After the news was officially acknowledged, social media was almost maxed out in a short period of time, and almost all the messages were screaming groundhogs.

美国人对于美式橄榄球的热爱毋庸置疑，超级碗向来被视为全国的狂欢日,甚至被称为非正式的美国国庆日。超级碗作为美国职业橄榄球大联盟NFL的年度冠军赛,每一年都是毫无疑问的收视第一,能够达到接近50%的恐怖收视率。据统计,在2008年,有1.3亿美国人观看了超级碗,而只有1.2亿人参加总统选举投票。而2010年温哥华冬奥会因为举办时间与超级碗相撞，而不得不改变举办时间。即便是在超级碗门票高昂的情况下,超级碗的现场每年依然会被热情的人潮淹没。

During halftime of the Super Bowl, a small live performance will be held to liven up the atmosphere.Although the Super Bowl halftime performance was only 12 minutes, and it was almost zero-paid, the hidden status recognition and excellent publicity effect still made all the first-line big-name singers flock to it.For top-tier big-name singers, participating in the Super Bowl halftime show can even become the biggest push for their new album to break the record.

&2688:

"But Eliza can't interfere with the selection of the Super Bowl organizers, at most she can only agree after being selected..."

&2689:

'The internet has gone crazy...'

……

The Internet has indeed gone crazy, and many people have been speculating about this year's Super Bowl halftime show guest before.Even Twitter did a small survey, "Who do you want to be a guest of this year's Super Bowl halftime show?" Although Elisa's votes were not low, even those who voted for Eliza never thought However, Eliza was actually invited to be a guest of this year's Super Bowl halftime show.

Especially against the backdrop of the other three groups of guests, Elisa is relatively not convincing enough.

For a while, speculation arose about why Eliza was able to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show.

New York Post: 'Eliza Lim to perform at Super Bowl halftime show, youngest Super Bowl halftime singer on the market'

"Los Angeles Times": 'Only one year after her debut, she appeared on the Super Bowl halftime show. Who is she? '

"Clarion Daily": "The Super Bowl halftime show boldly chooses new singers. Is it a reckless mistake or a bold innovation?" '

Except for these relatively objective analysis reports, most of them are voices of doubt.

The Hollywood Reporter: 'Why her?Why is she? '

On the US side, the "Hollywood Reporter", which had previously reported negative fake news on Elisa several times, carried the flag, and the "Sun" across the Atlantic followed closely behind.

The Sun: 'Super Bowl 50 halftime show could be biggest joke'

The outside controversy will not affect the ongoing rehearsal of the Super Bowl halftime show.

At the end of January, the weather warms up slightly.

Eliza stood in the middle of the open field wearing an orange fleece sweater, a peaked cap on her head, and tapped the beat with her feet.

Intense drumbeats sounded in the center of the venue, and Elisa opened her mouth almost at that moment, and the resonant high-pitched voice was elongated in this way, violently rubbing against the air.

"Hey—"

Eliza sang the high note with her eyes closed, and then opened her eyes suddenly.

The moment she opened her eyes, all the music stopped, and in the silence, Eliza pointed forward with her other finger and pierced her eyes playfully, "It's showtime."

After this sentence, all the musicians resumed playing at the same moment.

Although it was just a rehearsal, I still had some opinions on inviting Elisa as a guest performer at the Super Bowl halftime in recent years. Even because of this incident, the director who took a picture with the person in charge of the organizer, after Elisa's first voice came out. Has completely changed his face.By the time Elisa finished singing her part, the director had already looked in Elisa's direction with bright eyes.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the assistant next to him, "How long is her solo performance?"

"1 minutes."

"1 minute?!" The director frowned suddenly, lowered his head to think for a while, and then looked at the assistant seriously, "What if I go to tell Joseph now that I want to give her a longer solo singing time, what will happen?"

Hearing his unrealistic idea, the assistant boy replied straightforwardly, "It will be rejected, director."

After being teased by the assistant, the director turned his head speechlessly to look at the blond woman who was concentrating on rehearsing on the field, and suddenly said, "As long as she can officially perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, she can play like she is now." level ... this definitely won't be her last Super Bowl halftime show."

……

On the way back to the lounge, Eliza met a tall black woman in the corridor, with long blond curly hair scattered casually.

Seeing Elisa, she raised her eyebrows, and the moment her lips curled up obliquely, even the corners of her eyes and brows became romantic on her originally indifferent face.

"It's our first meeting, I'm Eliza Lin." Eliza stretched out her hand towards the front.

"Hello." The black woman shook hands with Eliza briefly, and said with a smile, "I'm going to rehearsal now, so I'm leaving first."

It wasn't until the black woman left that Eliza puffed up her cheeks and exhaled.

Although Eliza knew about the other guests who were invited to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show before coming to the rehearsal, she didn't expect to meet Beyoncé when she came back from the first rehearsal.

The thought of being able to cooperate with Beyoncé on the stage of the Super Bowl made Eliza feel pressured, but at the same time, she was still a little eager to try.

……

The first rehearsal is just to allow the singer to get used to the venue a little bit and to get acquainted with the on-site production team, especially for someone like Elisa who has never worked with the director once, the importance of the first rehearsal is indisputable replace.

And during the rehearsal the next day, the singer was required to start cooperating on the spot.

This time, the guests invited to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show, in addition to Elisa and Beyoncé, also include Coldplay and "Brother Mars" Bruno Mars.Among these four, Elisa, as a rookie singer who debuted for only one year, is undoubtedly a junior in the music industry.

When she came to the rehearsal venue the next morning, Elisa saw the Coldplay band cross-legged in a row on the grass at a glance.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, turned his head first. Before Elisa introduced himself, he raised his hand and poked the guitarist Johnny Buckland next to him, "Hey, Johnny, your favorite singer."

Elisa was at a loss, and saw the familiar light in Johnny's eyes the moment he saw her.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Johnny Buckland, I'm the guitarist in Coldplay." Under Elisa's watchful eyes, Johnny stood up from the ground with one hand, walked quickly to Elisa and said This paragraph of self-introduction.

"Hi, I'm Elisa Lin, a singer."

After the two shook hands, the reserved expression on Johnny's face seemed to disintegrate in an instant, "I bought your album, and there are a few songs in it that I have been repeating for a long time."

"Really?" Elisa was a little surprised, "I also like your songs very much. I have downloaded almost all of your songs on iTunes."

Elisa and Johnny started from the repertoire of the Super Bowl halftime show. After a few words, the sense of estrangement when they met for the first time seemed to disappear instantly.After talking about it, Elisa simply sat down on the lawn with her legs crossed and hummed the melody directly, and Johnny quickly presented a simplified version of the concept with the guitar.

The two chatted more and more excitedly.

When Beyoncé arrived, what she saw was that Elisa and Johnny were sitting in the middle and arguing in full swing, while the rest of the Coldplay band rested their cheeks and formed a circle around them. There are thoughtful expressions on everyone's face.Chris Martin listened carefully to the debate between the two, occasionally nodding slightly or frowning slightly to express his opinion.

It wasn't until the director arrived that Eliza broke away from this state of discussion.

Although Elisa and Coldplay had never worked together before, this was an unexpected tacit understanding during the first rehearsal.During the rehearsal, if at a certain position Elisa feels that there are still some places that are not in place, Coldplay can easily understand what Elisa means, and Elisa's harmony is in the first coordination. When it is time, it is perfectly integrated into the music of Coldplay.

After Eliza and Coldplay's first rehearsal, after the last high note, Eliza turns in the direction of Coldplay and gives a distant thumbs up.He saw four thumbs raised in front of him.This scene made Eliza laugh out loud without noticing.
