There was still an hour before the press conference of the unveiling ceremony, and the hall was already packed. The major news media gathered together, from the social section to the political section to the entertainment section, all sent special reporters, but even In this way, the press hall that can accommodate 300 reporters still seems to lack space.
Not only American journalists, but also many foreign journalists will not miss the special day of the 9119th anniversary. Although the main event of the 9th anniversary today is in Washington, the unveiling ceremony of the Freedom Tower in New York is also the top priority. Therefore, even if it is not comparable to the spectacle of more than 500 reporters in Washington, New York still ushered in the carnival of media reporters.
Evan Bell arrived at the press conference early, even earlier than most reporters, and made a special trip to see the Freedom Tower. Compared with the Congressional Gold Medal, the meaning of the Freedom Tower is what Evan Bell is most concerned about.
On September 11, it was the first shock that Evan Bell experienced personally after his rebirth. The scene of smoke billowing over New York was too shocking, and he also joined the post-disaster relief work as a volunteer. In such an occasion, everyone is just an ordinary person, just a life, a fragile life without any resistance in the collapsed ruins. Even watching life disappear in front of them, there is no time to cry and mourn, because they have no time, and there are more lives waiting for their rescue.
That sub-scene, no matter how long the time has passed, is still vivid, as if it was imprinted in the mind. But now, nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Freedom Tower has stood up again in the original location of the Twin Towers, but it still feels unreal.
Perhaps, with the passage of time, children born after 2002 will gradually forget the harm caused by September 11. In the memory of this group of children, there is no Twin Towers, and the Freedom Tower is the new landmark of New York, but this does not mean that that history has been annihilated, because it has been engraved in the bone marrow of the city of New York . Even the Freedom Tower. You can also see the shadow of the broken twin towers in the billowing smoke.
Barack Obama saw Evan Bell standing by the window, nodded to Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson who got up, and left his entourage at the door, moving towards Evan -Bell's direction took a step. Finally stopped beside Evan Bell and looked out along Evan Bell's line of sight.
Outside the window is a thriving city scene, and from this angle, such images seem to be repetitive, creating the illusion that it may be Paris or Tokyo. It was only when I saw the Statue of Liberty at the far end of the sea that I suddenly realized that this was New York.
"The prosperity of the city is always expected, isn't it?" Barack Obama did not make a formal introduction to Evan Bell, but whispered with a smile, as if meeting old friends.
Evan Bell saw the black man beside him from the reflection in the window, he didn't react deliberately, just shrugged, "Ass decides head. I hope to see the expected picture, but not always. ."
The prosperity of the city is like a grand and splendid dance. The magnificent and intertwined pictures are enough to cover up some darkness; but in fact, behind this dance, there are always unexpected dark corners. Even leaving aside Queens and Brooklyn, a city as big as New York seems like a beast that is constantly devouring people's life force, and only a few people can survive here. The big city is actually the stage for a survivor game. Evan Bell's original creation of "me" is such a source of inspiration.
"Are you demanding more from my job?" Barack Obama chuckled. Say it easily.
Evan Bell shook his head with a smile, "No, I'm doing well." Evan Bell is not a sympathetic Mahatma Gandhi, willing to devote himself to the revival of the entire nation; there will always be relief in the slums of New York City. finished residents. Evan Bell does not think they are all his own responsibility, so he has no need to protest or demand to the government. "Besides, I'm British."
This made Barack Obama laugh, and he had to admire Evan Bell's humor.
Life is like a reincarnation, not only a reincarnation of good and evil, but also a repetition of this kind of deja vu. Evan Bell and Barack Obama first met at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Freedom Tower, but Evan Bell's career was still on the rise at the time, and Barack Obama was just a congressman; Now the two meet again at the inauguration of the Freedom Tower, Evan Bell has reached a height that no one else can reach, and Barack Obama has become the first black president in American history.
When Barack Obama was still in Illinois, he actually liked Evan Bell's music, personal preference, and then he went higher and higher in his political career, but his preferences for Evan Bell have never changed. Pass. But life can't always go smoothly. Although I like Evan Bell personally, the interests attached to Evan Bell far exceed expectations. As an artist, his appeal to the whole society, his network The potential resources he possesses make Evan Bell also have the "utilization value" that politicians need. This also makes Barack - Obama in the process of getting along with Evan - Bell, can no longer get along as friends calmly, for this, Barack - Obama is very clear.
Barack Obama extended an olive branch to Evan Bell several times, but was rejected mercilessly. He also knew that Evan Bell was an uncertain factor beyond his control, so he had to give up the political aspect. Cooperation. But despite this, Barack Obama has made no secret of his admiration for Evan Bell. He has expressed his love for Evan Bell in public and formal occasions many times. Even the whole American people know that Evan Bell 's albums and movies, Barack Obama will watch without missing a beat.
Looking at Evan Bell next to him, he was wearing a ivory white-collar shirt with a tile blue background today. He didn't wear a tie or bow tie, but just buttoned all the buttons neatly, a smoke-gray single-button suit. He wears a large disc transparent mechanical watch in his right hand, neatly dressed, formal but not old-fashioned, energetic but not rude, in line with Evan Bell's tall and straight height. Can't take your eyes off.
This is Evan Bell. Without deliberate management, it naturally has a charm that cannot be expressed in words. For this, Barack Obama has always admired. In such a complex and cruel society, he can still maintain his own personality. How difficult it is, Barack Obama knows it all too well. He is a person who plays politics, not to mention the complexity of the entertainment industry is unfathomable.
"Would you like to come to the White House to celebrate this Christmas?" Barack Obama asked. Actually Barack Obama's inauguration and last Christmas. They all sent out invitations to Evan Bell, hoping that Evan Bell could attend the dinner, but they were all rejected by Evan Bell. Compared with Evan Bell's rejection of the British royal family's award, the US president's inability to survive is not a big news.
Evan Bell couldn't help but feel a little funny about Barack Obama's obsession. He turned to look at the big man on the podium, "Mr. Obama, I prefer to be with my family for Christmas, and this is the It's the meaning of Christmas, isn't it?"
Barack Obama seems to have anticipated such an outcome. So there was no accident, no anger, just stretched out his right hand, "I hope you will inform me in advance when you hold an inquiry concert next time. I will try my best to buy tickets." Barack Obama sat down In the position of president, you can't be willful, but it's still okay to listen to a concert and enjoy Evan Bell's performance on the spot. That's what Barack Obama has always wanted.
Evan Bell held the right hand in front of him, "Of course. This is good news for ticket sales, at least one has been resolved." Evan Bell's ridicule also made Barack Obama laugh.
"Okay, I should go out and get ready." After Barack Obama finished speaking, he politely prepared to leave. He's in New York today just to speak at the very beginning of the press conference, and then he's flying to Washington. But even with such a tight schedule, he still took time out to visit Evan Bell, which is really rare. "By the way, congratulations on receiving the Congressional Gold Medal."
"Thank you." Evan Bell replied with a smile, watching Barack Obama turn and leave. After Barack Obama left, Evan Bell looked at Eden Hudson who was sitting next to him Is there any new news about the recent abuse of prisoners? "What I'm talking about here is the abuse of prisoners in Iraq, which has caused extremely bad and negative effects around the world, and the militaries of the United Kingdom and the United States are involved.
Eden Hudson nodded, "Another 2,000 photos of torture and prisoners were released at the end of last month. Recently, Obama is completely overwhelmed. Recently, I heard that WikiLeaks has obtained another US military secret war document, which may cause an uproar. ."
"No wonder." Evan Bell nodded meaningfully. Barack Obama has been doing face projects recently, hoping to reduce the negative impact as much as possible. In fact, Barack Obama has had a hard time recently, the economic recovery is slow, the war has not ended, and now there are so many negative news, it can be said that the United States is at a point of disappointment for Barack Obama, which makes Barack Obama Obama is a bit overwhelmed.
No matter what the real purpose of Barack Obama's meeting with Evan Bell today, it will never be as simple as a fan meeting with an idol. This is politics, the **** decides the head, the position of Barack Obama decides, he can't do whatever he wants.
