Chapter 268 268 Emerald City

The plane slowly fell at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Settle-taa.international.airport), and the misty drizzle outside the window began. The whole city was like a landscape painting of ink. The green forests with thick ink slowly spread from the bottom of their eyes to the distance. The edge of the city with light ink was outlined faintly in the mist. The tulle-like rain fog spread over the city, like the wonderfully determined Middle-earth world in John Ronald.reuel.tolkien's painting, as if the Hobbit villages could be seen intertwined at the far end of the horizon.

After the flight, Hugo pressed his baseball cap slightly, tied up the belt of the windbreaker, and then followed Joseph and dragged his luggage out of the airport. The rich green mixed with a mist came to his face. The fresh earthy aroma leaped lightly on his skin with a faint dampness. The vitality and hope that belonged only to spring extended infinitely in the drizzle. The fatigue and irritability in his heart were quietly resolved.

No wonder this place has become an emerald city, and the beautiful green mountains and clear waters are so beautiful and moving.

Standing at the airport gate, no one noticed Hugo's arrival, no reporters' siege, no flashing, which made Hugo breathe a sigh of relief. Although he had adjusted his mood now, when he saw reporters rushing up, he was still irritable. It was really good to be able to avoid dealing with reporters.

Joseph stopped a taxi, moved two large boxes into the back compartment, then got into the car, and said to the driver, "Fourth Street, No. 1,112."

"W Hotel (w. Color Attle)?" The driver confirmed.

"Yes." Joseph adjusted his position and gave a positive answer.

The driver slowly drove the car out of the parking area, and the car fell into silence. Only the sound of the tires colliding with water stains on the ground was heard. The whole city had a sense of tranquility and mystery. Buildings appeared slowly outside the window in the rain and fog, allowing people to intermittently see the tip of the iceberg of this land.

Seattle in 1993 was actually not as famous as it was a few years later. At this time, Seattle relied on the developed shipbuilding industry to attract attention. The Boeing headquarters was located here to win the reputation of "City of Aircraft". However, a few years later, Microsoft and Starbucks, which chose the headquarters address in Seattle, gradually began to rise, which attracted the attention of the whole world. From then on, people really noticed how fresh the air in this city is and how high-end the quality of life is, which also made Seattle the most suitable city for living and living in the United States.

Seattle also has a name called "Alaska Gateway". From here countless people lead to the last wilderness of North America. Hugo couldn't help but think of a 2007 movie "Into.the.wild". The endless wilderness of Alaska outlines the truest appearance of nature in his mind, with ice, snow and green trees.

As the gateway to Alaska, Seattle also has the same incredible as Alaska. Its altitude is very low, but it has ancient glaciers, active volcanoes and snow-covered peaks all year round, which makes the city always filled with a fresh and clean smell. Green mountains, lakes, harbors, and rivers give Seattle unique geographical conditions, and the typical marine climate makes it like spring.

Whether in the United States or elsewhere in the world, there is almost no second city that can be found like Seattle, with mountains and flat bottoms covered by dense, almost pristine forests. The city is decorated with quiet harbors, rivers, green trees, and colorful streets. Among the green mountains surrounding the city, dozens of lakes of varying sizes are hidden. The trees are lush, the grass is green, and even the rain and the wind that passes gently are all green.

The city covered by rain and fog is green and verdant, making people almost unable to help but spread their arms to embrace the city, feeling the excitement and light green in the air.

Looking at Lake Washington, which was looming between buildings, Hugo couldn't help but smile and whispered to Joseph, "If you have the chance to settle here in the future, you will feel refreshed every day."

Joseph knew that Hugo was a little nervous these two days. Although they all knew that the media could not believe everything, especially after experiencing the suspicion of big names, Hugo also understood that whether it was praise or criticism, the media's words must learn to identify the moisture of the content; but understanding the truth is one thing, and using it in life is another. Seeing that almost all media are slandering "Seattle is not sleeping at night", Hugo, who is in a low point, will inevitably be lost.

Although there were not many media that were optimistic about before the release of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" were actually popular, the situation is different now. The attention was not high when "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women" and there were very few media that gave feedback; Hugo was on an upward trend during "Yihai Xiongfeng", and the overall media response was relatively balanced. Now, filming "Seattle Not Sleeping at Night" was Hugo standing at a deep and invisible valley, facing the pressure of all media, and the difficulty was naturally incomparable.

This time, except for the Los Angeles Times, only James Rat of the "U.S. Weekly" said good things for Hugo, believing that this was a great opportunity for Hugo's salted fish to turn over. However, among the truly authoritative media, only Nicholas of the "Los Angeles Times" stood on Hugo's side for the first time, which was surprising.

So, the pressure on Hugo's shoulders is indeed very huge.

Joseph looked at Hugo's tenseness, and did not comfort him, nor did he know how to comfort him. They all understood the principles, but it was not so easy to really relax. In fact, Joseph was even more nervous than Hugo. Since he confirmed the performance of "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", Joseph began to suffer from insomnia, so he didn't want to comfort Hugo, even himself was in a panic.

Now, watching Hugo relax, Joseph couldn't help but turn his gaze to the wonderful scenery outside the window, relaxing his shoulders that were tight and almost stiff. "Living in Seattle? You're crazy. It's raining here every day, so I'm so annoyed. The air is wet. I feel like my clothes can't dry no matter how hard I'm dry."

Hugo chuckled, "It's not a heavy rain here. Such drizzle is always pleasant. Didn't you have such an experience when you were a child, running in the light rain with an umbrella, and then deliberately stepping into the puddle just to see the splashes? The heavy rain makes people irritated, but the light rain makes people like it." Hugo looked out the window again, "Spring seems not far away."

"Haha, that's because you don't live here." The driver suddenly said something, which made Hugo stunned, and Joseph seemed to hold back his smile. "Distance always makes people beautiful."

Hugo had to admit that the driver's words made sense and replied with a smile, "You will know if you live here during this period." After the filming began, Hugo had to live here for a long time, so he could experience the quality of life in Seattle in advance.

"I think you'll live in Malibu." Joseph looked at Hugo's smile and his emotions calmed down unknowingly. Hugo's smile always seemed to have such power, just like a ray of sunshine that penetrated the haze. The curve of the corners of his mouth was outlined with Hugo's smile before he realized it. Even though Hugo was in a tight and anxious state now, Joseph could still get positive energy from Hugo. This feeling was very subtle and comfortable.

"What should you do with your knees living in Seattle?" Joseph complained in anger, and he saw Hugo sticking out his tongue helplessly.

Hugo had an old car accident on his knee, which was prone to rainy days. If he lived in Seattle, the situation would definitely be terrible. So even if the environment in Seattle is good, this is still not the best place for Hugo to live.

The taxi arrived quickly, and it looked about half an hour from the airport to the city center. Of course, the continuous light rain slightly stretched the time. Joseph and Hugo walked into the W Hotel to check in. Before the procedures were completed, the old friends came over from the hotel lobby.

"Good afternoon, man." Robert Reiner came to meet him first. Hugo could see a group of people following him, but for a moment he only saw Nora Everon's figure. Before the others could identify it, Rob hugged him hard, blocking his vision. "Oh, this bad rain made the clothes wet, and he always felt a rotten smell at any time." Rob complained depressedly.

"Rob, why are you here?" Hugo ignored the question of clothes and looked at Nora curiously. The two nodded as saying hello.

Nora smiled and explained, "Rob appeared on the crew as an actor."

"Actor? Oh, sorry, I forgot." Hugo recovered. Although Rob won recognition as a director, he was an actor. However, Hugo has always fixed Rob as the director of "Yihai Xiongfeng", so it is always easy to forget this fact, "What role do you play in the crew?" Hugo has not yet obtained the script of "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", so he is not very clear about the situation.

"Your friend Jay at work." Robert said with a smile.

Hugo looked at the group of actors behind Nora, but did not see Meg Ryan. "Fortunately, I'm not the last to arrive at the crew, otherwise I would feel extremely sorry if I delayed the crew's startup."

"In fact, our entire crew is here, and you are the last one to arrive at the crew." Nora looked at Robert, and the two of them smiled in a tacit understanding and said meaningfully.
