Chapter 306: Prelude to Returning Home (1)
"Where are you going next?" Gu Mengxue asked Jun Xindao with a smile.
"I've basically gone through the Ivy League eight schools, and it doesn't make sense to go through it a second time. Although many universities have invited me to do an academic visit, I have almost said everything that needs to be said, and it doesn't make sense to go or not. Junxin looked at Princeton University Nasu Hall in his field of vision, and said lightly, "In this case, then let's just go directly to the West Coast, and after going to the West Coast, we will go back to Princeton University, and after dealing with the last things, we will go back to China!" ”
"West Coast, California?" Gu Mengxue asked.
"Well, the University of California!" Junxin said with a smile, "But there are also Stanford University and the University of Southern California, if you are in a good mood, you can also stop by Hollywood, which is the center of American cinema, as the latest major art, you should not miss this opportunity!" ”
"I'm not a film student!" Gu Mengxue rolled her eyes, but Junxin could see that she was still full of curiosity about this center of international films.
"Who are you going to see this time?" Gu Mengxue, who was already familiar with Junxin's going out mode, just thought about it, and then asked very dryly. Every time Junxin goes out, he basically visits someone in various universities or research institutes, and as for others, such as shopping or visiting a certain scenic spot, it is almost not in his consideration.
"At USC, some of the questions about superstring theory need to be discussed carefully with Professor Schwartz, and nothing else." Jun Xin said honestly, "There is nothing to say about Stanford University, and it doesn't matter if you go or not, but after all, it is now the second largest school in the United States. ”
"The focus is on the University of California, Mr. Chen's invitation, and I have some questions I want to discuss with Professor Qian Yongjian, and I have already asked Mr. Chen to introduce him on my behalf, so I guess I will stay there for a while!"
"When are you leaving?" Gu Mengxue asked.
"Let's go tomorrow!"
"Good!"
For Junxin, in the western region of the United States, only Los Angeles and San Francisco are Junxin's destinations, and the other places are not of much interest to Junxin. Because they had agreed with Professor Schwartz to visit, in order to take a walk around Los Angeles first, Junxin and Gu Mengxue took a plane to Los Angeles early the next morning after sending off other exchange students who were going to spend the remaining days to have a good experience of other exchange students in the United States.
Los Angeles, in the western United States, is a large city. The famous Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most famous teams in NBA history, are in the city.
For Junxin, Los Angeles, the city of angels, is not very attractive to Junxin. However, the University of Southern California, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Los Angeles, etc., which are located in the city, are the focus of Junxin's attention. And Gu Mengxue, who came with him, was even more curious about Hollywood, and the University of Southern California, which is closely related to Hollywood. Probably because the two people have the same goal, this time the coordination will be so easy, otherwise Gu Mengxue also wants to learn from other people to choose some other places in the United States for investigation.
In terms of entertainment in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Disneyland California, Universal Studios and many more are located in Los Angeles, and the luxury city of Beverly Hills in Southern California is also located in the heart of Los Angeles, where many international celebrities live.
Hollywood, the bustling area of Los Angeles and the faint prospect of becoming the world's largest entertainment center, is the first choice for anyone who comes to Los Angeles, unless you're a scholar who wants to go to a university, or a Lakers fan who wants to go to a Lakers arena.
Junxin and Gu Mengxue deliberately came to Los Angeles some time in advance, and their main purpose was to see what Hollywood looked like in the entertainment center of the United States.
In fact, what Junxin wants to know is what Hollywood was like in the 80s, after all, in his previous life, because of work and academic exchanges, Junxin had also come to Los Angeles many times, and also took time to go to Hollywood, and had an impression of Hollywood that had changed greatly decades later, so Hollywood was just a curiosity for Junxin, but for Gu Mengxue, it was a very important place.
After getting to know Junxin, Gu Mengxue, who changed the ancient literature she studied to modern literature, is very interested in any culture-related industries. She may not need to know exactly how these industries work, but she's interested in what happens behind the scenes of these wonderful movies and TV shows. And from this point of view, it is true that there is no place in the world that can compare to Hollywood.
Junxin's interest in Hollywood is already very weak, so no matter how Gu Mengxue tosses, Junxin just smiles by her side, and occasionally stops to enjoy the life of a normal ordinary person, without thinking much about academic things.
is not like the bloody plot that often appears in other novels, being favored by the so-called scouts, but the two of them had a very enjoyable day of playing, from getting up in the morning, and strolling until most places have turned off the lights in the evening before returning to the hotel, and finally reluctantly visited Hollywood.
Junxin doesn't like shopping very much, but the occasional leisure is also very interesting for him, in the process of shopping, Junxin not only bought a lot of things for Gu Mengxue, but also bought a camera in a hurry. As the future has entered the digital age, it is rare to see an ordinary camera like this. Junxin was very interested in taking a lot of photos of Gu Mengxue, and he was too addicted to shooting, but in this way, it cost him more than ten rolls of film, which was also a lot of expenses, and Gu Mengxue was told about it.
However, after taking out the developed film, as the protagonist in the photo, Gu Mengxue still recognized Junxin's photography skills, which made him a rare hobby of photography.
After the break, early the next morning, Junxin took Gu Mengxue to the campus of the University of Southern California, and soon came to Professor Schwartz's office with the instructions of the sign on the campus.
