Chapter 1502: Move by the wind

James Rattle hung up the phone and looked to the side lane. After confirming that there was no car behind him, he quickly hit the steering wheel and went straight around a "u"-shaped turn. This made the young man sitting in the passenger seat a little bit His face was so horrified that he grabbed the handrail, and his eyes kept looking around in a panic, lest a car rushed out suddenly and they would die on the spot.

But James was very proficient. After changing the car's direction freely, he shifted gears and throttled, and set off quickly. He still kept his eyes on quietly looking around to make sure that there was no police car nearby to measure the speed, and then he accelerated forward.

The young man firmly grasped the armrest above the car window with both hands, and lowered his head to make sure that his seat belt was still ensuring his safety. After his dry mouth, he looked at James frequently, as if he was afraid that he would ask if he would provoke him. James was unhappy, but in the end curiosity and worry prevailed, "Mr. Rattle, where are we going?"

"James, call me James. Rodeo Drive." James succinctly replied, but his eyes were constantly looking around, as if a nervous police car would suddenly appear, which made the question mark on the forehead of the young man in the front passenger seat more serious. More and more: What is James looking at?

"But, I thought we were going to step on Burbank to see if there was news?" The young man swallowed nervously, and the question marks in his heart were already overflowing.

"If there is big news on Rodeo Drive, we will naturally need to change the destination." James absently said that the young man in the passenger seat is one of the latest batch of interns recruited by "U.S. Weekly." One, they are very hopeful to work in magazines in the future.

Due to the prosperous Hollywood, the film department needs more and more reporters. James, as the reporter who has the closest personal relationship with Endeavour's elite brokerage company within "U.S. Weekly", has long been the backbone of the magazine, so they have An intern was sent to him, in the form of an apprentice, I hope that James can bring out a group of reporters who can directly take up the job as soon as possible.

There is no news about today’s original plan, and there will be a short period of silence after the Oscars, which is also an important reason why the spring file is still not lively. But in the field of journalism, plans can never keep up with changes. Originally, James still wanted to explain the situation to the interns along the way, but now it seems that there is no time at all. Now every second counts.

"Grass! They are here too!" James suddenly smashed the steering wheel. He saw the intern inexplicably. The intern also quickly looked out of the car window, but he searched for a while, except for the car or the car. Seeing nothing abnormal, James suddenly muttered, "This is all right, they are here too, and the scene will be lively enough for a while."

"Sorry, James, what the **** is going on?" The intern is completely confused, but he can only hold himself in danger of being scolded, hoping that James can explain the situation, otherwise he is completely outside the situation. It's like a passenger on the "Life and Death Speed" bus, but they don't even know that there is a bomb on the bus.

As expected, James ignored the intern at all. The intern bit his lower lip and proactively said, "But there is nothing happening on Rodeo Drive today. Is it an emergency? I just remember that today is Bo Doesn’t this have nothing to do with our film department on the opening day of the Baili flagship store?"

The intern's analysis gave James a surprised glance. As a reporter, the most important thing is the sense of news. This is a talent, but it can also be cultivated. Reporters must learn to find clues from the mass of news, and then make more progress. Dig deeper. It can be said that if you want to be an excellent reporter, the most basic thing is to learn to read news. The intern's seemingly unintentional words just now can see his potential.

James looked out the car window again, and then patiently explained, "Burberry really has nothing to do with us, but if a big-name actor unexpectedly attends, then it has something to do with us." James did not say directly. The answer, but throws out a guiding clue.

"You mean..." The intern's head turned quickly, "Julia Roberts appeared on the scene?" But after all, he still lacked the understanding of the information in the entire circle and could not grasp the main points correctly. But this is also very rare. Since Julia ran away before the wedding in 1991 and eloped with country singer Lyle Lovett (lyle.), she has been away from the movie circle for two years, but last year Julia After the divorce, she returned in a low-key manner, and then launched a full comeback. This year, she has three works on schedule. It can be said that she is currently the hottest topic queen in Hollywood.

James didn't have time to guide slowly at this time. At least he saw the potential of this intern, so he quickly said, "No, it's Hugo Lancaster. Hugo appeared in Burberry's flagship. At the store opening ceremony."

"Wow, Hugo." The intern couldn't help but exclaimed. Obviously he didn't expect to encounter such a situation on his first day of internship. "But... But Hugo is an actor, even if he appears at the unveiling ceremony, then So what?"

James glanced at the intern and showed disgusting eyes, "If your understanding of news is only so simple, then it is better for you to consider changing your career earlier." James looked up and looked forward, then looked for it, "Look. , The black mini van at eleven o’clock, it’s the San Francisco Chronicle’s car; the dark gray Chevrolet at two o’clock, it’s Entertainment Weekly’s car; and you look from the rearview mirror Take a look at the dark brown four-door sedan at five o'clock. It's the Chicago Tribune car..."

The intern followed James’ words, kept turning his head, and then stared at the cars without any features. He knew that James was definitely not talking, so this meant that James had already put the details of these cars and the license plate numbers. Keeping it in my mind, this completely shocked the interns.

If James knew the thoughts in the intern’s mind, he would probably give him a roll of eyes, “I just received a tip saying that Hugo appeared on Rodeo Drive, and this has just passed...” James still dedicatedly explained , To perform the responsibility of his own mentor, "In less than three minutes, other newspapers have also received the news, and everyone is rushing towards the same destination. Why do you think this is?"

The intern only felt that there was too much stuff in his brain, and now there are signs of a crash. He opened his mouth and tried to follow James’s train of thought, but he couldn’t speak for a while, and James didn’t plan to give him another chance. I directly answered, "All reporters are sharks. Just a trace of blood is enough to make them crazy. Now, Hugo is the smell of blood, boy, you may know that Hugo is currently the most influential in the United States. Actor, but you must not know how much effect Hugo can produce."

"He is just an actor, and Burberry is a fashion brand...I don't see any connection between them." The intern quibbleed, but it was actually his true thoughts. In the eyes of laymen, it is really not easy to understand.

"Do you know how many people will change men's clothing because of Hugo's navy blue suit after the Oscars ceremony? Do you know how many people will look at navy blue just because of Hugo's choice? Do you also know how much Burberry’s turnover has risen in the past two years because of Hugo’s personal preferences?"

James’s series of simple questions left the interns completely speechless and unable to respond at all. However, James said with a chuckle, “According to the statistics of the radio station the day before yesterday, there were more than 640,000 phone calls to ask Yu Yu after the Oscar. The source of Guo’s suits; only in the three cities of Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. In the past week, sales of navy blue suits alone have increased by 360%, and even orders for personal tailored suits have increased. Nearly more than 15,000 orders; and Burberry became the first choice of Hugo private server, the turnover has tripled in two years."

A series of real data stunned the intern, but James had already looked like a stranger, "Look at it, today Hugo attended Burberry’s unveiling ceremony. In the next half of a year, Burberry will become a hot topic. I received the news today, and there will definitely not be fewer than 30 reporters who rushed there."

"So Never underestimate Hugo's influence." James finally concluded, and then withdrew his attention, ignored the intern with his open mouth and kept his stiff posture, and stepped on the accelerator. , I hope to be able to reach Rodeo Avenue as soon as possible.

James is already one of the first reporters to rush to the scene. He threw the car keys to the intern and asked the intern to park the car. He went to the scene to grab the news first.

It took nearly twenty minutes for the intern to find the parking space. When he came out of the underground parking lot, he noticed the chaos nearby. Within his sight, a large crowd of people rushed forward, as if there was something in the rear. Like a tsunami or a dinosaur, almost everyone ran in one direction; what’s even more exaggerated is that some people simply threw their cars on the street because they couldn’t find a parking space—it is estimated that the ticket will come right away. It's - but they still rushed out of the car, holding the camera around their necks, and running madly forward. The turbulent crowds were reminiscent of the galloping horses in the African savannah.

The intern could not help but ran with the crowd, but he ran less than two hundred yards. The spectacular scene slowed his pace slowly-because the scene was so shocking that he stood in front of him. More than a thousand people, and even more, the turbulent crowd cut off the street directly!
