Superstar

Chapter 2026: Friendly City

Philadelphia has always been a very important city. It is one of the oldest and most historically significant cities in the United States. The Declaration of Independence was passed here. Before the establishment of Washington, Philadelphia was the capital of the United States and is now the fifth in the United States. Large cities are second only to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston; they are also the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, second only to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

However, when people talk about Philadelphia, they always think of it as a poor country. When they talk about the East Coast, people can think of New York, Washington, Miami, and even Boston, but few people mention Philadelphia. In particular, the permanent residents of New York and Washington think that Philadelphia is the countryside—just like New Jersey is a suburb of New York.

This is really a dumbfounding situation. It is precisely because of this special situation that the city of Philadelphia is worthy of the birth of many special stories. For example, in 2005, a comedy called "it's.always.sunny.in." was born directly. With a strong self-deprecating and joking, it has won the love of countless people; another example, the "Philadelphia Story" that made Tom Hanks a actor for the first time also took place in this area.

Philadelphia has a rich cultural heritage and historical trajectory. It is a city that has accumulated time; at the same time, it is less than three hours' drive from Washington, DC, and only two hours' drive from New York. It also has one of the largest cities in the world. Estuary port, which makes Philadelphia mixed with many different elements such as politics, economy, and culture at the same time.

In order to attract more economy and population, Pennsylvania, where Philadelphia is located, has also set a large number of different tax exemptions, including a tolerance tax exemption policy for filming. This also makes many film companies willing to pull the crew to Pennsylvania to start filming work.

Hugo has come to Philadelphia many times and met Cameron Diaz here for the first time. In fact, it was because a film company was recruiting actors here, and many film crews were busy working here. , Cameron came to Philadelphia to seek opportunities.

This policy was later proved to be effective. After Canada was pasted and copied, this also enabled the North American film industry to gradually move northward.

This time, the crew of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" chose Philadelphia as the filming base. In fact, when setting the story, m-Night-Samaran planned to set the story in Seattle or Chicago, because these two cities have a relatively more gloomy atmosphere, but they are not as crowded as New York. It is also more atmospheric from Boston.

But Hugo expressed different opinions on Knight’s idea. The overall atmosphere of Seattle is too bright, and the lush greenery gives the whole city a sense of freshness; Chicago would be more suitable because the whole city is filled with a kind of media. The gray tone between black and white, and it is a clear gray tone, does not appear to deliberately create a horrible atmosphere, nor does it appear to be incompatible with the story.

Many film companies are now willing to shoot in Chicago, in fact, because of Illinois' related tax exemption policies, including "my best friend's wedding", "devil's spokesperson" and so on. However, after a closer inspection, I still felt that Chicago was not suitable enough. In the end, Katherine Kennedy mentioned Philadelphia, which attracted everyone's attention.

Philadelphia is a very special city, it is the fifth largest city in the United States, but in fact, the high-rise buildings in the urban area are not too dense, and it does not give people a sense of overcrowding, even with a sense of oppression. The taste of retro cities in the 1960s and 1970s, coupled with the lazy and casual style permeating the urban air, and the cultural heritage that has been precipitated by history, makes Philadelphia full of a unique but moderate family atmosphere. It coincides with the requirements of the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality".

In addition, the weather in Philadelphia is not good. "Philadelphia is always sunny" actually describes the mentality of the people in Philadelphia. The weather here is similar to that of New York and Washington. Even in midsummer, it is always filled with a gray gloom, let alone rainy. It's winter with continuous and heavy snow.

The dim direct light fits perfectly with the "sixth sense of the supernatural". You only need to use natural light without deliberate changes to achieve the gloomy but not dark atmosphere, which combines the psychology of family and affection in the story. Fear is perfectly displayed.

In the past, Hugo never knew that there are so many mysteries in shooting cities, including the choice of atmosphere and culture, including the effects of weather and light, as well as taxes and government support. This is really a brand new experience.

When I arrived in Philadelphia, autumn had come quietly. In fact, the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" was signed in May, and the entire crew has been formed, but it hasn't been turned on after procrastination. Time has been pushed back and forth, and several months have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few months, Hugo was first busy with the promotion of "Trumen's World". Because the follow-up influence of the film was too strong, Hugo had to personally arrive in Europe to cooperate with the promotion; after the promotion period was over, "distorted" The summer performance of "Tour" also kicked off again. Hugo joined the team of Glory to the Death and began the third tour of Glory to the Death-although it was only an informal tour, and it was a non-ticketed tour, It still attracted the attention of all young volcanoes, and the whole summer tour market was boiling.

From late July to September, glory to death has been on the road, joining the midsummer carnival with the underground bands of the "Twisted Tour", although at this time the second anniversary of the release of "Blurry Rain" is coming soon In the past two years, Glory to Death did not have many public events, but their appeal not only has not diminished, but has also gradually increased with the rise of "distorted tour".

Even the diehard rock fans who were stubborn at the time have changed their minds. Maybe they still don’t like glory to death-this is a matter of belief-but they have supported the "twisted tour", which is indeed countless underground The carnival stage of rock bands has allowed people to discover many talented people who really make music. This really gave American rock music a boost.

In this way, when all of Hugo's trips are over, September is over.

Prior to this, "Trumen's World" received an invitation, was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, entered the main competition unit, and joined the competition for awards. This made the media excited, because Hugo has already won Oscars and Cannes films. The three trophy trophies at the Berlin Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival are only one Venice Film Festival trophy away from the actor Grand Slam. In the "Trumen World", Hugo's outstanding performance is absolutely competitive.

It is a pity that Hugo was absent from the Venice Film Festival because of his "twisted tour" and did not attend the Venice Film Festival in person—in fact, Hugo has never attended the Venice Film Festival. In the end, "Trumen's World" returned empty-handed with great regret, failing to win a trophy.

The winner of the Venice Film Festival was the actor Sean Penn, who was also from the United States. He relied on "hurlyburly" to win his first major film festival trophy. This result has made many media critics, because "Floating World Men and Women" is a group drama, and a group of people such as Robin White, Meg Ryan, Kevin Spacey, Anna Paquin, etc. co-starred. Sean's performance was good, but it didn't reach the height of winning prizes. Relatively speaking, the Hugo of "Trumen's World" is far more worthy of a trophy affirmation.

But the result is the result. No matter how much the media complains, it cannot change the decision of the Venice Film Festival jury.

The media sighed there and expressed regret that Hugo missed his actor Grand Slam, but Hugo devoted himself to the "distortion tour". After a period of the tour in September, Hugo came to Philadelphia. Ready to invest in the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" shooting.

When Hugo walked out of the Philadelphia International Airport, the cold air on his face made him shudder several times in a row. Yesterday, he felt the strong end of the hot summer in Los Angeles. Today, he has experienced the prestige of the autumn tiger. Looking at the large swaths of gray in front of me, the sunlight showed an amber color, and it fell weakly, even colder than New York.

The reporters swarmed forward. Looking at the more than one hundred reporters in front of him, Hugo couldn't help but raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there were so many reporters in Philadelphia. However, the reporter's siege was expected. Whether it was the topic of the Venice Film Festival ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or the launch of the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", it was enough to excite the uncrowned kings.

Especially the latter.

When the box office of "Trumen's World" broke through 300 million US dollars, Hugo's control over comedy movies has been proven. Although he is not a humorous actor like Kim Carey and Eddie Murphy, he The interpretation and presentation of humor has undoubtedly won the hearts of the audience. Under such circumstances, the prospect of the "supernatural sixth sense" is even more exciting-what kind of quality and level this horror movie will show is arguably the hottest topic in the near future.

The reporters immediately surrounded Hugo and blocked Hugo. Facing such a scene, Hugo was relaxed and comfortable. In just a few words, he coped with the continuous problem attacks of the reporters and solved all the gossip questions. Ignored, pushed aside the dense crowd in front of him, walked quickly into the nanny car in front of him, and Samora masterfully broke behind him, closed the car door, leaving all the noise and chaos behind him.

The reporters tirelessly ran in the back of the car, hoping to take a few more photos, but in the end they failed to achieve their wishes. They could only watch Hugo go away. A large number of people stood in place depressed, grumbling unwillingly: Anyway, the crew will be shooting here for a long time, and the monk can't run away from the temple.
