Chapter 957: Live Broadcast (Please Give Me Double Monthly Votes in the Last 23 Hours!!!) 4600 Words Please Give Me Votes
Batman was silent for a moment, his blue lenses flashing, and finally said: "So, are you ready to wear something for the live broadcast? I think you should at least change into clean clothes, so that people will be more likely to believe you. read"
Lawrence lowered his head and looked at the wrinkled shirt that still smelled like sweat. He suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Wait for me for ten minutes."
…
Lawrence tried hard not to look at the streets and buildings passing by quickly below him, and yelled: "I think we can definitely hurry in a more...less violent way. You know, the earthquake won't come so quickly. We still have time!"
Batman held the buckles on Lawrence's body with both hands and slid through the night sky to the ABC TV building not far away: "Do you think I can get to the TV station by taxi if I'm dressed like this? And if I'm earlier, I can save more people." !”
Lawrence tried hard to hold his abdomen in, restrained his urge to urinate, and yelled: "If you are willing to call in advance, I think the TV station will send a special car to take us into the studio quickly. It's fast and safe!"
"Phone?" Batman tilted his head: "Do you know my phone number?"
"What?" Lawrence looked confused. What kind of problem was this?
"Look, the TV station doesn't know either... Are you asking me to prove it's me over the phone?" It's a bit convoluted, but the general idea is still very clear.
Only then did Lawrence understand why Batman had to rush on his own. Logically speaking, if someone suddenly called him and told him that he was Batman, Lawrence would immediately think that the person on the other end was crazy.
This question and answer also made Lawrence relax a lot. Asked the question I've always wanted to ask.
"Can I ask, why did you bring me along? With your reputation, as long as you appear on the TV station, people will believe whatever you say." Speaking of this, Lawrence felt a little sad. He has studied earthquakes for his whole life. As a result, no one believed what he said. But Batman, a layman, definitely believes it!
This is unfair, but realistic.
Batman was speechless for a moment and then said: "Batman is not omnipotent. Next time someone dresses up like this and publishes false news, do you think people should believe it?"
Lawrence is not stupid, and even a fool cannot become a professor at the California Institute of Technology, the world's top university.
Indeed, Batman is unique and easy to believe. But the question is, how to prove that Batman is Batman? Although the armor on his body is very powerful, it is not impossible to imitate it if you spend some time and effort. It does not need to have any functions, as long as it looks the same!
Who is Batman?
No one knows.
Batman has no intention of telling anyone who he is.
So the topic comes back, how to tell if Batman is Batman?
Kai's choice, no discernment!
He directly brought a professional over, and Batman didn't say a word the whole time, only endorsed.
This will prevent anyone from using Batman's identity to spread false news to the greatest extent.
Lawrence just made a simple logical analysis and knew why this man who should be Batman was unwilling to use his identity as Batman to issue earthquake warnings. Although that would be simpler and easier to win people's trust than Lawrence coming forward. Soon, the two landed on the top floor of the ABC TV building.
Lawrence: "What now?"
"Go down, find the studio, and I'll start a live broadcast for you."
Lawrence: "Huh?"
Is live broadcasting so simple? You're not kidding! A certain professor cursed in his heart, but kept up with his steps honestly.
The door on the top floor of the TV station building is locked, but this is not a problem for Batman, he can just kick it.
Batman then walked around as if he were entering his own home.
TV stations are also very busy at night. In fact, in this business, we are busy all day long.
Many people saw Batman wandering around the TV station with an old man, but they didn't react at first. By the time he reacted, Batman was already gone.
Suddenly, there were a bunch of idle people behind Batman.
People from the TV station even found their own cameras and captured this rare scene.
Finally Batman found a studio that was being used.
Without any hesitation, Batman walked right in.
There is a talk show going live here at 9pm. The host is a middle-aged white man with a serious face, but rarely speaks seriously. This host named Colen is a famous talk show host in the United States. The talk show named after him is also the most watched talk show in Los Angeles and even the United States. Even if it's only ten minutes each time.
Kai doesn't watch much TV, so he doesn't recognize this guy.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was busy. Colen was communicating quietly with the live broadcast guests, making final preparations for the upcoming live broadcast. Suddenly, the door of the live broadcast room was pushed open.
At first, no one noticed the door. As a result, it became increasingly noisy outside. The staff inside stopped what they were doing, looked over, and involuntarily whispered: "Batman?"
"Is this live broadcast?" Batman asked.
The others were dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.
It was the host who reacted first.
He knows this is big news!
Never mind whether this Batman is real or fake! This is big news!
"Yes! It's a live broadcast!"
"I want to use this live broadcast to insert a piece of news. Who is in favor and who is against it?"
No one said anything. It's not that no one objected, but those who wanted to object didn't know how to say it, or they didn't have the courage to say it.
Of course, smart people also know that whoever objects at this time will be fired by the boss! What a big news! Only idiots will refuse!
The producer and director of this program, as well as the host, Koren's eyes were full of light, and he felt that he was going to be rich!
"Of course! I have wanted to interview you for a long time, Batman, I am your die-hard fan."
Looking at the host's eager expression, Batman tilted his head. Although he can't read minds, Kay can be sure that this guy is definitely not a die-hard fan.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved.
"Thank you all for your cooperation." He said thank you, but pushed his hand back, and a gentle force pushed all the idle people behind him out of the studio. Then he swung his hand, and a bat dart nailed it right on the door, blocking the door.
This move didn't scare people, but made many people excited.
What is Batman's specialty?
First, he can fly. Although it is not a unique ability.
But no one has seen it.
Second, he uses a magical ability. Many people speculate that it is some unknown technology. For this, people are very accepting. After all, there are too many black technologies in recent years. Now everyone has seen it.
Third, it is the amazing dart technology.
Batman's tricks just prove that he is not a knockoff of fanatical fans cosplay.
But a moment later, Coren screamed: "What! Not interviewing you?"
What's the point?
If he can interview Batman, Coren can become the most powerful talk show host in the United States, no one else!
Interviewing the president is not this powerful!
Anyway, there is a new president every four years, but there is only one Batman!
The busy people also paused. Being the first to interview Batman is definitely explosive news. It is worth breaking some rules for this, even breaking the law!
But if it is not an interview with Batman, this problem will be serious. Rules and regulations must be followed everywhere, unless the interests are so great that they can be overwhelmed. Batman is a guest, and this weight can suppress the rules and regulations, but it would be difficult to change someone else.
"The protagonist this time is him, Professor Lawrence." Batman doesn't care about them. He directly pushes Lawrence out. "Of course, you can refuse!"
"Five minutes!" At this time, Coren showed the decisiveness of a successful person. Although Batman's words contained threats, Coren was fearless. He knew that Batman was the coldest superhero, but also the most principled. He had never killed anyone and never hurt innocent people. "Just give me five minutes of interview time! Just five minutes, this gentleman can say anything he wants! Our TV station will try its best to spread everything he wants to say, even if he promotes Satanism!"
Coren is a believer, which is not surprising. After all, 80% of Americans believe in God. But obviously this Coren is not a devout believer.
"Two minutes!" Batman said very concisely.
"...Okay." Of course Coren wanted to fight for it, but when he saw Batman's cold mask, he gave up. Obviously, this superhero is not so easy to deal with.
He doesn't care about that professor, he only cares about Batman. This professor has no selling point at all. And Batman's two minutes is unique in the world! Even if it's only two minutes, the TV station can rely on this to sell a sky-high price GG!
He can also get more fame because of this!
Five minutes later, the live broadcast began.
Only thirty seconds into the interview with Professor Lawrence, Colen wanted to hit the wall in frustration.
He was wrong!
This fat professor is not a guy without selling points. He brought a shocking selling point-the California earthquake is about to happen. This selling point may make him lose his job, but he actually broadcast it like this!
No wonder he asked what he wanted to talk to this fat guy just now, and Batman just said that he would just adapt to the situation at that time.
Many people say that the United States has freedom of speech, and the media can say whatever they want. People who really say this actually don't understand what American freedom of speech is!
Many people say that the American media has the power of supervision, known as the fourth power.
This statement is wrong!
Whether it is the Constitution or any current law, there is no such clause! That's just the media putting gold on their own face! The United States has been established for more than 200 years, and no government or Congress has ever legislated on this.
The media and public opinion are controlled by capital, and there is no such thing as independence.
When it does not touch some bottom lines, the media can indeed speak nonsense, even if it is groundless nonsense. But once it involves the bottom line, the media is stricter than everyone else and will never touch the line.
For example, causing great panic in the whole society is definitely not what the TV station should do.
This will cause the TV station to suffer huge losses!
The American TV media also has a supervisory agency!
The Los Angeles earthquake... Haha, once this unconfirmed news spreads to the society, the turmoil it causes will definitely be earth-shattering! There is no doubt that capital will suffer huge losses in this turmoil!
Public opinion is controlled by capital.
People in the media may not be afraid of politicians or celebrities, but they are afraid of capital!
Thinking of what he might encounter after tonight, Colen didn't go crazy on the spot, but he was already very nervous.
Because, he still has a trump card - Batman is his trump card. As long as Batman agrees to the interview, he is confident that he can weather any storm.
Soon, Lawrence Hayes' live broadcast was completed, and everyone in the live broadcast room had cold sweat on their backs.
Not only for his own job, but also for the upcoming earthquake.
Here we have to talk about the issue of credibility.
If it was just Lawrence, who would believe what this bad old man said? They would only laugh at him for saying anything just to be famous.
But it's different with Batman's endorsement.
At least no one believes that Batman would fool everyone with a bad old man. Batman doesn't need such clumsy means to create topics.
Others bring their own traffic!
Batman's character is there, and everyone unconsciously believes his words.
This is why Batman is on camera.
He doesn't need to say anything, he just needs to endorse it.
"Okay, Coren, you only have two minutes."
Colen got excited, turned on the headset, and shouted to the staff in the live broadcast room: "Concentrate, we have to finish it in one go."
Colen knew it wouldn't take more than a few minutes for all kinds of people to break in. Neither the TV station itself nor other regulatory authorities would tolerate the live broadcast just now!
If Batman's interview is not completed before then, he will lose his biggest bargaining chip, and the men in the live broadcast room will also be unlucky. At that time, losing their jobs was considered a minor matter, and they might all be taken to court. Everyone in the live broadcast room also understood this and tried their best to complete the preparations.
Two minutes was too short. Column had already made up his mind to check all the surveillance cameras and cameras later and save all the footage of Batman. No matter what, we have to cut out a half-hour special report!
It's just bad money, no shame!
This is all precious first-hand information, priceless.
In less than thirty seconds, Colen signaled that it was time to start.
"Batman, can I ask you about your true identity?" Colen knew that he didn't have much time, so he threw away all the other things and started asking questions directly. The other scenes could be edited and reshot later.
"No comment!" Batman's iconic cold mechanical synthesizer sounded.
Column was not disappointed, although he did think that if Batman had a big explosion, he would really go to heaven!
"Can you tell me why you want to be a superhero?"
"This era needs heroes!"
"Why you?" Colum is getting better. He needs to ask the most critical questions in the shortest time. The rest can be played out afterwards. I believe that Batman will not care as long as it is not excessive. Of course, even if he cared, the most he would get was a beating. He didn't think his late performance would kill him, and Batman didn't kill anyone.
"Behind this mask is not a specific person, but a belief, Mr. Colum. It doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't even matter if the person behind Batman exists! What matters is that when people need a hero to stand up When it comes out, someone will always stand up. It doesn’t matter who that person is! Everyone can be a hero.”
Very standard beautiful words.
If it were another person, he might be laughed at by Column. But the words spoken by the man in front of him made everyone present stand in awe.
"You never kill anyone, why?"
"in principle."
"Why is there such a principle?"
"Restrain yourself!" There are many interpretations of this statement, leaving it to Colen's own imagination.
Coren doesn't need an accurate answer, although he also wants to hear it, but this is enough! Otherwise, how can you express yourself?
"The time is almost up, Mr. Column," Batman suddenly reminded.
"Last question, why did you bring Mr. Lawrence here? You should know how much panic that news will cause, which will cause huge losses to Los Angeles. Once this prediction does not happen, then you..."
"Save people! Apart from this, everything else is irrelevant!" Batman said decisively.
At this moment, Colon was speechless.
He understands what Batman means.
No amount of property damage or chaos is as important as human life! Including his own reputation.
As a person from Vanity Fair, Colen understands the weight of this sentence very well!
Batman will give up anything to save others!
