Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

On December 23, Rockefeller Plaza was still full of people, and the screenwriters' strike was still going on. As the base of the TV station, it was always the base camp for screenwriters to demonstrate.

Today seems to be another normal day. The screenwriters still arrived at Rockefeller Plaza early in the morning and started a new day of persistence. Even the lively pop-up events in New York these two days did not affect Rockefeller Plaza. , Those fans know that more important things are going on here, and it is also an activity that Evan Bell unswervingly supports, so everyone did not come here to disturb.

It was less than five minutes before nine o'clock, and the screenwriters had already arrived at the scene one after another to prepare for the demonstration. attracted many people's attention.

The New Year's Eve party is held in New York every year, and the huge Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza is where the stage is set up. There is enough space for people to gather here to welcome the new year. Although there is a screenwriter strike this year, the New Year's Eve is a national carnival, and everyone is still preparing for it.

However, it is only the 23rd, and there is still a full week before the cross tower. The stage construction will not start now, so a large open space around the Christmas tree is still empty, and even the screenwriters who are on strike will not join in. go up. Suddenly a group of people poured into this open space, which is naturally very noticeable.

Someone with sharp eyes immediately saw Evan Bell who was helping push the scooter. At this time, Evan Bell was pushing a small cart with a silver-haired Abner Alfred, with a drum set neatly placed on it; Teddy Bell and Diego Ramos behind him Two people pushed another cart with two speakers on it. And Callisto Ramos and Andre Lindbergh have long been standing around holding guitars and bass, while Eden Hudson is holding a large amount of thread in his hand. All were connected to the instruments in everyone's hands. After everyone was in place, Eden Hudson walked over to Teddy Bell and Diego Ramos with the thread, ready to connect the thread. Audio. Blake Lively, who was at the back, held a body-worn camera in his hand and took pictures of the scene in front of him earnestly.

"Evan!" An acquaintance screenwriter blurted out and shouted. At this time, it was still a while before the screenwriter shouted the strike slogan at nine o'clock. Everyone was chatting, and after discovering Evan Bell, they couldn't help but gather over. .

After Evan-Bell pushed the drum cart to its position, he walked out and heard people around him shouting, "Evan, is there anything I can do to help?" Evan-Bell pressed down with a smile. He pressed his hand down, "No, when we evacuate in a while, everyone can help make a way. Today is a flash event."

As soon as the word "Flash?" came out, many people showed the expression of sudden realization. The "Like a Flash Mob" event that has been popular all over the world in the past two days can definitely be said to be in the limelight, making Evan Bell's The fifth single "As if I first met (nme was the hottest topic.

At this moment, the organizers next to him were shouting, "It's time, it's time..." It seemed that it was exactly nine o'clock, and it was time for the screenwriters to shout strike slogans. Then I saw the surrounding screenwriters showing friendly smiles at Evan Bell, and they all dispersed, picked up their signs, and started shouting at the office building of Peng C TV station.

Evan Bell is no stranger to this scene, but he did not join the strike today, but waved to Blake Lively, who was filming everyone installing musical instruments, and pointed to the strike Team, "Slap them, writers!"

Blake Lively understood immediately, moved the camera to the screenwriters, and then followed the marching team and began to move forward.

Blake Lively has been busy since joining the cast of "Gossip Girl" over the summer. The filming of the TV series is filmed at the same time, which is a very long process. Although there will be more rest time every day than the film, but because of the continuity, it is more tired. Even though Blake Lively was on New York's Upper East Side, he still didn't have time to meet Evan Bell.

This time the screenwriters went on strike, "Gossip Girl" was relatively well-stocked, so the impact was not too big. The filming of the episode continued until mid-December, and the episode was enough to play until mid-January, and then will enter the winter break. So, Blake Lively also waited until this week to just have a holiday. Last year, Blake Lively came to New York to spend Christmas with Evan Bell, so this year she has to stay with her family. She has to take the plane tonight to Los Angeles. No, she will accompany her in the morning. I came to Rockefeller Plaza with Evan Bell to participate in this rare flash mob event.

In fact, the same is true for Eden Hudson. He has been in Palo Alto for most of the year and only returned to New York this week, just for Christmas. He didn't rest for two days when he got home and was dragged by Evan Bell to participate in the event, and he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of sound. In order to keep the performance unaffected, Eden Hudson has been researching the plug-in for the past two days. The problem of the line is even more difficult than Palo Alto, and there is no holiday atmosphere at all. But for Eden Hudson, it was a lot of fun. In the past six months, Evan Bell has experienced a lot of interesting things, and he has been absent. Being able to join the ranks of this pop-up event today has really made People are hot.

The screenwriters were shouting slogans, but Evan Bell was not idle. He quickly walked to Eden Hudson's side, took his microphone, picked up the microphone stand from the cart, and walked straight to the front . Looking down at his watch, the time was approaching the number five little by little. Evan Bell looked back at the others. They went through several rehearsals for today's flash event to ensure that the entire process was accurate. Now it looks like they've done a great job. The members of the Outlaws were all ready, Teddy Bell was standing next to the stereo's trailer, and Eden Hudson was standing behind the stereo, also looking ready to go.

Although Blake Lively was filming the scene of the screenwriter's strike, she did not forget her character and kept checking the time. When she found that the hour hand had pointed to the number four, she panned the camera smoothly and then aimed at Evan. —Bell.

Evan-Bell had raised his hand and saw that the second hand pointed exactly to "twelve", and then he shouted directly into the microphone, "One, two, three! Go!"

The music didn't play, and Evan Bell's clear voice came from the speakers, "She was lying on the bed, sad and desperate, and I was in a nearby bar, drinking alone. We don't know. , how can we fall into such a crazy situation, full of frustration, full of despair." Along with Evan Bell's voice, the keyboard sound in Andre Lindbergh's hand made a clanking sound.

The voices of the screenwriters in Rockefeller Plaza are still ringing, and the citizens around New York have long been accustomed to this, and no one will stop to watch, even if the screenwriters starve to death, their lives Still have to continue. This is the coldness of the big city and the helplessness of life. It is so realistic.

But when Evan Bell's voice sounded, it was like a clear stream merged into the noise, and the clear melody wiped out all the confusion, like a flash of lightning, the sky above Rockefeller Plaza. The turbidity split a ray of light.

"It's so hard to get out of this mess. She needs me right now, but I can't find the time. Finally a new job and I'm going to get out of unemployment. We don't know how we got into this Crazy situation, is it God's test? Come and save us, because we have tried our best."

The stringed instruments of Diego Ramos and Callisto Ramos also began to join Evan Bell's voice, which was not loud, but slowly merged with the keyboard sound, and then slowly added Evan Bell's voice. Vin-Bell's voice came out. It seems like Evan Bell sings a cappella, but there is a cloudy feeling that haunts my heart.

"It's really hard to get out of trouble. But we'd drink cheap old wine and talk all night, and we haven't talked like this in a long time, a long time ago. Even though we were smiling, there were tears in our eyes. Although It's been years since we've been together, but we have a feeling that we're just meeting for the first time (me)."

With Evan-Bell's voice rising, the guitar strings began to slowly climb up The sound of the melody gradually blended in perfectly with Evan-Bell's voice. Epner-Alfred's drum kit burst out when we sang. Evan Bell held the microphone tightly, and just hummed the melody relying on a series of onomatopoeia words "oh", but the slight echoes spread like ripples.

The entire Rockefeller Plaza fell into silence. It was quiet. The crowds of people on Fifth Avenue and the cars on Sixth Avenue made the noise more and more silent in Rockefeller Plaza. Only Evan Bernard A low-pitched voice hovered in the sky.

The song "Just Seen For The First Time" is a story about a couple of lovers, a story about the American dream, and a story about every struggle in life. This song is really suitable for the situation of the screenwriter's strike. No one wants to lose their jobs, the screenwriter's strike means no source of income, which will only make their hard life more difficult, but the screenwriters' union knows that their strike is to win more benefits, so , even under the oppression of life, even in the tough confrontation of the producers' union, they could not give up.

Evan Bell's clear voice with a touch of sadness sings in the hearts of every screenwriter. That moving, silently gathers over Rockefeller Plaza, making the whole world seem to be pressed down The pause button is normal, and it stops like this.
