[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time
Chapter 11 New York 7
Luna handed the manuscript that she had written all afternoon to Ellis. Ellis looked at the ten lines at a glance and raised her eyebrows: "It will be delivered for printing in three hours, so you have two choices."
"First, write a new one. Of course, I don't recommend you choose this one. Second, go make a cup of coffee for Kate. She has started writing a backup manuscript at noon."
Luna stood at the desk at a loss: "I want to know where the problem is."
Ellis' expression was cold: "Even if you haven't gone to college, you should know what a reporter does after you have been an intern at a newspaper office for so long."
Luna blurted out, "Report the truth."
Ellis continued: "You can express your opinion, but look at what you write, use all the words to emphasize the suffering of the interviewees, to win sympathy, the usual trick of third-rate journalists."
Luna pursed her lips: "But if the reporter doesn't express his point of view, then the meaning of the topic..."
Ellis interrupted her impatiently: "I know you young people are journalists for ideals, but readers are not fools, and we will never be able to influence readers' thoughts."
"We can only show them the truth, and the truth has its own power."
Ellis took a sip of coffee and continued, "I don't know what that mutant said to you to fill your article with this disgusting... sympathy stuff you can tweet , on Facebook, but as a reporter, objectivity, impartiality and neutrality are the principles, and if you go beyond this principle and show your preferences too much, this is not what news should be."
"Anybody who does that doesn't deserve to be a reporter."
Luna's face turned pale from being scolded, she nodded, and almost fled in despair.
Sitting at her desk, she didn't even have time to feel sorry for herself. She took a deep breath and organized her thoughts. She turned on the computer with trembling fingers, created a new document, and began to re-edit word by word.
When Luna rushed to Ellis' office with the manuscript she had just written, she just heard Ellis say to Kate: "It's ok, I can send it to them later."
Ellis glanced at Luna, turned her head and said to Kate, "Don't go yet." Then she took the manuscript handed over by Luna and started to read it.
Even though manuscripts are now written and delivered in electronic form, Ellis still maintains the habit of drawing circles on the manuscript with a pen, so she still asks her staff to print the manuscript for her to read.
Ellis quickly flipped through it first, her face was still cold and expressionless, but Kate, who was watching along with her, showed an encouraging smile to the anxious Luna.
Ellis turned to the first page again, waved for Luna to come to her side, and then began to spray venom: "This sentence is useless, oh no, this paragraph is useless, the grammar of this sentence is actually wrong, you are a primary school student ......"
Luna let out a long sigh of relief, knowing that she had initially passed.
After Luna left to revise the manuscript, Kate smiled and said: "I read her first version of the manuscript, and I thought you would just abandon her."
Ellis snorted coldly: "I told her I couldn't do it, who knew she would write another one so soon."
Kate said teasingly: "Yeah, I don't know how she figured it out so quickly."
Ellis rarely showed a little bit of annoyed expression: "Are you free to do?"
Kate sighed: "This child may be asking for a lot more than we think."
Ellis took a sip of the cold coffee: "Who has never been young, and who will always be young."
Kate smiled and continued: "But it's great, this kind of ambition to change the world, and always believe in the vitality of blood that can't be cooled, makes me feel younger."
The next morning Ellis said to Luna: "The editor-in-chief decided to push your article on the official Twitter today, write an article suitable for spreading on Twitter, and send it to me in half an hour."
Luna was stunned by this huge surprise. The Bugle Daily has an official Twitter account, and one or two articles will be tweeted every day. However, this good job usually falls on the columnist. When there is any breaking news, only the relatively new and valuable articles on other pages of the daily will be published.
The character limit of Twitter is 140, and because it is disseminated on the Internet with a lot of fragmented information, its writing style and content are very different from articles on ordinary paper media.
Luna held the short manuscript that was sent back for the fifth time, and sat on the chair with sloppy steps. Peter, who was picking out the photos, came over: "If you are timid in the day of trouble..."
"...Your strength is tiny." Luna casually continued, "Come on, Peter, what I need now is a cup of coffee or green tea, not a Bible."
Peter grimaced, turned to the coffee machine and poured a cup of coffee.
In addition to this article, Luna still has the news of the day to run, and she was too busy to read the official tweet that was sent out, so when she returned to the apartment at night and heard Lily say: "You are hot.", Luna, who was slumped on the sofa, looked bewildered.
Luna clicked on Twitter, and found that her account, which had never posted a post, had gained nearly [-] followers in a day. She shook her phone and almost dropped it on the ground. She did not read her own message first. The official tweet of the Bugle Daily.
That official tweet had more than 1 likes and retweets, which is considered a pretty good achievement in the industry. Luna clicked on the comment below.
"I know this person. He is a very kind person in normal life. Even if he is a mutant, I would still like to be friends with him."
"Can't imagine my husband being a mutant."
"It seems that he is no different from ordinary people."
"Didn't anyone else in the comment section notice that he blew up the house?"
"Flour and fire, we have done this experiment in elementary school, it can only be said to be an accident."
The comments below were extremely noisy, with those who thought Sam was innocent and those who thought he should be locked up.
Luna frowned and read the comments one by one. Sam is already considered the most harmless mutant representative. He has concealed his identity for a long time, never hurt anyone, and almost never used his abilities. However, even so, half of the mutants Think he's dangerous.
Luna sighed, feeling deeply that she still had a long way to go, but she had started anyway.This will be a road that gets narrower and narrower. Fortunately, she never thought of turning back.
Luna, who used Twitter until late at night, went to work the next day with a pair of obvious dark circles under her eyes. Ellis called her to the office and stared at her for a while.
Luna didn't know why she felt a little guilty, and asked cautiously: "What can you do for me?"
Ellis pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to be a reporter?"
Luna didn't expect that she called herself to answer this kind of question early in the morning, so she replied casually: "I believe that some things are worth working hard for."
Ellis ignored her empty answer and said bluntly, "You want to do a feature on mutants?"
Luna grimaced: "Yes, I want to do an exclusive interview with mutants."
Ellis gave her a deep look, said, "Childish," and waved her back to work.
Luna didn't know why Queen Ellis called herself over to mock her, but she had gradually adapted to Ellis' poisonous tongue now.Although Ellis can't speak well at all, she is extremely professional and arranges work in an orderly manner. She is a rare good leader.
Before lunch at noon, Luna was discussing today's topic selection with Kate, and Ellis walked over in ten-centimeter high heels.
"The day after tomorrow, our section can push another article related to mutants. It must be timely and meet the consistent content requirements of our social section. I will give you half a page. You don't need to follow today's news. It will be before [-] o'clock tomorrow morning Give me the first draft. The editor-in-chief is very interested in your report yesterday, so tomorrow's article is very important, I think you should understand."
Luna took a breath: "Understood, thank you Queen."
Elis gave her a cold look, turned and left.
Luna began to think seriously about the candidates. The X-Men would definitely fail, not to mention that they are almost hidden from the world and have no current affairs. Their rich and colorful resumes are not suitable for publication on the social board. The fraternity is also the same. If it is reasonable, then you can only find those mutants who are mixed in with ordinary people.
Luna considered for a while, made up her mind, said hello to Kate, and asked Peter to go out together.
Sitting on the bus, Peter asked, "Who are we going to?"
Luna whispered to him mysteriously: "A leader of mutants."
Luna found a hardware repair shop with ease, and after explaining her intentions to a tall black man in the shop, he thought for a while and said in a rough voice: "Room 403 in that building, Ms. White, I think she is more Meet your requirements."
After Luna thanked the store manager, she and Peter were going to visit Ms. White. On the way, Peter couldn't help but said, "Is the leader of the mutants you're talking about the store manager?"
Luna shook her head: "Jack is not the store manager, he is a clerk."
Peter: "...so, leader?"
Luna explained: "He united the mutants in two nearby streets, protected their identities from being recognized, and even held regular parties."
As the two arrived at Room 403, Luna knocked on the door, and the door opened quickly. A woman in an apron stuck her head out. She looked about 40 years old, her hair was coiled up high, and she looked A bit reserved, it is the image of a standard housewife.
After Luna and the two revealed their identities, Ms. White showed vague resistance: "I don't think I have anything worthy of being interviewed."
Luna said, "Jack asked me to come, and he said I should hear your story."
After hearing Jack's name, Ms. White relaxed her guard, and she opened the door completely: "Please come in and chat, I just made tea."
Ms. White has been a full-time wife since she got married. Her husband is a small clerk working in a bank, and his salary is more than enough to support two people. Their children have already gone to college.
"About half a year ago during the financial crisis, his work was seriously affected, so he hit me once after drinking."
"Then he noticed that my wounds healed much faster than normal."
Luna asked, "Does anyone else know about your abilities?"
Ms. White shook her head: "I discovered that I was different from others when I was about ten years old. At that time, my neighbor's kid was also a mutant. His skin suddenly turned blue one day, and his parents sent him to the circus. .”
"So I am afraid that others will find out that I am different. When I was young, I carried a small knife with me. If I was really injured in front of others, I would secretly scratch the wound every once in a while."
"After my husband found out about my secret, he began to abuse me domestically. Just yesterday I couldn't bear it and called the police, but the police said that I didn't have any injuries on my body."
"Although my wound heals quickly, I still feel pain." Ms. White smiled self-deprecatingly, "It hurts very much."
"So I told the police I was a mutant."
"But the police quickly left, saying that mutants are not protected under the Violence against Women Act."
"First, write a new one. Of course, I don't recommend you choose this one. Second, go make a cup of coffee for Kate. She has started writing a backup manuscript at noon."
Luna stood at the desk at a loss: "I want to know where the problem is."
