV stations, or a combination of a public station and a cable station is what I need, have you noticed which famous reporters are here today, the kind that eats all ages?" ”

Judy thought about it for a moment and shook her head regretfully, "I'm afraid I can't help you with ideas, you know, I don't usually like to do interviews, and I rarely pay attention to their names when interviewed by reporters, of course, I also have a few good journalist friends, but they are not on the list you just read." ”

"Looks like I have to do it." Xiao Yang pursed his lips and thought about it, picked up the phone, pressed the call back button, only rang, and the other side picked up, "Mr. Xiao?" ”

"I have to admit that you guys did a beautiful job." Xiao Yang clasped his hands on his chest, leaned his back on the piano, and his left foot on his right leg shook rhythmically, "I contacted my family in such a short time, and by the way, they broke off relations with me, huh?" ”

Roman Carr's voice sounded a little guilty, at least he wanted to try to create that atmosphere, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw, we didn't expect your father to make that choice, we just wanted to ask him to persuade you......"

"It's okay, I didn't blame you, anyway, the relationship between our father and son is not so harmonious." Xiao Yang is trying to take the opportunity to clear up the relationship with his cheap father, although he has no family affection, but after all, it is his biological father, and he doesn't want to cause them too much trouble, "Putting aside these objective factors for the time being, are you ready to listen to my next condition, Mr. Deputy Chief Superintendent?" ”

"Yes, I'm listening."

"If you still have the list you just gave me, please pick up your pen and mark out the names of the following media outlets and journalists: Adrias Schneider and Stephen Green of NBC; ABC's Marcus Piper and Margarita Collins; CBS (CBS) Anna Meyer and Matiz Sanchez...... Did you write it down? After receiving an affirmative reply, Xiao Yang nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, now please ask these reporters and photographers who have been named to come to the gate and stand in front of the camera of the video intercom doorbell......"

"Wait a minute!" The more Roman Carr listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but interrupt him: "Can you tell me what this is for?" ”

Xiao Yang didn't sell it, and replied bluntly: "It's very simple, I'm going to hold a small press conference." ”

A...... Press conference?

Hearing his bizarre request, from the police superintendent to the police dog, the police officers present were all dumbfounded.

Long before seeking direct contact, Roman Carr had already convened the kidnapping experts and psychologists of the General Administration to analyze the case together, and the focus of discussion and analysis was the motive for the crime, in their opinion, Xiao Yang's purpose of kidnapping Judy should not be out of the category of seeking wealth, seeking revenge, showing love, etc., in addition, considering the social impact caused by the movie "Taxi Driver", as well as Xiao Yang's medical records just found, it is not ruled out that he may be insane, but this bastard actually asked for an on-site press conference, What the hell does he want to do to make this kidnapping a reality show?

Although when discussing the rescue plan before, considering Jodie Foster's reputation and the location where this case took place, coupled with the attention of the media and the public, everyone agreed that the first choice was to settle peacefully through negotiations, which included meeting the kidnappers' demands to the greatest extent, but if you really want to do what Xiao Yang asks, it is tantamount to sending him a few more hostages for nothing, so after carefully weighing the pros and cons, Roman Carr decided to politely refuse this condition: "I'm sorry, Xiao, but I'm afraid I don't have the right to do this, Because I'm not their boss, I can't put so many people in danger. ”

"No, you're wrong, it's not dangerous at all, because no one gets hurt by it, on the contrary, if you don't do what I say, that's what you call 'putting many people in danger.'" Xiao Yang confidently retorted: "As for the command issue you are worried about, why don't you ask them their own opinions, I believe that many people will be eager to get this opportunity!" ”
