[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

New York, Queens.

An old apartment building with gray brick walls stood quietly on the street corner, and a man shouted displeasedly: "Mary Winston, get out of here!"

Mary put down her mobile phone, stood up calmly from her desk, adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and walked towards the editor-in-chief's office with her back straightened with sympathetic eyes from her colleagues.

Inside the editor's office.

"Tell me, what's going on here?" Derek Pierce threw the ipad in front of Mary Winston fiercely, pointed at the screen and stared at her and asked, "Can you give me Can you explain it?"

Mary Winston glanced at his ipad, and there was a large photo on the screen, which was the scene of Captain America Steven Rogers and Iron Man fighting against semi-cyborgs, with the slogan on it: " Captain America, is he a wanted criminal or a hero?" The subtitle reads: "Stark's dinner was attacked by terrorists, and the Avengers show their power again"

Mary sighed deeply, looked up at Derek, the editor-in-chief who was furious behind the desk, thought carefully, and said, "This... I can explain."

"What, what, what, what can you explain? This is a major leak! Do you understand? We are the only family in New York that doesn't have live photos and interviews! You are responsible for the line of the Stark Group dinner, aren't you? Derek glared at her angrily, and slapped the ipad on the table fiercely, "Are you not there at all?"

Mary nodded silently.

"So, the Stark Group didn't invite you?" Derek asked sullenly.

Mary looked at him hesitantly, without answering.

In fact, Mary received a press invitation from the Stark Group but did not attend the dinner because she had something to do that night, so she asked her friend Andrew Evans to help take a few photos of the scene, and originally planned to edit it directly Just read the Stark Group's draft and it's over, but I didn't expect that there would be a terrorist attack on the venue. Then, Captain America, who is a global wanted criminal, suddenly appeared with some members of the Avengers. Join forces with Iron Man Tony Stark to settle the terrorist attack perfectly.

On top of that, the guy Andrew Evans didn't take a single picture, so...

Well, anyway, she was remiss in not going, and she couldn't argue that.Mary nodded silently to the black-faced Derek, and whispered, "I'm sorry!"

Derek stared at her speechlessly for a long time, sighed, and said earnestly: "Mary, do you know why I admitted you? Do you know how much trust I have placed in you?" He stretched out his hand Stopping Mary who wanted to speak, "I gave you the greatest investigation authority, but what you got back for me was only some things that everyone knew, but our enemy and newspaper got such wonderful big news!! Don't you think you have betrayed my trust in you?"

Mary sighed again, and said cautiously: "Well, I can explain... about the big stuff you said..."

Derek narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, with a look of doubt on his face, he snorted coldly and said, "How else can you explain it? Others got the material, but you didn't. How else can you explain it? Do you think you can explain it?"

Derek's series of machine-gun questions left Mary almost no room to speak. She waited silently for him to finish, and then said slowly: "As far as I know, the information they got is all fake. of."

"Fake?" Derek laughed angrily, "Come on, how long have you been working here? Three months or four months? Don't you know what a newspaper like ours does?"

I know, of course I know.Mary was silent.

Derek looked at Mary standing in front of him who was silent and respectful, thought of something, suddenly sighed, and said, "You have to understand that you are no longer a reporter for the New York Times, Mary, you are now Our job is not to be an investigative reporter, but an entertainment reporter, and our professionalism is to entertain to death, understand?"

"I understand, Derek, but you really need me to explain this matter!" Mary noticed that Derek's face was no longer as ugly as when she was called in at the beginning, she paused slightly, and talked with He looked at each other: "Captain America did not reconcile with Tony Stark. They joined forces to repel those cyborg biochemicals at the charity party, just because of the situation."

"That's it?" Derek raised his eyebrows, looked at Mary and asked, "Is this your explanation?"

"So, the so-called love and hatred between Tony Stark and Captain America are all fake!" Mary said with certainty.

"Damn it! What did I say? Fake? So what? Even if it's fake, based on this article alone, they not only sell out of newspapers, but also have hundreds of millions of hits on the Internet, and the reprint rate of major news platforms is [-]%. And pay for the reprint right! Just this article! Just this one! Can you make me such an article? You don’t!! You just keep telling me that it’s fake!” Derek ruthlessly He thumped the table hard, "The shit about Tony Stark and Captain America, no matter it's true or not, people like to watch it and are willing to pay for it, that's enough! No one cares about the truth !"

Mary frowned slightly, hesitated to speak, "But Tony Stark and Captain America will care!"

Derek laughed angrily when he heard her words: "God, do you think that as the big boss of the Stark Group, he would care about some *blocked keywords*? No, he wouldn't care at all! Don't you know he used to show off the women he slept with? As for Captain America, he never cared about that, all the entertainment reporters know, Captain America can't even use a cell phone. Not to mention he doesn't even use the Internet , how can it be possible to care about what kind of news is on the Internet, especially the news about him?"

"Well, even if they don't care, I think there are some things that we, as the media, still need some ethics!" Mary insisted.

"Integrity? Can integrity pay you?" Derek pointed to himself, "I am the one who pays you now. I tell you what to do, and you do what you do, instead of insisting on the so-called ethics!" He said heavily After taking a breath, looking at Mary who didn't seem to change her belief because of his words, she suddenly lowered her voice and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I hired you because of me. I see you as if I saw the original Myself, Mary, you are like me when I had nothing. Back then, I plunged into the media circle with a passion for journalistic ideals. Then, I gradually discovered that people don’t really care what the truth is. What they care about is whether the news is sensational enough to become their talking point, as for the truth, no one wants to know!"

"So you've changed your mind because of it?" Mary asked.

"Oh, no. Strictly speaking, I haven't changed, I just" He pondered for a while, thinking about his own words, "I just found a compromise point, that is, doing entertainment news."

Mary understood, she nodded slightly.

Derek stared at Mary, and said solemnly: "So please always remember that you are an entertainment reporter, you are a member of the paparazzi that people say, don't be obsessed with the truth, because the truth is not in the entertainment news. important!"

"Well, I'll try my best to remind myself, I," Mary paused, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "I'm a paparazzi."

Derek nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, now, you should do something to make up for your mistakes, Mary!"

Mary thought for a while, looked at Derek's expectant eyes, and said cautiously: "So, I will do an exclusive interview with the queen Maria?"

Derek stared wide-eyed, looked at Mary in disbelief, and said for a while, "What are you talking about?"

The corner of Mary's mouth twitched, and she said, "Or..."

"It seems that you still don't understand what I mean!" Derek held his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Go and find out about Captain America and his shit. As for the news, don't I need to talk about it?"

"Captain America and his friend Bucky?" Mary smiled helplessly. "The authorities are looking for them. I don't know if I can get any information..." The key is the information you are satisfied with!

"I don't care what you get! In short, this is your mission, don't report anything else to me!" Derek said in a decisive tone.

"Derek!" Mary showed embarrassment, "Even if it's entertainment news, you can only get the information if you can interview the parties, right?"

"When you reported in New York, did those reports interview the parties? Those who were murdered, did you interview them?" Derek's face sank, "I don't want to hear you continue to find reasons! Mary, you have to dig out Captain America’s material, if you don’t want to…” He stared at Mary and said word by word: “Then, if you don’t do it, get out!”
