Chapter 708: Interview Switched to a Live Broadcast
Luke knew about The Colin Show because he would watch it occasionally to adjust his mood.
At that moment, the studio was busy.
Colin was talking to the guest in a low voice, making final preparations for the live broadcast.
Suddenly, the door to the studio was pushed open.
At first, nobody noticed.
But as the black giant moved forward, the staff cried out one after another, and everybody turned to look. They couldn’t help but exclaim, “Batman?”
Luke said, “I’m going to use this studio to broadcast some news. Who’s in favor and who’s not?”
Nobody said anything.
It wasn’t that nobody was opposed, but those who wanted to object didn’t know what to say or didn’t have the guts to speak up.
The eyes of the producer and director of the show, as well as the host, Colin, lit up. “Sure, I’ve been meaning to interview you for a long time. Batman, I’m a huge fan.”
Luke tilted his head and looked at the Batman graphic on his T-shirt, and his lips twitched. A hulking fan like you should stay as far away as possible!
He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there always were big hulking men who screamed about wanting to have children with so-and-so idol.
But Colin wasn’t actually like that. He was a true fan.
“Thank you for your cooperation.” Even as Luke thanked them, he threw a rope dart behind him to wrap tightly around the door handle of the studio entrance.
Nobody was scared by the move. Conversely, it excited many people.
What was Batman’s specialty?
Firstly, he could fly.
Secondly, he was very skilled with rope darts.
The way Luke sealed off the door proved that he wasn’t a fake cosplay fanatic.
But a moment later, Colin cried out, “What? I’m not interviewing you?”
The people who were bustling around paused.
Being the first person to interview Batman was definitely explosive news, and it was worth breaking some rules for.
But if Colin wasn’t interviewing Batman, it would be a big problem.
Unless there were immense benefits to be had, everything had to be done according to the rules.
Batman as a guest on the show could suppress the rules and regulations; it would be hard if it was anyone else.
Looking at Colin’s face, Luke smiled and said, “I’ll give you five minutes to interview me after the end of the broadcast. However, this interview can’t be put together with Professor Lawrence Hayes’s live broadcast, and you can’t hint that I have any connection to it. Deal?”
“Deal.” Colin immediately agreed.
He didn’t care about the professor; he only cared about Batman.
If Batman hadn’t mentioned it, Colin wouldn’t have put them together, since this professor didn’t have any selling points at all.
The interview with Batman had to be done and advertised solo; only then would it sell for a pretty penny. How could Batman be put together with a plain-looking fatty?
Five minutes later, the live broadcast began.
Just thirty seconds into Professor Lawrence’s live broadcast, Colin wanted to bang his head against the wall.
He was wrong!
This fat professor wasn’t some mediocre fellow. The man had brought with him a shocking hot potato — there was going to be an earthquake in California.
This hot potato might cost him his job, and he was actually broadcasting it!
It was no wonder that when Colin had asked what he was supposed to discuss with the fatty, Batman only said that he just needed to go with the flow.
Thinking of what might happen to him after tonight, Colin had already gone crazy.
But he still had a trump card — Batman.
As long as Batman agreed to an interview, he was confident he could survive anything.
The live broadcast with Lawrence Hayes was soon finished, and everybody in the broadcast room broke out in a cold sweat.
Not only were they worried about their jobs, they were also worried about the upcoming earthquake.
Luke raised his hand to look at the image transmitted by the drone, only to see that security guards were already on their way.
Luke reminded him, “Alright, Colin, you only have five minutes.”
A chill ran down Colin’s spine. He turned on his earpiece and shouted at the crew members in the studio, “Focus! We have to finish this in one go!”
There was already knocking on the door. The TV station had discovered that something was wrong with the live broadcast and had sent someone to check it out.
Colin knew that it would only take a few minutes for the knocking to become pounding.
If he didn’t finish the interview with Batman before then, he would lose his biggest bargaining chip, and his crew in the studio would also suffer.
Losing their jobs at that time would be a light punishment; they might all be sued.
Everybody in the studio understood this and spared no effort to get the job done.
In less than thirty seconds, Colin signaled that they could start.
Luke, on the other hand, looked at the guest who had been standing silently in one corner.
He bowed slightly and said, “Nice to see you again, Miss Sheerah. It’s my honor to be interviewed by you.”
Collun blanked out for a moment, then immediately understood. He quickly gestured to the staff. “Record it, record everything! Just this sentence is explosive news.”
Sheerah felt strange, but she still walked out of the corner.
She walked onto the stage and sat on the couch at the black giant’s signal. “No, I should be the one to thank you. You saved me during the earthquake a few days ago, Batman!”
Everybody looked like they had expected it.
As paparazzi, they were professionals.
Everybody knew that the first night Batman appeared, he had rescued Sheerah and Jennifer Perry from a falling elevator.
It was also for this reason that Sheerah, who was past her prime, had been invited to The Colin Show.
Everybody wanted to know how Sheerah, the singer whom Batman had saved, would describe this superhero.
Now, Batman was on the same stage as Sheerah. It was perfect!
Colin roared in his heart, I’m a genius! I’m too smart! I knew Sheerah would be worth it!
Thanks to his extraordinary professionalism, however, he looked as calm as ever. He quickly skipped the preamble and shifted the topic from Sheerah to Batman.
After all, it was Batman who had saved her!
What Colin needed now was an interview with Batman. They could film with Sheerah alone later, and editing the shots together later would have an even better effect.
That was Colin’s excellence as a top news maker.
In a short ten to twenty minutes, he calculated the gains that Batman could bring, which could be increased multiple times.
And his thoughts extended even beyond that.
He was no longer worried about being reproached by the TV station.
That was because he and his men would personally experience Batman’s “help.”
After the earthquake, the story of Batman along with this broadcast, plus the story of how the upstanding and altruistic news crew here selflessly helped Batman out, could be turned into yet another special topic.
