"Good Morning America" is a morning news program on the ABC television network. As a for-profit commercial television station, in order to pursue ratings, the content of "Good Morning America" is not completely boring news broadcasts, but very flexible.

In addition to the hot news that the public pays attention to, there are also many anecdotes, celebrity interviews and even variety games in the show, and occasionally big-name singers are invited to perform live on the street.

The weekend version of "Good Morning America" is only an hour long, and it is broadcast live at 7 a.m. in all time zones.

Inside an apartment building on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Towards seven o'clock, Jennifer Raybould crept out of her room and cautiously went downstairs, only to find her father, James Raybould, sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

Shrinking her neck, Jennifer wanted to retreat quietly, but James Raybould had already noticed her daughter, and pointed directly to the sofa opposite without raising her head: "Jenny, come." ”

"Dad, it's morning. ”

I had to dispel the idea of slipping away, said hello, and obediently walked over and sat down opposite my father. After a moment's hesitation, Jennifer picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV in the living room, and tuned to ABC channel.

James Raybould watched his daughter's movements and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It's just that he suddenly thought of something, James looked at his daughter who was already slim on the other side, but he didn't open his mouth to reprimand, but just asked, "Why did you suddenly come back yesterday, and it's so late?"

Jennifer glanced at the TV screen before turning to her father and said, "There are some temporary things, I will arrive in New York at half past five, and I will come back after I finish it." ”

James Raybould waited for a moment, but saw that his daughter did not continue to explain, and did not ask any more questions.

The little girl has grown up in the end.

From Jennifer's insistence that she go to Los Angeles to work instead of staying at her couple's office in New York, James Raybould realized that the discipline of his daughter had been a little too strict over the years. Although they do not regret doing this, their daughter has grown up, and the Raybould couple understand that it is time to let the child go on his own.

Thinking so, James Raybould changed the subject and asked in a gentle tone, "I was on the phone with Professor Robertson last week, and he thought your paper was doing a great job, so tell me about it." ”

Jennifer's attention turned to the TV screen again, and she was a little absent-minded: "Dad, it's Saturday, can we stop talking about these things?"

James Raybould looked at his daughter, suddenly a little more real, and some discomfort from the father's instinct, and asked tentatively, "Jenny, are you in love?"

Jennifer was stunned, her face was inexplicably a little red, but she shook her head, didn't look at her father's eyes, and said, "Dad, no." I'm just, well, a little tired, shall we watch TV?"

James Raybould smiled, simply put the newspaper in his hand aside, and said, "Okay, watch TV." ”

On the TV screen, "Good Morning America" has begun, and after a few mainstream news, the picture moves to a studio.

Jennifer looked at the large poster of "Lola Run" in the studio, and suddenly lifted her spirits.

This is the result of her repeated insistence yesterday, and she officially signed a contract for it.

Although the contents of the cassette belonged to that guy, the copyright was in her hands. If it were someone else, owning such a cassette of videotapes, it would not be much to ask a TV network for $100,000. So the only condition she made to Robert Iger and the ABC was that it had to be broadcast on "Good Morning America" this morning, or she would contact other stations.

James Raybould noticed what was on the TV screen and his daughter's reaction, and his mood suddenly improved.

It turns out that it's not in love, it's chasing stars.

Still, James said, "Is this the Simon Westeros work? ”

Jennifer couldn't help but retort: "Dad, can't you see that all the news is rigged? They just don't want "Lola Run" to be too high at the box office." ”

James Raybould smiled and didn't argue with his daughter, and also focused on the TV screen.

In the studio, Charles Gibson, the host of "Good Morning America", sat on a sofa on one side and smiled and gestured behind him, saying to the audience: "Seeing this poster, everyone must have guessed our topic today." Still, I'll say that you're all absolutely wrong. ”

In the confusion of everyone, Charles Gibson briefly introduced: "As we all know, the young Hollywood director Simon Westeros's "Lola Run" has recently caused a series of controversies and questions, and many people doubt that such an 18-year-old boy cannot have the ability to complete such an excellent movie. We won't comment on this yet. Yesterday, our program team suddenly received a box of videotapes, and after watching the videotapes, we were surprised, and we started calling a lot of singers like crazy: Hey, friend, do you need a guitarist? Then, she came to our studio for today. ”

After Charles Gibson said this sentence, which aroused the audience's curiosity even more, he got up and said, "Welcome, Madonna." ”

In the applause of the scene, Madonna, wearing a jacket, tight leather pants and high heels, walked out of the backstage, hugged Charles Gibson gently, and then sat down on the sofa on the other side, and couldn't help but look at several "Lola Run" posters behind her, looking very curious.

In front of the TV, Jennifer frowned slightly when she saw Madonna appear, she didn't like this singer who always had a good public image, and she was also a little dissatisfied with ABC's arrangement.

It's just that Jennifer also knows that she can't ask for too much.

After a few brief greetings on the TV screen, Charles Gibson asked Madonna: "Maggie, before I recommend our guitarist to you, I want to ask, have you seen "Lola Run"?"

Madonna nodded decisively and said, "Of course, this movie is really cool." It's a pity that I've been too busy lately to meet the little guy who is said to be directing the film himself. ”

Charles Gibson listened to Madonna's answer and said with a smile: "So, Maggie, you also have some doubts that "Lola Run" was not filmed by Simon Westeros?"

"I just think it's incredible, he's only eighteen after all," Madonna said, and finally said with some surprise, "Charles, the guitarist you want to recommend to me can't be Simon Westeros, right?"

Charles Gibson smiled and didn't say anything, just raised his hand and gestured behind him, "So, let's watch a video first." ”

Most of the lights in the studio are dimmed, and a projector beam of light on the ceiling is projected on the big screen behind the studio. Still starting with a casual shot in front of the craft stall, ABC temporarily subtitled a few voiceovers, and the audience can clearly distinguish dialogues such as "Little Boy ......" and "Wild Bees Flying", "To Jenny".

Immediately, the sound of the guitar pouring out made everyone feel as if they were a wasp swooping down in an instant.

Immediately after that, the camera turns, and the sharpness is inevitably compromised due to the zooming in of the frame. However, under the foreshadowing of the topic just now, everyone still recognized the identity of the guitarist immediately: Simon Westeros.

In the studio stereo, the more frantic and rapid notes continued, and even those who didn't understand music at all could definitely feel that a certain guy could be called a master of guitar skills.

At the same time, the camera swept through the audience in the studio, and almost everyone had their mouths slightly open and looked surprised.

Madonna, who was just turning her head to watch the screen, was unconsciously kneeling on the sofa reflexively, with a small hand on her chin, obviously holding back and not reaching into her mouth, as Simon's playing on the screen became more and more crazy, Madonna's mouth shape was obviously silently repeating 'It's incredible, it's incredible'.

Five minutes later, when the video ended, the studio scene was almost immediately reminded of the uniform applause. Madonna clapped her hands completely and shouted, "What-a-crazy-boy!!"

Meanwhile.

In front of countless TVs, seeing Simon's surprising guitar solo on the screen, many people can't help but let out all kinds of admiration.

"It's so cool. ”

"Is this really something that humans can do?"

"I can't imagine that this young man is so powerful, and those media have been talking nonsense recently. ”

"Mom, I'm going to learn guitar too. ”

"I've known for a long time that the people who attacked Simon recently were maliciously smearing, and I must watch "Lola Run" again today. ”

"Maybe it's good to go see that "Lola Run" today. “

"Oh my God. ”

"Sure enough, a madman, a cool madman. ”

“......”

“......”

Although it is a rest day when people generally do not wake up early. However, as a national television network, ABC's audience base is still very large, and there have been too many news related to "Lola Run" recently, and this video about Simon on "Good Morning America" has quickly caused a huge response.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Seeing Simon Westeros' crazy guitar performance in the video, many people immediately questioned the media opinion during this time: You say that this boy lacks musical skills and cannot complete the soundtrack of "Lola Run" himself. Now, who else dares to say that, you have the ability to play "Wild Bee Flying" again.

Since the accusations against Simon Westeros in this regard are false. So, what about the other aspects?

Although this is an era without the Internet, relatively speaking, interpersonal communication has become more frequent, and it is only in the next few hours that many people have completely fallen to Simon's side because of this video.

Los Angeles.

ABC did not inform Simon of today's program in advance, but with the broadcast of "Good Morning America", Simon and many people around him still got the news as soon as possible.

Less than seven o'clock in the morning on the West Coast, everyone gathered again in the mansion in Palisad.

It's just that what made Simon cry and laugh the most was a handwritten fax from New York handed over to him by Jonathan Friedman, who arrived in a hurry, with only one sentence on it: Little boy, you owe me once.

It was Madonna.

It's too good to take advantage of loopholes. Queen, have we met?
