Chapter 280 280 Screaming Fans
When it comes to New York, one can't seem to leave the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and Central Park. Of course, in the world's largest city, there are countless tourist attractions worth mentioning. This is Hugo's second visit to New York within a year. Because of the filming of "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo and the entire crew arrived in New York quietly, and there was no enthusiastic pursuit by the media. Obviously, Hugo and Meg, who were not doing well recently, were not able to attract the media. firepower.
The lack of media attention naturally had no effect on the crew, and the crew went non-stop to the Empire State Building, where they will film the final encounter between Sam and Annie in the play, which is the finale of the film.
Nora Ephron's inspiration for writing the script "Sleepless in Seattle" came from the movie "Jinyumeng". The heroine's favorite movie in the play is "Jinyumeng", and the finale of the movie is also to make up for "Jinyumeng". "The hero and heroine were not able to meet at the Empire State Building."
Therefore, Nora arranged for Sam and Anne to meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building at the end of the story, which is the perfect ending to this love that came about because of the radio. At the same time, this is also the first real meeting and conversation between Sam and Anne. So how to grasp the spark generated by this meeting is very important, so that the story can draw a perfect ending.
Since Nora wanted to shoot on location at the Empire State Building to be as realistic as possible, after obtaining the Empire State Building's consent, the crew had to shoot the film in a very tight schedule, and they had to complete it within one night. The filming of the scene was not only because of the coordination with the Empire State Building, but also because of the pressure of renting the filming venue - the cost of shooting on-site at the Empire State Building is not cheap.
The Empire State Building is one of the most important and iconic buildings in New York. It was not only the tallest building in the world, but also known as one of the seven engineering wonders of the world. Symbol of recovery. Of course, standing on the top of the Empire State Building is also a must-see. King Kong (King. Kong) climbed the Empire State Building and stood at the "top of the world".
So, when Hugo climbed to the top of the Empire State Building, the first thing he did was to leave the entire crew behind, walk to the edge of the building, and look at the entire steel forest in Manhattan from here. New York is one of the cities with the most high-rise buildings in the world, especially on the small island of Manhattan, where hundreds of concrete buildings are scattered in every corner of the island, forming an icy forest, dense in sight. Extending from the ground, the silver, yellow, and red rays of light are scattered around the forest like countless fireflies, vaguely outline the arc of the forest, and spread high and low to the horizon, and then you can see A dark blue jade belt cuts off the forest - it should be the Hudson River, and then there is a gray area that gradually lowers.
This artificially constructed spectacular scene brings a sense of magical visual impact, which is different from the spiritual baptism brought by the grandeur of nature. In front of you is a picture of human beings stacked up brick by brick, more of a This kind of spiritual shock is like the feeling of seeing the Great Wall, the Pyramids and the Hanging Gardens.
"So, how does it feel?" Meg also walked to Hugo's side and asked while looking at the scene in front of her. However, the oncoming wind made her take a big breath of air when she spoke, and she couldn't help coughing twice.
Hugo's eyes were also a little dry from the strong wind. He turned his head to avoid the limelight that was coming directly, and looked at Meg and laughed, "Cold?" It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and it was March again. In New York, the weather is not only cold, it can even be described as biting.
Meg was bowing her head and rubbing her eyes, and was immediately amused by Hugo. She tilted her head and glanced at Hugo, and said with a smile, "I thought there should be more sighs in other content."
"Yes, yes..." Hugo nodded again and again, and he squinted his eyes again and looked into the distance, "I heard that standing here can see the scenery of the five nearby states, but... I don't know, I even Brook now Lin can't see it."
"Don't you notice it's night now?" Meg chuckled softly. "There aren't that many nearby cities that never sleep except New York." There are not many cities.
"That's a pity, I originally planned to enjoy the scenery of other states." Hugo spread his hands and expressed regret.
"Then you should choose to travel." Meg retorted with a chuckle.
"Hugo? Hugo! Ah... Hugo!" Hugo and Meg's chat was interrupted by a series of screams from behind, which startled Meg, and Hugo subconsciously took a half step back and The lady stood behind her, turned her head to look at the situation, and then saw two girls running wildly in front, and behind them were the familiar faces of several crew members.
The scene was organizing tourists to cooperate with the filming just now, because Jonah arrived at the Empire State Building before Annie and Sam met. There were many tourists at that time, so Nora hoped that some tourists could stay and cooperate with the filming of the crew. On the one hand, the crew began to set up shooting equipment such as lights and microphones.
But at this time, two girls obviously broke through the blockade of the staff and rushed towards Hugo and Meg, and listening to their voices, the target was Hugo.
Almost as soon as Hugo reacted, the two girls rushed in front of Hugo, and then shouted excitedly and excitedly, "Hugo, Hugo..." They seemed to be overwhelmed by being too excited. Not knowing what to say other than shouting Hugo's name.
The staff behind him had already caught up, and then held the two girls, apologized to Hugo, and persuaded the two girls to obey the order, but Hugo raised his hand to stop the staff, "It's alright, it's alright. , we're all right." Hugo looked back at Meg and asked, "Are you all right?"
Meg nodded and lifted her chin with a smile. "This is your fan."
Hugo turned his head with a smile and looked at the girl standing on the right, "You... um, have we met before?" Hugo has always had trouble remembering people's names. A large number of people's names were recorded in his mind, and many times he looked at the face and felt familiar, but he still couldn't match the names, and that was the case at this time.
"You remember me?" The girl started screaming again in excitement, "Ah...ah! Do you remember me?"
Hugo couldn't help showing a bitter smile. The test of his eardrum was really tough, but he still smiled and nodded, "Yes, but...sorry, I don't remember when I saw you." After the big-name suspicion not long ago, Hugo's mentality has changed again, so seeing fans who are willing to scream for himself again, compared to excitement, it is more accurate to describe Hugo's mood with joy. So, Hugo honestly said what he thought: he did not remember when or where he saw the girl.
Meg looked at Hugo who was telling the truth, and couldn't help but open her mouth, not to mention her, and even the three staff members who followed her laughed in surprise. Hugo's slightly stupid behavior was not a big deal for a star. Undesirable. Celebrities can't remember fans, that's normal. Occasionally, there will be hundreds of fans at a premiere. How can every face have an impression, but stars will never admit it, because this It will be a kind of "hurt" to the fans' mood, but Hugo admits it so loudly, which is really dumbfounding.
However, the girl obviously didn't care at all, she was still excited, as if she would faint in the next second, but she still tried to evoke Hugo's memory, "I was at the Universal Cinema with my father before. Watching 'Yihai Xiongfeng', and then I met you..." Hugo still shook his head honestly, and the onlookers rolled their eyes again, "Uh...uh...I, I started screaming when I saw you, and then Caused many people to gather around?"
"Screaming?" Hugo seemed to finally have an impression. Of course, he remembered the time when he was surrounded by a large group of fans when he watched "The Hero of the Righteous Sea" at the Universal Cinema. It was the first time he encountered such an attitude, and it was also the first time It made him realize that he was already a little popular. But at this time, Hugo overlapped the screaming girl with the girl in front of him.
"Ah! Ah!" The girl screamed again, but this time it was more like a demonstration, successfully awakening Hugo's memory, "Oh, it's you! I remember you!" A look suddenly appeared on Hugo's face. Happy, he finally overlapped the girl in front of him with the vague image in his memory.
"Yes, yes, it's me! It's me!" The girl got carried away with joy, she could barely control her emotions, so that the friends standing beside her were forgotten by her, and her friends could only have a helpless expression on their faces .
"Nice to meet you." Hugo's smile finally fully bloomed. Whenever and wherever, it is always a pleasure to meet his supporters, especially Hugo is now in a difficult period. It was hard for him to feel that he was still supported.
"Ah...ah..." This was the girl's answer. She looked at Hugo's outstretched right hand and didn't even dare to hold it. She could only look at Hugo's right hand and kept screaming.
Hugo's right hand was hanging in the air, which was quite embarrassing. He could only reach out and pat the girl's arm politely, which resulted in a more exaggerated scream, which bravely hit the raging wind on the roof of the Empire State Building, but Hugo couldn't help it. Laughing out, the reaction of the girl in front of him was really funny, "What's your name? Uh... Although I may not remember it, politely, I still want to know, because you left a deep impression on me. Impressions, by screaming."
"Ah! Ah!" The eye-rolling answer appeared again.
