Chapter 922: Surprise appearance
Ding.
The elevator door opened, and even before Levi could react, paper fireworks went off in front of his eyes——
“Surprise!”
A figure stood in front of him, wearing a T-shirt T-shirt, jeans and slippers, her hair is half done, and you can see that it is held up with small clips.
Fireworks, sound; cheers, in place.
However, there was no response in the elevator. It was like facing a ball of air. There was no fright, no joy, nothing. The air cooled rapidly.
Slightly embarrassing.
Li Wei quietly looked at the person in front of him, as if looking at a statue, passed by him silently, and left the elevator.
Statue: ...There seems to be something wrong with something.
"Wait, wait."
The statue stopped Levi.
“That’s it?”
Li Wei turned around and looked at the other party, his eyes full of confusion.
Statue, "I have carefully prepared a welcome ceremony. What is your reaction?"
Levi's face was full of innocence, "I visited you personally, and the result is a welcome ceremony like this? That's it? Are you sure? I feel like walking into a kindergarten."
The statue lightly shrugged, "So, what did you expect? "
Li Wei thought about it seriously, "I don't know, shouldn't it be you who surprise me?"
The statue was stunned for a moment, stood up straight, and held the fireworks in his hands. The handles were piled back, and he turned around and strode forward, leaving Li Wei standing alone at the elevator door. There was no hesitation in his resolute steps, leaving only Li Wei alone and messy in the wind.
And, there is no reversal.
Turn a corner and disappear.
On the surface, he looks calm and composed, but in fact Colin-Jost is panicking inside. As expected, Levi is a difficult problem
Jost keeps convincing himself : Calm down, calm down, don’t panic; now it depends on who can keep calm and who can gain the upper hand.
After turning into the next corridor, Jost closed his eyes and counted silently for three seconds.
Three! two! one!
Then Jost turned around and jumped back in, cheering loudly.
"Surprise!"
But...
"Levi?"
Where are the people?
The corridor was empty and there was no figure. Levi, who was here just now, actually disappeared.
Jost was stunned: Oops! The prank is gone.
Damn it!
Jost rushed over and pressed the elevator button frantically.
Ding!
The elevator door opened again, and a dark figure rushed down.
“Surprise!”
With a cry, Jost’s eyes widened and he held his breath. His knees softened and he almost fell to the ground. He supported his knees with both hands and his calves felt numb. soft.
Looking at Jost looking so embarrassed, Levi could no longer control himself.
“Hahaha, hahaha.”
Laughing like thunder.
And he was still laughing
In an instant, heads popped up in the "Saturday Night Live" studio and writers' room. Looking at this scene, neither of them could control themselves. Smile——
As soon as Levi appeared on the stage, Jost, one of the chief writers of the show, was embarrassed.
It seems that tonight’s show is worth looking forward to! Jost gasped for air, "God, my heart really almost jumped out of my head. I mean, I don't know how far you can accept the joke, if you really leave in a rage Yes, our live broadcast tonight may be a disaster.”
However, Levi smiled all over his face, "Yes, I know, that's why my counterattack will work."
Jost couldn't believe his ears, "Oh, God."< br>
Levi laughed particularly wildly, "Hahaha."
After all, Jost is a veteran who has worked on "Saturday Night Live" for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with this kind of prank. , finally recovered and smiled, "Scarlett is still worried about you, but now it seems there is no need at all."
Levi spread his hands, "Who knows, maybe I usually look like this, but when I stand in front of the live TV camera, I turn into a puppet."
Jost didn't buy it, "No, no, no. , Impossible. Your on-the-spot reaction just now has once again proved that the core of 'The Chief's Special' lies in your performance. Are you sure you are not interested in working in Hollywood?"
Levi said with a calm face, "It seems. , I don’t need to worry about retirement life.”
Pu Chi, Jost also laughed out loud.
Colin Jost, a writer on "Saturday Night Live", later took over the show's flagship complaint segment "Weekly Update" and is now one of the mainstays of the program.
At the same time, Jost also has another identity. His girlfriend is Scarlett Johansson. The two have been in a stable relationship for two years. Not long ago, Jost proposed and Scarlett agreed. The two are planning to get engaged next month. .
Good things are coming.
Levi and Scarlett met at last year’s Super Bowl celebration party and could only be regarded as casual acquaintances; but this year’s Super Bowl, Scarlett went to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to watch the game. Establishing friendship with others can be regarded as becoming friends.
What really changed their relationship was the Annie Gallas Foundation.
Scarlett has a daughter, and she feels the same story about Levi and Anne. She not only attended the charity party last night, but also wrote a large check to sincerely support Levi in making some changes.
When she learned that Levi was invited to appear on "Saturday Night Live," Scarlett showed her generous and loyal side and asked Jost to take good care of Levi and give him some help.
Jost is not worried about Levi. It can be seen from the rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday that the performance will not be difficult for Levi. Levi is a potential stock with a talent for humor; nevertheless, considering the live broadcast Due to the particularity, Jost came specially to greet Levi.
But now it seems that there is still no need to worry.
Along the way, Jost took Levi to the door to say hello, knocking on the door in one locker room after another to greet him. Although Levi could also do it by himself, with the help of the leader, things became simple. many.
Without exception, Levi received a cheer.
In just three days of rehearsal, Levi has already become one with the program team.
Jost himself couldn't help it, "Now it seems that I look like a light bulb."
"In short, don't worry, I believe you can perform very well; if something goes wrong on the spot It doesn’t matter, just trust us as a cast. We repeat the same thing every week, and we know how to deal with it?”
Levi joked, “But if the situation is too bad, you can’t save it. Where's the show?"
Jost shrugged lightly, without even a second's hesitation, "That's when the god of the show came."
"This is a good thing. We may be about to witness an epic live broadcast, and the show should be a hit."
That understatement showed Levi that he is a veteran with ease.
Jost glanced at Levi.
"No matter what, we will be the beneficiaries in the end. After all, you are an 'edgewalker', so we are silently praying for the God of the program to come."
Wait a minute, this sentence , why does it feel weird?
However, Jost did not give Levi time to react and knocked on the door again. After getting permission, he opened the door and took the lead in walking in.
“Hey, Taylor, welcome.”
Levi looked at Taylor Swift, who was posing in front of the makeup mirror as if she was flipping through a magazine, with questions on her head.
Swift, however, seemed not to notice Levi's surprise and astonishment. He greeted Jost skillfully and then stood in front of Levi gracefully.
“Welcome to ‘Saturday Night Live’.”
Levi looked at Jost and then at Swift, with disbelief written all over his face.
The next second, Swift suddenly took out her left hand from behind her back and threw a bunch of sequins at Levi, putting her hands on her mouth to make a trumpet shape.
“Surprise!”
It turns out that the real ambush is here.
