Chapter 402: Lu Meets Russell
Nearly twenty hours of flight time.
When I set off, it was in the evening of the magic capital, and when I arrived at the airport in Los Angeles, I saw the sun in the distance, which had begun to set westward.
This kind of experience makes everyone feel a sense of chasing time.
In fact, from the perspective of relativity, making an airplane from the eastern country on this side of the earth to the rice country on that side is indeed able to make time different in the time dimension.
Slower, just less noticeable.
It's not the first time Limbo has been to Los Angeles.
The year before last, in order to allow his music to enter the Golden Hall for performance, he and Xiao Yuanshan traveled to several big cities in the United States, including Los Angeles.
Los Angeles International Airport bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, the figure is longing.
This airport, which is close to the Pacific Ocean, is still a civilian airport, but the flow of people is no less than that of Modu International Airport.
In fact, due to the recent Hollywood awards ceremony, Los Angeles International Airport has been overloaded with passengers every day.
Therefore, after the group got off the plane and squeezed out of the bustling crowd along the signs, they were not in the mood to look at the surrounding airport scenery, and before they had time to feel the air of the West Coast, they were stuffed into the buses that had been taken care of in advance.
Then all the way, drive, to the destination hotel.
By the time I drove into the city from LAX, it was already getting dark outside.
As the second largest city in the United States, although the entire Los Angeles is not comparable in terms of numbers, the prosperity is not weaker than that of the magic capital. Moreover, compared with New York, which has a more commercial atmosphere, the entire city of Los Angeles is full of a cultural atmosphere.
From Hollywood, the center of world cinema, to many top art schools, as well as an exaggerated number of art museums, as well as the sports field, the Los Angeles Angels, the Lakers, and the Clippers are also headquartered here.
So, here, you don't feel the cramped, oppressive atmosphere of Wall Street, but more of a kind of vitality.
Los Angeles is a vibrant city.
This can be seen from the fact that when you ride a bus, you can see countless street activities that play art and all kinds of entertainment on the streets at night.
"Look over there!"
Han Yiyi, who was sitting in front, suddenly pointed to the right side of the car window and said.
When everyone turned their heads to look over there, they could faintly see a mountain with some sporadic lights dotted on it. In the center, you can see a white letter card.
Although the distance was far away, I couldn't see the letters clearly, but inside the car, someone had already called out the name.
Everyone was looking over there curiously.
When you come to Los Angeles, Hollywood is naturally impossible not to see. The one with the "Hollywood" sign is also a place that many young people who like movies very much yearn for.
After traveling through half of the city of Los Angeles, the group finally arrived at the hotel for this purpose.
Because the entire hotel around the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars were held, was basically full, except for a few important members of the crew of Lin Bao, who was officially invited by the Oscars, everyone else could only book a room in a large hotel several streets away.
As soon as he checked in, Lin Bao received a call from Wu An on his mobile phone.
After connecting, Wu An's excited voice came from the opposite side: "Hey, Teacher Lin Bao, have you arrived?"
In fact, as soon as the Oscar nominations were announced a month ago, Wu An called Lin Bao from Los Angeles.
During this time, I have been in touch with Lin Bao and paid attention to his dynamics.
"Just arrived, it's at this Westwood Palace Hotel, are you at school now?"
Lin Bao said.
"Yes, we just got out of class, recently, a lot of Hollywood stars have come to Los Angeles, tomorrow, Xiao Lizi is coming over again hahaha, Mr. Lin Bao, do you want to come over, he should be familiar with you!"
Wu An said.
"That's right, tomorrow, we might go around, and when the time comes, you will be our guide. ”
Lin Bao said with a smile.
"Don't worry!"
Wu An said, "I have asked my tutor for leave, and I will accompany you to go outside for a good walk in the past two days...... That's the case first, Mr. Lin Bao, you have made such a long plane, go to rest first, and tomorrow morning, I will go directly to your hotel to find you. ”
"Good. ”
Lin Bao smiled.
The award ceremony took place two days later in the evening.
I came two days in advance to familiarize myself with the environment in advance, and I also took this opportunity to take a good walk around the city of Los Angeles.
Early the next morning, Wu An came to the hotel where Lin Bao was.
Then, like a friend, he called out some other people who couldn't get out of bed for half a day because of jet lag, and began to wander around downtown Los Angeles.
In more than a day, it was not possible to walk around the entire city, so Wu An first took them around the Dolby Theater.
Then there's the must-see Walk of Fame.
This is one of the symbols of Hollywood, and the whole street is as lively as Nanjing East Road in the magic capital.
However, there are basically all kinds of stores on this street, all of which are related to Hollywood movies, and the whole thing is relatively high. Moreover, when you love the Avenue of Stars, you can't just look at those figures, but also all kinds of derivatives shops, and most importantly, the stars on the street.
"From the beginning of the sixties of the last century, to the present, there are about two thousand three hundred stars on the entire street. ”
Wu An introduced beside him, "However, there is no law in the arrangement of these stars, so if you want to find a star you like, you can tell me and I will help you find it." ”
Hearing him say this, everyone who followed naturally began to report the names they wanted to see.
Of course, what I am most looking forward to is some of the stars and directors in the East, over the years, the charm of Oriental movies has also surprised Westerners, especially kung fu films, martial arts films, and Hong Kong films, which are unique to the East and have been recognized by the mainstream Western film industry. So, here, too, stars with oriental names can be found.
"Found it, Bruce Lee's, here!"
"This is Jackie Chan's!"
"Actually, at present, there are three stars of Chinese actors here, in addition to the two dragons, there is another one, which is Huang Liushuang. ”
"Who is Huang Liushuang? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"You young people may not have heard of her, but she is the first Chinese-American Hollywood movie star......"
The group wandered the streets of the Walk of Fame, chatting about various topics related to movies and movie stars, while curiously looking for the names of some Hollywood movie stars or directors that popped up in their minds.
Monroe, Hepburn, Marlon Brando......
Lin Bao also followed everyone and looked at the names of the stars on the ground.
It is indeed in such an atmosphere, seeing these names, their images and pictures flashing in my mind, and there is indeed a very different feeling.
"Teacher Lin Bao!"
Just as Lin Bao was walking, a voice suddenly came from the side.
It is an English name, but Lin Bao bites the two words very clearly, so he also reacted immediately, and turned his head to see that it was a middle-aged American, looking at him with a surprised face.
"You...... Well, you're ......."
Lin Bao was stunned for a moment, feeling that this face was very familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Teacher Lin Bao, you don't remember me, okay, let me introduce myself again, my name is Russell Brauer......"
After the other party said his name, Lin Bao instantly reacted: "You are Blizzard's music director?"
"Hahaha, Teacher Lin Bao really remembers me!"
The middle-aged man also smiled, stepped forward enthusiastically, and then hugged Lin Bao.
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Russell here!"
Lin Bao also responded with a smile.
This middle-aged man is the director of Blizzard Music.
Two years ago, when Lin Bao and Xiao Yuanshan went to Vienna to seek the opportunity to enter the Golden Hall to perform, Blizzard Music came to Lin Bao and threw an olive branch, with the intention of soliciting.
At that time, I was talking to Lin Bao about the music director, Russell.
The song they were talking about at the time was "Themass".
And on the Blizzard side,
After getting acquainted with the environment, I took them directly to the campus where the University of Southern California is located.
Two of the top three film schools in the United States are in Los Angeles, and the two schools are not far from each other.
"Just arrived, it's at this Westwood Palace Hotel, are you at school now?"
Lin Bao said.
"Yes, we just got out of class, recently, a lot of Hollywood stars have come to Los Angeles, tomorrow, Xiao Lizi is coming over again hahaha, Mr. Lin Bao, do you want to come over, he should be familiar with you!"
Wu An said.
