Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

This world is amazing.

It is strange because of these superpowers who suddenly popped up.

After persuading Mary nonchalantly, Vera dragged her sick body and started her research work in a small ward.

I'm a little sorry to say that she doesn't know anything about these superpowers... Actually, she didn't even know their names when she saw the seven heroes who saved Washington across the screen.

The only Batman who knew was because someone shouted in her ear when the shock wave appeared.

Vera's colleagues always call the media people a group of "bastards with a dog-eat conscience" and "flies chasing stink", but their advertisers themselves are not far behind.

If there is no benefit in doing something, they will never do it.

If she hadn't been on the scene, if she hadn't been pulled back in time by darkness when she was about to die, Vera felt that she might have been the same as those colleagues in showing indifference to this matter.

Even if she finds out that the media is hostile to superpowers, she will only consider whether it will affect the interests of herself and the company, whether there are loopholes that can be exploited, and whether she can take advantage of this news hotspot to make sharp advertisements to make a profit, etc. .

——She was such a ruthless person.

It took Vera a little time to pull out all the reports and materials about "superpowers" in the previous year, and she probably knew the code names and identities of these seven people.

I have to say... Even if I went back to the code names and deeds of these seven "superheroes" today, Vera still felt a headache.

For a long time, the world has defaulted that there are no "superpowers". Even if some news about mutants has been vaguely reported, the public only thinks that this is a deceptive gimmick.

But just over a year ago, the "Superman" of the metropolis was born. He easily lifted a cement truck in front of a crowd of citizens, and everything changed.

Starting from Superman, for more than a year, people with superpowers have sprung up all over the United States. They put on all kinds of uniforms, and then use their superpowers to make big news.

They took various exaggerated code names for themselves, concealed their identities, and called themselves masked vigilantes... However, the public did not buy it.

Most people think that this group of masked vigilantes is trying to abuse their superpowers, and the code names they have given themselves are very secondary.

Vera remembered very clearly that there was a guy code-named "Daredevil" who once fought against gangsters in Manhattan and successfully sent all these villains into the bureau.

Everyone around her at the time took this incident as a joke, thinking that Daredevil was just trying to show off, and the feedback from the media would only be worse.

On her computer, there is now an excerpt from The New York Times on the matter:

"If our rights and interests are damaged, we should go to the court to sue. If we are in danger, we should go to the police station to report the crime. We live in a society ruled by law. We don't need the so-called masked vigilantes to punish evil and promote good. Violence in the name of violation of human rights."

The New York Times has always been keen to please its audience, which means that it publishes opinions condemning Daredevil because its readers love to read it.

It also speaks volumes about how the vast majority of New Yorkers feel about masked vigilantes.

Even Superman with the best reputation is rejected by many people in the Metropolis, let alone everyone else.

The Green Lantern, who is dressed in green light, has been involved with the Air Force all year round. Every time he appears in front of people, he is followed by fighter jets chasing him in despair.

The Flash, wearing a red uniform, is the primary target of the Central City Crime Division. Where this red lightning appeared,

There will always be an investigation by the Central City Police.

As for the Batman who saved Vera, he was probably the weirdest of the seven—because before he actually appeared in Washington, everyone thought Batman was the horror urban legend of Gotham.

It's still the kind that can scare a child to cry if you say it ==

Among them, Wonder Woman with the most special status is the special envoy sent by Paradise Island to the United States.

Given her non-human nature and her unconventional behavior, this heroine has been the one most opposed.

To be honest, if it weren't for the extraordinary combat effectiveness of these seven people in the Battle of Washington, it is estimated that they are still wanted, boycotted, and listed as urban legends.

What's even worse is that even the current carnival posture...is deliberately released by the team behind the scenes to create momentum.

At the end of the investigation, Mary, who had been keeping a wait-and-see attitude, was speechless, and said sympathetically:

"...How did this group of people get such a bad reputation?"

"After these few days, they will only suffer worse."

Vera turned the notebook in Mary's direction.

On the computer screen, a complex but meticulous form was displayed impressively.

This is a model diagram that Vera created temporarily using a program by analyzing data and public opinion trends.

This special chart is simulated based on the current media propaganda and overall public opinion feedback. Its full name is "public opinion life cycle model", which is used to simulate the influence of superheroes on public opinion.

According to the display of this model diagram, it can be clearly seen that:

From the time of the Great War in Washington to the time when Vera woke up, almost all the media in the United States were rushing to report on "superheroes", making the reputation of these seven people reach the peak level in just five days.

"do you understand?"

Vera pointed at the curve that was constantly curving upwards with her finger, and her lips hooked coolly:

"Almost all the influential media in the United States have united, newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio. In the past few days, they have continuously carried out absolutely positive publicity on superheroes, repeating, repeating, and repeating—— This brainwashing communication model is trying to make the popularity of these seven people reach the peak."

Mary was a little puzzled: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Vera explained patiently: "...but the target of their propaganda has been rejected and condemned by all the media and all the officials in the past year."

"This means that the names of these seven people have been officially corrected," Mary was still puzzled. "Isn't this a good thing?"

Vera: "..."

She opened Amazon stoically and ordered a copy of The Rabble for Mary.

Not a good thing.

Because the public's group consciousness is a very subtle existence, it is very easy to be guided by public opinion, but it is also extremely stubborn and difficult to shake.

Just imagine.

An ordinary person has been subtly influenced by the whole society for a whole year, and his impression of these superpowers has become a deep-rooted aversion. Guardians of America's Future,

How would this person feel?

As stubborn as he is, he will never like Chaoying as guided by public opinion, but hate them even more.

Don't look at this time, the whole of the United States, including the president, is very fond of these seven people. Once any opinion leader publicly expresses his opinion against these people, or reveals the black history of these seven people, the whole group will Will defect in minutes.

Those who have always hated Chaoying will unite closely behind these opinion leaders like rain, and will never die with these seven people.

This is the key to Vera's immediate recognition that all the media, including the party media, have bad intentions for these seven people:

These party media have experienced countless presidential elections. They know too well how to make a person famous. If they really want to promote the name of the superheroes, they will never use this method.

What's more, if it's just to make Chaoying famous, are they profitable?

"That is to say... is someone within the government going to sanction these seven people?"

Mary finally figured this out, and was even more confused,

"I don't understand... What are they doing this for? If these people with superpowers are really excluded, from the very beginning, wouldn't it be enough to use the media to erase all aspects of their achievements?"

If the government is still vigilant towards Chaoying, wouldn’t it be enough to use the media to directly eliminate the influence of these people and portray them as troublemakers in the war according to the previous method?

To be more vicious, wouldn't it be more straightforward to directly regard them as the culprits who attracted aliens?

Hearing what Mary said, Vera clapped her hands in relief:

"Honey, congratulations! You guessed what the media will report in five days. You are a prophet!"

Mary: "... speak human language!"

How on earth did she put up with Vera Senna, an unscrupulous bastard, for four years without directly strangling her to death? ?

"the reason is simple."

Vera seemed very tired, she leaned loosely on the side of the pillow, a faint ironic smile appeared on her pale and haggard cheeks.

"Because the people behind the scenes are not just people inside the government."

"!?"

Mary was surprised at first, then laughed angrily.

...Aside from the government, is there anyone else who can't afford to offend?

More importantly, you have already guessed this point, and you dare to rush into it with great interest?

"What are you waiting for?"

She said unhappily, "Hurry up and find those seven superheroes, find your dark little princess, and explain the truth to them!"

"..."

Vera froze suddenly.

She mechanically turned her head to look at Mary, with a puzzled expression on her face: "...Why did I go to them?"

???

What the hell?

Mary was shocked: "You don't plan to go to them to explain the truth? Then what are you trying to analyze here?"

Vera: "Help my savior get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Mary's mad face: "So you have to find them! At least you have to get the support of superheroes?!"

Vera: "..."

Vera: "I don't."

Vera Senna, the most talented in the advertising industry, but also the most difficult to get along with... is a lone ranger who absolutely cannot cooperate with others.

But Vera would never allow anyone to get involved in any of her own cases, and even the advertisers could not comment on the schemes she created.

"This is my case!"

However, Vera is plausible and arrogant:

"I don't need Chaoying's help, and they can't help me. It's just a few more people whispering their ideas in my ears. As long as you give me time, I can solve those behind-the-scenes masters alone! "

What kind of dark little princess, what kind of savior, just wait for me to defeat the enemy and make a triumphant return?

After teasing her harshly, Vera drank the syrup medicine in her hand like drinking vodka, then held up the plastic medicine cup, and made a chic gesture of toasting Mary Yaoyao.

"Just wait and see - this public opinion war has just begun!"

Mary: ...

She stared at Vera with the same eyes of watching a bear drink milk from a red wine glass, and said coldly:

"But according to the public opinion model, in another five days, all the media will release the black material of Chaoying. If you don't go to them now, will there be time?"

"In fact, even if I go to them now and explain the situation, it won't stop the media from breaking the news five days later."

Vera was still unhurried, speaking leisurely.

"So, I need you to help me contact several media studios."

"Immediately." Mary immediately took out her mobile phone: "Are you planning to use the media studio to buy the navy and clarify those revelations on the Internet?"

"Do not."

On the hospital bed, Vera showed an unusually shameless smile:

"...I want them to put #governmentusingsuperheroes to cover their own incompetence #top #[-] right now, preferably for a week."
