1004 Encore is not scattered
In the live broadcast of "Today Show" on June 13, an unprecedented full hour was left for the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew, which had never happened before. It's common practice for guests to stay for 15 to 30 minutes, but today was unusual, with a full hour of interviews.
With such a bold and crazy live broadcast plan, at the risk of complaints and protests, NBC TV has won a hearty victory. Not only did there be no complaints, but the audience message board also generally reflected:
Time is too short!
During the whole interview, the harmony and chemistry within the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" really left a deep impression; Donald, Rammy, Jennifer, Alexander and several others are actually hidden jokers, and there are constant laughter in the conversation, as well as Lan Li and Paul, who cooperate tacitly, are even more pleasantly surprised.
In addition to the unexpected fact that Lan Li is actually the "prank demon king", the crew members also talked about the creative process of the movie, how the six characters of Team J were created, how the lines and performances were integrated, and even each character has a specific background storyboard, which is really eye-opening.
Not to mention the audience in Rockefeller Plaza, even the office workers in the office buildings around the square were reluctant to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and participate in the live broadcast of the program in an alternative way.
An hour?
For the audience, it seems that it is just a cup of coffee, and before they even have time to savor it, the live broadcast period has ended, and the scene even sounded the call of encore - it sounds incredible, but it is the case, the audience on the square expressed their inner excitement and excitement with one after another encore, and also expressed their inner reluctance and nostalgia.
After standing up, the two hosts who were about to say goodbye looked at each other, and they had never encountered such a situation in the history of the "Today Show" program, and even the director was a little stunned.
Matt Lauer's gaze fell on Lan Li, looking at the young man in front of him, who was only twenty-two years old, and a friendly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Lan Li, are you sure you won't continue to give back to the enthusiastic audience in front of you?"
The deafening shout came in a continuous and vast way, wave after wave, hitting Lan Li's eardrum fiercely, the beating of the heart was almost about to burst, and the hot warm current was rampaging in the chest, so fierce that the chest was stuffy and painful, but the simple call was so moving.
"Encore, Encore, Encore!"
1,000, 10,000, 30,000...... All the crowd gradually joined together, and even the audience sitting in front of the television could not suppress their excitement and enthusiasm, and they wanted to be part of that wave, which was enough to shake the world.
"Encore!" In the pantry of the office, someone finally raised his right hand excitedly, waving enthusiastically, and joined in the shouting, but then he realized that he was in the company, not Rockefeller Plaza. This made him cautiously poke his head out and look at the office's reaction.
There was still silence and dreary in front of me, as if a huge stone had been thrown down, but it had not been able to stir up any waves. Not only did no one respond, but no one responded, only a few eyes lifted their eyes in the direction of the pantry, and then they bowed their heads again sullenly, indifferent.
It was so lifeless that there was no trace of life.
Casting his gaze at the TV screen in the pantry again, his heart was surging, it was not only the breath of enthusiasm, but also the breath of freedom, which made people yearn for and envy.
"Encore!"
The simplest and most straightforward cry is full of all the longing and urgency in the depths of the heart, and people can't help but want to open their arms, as if spreading their wings, and soar in the wind.
So, Lan Li took a step forward, raised his hands high, and began to beat the rhythm, "Bang! Bang!"
The strength of a person is so small, the basic beat hit can't stir up the waves at all, but then Paul and Jennifer exchanged glances, both stood behind Lan Li, raised their hands high, joined Lan Li's ranks, and beat the beat together, the movements were a little clumsy and a little slow, but the smile couldn't help but rise, like a child stepping on a puddle on a rainy day, and couldn't help but be happy.
Rami stepped forward quickly, then Donald, Kaya, then the others, and finally Alexander stood still, holding his forehead - for rhythm, which was really not his specialty, but after laughing dumbly, shaking his head helplessly, Alexander stepped forward anyway, and joined the beat beating in a hurry.
In the crowd, Lauren and Tessa and a group of other friends, the smiles on their faces immediately bloomed, raised their hands high, and the light car beat familiarly, joined the ranks of Lan Li, and then turned their heads and called on the other friends around them to join in. Gradually, the beats became one.
Robin's face was full of astonishment and confusion, looking at the arms in front of him like a dense forest, listening to the applause like earth-shattering thunder, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet;
Surprisingly, with the rhythm of the beating, the mood couldn't help but fly, that cheerful and happy mood, gradually overflowing in the chest, before I realized it, the smile bloomed, laughed heartily, the cells of the body began to dance, the movements were still a little clumsy, the posture was still a little stupid, but Robin didn't care, just got rid of all the constraints and joined this carnival.
Lan Li on the stage, put down his hands, stepped on the beat briskly, imitated the classic bridge in the "Rain", gave up all control, just gave up his body to the footsteps, wandering wantonly in the beat and melody, the earth-shattering beat, rumbling and rolling, even standing in front of the TV can vividly feel the moving and beautiful soul shock.
Sing as if no one listens, dance as if no one appreciates, live as if today is the end of the world.
Gradually, gradually, the tempo began to pick up, and it seemed that it was breaking away from the control of the audience, running in an unknown direction, and then I saw Lan Li pick up the microphone in his hand, and the bard-like singing voice was chanting, "I won't miss it again, I won't miss it again, I won't miss it again, miss the love of my life." When I die alone, when I die alone, I don't miss it anymore. ”
Not "Ophelia", but "Cleopatra", in this special program, Lan Li ended with a special singing voice, just a short fragment, after singing, Lan Li put down the microphone, gentlemanly performed a knightly salute, expressing gratitude.
Without going into too much detail, the beat of the audience stopped, turning into an "ah" roar, venting all the mixed and deep emotions. At this moment, Rockefeller Square truly transforms into a vast ocean, a vast starry sky, enough to encompass the whole world, enough to compete with the entire universe.
"Today's Show" is over.
Sitting quietly on the couch, still hugging her knees, curled up in a ball, Rooney stared intently at the TV screen, even though the show was over and now cutting to the commercial, waiting to continue the rest of the story, but she was still reluctant to leave the screen, or even blink.
Warm tears quietly gathered, blurring the vision, filling the eyes, but the warmth of the heart was slowly surging; the eyelashes finally could not bear the weight, a teardrop slipped down, and then the smile on the corner of the mouth bloomed wantonly, outlining the shape of happiness, and the transparent tears reflected the taste of sunshine in the smile.
Rooney laughed happily, then picked up the phone next to him, edited a text message, and sent it. Then he stood up, turned around and opened the curtains behind him, and the golden sunlight sprinkled down unhindered, like a rushing waterfall, and the dry and fresh smell permeated the whole room.
Leaving the couch, I found an album on the bookshelf, put it in the player, then turned up the stereo, pressed the play button, and the familiar tune flowed out, it was "Cleopatra" - this album was "Don Quixote", the morning sun, the green dew, the colorful breeze, on a lazy morning, the bard began his long journey.
"Lan Li, your private information. After returning to the standby room of the program team, Nathan took the initiative to greet him, handed Lan Li's mobile phone over, and then sighed with a smile, "Today's performance is really exciting!"
"Thank you. Lan Li took the phone, smiled and thanked him, and then nodded politely with the staff of the program team, and after he was free, he turned on the phone, and it was a text message, no beginning, no signature, just the simplest message, "Do you know the Day of the Dead in Mexico?"
The meaning of the Day of the Dead is that after the death of each life, it will not dissipate, but live in another world, until one day in the future, everyone in the real world has completely forgotten about this person, and he will disappear completely in the true sense. As a result, every year on the Day of the Dead, the residents of Mexico celebrate with great pomp, remembering their family and friends and partying with them.
Every human being will experience death three times in their lifetime. The first time was when the heart stopped beating and he died physiologically, the second time was when the funeral was held and people came to the funeral to remember his life, sociologically he died, and the third time was when the last person who remembered him was completely forgotten, and emotionally he was truly dead.
Lan Li couldn't help but smile, and after quickly replying to the message, he packed up his mobile phone, took another step, and joined the ranks of the crew.
The text message reads: I am longing for a third death.
