Most of the projects in Universal Studios are related to movie shooting. Some are games based on movie scenes, as well as various special effects performances for movie shooting. However, compared with the zoo area just now, there are more people here, and there are only a few queues.
A Toy Story shooting game kept Hong Tao and Irene standing for more than 40 minutes.
Only then did Hong Tao discover a little trick to avoid queuing, but it was too late.
This trick is very simple. Next to the entrance of every entertainment project in the park, there is something similar to a call machine. Hong Tao didn't notice it at first. When he was queuing up at Toy Story, he had nothing to do and asked several questions.
A person who took a piece of paper from the machine and hurriedly walked away figured out the purpose of the machine.
It turns out that each project has a ticket called FastPass. Each person can get a FastPass at each project with the ticket. This FastPass will have a time marked on it, and tourists can use this FastPass to return to the project at the specified time.
At the entrance, there is no need to queue, you can go in and play directly.
Hong Tao thought about it and realized that this is also a big pit. By controlling the FastPass time, the operators here can force tourists to rush to different parks in the same rush, thereby improving the utilization rate of each project and adding many more
The number of daily package tickets sold is because if you buy a single-day single-park ticket, it is not cost-effective to use FastPass. FastPass times for the same park are similar, and you cannot play several projects at the same time.
All in all, the old Americans are so bad. They make you money and make you happy.
At 3 o'clock sharp, Hong Tao carried Irene back to the parking lot. The prodigal daughter-in-law hugged the railing and did not intend to leave. She insisted on playing a jumping machine. She was sitting in an elevator and slowly went up, and then suddenly the elevator fell down. Everyone
There was a mess in the elevator, yelling and screaming.
But Hong Tao ran out of time. There were still dozens of people in the queue in front of him, and it was impossible for Irene to play in less than an hour. He had no choice but to agree to carry Irene to the parking lot in exchange for her agreeing to leave.
When we returned to Okeechobee, it was almost 5 o'clock. Paul and Carl were waiting for Hong Tao in the hotel lobby. When they saw their car coming back, they didn't even let Hong Tao change his clothes. They got in the car and drove away.
Go straight to the residence of the FLW Fishing Competition Organizing Committee.
The headquarters of the FLW Fishing Competition Organizing Committee is also a hotel. The lottery ceremony was held in the banquet hall on the second floor. Hong Tao thought that the lottery ceremony was the same as the European Carp Fishing Competition. Everyone just found a place to stay and waited for the work on the stage.
The personnel draws out their own numbers and announces it, and that's it.
But after it was ready, Hong Tao found that he was very wrong. The banquet hall was decorated like a boxing ring. Three sides were full of people, and there were various follow lights, astigmatism lights, and computer pattern lights cruising overhead.
A host wearing a white sweatshirt and bow tie was introducing the program on stage.
Whenever a player with the highest total points ranking in the annual FLW competition mentions a player's name, various photos and data of that player will appear on the big screen. Then various cheers will sound from the audience.
and applause, just like introducing the players before an NBA game.
Paul pulled Hong Tao and walked forward. He found two seats in the first row and sat down, and there were only two empty seats here. Hong Tao looked at his left and right, and then at himself. He didn’t need anyone else to tell him.
, I immediately felt the difference between professional and amateur.
The other people in the first row were either wearing fishing clothes with FLW printed on them, or wearing hats of the same style. Only he and Paul were wearing floral singlets and beach shorts. What made Hong Tao even more nervous was that there were people standing around
There are several cameras, and from time to time there will be a photographer with a camera squatting less than one meter in front of a certain player to take a picture of the face, and then the TV picture will appear on the big screen at the same time.
Although Hong Tao is not in the TV industry, he has friends like Bai Chuan in the industry. At this time, an idea immediately popped into his mind: live broadcast!
These fixed and mobile camera positions are only used for live broadcasts. There must be more than one or two broadcast trucks working outside the venue, and the directors and editors inside are also using these camera positions for image editing. In this scene, he
He is very familiar with it. In the past two years, he has not bought a single ticket for the Beijing Guoan Football Team. He asked Bai Chuan to find friends at the Beijing TV station to bring him in. Most of the time, he followed the camera crew to top up the tickets.
"Paul, are you trying to trick me? You didn't say there was a TV broadcast!" Hong Tao finally understood. Paul was trying to trick himself. He only told him that the lottery ceremony was at 5 o'clock and didn't say anything else.
"Aren't European games broadcast on TV? I thought you all knew that. Don't be nervous. When your name is called, just stand up and wave to everyone. You are a wild card player and the host will not have you.
Detailed information." Paul smiled evilly and patted Hong Tao's shoulder. Although he didn't acknowledge it, the expression on his face was already revealing.
"Where's Irene?" Hong Tao felt a little guilty and began to look for a backbone.
"She and Carl are in the back. These are the seats for professional players." Paul gestured wildly towards the back. In fact, he didn't know where Carl and Eileen were sitting. The lights coming from all around the venue were very dazzling.
Nothing can be seen afterward.
"The host won't let me speak, right?" Hong Tao was still worried. Although he had been on TV, they were all recorded and he had never done a live broadcast.
"If you win the competition, I will definitely let you speak, but that will happen in four days. You still have time to draft." Paul smiled even more cunningly when he heard Hong Tao's question.
"It's your uncle! If I win, I have to go to Antarctica. I'll trick you to death, you bastard!" Hong Tao looked at Paul's unlucky character and knew that he had fallen into a trap. There was no use saying anything now.
You can't go back to the hotel to change clothes.
There are more than 300 players in the competition, 97 of them are professional players, and the rest are amateur players. Hong Tao is also included in the 97 professional players. This lottery ceremony is not to draw fishing positions. This kind of lure
There is no fishing position in the competition. The main thing is to draw everyone’s entry numbers and then pair up professional players with amateur players.
The person responsible for drawing player numbers is a regional manager from Wal-Mart and an official from the FLW Association. If they don't come up with a number, the host will read out a player's name, and then a player will stand up in the audience.
, follow-up lights and camera lenses will follow. If you catch up with a famous player, such as the winner of the previous tournament or the overall points champion, the host will invite him to the stage to say a few words.
Since Hong Tao was the only player to participate in this tournament with a wild card, his name was placed last. When the entire lottery ceremony was almost over, the FLW Association official drew his entry number, 111.
Number.
When the host read out his name, Hong Tao stood up from his seat like other contestants, then raised his hands, flashed his face forward, backward, left and right, and planned to sit down.
"Please come to the stage to meet the fishing champion from China. This is also the first player from far away China in the FLW competition. Mr. Hong, please come to the stage..." Before Hong Tao could land on the chair,
, the host said as he walked to the edge of the stage and stretched out a hand to Hong Tao.
"Paul, if I win the championship, can the bet be doubled?" Hong Tao had no place to hide even if he wanted to. Several spotlights surrounded him like a fugitive, and the cameras were all pointed at him. When
After he saw his whole face on the big screen, his hatred for Paul increased even more. The grandson didn't even remind himself that the Disneyland badge strap was still hanging around his neck!
"No problem, if you win the championship, my BASS boat will be yours!" Paul was afraid that Hong Tao would refuse, so he directly pulled Hong Tao up from his seat and pushed him to the stage.
"Hello everyone, my name is Hong Tao. I come from China. I am honored to participate in this competition. I will try my best to achieve a good result in the competition." Hong Tao gritted his molars and walked onto the stage, then took the gift from the host.
into the microphone and said something very beautiful and nutritious.
People who have never been on stage think that they will be very nervous after going on stage. All kinds of eyes are watching them below, and they even have to stutter when they speak. In fact, this is not the case at all, especially on this kind of stage with TV broadcast.
After you walk up, you will find that you can't see anything except the microphone in your hand. There are bright lights in all directions, so you can only find a place where your eyes are not too dazzling.
"Mr. Hong's belt is very unique. My daughter has always wanted one, but unfortunately I haven't had time to take her there yet. Have you just come back from Orlando?" The host was very experienced, and he was afraid that Hong Tao would be too nervous.
, so I first found an irrelevant topic to talk about.
"Yes, my wife and I went to Disneyland today to play. We came back a little late and didn't have time to change clothes." Hong Tao was on stage anyway, so he just said whatever he asked.
"What do you think of Disneyland? My daughter might be in front of the TV. You can give her some experience." The host followed Hong Tao's words and asked.
"It's too big. I only played in a small area. But I want to tell your daughter, don't buy this tape and badge. It's too deceptive. You won't be able to save all those badges when you are your father's age."
." Hong Tao felt that the host was more nervous than himself, so he made a joke with him, and the audience burst into laughter and whistlers.
"Mr. Hong, the information we have is not comprehensive. We only know that you have not only won the fishing championship in China, but also in Japan and Europe, and your partner in the competition is a woman, is that right?" The host first said
Seeing that Hong Tao was starting to joke with himself, he immediately turned to issues related to the competition.
