Chapter 473: Keeping it True
At the information desk at New York's JFK Airport, Sherman saw off a Chinese man with a translator and chatted with Jessica next to him, saying, "There have been a lot of travelers from Asia in recent days. ”
Jessica nodded, "They're all visitors to the concert in honor of Jaime Sr." ”
"Do you like to listen to old Jaime's songs?" asked Sherman, curious.
"Please. Jessica spread her hands: "Is he older than my grandfather?" but I did hear his songs, and my parents liked to dance with him during family parties, when they were drunk, of course. ”
Sherman smiled and asked, "Whose songs do you like to listen to?"
Jessica said the names of a string of singers: "Many, such as Tyran, Bieber...... Oh, and black holes. ”
"You like black holes too?" Sherman was a little surprised, he and Jessica had known each other for almost two months, but because they lived far away, they didn't have much private contact on weekdays, so he didn't know that Jessica was also a fan of Black Hole.
"What? Don't you think Black Hole doesn't match Tylan and Bieber's painting style?" Jessica shrugged, "My musical tastes are very inclusive. ”
"No, no, it's just that there are very few girls around me who listen to black holes. Sherman smiled and said, "I also like to listen to the songs of black holes." ”
"I have a lot of female friends around me who love the songs of black holes. Jessica blinked and asked, "What's your favorite song about Black Hole?"
Sherman was about to speak, but Jessica stopped him: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let's sing our favorite black hole song together and see if it's the same song, okay?"
"Okay!"
Sherman and Jessica sang the first line in unison, "Hello, is?there anybody in there?"
"comfortably numb!" the two men clapped their hands in cheer.
Sherman shook his head and sighed, "This is my favorite song." ”
"Me too. ”
Sherman looked at her, suddenly in a trance, and his eyes were attracted by her bright smile.
Jessica brushed her loose hair to her ear with some discomfort.
"Excuse me, where is the taxi stand?"
The sudden appearance of the inquiring traveler broke the atmosphere, and the two hurriedly changed into professional smiles and received them.
Seeing off the passengers, the atmosphere was silent again.
Say something, Sherman, this awkward atmosphere will kill you.
After holding it for a long time, Sherman asked, "So, you're a fan of the Black Hole Band?"
As soon as the words came out, Sherman regretted it, why did he say a nonsense?
Jessica didn't care, nodded and said, "That's why I paid attention to this concert, and Black Hole was invited." ”
"Oh, really? I don't know. Sherman just likes to listen to Black Hole's songs and doesn't care much about what they're doing.
"Of course it's true, many of the singers and bands invited to this concert are very famous top musicians, and if it weren't for the difficulty of buying tickets, I would have gone to see it live. ”
She wanted to go to the concert live, but it was difficult to buy tickets...... These two thoughts began to linger in Sherman's mind.
He suddenly made up his mind that he must buy tickets for this concert.
It's definitely not for pickling girls, he just wants to see how difficult it is to buy tickets for this concert!
What he didn't know was that tickets for this concert were really hard to buy, and many Black Hole fans still wanted to support their idols across borders, but found that it was really hard to find a ticket.
In this concert, a total of more than 20 singers and bands participated, each of them is a big-name star with good strength and popularity, but the main audience of this concert is Lao Zhan's fans.
According to the statistics of the ticketing website, the average age of the ticket buyers for this concert is more than 40 years old, which means that a large number of middle-aged and older audiences are the main body of this concert.
Black Hole came to New York a week in advance, adapting to the venue, rehearsing and running-in.
Other singers or bands basically only have two to four songs, and the biggest king has only six songs, while Black Hole needs to sing ten songs.
Frank asked them to present their new album "Rock and Roll Can Never Die" in its entirety.
All four of Fox's leading hosts have been dispatched, and this level is already about the same as the annual Billboard New Year's Eve concert.
The concert began at 8 p.m. in Los Angeles time, and more than 50 countries in Australia, Europe, Asia and other places have purchased broadcast rights from Fox, and will be broadcast live at the same time.
Modu TV, Beijing TV, Xiangcheng TV and other media that are good friends with Xinghai Culture have appointed reporters to come to Times Square for street interviews.
"We could see that thousands of fans came to Times Square and lined up to get in. ”
A reporter from Xiangcheng TV stood at the entrance to report, and behind her was a long queue of people.
She found a random black uncle and interviewed him.
"Hello, where are you from?"
Newark, New Jersey. ”
"Are you a fan of James Howard?"
"Yes, I'm a big fan of his. ”
"What kind of person do you think he is?"
"Well, I think he's a real person, he's like an uncle of mine, you know? My Uncle Jim is a lot like him, they came from a poor background, their environment forced them to go down the path of crime, and my uncle was also in prison for stealing when he was younger, and he was reformed. But unlike old Jaime, he got mixed up with his friends, you know? It was Nigo, who later joined gangs, and sold that kind of stuff, and ran around the streets, and eventually he was shot and killed by the younger Nigo when he was twenty-nine, and he was ...... here."
The reporter's expression twitched a little, she didn't expect this uncle to be a talker, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and hurriedly pulled back: "What about James?"
"Ah, old James is different, he met good people after he went to prison, he believed in God, he learned to love others, he told everybody that happiness is the most important thing, you know? ”
Finally pulled it back, the reporter breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked: "So do you know the Black Hole Band?"
The black uncle nodded: "My son likes them." ”
"And what kind of band do you think they are?"
"Well, I don't know much about them, I've only heard a few of their songs, but I watched the charity global benefit show that year, and they're the initiators and protagonists in Asia, right? That's good, you know? Jesus loves the world, he loves to see this, love is the only thing that can change the world, and in this case, I think they're a band with love, come on! Black Hole Band!"
The more the uncle spoke, the more excited he became, and finally waved his fist at the camera.
began to get out of control again, and the reporter hurriedly pulled the camera back: "This is a concert born of love, just as the big brother said, love can change the world, although James Brown has passed away, but his spirit lives on, I believe there will be more excellent latecomers like the Black Hole Band to inherit his legacy and change the world with love." Don't go away, Xiangcheng Satellite TV will broadcast this concert live for you. ”
The black uncle's head suddenly squeezed into the camera from behind her, yelling at the camera: "Black Hole Band! Keep it real!"
