Late at night, New York is suffering from today's biggest cold wave. The wind is raging and the ice is biting. It seems that even the air is frozen into ice; Even sitting in the room next to the stove, drinking hot coffee to keep warm, the wind whistling through the window, the creaking shaking of old houses, and the frosty glass, people can't help stamping their feet and feeling their stiff toes again.
Just after eleven o'clock, the whole Manhattan has been quiet, the neon lights on Times Square are still flashing, and the wet ground reflects the outline of the city; But on the streets, there was a bleak silence, no people coming and going, no traffic, the bustle and noise of the city seemed to dissipate in the cold air.
The hustle and bustle of the city gradually precipitated, leaving only the tranquility and ease of thousands of lights. Only one corner is an exception - Madison Square Garden.
Throughout the year, rain or shine, Madison Square Garden is always full of lights and noise, just like a giant waiting for the city. Every night, it wakes up the enthusiasm and passion hidden in the streets. Tonight is no exception. A noisy and vigorous concert is on, and there are many reporters gathered outside the gate.
With the advance of time, the crowd gathered outside the garden not only did not decrease, but also showed a momentum of growth. Everyone was carrying a camera, a recorder, and a briefcase. The strange clothes presented the same vein: reporter style——
Wrinkled shirts, tawny sweaters, windproof and waterproof coats, blazers for lens covers, tape recorders and other tools, sports shoes with complex patterns or light men's casual shoes, and plain dark slacks. Every detail is labeled:
I'm a reporter.
In the past week, the most sensational, hot and controversial news event in the United States is not the latest gossip of the award season, but "one person's concert".
The news media, led by entertainment weekly and the New York Times, are divided into two groups: conspiracy theorists and supporters. The ordinary people and netizens have also made a clear stand. The heated debate has almost taken away the limelight of the award season.
The most important reason is the instant burst. It's only two days before and after. Even from the day when studio 11 issued the announcement, it's only four days; Everything seems to be happening between lightning and flint, and the outbreak of discussions and disputes is too fast to cover our ears. Before we have time to sort out all the details, the concert has already appeared.
Suspense, expect, criticize, question, support, support. All kinds of comments are flying in the sky, and everyone is waiting for a "truth", at least a "trend" - the trend of the subsequent development of things, to see what's going on.
Tonight, the concert opens and the answer is coming. The answer, at least in stages.
In the face of such heavy news, journalists can't easily miss it. Especially during the live broadcast of "Today Show" this morning, audiences all over the United States witnessed the long queue at the gate of Madison Square Garden. It seems that there is no need to worry about the ticket sales of the concert. What about the results? How about attendance? How did the audience react? Is the concert just a gimmick or a sincere performance?
"One person's concert" did not officially invite any media to enter Madison Square Garden for interview, publicity and reporting; But similarly, there are no restrictions on the purchase of tickets for this concert, which is open to all. Anyone can buy a ticket if they want.
However, in the face of a strong cold wave and a ticket team of more than 3000 people in the early morning, the reporters all backed out.
In this regard, reporters complained, and even a large number of people called studio 11 and Andy Rogers one after another to complain, protest, condemn, and even threaten, "if we don't open the media interview pass, then don't blame us for reporting carelessly."
They are sensationalist, mystifying and guilty; It is precisely because there is a ghost in my heart that I have deliberately closed the media interview pass. It is precisely because of malicious speculation that I have a tit for tat confrontation with media reporters.
The same news events, just a little change of perspective, reporters can easily make the parties miserable. No crown king, even in the 21st century network age, they still have the pen to dominate public opinion!
However, eleven studio still did not let go, put forward a "obedient" arrogant attitude, but also let reporters at a loss. Because it's a concert that can hold 20000 people. It's so popular that they can't unify the caliber at all.
Only a small number of reporters actively and energetically joined the queue and honestly completed the ticket purchase. They not only entered the venue to watch the concert, but also got the opportunity of close interview for the first time.
As for other reporters, they arranged Eyeliner on the garden site. When the concert came to an end, they received the phone call, and then they left the warm room.
In less than 20 minutes, hundreds of reporters appeared near the deserted garden, waiting for the exit of the concert. Moreover, the number of reporters coming from all directions continued to increase, and the lively scene was quite incredible, especially in the cold winter night of February.
However, what is even more incredible than the present grand occasion is the reporters themselves. Almost everyone was stunned and looked at each other in disbelief and asked, "what? Is there a full seat? "“ house full? Are you kidding? "“ What's full, no vacancy? "
Even after the on-the-spot interview of the "Today Show" and even witnessing the turbulent and boiling queue, there is still a big difference between 3000 people and 20000 people. Few believe that an enthusiastic audience can crowd Madison Square Garden. This is an impossible task, even more incredible than climbing to heaven.
Even now, some have witnessed it, some have experienced it, and some have passed it on from mouth to mouth. Many journalists still refuse to believe such ridiculous "hearsay".
Cornell McGregor even sniffed, "it's logical and rational to make up a story. It's ridiculous. We're not stupid. How can it be. Why don't you just say that after the tickets are sold, there are still fans at the door holding temporary signs to try to ask for tickets, ha ha. "
"Yes, indeed. Thirty minutes after the concert, there are still three or four hundred fans wandering around the garden gate and refusing to leave. "
"Right, right. Later, lanli heard about it. Considering the bad weather in New York today, he arranged for more than 20 security personnel to let these fans enter for free, but they had no seats and could only stand to watch the concert."
"That's right. I saw a few reporters follow me. If I didn't have to wait here, I'd go in, too. "
……
In the hustle and bustle, Cornell tried to open his mouth to reply and refute, but the exclamations in all directions did not leave him any room to intervene at all. The unintentional words were like a slap in the face, hot and painful, and the sense of shame ran from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head like a flame, I clenched my hands before I realized it.
However, no one paid attention.
"Madison Square Garden is full tonight." just this one piece of news is enough to make a sensation in North America. First, the box office success of "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me", and then "one person's concert" filled Madison Square Garden in four days, especially the latter, which was enough to go down in history, and really made people feel the popularity and popularity of Langley.
For the general public, "speed and passion 5" may be all their impressions of the actor who devoted himself to acting in the art independent film, which is neither broad nor deep; But for the senior professional audience, this young man who has realized his dream step by step is an artist. His performance and his music truly and vividly interpret the creative taste and artistic persistence, and really move the hearts of every fan.
In particular, "Don Quixote" this album, a comprehensive and profound singing of the voice of blue. After listening to the album, looking back and watching those tracks: "after the Pacific War", he rejected "Thor" and chose "buried alive"; On top of triliureid, he agreed to play "crazy love" for $20000“ After the great success of "speed and passion 5", he turned to "detached" shooting.
Everything, gradually become clear. From stars to actors to artists, this is an amazing and admirable vein.
So the audience who really understood, understood and understood Don Quixote gathered together.
Not many, but strong; Rare but profound; Unique but sincere.
The 20000 seats in Madison Square Garden on the whole North American continent and in the whole new york city are too few for them. It's just 20000 yuan, far less than the uproar in the Yahoo community. It's just a call order issued within two days. It's just a concert on Thursday's working day. In addition, not to mention a garden concert, three days in a row, the venue full, it is still not difficult.
The onlookers see clearly.
People have never really realized that the name "Langley hall" already has appeal. Until tonight.
It's not just Cornell, but every reporter is digesting the latest news and its derivative significance
Does this mean that lanli has more appeal at the box office? Does this mean that lenley's influence on major film companies has increased? Does this mean that the focus of blue Lee in the award season is soaring? Does this mean that Langley has got rid of the new identity and has the potential to become a superstar?
Does that mean
The garden's exit door was opened before the thought could be fully unfolded. The concert, it's over.
