Du Lin looked a little haggard in the TV screen. His face was not very good and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
What was even more unexpected was that Ophelia was also on the show, sitting on the sofa next to him with her child in her arms.
At half past eight, almost all the families have finished their meal. When the family lies or sits on the sofa and starts watching the program, this is a very special time.
When audiences are most curious and patient about watching movies on that day, they will be very tolerant to all kinds of programs, even if the content of the program is not that excellent, as long as there are one or two factors that they like , is enough for them to watch the show to the end.
"Lawrence Talk Show at 8:30" is a prime program at 8:30 on Channel 1. It has not been on the air for a long time, only a little over a year, but because of the host's hosting style, this program has attracted much attention .
It is said that the host Lawrence has received death threats more than once. This not only failed to make him shut up his foul mouth, but also doubled his influence among the people.
Many people hope to be on Lawrence's talk show. This show attracts a lot of attention. As long as you appear on it, you will be considered a small name.
But more people are hesitant and fearful. Sometimes, being on his show will not only make them famous, but also make them scandalous.
Du Lin's appearance on such a program immediately pushed the ratings to the limit. The TV station staff looked at the ratings that exceeded 40% and continued to increase, feeling that this was no longer the case. Surprised, but frightened.
"Welcome everyone in front of the TV to our special talk show at 8 o'clock. As you can see, we have invited Mr. Dulin, who has attracted the most attention in recent times, to participate in our program. We are also honored to welcome Ao Fei Ms. Liya also appeared at the scene, let us give them applause and encourage them to have the courage to participate in my show!" Lawrence's words made the audience excited, and his little self-deprecation was also the highlight of his show.
Of course, what the audience likes even more is that he often forces the guests participating in the show to remain silent throughout the whole process, or even leave the show angrily. This is the most amazing effect.
One of Dulin's hands was always holding Ophelia's hand. When the camera came over, he nodded slightly, glanced back at his wife and children, pursed his lips, and looked hurt.
Lawrence didn't seem to notice this, and directly asked the question that people were concerned about in sharp words, "Why did you quit the party?"
Unlike other hosts who would chat for a long time, talk about irrelevant nonsense, and then ask a few questions that didn't touch the bottom line of the guests, he always fired directly.
He slightly adjusted his sitting posture, clasped his hands with his fingers, pressed his elbows on the armrests on both sides of the sofa, and leaned forward slightly, "We all know that you are Mr. Magers' designated successor, although many times you or Magers Mr. Si doesn’t admit this, but it is the truth.”
"For us ordinary people, the New Party should be like a business established by your family. Why did you announce that you were quitting the New Party? Is it because you lost to others in the political struggle and had to quit, or is there some other reason? "
He hinted, "For example, there are some rumors circulating recently that someone is framing you, but I think this is not enough to make a young hardliner like you Dulin choose to back down. Something must have happened that we don't know yet. What it is, say it!”
The audience, whether live or in front of the TV, sat upright for a moment. This is the charm of Lawrence's talk show. He not only dares to say it, but if Dulin's answer dissatisfies him, he will also ask questions. , look for the flaw, and then attack it!
Du Lin was silent for about ten seconds. The director of the live broadcast gave him many close-ups, vividly showing his hesitation, hesitation, uneasiness, and anxiety. This also made more people nervous. What on earth had happened? Du Lin has fallen like this
About twenty seconds later, he shook his wife's hand, shook his head and said, "There is no other reason, it's just that I lost, that's it..."
Before he finished speaking, Lawrence interrupted him rudely, "Lie! Mr. Dulin, you lied. Let me remind you that you are deceiving me and deceiving all the viewers in front of the scene and in front of the TV. We We invite you here because we want to talk to you about the truth. We don’t want to listen to the boring lies of politicians!”
Those in the audience who were not too concerned about the excitement stood up and waved their arms. Some even made gestures of contempt and ridicule, booed and occasionally used curse words.
The audience in front of the TV seemed to be infected and booed.
Holmes, who was watching the show, suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. If Dulin really did that..., he couldn't imagine what would happen!
Mags, who was lying in the hospital, was also watching the show. When he saw this, he felt a little uneasy and put it back. Dulin was like a scheming child. No one knew how to play dirty better than him. game.
Holmes is indeed very capable and has some supporters in Woodland and the party, but he mistakenly overestimated Dulin's bottom line and underestimated Dulin's shamelessness, so he was destined to lose this time.
To deal with someone like Du Lin, you must fight with him openly and openly, and don't think about playing tricks and tricks. That is his strength and it is difficult to win against him.
Even Mags himself, looking at the growing Du Lin, felt that he might not necessarily win Du Lin in the battle of intrigues and intrigues. This little slut is not a thing. There is no limit to what he can do. , and dare to play with anything, not afraid of anything happening to yourself, let alone others.
Anyone who still has some limitations and is restrained by the sense of social morality cannot beat him.
Countless people are watching this show. According to the statistics of the TV group, the ratings have exceeded 50%. This show has started less than ten minutes and is still climbing slowly.
At this time, Du Lin's expression at the filming site became a little ugly when faced with Lawrence's unreserved frontal rebuke. He seemed to be confused by the question, just like most people who wanted to gain popularity but ended up becoming victims of the show. politician.
Dulin's silence did not cause Lawrence to shut up. Instead, he pressed further and asked, "Oh my god, Mr. Dulin, who is famous in the empire, is actually willing to be embarrassed at this moment rather than tell the truth. It seems that this is a The terrible truth, was someone killed, or did someone pay a heavy price?"
His half-smiling face was bright red, and the pleasure brought to him by questioning someone with social status and power like Du Lin was beyond his imagination.
Although he knew from the beginning that this was a counterattack, a counterattack plan decided by Dulin himself, and his talk show was just a part of the plan, this did not prevent him from keeping his position unchanged. , add a little more content to yourself.
There was once a psychotic novelist who wrote a novel about a serial killer. It was full of vulgar content, but it had an interesting main line, which was that the targets killed by the serial killer were gaining higher and higher status in society.
The book once used the words "the blood of poor people smells bad" and "for the first time I discovered that the blood of rich people is actually sweet" and "blood soaked in power and money has a milky sweetness." "To describe the murder route and behavior of serial killers, it reflects a distorted but realistic value system - the humbler the person, the more willing they are to see misfortune and pain happen to people with money, power and status!
Lawrence took a deep breath and cast his first vote according to the voting section of the program. Two options suddenly appeared on the TV screen. The first was to ask Dulin to tell the truth, and the second was to continue with the next topic.
The choice of one or the other is also one of the features of Lawrence's talk show. More interactive sessions with the audience will make the audience mistakenly think that they have obtained real authority to embarrass those glamorous politicians and celebrities, and get pleasure from it.
The viewers in front of the TV picked up the remote control one after another - a palm-sized box, with a thumb-thick wire connecting the box and the TV. The first generation of products already had such a design, but the new generation of TVs are still being designed. It's a little more sophisticated, not as stupid as in earlier generations.
You only need to press the green confirmation key or the red return key to vote, and the data from the terminal will be aggregated to a special counter at the local cable TV group.
It does not have more functions. The only function is that whenever an electronic pulse model activates it, it will work once, and the last wheel among the twelve wheels will rotate once.
When the mantissa wheel rotates ten times, the secondary wheel will rotate. This is a very simple counter without any special technology or invention, but it is a patented product.
That's right, the holder of Science Island's patented products is still Du Lin...
The ninety-second voting time was very short, and the staff quickly sent the results. Lawrence looked at Dulin and showed the voting results in his hand, "Dulin, reality, there are now more than 30 million viewers, I hope you can tell what is the result." What really caused you to quit the New Party? What we want is the truth, not lies.”
"You don't have to answer this question, but I believe it will not only disappoint me, but also more viewers!"
This is Lawrence's biggest weapon. Few politicians can face such a choice calmly. In the end, they can only remain silent or leave the whole process.
There was once a politician who started to pretend to be deaf and sign language during the selection process in an attempt to avoid questioning. As a result, Lawrence invited the company's sign language announcer. After watching for a few minutes, the announcer said a bunch of swear words and left. The program has also become one of the annual shows.
Now, the choice came up again, with Doolin, and it wasn't an easy one.
He kept looking back at Ophelia. There were some indescribable changes in the girl's eyes, but these changes eventually turned into determination and encouragement. She grabbed Dulin's hand and nodded.
Du Lin took a deep breath, looked at Lawrence, and said something that no one expected.
"I choose to tell the truth, which may not make people feel exciting or beautiful."
"Everyone has been young once and can understand the impulses of young people. I am not the saint that people say. I have made the same mistakes as many young people."
"Before I met Ophelia and married her, I met another girl, had a brief relationship, and had a child..."
With a loud bang, the entire scene was about to explode into the sky. The audience was red-faced and stood up with excitement and waved their limbs to express their inner shock. The audience in front of the TV also widened their eyes and listened carefully to every word on the TV. , to ensure that you can hear clearly every word of the scandal that happened to celebrities.
Holmes kicked the coffee table over violently, and the things on the coffee table flew to the ground. He stood up with a livid face, grabbed the shelf beside the sofa used for visiting furnishings, and smashed it against the TV.
Mags closed his eyes. He already knew the next plot and he could continue to rest comfortably for a while.
Odega, who had always been full of doubts, smiled and turned off the TV, opened the window to welcome the beautiful sunshine outside.
Everyone showed a different attitude because of this, and the muscles on Lawrence's face began to tremble uncontrollably. He could not imagine what kind of evaluation and achievements he would get if he missed today's show!
Du Lin ignored these people and continued, "That girl and I have a child. I know that I have done something stupid, so I have been compensating her..."
According to the so-called script, Dulin would tell the truth of the matter, but Lawrence suddenly interrupted and asked Ophelia, "Ms. Ophelia, do you know these things, Dulin and Other women have children, and I also want to know if he ever talked about the past or what was happening when you were dating?”
The already extremely excited audience became even more excited. Lawrence's groundless words made them collectively excited. There was nothing more popular than peeling off the glamorous and respectable surface of this powerful man and revealing the rotten and smelly interior.
Ophelia glanced at Du Lin, who looked at Lawrence calmly. She thought for a few seconds, and then nodded without any clear expression, "Every outstanding boy will always face many choices. I I’m very happy that Dulin chose me.”
There is no positive answer, but it is enough to satisfy people's guesses. Is there any substantive answer? Ophelia is very smart.
She may be innocent or cute in Du Lin's eyes, but she is a noble daughter of a large aristocratic family. She has received an aristocratic elite education since she was a child. That kind of cram-feeding experience will make her understand better than ordinary people. When and what to say.
Lawrence felt a little regretful that the girl's answer was so good that he had no chance to develop further. He made a gesture to let Dulin continue.
Dulin chuckled lightly and continued, "Everyone knows that because Mr. Powers is getting older, his health is getting worse than before, and he was unable to return to work in a short period of time due to some accidents."
"We need to make some changes, which also means there are some new opportunities. I, others, including Holmes are all competitors."
"Obviously, I have more advantages, but what is unexpected is that Holmes was forced to kidnap my ex-girlfriend and her and my children to threaten me and force me to quit the New Party."
"He told me that if I didn't do that, he would not only publicize our relationship to the public, but he would also harm the girl, me and her children."
Dulin turned to look at Ophelia, holding her hand tightly, looking a little excited.
The couple communicated through their eyes for a moment, and Du Lin seemed to have calmed down a little. Then he faced the camera and continued, "I'm very sorry for that girl, and even more sorry for that child. I can reject his threat, but I think a person should have a conscience and a bottom line.”
His voice became louder and louder, and his voice seemed to change from weak to full of strength, "I don't want to hate myself for this one day when I get old, and destroy someone who once loved me for the sake of fucking power. The girl, and my life with her children.”
"Perhaps I have spent most of my life selfishly, but at this moment, I chose my conscience. I just want to have the courage to face them one day in the future and tell them that I have no right to ride a horse. Give up your humanity.”
Du Lin stood up, his aura getting stronger and stronger, so much so that Lawrence, who had read the script, lost the ability to speak and think. Like the audience in the audience, he could only stare at Du Lin in stunned silence. Forest.
He walked to the middle, stood under the light, stood where countless eyes were focused, waved his arms, and said deeply but firmly, "Let him succeed, he will be happy that he used such a despicable method to win this victory. , but I believe I am the real winner.”
"All he got was empty power. He will regret it and be sad about it later, but I won myself!"
"Yes, this is the reason why I quit the New Party. I dare to say it here because I have done some things and I accept the punishment of time."
"But I will not regret what I have done or the choices I make now. Each of our lives is unique. We should not be dogmatic and become pathetic puppets controlled by others. We should be colorful. Life."
"Whether we are happy, sad, happy, or sad, this is our choice and our life."
"Some people will regard this as a scandal, and I will not cover it up, because this is my life, my past, and..." He finally showed a real smile for the first time tonight, "This is it. My life, my choices and the responsibilities I have to face.”
After a brief silence, the scene erupted again, and everyone was impressed by Dulin's charisma. These should be fatal scandals for politicians, but in Dulin's case, it actually turned into a... positive one. thing.
Whether it is the gods or God, sometimes it is really unfair. Some people are not only handsome, rich, powerful and status-savvy, but they are also so eloquent!
So unfair! ! !
