"Good Morning America" is a morning news program on the ABC television network. As a commercial TV station for profit, in order to pursue ratings, the content of "Good Morning America" is not completely boring news broadcast, 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 program, and occasionally big-name singers are invited to live street performances.
The weekend version of "Good Morning America" is only one hour long, and it will be broadcast live at 7 o'clock in the morning in various time zones.
Inside an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Nearly seven o'clock, Jennifer Rebald tipped out of her room and walked downstairs cautiously, only to find that his father James Rebald was already sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.
Shrinking her neck, Jennifer wanted to go back quietly. James Rebald had already noticed his daughter, and pointed directly at the opposite sofa without raising his head: "Jenny, come."
"Dad, early."
I had to dispel the thought of slipping away, said hello, obediently walked over and sat down opposite my father. After hesitating for a while, Jennifer picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV in the living room, and tuned to the ABC channel.
James Rebold raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched his daughter's movements.
However, something suddenly came to mind. James looked at the already slim daughter on the other side, but did not reprimand him. He just asked: "Why did you come back suddenly yesterday, so late?"
Jennifer glanced at the TV screen before turning to her father, and said, "There are some things temporarily, I arrived in New York at 5:30, and I won't be back until after it's finished."
James Rebold waited for a while, and saw that his daughter did not continue to explain, and stopped asking.
The little girl has grown up after all.
From Jennifer's insistence on going to Los Angeles to work instead of staying in the office of his husband and wife in New York, James Rebald realized that his daughter was a little too strict in these years. Although they do not regret doing this, their daughter has grown up, and the Rebolds understand that it is time to let the children go.
Thinking about this, James Rebold changed the subject and asked in a gentle voice: "I spoke to Professor Robertson on the phone last week. He thinks your paper is very good. Tell me."
Jennifer's attention turned to the TV screen again, and she was a little absent-minded when she heard the words: "Dad, today is Saturday, can we not talk about these things?"
Looking at his daughter, James Rebold suddenly became more aware of some uncomfortable feelings from his father's instinct, and asked tentatively: "Jenny, are you in love?"
Jennifer froze for a moment, her face flushed inexplicably, but she shook her head, not looking at his father's eyes, and said: "Dad, no. I'm just, um, a little tired. Shall we watch TV?"
James Rebold smiled, put the newspaper in his hand aside, and said, "Okay, watch TV."
On the TV screen, "Good Morning America" has already started, and after a few mainstream news, the picture was transferred to a studio.
Jennifer looked at the large poster of "Lola Run" in the studio, and suddenly raised her spirits.
This is the result of her repeated insistence yesterday, for which she officially signed a contract.
Although the content of the videotape is that guy, the copyright is in her hands. If it is someone else who owns such a videotape, it is definitely not too much to ask the TV network for a hundred thousand dollars. Therefore, the only condition she made to Robert Iger and ABC was that "Good Morning America" must be broadcast this morning, otherwise she would contact other TV stations.
James Rebold noticed the content on the TV screen and his daughter's reaction, and his mood suddenly improved.
It turned out not to be in love, but to chase stars.
However, James still said: "Is this the work of Simon Westero? The recent controversy is not small."
Jennifer couldn't help but retorted: "Dad, don't you see that the news is manipulated? They just don't want the box office of "Lola Run" to be too high."
James Rebold smiled without arguing with his daughter, and also focused on the TV screen.
In the studio, the host of "Good Morning America", Charles Gibson, sat on a sofa and gestured behind him with a smile, and said to the audience: "Seeing this poster, everyone must have guessed our topic today. . But I still want to say that you absolutely all guessed wrong."
In the doubts of everyone, Charles Gibson briefly introduced: "As we all know, "Running Laura" directed by Simon Westeros, a young Hollywood director, has recently caused a series of controversies and doubts. Many people suspect such an 18-year-old. It's impossible for the teenager to have the ability to complete such an excellent movie. We will not comment on this for the time being. Yesterday, our program group suddenly received a videotape. After seeing the videotape, we were surprised that we started to go crazy Call many singers: Hey, friend, do you need a guitarist? Finally, a singer replied: OK, let me see how he plays. Then, she came to our studio today. "
After Charles Gibson said the words that aroused the audience's curiosity, he stood up and said: "Welcome, Madonna."
In the applause at 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. "The poster, looks very curious.
In front of the TV, Jennifer frowned slightly when she saw Madonna appear. She didn't like the singer who always had a prominent public image, and she was a little dissatisfied with the arrangement of ABC.
However, Jennifer also knew that she couldn't ask for too much.
On the TV screen, after a few simple greetings, Charles Gibson asked Madonna: "Maggie, before recommending our guitarist to you, I want to ask first, 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 recently and haven't seen the little guy who is said to direct this movie 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 Westero?"
"I just think this is incredible, he is only eighteen years old after all," Madonna said, finally a little surprised, said: "Charles, the guitarist you want to recommend to me is not Simon Westeros, right? ?"
Charles Gibson smiled without saying a word, just raised his hand and gestured behind him, saying: "Then, let's watch a video first."
Most of the lights in the studio were dimmed, and a beam of light from a projector on the ceiling projected onto the big screen behind the studio. Still starting from a casual scene in front of a crafts stall, ABC temporarily subtitled a few voice-overs, and the audience clearly distinguished the dialogues like 'Little Boy...' and 'Best Flying Dancing, To Jenny'.
Immediately, the pouring out of the guitar sound made everyone feel like a wasp swooping down.
Immediately afterwards, the lens turned, and the sharpness was inevitably affected due to the enlargement of the picture. However, under the foundation of the topic just now, everyone recognized the identity of the guitarist for the first time: Simon Westeros.
In the studio audio, the more crazy and rushing notes continued. Even if you don't understand music at all, you can definitely feel that a guy is a master of guitar skills.
At the same time, the camera was swept across the audience in the studio, almost everyone with their mouths slightly open and surprised.
Madonna, who had just turned her head and watched the screen, unknowingly, had already kneeled on the sofa, with a small hand on her chin, and obviously resisted not reaching her mouth, as Simon played more and more on the screen. Crazy, Madonna's mouth is obviously repeating silently,'It's incredible, it's incredible'.
Five minutes later, when the video ended, the studio scene almost immediately remembered the uniform applause. Madonna clapped her hands completely disregarding her image and shouted: "What-a-crazy-boy!!!"
at the same time.
In front of countless televisions, seeing Simon's surprising guitar SOLO on the screen, many people can't help but exude all kinds of admiration.
"It's so cool."
"Is this really something humans can do?"
"Unexpectedly, this young man is so powerful, and the media have been talking nonsense recently."
"Mom, I also want to learn guitar."
"I already knew that those people who attacked Simon recently were maliciously discrediting. Today, I must go and watch "Lola Run" again."
"Maybe it's not bad to see that "Lola Run" today."
"Gosh."
"Sure enough, a madman, a cool madman."
"..."
"..."
Although it is a rest day when everyone generally does not get up early. However, as a national television network, ABC's audience base is still very large, and there are too many news related to "Lola Run" recently, the video about Simon on "Good Morning America" is still very fast Aroused a huge response. .
seeing is believing.
Seeing Simon Westero's crazy guitar playing in the video, many people immediately questioned the media views during this period: You said that this boy lacks musical skills and cannot complete "Lola Fast" himself. The soundtrack of "Run". Now, who else would dare to say that, if you have the ability, you can play "Bumblebee Flying" again.
Since the accusation against Simon Westero in this regard is false. So, what about other aspects?
Although this is an era without the Internet, relatively speaking, interpersonal communication has become more frequent, but within a few hours, many people completely fell to Simon because of this video.
Los Angeles.
ABC did not inform Simon of the content of today's show in advance, but with the broadcast of "Good Morning America", Simon and many people around him still got the news immediately.
Less than seven o'clock in the morning on the west coast, everyone once again gathered in the Palisades mansion.
However, what made Simon the most dumbfounded was a handwritten note and fax from New York handed over to him by Jonathan Friedman who came over. There was only one sentence on it: little boy, you owe me once.
The signature is Madonna.
This is too tricky. Your queen, have we met?
