The Greatest Showman

Eight Hundred and Thirty-Two Seats

New York in the middle of the night is experiencing the biggest wave of cold waves today. The wind is raging and the ice is biting. It seems that even the air is frozen into ice; The sound of the wind, the creaking and trembling of the old house, and the frosted glass made people stomp and feel their stiff toes again.

Just after eleven o'clock, the whole of Manhattan was quiet, the neon lights above Times Square were still flashing, and the wet ground reflected the outline of the city; but the streets were desolate and silent, no one came and went, no The bustling traffic, the bustling and hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps seems to be dissipated in the cold air.

The liveliness of the city gradually settles down, leaving only the tranquility and comfort of thousands of lights. Only one corner is the 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 every night. Tonight is no exception, a playful and vigorous concert is being staged, and there are not a few reporters gathered outside the door.

With the advancement of time, gradually approaching eleven o'clock, the crowd gathered outside the garden not only did not decrease, but also showed an increasing momentum. Everyone carried a camera, a voice recorder, and a briefcase. All kinds of strange dresses show the same vein: reporter style——

Crumpled shirt, drab sweater, windproof and waterproof jacket, overcoat for lens caps, recorders, and other tools, intricately patterned sneakers or light-weight men's loafers, and all dark stools pants. Every detail of the body is labelled:

I am a reporter.

In the past week, the most sensational, hottest and most controversial news event in the United States is not the latest gossip of awards season, but "one person's concert".

The news media headed by "Entertainment Weekly" and "New York Times" are divided into two factions, conspiracy theorists and supporters, and together, ordinary people and netizens have also taken a clear stand, and the heated debate continues. Heating up, it almost stole the limelight from awards season.

The main reason is the instant burst. It only took two days before and after, and even if it was counted from the day Eleven Studio released the announcement, it was only four days; everything seemed to happen between lightning and flint, and discussions and disputes broke out quickly. , Before I could sort out all the ins and outs, the concert was already on stage.

Suspense, expectation, criticism, questioning, cheering, support. All kinds of speeches are flying in the sky, and everyone is waiting for a "truth", or at least a "trend" - the trend of the subsequent development of things, and see what is going on.

tonight,

The concert opens, and the answer is about to be revealed. At least a phased answer.

In the face of such heavy news, reporters can't easily miss it, especially during the live broadcast of "Today Show" this morning, audiences across the United States witnessed the long queue at the entrance of Madison Square Garden. It seems that the concert tickets are sold. No need to worry at all. So what is the result? How is the attendance rate? How did the audience react? Is the concert just a gimmick or a genuine performance?

"One Person's Concert" does not officially invite any media to enter Madison Square Garden for interviews, publicity and reporting; but also, there are no ticket purchase restrictions for this much-anticipated concert. , anyone can buy a ticket.

However, in the face of the strong cold wave and the ticket-buying queue of more than 3,000 people in the early morning, the reporters all retreated.

In this regard, the reporters complained endlessly, and even most of them called Eleven Studio and Andy Rogers, complaining, protesting, condemning, and even threatening, "If the media interview pass is not opened, then don't blame us. Random reports."

It is because of a ghost in the heart that the media interview pass is deliberately closed, and it is because of malicious speculation that it is tit-for-tat with the media reporters.

The same news event, just need to change a little angle, reporters can easily make the parties miserable. Uncrowned kings, even in the Internet age of the 21st century, they still hold the pen that dominates public opinion!

However, Eleven Studio still did not let go, posing an arrogant gesture of "respect for listening and listening", but it also left the reporters at a loss. Because this is a concert that can accommodate 20,000 people, there are so many people talking, they can't be unified at all.

There were only a handful of reporters who actively and energetically joined the queue, and honestly completed the ticket purchase. They not only entered the venue to watch the concert, but also got the opportunity to conduct a close-up interview at the first time.

As for the other reporters, they arranged eyeliners at the garden scene. When the concert was coming to an end, after receiving a phone call, they left the warm room and couldn't wait to appear at the scene, looking forward to collecting materials as soon as possible. Breaking news.

In less than 20 minutes, hundreds of reporters appeared near the garden of Menke Luoque, bustlingly waiting for the exits, waiting for the end of the concert, and the number of reporters pouring in from all directions continued to increase, creating a lively scene. It's a bit unbelievable, especially on a cold February winter night.

However, what was even more incredible than the spectacle in front of them were the reporters themselves. Almost everyone was stunned and looked at each other in disbelief. "What does it mean that the audience is full and there is no space?"

Even after experiencing the live interview of "Today Show" and witnessing the surging queues, there is still a huge difference between 3,000 people and 20,000 people. Few believed that Madison Square Garden could be packed with enthusiastic spectators. This is an impossible task, even more incredible than the sky.

Even now, some reporters still refuse to believe such absurd and ridiculous "rumours", with some witnesses, some personal experiences, and some word of mouth.

Cornell-McGregor even sneered, "To make up a story, it is logical and rational, so absurd, we are not fools, how is it possible. Why don't you just say that after the tickets are sold out, there are fans at the door. Trying to ask for tickets with a makeshift sign, haha.”

"Yes, there really is. Thirty minutes after the concert started, there were still three or 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 20 security guards to let these fans enter for free, but they had no seats and could only stand. Watch the concert."

"Yeah, I saw a few reporters get in too. If I didn't have to wait here, I'd go in too."

...

Bustling and chattering, Cornell tried to open his mouth to respond to the rebuttal, but the sighs that sounded in all directions did not leave him any room for interjection at all, and the unintentional words were like a slap in the face, slapped on the face fiercely, hot , the pain was so bad, the humiliation rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head like flames, and the fists of both hands were clenched before realizing it.

However, no one paid attention.

"Madison Square Garden is full tonight", just this news is enough to make a sensation in North America. First the box-office hits of "Crazy in Love" and "My Cancer-fighting Me", then "One Man's Concert" filling Madison Square Garden in four days, especially the latter, is simply enough to go down in history, truly It made people feel the popularity and heat of Renly.

For the general public, this actor who is dedicated to acting in artistic independent films may have all their impressions of "Fast and Furious 5", and the foundation is neither broad nor deep; but for senior professional audiences, this step by step The young man who realizes his dream is an artist. His performance and his music truly and vividly interpret the creative style and artistic persistence, and truly touch the hearts of every fan.

In particular, the album "Don Quixote" sang Renly's heart in a comprehensive and profound way. After listening to the album, look back and watch those tracks: after "Pacific War", rejected "Thor" and chose "Buried Alive"; above Telluride, agreed to star in "Crazy Love" for $20,000; "Speed" After the huge success of Passionate 5", he turned around and devoted himself to the shooting of "Transcendence".

Everything is gradually becoming clear. From star to actor to artist, it's a thread, amazing and admirable.

So, the audience who really understood, understood, and understood "Don Quixote" gathered together.

Not many, but solid; rare, but profound; unique, but sincere.

On the entire North American continent, in the entire New York City, the 20,000 seats in Madison Square Garden are too few and too few for them. The mere 20,000 people are far from the hustle and bustle of the Yahoo community. This is only a call issued within two days. This is just a concert on Thursday and weekdays. In addition to this, let alone a garden concert, for three consecutive days, the venue was full, which is still not difficult.

Father, like son.

People never really realized that the name "Renly-Hall" already had appeal. until tonight.

Not only Cornell, every reporter is digesting this latest news, and the derived meaning of this news:

Does this mean that Renly has more traction at the box office? Does this mean that Renly's influence on the major studios has increased? Does this mean that Renly's attention has skyrocketed during awards season? Does this mean that Renly has shed his rookie status and has the potential to become a superstar?

Does this mean...

Before the thought could be fully developed, the exit gate of the garden opened. The concert is over. 8)
