The orderly waiting line of yellow and colored taxis at the airport’s gate reminded Hugo of the sights of the streets and alleys of New York. Hugo and Joseph easily got into a taxi and headed towards Michigan Avenue. .Avenue) in the direction of Four Seasons Hotel.

After entering the city, Hugo looked at the electric report board on the side of the road outside the window. The time was displayed on the top and the temperature was displayed on the bottom. The temperature on the report board was changed almost every section of the road, and the time interval was not just a few minutes. , This made Hugo quite stunned, "Are we still in Chicago? Just now at the airport's gate, it seemed... only forty degrees Fahrenheit (five degrees Celsius), but I just saw that the report board said there was Sixty degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius), are these... two different areas?"

Hugo’s words have not yet fallen. The report board on the roadside showed that the latest temperature has changed to fifty degrees Fahrenheit again. This made the expression on Hugo’s face so shocked, it seemed like he had come to another world. The temperature changes back and forth between winter,'spring' days, and autumn, which is abnormal!

"You're not mistaken, welcome to Chicago." The taxi driver said with a smile on his face, "Is this your first time in Windy City? The weather here is unpredictable, often in the morning or in the'spring' day, but in the afternoon. It's winter, and the low temperature fluctuates greatly even within an hour. When I went out of the city to the airport, the temperature in the city was 65 degrees Fahrenheit."

Hugo thought it was amazing. "Are you serious? Is it because of the strong wind on Lake Michigan?"

"I'm not a meteorologist." The taxi driver still smiled and said, "But, it should be. Look, now another wind is coming, and the temperature is definitely going to drop."

Hugo immediately looked out of the window. A building not far away was hung with an Illinois state flag, rising in the wind and hunting. Although there is a layer of glass windows, you can still feel the strong wind outside the window. , The pedestrians on the street lowered their heads skillfully, included their heads in the windbreaker, and walked quickly against the wind, but the wind was too big, making the windbreaker flutter in the wind, looking spectacular.

The temperature displayed on the roadside report board seemed to drop rapidly with the raging wind, and in an instant it dropped to forty-eight degrees Fahrenheit, which made Hugo amazed.

Suddenly, there was a rush of telephone ringing in the carriage, and the three of them were a little dazed, wondering what the sound was. The taxi driver was even worried whether there was a problem with the car. In the end, Hugo was the first to react, "Call! Then he patted Joseph, "Mobile phone!" Hugo hasn't used a mobile phone for a year, and now he is still not comfortable with carrying a phone with him.

Joseph was even a novice, and he realized that he could make calls anytime now. He hurriedly searched for his phone. Hugo quickly comforted the taxi driver, "It's okay, it's a mobile phone." , We all forgot." The taxi driver couldn't help laughing.

Joseph finally found the mobile phone. The rushing ringtone kept urging. Joseph frowned and opened the flap. Then he hesitated not knowing what to do. He looked at Hugo helplessly, and Hugo pointed to the keyboard. , "Green'color' button." Joseph suddenly realized, after pressing the green'color' button, he placed it next to his ear.

"Good morning, this is Joseph-Gibbs." Joseph said in a flustered ‘fuzzy’, but there was no voice from the other party, which made Joseph frown, "Hello? Hello! Is there anyone?"

Hugo understood right away, it must be a signal problem. The current mobile phone technology has not yet fully matured, and the number of signal towers is not enough, the quality of the call is indeed a big problem. However, Hugo has never used a phone before, and I don't know the quality. From Joseph's irritable expression, it can be seen that the quality is not satisfactory.

"Huh, finally...who is there?" Joseph's eyebrows stretched out immediately, and words finally came from the other end.

Sitting next to Hugo, he could faintly hear some rustling sounds, mixed with the voice of a man, but he couldn't hear him clearly. Obviously, Joseph was the same, his eyebrows gathered again, trying hard to hear the other party's words clearly, the conversation was also intermittent.

"Oh, that's it...what? Yes, I don't know about it, maybe I didn't confirm the message, it's a pity... I'm sorry to say it again? It's okay, it's okay, we are now on the rental, uh... rental! Yes, we have no problem. What? Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. See you later. Ah? I said, see you later!"

After the phone call, Hugo felt sweaty as he sat next to him, not to mention Joseph. Joseph leaned directly on the back of the chair, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the mobile phone carefully, and exclaimed, "I can't hear you really well." He paused, "But it's convenient, although it's a bit more difficult." A smile still appeared on Joseph's face.

"What's the matter?" Hugo's sigh for this is naturally non-existent, so his attention is still locked on the content of the phone.

"Oh, it's the assistant of the show." Joseph just remembered, "They sent someone to the airport to pick us up, but I didn't confirm my message before I left. The mobile phone was in my luggage and I missed the call again. Without knowing this, we left directly. They waited for a long time at the airport before calling me to confirm."

Hugo nodded again and again, "Ah, I didn't expect it." The program crew actually sent someone to pick up the plane. This is the first time Hugo felt the benefits brought by the success of the two films in the past two months. It's really one after another.

"Yes, I didn't expect it." Joseph was also a little surprised. He could feel the importance attached to Hugo by the "Oprah Talk Show" program group, which made him faintly excited, because this was an affirmation of Hugo.

"Maybe we will get used to it next time." Hugo couldn't help but raised his mouth, and said with a smile. After sighing, Hugo casually said, “It’s still not convenient right now. Maybe in the future, you can confirm the message directly on your mobile phone, or you can communicate via e-mail, which is much more convenient.”

"What, what are you talking about?" Joseph obviously had no thoughts on Hugo's advanced thoughts, and he looked at him with a ‘bewildered’ and ‘confused’ expression on his face.

"No, nothing." Hugo shook his head, looked out the window, and quickly changed the subject, "Wow, look, the temperature has changed again, how come I feel like I'm in a sauna, looking at the thermometer Change up and down."

Hugo’s topic was picked up by the taxi driver who was silent for a while. “In the worst case, it’s not impossible for the temperature to change once a minute.” The taxi driver is obviously used to the Chicago climate, “You I know that the highest temperature in history here has reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), but the lowest temperature in history has also reached minus ninety degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius)."

"Wow, this is a magical city." Hugo's sigh couldn't help but blurted out, and Hugo thought of something new. Xinjiang, the temperature there is also like this, "wear a leather jacket in the morning, wear gauze at noon, and eat watermelon by the stove...".

Joseph sat next to him, his attention shifted, and sighed again and again, but when he heard Hugo's fuss, he couldn't help but smiled, "You should worry about your health." Chicago is changing a lot. The weather is not easy for them "outsiders", so how to choose the right clothes is very important.

When I came from Los Angeles, the temperature in Los Angeles has been around 60 degrees Fahrenheit for these two days. Although there is a temperature difference between morning and night, it is not an exaggeration. The hottest day is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. And now when I come to Chicago, the hot and cold weather is really a headache.

Although it was only for the purpose of recording the show, the shorter the time, the more violent the changes, so the challenge to the body's ability to adapt is more severe. However, this trip was unexpected. Hugo and Joseph accepted the invitation yesterday and rushed over today. This does not happen very often.

According to the usual formal procedures, the invitation to the "Oprah Talk Show" will be sent out at least one month in advance, because this is a recorded program, plan the next month’s broadcast schedule one month in advance, and then arrange guests and design It is a methodical procedure to decide the topic and set the recording time. But occasionally there are special circumstances. For example, the Los Angeles turmoil caused by Rodney's first gold trial in April this year, Oprah, as the representative of black women's sex, naturally produced a special program for the first time. , This kind of program recording is not planned~www.readwn.com~ This time Hugo is also considered a special case. In fact, Oprah’s talk show had conceived of inviting Hugo on the show as early as December, but the timing was still not mature enough, and Hugo’s schedule had already been fully arranged, so it was delayed. After the nomination list for the Golden Globes came out, Oprah knew that the time had come, so they immediately sent an invitation to Joseph, hoping to record the show as soon as possible, and then arrange for the Golden Globes on January 24 It was broadcast before the opening of the awards ceremony, which matched the hot spots and boosted the ratings.

That's why Hugo and Joseph came to Chicago before the New Year to participate in the recording of the show.

After arriving at the hotel, Hugo stayed in the hotel room while Joseph still had a job. He didn't even pack his luggage, so he rushed to the program team and went to have a production meeting with the program team.

For in-depth talk shows like "Oprah Talk Show", the recording time of the show is relatively long, and the scope and depth of the chat are also different from other talk shows, so Joseph must briefly understand the flow of the show and the topics that the show will involve. The program has a preliminary understanding. Again, this is to avoid discussing sensitive topics, which may cause unhappiness.

This behavior is not necessarily useful, but it is a link that must be done before the program is recorded.
