Chapter 1579 - Fiery and Continuous
72_72291At this time, outside the BBC studio, thousands of people gathered, making the surrounding passages bustling and crowded. The studio is home to Kilroy, a talk show that has been broadcast five times a week since 1986 and is currently one of the most popular talk shows in the UK.
Obviously, the crowd in front of me came to participate in the recording of "Kilroy". If this qiē happened in Los Angeles or New York, then it is probably not uncommon, but if it happened in London, it is shocking.
Compared with the madness and persistence of the entertainment industry in the United States, the black humor and self-mockery in the genes of the British are destined to make it difficult for them to scream wildly without brains. Therefore, it is tantamount to fantasy to want the British to get up early in the morning and gather outside the studio, just to participate in the recording of one episode of the show. The exceptions, of course, were the Beatles.
In fact, Chris Martin (Chris. Martin arrived at the studio before 9 p.m. last night, and he was still not the first, and when he arrived at the scene, there were already more than 50 people in line in front of him, which made Chris stunned. Since then, the crowd has been surging towards the studio, and more than 500 people have gathered after midnight, and the whole scene is brightly lit, sleepless and lively.
Chris stood up and stretched, an all-night night was nothing to him—he was only nineteen years old, after all; What's more, he couldn't sleep at all last night because he was so excited, and Chris could hear his blood pounding clearly just by thinking of being able to see Hugo on the scene today.
Looking left and right at the similar faces—tired but unable to hide the excitement in his eyes, Chris's emotion couldn't help but jump again, and he pulled his fellow travelers sitting cross-legged at his feet, "Guy, Guy, we're about to get ready to enter." ”
Guy Berryman Berryman also quickly stood up, looked towards the entrance of the studio, and said excitedly, "Really? Are you sure? Although the studio doors were still only closed, and there was no sign of Chris's claim, Guy didn't care, jumping in place like on a trampoline in an amusement park, making it hard to believe that he was eighteen years old, not eight.
Chris and Guy were not long ago at University College London (UY. college。 london), both of whom were students here, and the two people, who had nothing to do with each other, met unexpectedly because of their passion for rock and roll. After getting to know each other, they realized that their favorite bands were so similar: the Norwegian pop band A-Ha, the British alternative rock band James, and the American neo-metal rock band Glory to the Death.
Similar musical tastes have allowed them to find a common language, Chris has a soft spot for the guitar and has also been immersed in the keyboard for many years; Guy, on the other hand, had a slight dabbling in guitar but knew more about bass, and later they met Jon Buckland. Bu), who is also fond of A-ha and a lead guitarist of Glory to Death, much to the chauffeur of several young people.
The peak of the A-ha band was in the early eighties, and after entering the nineties, it had completely declined, and no one cared about them at all; The James band is not a mainstream rock band either, and the most successful is only the album released in 1992, which has received very limited attention; Although Glory to Death is popular in the United States, before last year, the band could only be regarded as a "non-mainstream" band in the UK, and it was not at all comparable to the attention attracted by the Goatskin Band, the Tainted Band, and the Oasis Band.
It can be said that the bands that these young people like are all on the wrong side, but they have come together, and the like-minded taste has given them the idea of forming a band of their own, as if they are glorious to death. However, the band lacked a drummer, but Chris didn't care, because "Glory to death was also lacking drummers, and Fokine only joined the band at the last minute", and he can be said to know the experience of glory to death.
So the three young people formed a band at University College London, tentatively named Coldplay, looking for the band's drummer and dreaming of their own music - they wanted to be a band that would be like Glory to Death, create their own music, and be part of changing the world's music landscape through their own efforts.
When they learned that "Independence Day" came to London to promote, the three young people of Coldplay were simply overjoyed, although they knew that Hugo was here for the promotion of the movie, but they all wanted to communicate with Hugo in person, exchange their endless musical ideas in their heads, exchange their persistence and dreams of music, and exchange their views on music that is glorious to death...... However, they ignore one thing: as the world's top artist today, Hugo's ripple effect is far beyond imagination.
Whether it is an actor or a singer, Hugo's influence in the British Isles is far ahead, and even the glory to death, which was once rejected and despised by the British music scene, has become a high-profile band - so the Oasis Band is not disrespectful to the glory to death, if the glory to death is still unknown in the UK, the Oasis band's remarks will not stir up waves at all.
So, it's almost impossible to meet Hugo head-on, let alone talk to him directly, much to Chris's frustration.
However, the good news came right away, Hugo will take the crew of "Independence Day" to the recording of the talk show "Kilroy", which was run by old-school talk show host Robert Kilroy. kilroy).
Robert's style is slightly different from the style of British ridicule, he is not aggressive, more to discuss some topics closely related to people's lives, Robert is very patient, can even be said to be warm, like a psychiatrist, to bring some love and hope to the audience, but Robert still has the black humor of the British in his bones, he will always quietly mobilize the participants to quarrel and debate, while he watches the fire from the other side, and finally concludes that "we quarrel and quarrel, but in the end we are still friends, please take care." ”
Every episode of "Kilroy" is broadcast live, and the unpredictable emergencies on the scene are also one of the highlights, especially Robert's unruly control, which is even more praised. This unique style has earned Robert's talk show a lot of love and is currently the ratings king of the morning show.
The show can accommodate more than 300 viewers, and the audience can also participate in the talk show topics and interact with the guests and hosts, so there are always many viewers who want to appear on the show and become a part of the show.
Chris immediately planned to go to the recording site of "Kilroy", hoping to get the opportunity to communicate with Hugo on the spot, Guy and Jon naturally did not want to miss this opportunity, and the three of them decided to go to the recording site together.
Due to the situation in the past few days, there has been a lot of news about the "Independence Day" crew and about Hugo, and Chris has witnessed the exaggerated crowd at the premiere, so they all decided to come to the studio in advance and wait. But they still misestimated the enthusiasm of the British people, usually to participate in the recording of "Kilroy", it is enough to arrive at the scene at nine o'clock, but Chris came twelve hours early, still not the first, and last night's surging crowd was an eye-opener for Chris.
"Chris, Chris!" Jon sprinted all the way over, like Hot Wheels, his hands kept picking up the circle, using the muscles of his whole body to show his excitement, just now Jon went to the bathroom to solve his physiological needs, and now his expression seemed to be too happy, making Chris and Guy both look stunned, but Jon's next words made the two of them unable to suppress their feelings.
"I saw the car, the car of the 'Independence Day' crew has entered the parking lot!"
Jon's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm pond, and in an instant it exploded, and everyone else around them was buzzing, Chris and Guy were stunned, and jumped up and jumped with Jon, they couldn't even say anything at this time, just jumped and shouted excitedly.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he is always surging with endless vigor and vitality, with an unparalleled enthusiasm.
At this time, Chris and his party were only a small part of the surroundings of the studio, looking at the endless crowd at the door, it was roughly estimated that there were at least 1,200 people, and the person in charge of the program team of "Kilroy" couldn't help but feel a little headache - of course, the trouble of happiness.
Although it was expected that the "Independence Day" crew would appear in the show, which would definitely attract countless audiences to participate in the recording, the actual situation still far exceeded expectations. The studio had been sized to accommodate 400 people on site, but today there were more than 1,000 people on site, a sight unprecedented in the history of the show – a sight that had never been seen before in the history of British television to be exact.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, please be quiet." The sound of a horn at the door of the studio gradually calmed down the commotion, but the residual heat in the air still made people clearly feel the intense heat, this should be the hottest summer in the UK's history. "Please line up to enter the venue in the order of arrival at the scene, I hope you maintain the order and quiet, and ensure that the show can start recording as soon as possible, otherwise you will miss the live broadcast, which is a result that none of us want to see."
The program team did not mention how many people were allowed to enter, which was a wise choice, otherwise how to deal with the more than 800 viewers who had no way to enter was definitely a headache. "Alright, now let's get in!"
Chris couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart again, clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth and roared, about to see Hugo's reality with his own eyes, which made him uncontrollable excited
