Philadelphia has always been a very important city. It is one of the oldest and most historical 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 largest city in the United States, second only to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston; it is also the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, second only to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

However, whenever people mention Philadelphia, they always treat it as a remote place. When they mention 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 areas think Philadelphia is the countryside as if New Jersey is the suburb of New York.

This is really a situation that makes people laugh and cry. It is precisely because of this special situation that many special stories are worthy of the birth of the city of Philadelphia. For example, in 2005, a comedy called "It's.always.sunny.in.philadelphia" was born, which won the love of countless people with strong self-deprecating and jokes. For example, the "Philadelphia Story" that made Tom Hanks win the lead for the first time also happened in this area.

Philadelphia has a rich cultural heritage and historical trajectory, and is itself a city that has accumulated time. At the same time, it is less than three hours away from Washington and only two hours away from New York. It also has one of the largest ports of Hague, which makes Philadelphia mixed with various elements such as politics, economy, and culture.

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

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

This policy was later proved to be effective. After the Canadian paste and copying, it also led to the shooting position of the North American film industry gradually going north.

This time, the crew of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" chose the shooting base in Philadelphia. In fact, when setting the story, M-Knight Shamaran planned to set the story in Seattle or Chicago, because both cities have a relatively gloomy atmosphere, but they are not as crowded as New York, and are more atmospheric than Boston.

But Hugo expressed different opinions on Knight's idea. The overall atmosphere in Seattle is too bright, and the lush green makes the whole city fresh; Chicago will be more suitable because the whole city is filled with a gray tone between black and white, and a bright gray tone, which will not deliberately create a horrifying atmosphere, nor will it appear out of place with the story.

Many film companies are now willing to shoot in Chicago, but in fact, it is also because of the relevant tax exemption policies of Illinois, including "My Best Friend's Wedding", "Devil's Spokesperson", etc., all of which are all. However, after careful investigation, I still feel that Chicago is not suitable enough. In the end, Catherine Kennedy mentioned Philadelphia, which attracted everyone's attention.

Philadelphia is a very special city. It is the fifth largest city in the United States. However, in fact, the skyscrapers in the city are not too dense, and they will not bring people a sense of overcrowding and oppression. It even has the taste of a retro city in the 1960s and 1970s. Coupled with the lazy and casual style in the city air, and the cultural heritage accumulated by history, this makes Philadelphia full of a unique but moderate family atmosphere, which coincides with the requirements of the "supernatural sixth sense".

In addition, the weather in Philadelphia is not good. "Philadelphia is always sunny" actually describes the mentality of the people of Philadelphia. The weather here is similar to that in New York and Washington. Even in midsummer, it is always filled with a gray and gloomy atmosphere, not to mention the continuous rain and heavy snow in winter.

The dim direct light is very consistent with the "Supernatural Sixth Sense". You only need to use natural light and do not need to make a deliberate change to achieve a dark but not dark atmosphere, perfectly showing the psychological fear in the story that integrates family and family affection.

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

When we arrived in Philadelphia, autumn had quietly arrived. In fact, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" was signed in May, and the entire crew had been formed, but it was not turned on. Time pushed again and again, and a few months passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few months, Hugo has been busy with the promotion of "Trumen's World". Because the movie's follow-up influence is too strong, Hugo has to arrive in Europe in person to cooperate with the promotion. After the publicity period ended, the summer performance of "Twisted Tour" kicked off again. Hugo joined the team of Glory to Death and started the third tour of Glory to Death. Although it was just an informal tour and a non-ticket tour, it still attracted the attention of all young volcanoes and made the entire summer tour market boil.

From late July to September, Glory has been walking on the road until death, joining the midsummer carnival with the underground bands of the "Twisted Tour". Although the anniversary of the release of "Storm" is coming, there has not been much public activity in Glory to Death in the past two years, their appeal has not only not weakened, but on the contrary, it has gradually risen with the rise of "Twisted Tour".

Even those loyal rock fans who were stubborn at the time changed their minds. Maybe they still don’t like glory until death. This is a matter of belief, but they support the “Twisted Tour”. This is indeed the stage for countless underground rock bands to revel in, allowing people to discover many talented people who are sincere in making music. This really injects a shot of a heart-warming shot to American rock music.

In this way, September is already over when all Hugo's itinerary is over.

Before this, "Trumen's World" received an invitation, shortlisted for the Venetian Film Festival, entered the main competition unit, and joined the competition for awards, which made the media excited, because Hugo has won three Oscars, Cannes Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival, and is only one Venetian Film Festival trophy away from the Grand Slam of the Actors. In "Trumen's World", Hugo's outstanding performance is absolutely competitive.

Unfortunately, Hugo missed the Venetian Film Festival because of the "Twisted Tour" and did not attend the Venetian Film Festival in person. In fact, Hugo had never attended the Venetian Film Festival. In the end, "Trumen's World" returned home with regret and failed to win a trophy.

The actor Sean Penn, who was also from the United States, relied on "hurlyburly" to win his first major film festival champion trophy. This result made many media complain, because "hurlyburly" is a group drama, and Robin White, Meg Ryan, Kevin Spacey, Anna Paquin and other groups of people starred in a joint role. Sean's performance was good, but it did not reach the level of winning the award. Relatively speaking, Hugo in "Trueman's World" is far more worthy of recognition of a trophy.

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 for Hugo missing his Grand Slam, but Hugo devoted himself to the "Twisted Tour" and waited until the tour ended in September that Hugo came to Philadelphia and was preparing to take part in the shooting of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense".

When Hugo walked out of Philadelphia International Airport, the cold air that hit him in his face made him shivering a few times. He felt the strong tail power of the hot summer in Los Angeles yesterday, and today he had already experienced the power of autumn tigers. Looking at the large gray area in front of him, the sunlight appeared amber color, sprinkling weakly, even colder than New York.

The reporters rushed forward in a swarm. Looking at the more than 100 reporters in front of him, Hugo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there were so many reporters in Philadelphia. However, the reporter's encirclement was expected. Whether it was the topic of the Venice Film Festival or the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" to start the filming, it was enough to make the uncrowned kings excited.

Especially the latter.

When the box office of "Trumen's World" exceeded 300 million US dollars, Hugo's control over comedy movies has been proven. Although he is not an actor with a full sense of humor like Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy, his interpretation and display of humor undoubtedly won the hearts of the audience. In this case, the prospect of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" has made people even more excited. What kind of quality and level will this horror movie show is the hottest topic recently.

The reporters immediately surrounded Hugo and blocked Hugo. Faced with such a scene, Hugo was relaxed and comfortable. He dealt with the reporters' constant attacks in just a few words, and ignored all the gossip problems. He pushed away the dense crowd in front of him, and quickly walked into the nanny car in front of him. Samora behind him skillfully cut off the rear, closed the car door, and left all the noise and chaos behind him.

The reporters were running tirelessly behind the car, hoping to take a few more photos, but in the end they were not able to do so. They could only watch Hugo go away. A large number of people stood in depressedly, muttering unwillingly: Anyway, the crew will still have to shoot here for a long time, and they can't run away from the monk, but they can't run away from the temple.
Chapter completed!
