832 Seats packed
Late at night, New York is experiencing the biggest cold wave of the day. The wind is raging and the ice is biting. It seems that even the air is frozen into ice. Even if you are sitting next to the stove indoors, drinking hot coffee to keep warm, the wind is whistling past the window. The sound of the wind, the creaking and shaking of the old house, and the frosty glass still made people couldn't help but start stamping their feet and feel their stiff toes again.
Just after eleven o'clock, the whole of Manhattan has become quiet. The neon lights above Times Square are still flashing, and the wet ground reflects the outline of the city; but the streets are desolate and silent, with no one coming or going, no The bustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps seem to be dissipated in the biting cold air amid the busy traffic..
The hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsided, leaving only the tranquility and comfort of thousands of lights. Only one corner is exception: Madison Square Garden.
All year round, rain or shine, Madison Square Garden is always brightly lit and noisy, like a giant quietly waiting for the city, awakening the enthusiasm and passion hidden in the streets and alleys every night. Tonight is no exception. A lively and vigorous concert is going on, and there are quite a few reporters gathered outside the door..
As the time progressed and it got closer to eleven o'clock, the crowd gathered outside the garden not only did not decrease, but also showed an increasing trend. Everyone was carrying a camera, a recorder, and a briefcase. All kinds of strange outfits show the same vein: reporter style
Wrinkled shirts, earthy brown sweaters, windproof and waterproof jackets, outer jackets for lens caps, recording pens and other tools, complexly patterned sneakers or light men's casual shoes, and all dark casual shoes. Pants. Every detail on the body is labeled.：
I'm a reporter.
In the past week, the most sensational, hottest, and most controversial news event in the United States was not the latest gossip during the awards season, but "One Man's Concert."”.
The news media, led by "Entertainment Weekly" and "The New York Times", are divided into two groups, conspiracy theorists and support theorists. Along with this, ordinary people and netizens have also clearly taken a stand, and the heated debate continues. Heats up, nearly steals awards season thunder.
The main reason is that it happened suddenly. It only took two days. Even counting from the day Eleven Studio released the announcement, it was only four days; everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. Discussions and controversies erupted at lightning speed. Before I could sort out all the ins and outs, the concert had already started..
Suspense, expectation, criticism, questioning, cheering, support. All kinds of comments are flying in the sky. Everyone is waiting for a "truth", at least a "trend" to see how things will develop in the future. What's going on.
Tonight, the concert kicks off, and the answer is about to be revealed. At least it is a staged answer..
Faced with such heavy news, reporters naturally couldn't miss it easily, especially during the live broadcast of the "Today Show" this morning. Audiences across the United States witnessed the long queues at the entrance of Madison Square Garden, which seemed to be the ticket sales of the concert. There is no need to worry at all. So what is the result? How is the attendance rate? What was the audience's reaction? Is the concert just a gimmick, or is it a sincere performance?？
“"One Man's Concert" did not officially invite any media to enter Madison Square Garden for interviews, promotion and reporting; but similarly, this much-anticipated concert does not have any ticket purchase restrictions, and is completely open to public ticket sales. As long as you are willing, Anyone can purchase a ticket.
However, in the face of the strong cold wave and the queue of more than 3,000 people buying tickets in the early morning, the reporters all backed down..
Reporters complained about this, and a large number of them even called Eleven Studio and Andy Rogers to complain, protest, condemn, and even threaten, "If the media interview pass is not opened, don't blame us then. Reported randomly.”
It is precisely because of the evil intentions in his heart that he deliberately closed the media interview pass, and it is precisely because of the malicious hype that he went tit-for-tat with the media reporters..
For the same news event, just by changing the angle slightly, reporters can easily make the parties involved miserable. The uncrowned kings, even in the Internet age of the 21st century, they still hold the pen to dominate public opinion.！
However, Studio 11 still did not relent, and showed a arrogant attitude of "do as you please", but it also left reporters helpless. Because this was a concert that could accommodate 20,000 people, everyone said, They can't agree on the same caliber at all.
Only a handful of reporters proactively and energetically joined the queue and completed the ticket purchase honestly. Not only did they enter the venue to watch the concert, but they also got the first opportunity to conduct an up-close interview..
As for the other reporters, they arranged spies at the garden. When the concert came to an end and received a phone call, they left the warm room and couldn't wait to appear at the scene, looking forward to collecting information as soon as possible. Breaking news.
In less than twenty minutes, hundreds of reporters appeared near the deserted garden, bustling at all exits, waiting for the concert to end. The number of reporters coming from all directions continued to increase, creating a lively scene. It’s really unbelievable, especially on a February winter night when the wind is howling..
However, what was even more incredible than the grand occasion in front of them was the reporters themselves. Almost everyone was dumbfounded, looked at each other, and raised questions in disbelief, "What? Fully packed? Fully packed? Are you kidding me? What does "full" mean? The venue is full and there are no empty seats？”
Even after experiencing a live interview on the "Today Show" and even witnessing the raging and boiling queue, there is still a huge difference between 3,000 people and 20,000 people. Almost no one believed that the enthusiastic audience could crowd Madison Square Garden. Man. This is an impossible task, even more incredible than reaching the sky..
Even now, some people have witnessed it with their own eyes, some have experienced it personally, and some have spread it by word of mouth. Many reporters still refuse to believe such ridiculous "rumors".”.
Cornell McGregor even scoffed, "Making up a story is logical and rational at least. It's so ridiculous. We're not fools. How could it be possible? Why don't you just say that after the tickets were sold out, there were still fans at the door. Wearing a makeshift sign and trying to get votes, haha.”
“Yes, it really happened. Thirty minutes after the concert started, there were still three to four hundred fans wandering around the garden gate, refusing to leave..”
“Yes, yes, Renly heard about it later. Considering the bad weather in New York today, he arranged for more than twenty security guards to allow these fans to enter for free. However, they had no seats and could only stand and watch. concert.”
“That's right, I saw a few reporters sneaking in. If I didn't have to wait here, I would have gone in too..”
……
Bustling and chattering, Cornell tried to open his mouth to respond to the rebuttal, but the exclamations that sounded from all directions did not leave any room for him to interrupt. Those unintentional words were like slaps, slapped hard on the face, burning. , the pain was severe, and the shame rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head like a flame. Before realizing it, he had already clenched his fists..
However, no one paid attention.
“"Madison Square Garden is packed tonight." Just this news was enough to cause a sensation in North America. First, "Crazy Love" and "I'm Fighting Cancer" were box office successes, and then "One Man's Concert" was held in four days. Filling Madison Square Garden, especially the latter, is enough to go down in history, and really makes people feel Renly's popularity and popularity..
For the general public, this actor who concentrates on starring in artistic independent films may have only "Fast and Furious 5" as their impression, and his foundation is neither broad nor deep; but for senior professional audiences, this step by step The young man who realized his dream is an artist. His performance and his music truly and vividly interpret creative taste and artistic persistence, truly touching the hearts of every fan..
Especially the album "Don Quixote" sings Renly's heart comprehensively and profoundly. After listening to the album, look back at those trajectories: After the "Pacific War", he rejected "Thor" and chose "Buried Alive" ; Above Telluride, he agreed to star in "Crazy Love" with a salary of 20,000 US dollars; after the great success of "Fast and Furious 5", he turned to the filming of "Transcendence".
Everything gradually became clear. From stars to actors to artists, this is a line, an amazing and admirable line..
As a result, those audiences who really understood, listened to and understood "Don Quixote" gathered together.
Not many, but strong; rare, but profound; unique, but sincere.
In the entire North American continent and in the entire New York City, the 20,000 seats in Madison Square Garden are too few for them. It is only 20,000, far from the hustle and bustle of the Yahoo community. Boiling, this is just a call issued within two days, this is just a concert on a working day on Thursday. Besides this, let alone a garden concert, for three consecutive days, the venue was full, this It’s still not difficult.
The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear.
People never really realized that the name "Renly Hall" had the appeal. Until tonight.
Not just Cornell, every reporter is digesting this latest news and the implications it brings.：
Does this mean that Renly has more appeal at the box office? Does this mean that Renly's influence on major film companies has increased? Does this mean that Renly's attention during the awards season has skyrocketed? Does this mean that Renly has shed his status as a newcomer and has the potential to become a superstar?？
does this mean……
Before my thoughts could fully unfold, the exit door of the garden opened. The concert was over..
