Chapter 41

30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Andy looked at a strong man in front of the building and held up a bronze statue with a ceremonial ritual, full of strength and very spectacular.

Since the "Saturday Night Live" was born, it has been the landmark of New York, the General Electric Company building. The 8H studios on the 8th and 9th floors are broadcast directly. The address of the GE building was later referred to as 30Rock, which is also the origin of the name of the NBC comedy "I'm a Comedian".

Entering the building, Andy and his team were taken up by the reception staff on the 17th floor.

"SNL's screenwriters, producers and other staff are all on the 17th floor of the building," the reception staff explained to Andy with a smile.

Andy nodded, indicating that he understood the case tightly. It is also particular about insisting on holding the guitar yourself. Since you are playing as a musician, you must insist on it. Some things cannot be faked by others, such as the musician's own instrument, the photographer's machine, etc. Since it is your dependence, it should be regarded as a part of the body. Of course, this is not a dress 13, it is a kind of persistence, a love.

On the 17th floor, busy office scenes came into my eyes. As the hottest celebrity in the United States, Andy was naturally greeted by the show team, and also saw the ultimate great BOOS Lorne Michaels of SNL.

Introduce each other one by one with the producer of the show group. After a few words of shame, it is considered that the two parties leave a good impression on each other. After all, it is a live broadcast, and they need to cooperate with each other.

Usually, SNL starts broadcasting every Saturday at 23:29:30 Eastern Time. The whole show takes 1 hour and 30 minutes and ends at 1 AM. Maybe you will be a bit sleepy during that period, but the slogan of the show will definitely be exciting, because at the end of the opening sketch, one of the cards will desperately shout: LivefromNewYork, it \ 'sSaturdayNight!

The content of the "Saturday Night Live" sketch may be the same as many domestic sketches, with simple scenes and costumes, showing a funny scene or creating some funny characters. Most of SNL's classic paragraphs are in fact series. People may fall in love with some characters or settings.

Andy was taken to the SNL studio on the 8th floor by the staff for rehearsal and greeted the band of the show group, because Andy's "Five Hundred Miles Away from Home" score contains a violin playing part. Violinist.

Andy stood in front of the microphone and started playing with the guitar. The music was still beautiful and his voice was a little husky, which would make the whole song more exciting and resonate with strangers.

At the end of the concert, the applause of the staff immediately sounded, and the band members admired one by one and clapped Andy.

The rehearsal in the afternoon was very smooth, and the band's cooperation was also becoming proficient. After all, it was a professional who ate this bowl of rice. Of course, this song by Andy was highly respected, and they said that they could directly drop the classics on the charts.

Andy smiled at other people's praises, and was very useful in his heart. After all, it was a song he wrote, and he was very happy to be recognized. what? You said plagiarism? You have the ability to cross, cut, envy you.

Of course, the most excited nature is Carl. On the side of the studio hall, he turned on his mobile phone and dialed the Universal Music Management's phone. He waited until Andy finished singing, and walked out of the studio hall with a smirk.

"How about? Absolutely classic, Andy is a genius, you know, creative singer, handsome looking, fit, is just the perfect idol." Carl is very shamelessly doing sales.

"Of course, Andy's talent is beyond doubt, but the conditions you said are too harsh. It is necessary to make a contract according to his personal needs, or the kind of time when you want to release a record, even the most basic two years. No one album can be guaranteed, which affects the company's interests ... "

After hearing this, Karl groaned for a while and then said, "I can't do anything about this, I just know that Andy has submitted the copyright certification of ten original songs. As for the regular release of albums or anything, I really don't have this. The method promises, you know that young people are sometimes wayward, and besides, it 's not necessary to make a single anyway. Look at the singers, do n't they all make a single instead of paying for the album? As long as you can stabilize He asked him to sign the contract, and then naturally fans and fans came to ask for him for us, Andy was still very supportive of the fans. How do you say it in Chinese? It 's called a gentleman. "What? You don't know what it means? It seems that a good person can deceive him in a reasonable way. "

"Well, I'll report it to the boss now, and then have a meeting to discuss it, but are you sure you can convince Mr. Smith?"

Carl froze. "There should be no problem. After all, he also likes music. With such a great degree of contract freedom, he will agree."

. . . . . .

Hanging up the phone, Carl held the phone in his hand and thought for a while, thinking about how Andy flew, and when he was about to walk back to the studio hall, he saw Andy coming out of the crowd of staff.

"What's wrong? Is the rehearsal over?"

Andy said angrily, "What are you doing out there? Doesn't my song like that?"

Carl hurriedly explained, "Why don't you like it? It's so touching. It's not a phone call. It's not good to answer the phone. So can we leave now?"

"Well, that's okay, come back around 9pm to participate in the live broadcast." Andy carried the case, said goodbye to the staff, and walked to the elevator.

In the elevator.

Carl slaps Andy's flatter with a charming look. What talent, genius, and classic songs make Andy speechless. Standing in front of Andy, Joseph and Kenny looked at each other. They knew for the first time. Carl, who gave them a shrewd impression, would have this face.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to do again?" Andy glanced at Carl angrily. In memory, as long as Carl smacked fart, he was ready to flicker him.

Carl Hehe laughed: "I found a new restaurant and the dishes are good. I invite you to try it. You will definitely like it."

"... Oh, this is strange, the vampire is so generous." Andy grinned, knowing that Carl, the fat man, was either in trouble or he really wanted to pit himself, but looking at this performance, things should not be Big, there is no questioning.

Boarded in a Cadillac commercial vehicle, a group led by Carl to a company called Jean. George's Manhattan does not pan Samsung Michelin French restaurants.

In fact, Carl reserved a seat very early, knowing that now Andy has added a tasting food to his preferences. To flicker Andy, first of all, he must be in a good mood.

Sitting down in the restaurant, floor-to-ceiling glass projected the afterglow of the setting sun outdoors and overlooked the beautiful view of Central Park. Andy smiled at Carl: "Since you are going to treat, I'm welcome."

Introduced by a beautiful waitress, Andy started ordering, lobster soup, rosemary chicken breast signature dishes, foie gras, egg caviar, lamb chops, veal, yellowfin tuna sashimi with butter jam, Tenpo Luo, ordering more than a dozen dishes, Karl's complexion was getting darker and darker, and he was cursed, and was killed by this boy.

Classic egg caviar. The caviar is piled on the eggshell, and below is the soup made of protein and cream. With a spoonful, the salty and caviar of the caviar is perfectly blended, which is indeed a classic.

Foie gras, soft, creamy, and aftertaste, a way to taste the gentle ingredients on the tip of the tongue, with caramel, dried fruit, fish jelly as a warm and sweet kiss for lovers.

Carl watched Andy eating happily, praising from time to time, knowing that he could say something.

"Andy, since you like singing so much, you might as well make a record and make absolutely money."

"Well? You talked to Universal Music? The conditions are right." Andy couldn't help laughing secretly, as it really is, this fat man.

"Listen to me first, the conditions they give are really good, you ... what? Do you agree?" Carl heard Andy's vague words, thinking that he refused, and the anxious face would start. Persuading, after hearing the consent clearly, asked in surprise.

"Yes, why should you refuse? This is a good thing. Why don't someone agree to give money. Talk about the conditions." Andy said casually while eating.

. . . . .

The lobby is broadcast live on weekend nights.

Andy sat in the lounge and watched the show on the TV. He looked at Carl and Joseph in a speechless manner, and Kenny smiled happily. The opening sketch played two couples at a restaurant and the black chef (White House steward Forrest Whitaker, the fourth black Oscar actor, came out to sing songs, and sang endlessly, creating a series of funny words and scenes.

To be honest, Andy couldn't understand the laugh of the American emperor. Some terriers didn't know the source. They looked at it with awkward looks, and they looked like they were funny. It was just suffering.

Time slowly came to Andy's performance time. He combed his hairstyle in the mirror, took a charming smile, and took the guitar out of the lounge.

The applause, screams, the audience at the scene was very respectful. Of course, Andy's popularity in the United States is really very high. Although it can't be known to everyone, it is still very famous among young people Yes, there are still many haloes on his head.

The scene calmed down, Andy exhaled a dark breath, and the original excitement slowly calmed down.

The simple guitar accompaniment fiddles with the audience's heartstrings in front of the TV, and the trembling voice touches everyone's soul. The feelings between the lines in the words bring shock and shock to everyone's mind.

The anxiety and contradiction mentality when leaving hometown is more relevant than leaving hometown, and dare not to make a difference.

Touched, everyone was moved by Andy's music at this moment.

Applause, enthusiastic applause, whether it is the standing applause of the audience or the unappealing applause of the audience in front of the TV.

Andy touched the applause of the audience. At this moment, he was extremely calm, because he understood that this was what it should be. After all, it has been sung for decades in the previous world. For a classic song, this response is only just beginning.
