Chapter 637 [Peak Popularity]
They were driving slowly in the car, and through the windows they could see that the road on both sides was completely closed. Police cars with "NYPD" printed on them were on duty on both sides of the restricted road, and groups of Americans in winter coats passed by holding glow sticks and looking festive.
As far as the eye can see, it's all movie scenes. If you're a die-hard movie fan, you can find a shot in a movie if you look for a random surface building.
"Look, the road over there is also under martial law, and the performance stage should be in front of it. "The stage is being prepared in the middle of Times Square, and in a few hours, it will be the stage for the carnival.
"Wow, that's a lot of people. ”
"About two million people will come to the concert today. ”
"Why don't we get out of the car and walk over?" ”
LULU SAID: "I'M AFRAID WE'LL HAVE TO WALK OVER, THE HOTEL IS NOT FAR AHEAD." ”
"So what are you waiting for, just walk and look at the street scene outside. Peng Yuyan opened the car door and walked down first. A chill came to their faces, but it couldn't stop their excitement. There was still an hour before the rehearsal, and it was already dark. The road was crowded with people, and the police had already pulled the cordon.
Seeing them walking in a special passage, there were still cameras following, and many New Yorkers took the initiative to come over and rub the camera, shouting at the camera, "Happy ne year!"
It's very lively.
After a while, I finally came to the hotel, and the room was bustling. Chen Ergou sat in the middle of the sofa in a turtleneck sweater, and several big names gathered together to eat and drink. Looking at it, the audience almost didn't go blind.
"Dizzy~"
Isn't that profligate skeleton laughing and eating pizza with long legs? Isn't the huge aura in the middle the former representative of the American dream, America's No. 1 idol Britney Spears?! Oh yes, there is a video of her covering Hall of fame circulating on YouTube.
In one corner, there was an INS queen Selena, and Xiao Jia who came with her. This guy's personality hasn't collapsed yet, and now he's super popular. But Chen Ergou didn't know him very well, he came with him like a fart.
Chen Ergou was eating, when he heard the movement and looked back, he stood up and gave Xiao Peng a hug, and said with a smile on his face: "You are here." Why did you just come here now and have dinner?"
Peng Yuyan said with a smile: "The road is very blocked, many roads are under martial law, and we have come here." ”
"Oba, long time no see, Happy New Year. Yuna greeted shyly.
"Yun'a, you also have a happy new year. Wearing so few clothes, can't you come outside? I couldn't help but say, I took off my military coat and put my down jacket on the girl.
Yuna stood obediently, "Thank you, Oba." ”
Chen Ergou turned around and introduced the two sides.
Mildew is very face-saving and greets them warmly. Peng Yuyan was okay, but Yun'er was completely frozen, looking excited to see her idol.
"It's so humiliating, relax, we're all friends. ”
Chen Ergou handed over a few pieces of pizza and shared them with everyone. Yuna sat quietly beside him with a piece of pizza and watched him chat with these big names. "I'm performing for the first time, do you have any suggestions?"
"You haven't discussed the show yet?" Selena was surprised.
"I don't have time. It's been too busy lately. ”
Thinking of the recent news, everyone nodded sympathetically.
Xiao Jia warmly recommended: "Arthur is nearby, I can introduce him, maybe he is willing to sing rap." ”
Britney suddenly said, "Arthur, you are not familiar with you, it's too troublesome." What time do you start performing?" Chen Ergou's eyes lit up, Britney's figure was a little out of shape, but she was so popular back then, and she was still a frequent Grammy after a little less popularity over the years. If you can lose weight, you can return to the peak of popularity with only one or two songs, and working with her is definitely a lift. The two of them combined, Chen Ergou was nine o'clock, and Britney was not far apart, so she could only regret missing it.
Mildew couldn't help but speak: "Why don't I sing with you, I'll sing the rap part." The rap of the female version of Hall of Fame, haha, it's fun to think about. As he spoke, he came to a paragraph. is worthy of being the future queen of pop, even if she is not very good at rap, she can come easily.
"Are Eddie and Yoona joining your band as well?" asked Mildew, whose English name is Peng Yuyan.
Chen Ergou said: "I have an appointment with the band, but since you are all here, don't be idle." Yoona is an idol singer. Little fish, I remember you also released an album, right? What instruments do you all know?"
Peng Yuyan said helplessly: "I originally debuted as a singer, but then the album couldn't sell before I transformed into an actor." However, last year, it was so popular that the company released an EP for me. In terms of instruments, the bass is not bad. ”
"That's it. ”
"I'm late for the show, so I'm just going to help you debug it." ”
Peng Yuyan felt even more ridiculous, "What does this mean?" Dog, I'm here to come to New York for a vacation, to see a show, and you let me go on stage? New York Times Square? Is this appropriate? ”
"It's all here, let's try it. ”
"Yuna, I've also seen the cover version of you and Jessica and Tipani, so I should have no problem playing the piano. ”
"I ...... Me?" Yun'er was even more confused, and couldn't help but look at the agent who came next to her. The agent had already been pleasantly surprised, nodding desperately, and he was not afraid of a broken neck.
In fact, Yuna came to New York only for temporary fashion activities, and the company is fighting for Dior's endorsement for her. It's New Year's Day soon, and as a singer group, it's naturally even busier, and today Girls' Generation still has a very important New Year's Day performance stage in South Korea, but when she left, she received an invitation call from Chen Ergou, and she didn't say anything, just said to get together together.
Of course, she wanted to get together and talk to her agent.
The broker is unsure of the attention and can only seek the company's decision. As a result, the senior management of SM Company attached great importance to it, and as soon as it was total, they did not hesitate to let her leave the group, "Don't worry about going to meet friends, don't worry about performances." Try to behave well, be close to Hero, do whatever he tells you to do, and don't make your friends angry. ”
"What does this mean? It's so obvious, I almost say it directly. As the face of the company's top girl group, the company has always been more protective of them, and this is the first time I have heard this kind of request. The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, let alone in the fiercely competitive South Korea. Although Yun'er is young, she is not stupid and sweet. Yuna blushed a little, and wanted to tell the company that it wasn't that way, that they really were friends.
It's just that I didn't expect to be able to appear on the stage of the New Year's Eve concert in Times Square in New York. If my sisters knew the news, they would be crazy with envy.
Seeing that the performance time was approaching, everyone also said goodbye one after another, leaving Moldy to go to the rehearsal together.
Several people have practiced together a few times, and the effect is still lively, but they are becoming more and more proficient.
Chen Ergou doesn't pursue how good it is, anyway, there is a professional band invited by the moldy company to make mistakes, and he is not afraid of mistakes. He didn't exert much force, and cooperated with the two of them to perform, seeing that the effect seemed to be okay, and it also made Peng Yuyan and Yun'er feel a little calm.
As the time approached, the popularity of the live broadcast room began to rise like crazy. This lively and energetic topic completely surpassed the New Year's Day party of several local media last night.
The editors of the major entertainment sections are completely crazy, desperately typing and sending news.
The barrage is even more crazy, "Chen Ergou won glory for the country", "Famous overseas Chen Ergou", "XX invincible Chen Ergou"...... Hey, what's getting in again.
"Almost, let's go to the stage and take a walk. ”
"Are you going to go out, go to the stage! Whew~ Suddenly so nervous. Peng Yuyan let out a long sigh, "Don't practice more?"
Chen Ergou patted Peng Yuyan's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's already great, you see that Yun'er is not nervous." ”
Yuna showed a stiff smile, "...... Oba, I'm too nervous to speak. ”
Mildew also comforted: "I think we are OK, we will start in thirty minutes, we have to get familiar with the stage first." ”
The stage is right next to the hotel, and there is a specially opened stage entrance passage right outside the door.
At a distance of about 100 meters, it was difficult to move forward under the escort of the police. In Times Square, where the water is impassable, the dense audience on both sides saw Chen Ergou appear and frantically shouted his name.
Some held up posters of him, others waved glow sticks, and some held up mobile phones with the icon of Wotsip. There are even crazy young people who lift their shirts and show their abs to the camera. There are also many Chinese figures, waving small red flags in their hands.
Chen Ergou laughed when he saw it, because this guy had a silhouette photo of him climbing on his belly. Walk over and give the excited fan a high-five, then be isolated by the bodyguards.
Peng Yuyan and Yun'er said "Happy New Year" to each other with every strange audience, and they were a little dizzy when they walked less than 100 meters, looking at Chen Ergou who was waving to the audience enthusiastically in front of them, as if there was a halo shrouded in them. Under the shroud of the "dog's aura", the sense of self-confidence has gradually improved.
Standing on a high stage to watch, the audience is even more crowded, and you can't see the edge at a glance. Later, huge electronic screens on both sides will send the show to a dozen nearby blocks, so that millions of people can see it at the same time. And it will be broadcast live on TV for at least one billion viewers around the world.
The scene was lively, and the live broadcast room was even more "boiling".
At this moment, the domestic audience is the most empathetic, knowing that he is very popular in the United States, but he is not talking.
The sailors were all in a trance, "Unconsciously, the kid who walked out of the wilderness has grown to this point." ”
At 8 p.m. on December 31, U.S. time, with the appearance of Ryan, the host host of Rock Night, and Jenny McCarthy, Lucy Hale, and Ciara, the 13-hour time difference between Europe and the United States, the New York Times Square New Year's Eve Concert kicked off.
Temperatures of minus 3 degrees Celsius could not resist the enthusiasm of the audience, and tens of thousands of tourists from all over the United States and millions of New Yorkers witnessed the arrival of the new year.
Mariah Carey, known as the "Dolphin Queen", appeared on the main stage of New York's Times Square before the countdown to zero o'clock in a translucent sexy performance costume and a white furry coat, and sang her representative "HERO" and "Vision of Love" songs.
