"Welcome back to Today Show, viewers in front of the TV, I'm Diane-hite, your location host.

It's 9:05 a.m. Eastern Time, and in the early hours of this morning, the East Coast has been hit by the third cold wave of the winter, with temperatures plummeting to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, and a storm has hit the ground, and the whole of New York City is now covered in snow. However, such bad weather still did not stop the biggest event since the beginning of 2012!

At this moment, I was standing at the door of Madison Square Garden in New York, through the camera lens, the audience could clearly see the surging and frenzy of the crowd, listen, the cheering shout...... and then the voice was drowned out by the screams in an instant, and the host's voice disappeared for about seven or eight seconds, and then it was found again, "This is an unexpected party, and it has also become the most beautiful scenery in this year's cold winter." ”

NBC's ace morning show "The Today Show", since its inception in 1987, has always been the most watched weekly morning news program and morning talk show in the United States.

After Diane White's brief on-location report, the show returned to the studio – the "Today Show" studio is located above Rockefeller Plaza, a fully transparent fishbowl-style live broadcast room where every audience can stop and become a part of the live broadcast, which has also become one of the biggest features of the show.

Matt-Lauer, the host of the show, naturally took over Diane's conversation, "Just two days ago, no one knew about this concert at all, but now, forty-eight hours have not passed, and it has become the most high-profile hot spot in New York City, Ann, what do you think?"

Matt's co-host, Ann-Curry, smiled and exclaimed, "Incredible. I mean, it's a concert in the garden. For everyone who lives in or visits New York, the Garden Concert is a must-see event. But, forty-eight hours ago, no one knew about this concert? Come on, it's not April Fool's Day. ”

"Exactly!" Matt nodded in agreement, "In case there are still viewers who don't understand the situation, I'm here to reveal the correct answer again." On the evening of February 11, Lanli Hall announced through Studio 11 that she would hold a concert in the garden on the 16th, that is, today. The show, called 'One Man Concert', will not be sold through the online ticketing system, and all tickets will be sold on-site in the most original and simple way. ”

"It sounds like a pop-up concert. But the problem is that a pop-up concert can gather 1,000 audiences, which is already very rare. However, Lan Li chose the garden as the venue. So, is this a Kardashian-esque show or a concert with special significance?"

Ann took over the conversation with a smile on her face, then naturally and smoothly shifted to everyone's attention, and finally, turned to look at her partner, "There are countless controversies and opinions about this concert. Matt, what do you think?"

In the face of such a straightforward and sharp question, Matt was not in a hurry, and showed a confident and sincere look at the camera, "I think, whether it is for or against, positive or negative." Everyone has their own opinion, but whatever the idea, the more important thing should be: Would you like to watch this concert? How much of the 20,000 seats in the garden can be filled?"

An showed an appreciative look and chuckled her chin chuckled, "This is also the answer we are trying to find out today." There are only eleven hours left until the official start of the concert, and the answer will be revealed. But before we do that, let's take a look at the situation on the ground. Diane?"

Diane, who was standing in the middle of the storm, stumbled a little, and she had to adjust her headset, which caught the intermittent signal from the live broadcast room, "Yes, Matt, Ann." I'm on the spot right now. As you can see, the weather conditions are not getting worse, but they are not getting better. In such a harsh environment, the situation of this concert also attracted everyone's attention. ”

Turning around, Diane led the camera forward, and came to the eaves in front of the ticket window, the influence of the weather was slightly weakened, and the sound gradually became clearer.

"As you can see on camera, there was a long queue in front of the ticket window, and the sight was even crazier than on basketball or ice hockey game days. Diane gestured to the endless queue in front of her, and even saw one tent after another, and the site directly turned into a campsite.

"We just went around the garden, and we can't do a specific number of statistics, but there were at least more than 3,000 spectators, or more, so let's interview them. Accompanied by the photographer, Diane walked up to one of the audience members at the front, "Good morning, may I ask, what's your name?"

"Timsey Leslie. ”

"Timsey, nice to meet you. Diane then threw out her own question, "You were the first in the whole team to arrive at the scene, may I ask, when did you come here?"

"Yesterday at five o'clock in the afternoon. I brought my tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes, and extra food. Start queuing here. Timothy's words were clearly transmitted through the microphone, and the other fans in line behind him also began to cheer and cheer for Timosi, as if to express their approval and support.

"That means you've been here for almost sixteen hours, and today there are eleven hours ahead of you. But, why?"

Timsey bent down and left the camera, which caused the cameraman to lower the camera in a panic and capture Timsey's movements, and then saw Timsey pull out an album from his sleeping bag, stand up straight, and display it in front of the camera. It was the album "Don Quixote".

"Because of Ranley-Hall. Timothy's tone was so firm and decisive, and then, taking a step forward, looking at the camera, he said word by word:

"I want to tell the journalists, and I want to tell the doubters: this concert was not planned, and Lan Li never wanted to promote it. It was a pact between him and his truly loyal audience.

If it weren't for those reporters reporting indiscriminately, Lan Li and Studio Eleven wouldn't want more people to know about it. What we care about is not the attendance of the garden, but a dream that belongs to Don Quixote.

So, listeners who think it's a hype, it's okay, you can stick to that idea, and then, don't show up in the garden, don't show up in any form of support. Trust me, it's good for you, and it's good for us. ”

Diane tried to open her mouth in response, but unexpectedly, the crowd in line began to cheer and shout. At first, the sound was not noisy, just a small group of people at the front of the line, but gradually the sound became more and more numerous, louder and more violent.

"Whew, whew", the wind was howling, but slowly, these sounds disappeared, and only the surging shouts around the whole garden, "Don Quixote", they were calling like this, shouting from the heart, shaking the Madison Square Garden, shaking the "Today Show" live broadcast room, and shaking every audience in front of the TV.

Don Quixote's popularity may have been nothing more than a bubble, like pop culture in the fast-food era, but Lan Li forgets that he and George Strand are never alone, as "Pioneer Village Night" once attested, and "One Man's Concert" is proving it again.

Hidden under the bubble, the hearts of the innocent children are more determined, more fiery, and more persistent. They're just a tiny, tiny bunch of people who might not be able to cram a city in a big world, but they can fill a Madison Square Garden.

Like moths to a fire, in the midst of a violent snowstorm, they resolutely gathered from all over North America and the world. Like the whale named Alice, who once thought they were the only ones who could hear their own songs, but the frequency of fifty-two hertz now resounded in the man named Ranley-Hall. So, they are desperate and desperate.

Elle-Cross quietly looked at the small screen of the TV, her eyes involuntarily filled with a blur of tears, that unfamiliar face, that fanatical face, but she saw Heather, saw her beloved daughter.

Turning his head, he looked at Heather, who was still lying quietly on the hospital bed, without any movement. Ellie gently squeezed the back of her daughter's hand and palm, "Heather, do you see? I know, you will definitely be crazy about it, you will definitely be immersed in it." Lan Li kept his promise, and now it's your turn. Why don't you wake up and listen to this concert that belongs to you?"

As he spoke, tears slid down.

There was no response, still no response, Elle lowered her head, closed her eyes, and hid her pain and despair, her mouth full of bitterness but unable to speak. What should she do, what else can she do, and if she can, she is even willing to trade her life for her to be the one lying in the hospital bed/on.

But......

"Mom, do you mean it really?" A weak voice came from her ears, and Ellie was stunned in place, her muscles stiffened, and she didn't move, lest she heard it wrong, and then the next second, the voice came again, "Mom, I heard it just now, it seems that there is a concert, do you mean, Lan Li's concert?"

Ellie looked up in disbelief, and then saw her daughter's eyes that had reopened, a faint glint in their hazy eyes. Elle raised her left hand to cover her mouth, nodded slightly, and gave affirmation, but the tears completely burst the embankment, and she couldn't stop.

The corners of Heather's pale and dry mouth rose slightly, "Then, can I go?"
