The orderly waiting line of yellow taxis at the airport gate reminded Hugo of the scene of the streets and alleys of New York. Hugo and Joseph easily got into a taxi and headed towards the Four Seasons Hotel on Michigan Avenue.

After entering the city, Hugo looked at the electric report sign on the side of the road outside the window, showing the time on the top and the temperature below. The temperature on the report sign is changed almost every other section of the road, and the time interval is only a few minutes. This surprised Hugo, "Are we still in Chicago now? It was just like... it was only forty degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), but I just saw that the report sign showed that it was sixty degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). Are these... two different regions?"

Hugo's words had not yet fallen, and the latest temperature on the report sign on the roadside showed that it had become fifty degrees Fahrenheit again, which shocked Hugo's expression on his face. It was as if he had come to another world. The temperature changed back and forth between winter, spring and autumn. This was so abnormal!

"You read that right, welcome to Chicago." The taxi driver said with a smile, "This is your first time to come to Windy City? The weather here is unpredictable. It is often spring in the morning and winter in the afternoon. Even if the low temperature is within an hour, it will fluctuate greatly. When I left the city to the airport, the temperature in the city was 65 degrees Fahrenheit."

Hugo thought this was really amazing, "Are you serious? Is it because of this strong wind on Lake Michigan?"

"I'm not a meteorologist." The taxi driver still said with a smile, "But, it should be. Look, another gust of wind is coming, and the temperature will definitely drop."

Hugo immediately looked out the window. A building not far away was hanging an Illinois state flag, which was rushing in the wind. Although it was separated by a layer of glass window, you could still feel the strong wind outside the window. Pedestrians on the street skillfully lowered their heads, included their heads in their windbreakers, and walked forward quickly in the wind. However, the wind was too strong, making the windbreaker flutter in the wind, and it looked spectacular.

The temperature displayed on the roadside report sign seemed to drop rapidly with the raging wind, and in an instant it actually dropped to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, which surprised Hugo.

Suddenly, a rapid phone ringing sound came from the car, and the three of them were a little stunned, curious about what the sound was. The taxi driver was even worried about whether there was a problem with the car. In the end, Hugo reacted first, "Tel!" and then patted Joseph, "Mobile phone!" Hugo had not used his mobile phone for a year, and now he was not very adaptable to carrying a phone with him.

Joseph was even a novice. Only then did he realize that he could call at any time now. He was rummaging around for his phone. Hugo quickly comforted the taxi driver, "It's okay, it's a mobile phone, we have forgotten." The taxi driver couldn't help laughing.

Joseph finally found the mobile phone, and the rapid ringtone kept urging. Joseph frowned and opened the flip, then hesitated and didn't know what to do, so he could only look at Hugo helplessly. Hugo pointed to the keyboard, "Green Button." Joseph suddenly realized, pressed the green button, and put it next to his ear.

"Good morning, this is Joseph Gibbs." Joseph said in a panic, but no sound came from the other party, which made Joseph frown, "Hello? Hello! Is anyone?"

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

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

Hugo could vaguely hear some rustling sounds mixed with a man's voice, but he couldn't hear them clearly. Obviously, Joseph was the same, and his eyebrows gathered again, trying to hear the other person's words clearly, and the conversation was intermittent.

"Oh, that's it...what? Yes, I don't know about this, maybe I didn't confirm the message, it's a pity... Sorry to say it again? It's okay, it's okay, we've already been rented for rent now, uh... rent for rent! Yes, we have no problem. What? OK, OK, thank you, thank you. See you later. Ah? I said, meet you later!"

After the phone call came down, Hugo felt sweaty when he sat next to him, let alone Joseph. Joseph leaned directly on the back of the chair, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the mobile phone carefully, and sighed, "I can't hear clearly." He paused, "But it is indeed convenient, although it is a little more difficult." A smile appeared on Joseph's face.

"What's the matter?" Hugo's sigh about this naturally did not exist, so his attention was still focused on the content of the phone.

"Oh, it's the assistant of the show." Joseph remembered, "They sent someone to the airport to pick us up, but I didn't confirm the message before I left. The mobile phone was in my luggage bag. I missed the call again, so I didn't know about this, so we left directly. They waited at the airport for a long time before calling me to confirm."

Hugo nodded repeatedly, "Ah, I didn't expect this." The program team actually sent someone to pick him up. This treatment was the first time Hugo felt. In the past two months, the benefits brought by the success of the two movies have been one after another.

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

"Maybe we will get used to it next time." Hugo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said with a smile. After sighing, Hugo said casually, "It's still not convenient enough now. Maybe you can directly confirm and leave a message on your phone or communicate via email in the future, which will be much more convenient."

"What, what did you say?" Joseph obviously had no idea about Hugo's advanced thoughts and looked at him with a confused look on his face.

"No, nothing." Hugo shook his head, his eyes couldn't help but look out the window, and quickly changed the subject, "Wow, look, the temperature has changed again. Why do I feel like I'm in a sauna, watching the thermometer change up and down."

Hugo's topic was picked up by a taxi driver who was silent for a while. "At the worst time, it is not impossible to change the temperature once a minute." The taxi drivers obviously had accustomed to the climate in Chicago. "You know, the historical highest temperature here has reached over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (forty degrees Celsius), but the historical lowest temperature has also reached over minus ninety degrees Fahrenheit (thirty degrees Celsius)."

"Wow, this is a magical city." Hugo's sighing couldn't help but blurt out. Hugo thought of Xinjiang, and the temperature there was the same, "Wear a fur coat in the morning and wear gauze in the afternoon, and hold the stove to eat watermelon."

Joseph sat next to him, his attention shifted, sighing, but when he heard Hugo's fuss, he couldn't help but smile, "You should worry about your health." Chicago's changing weather is not easy for them, such as "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 these two days. Although there is a temperature difference between morning and evening, it is not an exaggeration. The hottest time of day is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Now when I come to Chicago, the cold and hot weather is really a headache.

Although I came here for the shorter the time, the more intense the changes, so the challenge to physical adaptability is. However, this trip was a sudden one. Hugo and Joseph received the invitation yesterday and rushed over today, which is not common.

According to the normal routine, the invitation to the "Opra talk show" will be issued at least one month in advance because it is a recording program. It will plan the next month's broadcast schedule one month in advance, and then arrange guests, set topics, and set recording time. This is an orderly program. But occasionally special situations will occur, such as the Los Angeles Grand **** triggered after the Rodney King trial in April this year. As a black woman, Oprah naturally made a special program as soon as possible. Such a program recording is outside the plan.

This time Hugo was also a special situation. In fact, Oprah talk show had conceived to invite Hugo on the show as early as early December, but the time was still not ripe enough, and Hugo's itinerary was already full, so it was delayed again and again. After the list of nominations for the Golden Globes came out, Oprah talk show 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 scheduled it to be broadcast before the opening of the Golden Globes ceremony on January 24, which is in line with the hot spots and boost ratings.

So 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, and Joseph had work. He didn't even pack his luggage, so he rushed to the program team and went to hold a production meeting with the program team.

In-depth talk shows like "Oprah Talk Show", the program recording time is relatively long, and the chat scope and depth are different from other talk shows. Therefore, Joseph must briefly understand the process of the program and the topics that the program will involve, and have a preliminary understanding of the program. Similarly, this is also to avoid discussing sensitive topics, which will cause disagreement.

This behavior may not be useful, but it is a necessary step before the program is recorded.
