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

.

In addition to the hot news that attracts public attention, the program also contains many anecdotes, celebrity interviews and even variety games, and occasionally big-name singers are invited to perform live street performances.

The weekend version of "Good Morning America" ​​is only one hour long and broadcasts live at 7 a.m. in each time zone.

Inside an apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Near seven o'clock, Jennifer Raybould tiptoed out of her room and cautiously came downstairs, only to find that her father, James Raybould, was already sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

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

"Good morning, Dad."

She had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​running away, said hello, and obediently walked over and sat down opposite her father. After hesitating for a moment, 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 looked at his daughter's movements and raised his eyebrows slightly.

However, something suddenly occurred to him. James looked at his already slim daughter across from him, but he didn't scold him. He just asked, "Why did you come back suddenly yesterday, and it was so late?"

Jennifer glanced at the TV screen, then turned to her father and said: "I have something to do temporarily. I will be in New York at 5:30 and will not come back until I finish it."

James Raybould waited for a moment and saw that his daughter did not continue to explain, so he stopped asking questions.

The little girl has grown up after all.

From the time Jennifer insisted on working in Los Angeles instead of staying in the couple's New York office, James Raybould realized that he had been too strict with his daughter in recent years. Although he did not regret doing so, his daughter had grown up.

As adults, the Rayboulds also understood that it was time to let their children go on their own.

Thinking of this, James Raybould changed the topic and asked in a gentle tone: "I had a phone call with Professor Robertson last week. He thought your paper was very good, and he told me about it."

Jennifer's attention turned to the TV screen again, and she was a little distracted when she heard this: "Dad, today is Saturday, can we not talk about these things?"

James Raybould looked at his daughter, suddenly feeling a little more understanding, as well as some discomfort stemming from his father's instinct, and asked tentatively: "Jenny, are you in love?"

Jennifer was stunned for a moment, her face was slightly red for no reason, but she shook her head, not looking at her father's eyes, and said: "Dad, no. I'm just, um, a little tired, shall we watch TV?"

James Raybould smiled, simply put the newspaper aside and said, "Okay, let's watch TV."

On the TV screen, "Good Morning America" ​​had already started. After a few mainstream news, the screen moved to a studio.

Jennifer looked at the large poster of "Run Lola Run" in the studio and immediately became energetic.

This is the result of her repeated insistence yesterday, and she even formally signed a contract for this purpose.

Although the content of that videotape belongs to that guy, the copyright belongs to her. If someone else owned such a videotape, it would not be much to ask the TV network for a hundred thousand dollars. Therefore,

The only condition she made to Robert Iger and ABC was that it be aired on "Good Morning America" ​​this morning, otherwise she would contact other networks.

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

It turns out that I am not in love, but chasing stars.

However, James still said: "Is this the work of Simon Westeros? The recent controversy is not small."

Jennifer couldn't help but retort: ​​"Dad, can't you see that those news are manipulated by someone? They just don't want the box office of "Lola Run" to be too high."

James Raybould smiled and did not argue with his daughter, but also focused on the TV screen.

In the studio, "Good Morning America" ​​host Charles Gibson sat on a sofa on one side, smiled and gestured behind him, and said to the audience: "Seeing this poster, everyone must have guessed our topic today.

.However, I still have to say that you all guessed wrong."

Amid everyone's doubts, Charles Gibson briefly introduced: "As we all know, "Run Lola Run" directed by young Hollywood director Simon Westeros has recently caused a series of controversies and questions. Many people doubted that such an 18-year-old

It is impossible for a young man to have the ability to complete such an outstanding movie. We will not comment on this for the time being. Yesterday, our program team suddenly received a video tape. After seeing the video tape, we were surprised and started to work crazily.

Called many singers: Hey, friend, do you need a guitarist? Finally, one singer replied and said: OK, let me see how he plays first. Then, she came to our studio today.

"

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

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

"Poster, 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 prominent public image, and she was also a little dissatisfied with ABC's arrangement.

However, Jennifer also knew that she could not 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 would like to ask first, have you seen "Run Lola Run"?

"

Madonna nodded decisively and said: "Of course, this movie is really cool. Unfortunately, I have been too busy recently and haven't met the little guy who is said to have directed this movie himself."

Charles Gibson listened to Madonna's answer and smiled and said: "So, Maggie, you also have some doubts that Simon Westeros did not film "Run Lola Run"?"

"I just think this is incredible. He is only eighteen years old after all," Madonna said, finally realizing something. "Charles, the guitarist you want to recommend to me is not Simon Westeros, right?"

?”

Charles Gibson smiled and said nothing. He just raised his hand and gestured behind him, saying: "Well, let's watch a video first."

Most of the lights in the studio were dimmed, and a projector beam on the ceiling was projected on the big screen behind the studio. It still started with a casual shot in front of a handicraft stall, but ABC temporarily subtitled several voice-overs, so that the audience could clearly see

You can clearly distinguish dialogues such as 'Little boy...' and 'Flight of the Bumblebee, to Jenny'.

Immediately, the sound of guitar pouring out made everyone feel like a wasp swooping down.

Immediately afterwards, the camera turned, and due to the magnification of the picture, the clarity was inevitably affected. However, under the foreshadowing of the topic just now, everyone recognized the identity of the guitarist immediately: Simon Westeros.

In the studio speakers, increasingly crazier and faster notes continued. Even people who didn't understand music at all could definitely feel the master-level guitar skills of a certain guy at this time.

At the same time, the camera swept across the audience in the studio, and almost everyone had their mouths slightly open, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Madonna, who originally just turned her head to watch the screen, unknowingly turned around and knelt down on the sofa. She put a small hand on her chin, obviously trying not to put it into her mouth. As Simon played on the screen, she became more and more nervous.

Crazy, Madonna's mouth shape is obviously repeating silently "It's incredible, it's incredible".

Five minutes later, when the video ended, the studio scene was almost immediately greeted with uniform applause. Madonna clapped her hands without caring about the image and shouted: "What-a-crazy-boy!!!"

at the same time.

Seeing Simon's astonishing guitar solo in front of countless TV sets, many people couldn't help but express various admirations.

"It's so cool."

"Is this really something a human can do?"

"I didn't expect this young man to be so powerful. The media has been talking nonsense again recently."

"Mom, I also want to learn guitar."

"I have known for a long time that those who recently attacked Simon are maliciously smearing him. I must watch "Lola Run" again today."

"Perhaps it would be good to go see the movie "Run Lola Run" today."

"Oh my god."

"He is indeed a madman, a cool madman."

"..."

"..."

Although it is a day off that everyone generally does not get up early. However, as a national television network, ABC still has a very large audience base. In addition, there are too many news related to "Run Lola Run" around us recently. "Good Morning"

This video about Simon on "The United States" quickly aroused a huge response.

seeing is believing.

Seeing Simon Westeros' crazy guitar playing in the video, many people immediately questioned the media's views during this period: You said that this boy lacked musical skills and could not complete "Lola Quick" by himself.

The soundtrack of "Run". Now, who else dares to say that, if you have the ability, you can play "Flight of the Bumblebee" again.

Since the accusations against Simon Westeros are false, what about other aspects?

Although this is an era without the Internet, relatively speaking, interpersonal communication has become more frequent. However, in just a few hours, many people completely fell to Simon's side because of this video.

Los Angeles.

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

Before seven o'clock in the morning on the West Coast, everyone gathered again at the mansion in Palisades.

However, what made Simon dumbfounded the most was the fax of a handwritten note from New York handed to him by Jonathan Friedman who came over. There was only one sentence on it: Little boy, you owe me once.

Signed Madonna.
