74 Kevin is confused
The Wizard Education Newspaper, which had already been finalized, had to revise its layout overnight due to the order of the Minister of Magic, making way for a certain "born" dark horse.
This keeps a lot of people busy for most of the night.
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper, who had previously talked to Fanny about this article, was even more surprised by this.
His name is Cornell Aldan, and he is a tall, middle-aged wizard with a Chinese face.
After graduating, he joined the wizarding education newspaper, and has been in the industry for ten years, known for his keen sense of news.
However, no matter how sharp he was, he still couldn't figure out why this manuscript had ended up in the hands of the Minister of Magic.
He couldn't understand why the minister attached so much importance to it, and even added such a sentence to it.
But at this level, it's not something that he, a small character, can pay attention to.
After honestly obeying orders, he gave his niece Fanny a wake-up call.
Then he ignored the other party's excited response, and leisurely prepared to watch the joke of the Minister of Magic.
That's right, look at the joke.
Because of that person's status, it was certainly impossible for the Wizard Education Newspaper, which was affiliated with the Board of Education, to disobey his orders.
In the future, some other newspapers with official backgrounds will also follow suit, showing enough attention.
In the United Kingdom, however, the official newspapers are in the minority.
Even if they go all out to report it, they can't compete with a large number of private newspapers.
Besides, the newspaper is for the public, and the county magistrates are not as good as the current ones, and they don't care about the Minister of Magic.
At most, after seeing that comment, I will feel strange, and then I will be cautious when I see the half-blood wizard who has the Minister of Magic behind him as a backer.
In this way, how widely the news can be disseminated depends entirely on the intensity of propaganda and the degree of "vigor" of the news itself.
In terms of publicity, the resources available for this manuscript are limited.
Needless to say, the degree of excitement -
Although the manuscript is well written, the theme is a competition between apprentices.
Even if there is a comment from the Minister of Magic, it is not as eye-catching as Kevin's matter.
Dingtian, that is, because of the relationship with Kevin, and the fire was just a little hot.
However, if this is the case, how can it be possible to compete with the Felix family?
Yes, competition.
Cornell believes that the Minister of Magic wants to compare Felix with Felix when he is fully committed to promoting Kevin and has specifically told him to bring up the incident.
It's too targeted!
"It's a pity that although you are a high-ranking government official, you don't understand public opinion propaganda at all."
Cornell sighed.
Many people in the newspaper actually thought the same way, and some even had excited anticipation of the Minister of Magic's imminent demise.
After all, it's easy to see a normal person make a fool of himself, but it's too difficult to see that kind of big guy make a fool of himself.
It's just that what happened next was a little beyond their expectations.
……
In an ancient world without the data of the Internet, people certainly can't count in detail how hot a thing is.
However, because of the existence of the Book of Secret Words, the speed at which wizards transmit messages to each other is no different from that of modern society.
This has created a deformed status quo in the wizarding world, where the press and publishing industry is thriving and far ahead of its time, but otherwise very old.
But despite the lack of statistical tools, journalists like Cornell can actually get a sense of the current public opinion during the duration of some hot events.
Because whenever they encounter any special event, many of their relatives and friends are the first to inquire about them, a group of well-informed people.
So with the release of the newspaper the next day, the outside world asked the newspaper staff about the person who was Egger, and it was visible to the naked eye.
This was not uncommon in the past, after all, in an era when entertainment was relatively scarce, gossip was one of the main ways people used to pass the time.
Compared with some explosive news in the past, this kind of scene can only be regarded as a small fight now.
However, in contrast, Kevin of the Felix family is currently "on fire", but few people inquire about him.
It's not that no one asks about Kevin, but very few people ask about Kevin himself.
"Isn't it normal for such a young man from a big family to do this kind of thing?"
When he came home from work to talk to his wife about it, Cornell got this response.
"And this matter may have been done with the help of the family behind Kevin, and then all the credit was given to him...... Aren't all big families like that? ”
Sounds like a lot of sense.
Cornell thought to himself, but that wasn't enough to answer his doubts.
So he asked, "What do you think of Kevin?" ”
"What do you think?"
His wife, a slightly wealthy young woman, was holding a wand by the pool to make cups, dishes and other utensils float in the air, drawing water to "wash" out of thin air.
After hearing this, she looked sideways at her husband in a surprised tone.
"Aren't all young people from big families like that?"
"Don't have a specific impression?" Cornell was a little puzzled.
The newspapers boasted about him as if he were the hero of a chivalric novel. He has also worked hard since he was a child, has a sense of justice, and his relatives and friends around him have unanimous praise for him......"
The young woman sneered when she heard this, "What reliable impression can you give me of such fake propaganda?" ”
So, it's not that I don't have an impression, but I don't believe the impression in the newspaper......
Connell was thoughtful and asked again, "So, what do you think of that Egger?" How is he? ”
"Egger? It's a very nice kid, and it feels so cute. ”
The young woman blinked when she said this, "I also talked to my good sister about the skin care method he proposed, and decided to try it later." ”
"He's got encouragement from the Minister of Magic, don't you think that's just as fake? I mean, he doesn't look like a simple half-blood. ”
"Is there anything strange about that?"
The young woman frowned when she heard this, "It's normal for the Minister of Magic to appreciate a boy like Egger with ideals and talents, right?" ”
It's weird to be normal!
Cornell was speechless.
The wife's appearance seemed to be familiar with that Egger.
But didn't she realize that she actually only knew the name from a newspaper?
In other words, it's just a paper man!
However, the appearance of a paper man can make such a deep impression on people......
This is clearly unusual.
Cornell then went to the study, dug out the interview script handed to him by his niece Fanny, and read it carefully.
Then, the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
When he read this interview before, he only felt that the writing was very good, and the image of the interviewed person was very prominent.
If it can be published normally, with the background story of the characters, it should be popular for a while.
But more, that's all.
However, now look at this draft and compare it with Kevin's "fake big empty" propaganda.
He suddenly discovered that this interview script is not so simple at all!
In other words, it's not that the interview script is not simple, but what the person being interviewed said, it is not simple!
"Every word he says feels intimate and authentic, which ......"
Cornell was confused, "How did this work?" ”
The principle is actually very simple, but Cornell, who was hit by the skill dimension reduction far beyond this era, couldn't figure out this problem in a short period of time.
So he, who didn't care about Egg's half-race before, unconsciously raised the other party's image infinitely in his heart at this time.
Being able to attract the Minister of Magic to help proves that this Egg can't just be a simple half-blood, and his background must be deep.
And being able to use the length of a manuscript to create such a prominent image of oneself is enough to prove that Egger himself is not simple......
After thinking for a long time, Cornell suddenly left the study, put on his coat, and looked like he was going out.
"Where are you going so late?"
The young woman, who was sitting on the couch in the living room, was surprised by Cornell's behavior.
"Take a trip to Graham."
He replied, "I'm going to do an interview with that Egger." ”
"Interview."
The wife was stunned when she heard this, "Are you the editor-in-chief and not a reporter?" What interviews do you do? ”
"I'm certainly not a journalist."
"But I'm an investor," Cornell said. ”
……
Not everyone is as sharp as Cornell.
In fact, even in the modern society of the information explosion, most people will not be aware of any skill involved in this kind of image building of Western politicians.
They all think that politicians themselves are very friendly people.
So that's not to mention the fact that the publishing industry is still ancient in this world, although the publishing industry is developed.
However, some of Cornell's previous judgments cannot be said to be wrong-
With the support of the Felix family, and the hot spots of the event itself, the name Kevin has spread much more widely than the name of Iger.
But in terms of effect, the two are very different.
The former is widely publicized, but the old-fashioned rhetoric has no appeal to the public at all.
People care more about the thing itself, rather than the person who made it.
Even if he notices it, he will only comment on the family behind Kevin, and he won't really think that Kevin is powerful.
And the latter, although the spread is not widespread, the theme of the spread is not special.
But every wizard who has read the report can at least have a preliminary impression of Iger Wilson as a person.
Witches, in particular, are even more impressed by it.
So this has created a phenomenon that even though there is no Kevin fire, the name Egger is talked about much more times than Kevin.
The contrast between the two even gives the illusion that Kevin is the supporting character and Iger is the protagonist.
A lot of people are caught off guard by this.
Especially Kevin himself.
……
"Didn't you say that as long as he didn't get the picture in the newspaper, he didn't need to care too much?"
At this time, five days have passed since the incident at Ernest Manor.
And since the Wizarding Education Newspaper first published Egger Wilson's dueling interview three days ago, Kevin has become more and more depressed.
Because as Egger's name spread, some of his cousins and cousins actually asked him about Egger in turn!
Although it was basically just a casual question, without much curiosity, it was enough to shock Kevin.
What puzzled him even more was that the other party's interview did not show Egg's most important point - his appearance - .
Why is that report so influential?
There are already such things without photos, so if any newspaper office runs to take a photo and publish it in the newspaper, won't it completely suppress him?
You know, behind him, but the family is fully supporting!
"It's really surprising."
The one who used the Book of Secret Languages to talk to Kevin was Kevin's grandfather.
The other day, when the Minister of Magic pushed out the transcript of the interview, he had mentioned to Kevin that he didn't need to care, it wasn't a big deal.
Although he was "slapped in the face" at the moment, he was still calm.
"But this only proves that it was a very wise decision for me to ask you to befriend that Egger before."
Kevin was stunned for a while, "He's pressing your grandson now, so you're not angry at all?" ”
"If you don't fight for yourself, I'm angry."
The other side said: "If only you could look like your mother, you would not have fallen to this point now." ”
"However, this is obviously not a matter of appearance......
"Of course, of course I know that this is actually because that Egger is not simple, so you think that with this kind of understanding, I will tell you to trouble him?"
“…… I didn't think so, it was all because of the Minister of Magic. ”
Kevin replied, "He's clearly against us, so you're not going to do something?" ”
"In a few days, Koneru's side will give us a face, so why should I do something?"
Kevin was a little confused when he saw this.
"Wait, you're saying that the minister didn't actually do this to trouble us?"
"Is there something wrong with his brain? Nothing to do to trouble us? ”
The other side said unceremoniously: "And even if he is looking for trouble, he will not take advantage of such a small thing, what real use can this be except for making the family lose some face?" ”
"But if it's not for trouble, why would he help Egger?"
Kevin was a little confused, "They can't possibly know each other." ”
"You can figure it out for yourself first."
The old grandfather on the other side didn't seem to bother to pay any more attention to this stupid grandson.
"If you can't figure it out, I'll ask your mother."
"My mom deleted me a long time ago."
Kevin was embarrassed to see this, "Because I always mention my father's affairs." ”
“…… What a little fool. "The other side seems to be helpless.
"But it doesn't matter, no surprise, she's in Graham City now, you can't contact her, why don't you just go to her?"
Mom has already arrived in Graham?
Kevin was stunned.
What is she doing in Graham?
Why haven't I heard anything about it?
