190 Taste of Hometown
The script before the program may not be useful, and the host may not abide by 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, making fun of artists' troubles is something that everyone will experience; But this also has a bottom line, for example, Tom Cruise's same-sex rumors, unless they get the permission of the parties to have an open and honest 'sex' conversation, they can only be sarcastic, not on the table, or Tom Cruise is not present to ridicule, and will never be directly provoked face-to-face. Therefore, the script is particularly important, and the program must understand the bottom line of the guests.
Of course, there are accidents in everything, and there are still programs that will take risks for the sake of ratings and have a head-on conflict with the guests. However, such an accident obviously will 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.
When Joseph returned, Hugo got a so-called list of questions, and Hugo flipped through it and said with a smile, "Do you think Oprah will ask questions according to this list of questions?"
"Nope." Joseph didn't look back, and said as a matter of course.
"Me too." Hugo agreed, but he opened the list of questions and looked at them briefly. Although Oprah's program style is relatively approachable, the show always needs to be interesting to attract the audience, and if Oprah's questions are all known by the guests and prepared in advance, it will lose the effect of the show, which is very unwise. So, the so-called list of questions is just a show.
"Are you going to go to the city today?" There was still some time before sunset, and the recording of the show was not until tomorrow, so Hugo had a lot of time to move freely, so Joseph asked.
Hugo flipped through the list of questions, in fact, they were all about the topics that were turned over and over, more detailed than the previous talk shows, and the slight difference was that the questions about Uma seemed to have increased a little, and it seemed that the scandal created by the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" continued after Christmas. It is estimated that Oprah's questions will be a little 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 program, Oprah's talk show has 40 minutes, and the guests are only one Hugo.
Hugo put two pieces of A4 paper on the coffee table and thought, "Go, why not." Didn't you say Michigan Avenue is the prettiest place in Chicago?"
Medium. The city is not far from here, and dinner is settled there?" Joseph also wants to go out for a walk, and recently went home for Christmas, and his mood has been relatively heavy, and he finally had the opportunity to come out for a walk, and Joseph naturally did not want to miss it.
The liveliest area in Chicago is the Loop (the. loop), but the prettiest area is Michigan Avenue, known as the Champs-Élysées Avenue (AVEPS) that rivals Paris. e1ysees) is comparable to the "Magile." Hugo's Four Seasons Hotel is located at the northern end of the avenue, offering panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the historic city.
The reason why Michigan Avenue is compared to the Champs-Élysées is that it is home to some of Chicago's most exclusive storefronts, with luxurious hotels, trendy shops, splendid buildings, and a constant flow of cars on the boulevard. When Hugo and Joseph left the hotel, it was the time of sunset, and the lights of the skyscrapers were slowly lit, and the bodies of the buildings outlined a majestic and spectacular arc in the fiery red sky, and the pointed roofs of several high-rise buildings 'shot' searchlights flickered, as if God was patrolling the city.
Heading south along Michigan Avenue is the Chicago Water Tower (OWAR), a symbol of the city's history, which is only 42 meters completely submerged in a tall building, but the yellow 'colored' stone tower has a unique classical charm, and the building built in 1869 has witnessed the rise and fall of the entire city.
At the intersection of the streets, the gaps between the buildings caused the wind to blow over Lake Michigan to concentrate and rage, and almost all pedestrians walked briskly with their heads down, as if they were about to be blown away by a strong wind if they were a little slower. But if you have the courage to slow down a little, you can see the sailing yacht on the surface of Lake Michigan, dragging the tail rolled up 'waves' and 'flowers', leisurely and far away, in the noise and prosperity of the city against a quiet and beautiful picture, which is breathtaking.
However, there is no time to stand still and admire, because the strong wind will make your steps involuntarily start to move sideways, and your eyes will be blown away by the wind, and you can only see a hazy halo. A walk in the Windy City isn't a walk at all, it's like exercise. After walking the magnificent mile of Michigan Avenue, Hugo and Joseph did not see it. The sign of the national city, in desperation, Hugo could only ask passers-by, and then he knew, in. The national city is not around here at all. Middle. The city is on the south side of the city, a full thirty miles away, and even a forty-minute drive, which is a destination that cannot be reached on foot.
"Not far from here? Walking to? You're serious!" Hugo looked at Joseph and asked rhetorically in a mocking tone.
Joseph was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to show it, his eyes turned to avoid Hugo's sight, and then looked at the cars coming and going on the road, Enn haha for a while, raised his hand and stopped a taxi, opened the car 'door' and prepared to go up, and turned his head to look at Hugo very calmly, "I can't walk, and there are cars, the United States is a country on wheels." So, are you coming?"
Hugo was amused by Joseph's ability to change the subject, and laughed heartily. Seeing that Hugo did not respond, Joseph immediately became angry and got into the car directly, with a great posture of abandoning Hugo. Hugo restrained his smile at this time, hurriedly followed, got into the taxi, and then said, "Please get there." Guocheng, thank you. ”
After the taxi started, Hugo saw Joseph, who was pretending to be calm, and once again he couldn't hold back, and laughed, which made Joseph very helpless. The laughter was sprinkled all the way down the roads of Chicago.
Middle. The main street of the national city is called Yonghuo Street (H). avenue), there is still some distance from the street, you can see the big red 'door', and so walk in, it turns out that this is a big archway, the banner reads "the world is for the public" This is the traditional four-corner roof archway form, the vermilion 'color' pillar is hung on both sides of the red light building, hanging the national flags of China and the United States. The strong hometown atmosphere came to his face, which made Hugo immediately excited.
Walking into Yonghuo Street, there are a variety of visits on both sides, followed by gift shops and southern goods stores. Just on the left hand side of the big archway, there is a full building. The building of the national flavor, the book "Anliang Gongsho" carefully take a look at the following annotations, it turns out that this is the middle. The Chamber of Commerce of the National City is located. Next to the Anliang Guild building is the Chung Hwa Association, and beyond that there is a library, standing outside, at least nearly 10,000 square feet (1,000 square meters), it seems to be a big guy, which makes Hugo full of curiosity about the scene in the library. Unfortunately, it's sunset and the library is closed.
Although after he crossed over, whether it was spoken or written or read, there was no sense of rejection for English, but in his bones, Hugo still missed the square words at home, not only because this is the font he was most familiar with since he was a child, but also because it proves the origin of his soul. However, most of the sight is in traditional Chinese, which makes Hugo realize that this is a foreign country.
"So, what are we going to have for dinner?" Joseph looked at the 'agitation' in Hugo's eyes, he couldn't understand this kind of emotion, and he didn't know the source of Hugo's affection, but he couldn't help but be happy.
"Wow, let me see." Hugo actually blurted out that it was Chinese, which made Joseph look surprised, and Hugo realized that he was too 'excited', "Well, I studied Chinese in college, don't you know?"
Hugo's predecessor was Yaleson, which is why he only made five films in the eight years from 1982 to 1989. This incident surprised Hugo, who even doubted the authenticity of this memory when he regained it, because his knowledge of the predecessor really did not look like that of a person with a background in classical literature.
However, Hugo didn't know whether it was Lancaster's own idea, Lang Meyer, or Adam Lancaster's idea to study at university, but fortunately, at least his predecessor persevered, which is very valuable. It is estimated that the predecessor was able to show such a 'color' when he starred 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 the poetry in classical literature, and express their inner desire and yearning for freedom through poetry.
Joseph nodded stunned, "I really don't know. ”
It seemed that Joseph was convinced, and Hugo let out a long sigh of relief, and after a second thought, he explained, "Actually, I wanted to take the 'subject' of East Asian literature at that time, because I have always been very interested in oriental culture. It also explains to Joseph that Hugo has always been on the spot. The reason why the national culture is particularly persistent, I believe that there will only be more and not less such situations in the future, so Hugo just took this opportunity to find a way out for himself.
"Yes, medium. The kingdom is a magical country. Joseph also nodded, not continuing to be suspicious, "Looking at these words, it's hard to imagine how they can read such profound words. And the cuisine, can you imagine?"
Looking at Joseph's exclamation, Hugo also laughed, "I agree!" But before the words fell, a group of 'commotion' voices quickly swarmed over, making Hugo and Joseph both stunned in place and looking around: What happened?
