Chapter 113: Opening Soon

"The Ellen Show", as a daytime entertainment show, is destined to be dominated by the topic of light entertainment, and for most of today, Ellen is also chatting with Britney about her ordinary life outside the spotlight.

Allen's gags and jokes from time to time also heated up the atmosphere of the scene, making the audience and Britney Spears happy.

And after seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Alan took the initiative to speak: "Britney, I know you're not just here to meet me, your favorite comedian, right?"

Hearing Allen's question, Britney's face suddenly turned serious and nodded, "Yes, I came to you today for some other things." ”

"I think most people should know that we're going to have a charity concert at Yankee Stadium in New York on October 11th. ”

As soon as Britney's words fell, the audience remembered a whole round of warm applause.

"I know a lot of big names are coming, right?" Alan asked.

"Not bad. Britney nodded, "We've got U2, Backstreet Boys, Bob Dylan, Linkin Park, Christina Aguilera, Kid Arthur, Shakira and Kelly Clarkson, a total of eight amazing artists." ”

Britney has a name every year, and the audience at the scene exclaimed, and Alan couldn't help but be disgusted, "This lineup is really luxurious." ”

"Yes, we are also grateful that so many amazing artists have come forward in such a short period of time, and all of them are performing for free, and we will donate all the proceeds from the charity concert to the families of the victims. Britney's words once again drew applause and applause from the audience.

In the context of 911, any act of kindness will be magnified several times, let alone such a big action as Britney and the Fire Lion?

Even Warner's CNN, its sworn enemy, had to chant on the news program, "Well done, Britney!"

Although "The Ellen Show" is a new talk show, but with the east wind of Britney and the charity concert, Ellen and "The Ellen Show" immediately became a popular talk show of the new generation.

At the same time, the October issue of "Vogue" magazine was finally released, and the smiling Britney Spears lying on the American Star-Spangled Banner on the cover really hit the hearts of the public, and the current issue of "Vogue" was sold out as soon as it was published.

But this is only a prelude.

October 11, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York.

Home to the famous New York Yankees baseball team, it's a source of pride for New Yorkers and a legend in baseball, and today, it's home to another group of superstars and singers who are making the world famous.

"I'm so grateful to all of you for being here at One-Love-Ne-York. Backstage, all the guests were in a circle, and Britney was talking to everyone with a microphone.

Everyone looked at her intently, and Sid stood beside Britney with a relieved expression.

"All the staff and the audience today are courageous and amazing, and I want to bring them a great show, to New York, to North America, and I can't do that alone, so I hope you can lend me your strength, thank you. ”

Britney's generous speech made the big-name stars around the circle can't help but secretly raise their eyebrows, it seems that this little sweetness is not as stupid and sweet as some media say.

"Sid?" After saying that, Britney looked at Sid beside her.

Sid smiled and shook his head, then looked at Bob Dylan, the god of folk on the other side of him, "Old man Dylan, do you want to say a few words?"

"I'll forget it, let's start quickly, or the audience will be in a hurry. Bob Dylan waved his hand lightly, "Also, I didn't let you call me Bob, Sid Kid." ”

Bob Dylan's words made everyone laugh, and Sid had to smile and nodded, "Okay, Bob, let's get started." ”

In order to prepare for today's charity concert, not only the entire Fire Lion Group mobilized to prepare for related matters.

The New York City Police Department and the FBI have also deployed a large number of police personnel to carry out related security work in order to prevent accidents, and they have not only set up tight security and security checks inside and outside Yankee Stadium.

And in order to ensure maximum safety, the New York Police Department even cordoned off three nearby neighborhoods to conduct strict checks on vehicles entering and exiting, and FBI helicopters in the air are also circling and patrolling, and the battle formation is amazingly large.

After all, 911 has only happened for a month, and the clouds of war and terror are still lingering, and you can feel the tense atmosphere even if you walk on the streets of New York, let alone deliberately choose a charity concert on October 11th.

In almost every sense, the concert hosted by Sid and Britney has become a "public target".

"Wow——, how many people are there!" During backstage preparations, Britney Spears and Kylie Clarkson sneaked to the side of the front desk to take a look, and were immediately shocked by the crowded stadium.

Today, not only the residents of New York City, but also many people from surrounding states and cities, whether they came to see the stars or to support New York's reconstruction, and finally the huge Yankee Stadium was packed with more than 60,000 spectators!

That's even more than the Yankee Stadium itself can hold an audience that huddles the front of the concert stage. In order to divert the crowd and allow more people to watch the performance, the Fire Lion also set up three huge rear projection screens in the center of the stadium.

And all the spectators, just standing in the grassy square, even if they didn't do anything, few people complained, many people simply sat in a circle, and the live performances were broadcast live on Fire Lion TV and NBC One.

The concert started at 3 p.m., and although it was daylight in the afternoon, it was still a little chilly in New York in October, but standing in the stadium made people feel a little warm.

Before the concert began, NBC reporters interviewed the audience in the venue, and there were many audiences of all ages, and even many of them were in the formation of the whole family, which was quite surprising.

After all, it has only been a month since the 911 attacks, and the police and the FBI are like great enemies, and people can feel the tension in the air, but the atmosphere at the concert is not as heavy as imagined.

In interviews, many young people said that it was because 911 was an unprecedented disaster that they wanted to come to the scene to support the victims in New York City.

Suddenly, a man's voice said through the stereo: "Good evening, New York, here is the concert organizer, we are about to start this global broadcast concert, the concert will start in 5 minutes, thank you for waiting, please wait a moment." ”

"Oooh!!" "Whoa-hoo-"

Immediately there was a shout from all over the crowd that the concert was about to begin.
