Chapter 153 Unwilling to Be Bound by One's Own Will
Yu Zhen's provocation hit Webber right where it hurt.
For a foreigner, swearing an oath to God and confessing to Him, no matter the degree of sin committed in reality, as long as they are completely honest and go to church, complete the so-called repentance process, and obtain God's forgiveness—
Then you can start a completely new life from scratch without any inner burden.
However, they must swear an oath in the name of their parents and other close relatives and repent to the world.
That's a different matter altogether.
This is like a beautiful but non-existent emperor's new clothes.
The so-called act of repenting to God and seeking His forgiveness is, in the eyes of people in the Western world, nothing more than a beautiful emperor's new clothes, the truth of which is known to all.
They are very good at fooling unsuspecting Easterners.
They assumed that people in the Western world were all incredibly devout, religious, and possessed a strong sense of humanism and contractual obligation.
In reality, they were just playing a psychological tactic.
Everyone uses this set of deceptive tricks as a last fig leaf for their conscience.
Their true intention is nothing more than wanting both XX and 00, committing acts of robbery and plunder to enrich themselves, while at the same time using God as a pretext to beautifully disguise their actions.
At this moment, Yu Zhen suddenly suggested that the other party should make a solemn oath on the spot in the name of his mother, which would be enough to prove that he had never insulted the millions of viewers or the guests of the program.
Such "conscientious advice" is of no concern to a selfless and truly upright person.
What's wrong with making a solemn oath right here and now?
But this Mr. Webber, who is known as the world's most sarcastic host.
They know their own affairs best. The tricks they've always played, both inside and outside the industry, are simply sensationalist shows that provoke people's privacy and vulnerabilities. To put it bluntly, they've exploited the public's voyeuristic tendencies as the key to consistently high ratings.
This person is inherently biased.
The show, in reality, is so despicable that it's avoided by everyone inside and outside the industry, yet everyone is still greedy for its invincible popularity and ratings.
This is why such a super live talk show was created, which has long held the top spot among similar programs in North America, making it both loved and hated by the industry, and its position is not easily shaken.
But at this moment—
The so-called world's most sarcastic commentator dared not do anything reckless because he knew the show was being broadcast live.
"Hey, let's move on to the next topic!"
The sarcastic Webber chuckled, wanting to skip directly to the topic of swearing in his mother's name.
He believed that with his full preparation, he would eventually expose the stupid and dirty nature of this damned young man from the East. As long as he could still achieve this goal in today's episode, then his episode would not be considered a failure, and this little disturbance would soon be forgotten by the audience.
"Should we move on to the next topic immediately?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Weber, the audience is our bread and butter. We must never, ever leave the audience with the bad impression of disrespecting our bread and butter."
So I suggest you take my advice seriously and quickly make an oath in your mother's name!
Besides, we haven't officially started the live interview yet, so there's still plenty of time.
If you refuse to show the audience enough respect, during the upcoming live interview, unless you simply tape my mouth shut, I will definitely speak out for the honor and disgrace of the vast number of television viewers.
After all, I should be considered a member of the ordinary television audience. Now that I have the opportunity to speak up for ourselves, if I don't, who will be willing to stand up for justice when others maliciously infringe upon our honor and reputation in the future?
Yu Zhen didn't give the other party a chance to skip the topic.
Moreover, he insisted that what was happening now was just a private conversation before the show aired, a private conversation where you were asked to make a small oath to express your remorse for your words and actions within a small circle.
If you're unwilling to do any of that!!
Hey, can you even be considered a healthy living being with a soul?!
The sharp-tongued Webber is going crazy. No other guest on the show has ever been able to manipulate him to such an extent with his words.
"Yu, I heard that you and real estate tycoon Tang Jinmao actually signed a record deal worth one hundred million US dollars. Is that true?"
Why would an Eastern science fiction writer suddenly decide to collaborate with a North American real estate developer, and even jump directly from literary creation to music creation?
Are you really that talented? Could you tell me more about it?
The sharp-tongued Webber simply ignored Yu Zhen's strong appeal and abruptly changed the subject, abruptly starting the formal live interview show.
"Damn it, Mr. Weber, are you deaf or blind? Before the live interview begins, if you don't swear in my presence, in your mother's name, that you have never intended to insult millions of television viewers, and that you have never tried to deliberately make things difficult for the show's guests in order to make the show a hit—"
"I'm sorry, but if you don't give a straight answer—"
"In my opinion, this super live talk show doesn't need to continue at all!!!"
~~"
"Remember this: the audience is the lifeblood of our show. In our Eastern world, there's another saying: 'The customer is king.' Get ready to watch this super live interview show with hundreds of millions of North American viewers—they are our bread and butter, the gods who give us the opportunity to grow and thrive!!"
"You, Mr. Webber, who is known as the world's most acerbic host, must never forget where you came from, and who truly gave you everything you have now!!"
"Therefore, I, a writer from an ancient Eastern empire and a guest on this episode of the Super Live Talk Show, solemnly ask you once again, Mr. Weber, whether you intend to admit your mistake and swear a solemn oath in your mother's name or not?!"
Yu Zhen appeared ready to walk away at any moment.
This guy really stumped the sharp-tongued Webber again, because the live broadcast had already quietly started!
Moreover, this episode's popularity, thanks to the presence of Yu Zhen, an Eastern science fiction writer, has already made it a super-hot topic that the entire United States is vying to follow. The temporary GG sponsorship fee for this episode alone has exceeded the previous peak by 80 million US dollars.
All of this is secured by contracts, requiring that GG merchants be given sufficient space and time to showcase their products during the program.
To put it bluntly, even if the program's production team wanted to shut down the live broadcast, they wouldn't dare do it. Otherwise, they would face astronomical compensation claims from businesses, and the TV station might even go bankrupt.
