Persuading a fight becomes stronger: starting from the Kryptonian war

In a low-rise building in the metropolis, dozens of people in suits and leather shoes are busy.

This is the temporary office of Planet Daily, and they are insisting on post-disaster news work.

It has been nearly a week since the Kryptonian super war, but the scars left by the war on the city are hard to heal.

Countless buildings were affected by the war and turned into ruins. Among them were the houses where the people lived, various entertainment and leisure places, and many office spaces.

Some people have lost their homes, some have lost their favorite restaurants or cafes, and some have lost their companies.

Planet Daily is a company that suffered a major blow in this disaster. After the war, the office building collapsed, and many employees were killed and injured.

However, Planet Daily did not fall down. After the company's top management simply arranged for them, many people voluntarily came to the new office to continue working.

This is a very famous news newspaper group in the United States, and there are many excellent employees.

They believe that in such a difficult time, as practitioners of the news media industry, they should not shrink back anyway, but should fight on the front line and report the most real disasters.

This unprecedented disaster must be reported for the world to see.

The ins and outs of the disaster, the damage caused, the government's rescue, the suffering of the victims...

They have to present these things in front of the world, whether it is good or bad, as media people, they are unwilling to let this disaster be buried in the dust of history.

And apart from these disasters themselves, they have another object worthy of publicity.

That is the person who created this disaster, destroyed the metropolis, but saved the world—Superman and Wang Wu.

"Lian!"

The editor-in-chief of the Planet Daily, Perry, squeezed through the aisle full of desks, walked up to Louise, raised the information in his hand and said:
"Here's the new stuff, and you continue to do the Superman story."

"it is good."

Louise Lien took the file, but didn't open it right away, but looked at Perry worriedly and said:
"You should have worked continuously for more than twenty hours, right? I think you need to take a break."

Perry froze for a moment, then smiled and said:
"It's okay, I'm full of energy as soon as I start working, and I don't need to rest. Besides, it's a special period, so there's no time to rest. You should read the information quickly, and if you have any questions, let's discuss it as soon as possible."

Although he said so, the tired look under the dark circles could not be concealed, and his round body before had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

But Louise didn't insist anymore, because she also knew that Perry couldn't rest at this time.

Not only Perry, but she herself hasn't had a good night's sleep for more than ten hours, and her colleagues are also desperately blasting their livers.

Compared with those who are in front of the emergency rescue and disaster relief, they are not hard-working.

People in the whole city are working hard, how can I rest in peace?

So, she quickly opened the information and browsed quickly.

After a moment, she raised her head and asked hesitantly:
"This information..."

"Don't doubt its authenticity."

Perry saw through her thoughts at a glance, stretched his head over and whispered:
"It was exposed by the government."

This information is about Wang Wu, describing his origin in detail, and even briefly introducing the matter of stealing the Kryptonian spacecraft and finally cooperating with the government.

Louise looked stunned, but still asked in a puzzled way:

"Are we going to make him a savior too? Like Superman?"

"Yes, but you have to grasp the scale, Superman first, he second."

Perry nodded and explained:
"After all, his name is 'Superman of the East'."

During this period of time, as information about Wang Wu spread out one after another, people's titles for Wang Wu gradually became unified.

Corresponding to the Superman who grew up in the United States, everyone began to call Wang Wu "Oriental Superman".

Louise blinked her eyes and didn't speak for a while.

"What's wrong, what's the problem?"

asked Perry, frowning.

Louise pondered for a while, glanced at the information and said:

"I think we should be cautious in reporting on this 'Oriental Superman'. Judging from the data, he is not the same as Superman."

"Oh?"

Perry smiled and said:
"Do you think it's not good for us to exaggerate him?"

Louise didn't speak, but her expression was obviously tacit.

Perry shook his head helplessly, and then asked meaningfully:

"And what do you think of our coverage of 'Superman'? Is it glorified, or is it demeaning?"

Hearing this, Louis replied without hesitation:

"Most of the reports about Superman are done by me. I don't think I have glorified or belittled. I am relatively objective."

"is it?"

As if he had guessed Louise's reaction long ago, Perry chuckled and did not refute immediately, but shouted to the side:
"Lombard, do you think Liam's reporting on Superman is objective?"

Hearing Perry calling him, the middle-aged Lombard, a bald white man who listened for a long time, turned his chair and faced the two of them.

He looked at Louise first, and then asked Perry cheerfully:

"Are you telling the truth?"

"of course."

Before Perry could speak, Louise answered with a puzzled expression:
"I don't want to hear your bullshit."

Perry also nodded and said:
"Let's be honest, it's fine."

"Ok."

Lombard shrugged his shoulders, then said solemnly:

"I think Liam's report is a bit exaggerated. Superman doesn't deserve such praise."

"Really?"

Louise looked at Lombard suspiciously, and confirmed:
"Is this your truth?"

Lombard opened his eyes wide, looked straight at Louise, and said sincerely:

"I promise."

"This……"

Louise retorted somewhat puzzled:
"But what I wrote is true. Superman actually defeated the invading Kryptonians and saved the world."

"These things are real, but why don't you tell everyone that Kryptonians came to Earth because of Superman?"

Lombard first affirmed, then denied:

"We all know that the root cause of this disaster is Superman. Everyone has seen that Superman destroyed at least half of Metropolis, but your report didn't mention it. Anyone who works here can see that this kind of one-sided report is a deliberate glorification. Don't tell me you don't understand."

"Are you talking too much?"

Louise looked displeased, and raised her voice to retort:

"This is an absurd theory of victim guilt! Superman didn't do anything that threatened the earth. If Superman failed to stop those Kryptonians, the earth would be completely transformed by the Kryptonians. At that time, all living things on the entire earth would die! Superman saved the world!"

"ok, ok!"

Seeing Louise getting excited, Lombard quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said:

"Louis, don't get excited, this is just my personal opinion, if you think it's wrong, then just treat me as farting..."

After speaking, he looked at Perry helplessly, then turned his chair and went to work on himself.

But Louise found it even more difficult to accept. She turned to look at Perry, and asked with a look of disbelief:
"You think the same as him?"

"I'm afraid so."

Perry smiled wryly, and said quickly before Louise retorted again:
"Louise, I can understand you. You and Superman have been through this together as friends, so it's natural to step into his role. But other people are different..."

Hearing this, Louise fell silent.

"For ordinary people like us, whether it's the Kryptonians who brought the end of the world, or the Superman who saved the world...they are all aliens, breaking our peaceful life and bringing huge troubles to the world..."

Perry spoke in a low voice about ordinary people's normal views on these things, and Louise's complexion became more and more complicated.

After thinking for a long time, Louise said in confusion:

"...Since my opinion on Superman is wrong, why do you still ask me to report on Superman? This kind of false report..."

"Because we need coverage like this right now."

Perry straightened up, looked at the city outside the window, and said with a deep expression:
"This city is in the most difficult time, and people need heroes. Superman can bring hope to the people of the metropolis, get out of pain, and overcome difficulties. Therefore, we must make everyone believe that Superman is their hero, and the Eastern Superman who killed the Kryptonians is the same."

Louise froze for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Perry smiled in relief, turned and left.

And Louise sat in front of the computer and thought for a while, opened the document, and typed out a line of title:
"Hope of Metropolis—Superman and Oriental Superman."
