Chapter 1612 Wonderful Idea to Create a Superstar
"I'm sorry, Master Ancient One. I'm afraid I can't agree with your idea!"
The choice Stark made after careful consideration was a bit beyond Gu Yi's imagination. Even if she herself is well-informed and experienced. At this time, it was unavoidable to be shocked, and even the smile on his face became stiff.
"You said no to me? Can I know why you said no to me?"
"Under normal circumstances, I seldom say no to women. But in the face of your request, I'm sorry, I really can't do anything."
"Ma'am, maybe for you, this matter is just something you can decide by patting your head. But for me, it is definitely not the case. I am the president of this country and the leader of all American citizens. I Every decision made has to be in their interest and safety. And from that perspective, I can only regret to say no to you."
"I don't understand, Mister Stark."
Ancient One is not a guy who is easily persuaded. Even if Stark moved out the banner of the people, she still stubbornly insisted on her original idea.
"If it's from the perspective of ordinary people, shouldn't my suggestion be more valuable? You know, in places that ordinary people can't see, devils and evil spirits are already around the corner. You can't Determine exactly when these lurking guys will start a riot and hurt those innocent people. Rather than mourning the sacrifice of these innocent people after the fact, it is better to teach them how to deal with it before it happens. That way, at least To put it bluntly, they still have the power to protect themselves. It's better than nothing, just being meat on the chopping board."
"It is true to say so, but some things are not as simple as you imagined,"
Raising his hand, interrupting the eloquence of the Ancient One mage, Stark expressed his inner worries without concealment.
"That's right, doing so will allow the people to have the means to fight against evil spirits and save themselves. However, I don't think you can fully guarantee that they will be able to save themselves successfully according to your method. Everything will fail. Possibly, let alone such a life-and-death matter. Those evil spirits and demons are not little sheep. They are indifferent to seeing you wield a knife and let you slaughter them. They will definitely resist, and resistance will inevitably There were casualties. One or two, I can still call this kind of thing an accident. But under the huge population base, once the number of casualties exceeds 10%, you tell me, how can I call this an accident? Accident?"
"You allow the government to spread your ideas, but have you ever thought that those people who lost their relatives and friends because of this incident will also blame the government for this.
The government will be blamed and impacted, and even the order that the country has managed to stabilize will be plunged into crisis. Once there is no order, you should know how terrible a country shrouded in chaos will be. "
"This is just one of the many reasons why I rejected you. There are other reasons. For example, I don't intend to let the people know about the existence of these evil spirits and devils. This itself is a secret, even in the governments of other countries, Only some real high-level people can know. Each of us knows what kind of turmoil will be caused by the spread of such news. At this time, no country can withstand such turmoil. I cannot open This head, I can't let the United States become the target of public criticism because of this incident."
"So, I must reject you, Master Ancient One. If you really plan to cooperate, you should understand my reasons. My burden is much heavier than you imagined. I must come for this country. consider."
Stark's words were loud and righteous to the extreme. This not only proves his thinking, but also his attitude. He was the kind of true patriot whose principle of national interest was the only criterion by which he judged their method of cooperation. Faced with such a principle, although Gu Yi hated it a little bit, he didn't have much dislike for him.
Because in essence, the two of them are a kind of talent pair. If there is a difference, Stark adheres to the principle of the entire United States of America, while she expands this scope to the entire earth.
Just as Stark can ignore personal honor for the benefit of the country, even his friends can be betrayed and used. For the sake of the people of the whole earth, Master Ancient One would be willing to do things with no lower limit. People like them don't care about their reputation anymore. Even personal interests are not considered by them.
All they care about is the interests of the collective, and the gains and losses of the collective interests are the only reason for their persistence and dedication.
It sounds ridiculous, but Ancient One can indeed understand Stark's feelings. And yes, she also made a compromise choice because of this.
"Well, since you have so many concerns and our partnership has only just begun. Let's put this idea on hold for now. Maybe we should set up a special team, preferably with those The roles of clergy and mages are all integrated. Just like my original mage group, I use their power to restrain the expansion of the forces of hell. Although I don't think this will be very useful, but it is always It's better than doing nothing."
This is a kind of helpless retreat, and from the performance of the ancient one, Stark can also see her sincerity for their cooperation. In this way, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because he was really worried that Gu Yi would question their relationship and create a gap in their cooperation.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that he needs Ancient One more than Ancient One needs him. So if it was not necessary, he really didn't want to break face with Gu Yi at this time. Gu Yi gave him such a step down, which was exactly what he wanted. And naturally, after pondering for a while, he reciprocated.
"You're right, we can't do nothing. However, we can't do useless work that doesn't work. I thought of a way, maybe you can carry forward your previous proposal. However, this The solution may require your cooperation."
"My cooperation?" Seemingly surprised that Stark would make such an opinion at this time, Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded. "Of course, if necessary, I will cooperate with you. But, you must first let me know what you are thinking. Before I have heard your specific explanation, I dare not give you an answer." affirmative answer."
"My idea is very simple, Ms. Gu Yi." Touching his chin, he revealed a meaningful smile. Stark said so to her. "I wonder if you are interested in participating in a talk show?"
"Talk show?" Hearing this familiar word, the expression on Gu Yi's face immediately wrinkled.
You know, the origin of the talk show business can be traced back to the eighteenth century. In the coffee bar gatherings in England, some people would discuss current affairs in the name of talk show. The place where talk shows have really developed is in the United States. It wasn't until 1933 that interactive talk shows appeared in a real sense.
Since then, although talk shows have always existed, they have not really formed a so-called fashion. And when it really became a popular road sign, it should have started in the 1980s. This is a very embarrassing era, because Gu Yi never took over anything after this era. So naturally, when faced with this familiar yet unfamiliar thing, she began to hesitate.
"I've heard of talk shows, but I think the talk shows you mentioned should be very different from what I understand. So, can you speak more clearly?"
"It's very simple, you understand it as a popular TV show with a large audience. My idea is this, I will put you on the title of a special adviser to the White House, and then arrange for you to participate in the talk show And other reality TV shows. You use your ordinary methods to show your audience how to subdue evil spirits and devils. In secret, we will use all available means to help you , do everything possible to make you a superstar figure who is popular in the world. And you can use the influence brought by your superstar aura to spread and spread your set of magic spells."
"Because you can only be regarded as a public figure, even if you have the name of a special adviser to the White House, it is absolutely impossible to involve the government. Therefore, even if there are large-scale casualties, we can still treat it as a Treat it by accident. As long as you say something before the show, it is risky. I hope ordinary people don’t try it. The law will never hold you accountable. If someone insists on using the If you use your identity to make use of the problem and forcefully put the blame on the government. I can also use the name of you as a temporary worker to shirk the problem. In this way, except for a little slower speed, there is absolutely no problem. It's not as good as the idea you had before. Plus, it's more stable and more manageable. Isn't it?"
Stark's proposal really made Gu Yi see what a fantastic idea is. She really didn't expect that the dignified President of the United States could come up with such an outrageous idea. This made her a little dizzy until now, so that she still couldn't believe it.
"You mean, you want me to be a star, like Elvis?"
"No, it should be said that it is greater than Elvis Presley. Like Michael Jackson. There are billions of fans around the world. This is your goal!"
