In the summer of 1997, the heat wave swept in, and "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was staged, which opened the curtain of this year's summer event, and swept the box office of $90 million in the opening weekend, breaking the record of $80 million in three days of the weekend set by last year's "Independence Day"!

Although it was not able to break the box office figure of $116 million on the first four days of the premiere of "Independence Day", and unfortunately did not become the second work in film history to grossing more than 100 million in a single week, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" still set a new high at the box office in the opening weekend, which also carried on the strong momentum of last year's "Independence Day" and truly set the tone of the blockbuster era.

"Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" has achieved such outstanding results, which has made the whole Hollywood rejoice, and many people are looking forward to this year and the continuation of last year's grand occasion, and some people are even looking forward to the second "Independence Day" such a sweeping work this year.

In the midst of this boiling heat, the streets of Los Angeles once again ushered in a grand scene of people.

Hugo drove his new silver Jaguar E-Type lightweight retro convertible downward. The direction of the city is going forward, but the distance is down. There are still six streets in the city, and traffic control has already begun in front of you. This made Hugo frown.

Today is the day when "Los Angeles Confidential" starts up, and they have chosen the location for startup. The area where the poor streets of the city used to be, the old police in the fifties. The bureau is there, and it is still used as the Los Angeles bureau, but the police force is not as concentrated. The crew applied for the right to use the closed street filming half a month ago, but if Hugo remembered correctly, they only applied for the closure of three streets. So what's going on with the congestion in front of you?

Hugo slowly parked the car in front of the traffic light, and looked around to see that the traffic was still running nearby, but he didn't know why it was moving very slowly. Could it be that there was some accident due to the closure of the streets? Although David L. Walber was in charge of the closure, Hugo was inevitably a little anxious – feeling the pressure of being a producer for the first time.

"Whew", a loud whistle came from the right-hand side, turned his head, and saw a young man driving a Shelby Mustang GT500 classic retro car, he had a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, at this time he pulled the sunglasses down, carefully looked at Hugo's car, and whistled again. Then Hugo's eyes met him, and he didn't say anything, but gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Hugo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and the irritability just now was slightly reduced. At this time, the traffic police who were maintaining the crowd in front of him and walking across the crosswalk came over, Hugo raised his right hand, wanting to ask about the road conditions ahead, but he didn't want the traffic police to look at the silver streamlined body first, and then joked with a smile, "Sir, what a pretty woman." ”

"I know, that's why I chose her." Hugo replied with a smile.

This Jaguar vintage sports car was one of the most iconic sports cars of the 60s and early 70s, and for more than a decade it was the best-selling sports car leader. Although many competitors have emerged later, the E-Type has always been a classic among classics. The retro car that Hugo bought is the third series of the E-Type, and it is also the rarest variety on the market at the moment, and it can be said that it is a sports car with no price.

Hugo took the opportunity to point to the formation of cars moving like a snail in front of him, "What's going on in front, you can already see your colleagues two streets behind." ”

The young traffic policeman raised his head and explained with a smile, "Today, the crew has closed the street ......" and then the traffic policeman saw Hugo who took off his sunglasses in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became round, "Jesus Christ, what a hell!" Immediately, the traffic police realized that he had burst into a foul mouth, and smirked twice, "Sorry, Hugo." Oh no, Mr. Lancaster. ”

Hugo smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then pointed to the congestion in front of him, and the traffic police reacted, "Yes, today because of the ......" The traffic police looked at Hugo and suddenly realized, "Because your new work is going to be filmed, the street is closed." However, there are so many people who come here to see the excitement that two nearby streets have been blocked, and now the traffic has been completely paralyzed, and we have to come to help, as you know, the security of this area is always prone to problems. ”

Under. This part of the city is inhabited by many ethnic minority groups, especially black Africans, so the law and order is really poor.

Hugo couldn't help but rub his temples, this was his first day as a producer, and he ran into problems. In the past, when he was an actor, these problems could have been thrown to other people to deal with, but now he also needs to start facing trouble. Hugo took a deep breath, "Can you drive to a closed street?" ”

The traffic police shook his head in embarrassment, "In the past, this street has been completely blocked, I still suggest that you go around to the back street, find a place to park, and then walk over it faster." However, the parking lots around here are relatively ......" The traffic police smiled wryly, but some of the parts he didn't say Hugo knew that it was easier to lose the car, especially a retro car like Hugo, it is estimated that he turned around and left, and it was stolen immediately. "You can go a little further back if you want......"

Hugo waved his hand and interrupted the traffic policeman's words, "It's okay, I know a place to park." "Al Bar is just two blocks back, and the other Hugo isn't sure, but he knows Greene Hill can be trusted." But thank you for your help. ”

"No, it's my pleasure." The traffic policeman rubbed his hands nervously, and then hesitated, "Mr. Lancaster, I really like your movie, I wonder if you can sign me a name?" ”

"Of course there is no problem." Hugo laughed and was about to rummage through the drawer next to him to see if there was a pen, but at this time Hugo found that the red light had turned yellow. Looking back at the long queue behind, Hugo smiled awkwardly at the traffic police in front of him, and the traffic police immediately found the problem and hurriedly took half a step back, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

That being said, the traffic policeman's face still couldn't hide his chagrin and disappointment. Hugo thought for a moment, "I'm sorry, but if you don't get tired of trouble after the shift is over, you can go to the crew and find a man named Joseph Gibbs, I think he can give you a little help." After speaking, Hugo didn't have time to explain further, because the yellow light had turned into a green light, and the car in the next lane had already left, so he could only spread his right hand regretfully, "I'm really sorry." ”

The traffic policeman waved his hand again and again, with a smile on his face, signaling Hugo to go quickly, and then after he watched Hugo drive away, he clenched his fist and received it fiercely at the waist, shouting "Yay! But it still didn't feel like it was enough, and he shouted twice in succession, and then picked up the walkie-talkie on his left shoulder, "Call, call, guess who just had a friendly conversation with Hugo Lancaster?" The smug demeanor could barely be concealed.

Hugo, of course, did not know that one of his kindnesses could put some people in a good mood all day. After driving forward, sure enough, the speed of the car quickly decreased, and a street of less than three hundred yards, Hugo was trapped here for a full quarter of an hour, and finally turned into another street, which was better. Arriving at the Bar de Arles, Hugo skillfully parked his car in the open space in front of the warehouse at the back, a parking lot reserved for underground bands who came to practice.

Hugo went into the Bar of Al to say hello, but he did not expect to make the few guests in the bar very excited-it was only half past nine in the morning. Hugo gave a brief greeting, then turned and left, heading down the town. The location of the Cha Sub-Bureau walked over.

Along the way, the main street has been blocked by traffic, and there is a steady stream of people surging in the same direction in the pedestrian street area on both sides, almost everyone has a similar excitement on their faces, and the words on their lips are similar, with keywords such as "Hugo", "works", "Theron, Spacey, Lancaster" and so on. This made Hugo unconsciously help but slightly support his sunglasses, trying to pretend to be calm.

Although Hugo has now overcome the phobia of the crowd, to be honest, the feeling of being congested by the crowd and making it difficult to walk is really uncomfortable, and it is also prone to accidents. Therefore, Hugo still tried to keep a low profile. didn't deliberately disguise, just didn't want to be too conspicuous, and tried to blend in with the crowd and deal with it calmly, but it was not easy to be discovered.

Although it was the opening ceremony today, Hugo did not dress up, a white crewneck T-shirt with black jeans, a pair of black cowboy boots on his feet, a cowhide bracelet on his right wrist, and finally a pair of sunglasses, which did not look special.

However, before I knew it, people's eyes began to gather towards Hugo, one by two, more and more, and even in the ears there were "is that ah", "is it not", "is it really" and other chatters such as "is that ah", "is it not", "is it really true". Faced with such a situation, Hugo could only pretend to be calm, always pretending that the other party was not discussing himself, and even took the initiative to look at a woman who looked boldly and directly, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to express his doubts, "Is there something wrong with you?" Such a calm posture really dispelled the other party's doubts.

But Hugo also knows that this is never a long-term solution, and he can only take as big a step as possible. However, when he turned into the closed main street, Hugo's footsteps came to a halt - not because he didn't want to move forward, but because he simply couldn't move forward:

The huge crowd of people in front of him filled the entire street, there was hardly any space, and even the uniformed personnel who maintained order were completely submerged, not only one street, but the three streets as far as the eye could see were completely blocked, and a truck carrying props was stuck on the main street, moving slowly at the speed of a snail.

Hugo strongly suspected that even the snail was faster than the truck.
