In the last life, Lance met many different people on Broadway in New York, including a member of a former idol group, which was naturally not a backstreet boy, Super Boy or something like that, it was only a small group in the third line, and it was disbanded after only a few years of establishment.

After leaving the group, the member was in a state of confusion, from his early twenties to his early thirties, and he was overwhelmed for ten years, "I always miss the lights, the screams, the screams, and the crowds, but when I open my eyes, no one cares who I am." At that moment, I always wanted to end my life. ”

It was difficult for Lance to comprehend this mentality before, because he could not imagine the shock and afterglow of "closing your eyes and feeling the cries of thousands of people echoing in your ears"; But today, the subtle contrast and loss in his heart gave Lance the first taste of this wonderful and bitter taste.

It seems that everyone is trying to prove their own existential value, hoping that they will go down in history, their name will be immortalized, and the swarming cheers and distorted faces that have lost control will easily make self-esteem and self-confidence begin to swell rapidly, break free from the shackles of gravity little by little, and begin to float, so that they forget their original dreams, their initial beginnings, and their initial persistence.

Lance thought that he was a human being, and that he had already seen through all the prosperity; But now it seems that there are many, many things that he has not experienced.

Walking into the hall on the first floor, a group of four people immediately greeted them, with a neat suit, a polite and decent smile, a non-humble and non-arrogant attitude, and a warm and warm welcome lineup that would not be overly flattering. The two men stepped forward to take Percy's briefcase and suit, which made Percy a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Strello, welcome to the NBC studio, the entire 'Tonight Show' crew is looking forward to your arrival." The beautiful woman in a tight short skirt suit walked up with a smile on her face and politely gave Lance a veneer salute, "I'm Cindy, the assistant of the program team, please allow me to lead the way for you." ”

The last time I came to record "The Tonight Show" was in February last year, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed, but things have changed dramatically. At that time, when Lance and Percy came to the recording building, even the doorman didn't know him, and Percy even almost got angry because of the doorman's attitude, and then Lance also had a hand-to-hand encounter with a makeup artist, and that experience was not bad, but it was definitely not good.

Today, however, there is a world of difference.

Lance smiled and nodded to Cindy, didn't say anything, and directly motioned for the other party to lead the way. The footsteps followed Cindy all the way forward, and when he passed the front desk, Lance stopped, and Cindy took two steps forward, only then did he notice the strangeness behind him, and turned around and looked at him suspiciously, "Mr. Strello, the elevator is directly ahead." ”

Lance stood elegantly and gentlemanly in place, turning his head to look at the front desk staff, "I remember that I needed to register and then get my pass before I could enter the building." Percy immediately realized what Lance meant, straightened his back and walked politely to the front desk, "Lancelot Strello, Percy Brandley, came for the recording of 'The Tonight Show.'" ”

The front desk staff was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and turned to look at Cindy at a loss.

Cindy's smile couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and she walked back, several thoughts flashed through her mind, and the first thought was to answer "You don't need to register, after all, everyone knows who you are", but after thinking about it, this answer was faintly inappropriate, so she bit the tip of her tongue, suppressed the embarrassment that flashed in an instant, and said calmly, "Mr. Strello, I have already registered just now." "The handling of emergencies is very sensible and at the same time non-aggressive.

Lance didn't seem to notice anything unusual in the air, "That's good, I don't want to interfere with his work." After saying that, he nodded politely to the front desk staff, and then took another step, walking in front of Cindy.

Cindy hurriedly gave the front desk a look and quickly followed; Percy, however, stayed where she was, politely saying to the front desk staff, "Please give me our passes, thank you." The gentle words of etiquette were in place, but there was a slight spark in the air.

Once again, the elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor, and the memories in my mind were awakened little by little as the familiar studio scene unfolded in front of my eyes. Following Cindy's guidance, Lance soon entered the waiting room, and before he could sit down, the on-site director and screenwriter of "The Tonight Show" both came over to greet him, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and that kind and familiar expression created a warm atmosphere of home, as if Frans and they had known each other for a long time.

"Of course, of course, when Brad first talked to me about the promotional trip, my first thought was 'The Tonight Show,' because it was my first time in my life and it meant something special to me. Even if you don't invite you, I'd like to include it in my promotional itinerary. "All the qiē today is fresh, and the contrasts are so stark that it is impossible to ignore, but after the initial fluctuations, Lance's feelings quickly calmed down, and he talked and laughed freely.

Looking at Lance, who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, Percy stood next to him, didn't hold back, and rolled his eyes.

The last time I came to record the show, Lance sat here and no one cared about it, just like an ordinary **** audience participating in the recording of the show; From beginning to end, Lance never greeted the director or screenwriter, and the two sides never introduced themselves to each other at all; Lance didn't give any advice on the promotional itinerary of "Killing with a Knife", anyway, recording programs, attending radio stations, and attending events, probably the process is the same, Paramount must be more professional than Lance......

At this point, a whole team of at least six people came into the room.

Percy turned his head to look over, and immediately saw their identities, they were stylists, hairstylists and makeup artists, knowing that Lance currently did not have a private styling team, and the "Tonight Show" actually configured a full team of six people, such treatment was indeed extraordinary. However, after a closer look, Percy did not find the makeup artist who had a conflict with Lance last time, and it seems that the "Tonight Show" program team definitely does not know anything...... Looking at the smiling screenwriter next to him, Percy wisely closed his mouth and continued to maintain his facial paralysis style.

"It's up to you to record today's show, and we're all looking forward to it." The director of the scene was ready to leave, but the screenwriter still stayed, took the initiative to take a photo with Lance, and then reluctantly left the dressing room.

"Percy." Lance's call unmummified Percy gestured to the suit on the couch before walking towards the locker room. Percy hurriedly took the suit he had prepared, so that Lance could change into a set of clothes.

Coming out of the locker room, Lance saw that the entire standby room was crammed, Tom Cruise put his left ankle directly on his knee, and his legs were greatly cocked, with a big smile on his face, surrounded by three people behind him, busy with his hairstyle, and directly in front of him there was a person sitting on a low bench, trimming his nails; Jay Renault, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was constantly shaking his head, a little helpless but with a hint of funny, and there were two people sitting not far away, their eyes focused on Jay and Tom, looking like assistants.

Next to the sofa, two stylists are instructing four assistants to put out the clothes separately and choose the clothes with great fanfare; There were also two bodyguards in black suits standing at the door, guarding the door tightly; In the midst of the surging crowd, Percy stood alone at the door of the locker room, expressionless, but always felt a little twitch between his eyebrows......

Compared with Tom's mighty lineup, Lance brought Percy alone, and this combination comparison is really ...... The gap is too big.

"Hey, Lance is out." The stylist noticed Lance's movement first, "That'...... Then we'll choose a black suit...... "Obviously, they were waiting for Lance's outfit and then choosing Tom's outfit for today based on Lance's look. "But that's too simple, or the dark gray stripes?"

Today, Lance chose a retro suit with dark red Scottish checks, with a black shirt, low-key but faintly flamboyant, the hair that gradually grew was combed up according to the hairline, and the broken hair on the forehead was all erected with hair wax, showing the facial features unabashedly, energetic and handsome and elegant.

"Oh, our hero is here." Tom couldn't stand up, but he raised his hands in the air and applauded in welcome.

Hearing the voice, Jie got up and greeted him, "In order to wait to meet you again, I have waited and waited, and two years will pass in a blink of an eye." Jie had a polite but intimate smile on his face, but his simple words seemed very straightforward, without deliberately avoiding the time gap, without deliberately narrowing the distance between each other, all of them were just right, "Who would have thought that when we met again, you and Tom would already be on the same level." ”

Compared to others, Jay's number of stages is even higher.

"Tom is going to be unhappy when you say that." Lance's response, short and powerful, immediately made Jahaha laugh, and Tom, who was trapped in his chair, spread his hands, "Hey, I'm still here!" When he had finished speaking, Tom said solemnly, "If you want to praise me, you'd better wait for me to leave." Laughter rang out again in the standby room.

"It seems that you are all ready. Today's show, I can not worry about it. Jay nodded constantly, then clenched his fist and said in a loud voice, "I'm ready to fire on all cylinders!" "That funny expression really makes people laugh. (To be continued.) )
