Sitting in the taxi, Robin Heizer straightened his waist and looked at the vast expanse of cars in front of him. There was no end to the spacious and straight street. He glanced down at the watch on his wrist. It was twenty minutes before seven o'clock, which made Robin frown slightly. "Jesus Christ, I have gone out an hour earlier, What's going on? "
"This is New York." The taxi driver raised his eyes, cast a shallow smile through the rearview mirror, and spread his hands to express his helplessness.
Robin pulled at his shirt button. "I know. But it's not seven o'clock yet. What's going on? Even on Monday, it's not so crowded. "
As a typical new Yorker, Robin spent his childhood in the upper east side and his youth in the lower city. After having children, he moved to long island. In his 45 years of life, he knew all aspects of the city. Today is Wednesday, in order to avoid the morning rush, Robin left home early, but the result is still stuck in the Fifth Avenue.
The taxi driver shrugged. "I've suggested that if we go around 12th Avenue and turn back, we'll be much faster. But... "But the passenger refused, so he had no choice.
"I thought Fifth Avenue didn't get crowded until after seven. God Robin was so anxious that he had to unbutton a shirt and catch his breath.
He raised his chin again and looked at the past. Robin was thinking that there were still four streets left. Did he get off the bus and walk there faster; But four blocks away, arriving at the destination, he is about to sweat, which is absolutely fatal for today's important meeting.
At this time, outside the window, a girl's figure quickly ran past, dressed in a big red dress, flying in the wind, leaving a dazzling brilliance. The soft long hair floating with the wind outlined the wanton and madness of youth. Robin couldn't help thinking of his son.
Seventeen is the age of youth.
"Come on, come on, we're going to be late, ha ha." The girl turned around and yelled cheerfully, greeting her little friend. Then a group of young people rushed after her, still shouting, "didn't you say nine o'clock? So what's the rush for? "“ Today I can see the young master again, oh yeah
"Is there any special event on Times Square today?" Robin's eyes still stayed on the group of young people and asked in a voice.
"Not Times Square, Rockefeller square." The taxi driver said, "today's show." the studio is there. There is a live performance today. The guest is Randy hall. Do you know him? The one who won the Oscar this year didn't have a movie on last week. I heard it was very good. I'm going to have a rest tomorrow night and go to the cinema. "
Robin's doubts were not answered, but even more confused? Isn't there a recording every day? What big stars have not been seen here, but are they so lively? "
"Ha, don't you know that? Now these young people are crazy. Last night someone put up a tent in Rockefeller square The taxi driver exclaimed, "even NBC itself was scared. It set up protective measures overnight and sent a security team to maintain the order of the scene. The morning radio news said that it is estimated that at least 10000 people will arrive at the scene today, but it seems that the number exceeds the expectation."
Robin's brow was frowning, and he began to get upset because of the delay in business, but he could not restrain his curiosity and continued to ask, "ten thousand people? Do you know why? "

NBC's morning news program, "today's show", is the most trumped morning program in North America. It has been the champion of the morning program for 30 years. In the peak period, the number of viewers can even exceed 10 million, which is incredible for the morning program. It is almost equivalent to dominating the whole market.
In the early 1990s, ABC's morning news program "Good Morning America" achieved anti super, and once suppressed "Today Show", but it didn't last long. Soon after, NBC regained the throne again, and since 1995, it has been maintained until now, which can be called the absolute king of the morning schedule.
The "Ellen show" that lenley once played in is also a morning show, but the ratings and number of viewers can't compare with the "Today Show".
This news program has created countless records. For example, they set up the fish tank Live Room in Rockefeller square, allowing everyone passing by to watch the live news, and even appearing on the live screen to greet the audience; For another example, they created a number of different sectors, such as politics, society, entertainment, sports, finance and so on, to spend morning time with audiences in different fields.
Today's show has developed into a four hour live show, covering the entire morning viewing time.
From time to time, the program will invite guests to attend the program, including the live performance of singing guests, which has also become a part of the crazy pursuit of countless audiences. Each time, it can attract a large number of audiences to go to Rockefeller square to enjoy the performance.
By the way, Good Morning America, the biggest competitor of today's show, has its studio in Times Square, just a few blocks apart. Therefore, it is not uncommon for times square and Rockefeller square to have performing guests at the same time, which can always create a huge crowd heat wave in Manhattan.
However, the city has the world's largest, most lively and craziest countdown to the new year, and everything happens on Times Square. Therefore, people have long been accustomed to the positive competition between the two programs.
Another working day and another live broadcast day, Rockefeller square once again ushered in a surge of people. However, today's crowd seems to be far beyond expectations, and it is still pouring in. The crowd is dense enough to make intensive phobia patients faint on the spot.
Rockefeller square is only a box shaped square with a concave center. The small square in the center will be transformed into an ice rink every winter, becoming another choice for family travel. All around are restaurants and underground shopping malls; The stairs in the four corners can reach the ground floor and enter the surrounding office buildings. The spacious street is enough to accommodate two motor vehicles in parallel.
At this time, a red stage is set up on the right side of the square which is just sunken in the center, close to the fish tank studio of "Today Show". On the wide stage, there are huge posters of "tomorrow's edge", as well as the humanoid Kanban of all the characters in the film, including members of team J. two groups of sofas for interviews are placed in the center, There is also a live band of many instruments.
Taking the stage as the center, the crowd spreads without any gap, covering the whole square without any gap; In the twinkling of an eye, the square in the center was already full; Then the crowd along the stairs, the mighty began to extend towards the ground floor, the continuous influx of people is gradually filling the spacious ground street.
Judging from the current momentum, it is still far from the end.
Lauren meissler stood in the turbulent crowd, unable to move forward, unable to retreat, unable to move at all, turned his head, and then saw the stunned expression of his friends, Lauren laughed happily, "see, I told you, today's scene is absolutely jammed, three hours ahead of time, simply can't squeeze in."
Lauren, the movie fan who was injured at the premiere of "anti cancer me" last year, finally graduated from high school this summer and is about to go to New York University, the dream of New York. Because, blue Li lives in this city, as if even the air is different.
On the occasion of the premiere of "tomorrow's edge", Warner Bros. issued an official response on the limited peripheral issues. They said that all the answers will be revealed on the stage of "today's show" on June 13. At that time, blue Lee will appear on the scene as a guest of the show. Today is June 13th.
As a result of the frenzy caused by the limited number of students around, and because of the early revelation of the itinerary, this issue of "today's show" has attracted countless attention on the Internet. Young college students have said that they will surely come to Rockefeller square on the day of the live broadcast.
Originally, people took it for granted that the live broadcast of "today's show" could gather 5000 viewers, which is already unthinkable; But obviously, people forget that this is Langley hall.
NBC officially announced the time for the guests to appear, which should be around 10:30. But now there is still some time before 7 o'clock, the whole square is almost crowded. Lauren and the boys didn't get into infield at all.
Tessa briden pursed sullenly. "Don't they sleep? I thought no one paid attention to the live broadcast of today's show! That's true
Hope, William and Graham were all in Los Angeles for the premiere of tomorrow's edge, but then they had to deal with the final exam, so they couldn't fly to New York. So, Tessa and Lauren meet, leading the small partners to attend.
Looking at Tessa's complaint, Lauren chuckled, "it's a good thing that the young master's support is increasing; What's more, we have a good position here, not far from the stage. "
Lauren, Tessa and others are now standing on the stairs, near the stage side of the stairs, there is no way to continue, and it is impossible to turn up, so they can only stand on the stairs to enjoy the performance.
"That's the VIP box in the theater, isn't it?" Lauren's optimism and positivity made Tessa laugh. "Do you think the young master will perform today? Ah, I'm looking forward to it
