Matt Irving left the Wall Street Stock Exchange with his briefcase and walked towards the Broadway intersection, where he could see the busy figure of newsstand owner Tim Taylor in the distance, and Matt smiled and said hello, "It's another Monday, is it okay?" ”

A light look of joy appeared on Tim's face, "The summer season has arrived early, and life has started to get busy again, which is naturally very good." "Every year's summer season is also a happy event for newsstands, with endless box office battles and noisy publicity showdowns...... There is always no shortage of headlines on the front pages of newspapers and magazines, and people's enthusiasm for reading has gradually risen with the heating up of summer.

Matt couldn't help but be stunned, "Isn't there still a month left in the summer file?" Today is May 3rd, and Matt looks down at his watch to confirm his thoughts.

"This year started early this week." Tim held up a copy of the New York Times, "Haven't you read this issue of the newspaper yet?" ”

"I have something to go out today, so I haven't had time to ...... today," Matt replied casually, "Give me one." Taking the New York Times, Matt looked at his watch again, "I have business now, I'll talk about it when I come back." After saying goodbye to Tim, Matt walked briskly down Broadway, hailed a taxi, and said "Rockefeller Plaza" before he had time to read the New York Times.

The summer schedule was obviously a big deal a month earlier, and the New York Times devoted an entire page to the cause and effect, and the implications of such a decision for Hollywood as a whole. At the end of the feature, the New York Times listed the films that will premiere in May this year, and the excitement is unprecedented, even more sensational than in June of previous years.

"'The day after tomorrow'?" Matt saw the name of the movie that was about to premiere in Los Angeles this Thursday and chewed on it. Of course he knew about it — after the Super Bowl halftime show. The news about this work has never disappeared from sight, and even if Matt doesn't care much about the greenhouse effect, he can't help but become somewhat interested in the end of the world told in "The Day After Tomorrow".

The speed of the taxi began to slow down gradually. Matt couldn't help but look up, and then he noticed the long queue of cars in front of him. Although poor traffic in Manhattan has become the norm, it is now past 10 a.m., and the rush hour has gradually eased, so why is there still such a crowd?

Matt couldn't help but mutter, and the taxi driver seemed to hear Matt's complaints, and turned around to explain, "Starting at seven o'clock this morning, there were marches in Times Square and Rockefeller Square. More and more, the whole Mid/City area is congested this morning. ”

"Parade?" Matt put the newspaper away, he naturally knew that if there was a large march, the paralysis of traffic would not be alleviated for a while, "And because of Iraq?" "The recent anti-war voices are becoming more and more courageous as the general election moves forward.

"No, because of the greenhouse effect." The driver said with some reluctance that he was clearly more concerned about his livelihood than about the greenhouse effect, "Rockefeller Plaza." It has been occupied by environmentalists, and I have heard the latest news from my companions that at least six thousand people have gathered there in the square. They have been preparing for this parade for a long time, and it seems that today it will last all day. ”

Matt's brows couldn't help frowning, he had business at Rockefeller Square today, and he couldn't afford to delay the time now, "I'll get in the car here, just walk over." "Anyway, there are only a few streets left, so instead of being stuck here, you should walk on your own feet.

After the car. Matt looked left and right at the cars on the street, and he was now standing on Seventh Avenue. If you cross West 43rd Street, Sixth Avenue will definitely be blocked at this time. It's better to keep walking along Seventh Avenue until you turn West 49th Street, which is much faster because you pass Times Square in between, where only foot is allowed and no traffic is allowed. So Matt walked briskly across the street and walked quickly along the street straight ahead.

The streets and alleys of New York are like a chessboard, neatly planned, with great clarity in the east, east, west, and northwest, and the straight roads are often clear at a glance. Half a street ahead, Matt saw the world-famous billboard in the middle of Times Square in the distance - the most conspicuous, expensive and effective billboard in the whole of Times Square, but today, an unusual advertising light appears in the place of the billboard.

On the top of the lamp, three children sat helplessly and dazedly in front of a fireplace, and on the right were Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Alba, two of whom sat back to back on the ground, wrapped in a couch cover, but their bodies were still trembling; Kevin Hart sat on the wall on the left, on top of a thick stack of books, staring at the flames in front of him, dazed. The walls around were covered with a layer of frost, and the frost in the shape of huge snowflakes bloomed on the retro wallpaper, turning the whole room into a castle of snow, even just looking at it, you could feel the cold of the shop and your teeth began to chatter, making people forget that it was already early summer in May.

Right in front of the entire frame, it is written in capital letters, "Take them home"!

The bold and conspicuous font came to the face, bringing the urgency of earnestness to the extreme, and people couldn't help but start worrying: Are these three children forgotten in the corners of the world? When the end of the world comes, will they be alone in some corner of the city? How long can they survive in the cold?

Matt's first reaction was...... Could it be that these three children were separated in Alaska? But after thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible, and if there really was such an incident, it would be correct for the TV news to pay attention to the report, and it would be impossible for parents to buy reads() of advertising space in Times Square;. Immediately afterward, Matt came up with the possibility of "the day after tomorrow" - if he remembers correctly, all three of them appeared in the Super Bowl trailer for "The Day After Tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Matt was a little excited—he immediately linked the Rockefeller Square parade to the billboard in Times Square, and it was clear that they complemented each other. This made Matt a little curious, what kind of publicity the "day after tomorrow" crew would carry out, which made his pace involuntarily start to speed up.

With Matt's pace, the pomp and circumstance of Times Square spread out little by little in sight.

At this time, there was a sea of blue standing neatly in the whole square, and everyone was wearing light blue T-shirts, bustling together, forming a vast and surging ocean. In fact, if you take a closer look, the number of people at the scene is not large, at most less than 1,000 people, but the uniform costume magnifies the advantage of the number of people to the limit, and in a trance, it seems that there are 10,000 people standing in the square, completely submerging Times Square.

After walking in, you can find that the crowd in front of you has a different T-shirt, divided into three styles, printed with the heads of Jack Jessica and Kevin, and then on the book "Take him/her home", they are also holding all kinds of signs in their hands, expressing their thoughts with different tones, languages and ways, calling on the government/government to "take them home".

All of them are creating a sense of authenticity: these three children really need to be saved! It takes everyone to come together and save them home! Just like Ryan in "Saving Private Ryan", even if there is a lot of war, even if there is little hope, even if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, he still unswervingly embarks on the road of saving Ryan, this humanistic care and sincere family affection are really moving.

Even though Matt had realized that this was a movie promotion, he had to admit that at this moment, he was moved, and he had already begun to wonder, what happened to these three children? And how should they save their three children? The despair and shock in the apocalypse are truly shown through the "parents" in front of them.

After entering Times Square, the crowd of onlookers from all directions has completely surrounded the entire Times Square, and at least nearly 3,000 people are standing on the small square, occupying every inch of the square tightly, blocking only the main passage facing Broadway.

Matt took a closer look, only to find that the crowd of onlookers was not only talking, many people were looking regretful, he hesitated for about half a second, and then looked at his watch, after all, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, stopped, and asked a short and fat middle-aged black woman next to him, "Excuse me, what's going on here?" ”

The middle-aged woman's face was full of pity, "The three children were lost, lost in the icy snow, and now they are trapped in a corner that no one knows. God, I heard that the temperature there has reached zero thirty degrees, even worse than in Siberia, who knows how long those three children will be able to hold out. As she spoke, the middle-aged woman sighed, and Matt stood next to her and listened stunned - the middle-aged woman actually explained the matter as if it were a real event.

"You see, the woman was the mother of the black lad, and she had already fainted from crying twice, and the young man's father had died young, leaving only one child to accompany the poor woman, and he was her only dependence. But now that she couldn't find it, she just felt that the whole world had collapsed. Jesus Christ, if this were for me, I would not want to live at all. ”

Following the black woman's instructions, Matt looked over, and then saw a black woman, leaning weakly on her partner, her face pale, and her eyes were stained with tears that had not dried, as if she had cried until there were no more tears, and even her soul had disappeared from her eyes. That kind of grief and despair made all onlookers feel the same way.

This...... Isn't this qiē a movie advertisement, it's all true? (To be continued.) )
