Chapter 489: Huaxia Theater
Under the leadership of Brad, they first came to Hollywood Avenue, which is the famous Avenue of Fame, Zhou Yu got out of the car, and when he was about to let Huzi and Dabao Xiaobao also come down together, Wang Fugui's excited voice sounded next to him, "Avenue of Stars, I have long wanted to come and see, I want to find two stars of Brother Long."

Looking at Wang Fugui's appearance of running towards the nearby Hollywood Avenue, Zhou Yu smiled helplessly, and shouted behind him: "Dog baby, what are you doing in such a hurry, I will let Brad take us to find it, so many stars, you find the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue." ”
"Zhou, Wang, what kind of star are you looking for? At this time, Brad also seemed to understand what Wang Fugui was going to do, so he asked Zhou Yu.
"Brad, I don't say you should know about it. Zhou Yu smiled and said mysteriously.
Since Chinese kung fu superstar Jackie Chan entered Hollywood, many people have a deeper understanding of this film and television center, including him.
Now they are located on Hollywood Boulevard, which has the landmark Walk of Fame, on which there are more than 2,000 star-shaped medals inlaid with the names of Hollywood celebrities to commemorate their contributions to the entertainment industry.
Each star is made of terrazzo, first in a pink pentagonal shape and inlaid with bronze, then embedded in a dark gray square, on which in addition to the name of the awardee, there is also the field of the star of the award, including actors, musicians, directors, producers, music bands, theater teams, and even fictional characters.
The scope of the Walk of Fame includes fifteen blocks of Hollywood Avenue and three blocks of Vine Street, which can be said to be very wide.
"Oh, oh, I see, it's definitely Lee and Jackie, wait a little bit where we're going, not far from their stars, let's see when that happens." Brad suddenly said that what Wang Fugui wanted to see must be the stars of Chinese stars, and on the Avenue of Stars, there are only three Chinese stars, and naturally two of them are the most famous.
"Okay, Brother Universe, you must take me with you at that moment. Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wang Fugui had to walk back.
Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, we'll go and see it together when the time comes." "While the Walk of Fame is a sight to behold for some tourists, for many Americans, it's just a pedestrian street that can be stepped on several times a day.
Of course, being able to leave a name on it also represents an honor, and there are only three people in Huaxia who have this honor.
After letting Huzi and Dabao Xiaobao get out of the car, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask Brad, "Brad, where are we going next?" ”
"Now that you've come to Hollywood Avenue, let's go to the front to see the Huaxia Grand Theater first. Brad pointed ahead and said with a smile.
Zhou Yu nodded, "Okay, then let's go." Before he came to Hollywood, he also studied some information, and the Huaxia Theater is also one of the famous attractions in Hollywood, which has a history of several decades.
Under the leadership of Brad, the group stepped on the Avenue of Stars and headed towards the Huaxia Grand Theater not far away.
Three mighty dogs, walking on the Avenue of Stars, instantly attracted the attention of many people next to them, when some fans of the dog recognized the identity of the tiger, they couldn't help but cover their mouths, "The dog, is the Chinese surfing dog." There were exclamations one after another, and there were some Chinese among them.
Regarding the news that the divine dog is coming to Los Angeles to make a movie, they also learned from the Internet, thinking that it would be good to meet these three divine dogs when they could meet them, but they didn't expect to meet them in Hollywood today.
Many people took out their mobile phones one after another, taking photos of the three divine dogs, Huzi and Dabao were as steady as Mount Tai, with a calm face, and Xiaobao directly raised a paw and put it next to his face after seeing someone taking pictures, which made the people around him laugh for a while.
"Xiaobao is so cute, you are simply a pistachio. With laughter, some people couldn't help but praise Xiaobao.
Seeing that his people were surrounded, Brad showed helplessness on his face, and said half-jokingly: "The three divine dogs are the focus of attention no matter where they are, and none of us care anymore." ”
"Little Universe, I didn't expect to meet you on this trip to the United States, I'm so lucky, please sign my name and take a photo." At this time, a Chinese girl walked over, holding a notebook in her hand, and said with excitement on her face.
"Of course, there is no problem. Zhou Yu smiled, took the notebook, left a paragraph and his signature on it, and took a photo with the girl.
Seeing this scene, Andrew gloated and said: "Hey, Led, you're wrong, no one cares about you, a big Hollywood director." ”
"Anyway, I'm just a director, and I'm used to being neglected. Brad shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, as a director, even the director of some blockbuster films, he is often ignored, and he does not have the attention of those stars in it.
After everyone took photos for a while, with the assistance of some staff, Brad took Zhou Yu and others to leave the crowd and came to the Huaxia Grand Theater not far away.
Along the way, on the Walk of Fame next to it, you can see many people who have become various movie and television stars, including Spider-Man and Pirates of the Caribbean, among which there is a person who plays Captain Jack is exactly like in the movie.
After Wang Fugui saw it, he couldn't help but go up and take a photo with Captain Jack, and then beckoned to Zhou Yu, "Brother Universe, you come and ask him how much it costs." ”
When Captain Jack saw Zhou Yu and the three divine dogs beside him, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, buddy, don't want money, you take a photo with me, then let me take a photo with the three divine dogs." ”
Hearing Captain Jack's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but jokingly say: "Jack, I lost this business, you are alone, but I have three divine dogs." ”
Captain Jack thought about it seriously, then looked at the divine dog and said: "Little Universe, I'm also a fan of the divine dog, how about I give you ten dollars, it's only so much, but you also have to shoot with me." ”
"Haha, Jack, I'll give you ten dollars, come on, start taking pictures, Brad, you can take pictures of us. Zhou Yu smiled and walked next to Captain Jack, there were three divine dogs squatting in front of him, Xiaobao still raised his front paws, seeing this scene, Wang Fugui couldn't help but join in.
When taking photos, other onlookers next to him also took out their mobile phones to take pictures, seeing Zhou Yu and the divine dog here, they couldn't just leave, take some photos, and be able to show off on the Internet.
After taking the photo, Zhou Yu took out ten dollars and handed it to Captain Jack: "Thank you, buddy, I'm very happy to have you, a fan of Captain Jack, a god dog." ”
Captain Jack hurriedly waved his hand, "Say, this is mutual cooperation, no money, hey, Mr. Peyton, please send me the photo, I'm looking forward to your cat and dog fight, don't let me down." ”
Brad smiled, picked up his phone and passed the photo to Captain Jack, "Don't worry, Jack, I don't want to be besieged by your pirate team, so I'm sure it's going to be a great shot." ”
After a small episode, Zhou Yu and everyone came to the door of the Huaxia Grand Theater, he looked up at the theater he had seen on the Internet, it looked really different, there were many Chinese cultures on it, but it looked different from the real Chinese traditional cultural buildings, with a strange taste.
Brad also stood next to Zhou Yu and briefly introduced the history of this theater, although Zhou Yu had also learned about it before, but under Brad's introduction, he also had a more detailed understanding.
The theater was founded by Grauman, a big name in American cinema, who has invested in and operated many theaters, and has always wanted to build theaters that match his fame and financial resources, and he has a friend who, although a native of American, is of Chinese descent and has a deep oriental cultural heritage, which has a great influence on him.
So, he decided to use the Oriental style and called it the Huaxia Theater, which is most famous for the handprints and footprints left by famous film actors of different periods and styles, many of whom are international superstars.
When a star came to the theater to attend the opening ceremony, he inadvertently stepped into the wet cement floor, leaving footprints that made Grauman see a business opportunity, so he asked the stars present at the time to leave their marks.
At this time, Wang Fugui's excited voice came again, "Brother Universe, come quickly, I saw Brother Long's handprints and footprints, as well as Wu Yusen's." ”
Zhou Yu shook his head, and under the watchful eyes of many people, he came to Wang Fugui's side with Brad and others, this guy was posing in front of the cement slab at this time, and asked Lin Xiaojing to take pictures with his mobile phone.
In the cement slabs inlaid on the ground, he saw the footprints and handprints of some film and television stars, among which Jackie Chan was the most conspicuous, not only leaving hand and foot prints, but also nose prints, and drawing a heart shape.
This is close to the Avenue of Stars, and the vicinity is full of cement slabs with footprints and handprints, and many people are holding their feet in it for interviews, according to some data on the Internet, there are almost more than 200 celebrities who have left their marks here.
At this time, Huzi and Dabao Xiaobao were also watching around the cement board with some interest, and Xiaobao even put his little paws into other people's palm prints, so that the onlookers next to them took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Some people have been following Zhou Yu since they first saw Zhou Yu on the Avenue of Stars, and their faces were full of excitement, constantly taking photos of the three divine dogs.
After watching the cement slabs of the stars in front of the Huaxia Theater for a while, Zhou Yu, Brad and others, greeted by the theater management, entered the interior and began to visit.
According to the narrator's introduction, this is the Chinese who influenced the founder of the theater Grauman many years ago.
Subsequently, they watched the exhibition of some film and television stars in the front hall, most of which were some costumes of the actors in the film, and when they really stepped into the theater hall, Zhou Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up again, and he had only seen the pictures outside the theater door on the Internet before, and he had not seen the inside.
The real theater hall inside is a Chinese style decoration composed of red and yellow, which looks very luxurious and atmospheric, and some of the decorations inside look very Chinese, surrounded by the intervals of various columns, as well as the gable wall printed with Chinese paintings, plus the curtain of the stage, which is also Chinese red, printed with bamboo unique to China, as if people are really in a Chinese theater.
After visiting the Huaxia Theater, under the leadership of Brad, everyone went to the Dolby Theater not far away, that is, the theater where the Oscars were held.
Soon, they came to the door of the Dolby Theater, two of the most famous theaters in Hollywood, except for the Huaxia Theater, where the famous Oscars were held.
If the Huaxia Theater still has some Chinese flavor, then this Dolby Theater is a completely modern Western building, and the Dolby word in front of the door is extremely conspicuous, and those who have seen the Oscars will feel very familiar.
"Wang, aren't you looking for two stars of Chinese kung fu superstars, right around here. At this time, when he walked to the door of the Dolby Theater, Brad patted Wang Fugui's shoulder and said with a smile.
Hearing Brad's words, Wang Fugui was confused, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile, and translated: "Dog baby, Brad just said that the stars of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are around here." ”
"Ah, it's near here, I'm going to see, Mr. Brad, take me there. Wang Fu's face suddenly showed excitement.
Brad smiled and nodded, and led everyone on the Walk of Fame, looking for the stars of the two kung fu superstars, and at this moment, they heard some shouts from the side, "Trump, Falk oil." "Trump, me off. ”
Hearing this familiar English name, Zhou Yu couldn't help but look to the side, and suddenly smiled, several foreigners were holding their middle fingers around a star, and the star on the ground was written Trump's English name, in addition, he also found some scratches on the stars.
Andrew looked at Zhou Yu's interested appearance, and couldn't help but come over and say: "Zhou, since Trump became president, his stars on the Avenue of Fame are often tortured by many people, and some time ago, there was even a person who smashed the name and bronze medal on the star with a hoe, and this person even said in the video that not taking down all the pink stars was the biggest failure of this operation." ”
