Nine Hundred and Ninety-Seven

Sitting in the taxi, Robin-Heizer straightened his back and looked at the mighty array of cars that stretched out in front of him. Glancing at the watch on his wrist, it was twenty minutes before seven o'clock, which made Robin frown slightly, "Jesus Christ, I've already gone out an hour earlier, what the hell is going on?"

"This is New York." The taxi driver raised his eyes, threw a shallow smile through the rearview mirror, and spread his hands to express his helplessness.

Robin tugged his shirt button. "I know. But it's not even seven o'clock. What the hell is going on? Even Monday wasn't so crowded."

As a true New Yorker, Robin spent his childhood on the Upper East Side and his youth in the Lower/City/District, and then moved to Long Island after having children, forty-five years of his life , know all aspects of the city like the back of your hand. Today is Wednesday. In order to avoid the morning rush hour, Robin left the house early, but he was still stuck on Fifth Avenue.

The taxi driver shrugged. "I suggested that if we took a detour to Twelfth Avenue and then turned back, we would be much faster. But..." But the passenger refused, so he had no choice.

"I thought Fifth Avenue wouldn't get crowded until after seven. God." Robin was so anxious that he had to unbutton a shirt and catch his breath.

Raising his chin again and looking at the past, Robin is thinking, there are still four streets, whether he should get off the car and walk over there, the speed is faster; but the distance of four streets, when he reaches the destination, will he sweat profusely? Dripping, this is absolutely fatal for today's important meeting.

At this moment, the figure of a girl outside the car window ran over quickly, wearing a long red dress, flying in the wind, leaving behind a dazzling brilliance, that drifting with the wind. The long and supple hair outlines the wanton and madness of youth, and Robin's eyes can't help but be distracted, thinking of his son.

Seventeen years old, the age of youth blooming.

"Quick, quick, we're going to be late, haha." The girl turned around and shouted cheerfully, greeting her little friend, and then a group of young people chased after them, still shouting, "No Say nine o'clock? So what are you in a hurry to do?" "I can see the young master again today, oh yeah!"

"Is there any special event in Times Square today?" Robin asked aloud, still keeping his eyes on the group of young people.

"It's not Times Square, it's Rockefeller Plaza," said the taxi driver familiarly. "The 'Today Show', the studio is right there, there's a live show today, and the guest is Renly Hall, you know him? Take it this year. Oscar's one,

There wasn't a movie released last week. I heard that it was very good. I'm going to take a break tomorrow night and go to the cinema to see it. "

Not only was Robin's doubts unanswered, but he was even more confused. "'Today's Show'? Isn't there a show recorded every day? What big stars have not seen here? Is it so lively?"

"Ha, you don't know this, right? These young people are so crazy now that someone pitched a tent in Rockefeller Plaza last night." Protective measures were set up and a security team was dispatched to maintain order at the scene. The radio news in the morning said that it is estimated that at least 10,000 people arrived at the scene today, but it seems that the number of people has exceeded expectations."

Robin's brows furrowed, and he became irritable because he was delayed, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity and continued to ask questions, "Ten thousand people? Do you know the reason?"

...

NBC's morning news program, "Today Show", is the most trump card morning program in North America. It has held the title of the morning TV ratings champion for 30 years. At its peak, the number of viewers can even be Breaking through 10 million, which is incredible for a morning show, is almost equivalent to dominating the entire market.

In the early 1990s, ABC TV's morning news program "Good Morning America" ​​overtook the "Today Show", but it didn't last long, and soon NBC TV regained the throne, and since then Since 1995, it has been maintained until now, and it can be called the absolute king of the morning schedule.

"The Ellen Show," which Renly has starred in, is also a morning show, but neither the ratings nor the number of viewers can compare to "The Today Show."

This news program has created countless records. For example, they set up the live broadcast room of the fish tank in Rockefeller Plaza, allowing every passerby to watch the live news of the news, and even appear on the live screen of the live broadcast to greet the vast audience. ; For example, they have created a number of different sectors such as politics, society, entertainment, sports, and finance, and spent morning time with audiences in different fields.

Today's "Today Show" has developed into a four-hour live show covering the entire morning viewing time.

From time to time, the show will invite guests to attend the show, including live performances by singing guests, which has also become a part that countless audiences are crazy about. Every time it can attract a large number of audiences to Rockefeller Plaza to enjoy the show.

By the way, the biggest competitor of the "Today Show", "Good Morning America," has its live broadcast room set up in Times Square - just a few blocks away from the two squares. So it's not uncommon for Times Square and Rockefeller Plaza to have performers at the same time, and it can always create a huge wave of people over Manhattan.

However, the city has the biggest, busiest and craziest New Year's Eve countdown event in the world, all happening in Times Square. Therefore, people have long been accustomed to the head-to-head competition between the two programs.

Another working day, another live broadcast day, Rockefeller Plaza once again ushered in a surging crowd. However, today's crowd seems to have far exceeded expectations, and it is still pouring in continuously. The crowd is dense enough to make the crowd dense. The patient with phobia fainted on the spot.

Rockefeller Plaza is only a box-shaped plaza with a concave center. The small plaza in the center is transformed into an ice skating rink every winter, becoming another choice for family travel. All around are restaurants and underground shopping malls; the stairs in the four corners Going up the stairs, you can come to the ground floor and enter the surrounding office buildings. The spacious street is enough to accommodate two motor vehicles side by side.

At this time, on the concave square in the center, a red stage was built near the right side of the "Today Show" fish tank live broadcast room. On the large stage, there was a huge poster of "Edge of Tomorrow" and the movie The human-shaped signboards of all the characters in the show - including the members of the J team, two sets of sofas for interviews are placed in the center, and there are many instruments of a live band.

With the stage as the center, the crowd spread without gaps, covering the entire square without any gaps; in a blink of an eye, the square in the center was already full; and then the crowd followed the stairs, mighty The swaying ground began to extend towards the ground floor, and the continuous influx of people was filling up the spacious ground street little by little.

Judging from the current momentum, there is still no end in sight.

Lauren Messler stood in the surging crowd, unable to move forward, unable to retreat, unable to move at all, turned his head, and then saw the stunned expressions of his friends, Lauren laughed happily, " Look, I told you, today's scene is absolutely packed, three hours ahead of schedule, it's impossible to squeeze in at all."

Lauren, the moviegoer who was injured at the premiere of "Me Against Cancer" last year, finally graduated from high school this summer and is about to go to college in New York, the New York she has always dreamed of and loved. Because Renly lives in this city, as if even the air is different.

On the occasion of the "Edge of Tomorrow" premiere, Warner Bros. issued an official response to the limited-edition peripherals, saying that all the answers will be revealed on the "Today Show" stage on June 13, when Renly Will appear as a guest on the show. Today is the thirteenth of June.

Due to the frenzy caused by the limited edition and the early spoiler of the itinerary, this episode of "Today's Show" has attracted countless attention on the Internet. Young college students have all said that on the day of the live broadcast, they will definitely come to Rockefeller. Square cheers.

Originally, people took it for granted that the live broadcast of the "Today Show" program could gather 5,000 viewers, which was unthinkable; but apparently, people have forgotten that this is Renly Hall.

NBC TV officially announced the time for the guests to appear, which should be around 10:30. But there is still some time before seven o'clock, and the entire square is almost crowded. Lauren and his friends were not able to get into the infield at all.

Tessa Britton pouted dejectedly, "Don't they sleep? I thought, the 'Today Show' live stream was not followed! Really!"

Hope, William, and Graham were all in Los Angeles for the "Edge of Tomorrow" premiere, but then they had to deal with final exams, so there was no way to fly over to New York. So, Tessa and Lauren converged and led their friends to attend.

Looking at Tessa's complaint, Lauren laughed heartily, "This is a good thing, it shows that the young master's support is increasing; what's more, our location here is also good, not far from the stage."

Lauren, Tessa and others are now standing on the stairs, close to the stairs on the side of the stage, there is no way to continue, and it is impossible to turn around, so they can only stand on the steps and enjoy the performance.

"Isn't this the VIP box in the theater?" Lauren's optimism and positivity made Tessa laugh, "You said, will the young master perform today? Ahhh, I'm looking forward to it! "

...

A sea of ​​people, when Robin arrived at Rockefeller Plaza, he saw a real sea of ​​people, a vast and turbulent heat wave, blowing at the face, which was jaw-dropping.
