30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Andy looked at a sturdy man in front of the building holding aloft a bronze statue of the armillary ceremony, full of power and spectacular.

Since the birth of Saturday Night Live, it has been a New York landmark, the General Electric Company Building. The 8H studio on the 8th and 9th floors is broadcast live. The GE building was later shortened to 30Rock, which is how the name NBC's comedy "I'm a Comedian" comes from.

Entering the building, Andy and his party were taken up to the 17th floor by the reception staff of the program team.

SNL's writers, producers and other staff are based on the building's 17th floor. The receptionist explained to Andy with a smile.

Andy nodded, indicating understanding, and tightened the case in his hand. Insisting on taking the guitar by himself is also particular, since he appears as a musician, then he must have his persistence, some things cannot be faked by others, such as the musician's own musical instrument, the photographer's machine, etc., since it is your dependence, it should be regarded as a part of the body, of course, this is not pretending to be 13, this is a kind of persistence, a kind of love.

went up to the 17th floor, and the busy and complicated office scene came into view, Andy, as the hottest celebrity in the United States, was naturally warmly greeted by the program team, and also met SNL's ultimate BOOS Lorne Michaels.

introduced and met the screenwriters and producers of the program group one by one, and exchanged a few words of greeting, which can be regarded as a good impression on each other, after all, it is a live broadcast, and they need to cooperate with each other.

Normally, SNL starts streaming every Saturday at 23:29:30 ET, and the show takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish, ending at 1 a.m. You may be a little drowsy at that time, but the show's slogan is definitely exhilarating, because at the end of the opening skit, one of the cast members will desperately shout out: LivefromNewYork, it's SaturdayNight!

The content of Saturday Night Live sketch may be the same as many domestic sketches, simple scenes and costumes, showing a scene that makes people laugh or create some funny characters. Most of SNL's classic jokes are in fact series. People may have a lot of love for some characters or settings.

Andy was taken to the SNL studio hall on the 8th floor for a rehearsal and greeted the program band, because Andy's "500 Miles from Home" score included a violin part, and a violinist was temporarily added to the band.

Andy stood in front of the microphone, holding the guitar and began to play, the music was still beautiful and beautiful, his voice was a little hoarse, which would make the whole song seem more touching and resonate with strangers.

At the end of the singing, the applause of the staff immediately rang out, and the band members also stepped forward to high-five Andy one by one.

The rehearsal in the afternoon went smoothly, and the band's cooperation tended to be proficient, after all, it is a professional who eats this bowl of rice, of course, for Andy's song, it is even more highly respected, and it is said that it can directly parachute into the classic chart.

Andy smiled at other people's compliments, and his heart was also very useful, after all, it was a song written by himself, and he was very happy to be recognized. What? You say plagiarism? You have the ability to cross, cut, and be jealous of you.

Of course, the most excited was naturally Carl, on the side of the studio hall, he turned on his mobile phone early in the morning and dialed the phone number of Universal Music's management, and waited until Andy finished singing, and then walked out of the studio with his mobile phone with a cheap smile.

"How's it going? Absolute classic, Andy is a genius, you know, a singer-songwriter, handsome, fit, just the perfect idol. Carl was very shameless in his sales.

"Of course, Andy's talent is undoubted, but the conditions you said are too harsh, and the contract must be made according to his personal needs, or is it the kind of record that comes out whenever he wants, and he can't even guarantee an album every two years, which affects the interests of the company... ”

Carl heard the other party say this, and after a while, he said, "I can't help this, I just know that Andy has handed in the copyright certification of ten original songs." As for releasing albums or something on a regular basis, I really can't agree to this, you know that young people are sometimes willful, besides, it's okay to release singles or something anyway, look at those singers, aren't they all releasing singles instead of albums to make money or something? As long as we can stabilize him first and let him sign the contract, then there will naturally be fans and fans who will come forward for us to ask him, Andy is still very concerned about the maintenance of fans, how to say it in Chinese, called "A gentleman can be bullied". What? You don't know what it means, as if some good person could deceive him in a reasonable way. ”

"Okay, I'll report to my boss right now, and then we'll have a meeting, but are you sure you can convince Mr. Smith?"

Carl's expression froze, "There should be no problem, after all, he also likes music, and he will agree to such a big degree of contract freedom." ”

。。。。。。

Hanging up the phone, Carl held the phone in his hand, thought for a while, thought about how to fool Andy, and was about to walk back to the studio hall when he saw Andy walking out surrounded by the staff.

"What's wrong? Is the rehearsal over?"

Andy said angrily, "What are you doing outside?

Karl hurriedly explained: "How can you not like it, you are simply moved, this is not an answer to the phone, it is not good to answer the phone inside." So can we leave now?"

"Well, it's okay, come back to the live stream around 9 p.m. Andy carried the piano case, said goodbye to the staff, and walked to the elevator.

in the elevator.

Carl patted Andy's ass with a flattering face, what a talent, a genius, a classic song, so that Andy was speechless, standing in front of Andy Joseph and Kenny looked at each other, it was the first time they knew that Carl, who gave them a shrewd impression, would have such a face.

"Alright, alright, what do you want to do?" Andy glanced at Carl angrily, and in his memory, as long as Carl slapped his ass, he was ready to fool him.

Carl smiled: "I found a new restaurant, the food is good, I invite you to try it, you will definitely like it." ”

“。。。 Hehe, it's strange that vampires are so generous. Andy laughed, knowing very well that Carl, the fat man, was either in trouble or really going to pit himself, but looking at this kind of performance, the matter should not be big, so he didn't ask any questions.

Riding in a Cadillac business car, the group was led by Carl to a family named Jean. George's Manhattan is not a three-star Michelin-starred French restaurant.

In fact, Carl booked a seat very early, knowing that Andy's current preferences have added a tasting food, and if he wants to fool Andy, he must first make himself happy, and it may be easy to do it when he is happy.

Sitting down in the dining room, the floor-to-ceiling glass casting the sunset outdoors into the beautiful scenery of Central Park, Andy smiled at Carl, "Since you're going to have a treat, you're welcome." ”

Under the introduction of the hostess, who was too beautiful to want, Andy began to order, lobster soup, rosemary chicken breast signature dish, foie gras, egg caviar, lamb chops, veal, yellowfin tuna sashimi with avocado sauce, tempura, more than a dozen dishes ordered, Carl's face became darker and darker, and he cursed in his heart, it's over, he was slaughtered by this kid.

Classic egg caviar. The caviar is piled on top of the eggshell, and the bottom is a soup made of egg whites and cream, and the saltiness of the caviar and the soup are perfectly combined with each other.

Foie gras, soft, creamy, aftertaste, a gentle ingredient on the tip of the tongue, with caramel, dried fruits, fish jelly like a warm and sweet kiss of a lover.

Carl watched Andy eat happily and praised from time to time, knowing that he could tell the truth.

"Andy, since you like singing so much, why don't you make a record, and definitely make money. ”

"Hmm, you've negotiated with Universal Music, and the conditions are right. Andy couldn't help but laugh in his heart, sure enough, this dead fat man.

"Listen to me first, the conditions they give are really good, you... What? You agreed?" Karl heard Andy's vague words, thinking that he had refused, and was about to start persuading with a white face, and only after hearing the clear agreement did he ask in surprise.

"Yes, why refuse? This is a good thing, why don't you say yes when someone sends money. Let's talk about the conditions. Andy said casually as he ate.

。。。。。

Weekend night live broadcast hall.

Andy sat in the break room watching the TV show, looking at Carl and Joseph a little speechlessly, Kenny was smiling happily, and the opening skit was two couples having dinner in a restaurant, and then the black chef (White House butler Forest Whitaker, the fourth black Oscar) came out to sing the song, and sang endlessly, creating a series of hilarious words and scenes.

To be honest, Andy can't understand the laughter of the American imperialist people, and some of the stalks don't know the source, they look at it very painfully, and they pretend to be funny, which is simply tormenting.

Time slowly came to Andy's showtime, he combed his hair in the mirror, put on a charming smile, and walked out of the lounge with his guitar in hand.

Applause, screams, the audience at the scene is very face-saving, of course, Andy's popularity in the United States is really high, although he can't be known to everyone, but he is still very famous among young people, after all, he still has a lot of halo on his head.

The scene quieted down, Andy secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the originally excited mood slowly calmed down.

The simple guitar accompaniment tugs at the heartstrings of the audience in front of the TV, and the slightly trembling voice chants touch the souls of everyone. The feelings between the lines bring everyone's spiritual impact and shock.

The anxious and contradictory mentality when leaving his hometown, leaving his hometown is more keen, and he doesn't dare to say goodbye.

Moved, at this moment everyone was moved by Andy's music.

Applause, warm applause, whether it was a standing ovation from the audience or an unemotional applause from the audience in front of the TV.

Andy touched and accepted the applause of the audience, and he was unusually calm at this moment, because he understood that this was the way it should be, after all, as a classic song that has been sung in the world for decades in the previous life, has endured, and is known as the most covered song, this repercussions have only just begun.
