When people mention the North American continent, which city comes to mind first? New York? Los Angeles? Boston? Toronto? Seattle? San Francisco? Vancouver? Or is it Chicago?

In this vast land, a magnificent country has been successfully established in just three hundred years, but it is still not enough to give birth to a long and long history. The prosperity and hustle and bustle of those cities are mostly accompanied by the rise of the economy and political/political changes. After all, they still lack a touch of charm and charm—the gracefulness of Havana and the frenzy of Buenos Aires are not seen. I can't see the splendor of Paris, nor the heaviness of London, nor the style of Rome...

As for Renly's answer? New Orleans.

On the mailing address of letters and postcards, "New Orleans, Louisiana", the abbreviation of the first two capital letters in English is "nola", which also makes local residents affectionately call this beloved city as "Nora" is like calling out to your closest lover.

In fact, New Orleans deserves to be the most distinctive and charming city in the North American continent. The edges and corners clearly outline the outline of the character, like a unique and vivid person, with his own personality and temperament, and his own preferences and habits. , and its own soul.

Just as the names of most cities in the United States are closely related to European culture - New York is a variation from Yorkshire, England, Los Angeles is a Catholic nickname for the place from the time of Spain's maritime empire, so is New Orleans, a city just With a short history of three hundred years, in 1718, through the guidance of the Indians, the French officially settled on the only highland near the mouth of the Mississippi River.

Louisiana takes its name from Louis XIV of the French Bourbon dynasty, while New Orleans takes its name from the Duke of Orleans, the regent of Louis XV.

About "New Orleans", there is a small rumor in history. In French, every word has attributes, feminine or masculine or neuter. "Orleans" is masculine, and "new" is feminine. Attributives with different attributes cannot be used side by side, but the two are paired together. Together - Legend has it that at the beginning of the 18th century, the French aristocracy prevailed in the extravagant style of femininity. The Duke of Orleans was famous for his hobby of smearing and masquerading as women. Therefore, two words with different attributes collided in this way and derived the present city.

Whether the rumors are true or not, what is certain is that New Orleans is indeed a complex of contradictions.

The earliest old town of New Orleans is now the French Quarter next to the Mississippi River. The first group of residents in the early days of the city's establishment was quite chaotic. Row slaves, hunters, gold diggers, bounty hunters, cleaners, and women are all. Body servants, despite the subsequent influx of nuns and missionaries, from the outset the land was doomed to a wild and unruly character, very different from Boston in New England.

What's more, the top-down luxury of the French court has made New Orleans a North American base for the extravagant and corrupt French new aristocracy. )", every night, singing and dancing are eroding day by day, singing and dancing are peaceful, and neither of them hears things outside the window, and even their own fate quietly falls into the hands of others without knowing it.

Although the nickname is "Big Happy", in its three-hundred-year history, this city has experienced vicissitudes of life, and its scarred bitterness and pain still clearly leave traces—

From the French jurisdiction, it came to Spain, and then returned to the French. It was continuously harassed by pirates in the Gulf of Mexico for a long time, and then sold to the Americans by France. It became the first front for farmers to open up wasteland; It became the last position of the "Second American War of Independence", and the precipitation became a paradise for the southern aristocracy, and then became the base camp of the black slave faction. During the American Civil War, it became one of the important bases of the southern camp. and tempering, it evolved into what it is now in the midst of the fire.

The ups and downs of the European continent and the ups and downs of the founding of the United States can be found in New Orleans.

The former French Quarter has been burned down by the Spaniards, but the French aristocracy's style/flow/fancy has become the object of imitation by the southern manor owners; and as a former colony, the residents are mixed with dragons and snakes. It is also a major feature. Pirates, beggars, prostitutes, peasants, and black slaves surrounded the aristocratic men from the European continent. They inherited the cultural essence of Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Ireland and other countries, tempered in the fire of war. It formed the "New Orleans" in the eyes of everyone.

In order to distinguish them from the first generation of immigrants who migrated from the European continent, the second generation of immigrants born in the Louisiana Colony were all called "Creo", even the second generation of mixed blood.

Unlike the cultural fusion of the East Coast or West Coast, New Orleans is very protective of traditional Creole culture - just like the stubborn adherence to the black slave system during the American Civil War, every fusion They all absorb the characteristics of foreign cultures and integrate them into the Clio tradition, which is completely different from the cultural fusion of New York, San Francisco and other cities.

In this land of unique cultural fusion, the best jazz and soul music in American history was born, and at the same time, the biggest carnival in North America was born. The unique local culture of Leo, which is colorful and splendid, gives the city a distinctive texture, standing out on the North American continent.

Regrettably, in 2005, New Orleans was hit by a historic Category 5 Hurricane Katrina, which destroyed almost everything in the city. Riots, looting, flight, and panic shrouded the entire city, like the end of the world. In the end, it was completely reduced to ruins.

Today, nine years later, New Orleans has fully recovered, once again becoming Louisiana's most prosperous and prosperous city, but some injuries, such as population, are irreversible. Before the hurricane hit, the city had a fixed population of nearly 800,000, but now there are only about 370,000 left. This has become the second city after the bankrupt Detroit to experience a sharp drop in population.

When it comes to North America, Renly can't help but think of New Orleans.

Not because he likes it - on the contrary, Renly actually doesn't like the city, because the Clio culture always devours foreign cultures almost savagely, refuses to change and refuses to accept new things, and the traditional old posture always makes him Think of those stubborn aristocrats; but because I wonder if the British hereditary aristocrats are forced to accept new things in the new century, whether they will eventually evolve into New Orleans - those foreign cultures are always integrated in a special way. In the Leo culture, it is not clear whether it is the dross or the essence, so it is left, and it has its own unique charm.

You can dislike New Orleans, but you're bound to be impressed.

This was Renly's second visit to New Orleans, but when he arrived at the airport, he was still a little uncomfortable. Maybe it's because of psychological factors, maybe it's fate - people are bound by fate, and the same is true between people and cities, for example, Renly likes New York more than Los Angeles, obviously New York has worse weather and more population. Dense, more compact, and even more indifferent, but Renly still prefers to live in New York.

When we arrived at New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, the appearance of the "Jurassic World" crew did not cause any crowds or panic, at least the noisy pickup plane did not appear, and the crowded airport did not seem to notice Renly and his party at all. People still focus on their own lives.

This is a good thing for Renly and for the crew. They can go to the crew smoothly and devote themselves to the next filming work step by step.

But Renly stopped at the door of the arrival hall of the airport, and saw a familiar figure in the distance. He raised his hand to the rest of the crew and said hello, "You guys leave first, don't worry about me."

"What's wrong?" Colin looked around in puzzlement, but he didn't see anything unusual. There were not so many flights at the airport at this time, and the surrounding passengers and pedestrians were not busy at all. Capture any special sight.

Renly just smiled and didn't explain, "I won't be late, I know, there's a welcome party tonight, and I'll be there."

Colin didn't know why, but he still sensed Renly's estrangement. He didn't ask any more questions, and nodded in affirmation, "Then be careful on the road."

Renly nodded, then took a step forward.

Colin turned his head and noticed the "abandoned" Nathan and Roy, "How..." Colin didn't turn around, "I thought you were walking with Renly..."

Nathan raised his chin to indicate the direction of the exit. "That's Renly's housekeeper. He's here to pick him up."

"Nathan!" Roy shouted helplessly. Renly didn't explain, which meant that Renly didn't want to explain. Although it wasn't a shocking secret, Nathan's mouth was really... uncontrollable.

Nathan immediately realized his mistake and quickly closed his mouth firmly.

Roy then added, "Let's go with the crew, don't worry about Renly, he will arrive."

Everyone wisely did not break the casserole and asked the question to the end, but all of them looked in the direction Renly left: Butler? A personal butler?

Only a small number of people thought of the answer for the first time: the butler of the hereditary nobles! So, what exactly does a hereditary aristocrat's butler look like?
