Chapter 456 Reporters and Miss Dailan (Two in One)
That's ironic.
Not counting the transfer station at Sun Island, Russell had already boarded the airship three times. But only this time, the airship he boarded landed smoothly and was not hijacked by anyone...
This return trip was a rare smooth sailing journey for him. For a moment, Russell was still a little uncomfortable with it.
So much so that when he left the airship and felt the down-to-earth feeling, he suddenly had the illusion that "I haven't arrived at the destination yet."
The reporters who were squatting outside began to become restless as soon as they saw the airship landing.
Before the ultramarine came out, they began to crowd forward. I want to be able to squeeze into the front row first when Ultramarine comes out of the airship and grab the first-hand news. Those little-known self-media practitioners are all young people dreaming of “journalist dreams.”
They want to join Tian'en Daily and become reporters. However, even the most marginal reporters in Tian'en Daily are definitely not something ordinary people like them can do.
Having a degree from Tian En University is just a stepping stone. On this basis, it is also required that the applicant must be under 28 years old and have more than five years of working or performing experience. And you must have at least one piece of news on hand with a rating of "eight million points" or above, and three news items with a rating of "one million points" or above.
In Happy Island, where the entertainment and media industries are most prosperous, they have long stopped using backward data like "clicks" to consider ratings. That will only make people try to come up with some gimmicky headlines without delving into the deeper news content.
On Happy Island, the criterion for evaluating a reporter’s strength is by no means just “restoring the facts.” Being able to explain things clearly and clearly is just a basic skill. It is the minimum entry standard.
If you want to enter the highest-level media industry center like Tian'en Daily, you must be able to blend your own opinions into the news without any trace while not lying, and without being annoying or being noticed by others. Ability to convince others.
Making false reports is absolutely not allowed and will be ridiculed by the entire industry. Yet journalists are by no means objective—in fact, they never can be, nor need they be.
The three views and pre-existing arguments held by reporters will inevitably constrain and modify the direction of news in a subtle way; and they cannot guarantee that the part they interview is the complete picture of the situation. Not to mention...the end point of these reporters is actually to carry out ideological induction and enlightenment in all fields under the orders given by Tianen Group.
On this basis, the standard that can be used to evaluate a reporter’s strength is “effective reading time.” After the news is released, every reader who sees this news and stays on this news for one minute will be regarded as accumulating one point. The specific value can have a decimal point, and the minimum unit is five seconds. That is, if the reader crosses out the news without looking at it for five seconds, it will be regarded as invalid news.
If someone opens it repeatedly, ponders over it, and appreciates it, points can be added multiple times; similarly, if a reader forwards this news to other people, points can be added geometrically as more people see it.
There are only 40 million people in Happy Island. To reach 8 million points, that is to say, if the default reading time of this news is half a minute, 16 million people will have to watch it; if each person watches it for an average of two minutes, 4 million people will have to watch it. Seen.
——What a demanding requirement!
Normally, unless there is very big news that has not been reported by Tian'en Daily, it is impossible to make up enough within five years of working in the industry. And most importantly - if fake news is reported and verified, it will be deleted directly by the church. All news is stored in the church server. Once uploaded, even the uploader cannot delete it. If you want to make changes, you must go through the Cyber Church process. Once the church passes the review and finds that the news contains "obviously misleading content" or "obvious errors and fallacies," it will delete the news and issue a warning.
Therefore, many self-media practitioners have found another way - they buy a large amount of advertising and publish one of their reports as an advertisement, which requires a lot of money; or simply record the news into an interesting video format and put it in their personal space Top inside.
This may seem illegal, but it is actually allowed.
Because the former means that the reporter has a flexible moral bottom line, a certain level of economic and creative ability, and can deeply understand the "meaning of money" and not fall behind when engaging in gray transactions, then this is an easy to exploit Reporter; the latter means that this reporter has the ability to create a lot of interesting content. As a producer of high-quality content, he can easily gather a large number of fans. So as long as he joins Tian'en Daily, it is equivalent to importing all this traffic. Go to Tian'en Daily to consolidate Tian'en Daily's overwhelming traffic advantage.
——This is why Tianen Daily recruits active idols.
But even so, if there is no big information, at best it can only produce million-level news. After all, there is another rigid standard, which is "before the age of 28."
It is difficult to make huge news with a score of 8 million points using only these small means.
They are so eager to join Tian En Daily.
Being able to appear in front of tens of millions of people and become a well-known star in the streets, with a reputation that is directly higher than that of more than 95% of idols; even if you can't sing and dance, you can easily gain a group of fans. After working in the industry for several years or more than ten years, You can accept advertising endorsements, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life; and even if you are just an intern reporter at Tian'en Daily, you can be regarded as a company dog of the "Tian'en Group", and you will receive all kinds of benefits.
Moreover, Tianen Daily will definitely cover all the major events in Happy Island. Therefore, as a reporter, it is very easy to come into contact with big figures that you never dreamed of coming into contact with before... Even if you can just add a friend or become familiar with the person, you can solve many problems that have troubled ordinary people for years and are difficult to solve.
And when traveling for work, the queue is always full. Not only can you take armed helicopters and floating vehicles to and from get off work, but you can also bring a group of bodyguards with you wherever you go.
——It can be said that this is the simplest and clearest way for civilians to change their identity!
Just an hour ago, while they were watching TV... they heard from the "barber" that "Ultramarine" was in a cooperative relationship with him.
The slightly sensitive reporter was so excited that his whole body trembled and his brain went numb!
They realize so clearly that the possibility of changing their lives is just around the corner!
Previously, Shu Ya said that Ultramarine went to Tongshen Island and became the hero who saved Tongshen Island; and although they didn't know exactly when Ultramarine would come back, it was obvious... Ultramarine could only return by Sun Island's airship.
They immediately checked the airports with flights to Sun Island and conducted real-time inquiries. Then they immediately saw an airboat arriving at 11:20 this morning.
——But if you carefully investigate historical flights, you will find that this should not be possible. Because normal passenger airships depart at noon and arrive in the evening, there has never been a flight arriving in the morning for several months from this day. Moreover, the logo of this flight is not a "passenger airship" or a "cargo airship", but a "special escort airship".
Relatives of heroes and directors who saved Tongshen Island can enjoy special flight treatment... It sounds like it should be normal.
When these future reporters, through their own logical reasoning abilities, guessed that Ultramarine would be back soon.
Only then did they regretfully realize that less than half an hour had passed.
They quickly contacted their teams and called them over directly, while stumbling away from the company or home.
It’s too late to wait for the subway. They either took a taxi, or simply called a floating car out of pain, just to get to the airport as quickly as possible and get first-hand information.
...But the young reporters who belatedly discovered that they were not the only ones who realized this.
The airport has been surrounded by dense crowds, and Tian'en Daily's helicopter is parked nearby.
And at the front is "Dai Lan", a young reporter from Tian'en Daily.
It was a tall young girl wearing high heels, high-D black stockings and a short skirt.
She has black fox ears and long, refreshing black hair that could be directly featured in a shampoo commercial without any special effects, and she has a touch of blue highlights on her forehead. Of course the young reporters know her identity... Her spiritual relative is the Silver Black Fox, a new reporter who quickly changed her job after debuting in a singer audition.
And she was chatting with another girl next to her.
The man's pure white long hair was neatly tied up behind him, with two bunches of hair hanging down on both sides of his head, and he had fluffy canine ears and tail. She was wearing Tianen Group's iconic black turtleneck trench coat, with her hands in her pockets and always staring at the airship. She just responded to Dailan's words casually, without even looking back at her.
But even so, Dailan still looked quite reserved.
The reporters knew at a glance that this girl's status must be quite high. But no matter how much these young reporters guessed, they still couldn't find her identity.
Some of the stunned young people wanted to push forward, but were immediately frightened back by the bodyguards wearing heavy, fully enclosed armor and modified with high-strength prosthetics.
The bullets in their hands were not live ammunition, but riot control rounds made of rubber. But even so, being hit by this thing is still very painful.
Not to mention, in addition to these rubber bullets, they also have stun batons and Taser guns. If he was electrocuted... no matter how painful it was, the prosthetic body on his body would most likely be damaged as a result. Repairing the prosthetic body requires a lot of money.
That means direct financial losses.
Lysis belongs to yes.
However, there are still wealthy young people who are not afraid of electric shocks or bullets.
He stretched his neck and seemed to recognize the identity of the girl who was talking to Dai Lan.
But before he could shout to her at the top of his lungs, he was kicked out by the bodyguards of Tian'en Daily for crossing the line.
There was no warning or pushing - the moment he crossed the line, the three men's guns were immediately pointed at him. Countless rubber bullets were like a rainstorm, knocking him to the ground directly.
The surrounding crowd dispersed in a flash.
When they came back together again, there was an obvious distance between them offline.
Some young people couldn't help but grit their teeth.
Still too late——
Once Tian En Daily has arrived, it will be difficult for them to squeeze in for interviews. It is because the accompanying reporters from Tian'en Daily are always able to suppress reporters from other newspapers very well.
But it’s still okay to take some secret photos...
If you can grab some traffic, at least the trip will be worthwhile—at least you can earn back the fare!
With this in mind, some smart people have started recording or live broadcasting.
Almost all of their cameras were focused on the airship, and only one of them was focused on Dailan and the white-haired girl next to her.
After waiting for a while, they saw Ultramarine stepping out of the airship that had been parked for a long time. And before that, no passengers left here.
This also convinced the reporters that this was a "special boat" specially prepared for Ultramarine.
A handsome young man with short light blond hair and eyes as clear as emeralds quickly walked out of the airship.
He looked a little tired and therefore expressionless. But when he saw the reporters, he still showed a slightly stunned expression on his face, as if he didn't expect that there were reporters waiting for him. Then he immediately switched back to the identity of "Heroic Ultramarine". Despite the fatigue of the journey, he showed a perfect smile to the crowd, stretched out his hand to say hello, and kept nodding in greeting.
Ultramarine is gentle and bright, like the autumn sun. It can give people warmth without being overly hot.
Just like his code name - it is the color of the sea, giving people a quiet and deep feeling.
——Of course, all of Russell's performances are disguised.
It's all his acting skills.
He couldn't express directly, "I already knew there would be reporters waiting for me." Compared with over-exerted performances such as "confused" and "astonished", just the change from expressionless to a slightly tired business smile is enough to hint at this message.
"Mr. Ultramarine!"
Miss Dailan immediately came over.
Her voice is a slightly deep, textured one. She has such a charm when she sings, and she is the kind of girl who gives people a "handsome" feeling.
"Hello, Miss Dailan..."
Russell first smiled and nodded at Delphinium who was following Dailan, and then asked politely: "Why isn't Miss Bingshui here?"
"...Miss Bingshui was attacked yesterday." Dai Lan's expression darkened.
That wasn't an act - she was really Bing Shui's best friend.
That little penguin has a special charm and has many female friends.
Russell was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Is she okay?"
"Yes, she was rescued by Mr. Emperor. But she was still frightened. She is resting at home these days..."
Dailan covered her mouth with her hands and explained in a low voice.
But even though she lowered her voice and covered her mouth with her hand, she was still able to be picked up by the microphone. This is just her attitude that this is not a formal interview - and through this small gesture, she hints that she and Ultramarine have known each other for a long time, and that Bing Shui is not the only one who knows Ultramarine.
Russell didn't hate this kind of caution.
He just nodded seriously: "When I get back, I will launch an investigation immediately."
"Not long ago, Mr. Emperor already explained this."
Miss Dailan said quickly: "He just performed an 'Emperor's Talk Show'. Not only did he express many shocking views, he even invited a mysterious guest..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly got stuck for a moment. The young reporters behind him jumped to their feet.
It can be seen here that Miss Dailan's skills are indeed far inferior to Bing Shui and Xiao Liuli, and even compared to Bai Xue. There is a clear gap.
Her fade-out of the topic was so deliberate that she couldn't even change the subject.
Russell could only actively cooperate: "Oh? Listen to what you said, is that guest... related to me?"
"Yes, he claims to be your collaborator and best friend."
Miss Dailan breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "His code name is Barber...the leader of the Fuji Society.
"He said that he was going to formalize Fuji Society with you. Is this true?"
"certainly."
Russell nodded seriously: "I know him. He is a good person and a trustworthy person."
There seemed to be flames and light shining in his eyes: "He promised me that he would give priority to hiring those who come from poor families and those who are uncoded. He is a person who has come out of such a hard life, and he can understand their We also know what they need most. I think this is a good deed and a pioneering undertaking - allowing the 'Fuji Society' to step out of the shadows and into the sunshine.
"I met Mr. Barber a long time ago... let's put it this way.
"——I think you should still remember Xiao Liuli."
update completed!
Then I recommend the chapter "Is it okay to only have monsters" for my good bear brother Heilong, a pure two-dimensional text! At the same time, he is a VUP like me, and I caught him from Shuke's claw machine!
As a dedicated writer who has been able to write more than six million words in a book from a pigeon nest like a hedgehog cat, I am one of the few moral people who can say that I will not cheat!
