At this moment, on the main roadside only about one kilometer away from the fire scene, Lu Di, a news reporter from China Shipping TV, was angrily saying to the owner of a barbecue stall on the roadside: "Old Wang, you are playing tricks on me at night. ? It’s such a trivial matter, and you’re trying to trick me into telling me big news, what a liar?”
The owner of the barbecue stall, who was in his thirties, was grilling a large number of mutton skewers while looking at the beautiful but angry female reporter in front of him. He said with a smile: "Xiao Di, a livestock truck hits someone and escapes. Isn't this right?" Big news?”
Lu Di said angrily: "It's just a scratch, not even blood. When I saw the camera, I said I wouldn't pursue it. Such material can't be broadcast at all. You still tell me it's big news?"
The owner of the barbecue stall chuckled and said, "Don't be angry. At worst, I won't charge for this news. If there is any big news in the future, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
As he said that, the boss handed over a handful of mutton skewers and said with a smile: "Come on, big reporter, eat some mutton skewers!"
"Don't eat! I'm going to lose weight!" Lu Di puffed up his cheeks and stamped his feet. Then he hesitated for a moment, counted three iron sticks from his hand, and said, "I will only eat three sticks. This is what you asked me to do! I won't Pay the money!"
The owner of the barbecue stall said cheerfully: "What do you want to pay? As long as you, Reporter Lu, say a word, I will treat you to thirty skewers or three hundred skewers."
Lu Di curled his lips, put the mutton skewers to his mouth, took a bite, chewed twice, and sighed: "Old Wang, your skewer skills are really good!"
"Of course." The boss raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Authentic live sheep are being slaughtered right now. If you eat one skewer and think about eight skewers, I'll give you some more!"
"Enough is enough!" Lu Di said: "I usually don't eat at night to control my weight. Today is an exception."
The boss said hurriedly: "You said you reporters are really hard-working. You have to go out to run news in the middle of the night."
Lu Di glared and said, "Old Wang, don't be angry with me. If it weren't for you, I would be home now."
The boss smiled apologetically and asked, "What news did you cover tonight?"
While eating skewers, Lu Di said: "A bicycle thief escaped, a lost child was taken in by the police station, and there was a pothole on the road that accumulated water, causing injuries to pedestrians riding bicycles."
The boss smacked his lips: "This is pretty much the same as the news I provided!"
Lu Di said: "At least these can be included in the news and make up for a period of time. You, you are not even qualified to be a scrap."
After saying that, Lu Di had already finished three skewers. He looked at the large number of skewers in the boss's hand, smacked his lips and said, "I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back and rest. Remember to tell me the next time you have news." Call up."
"Okay." The boss handed over another handful of skewers and said, "How about eating it on the road? Get some for your cameraman."
"No, no," Lu Di said, "He doesn't like others eating in his car, not even himself."
After saying that, Lu Di took out twenty yuan from his pocket, put it next to the stove, and said, "Next time you try to fool me with trivial things, I really won't give you a penny!"
The boss picked up the money and hurriedly returned it to her. Lu Di had already hurried to a Poussin car parked on the roadside with the China Shipping TV logo spray-painted on it.
As soon as he got in the car, Lu Di saw his boss running over with money, and hurriedly said to the middle-aged man in charge of driving: "Brother Zhang, leave quickly."
"Okay." The driver nodded and drove away from the intersection.
After the car had driven a few hundred meters, the driver said: "Xiao Lu, how much money are you going to give him for such a small piece of news? This material won't be adopted by then, and the boss won't reimburse him for this money."
Those who work as frontline reporters will more or less develop their own news informants, so that if there is any emergency somewhere, the informants will notify them as soon as possible. In this way, they will have the opportunity to get first-hand exclusive news.
In return, reporters will pay informants a hard-earned fee based on the size of the story, its timeliness, and its expected impact.
Lu Di had just entered Taiwan not long ago, and he was not a local, so the informant work was not very smooth.
Lao Wang, the owner of a roadside barbecue stall, was the "offline" she shamelessly developed when she had barbecue here.
Just now was the first news in Lao Wang's newspaper. She ran over and took a look. It turned out to be an animal-drawn cart delivering food at the intersection. It bumped into a pedestrian. It was such a big deal that the pedestrian was not prepared to pursue the matter.
Lao Wang grabbed him hard and said that he knew someone who could help him seek justice. The other party said that it was not easy for him to drive a car and there was no need to seek justice. However, Lao Wang gave him a handful of mutton skewers and said, "Sit here." Just treat me as a treat to you.
If it weren't for Lao Wang's skill at skewering, he would have really gotten up and left.
When he thought that Lao Wang had used his own IC card to call him and order some skewers, Lu Di felt a little bit guilty, so he paid him 20 yuan out of his own pocket.
The driver, Lao Zhang, knew that the money would definitely not be reimbursed, and felt that Lu Di was a bit stupid.
However, he was not prepared to share the cost with Lu Di. After all, he was only a part-time driver for the photographer. Although the two usually worked as a duo, Lao Zhang drove the car and carried the camera, and Lu Di took the microphone to appear on camera. However, Lao Zhang did not follow. Performance-related, after all, he can only be regarded as a support.
Finding news, chasing news, and acting on the spot are basically Lu Di's responsibilities. If he catches big news, it is also Lu Di's performance. Therefore, the cost of chasing news is also borne by Lu Di himself.
A few minutes after the car drove out, Lu Di's cell phone suddenly rang.
When I looked at the caller ID, it was the same landline that Lao Wang called just now.
So she answered the phone and asked, "Old Wang, what's the matter?"
Lao Wang's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, saying: "Xiao Lu, come quickly, there is big news! There is really big news!"
Lu Di sighed silently and asked, "What's the big news, my brother!"
"Fire! It's in the alley near me. It's a big fire!"
As soon as he heard about the fire, Lu Di's nerves immediately became tense.
Although she doesn't have much work experience, she still understands the priority of fire in the station.
In the past two years, the country has been focusing on promoting fire safety awareness. At least half of the public service announcements on TV stations are about fire safety.
There is a public service advertisement specifically reminding citizens to take preventive measures before they happen. In the advertisement, a man smokes and throws it around, but ends up throwing it on the quilt and causing a fire;
Citizens are also reminded not to block fire escapes. The advertisement shows a fire in a residential building, and residents were blocked by debris accumulated in the fire escapes when they were evacuating;
There is even a public service advertisement specifically for citizens to learn about 119 firefighting without charging any fees. In the advertisement, a factory caught fire. The boss called 119 for help, and then asked: "How much does a fire truck cost? Can you save it?" How many cars?”
If TV stations air ten public service announcements every day, at least five of them will be like this.
Precisely because of the subjective awareness of cultivating the public's fire prevention, TV stations are very enthusiastic about reporting on fires.
In the news department of China Overseas Satellite TV, there is an internal rule that all fire news that causes minor injuries or above must be broadcast; fire news that causes losses of more than 5,000 yuan must be broadcast.
Therefore, basically, as long as the word "fire" is mentioned, it is not a small news in China Shipping TV.
When Lu Di heard about the fire, his heart was mixed with fire and water. He was happy to catch the big news, but also worried about the fire itself.
The professionalism still allowed her to abandon all personal subjectivity in a few seconds and asked Lao Wang: "Which alley is it specifically?"
"In the light!" Lao Wang blurted out: "I heard from a customer. He said that when he came out of the light, he saw a burning building as he passed by! Oh, by the way, he said that building was still a dark hotel!"
"Oh my god!" Lu Di's head buzzed.
A building was burning, and it was still a dark hotel. Lu Di instinctively realized that this was probably a major fire, so he hurriedly said to the driver Lao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, there is a fire in the light, turn around quickly!"
The car had just driven out for three or four minutes. When Lao Zhang heard this, he immediately turned around and stepped on the accelerator. Two minutes later, the car had already rushed to the entrance of Guangmingli.
Since the buildings along the main roads on both sides of Guangmingli were relatively tall, the shanty towns inside were basically invisible from the outside, so Lu Di hurriedly urged Lao Wang to drive inside.
When they drove more than a hundred meters, Lu Di could already see the light of fire reflected in the sky on the right side not far away.
She hurriedly asked Lao Zhang to speed up and drove the car to the side of the burning alley.
Lu Di looked around and said eagerly: "I didn't see the fire truck. It probably hasn't arrived yet. Lao Zhang, I'll go in with the camera first. You park the car outside and then come in to find me. Don't let the car get in or out." The road, otherwise we will be in trouble if the fire truck cannot come in!"
Lao Zhang nodded and said, "The camera is heavy, be careful!"
"good!"
Lu Di hurriedly got out of the car, took out the camera and connected microphone from the trunk, and held it in his hand with some difficulty. He instinctively turned on the phone first, and then ran into the burning alley with the camera.
In the yard, there were many young people carrying various fire extinguishers.
The fire pouring out of the second floor window was very strong, which showed that the fire situation inside the second floor was very urgent.
She struggled to carry the camera and film the thrilling fire scene in front of her.
Now, the whole building has a certain chimney effect, and the fire downstairs is burning upward...
At this time, she noticed Xu Yiyang, Zhang Junnan and other strangers in the yard who were setting up ladders and spraying fire extinguishers in front of two burning windows.
So, she immediately turned her camera on these young people.
Due to limited space, a total of four people were using ladders to spray fire extinguishers inside to suppress the billowing flames spurting out of the two windows.
Among them is Xu Yiyang.
I'm really confused, I don't understand why Chapter 251 is blocked...
