Chapter 611: Live

Most of the projects in Universal Studios are related to filmmaking, some are games based on movie scenes, and there are various special effects performances during filming. However, compared to the zoo just now, there were more people here, and just arranging a Toy Story shooting game was enough for Hong Tao and Erin to stand for more than 40 minutes.

It was only then that Hong Tao discovered a trick of skipping the queue, but it was too late.

The trick is very simple, next to the entrance of every entertainment project in the park, there is something similar to a calling machine, at first Hong Tao didn't notice, when queuing up here in Toy Story, he was idle and had nothing to do, and asked several people who took a note from this machine and hurriedly walked away, only to figure out the purpose of this machine.

It turns out that each program has a ticket called FastPass, and each person can get a FastPass for each program with the ticket. This FastPass will indicate a time, and tourists will return to the entrance of the project at the indicated time with this FastPass, so they can go in and play directly without queuing.

Hong Tao pondered, this Nima is also a big pit, the operator here by controlling the time of FastPass, can force tourists to rush to the same place in different parks, thereby improving the utilization rate of each project, and also increasing the number of sales of multi-day packages, because if you buy a single-day single-park ticket, it is not cost-effective to use FastPass, the FastPass time in the same park is about the same, and you can't play several projects at the same time.

All in all, Lao Mei is too bad, making you money and making you happy.

At 3 o'clock, Hong Tao carried Erin back to the parking lot, the loser's daughter-in-law held the railing and didn't plan to leave, she had to play a jumping machine. It's just taking an elevator to slowly go up, and then suddenly the elevator falls down, and everyone is in a mess in the elevator. Yelling.

But Hong Tao didn't have time, there were still dozens of people in the team in front of him, and he couldn't play Erin's turn in less than 1 hour, so he had no choice but to agree to carry Erin to the parking lot in exchange for her agreement to leave here.

When I returned to Okeechobee, it was almost 5 o'clock, Paul and Carl were waiting for Hong Tao in the hotel lobby, and when they saw their car coming back, they didn't even let Hong Tao change their clothes, they got into the car and drove away. Head straight to the headquarters of the FLW Fishing Tournament Organizing Committee.

The FLW Fishing Tournament Organizing Committee is also a hotel, and the lottery ceremony was held in the banquet hall on the second floor.

But after arriving at the ready-made, Hong Tao found that he was very wrong, the banquet hall was arranged like a boxing ring, full of people on three sides, and there were various chasing lights, scattered lights, and computer pattern lights cruising overhead. A presenter in a white sweatshirt and bow tie is on stage to introduce the top players in this year's FLW competition, and every time he says the name of a player, various photos and statistics of this player will appear on the big screen, and then the audience will burst into cheers and applause. It's like introducing the players before an NBA game.

Paul pulled Hong Tao all the way forward until he found two seats in the first row, and there were only two empty seats here. Hong Tao looked left and right at his own. I looked at myself again, and without anyone else saying anything, I immediately felt the difference between professional and amateur.

The others in the first row were not wearing fishing suits with FLW on them. Either they wore the same style of hats, and only himself and Paul were wearing floral sweatshirts and beach pants. What makes Hong Tao even more nervous is that there are several cameras around, and from time to time there are photographers with cameras squatting less than a meter in front of a certain player and shooting at the face, and then TV images will appear on the big screen at the same time.

Although Hong Tao is not a person in the TV circle, he has friends in the circle of Bai Chuan, and at this time, an idea immediately popped into his mind: live broadcast!

These fixed and mobile cameras are only used for live broadcasts, and there must be more than one or two OB trucks working outside the venue, and the directors and editors inside are also using them for image editing. He is very familiar with this scene, he has not bought a ticket for the Beijing Guoan football team in the past two years, and he asked Bai Chuan to bring it to his friends from Beijing TV, most of the time he followed the team of cameramen to fill up.

"Paul, you're pit me, didn't you say there was a TV broadcast!" Hong Tao understood that Paul was playing with himself, and only told him that 5 o'clock was the lottery ceremony, and he didn't say anything else.

"Aren't the matches in Europe televised? I thought you all knew it, don't be nervous, when your name is called, you just stand up and wave at everyone, you're a wild card player, and the host doesn't have your details. Paul smiled evilly and patted Hong Tao's shoulder, although he didn't admit it, but the expression on his face was already everything.

"Where's Irene?" Hong Tao was a little weak and began to look for the backbone.

"She's in the back with Carl, and it's the pro's seat." Paul gestured to the back, but he didn't know where Carl and Irene were sitting, and the lights from around the venue were so dazzling that he couldn't see anything backwards.

"The host won't let me speak, will he?" Hong Tao is still not at ease, although he has been on TV, but it is all video, and he has never played the live broadcast.

"If you win the competition, you'll definitely be able to speak, but that's four days from now, and you still have time to work on the draft." When Paul heard Hong Tao's question, he laughed even more treacherously.

"Your uncle! If I win, I have to go to Antarctica, and I'll kill you bastard! Hong Tao looked at Paul's unlucky virtue, and knew that he had fallen into the pit, and now it was useless to say anything, so he couldn't run back to the hotel to change his clothes.

There are more than 300 players in total, of which 97 are professional players, and the rest are amateur players, and Hong Tao is also counted among the 97 professional players. This lottery ceremony is not a lottery to choose fishing spots, this kind of lure competition does not have a fishing position, the main thing is to draw everyone's entry numbers, and then pair professional and amateur players.

A Walmart district manager and an official from the FLW Association were in charge of drawing the players' numbers, and when they didn't come up with a number, the host would read out the names of a players, and then a player would stand up in the audience, and the spotlights and camera shots would follow. If you catch up with a very famous player, such as the champion of the previous station or the overall points champion or something, the host will also invite him to come on stage to say a few words.

Since Hong Tao was the only player to enter the tournament with a wild card, his name was put last. Towards the end of the draw, the FLW official drew his entry number, number 111.

When the host read out his name, Hong Tao also stood up from his seat like the other contestants, then raised his hands high, flashed his face forward, backward, left and right, and was about to sit down.

"Please come to the stage to meet the fishing champion from China, this is also the first player from distant China in the FLW competition, Mr. Hong, please come to the stage......" Before Hong Tao's ass landed on the chair, the host walked to the side of the stage and stretched out a hand to Hong Tao.

"Paul, if I win the championship, can I double the stakes?" Hong Tao had nowhere to hide even if he wanted to, and several chasing lights circled him in the middle like chasing a fugitive, and those cameras were also aimed at him. When he saw himself on the big screen, his hatred for Paul increased even more, and this grandson didn't even remind himself that the Disneyland badge was still hanging around his neck!

"No problem, if you win the championship, my BASS boat will be yours!" Paul was afraid that Hong Tao would refuse, so he directly pulled Hong Tao up from his seat and then pushed him to the stage.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hong Tao, I am from China, I am honored to participate in this competition, and I will try my best to achieve a good result in the competition." Hong Tao gritted his back molars and walked onto the stage, then took the microphone handed by the host and said a very beautiful and nutritious scene.

People who have never been on the stage think that they will be so nervous after going on stage, and all kinds of eyes below are watching them, and they have to stutter when they even speak. In fact, this is not the case at all, especially this kind of stage with TV broadcasting, when you walk up, you can find that you can't see anything except the microphone in your hand, there are bright lights in all directions, and you can only find a place where your eyes are not too dazzling.

"Mr. Hong's strap is very chic, my daughter has always wanted one, but unfortunately I haven't had time to take her there, have you just come back from Orlando?" The host was very experienced, and he was afraid that Hong Tao would be too nervous, so he first found an irrelevant topic to talk about.

"Yes, my wife and I went to Disneyland today to play, and we came back a little late and didn't have time to change clothes." Hong Tao also came to power anyway, but the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and people can say whatever they ask.

"How do you feel about Disneyland, maybe my daughter is in front of the TV, you can tell her about the experience." The host followed Hong Tao's words and asked.

"It's too big, I've only played with a small area, but I want to tell your daughter, don't buy this strap and badge, it's too tricky, you can't save those badges when you reach your father's age." Hong Tao felt that the host was more nervous than himself, so he made a joke with him, and there was laughter and whistles in the audience.

"Mr. Hong, we don't have comprehensive information, but we know that you have won the championship not only in China, but also in Japan and Europe, and your companion is a lady, right?" As soon as the host saw that Hong Tao began to joke with himself, he immediately turned to issues related to the game. (To be continued......)
