Climb the Heights 838 is bustling
It was not easy to find a parking space in the dense array of cars, it only took them 30 minutes from Sunset Square to the Great Western Forum Arena, and it took more than 20 minutes to find a parking space.
Originally, Hugo thought that the draft was not a real live broadcast of the game after all, and the tickets should not be too tight, but after arriving at the scene and seeing the surging crowd, Hugo knew that there must be a lot of viewers who were eager to get tickets to enter the scene to observe.
When approaching the entrance of the arena, you can see a lot of fans wandering around holding signs asking for tickets, but these slogans asking for tickets are quite interesting, some write "San Francisco 49ers fans are hungry for tickets", some write "cry for the Cincinnati Tigers' defensive line", some write "specifically to support Blaitter", and some write "University of Mississippi supporters", from NFL teams to rookie names, from professional fans to college supporters, fans can be described as doing everything they can to get tickets.
When someone noticed Hugo's gaze, they thought that Hugo had the intention of selling tickets, and immediately walked over with excitement on his face, and almost gave Hugo a warm hug, but learned that Hugo was just curious, and the other party could only jump in place depressedly.
It's a fun spectacle, and it's part of rugby culture, and even if it's just a rookie game, it can still drive fans crazy.
Some people are eager for the team they support to add fresh blood from the rookie conference, so as to thoroughly analyze everyone and every position in the rookie camp, and then give the team advice to see how the draft is the best deal; Some people support a specific rookie or college team, and have been rookie fans since high school and college, hoping that the rookie can stand out and create a zào in the NFL...... This kind of fanaticism is the essence of sports. Before the draft began, Hugo was already looking forward to it. Walking into the arena with the crowds, fortunately, as the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Great Western Forum Arena has enough entrances to evacuate the crowd, so entering the arena takes less time than expected.
After entering the stadium, you can immediately feel the taste of history, this is an old stadium built more than 20 years ago, it is the same age as Hugo, whether it is the neatly arranged orange seats, or the simple and simple lighting, or the arrangement of the commentary seats and broadcast seats, they are full of traces of history.
Samora led the way at the front and quickly found a seat, not in the front row near the pitch, but in the seventh row, a little behind.
Generally speaking, when you go to the stadium, the closer you get to the stadium, the more exciting it is, and you can often see the superstars in the first three rows when it is broadcast on TV. But today isn't a live game, it's a draft conference, so the top three rows are reserved for the news media, who have to report on the draft results on the front lines.
In fact, the arrangement of these positions is also exquisite, because the rookies in football are from various universities, universities are in different states, and there is also competition between regions, for example, the most promising rookies to win the draft this year are from Ohio State University (the. ohi0。 state。 UY), San Diego State University (SAN. die90。 state。 UY), the University of Tennessee, and the University of Southern California (UY. of。 southern。 california)。
With the home advantage, the California-born media occupies the main position in the first row, Tennessee has also found its place in the first row because of the good tradition of football, and Ohio has been placed in the second row, but it is still a prime position.
In such a situation, Hugo, the ordinary audience or the family members of the rookies who came to watch the talent conference, could only sit in the back.
Before Samora sat down, he couldn't wait to start shouting "popcorn, popcorn", Joseph was holding two buckets of popcorn in his hands, and looked helplessly at Samora, who was holding a Coke in both hands, "Do you sit down first, put things away, and then start eating?"
But Samora shook her head solemnly, "I still want to buy pizza!" Joseph couldn't refute a word, sat down depressedly, then put the popcorn on his knees, Samora gave the Coke to Hugo and the three of them, and then trotted all the way out again, and the stout figure was so flexible in the dense crowd, it was really amazing.
Hugo and Leonardo are talking about this year's rookie, in fact this is the hottest topic in the last two months, no one is exempt, almost everyone is talking about these things, if you really don't know anything, then you are really outdated.
At this time, someone sat down next to him, and they were also arguing about the rookie, and a voice was saying, "...... It's not that he's not good at it, it's that the Tigers don't need a quarterback right now, you know, the Tigers are terrible defensively......"
Hugo just casually raised his eyes and glanced at it, and then he saw the figure of an acquaintance, "Hey, Steven." "It was Steven Spielberg, "I thought you gave us the tickets and you didn't come yourself." ”
Steven gave Hugo a warm hug, and a light smile was on his face, "How is it possible, I won't miss such a feast." Then Steven stepped aside a little, pointed to the man behind him, and said to Hugo, "David, do you remember?"
David Geffen, how could Hugo not remember, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, the two seem to have met before, at the Oscars, right? Hugo's memory was a little vague, but fortunately, face blindness was not strict to the point of amnesia, and he hurriedly smiled and stretched out his right hand, "David, are you also interested in the draft?"
David grabbed Hugo's right hand, then leaned forward gently, and turned the handshake into a hug, so enthusiastic, it made Hugo a little uncomfortable, a little stunned, and then heard David say with a smile, "No, I'm not interested in rugby, I still like basketball more." But Steven forced me to come, and I had a hard time refusing. ”
This ridicule made Steven immediately complain, "You can completely refuse, I can ask Jeffrey to accompany me." ”
Hugo was only stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, Jeffrey? Is it Jeffrey Katzenberg? If it is, does that mean that the dream factory that will change the Hollywood landscape in the future will be built? Inadvertently, Hugo seems to be witnessing history again.
"You're so cautious, if I refuse, I don't know what bad things you'll say about me when I go back." David spoke quite openly, but it could be seen that his personal relationship with Steven was indeed very good, and one sentence made Steven extremely depressed but unable to cry or laugh.
After David finished speaking, he moved his gaze back to Hugo, "Are you also here with your friends today?"
Hugo hurriedly introduced Joseph and Leonardo to each other, Leonardo obviously didn't expect such a big person to suddenly come out, and he was still a little restrained. When Steven and David sat down, Leonardo quietly tugged at Hugo's sleeve and whispered, "You can sit here." ”
If the original seat was followed, Leonardo would be sitting next to Steven, so he asked to switch places with Hugo. Leonardo saw the banter in Hugo's eyes, but his eyes widened in annoyance, "It's convenient for you to talk!"
Hugo shrugged, "I didn't refute it. Then he sat down in Leonardo's place, causing Leonardo to stand there with a depressed face, gritted his teeth, and then sat down next to Hugo, picked up the popcorn in Joseph's hand and began to eat.
Steven turned to Hugo and lowered his voice and said, "I heard you graduated from Yale?" Your school has a long history of rugby. ”
"Do you mean the last century? If that's the case, we can really compete with Princeton. "Hugo has completely integrated memory, so he naturally knows a lot about Yale University.
As Hugo said, in the last century, Yale University and Princeton University were the absolute rulers of the football game of the college league, and in the major league cups, Yale University swept 18 trophies, while Princeton University won 20 trophies, ranking in the top two of the major universities in the United States.
But in the twentieth century, after the thirties to be precise, Yale and Princeton University fell sharply and gradually surpassed by their rivals, and that glorious history of football was lost in time. Nowadays, when people mention famous football schools, they generally say Stanford University, the University of Michigan, the University of Alabama, etc., and there are countless NFL names from these universities.
Steven laughed when he heard Hugo's self-deprecation, "At least you still have the history of your alma mater to talk about, I don't even have an alma mater." In order to study film, Steven applied to two of the best universities in the United States for film majors: the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles, but unfortunately they were rejected outright because of poor grades, and it was not until many years after Steven's success that he became an honorary bachelor at the University of Southern California.
"The university represents the further study of knowledge, but it does not represent a qiē. What makes the movie so fascinating is that it doesn't have any threshold, and any talented person can achieve their dreams. So, you're sitting here, on the left-hand side of a Yale graduate. Hugo's ridicule made Steven immediately burst into laughter, and even David, Leonardo and others also smiled.
After laughing, Steven turned his gaze to the court, "How is it, do you have a rookie you like?" Or is there a rookie on the team you're backing?"
