Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 99 Oprah Winfrey

It's not necessary to go to Avengers headquarters in person; even a video conference will do. Hawkeye and Thor used a video conference, though Thor joined under Jane Foster's guidance.

"Everyone, here's the situation," Steve Rogers explained. "Natasha suggested I ask for your opinions."

"What good will this interview do?" Saul asked.

Natasha said, "Interviews can help the public understand us better. The public opinion situation is very complicated right now, and attitudes toward us are varied."

"I think Captain America appearing in the media is an opportunity for us."

She was a former agent and spy, so she knows these things very well and her opinions are quite clear.

Stark said, "It doesn't matter, I don't really care what other people think."

Stark does things his own way and doesn't seem to care, but does he really not care?

Link disagrees. Stark's genius is both a strength and a weakness. Of course, he is kind at heart, especially after the kidnapping incident and Ethan's death, which greatly affected him.

Link said, "You can go into the media, find the most influential talk show, and appear in front of the public in a conversational style."

"The captain's deeds are widely known around the world, and many people are curious about him and want to know more about him."

"Of course, the same goes for us Avengers. Natasha can go with him."

Stark said, "Lin, you should actually go."

"Your psychology skills are very useful on this kind of show, and you're the only one from our Avengers who hasn't appeared before."

Link was exasperated. He didn't really want to show his face, but that was the situation; he was the only one among the Avengers who remained a mystery.

This is a bit unfair to others!

Link thought for a moment and said, "That works, but Natasha needs to go too. The three of us would be perfect, and women have an advantage."

"Does anyone have any further comments?"

"What about Thor?" Hawkeye asked. "He's a real alien, should we send him too?"

"That's not quite right," Link said. "Thor doesn't understand the situation on Earth, and his way of thinking is different from ours. He's easily falling into the host's verbal traps."

"Like the captain, he's actually very used to facing the media. You know, he used to tour all over the US."

"Natasha is an agent; she can spot language traps. I have a background in psychology, so I think I should be careful since this is my first time in the media."

"You know, many people are attacking us from our opposite side in order to attract attention. It's not wrong to be careful when we appear in public for the first time."

"Then it's decided." Steve Rogers nodded. "The three of us will go first, and the others can go later."

Once it was finalized, Natasha was put in charge of making the contact. As the Avengers' external liaison, she was responsible for all matters related to this.

Captain America was responsible for liaising with S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why he was trusted by both sides. Of course, it was the easiest thing for S.H.I.E.L.D. to lie to the Avengers.

Black Widow, being a woman, has an advantage: she is in charge of external affairs, and on the one hand, she is not burdened by family, and on the other hand, she has outstanding professional skills.

She contacted the Oprah Winfrey Show, which had been running for over twenty years, but she recently heard it was going to be canceled. However, Natasha believed that Oprah herself was the most capable and that her message was quite positive.

Instead of going on their show, why not come to this one and let them promote it in advance? Maybe that will save the show.

She naturally wouldn't say she liked the show, but Link thought it didn't matter; it didn't matter which show she went on. If there were fewer difficulties, that would be good too.

Sure enough, Oprah was almost incredulous when she received Natasha's call. She then asked detailed questions, including those from the three people who participated in the show.

She knew Captain America, of course, but not Natasha. She knew Link, and she was quite surprised that the newly risen New York elite was also a member of the Avengers, the only one wearing a helmet during the previous battle.

Now the problem is on her side: what exactly should she ask?

So she went to the production team and explained the situation. The production team immediately reported it to the TV station. This episode was going to be a huge hit, and the publicity had to be expanded.

Some suggested collecting questions from the audience and then screening them. Of course, silly questions shouldn't be asked, but with a large number of people, valuable questions will inevitably emerge, which can also serve as a form of publicity.

The TV station then organizes staff to optimize the issue, which allows the topic to generate buzz for a long time.

Oprah took immediate action, starting by promoting the event herself. Of course, the names of the Avengers who attended were not revealed, but kept as a suspenseful element until the day of the live broadcast, as the event could not be pre-recorded.

Recorded broadcasts are much less effective, so live streaming is essential.

……

Despite the overwhelming publicity from the outside world, Link paid no attention to it, nor did he make any preparations; instead, he continued his studies.

Research and development are not difficult for him; what he lacks now is basic knowledge. He needs more basic knowledge and is also collecting different books and papers.

His library now has an enormous collection, all of them science books. Link would have the library prepare a batch of books for him each time, and then send them over so he could take back the ones he had already read.

The matter seemed unreliable, but the people in the library didn't say anything, after all, Link was the boss who gave them the job.

You should know that this library is now located in Hell's Kitchen, a very precious place for some children who want to change their fate.

The security here is excellent; no one dares to cause trouble. It's an absolutely quiet place, perfect for studying.

Finally, it was time for the live broadcast. This time, they set off in their suits. The new suits had been designed and completed. Natasha's suit was still the S.H.I.E.L.D. style, which perfectly accentuated her figure, and she even had a pistol strapped to her right thigh.

Captain America's suit, on the other hand, has become darker, which is the suit in Captain America 2. It uses nanotechnology and is made of titanium alloy.

It has an inner lining, and the nanotech material conforms to the body, so it won't be uncomfortable. Link's suit is still his own, and it also comes with weapons.

The three arrived at the television station building in his Rolls-Royce. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw media reporters and crowds gathered on both sides of the road, some supporting and some opposing. The three ignored them and walked straight into the television station building.

Oprah greeted them, took them by elevator to the studio floor, and then had them wait in the meeting room.
