Chapter 1573: A Trip to London

72_72291Looking down from the sky, there is not a single cloud on the clear and translucent sky like a lake, the golden sun is lazily shrouded in the sky over the city, the path without any rules divides the whole city into messy and irregular blocks, and the historical precipitation and charm are randomly outlined between the shadows like an ink painting, and there is no need to shuttle through the alleys in person, Hugo is very sure: he will definitely get lost.

Unlike the United States, a country made up of immigrants, the history and culture of the European continent has always been one of their proudest treasures, a relic left behind by the magic of time, which cannot be compared or ignored. In every street and alley, you can smell the fragrance of centuries ago.

As one of the most culturally rich countries in the world, Britain also once had the glory of an empire on which the sun never sets, and after entering the twentieth century, although the whole world has been turned upside down, the influence of British culture is still influencing the trend of the trend all the time, including entertainment culture.

In addition to the United States, the world's entertainment center, and Japan, the entertainment center of Asia, the United Kingdom is also among the best in Europe. In film, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, Mike Lee Leigh), Danny Ball, Ken Lodge (Ken. Loach), Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Daniel Day Lewis, Helen Mirren, and others are indispensable assets of world cinema.

And musically, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elton John. John), David Bowie (David. bowie), Queen, Smith (the. smiths), Stone Rose (the. stone。 roses), Stained, Goatskin, Shen Yun, Radiohead...... These important names are firmly linked to the history of world music and the history of rock and roll as a whole.

It can be said that the British Isles are a small land, but countless cultural heritages have been born, influencing the course of human culture from all angles.

As a graduate of the classics major, Hugo always had a special affection for this land, and it seems that every time he comes here, there is always a different harvest. It's just that this time Hugo didn't come on vacation, but shouldered a work task, which made Hugo a little distracted.

Britain is still a void in this regard compared to the familiar United States, and although Hugo has heard that his works are quite popular here, he does not know what the real situation is, and it is still unknown whether such a purely Hollywood commercial film as "Independence Day" will succeed on the European continent.

"What's wrong?" Joseph's voice came from the side, Hugo then turned his gaze away from the window, cast a puzzled look, Joseph pointed to the smiling flight attendant not far away, "The plane is ready to land, let's fasten our seat belts." ”

Hugo came back to his senses, quickly fastened his seat belt, and took a deep breath, "No, I just thought of a little inspiration for music creation, and I was a little distracted." Hugo replied casually, but the fragmented notes in his mind were settled, and when he looked back, Alexander Lorraine, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock and others all looked extremely excited, and they talked happily with each other.

As if sensing Hugo's eyes, Joseph also chuckled, "They are all too excited to fly this way, and when the plane lands, they will start to get jet lag, otherwise tomorrow will be bad." ”

This time the "Independence Day" group went to London to promote, except for Leonardo DiCaprio, who was filming, and Charlize Theron, who was preparing to audition, most of the others almost joined the expedition, even Rick Rosen, Ali Emmanuel and others also went with them - obviously they wanted to take this opportunity to explore the British market and extend the tentacles of Endeavour elite agency. Twentieth Century Fox directly chartered a plane with a large amount of money, and the whole crew flew to London in a bustling manner.

The others didn't know, but Kevin Pence didn't hide it from Rick, the idea of the charter flight was proposed by Alan Strello, but Allen's business had some things to deal with for him, so this time he didn't go with him.

Hugo chuckled, "Don't worry, they won't miss the highlights, even if they are sleepy, they will hold on." This is what Jennifer said before she got on the plane yesterday, and her exact words were "Even if I can't sleep in Europe for a day, I will hold on, I don't want to miss this great opportunity", which made everyone laugh.

It's summer vacation, the vacation period of the TV series, and the popularity of "Friends", which has ended two seasons, is popular, but for any TV drama actor, the movie is their ultimate dream. This time, Jennifer's appearance in "Independence Day" was not as eye-catching as Sandra's, but it still won a lot of praise.

As he spoke, the plane began to descend, Hugo once again turned his eyes to the window, the airport began to gradually enlarge in the line of sight, the empty tarmac at this time seemed to be a dark cloud overhead, a piece of black pressure, so that Hugo couldn't help but raise his head to look at the sky - he thought it was a sudden change of sky, London's fickle weather is famous all over the world, but today's London can be described by the word wind and sunshine, the cloudless sky is like a calm lake, a little ripple seems extremely clear.

Hugo couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked curiously again, the ground was getting closer and closer, and then the dark clouds gradually became clear—obviously it was not a shadow, but a large group of people, and the surging crowd on the ground looked like a tribe of ants who had moved in a hurry on a rainy day, so dense that a thin layer of goosebumps appeared on the skin, and I shuddered.

Closed his eyes, shivered twice in a row, and when he opened his eyes again, the crowd in front of him had enlarged a lot, and the dense fear was not so strong, but the continuous crowd in front of him still made Hugo open his mouth slightly. Joseph also saw Hugo's gaze, and couldn't help but stretch his head and look down—his pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes almost bulged out.

Hugo and Joseph are not people who have never seen the world, on the contrary, they have seen countless grand and magnificent scenes, especially with Hugo's unrivaled popularity in the United States today, and even the most exaggerated scenes have been experienced. But even so, the two of them still showed stunned expressions, which were difficult to hide.

At this time, the airplane's in-flight radio came out in a standard London accent, "Dear 'Independence Day' crew, good afternoon, everyone, I'm Daniel Arden, the captain of this flight, it's 2:12 p.m. local time in London, and the plane is about to land." Guys sitting by the window of the plane look down, London is expressing the city's enthusiasm on the most enthusiastic scale, which reminds me of the scene when the Beatles arrived at the airport in the United States, and the scene of thirty-two years ago is repeated. ”

It can be heard that Daniel's voice also has a hint of ridicule and humor, which makes the plane immediately lively, because the plane is still landing, those people sitting in the corridor can't unbuckle their seat belts, can only grab the shoulders of their companions next to them, and keep asking, "What?" What the? ”

The grand scene in the tarmac finally gradually revealed the whole picture, in the apron at the other end, densely gathered surging crowds, as far as the eye can see, at least more than 5,000 people, the surging crowd is divided into two parts, the first half is a small group of people gathered together, although the cameras in their hands can not see clearly, but vaguely can be judged, this should be the media part; The back half was separated by seat belts, and more than a dozen strong men dressed in airport security uniforms held hands to build a human wall to block the surging crowd behind.

The crowd in front of them, who seemed to be reporters, also looked like three or four hundred people, but when compared to the crowd behind them, they looked like little lambs trembling under the mouth of a lion, and they could be devoured at any time.

The endless sea of people occupies at least three parking bays, spreading out like a tidal wave, undulating in the line of sight, making the entire tarmac look less like an airport and more like a concert site. However, because there are no restrictions on the surrounding area, the crowd here seems to be only the size of a palm when viewed from above, but after shortening the distance, the unblocked wave rushes in an extremely fierce attitude, and the effect of the contrast is really terrifying.

So, even the well-informed Hugo and Joseph were not immune to vulgar shock. What's more, this is just the grand occasion of the airport, in other words, there are so many people who come to the airport to meet the airport alone - 5,000 people is just a conservative estimate, due to the limitation of the perspective above the plane, there is no way to make accurate inferences, such a grand scale of the airport is absolutely rare in history.

No wonder Captain Daniel jokingly said that it was as if the Beatles had arrived in the United States. Now Britain is using the same - if not higher - to meet Hugo's first official British propaganda, which also marks the height of Hugo's current standing: before he knows it, he has been on a par with giants, and can go toe-to-toe.

Everyone in the "Independence Day" crew on the plane fell into a stunned shock, and the jolting caused by the landing of the plane finally brought everyone back to their senses, and they all began to scream excitedly. But after the screams, they all realized one thing: because they didn't expect such a large pick-up queue at all, so they were making unscrupulous jokes throughout the flight, and now their physical condition is certainly not too good, although it is not as exaggerated as the oily face, but there is no doubt that there is no makeup.

At this moment, the plane was lively, and before Daniel could stop the plane, he heard everyone shouting, "Makeup, I want makeup!" "Oh God, my clothes are horrible!" ……

As you can imagine, this promotional tour of Europe will be very interesting
