Chapter 894 894 Idol Trend

Located next to Hyde Park (Hyde. Park), the University of Chicago (University. Of. Chicago) is the most beautiful corner of the third city in the United States, in addition to Hyde Park, where Jackson Park (Jackson. Park) in the east, west According to Washington Park (Washington. Park), the pleasant scenery still retains the only buildings that have been preserved since the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The antique Gothic buildings are slowly unfolding around the garden, like a European medieval castle.

The University of Chicago is one of the most prestigious universities in the United States. Its School of Economics, Law School and Business School are among the top in the United States. Its status and contribution in academic research are even more commendable. The "Chicago School" has made unparalleled contributions to American education, culture and scholarship.

And when Barack-****** (Barack. Obama) became the first black president in American history, the University of Chicago, as the school where he taught when he was young, was even more famous in many areas outside the United States.

When Jay Leno walked into the courtyard-style building with strong European characteristics at the University of Chicago, he was greeted with a vibrant scene. Even in the sweltering heat of summer, the campus was filled with refreshing water vapor, as if the sun was shining. The printing and dyeing are softened in the boundless green.

The square in front of me was bustlingly full of people, and the young and energetic faces were filled with joy and excitement. At a rough glance, there were at least 700 people, and everyone gathered in twos and threes. Talking happily together makes the plaza look like it's a college celebration or the start of a football season.

Suddenly a voice shouted, "Jie Leno!" In an instant, the entire square boiled, and the crowd rushed over quickly and surrounded Jie. The four bodyguards standing beside Jie immediately protected him. Move slowly at the speed of a snail in the crowd.

Jay had absolutely no idea that he would be able to enjoy such raucous shouting and screaming at a top university like the University of Chicago.

Jay did not actually graduate from a regular university. He had not yet graduated from high school. He entered Emerson College (Emerson. College) under the recommendation of a counselor and obtained a bachelor's degree. Although Emerson College has now become one of the first schools in the United States to award degrees in drama, art, speech and debate, mass communication and journalism, when he was studying, it was only a discussion and research-based speech and debate professional school. Like a vocational school.

Although Jie knows that a college degree doesn't mean anything, standing on the campus of the University of Chicago, feeling the strong academic atmosphere and the cheers of college students, is still a wonderful feeling. However, Jay also knew that these cries were not aimed at him - at least he was not the protagonist.

"Jie, when will Hugo appear?" "Jie, can't we open up some more places? I really want to go in..." "God, Hugo is really handsome, please tell him... ..." "Is Hugo really coming? Is it really Hugo?" "Long live NBC! Long live NBC!" "I love Hugo, I love Hugo!"

Today, NBC moved the taping of "The Tonight Show" from Burbank, Los Angeles to Chicago, all for Hugo Lancaster!

Although it has only been two weeks since the release of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", it has become an iconic phenomenon in the United States, especially Hugo, the hero, who has become an idol in the hearts of countless people by relying on this film. This made the already hot "Road to Glory" tour even more crowded.

But it's a pity that the Glory to the Dead fans are strongly holding the "Road to Glory" tour tickets in their hands - they will not be merciful to give the opportunity to watch the show to "those who are hotheaded moviegoers" . In this regard, the fans of Glory to Death and Hugo's fans have diverged opinions, and there have been many disputes.

In order to cooperate with the promotion of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", in the past two weeks, Hugo has participated in the recording of several radio programs as much as possible, and also participated in local fan meetings in Nashville and New Orleans, and walked in with everyone. Movie theaters watch "Life and Death", but even so, Hugo's promotional itinerary is too small and too few to meet the needs of the majority of moviegoers.

In this case, NBC's "The Tonight Show" issued an interview invitation. To be precise, it was not "The Tonight Show" that invited Rick Rosen, but Jay Leno to Hugo, because here Previously, Rick had rejected more than double-digit TV interviews, and Rick knew that Hugo needed to devote himself to the tour, so there was no problem with his cooperation with Henry in this regard. So NBC wanted to invite Hugo through Jay's personal friendship.

Hugo also refused at first because he really didn't have time to record a TV show, let alone fly to Los Angeles. As a result, Jie made a proposal that Hugo couldn't refuse: "The Tonight Show" came to Chicago, and Hugo only needed 120 minutes to record the show.

So Hugo nodded.

After the news was confirmed, almost all TV stations were boiling. Although everyone knew that Jie and Hugo had a very good relationship, they didn't expect that Hugo actually agreed, which made other TV stations embarrassed: this is the ratings rate, this is advertising revenue!

Under the envious eyes of other TV stations, Jay came to Chicago with the "Tonight Show" program group. Originally, they planned to enter the studio to record, but when you think about it carefully, the atmosphere in a studio that can only accommodate up to 300 people is still not hot enough. Since they have already planned to make this interview into a special program, it is better to start from head to toe. "Special" in the end. Therefore, Jie came to the University of Chicago and moved the program recording venue to the university lecture hall, where the program was recorded in a lecture hall that could accommodate 1,500 spectators.

But the fact is that the 1,500 seats still cannot accommodate the current enthusiasm for "speed of life and death". After deducting the 50 seats reserved for reporters, the remaining 1,450 seats are only three. It can be sold out within an hour. What is even more depressing is that even the staff of NBC's own other programs can't get a ticket for internal tickets. After the reporters learned the news, they asked for tickets. The media followed one after another, but they were all one step too late. For a time, all the connections were activated, and even the top management of NBC TV station was alarmed. This is definitely the sweet trouble of "The Tonight Show".

Even so, when Jie arrived at the recording site, he saw a surging crowd of more than 700 people. Obviously, these were all people who could not enter the recording site without tickets. They all hoped to get the opportunity to enter the lecture hall at the nearest moment. The noise almost made Jay think he was at the Chicago Bulls' home court on game day.

In 1994, Michael Jordan's career golden age, after the Chicago Bulls just completed three consecutive championships, although Jordan announced his retirement last year and joined the Major League Baseball (MLB), but he is currently in the The influence of the NBA is still unmatched.

Jay felt like he was at the home of the Chicago Bulls, and he was like Michael Jordan. The noise and turbulence of the scene almost made him feel that he would be submerged at any time. He used every part of his body to feel people's enthusiasm for Hugo, which made him sigh.

In fact, there are as many as 1,200 spectators gathered at the scene today, which is almost comparable to the number of spectators entering the venue. This group of spectators who have not been able to obtain admission tickets is still unwilling, including movie fans, including For fans, they all hope to get up close and personal with Hugo and be able to participate in the recording of "The Tonight Show". Even if they can't, they are willing to be part of the scene.

Jie finally entered the lecture hall, and then saw that the 1,500 seats in front of him were already filled. Not only that, there were many people standing on both sides, at least two hundred people, maybe more. More: Some people are holding cameras, and they seem to be reporters; some people are wearing work permits, and they seem to be staff members of the program; there are some unfamiliar faces, I don’t know if they are additional viewers who were added by the program later...

The background has also been set up on the stage directly in front. The familiar "Tonight Show" background is only slightly empty - this stage is nearly twice the size of the Burbank studio, and the cameras are all set up, but the staff still When debugging the lights, the whole lecture hall was filled with suppressed excitement. When Jie appeared, everyone turned their heads, and then whistles and applause rang out.

Jie knew that the audience was cheering for themselves, or praising the wise choice of "The Tonight Show", but in any case, Jie could feel that today's recording was the same as before, but it was different. Even he himself began to faintly look forward to it.

The program team is all ready, and Jie has also completed the preparations and sat on the podium, and now the protagonist Hugo has not arrived at the scene.

Jie glanced at his watch anxiously, it was only 2:30 in the afternoon, and the recording time they had made with Hugo was 3:00. Since Hugo will be on stage for a tour at 8 o'clock tonight, he has to rehearse after getting up in the morning, so Joseph informed the program team before that Hugo will try to arrive on time at 3 o'clock. This means that the time has not yet come, but Jie is still a little nervous.

nervous? Or it is more accurate to describe it with excitement. It is really interesting to conduct interviews and interviews in front of more than 1,500 audiences.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the lecture hall. At first, it was just a rustling noise, and then it broke out without any foreshadowing. That kind of screaming screams unreasonably tore apart the sound in the lecture hall. Calm, the heat wave of the midsummer sweltering heat was smashed head-on, and in a trance, I felt that the entire lecture hall began to shake, and the emotions of the audience who were sitting restlessly were also completely ignited, and the atmosphere inside the lecture hall was completely ignited. It also started to boil.

Everyone knows that Hugo is here.
