[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

Focus on newspapers.

In the afternoon, the newspaper office gradually began to have more people. In the office hall, there were people making phone calls, people frantically typing on the keyboard in front of the computer to write manuscripts, and some people who were idle and chatting for a while. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

When Mary arrived at the newspaper office, it was the time when the newspaper office was most crowded every day. She said to the front desk: "I'm here to find Derek, is he here?"

The girl at the front desk smiled: "Of course, you also know that he is a famous newspaper man, don't you?"

Mary also laughed, yes, that's right, she waved at the girl, and walked in, many colleagues in the office expressed that they were surprised by Mary's appearance, but they all greeted Mary friendly Among them, Tom stood up from his seat, greeted Mary and said, "Hey, Mary, come here!"

Mary paused, thought for a while and walked over, and asked, "You don't have any photography assignments today?"

"Yes, I have to go out and do it later. One ticket." Tom waved his hand and said mysteriously, "Why are you here suddenly?"

"I'm here to talk to Derek," Mary said.

Tom nodded, looked at her and said, "By the way, you left me a message a few days ago. I was just a little dizzy with work. I didn't reply to you. What do you want to tell me? I saw you just now and thought you They came to find me!"

"I wanted to ask about the manuscript about Captain America and the Winter Soldier..." Mary looked at him and smiled slightly. "At that time, I planned to trouble you, but now, maybe I have to thank you!"

Tom was a little embarrassed and said: "Oh, sorry, I thought that was actually very good, so I changed it and sent it to you, but don't worry, I will give you all the money, including other copyrighted manuscripts .”

"It's okay, I see." Mary nodded, reaching out to pat his arm, "I have to go to Derek, something urgent."

Tom nodded and said, "Well, okay, let's call."

Mary smiled, turned around and walked towards Derek's office, before reaching the door, the door of his office opened from the inside, Derek came out with a coffee cup in his hand, and saw her froze , and said, "Mary Winston?"

"Hi Derek, long time no see."

Derek's office.

"I didn't expect you to come to me for help." Derek leaned back in his chair, looked at Mary and said, "What can I do for you?"

"I still owe you a lot, don't I?" Mary said, looking at Derek.

"You don't owe me anything anymore. Don't you remember your Captain America manuscript? You have completed the task. Although I am not completely satisfied with the completion, you did not resign without throwing your hands away." Derek Staring at Mary, "Or tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Captain America, Steven Rogers, was taken away by the military from the Avengers base an hour ago," Mary said.

"What?" Derek showed a surprised expression, "This is the main story you said? An hour ago? Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true." Mary nodded and said affirmatively, "And the fact that I want to ask you for help has something to do with Captain America."

Derek didn't speak after hearing the words, but squinted at her slightly.

"The Avengers want to save Captain America." Mary said directly without any nonsense, "Please help me, use public opinion, to help the Avengers save Steven."

Derek looked at her in silence for a long time, and said, "Mary, you are so naive."

Mary looked back at him and asked, "What?"

"You think public opinion is too simple, besides, you come to me for help, don't you realize what kind of newspaper we are? I'm focusing here, not the New York Times!" Derek looked at her seriously, slowly Slowly said: "Sorry, I can't help you."

"Derek!" Mary frowned slightly, and said, "Yes, I know, Spotlight makes a living out of entertaining lace, but no one stipulates that Spotlight can't focus on other, different news, right? You say But what people want to see is what matters, so you don’t think people want to know what happened to Captain America?”

Derek didn't answer, he picked up the coffee cup and took a sip slowly, after a long silence, he said: "Well, you are right, Captain America is still the hottest, he is the first person in American history Superhero, even if he becomes a wanted man, people still want to know everything about him, and your manuscript has proved this. But," he paused, looked directly at Mary, and said, "why do you think, Can public opinion help the Avengers save him? If Captain America is arrested by the military, there is nothing to blame for the crime of treason on his arrest warrant."

"No, you misunderstood me. I didn't want to use public opinion to criticize the military's actions. Of course, from the military's arrest of Steven, in fact, they are not actually responsible for arresting people, are they? ?So, my purpose is not to criticize the military's actions, but to use public opinion to supervise and prevent the military from taking the next step." Mary said.

Derek stared at Mary, sighed slightly, and said, "So, you are still too naive, you can't stop what the military wants to do, no matter what method you use."

"No, I don't think it can be stopped. Don't you know the power of public opinion?" Mary asked, "I just need to start, and all kinds of forces will join in, and there will always be one party that will control the military."

"Once public opinion rises, you can't control it." Derek said without any emotion: "I can't control it, and you can't."

"I didn't want to control public opinion. As I said, many Internet incidents have also proved that once public opinion rolls over like waves, there will naturally be capital or forces that feel profitable to enter the market. What I want is those who have plans for the military. Come in." Mary looked at Derek and said, "I think very clearly, really, the whole thing won't have much impact on Steven, because what I want is to use public opinion to incite some A caring person."

Derek was silent.

"This is a war, a war of public opinion. Whoever starts first will stand at the forefront and attract the attention of people in the United States and even the world." Mary said with a slight smile, "Don't you want to focus on this storm?" Is it the navigator in the

Derek lowered his eyes and drank his coffee. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "So, do you have any good cards in your hand?"

Mary smiled and said, "Many people must want to know where Captain America went and what he did after he was wanted."

Derek said lightly: "Yes, indeed, this is not enough."

Mary nodded slightly and said, "So, do you know that Captain America was turned into a child by Hydra when he cleaned up the Hydra stronghold?"

Derek was taken aback, looked at Mary, squinted and said, "What? It's impossible!"

"Unfortunately, this is true. In order to protect the United States from being tossed by Hydra, Captain America is still working when he is wanted all over the world, and he was taken away by the military just after he recovered from treatment. Do you think if What do people think if they know about this?" Mary looked at him, "Do you think this is enough to cause a little wave of public opinion?"

Derek was silent for a long time, and said: "I need you to provide text and corresponding information."

Mary nodded and said, "No problem."

Derek looked at Mary and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"What?" Mary smiled and said, "Say it!"

"Why are you helping the Avengers save Captain America?" Derek asked.

Mary was silent for a while, looked back at Derek, and said slowly: "Because, he is the one I love."

Derek showed an expression of "as expected", he nodded slightly and said: "Then, first release the news that Captain America has been arrested."

Inwardly relieved, Mary nodded and said, "Thank you, Derek."

"You don't need to thank me, I just think it's profitable." Derek's mouth curled slightly, "Focus will fully cooperate with you, so you need to come back temporarily. Later today, you will preside over the meeting. Since we are going to do it, Then you have to do a good job, how to release all the big news, rhythm and other issues, I hope you can grasp it well."

Mary nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you."
