Match Point

Chapter 1508: social influencer

The car running smoothly appears to be stable and quiet, the world flows backwards like a gurgling stream, the car window is rolled down slightly, and a glance is made at the sky through the gap, thick dark clouds are tightly shrouded above, and the steep mountains and mountains are unexpectedly Reveal some majesty.

"It looks like it's going to rain. If it rains, what should we do?"

Gawain muttered to himself, and Tobias, who was sitting across from the rear seat of the limousine, looked up at Gawain, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Don't worry, this is London. They have long been used to the weather in four seasons. At least they are more familiar with it than you. They know what to do."

London, this is the second time that Gao Wen has come to this city full of history. Last year's year-end finals left a bittersweet memory here. Six months later, he returned to this city again.

The weather, without a doubt, is London's world-famous "feature".

The sun was shining one second, and the next second it was stormy; it was still hot summer in the morning, and severe winter in the afternoon. Such a description is really unbelievable, but it is very appropriate. The four seasons of the day are the characteristics—

Because of the strong wind and humidity, London can experience the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day, and city residents have long been accustomed to it.

Therefore, a waterproof windbreaker is a must-have item for everyone in London, not because of fashion, but because it can keep out the wind and rain at any time.

Moreover, a very, very special point is that people don't like umbrellas. This is not because of being cool, but because the heavy rain often lasts for a short time, and it may stop after turning the corner of the street; It is difficult to walk an inch in rainy days, and may even be overturned. Instead, umbrellas increase unnecessary troubles and potential dangers.

Naturally, the windproof and waterproof function of the windbreaker is extremely practical; at the same time, different outfits and different collocations are also spread all over the streets and alleys. One second ago, someone wearing short sleeves passed by, and the next second saw a figure wearing a coat. It also makes London's fashion shine brightly.

It is conceivable that Wimbledon, just on the outskirts of London, is also famous for its changeable weather, even more frequent than Paris—

"It ain't Wimbledon without the rain".

He had just arrived in London in the evening, and Gawain could already feel the changes in the weather.

Eastbourne's bright summer is full of refreshing sea water and hot laziness. I can't help but want to wander in the sky full of green. The training under the sun is full of dry breath, and now it is full of humidity With the cold, large swaths of gray occupying the field of vision, it is really hard to believe that the distance between the two cities is only an hour's drive.

No wonder so many people go to Eastbourne for their holidays and call it the sunniest and brightest corner of the whole of Great Britain.

"Ah, I've already missed him since I left." Gawain retorted half-jokingly, "Now I finally know what Roger meant. In Wimbledon, waiting for the rain to stop is one thing."

This Roger is not Rashid, but Federer.

Tobias didn't hold back, and rolled his eyes, "Dear Gawain, we've been discussing tennis from morning to night, and it's all about tennis for the next two weeks, at least we can put tennis aside for a little bit tonight. "

Gao Wen didn't speak, but just looked at the sky outside the car window again.

Tobias could understand at a glance, "Don't say you regret it now?"

"Haha." Gawain laughed heartily, it seemed that Tobias had hit the mark.

Today, an ordinary Wednesday, Gawain and Dimitrov left Eastbourne and returned to London to prepare for the upcoming Queen's Club Cup—

The Queen's Club Cup is held in London, and the venue is located in West Kensington in the West End of central London. This is a high-end community with profound heritage, gathering nobles and celebrities, and it is absolutely worth every penny. The event has been held since 1885, and it can be seen from the venue that tennis was a purely aristocratic sport at the very beginning.

The venue conditions and weather conditions of the event, everything is the closest to Wimbledon, which is the perfect choice for preparing for Wimbledon.

Just as Monte Carlo is known as the Roland-Garros weathervane, the Queen's Club Cup is also known as the Wimbledon weathervane, but the situation is slightly different -

Because the four giants signed contracts with different grass-court competitions, Murray is the only one who regularly comes to the Queen's Club Cup every year. The other three giants need to see the specific situation, so the champion of the Queen's Club Cup is not necessarily the favorite to win Wimbledon. .

But there's no question that a summit at Queen's Club means Wimbledon's future looks bright.

Last year, Dimitrov won the title at West Kensington, and then ushered in a breakthrough at Wimbledon; Tournament winner, then made it to the fourth round for the first time at Wimbledon.

It is precisely because of this that top players are willing to come to London to compete.

This year, no exception—

Djokovic announced his absence from all grass-court warm-up events due to his French Open final failure and was in a rest period, parachuting to Wimbledon to prepare to defend his title.

Federer signed a ten-year playing agreement with Halle of Germany. His grass warm-up match has always been Halle, and it is the same this year.

Then, both Nadal and Murray arrived in London to compete, and Wawrinka, Gawain, Dimitrov, Cilic, Simon and other players also signed up one after another. In addition, Raonic, who returned from injury, also chose the Queen's Club To start the grass season, the participating lineup can be described as star-studded.

One step, another step, the breath of the grass season is getting closer and closer.

However, tonight, tennis needs to be temporarily sidelined, and Gao Wen has a special event—

The London premiere of "Mission: Impossible 5."

The invitation letter comes from the series star Tom Cruise (Tom-Cruise), that is to say, the legendary superstar personally invited Gawain to the excellent premiere.

Of course~lightnovelpub.net~Gao Wen didn't believe it, those polite scenes were not credible, in Gao Wen's view, this should be an event arranged by Tobias and the sponsor.

Although Gao Wen was not interested, he knew that cooperating with the sponsor's activities was also part of his job, and he needed to perform the corresponding duties.

So, before arriving in London from Eastbourne, he was surrounded by a make-up and styling team, back and forth, before he had time to observe his hotel room, and then on his way to the premiere.

At a glance, Tobias could see Gawain's hesitation.

Seeing the speechless expression of Tobias rolling his eyes, Gawain smiled and raised his hands to express his surrender, "John, I just think that this is not my field, and I don't think the audience comes to the cinema because of me. "

"Although I'm talking about style, but to be honest, I now look like a traffic niche who sneaked here to catch the popularity. I have nothing to do with the movie but insisted on squeezing in to show my face, check the traffic, check the popularity, by the way Check the thickness of your skin."

As he talked, those "movie promotion ambassadors" popped up in Gao Wen's mind. Not only did they have nothing to do with the movies released, but they didn't even have any masterpieces to speak of. , They don't feel ashamed, but Gao Wen does.
