Chapter 190 190 Hometown Taste

The previous drafting of the program may not be useful, and the host may not necessarily comply with it, but this is a link that must be carried out before the program is recorded.

Although in American programs, outspokenness and public provocation are commonplace, and making fun of entertainers' embarrassing things is something everyone will experience; but there is a bottom line, such as Tom Cruise's homosexual rumors, unless With the permission of the parties, talk openly and honestly, otherwise you can only sneer, not on the stage, or make fun of Tom Cruise when he is not present, and will never directly provoke face-to-face. Therefore, it is very important to draft the manuscript, and the program party must understand the bottom line of the guests.

Of course, there are accidents in everything, and there are still shows that take risks for the sake of ratings and have a head-on conflict with the guests. However, such an accident will obviously not happen on the "Oprah Talk Show", because the show itself hopes to heal people's wounds and become popular in the United States with a warm, comfortable but humorous and sharp style. Oprah This smart and wise woman, she knows how to grasp the scale.

After Joseph came back, Hugo got a so-called question list. Hugo flipped through it and said with a smile, "Do you think Oprah will ask questions according to this question list?"

"No." Joseph said as a matter of course without turning his head.

"Me too." Hugo also agreed, but he still flipped through the list of questions for a brief look. Although Oprah's show style is relatively approachable, the show always needs to be watched to attract the audience. If all of Oprah's questions are known by the guests and prepared in advance, it will lose the effect of the show. This is Very unwise. Therefore, the so-called list of questions everyone knows is just a pretense.

"Are you going to visit the city today?" There is still some time before sunset, and the recording of the show will wait until tomorrow, so Hugo has a lot of time to move freely, so Joseph asked this question.

Hugo flipped through the list of questions. In fact, they were all over and over topics. They were more detailed than the previous talk show, and the slight difference was that there seemed to be more questions about Uma. The gossip generated by the premiere continued well after Christmas. It is estimated that Oprah's questions will be more in-depth than other talk shows. On the one hand, it is determined by Oprah's style, and on the other hand, it is also determined by the length of the show. Oprah's talk show lasts forty minutes. , and the guests are all only one Hugo.

Hugo put two pieces of A4 paper on the coffee table and thought for a while, "Go, why not go. Isn't Michigan Avenue the prettiest place in Chicago?"

"Zhong. Guocheng is not far from here, where will dinner be done?" Joseph also wanted to go out for a walk. He went home for Christmas recently, and his mood has always been heavy. When he finally had the opportunity to come out to relax, Joseph naturally didn't want to. Willing to miss.

The liveliest area in Chicago is The Loop, but the prettiest area is Michigan Avenue, reputed to be comparable to Avenue. Des. Champs. Elysees in Paris. Comparable to the "Magnificent. Mile". The Four Seasons Hotel where Hugo stayed is located at the northern end of this avenue, with panoramic views of Lake Michigan and a high-rise overlooking this historic city. .

The reason why Michigan Avenue is compared with the Champs-Elysees is because it gathers the most exclusive storefronts in Chicago, luxurious hotels, fashionable stores, and brilliant buildings everywhere. When Hugo and Joseph left the hotel, it was the moment when the sun was setting, and the lights of the skyscrapers were slowly lighting up. The spires of the spires radiated the flickering light of searchlights, as if God were patrolling the city.

Along Michigan Avenue all the way to the south, behind you is the Chicago Water Tower (Water. Tower), which symbolizes the history of the city. This water tower of only 42 meters is completely submerged in a tall building, but the yellow stones are piled up. The resulting water tower has a unique classical charm. This building built in 1869 has witnessed the rise and fall of the entire city.

Crossing the intersection of the street, the gap between the buildings made the strong wind from Lake Michigan concentrated and raging. Almost all pedestrians walked forward with their heads lowered, as if they were going to be blown away by the strong wind if they moved slowly. . But if you have the courage to slow down a little bit, you can see that on the lake Michigan, the sailing yacht motorboat drags the waves rolled up at the tail, leisurely far away, and contrasts with the hustle and bustle of the city. A quiet and beautiful picture The picture is breathtaking.

However, there is no time to stand still and appreciate it, because the strong wind will make your footsteps involuntarily start to move sideways, and your eyes are blown away by the wind, and you can only see a hazy halo, helpless Under the circumstances, he could only walk quickly and walk to the part of the street blocked by the building, so that he could take a breath.

A walk in the Windy City isn't a walk at all, it's like exercise.

Hugo and Joseph didn't even see it after they had walked the magnificent mile of Michigan Avenue. The sign of the national city, in desperation, Hugo could only ask passers-by, and only then did he know, Zhong. The National City is not near here at all. middle. The National City is located in the south of the city. It is a full thirty miles away from here. Even if it takes 40 minutes to drive, it is simply a destination that cannot be reached on foot.

"Not far from here? Go on foot? You are serious!" Hugo looked at Joseph and asked in a mocking tone.

Joseph was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to show it. He turned his eyes away from Hugo and looked at the cars coming and going on the road. He stopped a taxi, opened the door to get in, and turned his head to look at Hugo very calmly, "If you can't get there on foot, there are still cars. The United States is a country on wheels. So, are you coming?"

Hugo was immediately amused by Joseph's ability to change the subject, and he laughed. Seeing that Hugo didn't respond, Joseph was immediately annoyed, and got into the car directly, as if he wanted to abandon Hugo. Hugo then restrained his smile, followed quickly, got into the taxi, and said, "Please come to China. Guocheng, thank you."

After the taxi started, Hugo saw Joseph who was pretending to be calm. The laughter spilled over the streets of Chicago all the way.

middle. The main street of Guocheng is called Yonghuo Street (Wentworth. Avenue). There is still a distance from the street, and you will see the red gate. When you walk in, it turns out that this is a large archway with a banner that reads "The world is for the public". , which is a traditional four-cornered roof archway, with red light buildings hanging on both sides of the vermilion pillars, and the national flags of China and the United States. The strong hometown atmosphere rushed towards him, which made Hugo immediately excited.

Walking into Yonghuo Street, there are a dazzling array of visits on both sides, followed by gift shops and Nanhuo shops. Just to the left of the big archway, there is a full center. It is a building with a national flavor, and it is written "Anliang Office". After a careful look at the annotations below, it turns out that this is Zhong. The National City Chamber of Commerce is located. Next to the Anliang Guild Building is the Zhonghua Guild Hall, and then there is a library. From a rough look outside, it is at least close to 10,000 square feet (1,000 square meters). It seems to be a big guy. The scene in the library is full of curiosity. Unfortunately, it's sunset and the library is closed.

Seeing the familiar square characters in his eyes, Hugo felt very nostalgic. Although he came across, whether it was speaking, writing, or reading, he did not feel any rejection of English, but in his bones, Hugo still missed the square characters at home, not only because of this. It is the font that I am most familiar with since I was a child, and because it proves the origin of his soul. However, most of them were in traditional Chinese characters, which made Hugo realize that this was a foreign country.

"So, what are we having for dinner?" Joseph looked at the excitement in Hugo's eyes. He couldn't understand this emotion, and he didn't know the source of Hugo's emotions, but he couldn't help but cheer up.

"Wow, let me see." Hugo blurted out that it was Chinese, which made Joseph look over in surprise, and Hugo realized that he was too excited, "Uh, I studied Chinese in college, you Do not you know?"

Hugo's predecessor was a classical literature student at Yale University, which is why he only made five films in the eight years from 1982 to 1989. This incident surprised Hugo. When Hugo recovered this memory, he even doubted the authenticity of it, because his understanding of his predecessor was really not like a person who majored in classical literature.

However, Hugo didn't know whether it was Lancaster's own, Ron Mayer or Adam Lancaster's idea to study in college, but fortunately at least his predecessor persevered, which is very commendable of. It is estimated that the predecessor was able to perform so well in the "Dead Poets Society", which is one of the important factors, because the students in the "Dead Poets Society" have a strong interest in poetry in classical literature, and express it through poetry. The desire and yearning for freedom in oneself.

Joseph nodded blankly, "I really don't know."

It seems that Joseph believed it. Hugo let out a long sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he explained, "Actually, I wanted to take the course of East Asian literature as an elective, because I have always been very interested in Eastern culture." Being able to explain to Joseph that Hugo was always on point. The reason why the Chinese culture is particularly persistent, I believe that such situations will only be more or less in the future, so Hugo just took this opportunity to find a way out for himself.

"Yes, China. China is a magical country." Joseph also nodded and did not continue to be suspicious. "Looking at these words, it is hard to imagine how they understand such profound words. And cooking, you can imagine?"

Seeing Joseph's sigh, Hugo also laughed, "I agree!" But before he could finish the words, a group of commotion quickly swarmed over, leaving both Hugo and Joseph stunned. Look around: what happened?
