Chapter 18: The Third Step of the Plan of Salvation
In an office of hundreds of square meters, where people come and go, this is a stronghold of CNN (N) in Seattle, one of the largest television news networks in the United States, and N attaches great importance to the largest city in the northwestern United States.
The office is full of N staff in Seattle, and they provide N with 24 hours a day for anything that happens in Seattle, from the election of the legislator and the new government rules, to the fight of children and the bite of wild dogs.
As the top leader of the Seattle office, Chris Doff is almost 60 years old this year, and he has been in N for almost 30 years, and he is definitely an old man in the N Group.
But now, Chris is sitting in his big office, scared and excited, he didn't expect that he was about to retire, but he would encounter such a stabbing thing, but this may also be a peak of his life, if successful, Chris believes that his reputation will definitely spread throughout the media world.
"Knock knock!" Just as Chris's heart was tumbling, he heard a knock on the door. "Boss, Mr. Larry King has arrived."
When Chris heard this, he didn't rush to respond, but hurriedly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and then wiped the gray hair on the top of his head before clearing his throat and saying, "Invite him in." β
The door was gently pushed open, and Jimmy, the secretary, walked into the office with a few people. Chris gave a big hug to a tall, thin old man. "Old Larry, how long has it been since you've been in Seattle to see me? Does my old friend remember me? β
The tall and thin old man wore a pair of glasses with black rimmed yellow lenses, and although he was older than Chris, he was in good spirits. "Haha! It's not impossible to come to Seattle, the weather is much better than Atlanta, and I can go there once a month whenever someone asks for a drink. β
Chris and this Larry King have known each other for many years, both of them are N-level veterans, although they do not work together, they are in the same group after all, and Larry King is also a world-famous figure, known as "the world's most famous ace host".
The two briefly exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then let some unrelated personnel out, leaving only Chris, Larry King, and his assistants.
"Chris, when the headquarters asked me to come over this time, I praised you well, saying that you are worthy of being a veteran of N, if you succeed, you will definitely be famous all over the world, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to give me the show." Seeing that there were no outsiders, Larry King whispered his gratitude to Chris.
"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, this show is not easy to record, due to the particularity of the guests, you can only meet them after the show starts, so there is a lot of pressure on you to host, but I believe you can do it, old friend, you are the host who can ask the most questions in the United States."
When Larry King heard that he couldn't meet with the guests in advance, he didn't show a disappointed expression on his face, and asked very easily: "No problem, it's better not to meet in advance, and I can ask a lot of good questions when the time comes." So, when does recording start? β
"Don't worry, you've just gotten off the plane, take advantage of some time to get some rest. They are always available. Chris didn't want to show his timidity in front of his old friends, so he easily arranged for him to rest first.
In Seattle, Georgetown, 7 Lopie Road, in an extreme club converted from an old factory, Danny and Andrew were eating lunch around the table, and Steve took a big bite of the burger, chewed it twice, then poured a cola and swallowed it, and finally made a huge burp.
While eating a hot dog, Andrew controls the camera to float in the air and shoot around. Matt watched Danny eat his pizza until he finished the last slice of pizza and asked, "Danny, I don't understand, why are we going to a talk show, and how did you manage to get the TV station to say yes?" β
Danny put down the pizza in his hand and took a sip of instant coffee without hurrying. "I thought it was Steve who asked me first? I didn't expect it to be you, Matt. Steve rolled his eyes and didn't speak.
"Two questions, I'll answer the second one first, how do you get the TV station to agree to this matter? There are two reasons, the first is that we are celebrities now, because our performance in the Rock Street explosion accident attracted the attention of all Americans, which made us famous overnight, and of course our real identity is still well hidden, which is the main reason why the TV station agreed to this matter, because our Super Team has a topic.
Second, because we are hiding our true identities, the media and reporters will definitely not be able to find us, and in order to solve this problem, last night, I called Andrew together and went to visit a friend, who is the correspondent of N in Seattle. I went to Andrew's house with him, had a cup of tea, and told him about the idea that we wanted to be on the show, and he happily agreed. β
"What? You took Andrew with you last night, aren't you afraid that we will be exposed? Matt was surprised and asked aloud.
"Don't be nervous, Matt, we didn't show off, Danny and I were both in uniform, and I recorded the whole thing, and Danny said I'd have some clips on TV when the time comes." Seeing that Matt was very excited, Andrew interjected and said comfortingly.
"As for why we want to participate in this show, before answering this question, I want to ask you if you understand how people perceive us? Steve, let's talk about it first. Danny motioned for Steve to speak first.
Steve scratched his head and thought for a moment. "Most of the Internet and the media are praising us, saying that we are superheroes, God's messengers, and some people say that we are the future evolutionary direction of mankind, or that we are aliens living on Earth, anyway, there are all kinds of speculations. Of course, there are a lot of bad things to say. β
With a snap of his fingers, Danny said, "Bingo!" That's right, now the outside world has different opinions about us, some good and some bad, some factual and some suspicious, and everyone is paying attention to us and the super team.
We don't care about those who say bad things about us, after all, no one can make the whole world like him, and it's all gossip, ignore it, time will tell. I'm concerned with the ones who say we're good, they're the problem. β
Andrew was very strange and asked, "Is there anything wrong with saying that we are good?" β
"It's okay to say we're good, but it's wrong to say it's too good, Andrew, do you think we're really God's angels on earth?"
Andrew shook his head, what angels are there? I don't even have wings, I can't even be an angel.
"Now people are praising us and saying that we are angels and can do anything, but are we really omnipotent? What if we make a mistake in the next action? What will people think of us? Danny asked. I see, you are afraid that people will exaggerate us too much and make the world mistakenly think that we are omnipotent, and the reason why we participated in the show is to tell everyone that we are all ordinary people. Steve reflected at once.
"Yes, if this continues, there will be more rumors and speculations, and people will become more and more convinced of those speculations, so in order to let people know a little bit more about us, going to TV shows is the most effective way."
After saying this, Danny also silently thought in his heart: At the same time, it is also the best way for me to catch big fish, which is not dangerous and can achieve the fastest effect.
Time flies, Larry King, as a well-known host in the United States, is definitely the world's top in terms of ability, and he is a well-known talk show host around the world, and his "Larry King Live" is one of the most watched programs in N.
And this time, Larry King brought his team to Seattle overnight to interview a special group of guests. The program is broadcast live to the entire United States via satellite.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Larry King Live." Wearing bib pants and a blue shirt, Larry King calmly began today's program recording.
"Today, I brought the program team to Seattle, because just three days ago, a gas pipeline explosion in Seattle touched the hearts of the whole United States, but what surprised the whole world even more were the four mysterious people who appeared out of thin air. And our guests today are them, welcoming Seattle's superheroes, Team Γber.
