In Madison Square Garden two years ago, "one person's concert" created a miracle. There was no publicity and no announcement, but more than 20000 fans gathered in just three days. The whole venue was full, leaving a deep impression on the history of the most top performing venue in the United States.
Two years later, in Madison Square Garden, "dream back to the kerosene lamp bar" also created a miracle. It appeared on the stage as a singing group of the movie soundtrack, but it spread all over the North American continent in just a week. Countless fans flocked to it like a tide, and it ignited the discussion topic before the performance began.
According to official incomplete statistics, more than 35000 people lined up at the gate of Madison Square Garden on the day of the concert. The orderly and crowded event became a scene on the streets of Manhattan at the end of the year, which made people feel the excitement and prosperity of the New Year party ahead of time——
Square Garden is located just above the largest Pennsylvania Station in the United States. The scene of people coming and going is one of the busiest corners of New York City. At this time, there is a traffic jam. The bustle between coming and going makes people feel the popularity of "drunken folk" again.
It's hard to imagine that people created such a grand occasion just for the concert of a movie soundtrack——
Buying albums for the sake of movies is the norm in the North American market; But participating in the concert is absolutely rare. So what does this portend? Movie box office may also create a miracle? Or is it the extension of the influence of the hot wave in the Internet age?
However, everyone, including Sony classic, knows clearly that the name "Langley hall" has definitely helped a lot, and perhaps most of the credit should be attributed to it.
Although, on the list of performers, there are many super popular big name singers, such as Justin Timberlake, ed Sheeran and so on. Their appeal is unquestionable for the attendance rate of the concert; But all eyes are still involuntarily projected toward the same name in the past.
"I'm sorry, now the queue has far exceeded the capacity of the exhibition hall. Even if we continue to queue, we can't get in."
"Yes, I'm a Don Quixote, a volunteer at the Stadium tonight."
"Of course, you can stay. After the concert, you can still stay outside and listen to the grand performance in the venue. Because it's very cold tonight, we set up a tent at the main gate of the square, where the audience who want to stay can gather, talk and celebrate together. "
"Who wants to miss it? Ha, but the queues are really crazy. The first one to come here is 72 hours ahead of time. "
"Yes, only one concert has been arranged. I know and I've heard that many fans in Los Angeles have complained, but there's no way. Greenwich Village is in New York. "
"Ha ha. Coincidence, this is absolutely a coincidence. The two concerts of the young master took place in New York, which is not intentional. But... The young master chose to live in New York for his reasons. "
"We are also looking forward to another concert, but his schedule is really busy." Flora's letter is still being filmed. In fact, we launched an application before, hoping that the young master could hold a tour concert, and more than 300000 signatures were gathered, but... Ha ha ha, yes, the young master did not respond. "
William Taylor's mood tonight is like the midsummer sunshine in June, scattered sparsely on the surface of the green lake, with layers of scale light, take a deep breath, even the air is stained with pieces of green, so that the pace becomes light and bright.
From the beginning of the "Pacific War" to now, in the twinkling of an eye, lanli has accompanied him through the whole college career. From high school to university, he has experienced growth, pain, parting, and direction. Now he is at the intersection of graduation, full of emotion, but more hope.
William was prepared.
He knows how cruel society is. What's more, he knows that the cruelty and coldness of society are more serious than he imagined. What he saw, heard and learned is not the pain of the skin at last. It can't be compared with his own experience. It's just like a "drunken folk song". He only has to step into the snow with his feet, Can understand that kind of wet dada and throw away the pain.
Those things can not be prepared, only after the experience can understand; What William is really ready for is a heart that never gives up and never stops fighting, just like Lan Li, chasing his dream and realizing his value. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they always refuse to give up their arms and give up. With their own perseverance and determination, they run all the way unswervingly, making their lives bloom with different colors.
He will be a volunteer for a non-profit organization.
William always hopes that he can do his part for the society and people, and also hopes that he can live a down-to-earth life. Even though he receives a meager minimum salary, he can still help those who are really waiting for help, just like the "Little Match Girl" in Andersen's fairy tales, with a little bit of light of matches, Continue a little hope light in the ice sky and earth.
The existence of Langley lights up William's life. Now, William also hopes that he can continue the feat of Langley, just like the heather cross foundation, lighting more torch of hope.
William is. That's what hope is like, and so is Graham... And that's what their little friends are like.
If it's just that the appearance of Langley lights up their lives, and their spare time is full of movies and music, Langley is just one of the stars among the stars in Hollywood; Lanli is far more than that to Don Quixote. His attitude towards life and style of conduct have a profound impact on every Don Quixote's attitude towards life and future choices. Like a beacon, lanli guides them to find their own goal and direction, and then move forward.
Some people don't know what they want or what they expect in their whole life. They just muddle along with the stream and live in order to live. When they dream back in the middle of the night, they can't help but wonder: is life like this? Is that all?
"I thought there was more to life."—— This line from "Youth" is the best portrayal.
And some people, after a while, finally decide their own direction, get rid of the shackles of social rules, and really pursue their own happiness. Maybe it's money, maybe it's reputation, maybe it's emotion, maybe it's dream, maybe it's freedom. There's no right answer, but a clear direction can enrich themselves.
Whether it's 20 years old to understand or 80 years old to wake up, when the heart decides to find its true self, it's still time for everything. Because there is only one life, the length is certain, but the width and depth are not. It is never too late to start exploring at any time.
William and his friends were lucky. They met Langley. They understood Don Quixote, so from the moment they left the university campus, they began to explore their own life. Life is so long and so short, after all still need to have their own color, right?
A reporter once asked William why Langley was special?
At that time, William answered some self righteous answers, but now it seems that those answers are all wrong. The real answers can only be understood after he has experienced them with his heart: some people see the charm of acting in lenley, some people hear the power of soul in lenley's voice, Others realized the weight of life in Lan Li's eyes... This is the unique feature of Lan Li.
Unique existence.
Tonight, William is leading don Quixotes to help.
Madison Square Garden as a concert venue, the official regulation can only accommodate 20000 people, if more, the venue is prone to crowding or stampede, but there are full three hours from the official show of the concert, the long line has far exceeded the number of 30000 people, such a grand occasion is beyond imagination.
At the first time, William and his friends began to maintain the order of the scene. Nevertheless, the crowd continued to increase, as if it was not a concert, but a city party. It seemed that all the residents of Manhattan were pouring out. Compared with the "one person concert" two years ago, the feast tonight was even more heated and noisy.
The New York Times called the concert "the Party of the year.".
"The residents of Greenwich Village follow the guidance of those melodies and songs, go up the river of time, return to the decadent, chaotic, wonderful and gorgeous 1960s, and recover those pure, bitter, simple and happy years. Those lives are not beautiful, even unable to feed, but colorful, every moment of every day is full of countless possibilities.
Now, we are about to go back to that era again.
There is no doubt that this is the biggest and most grand party in 2013, even the most important party. I will not call it the contemporary Woodstock, because its spiritual significance and historical background are completely different; But it is undeniable that this grand gathering plays an irreplaceable role in contemporary culture.
’After the "drunken folk song" was released, many people asked an interesting question: why do people yearn for the life of a loser and a tramp?
That's a good question.
Yes, why do people yearn for such a life? Perhaps, when we ask this question, different answers have already distinguished our life and views. Tonight, as we stand in the audience at Madison Square Garden, maybe we should ask ourselves this question again: why
After a while, the audience began to enter Madison Square Garden, and this annual party is about to begin!
