The orderly waiting line of yellow and 'colored' taxis at the airport's 'gate' reminded Hugo of the scene of the streets of New York, where Hugo and Joseph easily got into a taxi and headed for Michigan Avenue (arsenic. avenue).

After entering the city, Hugo looked at the electric report board on the side of the road outside the window, which showed the time on the top and the temperature below, and the temperature on the report board would change almost every other way, and the time interval was not a few minutes at all, which made Hugo quite stunned, "Are we still in Chicago now?" Just now at the airport 'gate' it's like...... It's only 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), but I just saw that the report board said that it was 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius), which ...... Are they two different regions?"

Hugo's words have not yet fallen, and the report board on the side of the road shows that the latest temperature has become 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes the expression on Hugo's face stunned, this is like coming to another world, the temperature changes back and forth between winter, 'spring' days, and autumn, which is too abnormal!

"You read that right, welcome to Chicago." The taxi driver smiled and said, "You're in Windy City for the first time, aren't you?" The weather here is unpredictable, often in the morning is still 'spring', in the afternoon is winter, even within an hour of low temperatures will fluctuate greatly. When I went out of town to the airport, it was 65 degrees Fahrenheit. ”

Hugo thought it was amazing, "Do you mean it really? Is it because of this strong wind on Lake Michigan?"

"I'm not a meteorologist." The taxi driver still smiled and said, "But, I guess." You see, now that another gust of wind is blowing, the temperature is definitely going to drop. ”

Hugo immediately looked out of the window, a building not far away hung an Illinois state flag, rising in the wind, hunting, although through a layer of glass windows, but can still feel the strong wind outside the window, the pedestrians on the street skillfully lowered their heads, included their heads in the windbreaker, and walked quickly against the wind, but the wind was too strong, so that the windbreaker also fluttered in the wind, it looked so spectacular.

The temperature displayed on the roadside report board seemed to drop rapidly with the raging wind, and in an instant it actually dropped to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, which made Hugo breathtaking.

Suddenly, there was a rapid phone ringing in the carriage, and the three of them were a little stunned, curious about what the sound was, and the taxi driver was even worried about whether there was a problem with the car, and finally Hugo was the first to react, "Call!" Then he patted Joseph, "Mobile phone!" Hugo hadn't used a mobile phone for a year, and he was still not comfortable with carrying it with him.

Joseph is a novice, he realized that he can call at any time now, and hurriedly rummaged through his phone, Hugo quickly comforted the taxi driver, "It's okay, it's a mobile phone, we have forgotten." The taxi driver couldn't help but laugh too.

Joseph finally found the mobile phone, the rapid ringtone was constantly urging, Joseph frowned and opened the flip cover, and then hesitated not knowing what to do, he could only look helplessly at Hugo, Hugo pointed to the keyboard, "green" color button. It dawned on Joseph that he pressed the green button and put it next to his ear.

"Good morning, this is Joseph Gibbs." Joseph said in a bit of a panic, but there was no sound from the other party, which made Joseph frown, "Hello? Hello! Anyone?"

Hugo immediately understood that it must be a signal problem. The current mobile phone technology is not fully mature, and the number of cell towers is not enough, and the call quality is indeed a big problem. However, Hugo had never used a phone before, so he didn't know what the quality was, and it could be seen from Joseph's irritated expression now that the quality was not satisfactory.

"Whew, finally ...... Who's there, please?" Joseph's eyebrows immediately stretched, and words finally came from the other end.

Hugo sat next to him and could faintly hear some rustling sounds, mixed with a man's voice, but he couldn't hear them clearly. Obviously, the same was true of Joseph, his eyebrows gathered again, trying to hear the other man's words clearly, and the conversation was intermittent.

"Oh, that's right...... What the? Yes, I don't know about it, maybe I didn't confirm the message, it's a pity...... Sorry again? It's okay, it's okay, we're on the rental now, uh...... Hire! Yes, we have no problem. What the? Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. See you in one minute. Yes? I said, I'll see you later!"

After a phone call, Hugo sat next to him and felt sweating profusely, let alone Joseph. Joseph leaned directly back in the chair, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the mobile phone seriously, and sighed, "I really can't hear clearly." There was a pause, "But it's convenient, albeit a little harder." Joseph still had a smile on his face.

"What's the matter?" Hugo's exclamation in this regard is naturally not there, so his attention is still locked on the content of the phone.

"Oh, it's the assistant of the show." Only then did Joseph remember, "They sent someone to the airport to pick us up, but I didn't confirm the message before I left, the mobile phone was in my luggage bag, and I missed the call, so I didn't know about it, we left directly, they waited at the airport for a long time, and then called me to confirm." ”

Hugo nodded repeatedly, "Ah, I didn't expect that. The program team actually sent someone to pick up the airport, and this kind of treatment was also the first time Hugo felt that in the past two months, the benefits brought by the success of the two movies have really come one after another.

"yes, I didn't expect that either." Joseph was also a little surprised, he could feel the importance of Hugo by the "Oprah talk show" program team, which made him faintly excited, because this was the affirmation of Hugo.

"Maybe next time we'll get used to it." The corners of Hugo's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said with a smile. After sighing, Hugo said casually, "It's still not convenient now, maybe in the future, you can directly confirm the message on your mobile phone, or communicate through guò email, it will be much more convenient." ”

"What, what did you say?" Joseph obviously didn't have any ideas about Hugo's advanced thoughts, and looked at him with a 'confused' and 'confused' face.

"No, nothing." Hugo shook his head, couldn't help but look out the window, and quickly changed the subject, "Wow, look, the temperature has changed again, how do I feel like I'm in a sauna, watching the thermometer change up and down." ”

Hugo's topic was picked up by the taxi driver, who had been silent for a while, "At the strictest time, it is not impossible for the temperature to change once a minute. Taxi drivers are obviously used to Chicago's climate, "You know, the all-time highs here have been over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), but the all-time lows have also been over -90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). ”

"Wow, this is a magical city." Hugo's exclamation involuntarily blurted out, and Hugo thought of something new. Xinjiang, where the temperature is also like this, "wear a leather jacket in the morning, wear a yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon ...... the stove".

Joseph sat next to him, his attention also shifted, and he sighed again and again, but when he heard Hugo's fussy words, he still couldn't help but smile, "You should worry about your health." "Chicago's unpredictable weather is not easy for outsiders to adapt to, so choosing the right outfit is important.

When I came from Los Angeles, the temperature in Los Angeles remained around 60 degrees Fahrenheit for the past two days, although there was a temperature difference between morning and evening, but it was not an exaggeration, and the hottest time during the day was 70 degrees Fahrenheit. And now in Chicago, this hot and cold weather is really a headache.

Although I only came here for the recording of the program, the shorter the time, the more drastic the change, so the more severe the challenge to the body's adaptability. However, this trip was also sudden, Hugo and Joseph accepted the invitation yesterday and rushed over today, which is not often the case.

According to the usual normal procedure, the invitation to the "Oprah talk show" will be sent out at least a month in advance, because this is a recording program, and the next month's broadcast schedule will be planned one month in advance, and then the guests will be arranged, the topic will be set, and the recording time will be set, which is an orderly procedure. But occasionally there will be special circumstances, such as the Los Angeles turmoil caused by the Rodney gold trial in April this year, Oprah, as a black representative of "women" and "sex", naturally produced a special program for the first time, and such a program recording was unplanned.

This time Hugo was a special case. In fact, Oprah's talk show had conceived of inviting Hugo to the show as early as early December, but the timing was still not ripe at that time, and Hugo's schedule had already been full, so it was postponed again and again. After the Golden Globe Award nominations came out this time, Oprah's talk show knew that the time had come, so they sent an invitation to Joseph as soon as possible, hoping to record the show as much as possible, and then arrange it to be broadcast before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on January 24, which fits the hot spot and boosts ratings.

That's why Hugo and Joseph came to Chicago just before the New Year to participate in the recording of the show.

After arriving at the hotel, Hugo stayed in the hotel room, while Joseph still had a job, and he didn't even pack his luggage, so he rushed directly to the program team and went to have a meeting with the program team.

An in-depth talk show like "Oprah Talk Show" has a relatively long recording time, and the scope and depth of chat are different from other talk shows, so Joseph must have a brief understanding of the process of the program and the topics that will be involved in the program, and have a preliminary understanding of the program. Again, this is to avoid discussing sensitive topics that can cause unpleasantness.

This isn't necessarily useful, but it's a must-do before the show can be recorded.
