American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Page 659

Entering the newspaper's newsroom, Xu Fu took off his hat, took a long breath, and then went back inside.

"I came in right after I got off the train."

His gaze lingered on Xu Fu's tired face for a moment. Old John shook the bronze glasses hanging on his nose and suggested, "In that case, why don't you rest for another day? It's not a big deal to stay up all night anyway."

"No, for journalism, time is efficiency."

Xu Fu shook his head, rejecting Old John's suggestion, and looked at the crowd in the newspaper, "Release them immediately, 8:45 PM, OndLimited (Land Express) Prisoner Train Robbery Case!"

"Robbing a criminal on a train?"

Upon hearing Xu Fu mention eucalyptus trees, Old John looked at Xu Fu standing in front of him with a puzzled expression before quickly reacting.

The Overland Premium Express was the train Xu Fu was traveling on, so the "prisoner who robbed the train" he mentioned was obviously...

With no time to think further, old John turned to the typewriter, peeled away the nearly completed pages, and started a new title page.

...

"Extra, extra!"

"The Daily Courier exclusively reports on the eucalyptus tree used to rob prisoners on a train!"

The next day, early in the morning.

Pressmen waved their newspapers and ran through the streets and squares.

"Is a train robbing prisoners?"

Due to the limitations of the time, the timing of the prison break that occurred on the Orlando Express was not released initially.

Therefore, Xu Fu, as the first witness in the entire eucalyptus case, is the initial source of this story.

That day, the whole of New York was buzzing with news of the "train robbery," not only because of the robbers' brutality, but also because of the ominous ending of the entire Eucalyptus case.

The public is divided on the outcome of the "prisoner train robbery."

Part of my opinion is that this was a deliberate act of sabotage, and that these self-proclaimed thieves intended to kill Nash from the outset.

Some believe it was just a mistake, and that Nash clearly died in an accident.

Of course, regardless of the outcome, overall, this is an extremely suffocating result for Nash, the one who could be redeemed.

In particular, Xu Fu's report had highlighted Nash's screams before his death and the robbers' words of regret after seeing his body. As a result, more people still mistook the eucalyptus tree incident for an accident, which made the entire brutal gunfight even more dramatic.

It is worth noting that what was heard on the train was later confirmed by Xu Fu.

One of the robbers involved in the “Prisoner Train Robbery” was identified as Charles Arthur Floyd, later known as “Handsome.”

He later became a notorious bank robber, even crossing paths with fellow robbers Bonnie and Clyde.

Rumors circulated that Floyd-Yind had dismissed Bonnie and Clyde's betrayal, mocking them as "little brats who stole money from the grocery store."

To put it simply, occupational discrimination is widespread no matter what industry you work in.

Even thieves are not immune to this.

...

Of course, in addition to the front-page article about the "prisoner train robbery" involving eucalyptus trees, the Daily Messenger also continued its tradition of serializing comics.

Attached to this dramatic eucalyptus tree is a short story about Superman that keeps up with current events.

This story is based on Xu Fu's true experiences and tells the story of Clark taking the train home from get off work.

The same robbery took place on a train.

These ruthless robbers planned to plant a bomb on the train, threatening all passengers to hand over their valuables or they would detonate the bomb and destroy the train.

Clark, who was also on the train, overheard everything. To protect the safety of the passengers and prevent his interview from being affected, Clark transformed into Superman, instantly spotting the bomb the robbers had hidden on the train and throwing it into the air, destroying it right in front of the robbers.

.. . ...

Meanwhile, the robbers were easily subdued, allowing the passengers on the train to be rescued and the interview to continue.

In the animated film, Xu Fu even conveyed Nash's dying words through one of the robbers: "Be careful, don't kill me too!" Nash's lament was very prominent.

Indirectly, he flirted with the eucalyptus tree featured on the front page of the newspaper.

...

The Courier-Journal's coverage of the "prisoner robbery on the train" immediately brought the entire Eucalyptus case to the forefront of national attention.

That evening, CBS Television invited Xu Fu to appear on camera to provide a detailed report on the entire eucalyptus case.

"...So, Mr. Xu Fu, do you think this is a conspiracy?"

During the broadcast, a reporter asked Xu Fu a question.

"Many people believe that the train hijacking was a deliberate act of interference, but as someone who experienced it all, what's your opinion?"

"First of all, I don't think this is silence."

In the CBS studio, Xu Fu turned to look at the reporter standing in front of him.

"Why are you so sure?"

Of course, it's because of something I heard.

Although Xu Fu overheard Freud's conversation on the train, it was clearly inappropriate to discuss it on the radio.

Chapter 779 Thank you for your assistance

Therefore, after a moment's thought, Xu Fu decided to give several reasons that he thought were acceptable.

"On the train, the hijackers first pointed their machine guns at the police officers surrounding Nash, not Nash himself. That's why Nash warned them not to shoot him. Later, perhaps because the situation became chaotic, or simply because some of the hijackers went too far, they fired several shots at the police. As a result, Nash, who should have been the one being rescued, also died quickly under their guns..."

“If what you’re saying is true, Mr. Xu Fu, this could be one of the dumbest train robberies of the Eucalyptus era.”

"Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Xu Fu."

After completing their broadcast of the "213" eucalyptus news story in the CBS radio studio, the reporter in charge quickly expressed his gratitude to Xu Fu.

The entire “prisoner robbery on the train” in New York was exclusively reported by the Daily Courier.

Without Xu Fu's permission, CBS would likely not have been able to broadcast this story.

"It's okay, I'm just doing the same thing as a journalist, conveying the facts to the public."

After exchanging a few words with a reporter covering news for CBS, Xu Fu learned that CBS is now working to create its own broadcast news organization to challenge the newspaper industry.

"Mr. Xu Fu, it's been a long time."

As Xu Fu left the studio, he was received by William Paley, the head of CBS, who was outside.

Although ostensibly for news reporting, Xu Fu and CBS knew that his purpose for this trip could not possibly be as simple as just appearing on the news.

CBS and The Courier have had a great recent collaboration.

The Superman radio series generated so much advertising revenue and a large CBS audience that plans for Superman were put on the agenda by CBS, and William Paley listened to the audience's opinions.

“It’s been a long time.”

Xu Fu nodded, not too surprised by William Paley's appearance.

In fact, he saw another side of it in the recording studio.

"They said you went to San Francisco?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the San Francisco line, I probably wouldn't have encountered the incident of robbing criminals on the train."

Outside the studio, the two exchanged a few polite words in a sincere manner.

Xu Fu then immediately steered the conversation in another direction, leading it to his own experiences living in San Francisco.

"I'd like to know if Mr. Paley has ever heard of electronic television?"

"Electronic products, televisions?"

After frowning for a moment, William Paley shook his head and said to Xu Fu, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Fu, I don't know much about this industry, although I do know about television."

"Electronic television is a new type of television based on electronic devices capturing images, rather than existing traditional mechanical scanning devices."

When briefly introducing the prospects of electronic television to William Paley, Xu Fu also revealed his own "optimistic" attitude towards the invention.

William Paley clearly sensed Xu Fu's attitude toward invention in this respect.

"Mr. Xu Fu seems to value the prospects of this invention very much."

"of course."

Nodding without hesitation, Xu Fu replied in a firm tone: "In fact, I believe that the television market is very likely to replace newspapers and even radio in the future and become the most popular form of entertainment."

Xu Fu's tone was somewhat exaggerated, but William Paley did not deny it.

In fact, CBS also had similar plans. As early as the middle of last year, CBS began to try to establish a w2xab television station in New York for a trial broadcast, but at that time CBS's television broadcasting was still a traditional mechanical scanning television, which was not ideal in terms of image quality.

Even so, CBS has never given up its ambitions in broadcasting, and according to information obtained by William Paley, the station plans to officially take over the television business by the end of next year.

"I didn't know, CBS isn't interested in this either?"

Xu Fu looked at William Paley standing in front of him and asked in a deliberately casual tone.

"What do you mean, Mr. Xu Fu?"
