"It can't be connected, it can't be connected!" Melerin Dixon complained depressedly, putting the receiver down irritably, but then immediately picked it up and shouted to the outside, "Mom, don't use the phone, don't!" Then he dialed the radio hotline number again, muttering depressedly, "Why can't you always get through! Ahhhh!"

Kayla Cole, who was sitting beside him, biting his lower lip, "Or why would I try it on our phone?"

Melelerin shook her head, "It's useless, I think the radio hotline is completely blown up now." Melelerin looked at the brick phone that was charging on the table, "Kayla, look at the brick. If the charging is done, you can use it to call."

At this time, this scene happened in front of tens of thousands of phone calls across the United States. Tens of thousands of people made phone calls to KCRW radio, which made the radio operators busy for a while. Even if all operators were working, they were still just a drop in the bucket. The busy scene really made people think that the telephone line would melt due to the enthusiasm of the audience.

The director just received the latest data, and the listening rate of radio programs instantly reached 15%. This data is too terrible. In other words, if all radios in the United States are operating, then 90 million radios have chosen their program. Of course, it is generally impossible for all radios to operate at this time at 2:00 pm. According to usual experience, there is absolutely no problem with the number of listeners exceeding 30 million, and it may even be higher, even if it is not inferior to the "Oprah talk show".

Generally speaking, the average listening rate of country music radio stations is about 13%, which is also the highest among all types of radio programs. The average listening rate of news and talk radio stations remains around 11%, second only to country music. But obviously, their conversation programs are booming today! The last time they saw a 15% listening rate in a talk radio program, it seems to be a very distant memory.

The operators of the kcrw radio station were so busy that they had no room to breathe. In order to prevent the telephone line from bursting directly due to overheating, the operators had to speed up their work. After the initial hustle and bustle, the first batch of phones had been filtered, and the director immediately cut the call to Michael.

"Hey, good afternoon, I'm Michael Silverport, Seattle, please speak." Michael said with a smile.

"God, God, God, is it me? Is it really me?" The call was a woman who was so excited that she could not suppress her. Even through the receiver, she could hear the sound of women starting to jump up and down at home excitedly.

"Yes, ma'am, you're currently on the live broadcast. Hugo, say hello to this lady." Michael also felt the excitement on the call, so he kindly satisfied the other party's wish.

"Good afternoon, I'm Hugo. Are you from Seattle..." Hugo just heard Michael say that this was a call from Seattle, so he took over the topic as he was.

"Jessica." said the woman excitedly.

"Jessica!" Hugo stretched out his voice, his face full of smiles, "I'm glad to know you." After experiencing the past, now feeling the real enthusiasm of fans, Hugo is more grateful in his heart. He is just an actor, but he can win the sincere love of fans. This is his luck.

"So, Jessica, do you have any questions to ask Hugo?" Michael received a prompt from the director to speed up and realized that there were countless people waiting to talk to Hugo outside, so he had to speak up and introduce the topic.

"Oh, God, I...I want to ask, God. Yes, I want to ask, Hugo, are you single now?" Jessica's voice was still disordered and unorganized, but at least she raised the question.

"Yes, I'm single." Hugo answered neatly, and then heard Jessica's scream that could penetrate the sky from the receiver, which made Hugo and Michael smile.

"I love you, Hugo, I love you! Thank God!" Jessica shouted wildly, but Michael had to interrupt Jessica's carnival. "I think there should be many women cheering in front of the radio now." As Michael said, women can be seen whistling and screaming at the radio, "So, Jessica, why do you like Hugo so much?"

"What should I say? I like his smile. You know, his smile is enough to make people melt. God, that's a smile worth a hundred million dollars!" Jessica said in anger, making people almost suspect that she would faint in the next second.

Hugo chuckled, "Wow, I'm so rich, that's a good thing for me." Hugo's teasing made another burst of laughter inside and outside the recording studio.

Michael laughed loudly, "It's a pity that you can't see Hugo's smile at this moment. Believe me, that's definitely more than 100 million US dollars." After saying a smile, Michael saw the director reminding him to speed up again. Michael couldn't help but be stunned. Usually, the hotline chat time will be a little longer, and it is generally no problem to control it between 120 and 240 seconds, but today the phone call will be pinched in less than 100 seconds? Michael has a lot of experience. He quickly realized that it must be because the hotline is too busy, so he immediately said, "Jessica, thank you for your call, Hugo, what do you have to say?"

"Thank you for your support, thank you. By the way, I'm smiling now, just a reminder." Hugo also teased himself, causing another scream in front of the radio.

"Thanks to Jessica from Seattle." Michael quickly cut off the phone and then said, "It seems that after Hugo's movie is released this time, Seattle will become a romantic city. It is conceivable that countless people will go to that city shrouded in drizzle and green. Then, the next listener is from... Oh, Chicago, hello!"

"Oh, it's me, yes, I'm Rachel. I really like 'Sleeping in Seattle'." The caller was still a woman. Although her voice was a little confused, she could feel her suppressed excitement, but at least she didn't lose control. "I want to ask, where is your favorite plot in this movie? Also, your collaboration with Meg is really sparky. Can you feel it on the shooting site?"

"Hello, Rachel." Hugo smiled and said hello, "I like this question very much." Hugo said meaningfully, this is a promotion for the movie. "In fact, my favorite clip may be different from many people. What I like is that one night, Sam walked on the deck, sat by the lake and looked at the night sky, while Anne sat on the bench and looked at the sea quietly. Although the two people were separated by the whole country, they were doing the same thing at the same time. Sometimes I even couldn't help but wonder whether the thoughts in their minds were the same."

"Hugo, you actually like this clip, which is really surprising," Michael interjected.

Hugo smiled and nodded, "Yes. Don't you have such an idea? When you look up at the sunrise or admire the moonlight, is there a person in a corner of the world doing the same thing as you? Although you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, you can communicate with each other's hearts. Even if these two people will never meet, at least one person can understand himself. This feeling is really wonderful."

In fact, this is also the core of the entire story of "Seattle Night Without Sleeping", and it is also the part that Hugo feels most deeply now.

"So, what about Meg?" Michael did not hear Rachel's voice, guessing that Rachel was also trapped in his own thoughts and couldn't help but continue the topic.

"Yes, Meg, actually, there are not many parts of me working with Meg, which is the same as in the movie, but when shooting the Empire State Building scene, there was indeed a spark between us, and that feeling was very subtle. Of course, I hope Dennis won't be jealous after hearing it." Hugo teased with a smile.

This time Hugo and Meg worked together for too short, and there was no attention during the filming of the movie, so there was no scandal. This was a blessing.

"A special love movie like 'Seattle Night' will probably be difficult to appear in the future. In fact, this movie can achieve such a huge response, which you didn't expect at the beginning, right?" Rachel finally came to her senses and then asked a question.

"Of course. Although movies are an impossible medium in life, many times, movies must also have logic. This time, movies are an impossible love in the eyes of many people, but fortunately, we have a good director who is also an excellent screenwriter who tells us this story." Hugo answered sincerely.

"Thank you for keeping calls. This is KCRW Radio. The radio hotline is still open. Hugo will sit here to answer everyone's questions." After receiving the director's gesture signal, Michael continued to perform his duties. "I just received the message that more than 30,000 viewers on our radio station have called. This is really an amazing number. Hugo, do you have anything to say about this?"

"Oh!" Hugo couldn't help but sigh, "Although I don't know why you have so many questions, I still have to thank you for your support, which made me flattered. Feeling such enthusiastic support made me feel relieved. It is a blessing to have the movie loved by everyone, so if you have any questions, I will answer them."

"Haha, it seems that Hugo is very satisfied with today's hotline link, so let's get the next call, the phone from San Francisco..." Before Michael could finish his words, a man's voice came from the receiver, and then passed through the radio signal and was transmitted from countless radios across the United States.
