Chapter 669 Encountering Jiang Wen by chance
Fang Minghua wanted to say something and called "Lili".
"Huh?" The girl turned her face and looked at him.
But suddenly, he didn't know what to say, so he just stood there.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I'm fine." The girl smiled:
"Let's go back to the hotel. This is my arrangement for tomorrow. In the morning we will go to St. Peter's Basilica first, then visit the Colosseum, and finally go to the Arch of Constantine, and then go to the Roman Forum. After dinner in the evening, we will sit at the end A shuttle bus to Benevento I’ve already booked a hotel there. What do you think of this arrangement?”
“It’s all up to you.”
The two of us got up early the next morning and had an Italian meal. Make some hollow noodles and start playing.
In the morning, take Metro Line A to Ottaviano San Pietro Station and walk to St. Peter's Basilica. St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is the holiest place in Catholicism. The 138-meter-high dome of the church is a model of Italian Renaissance architectural art and can be called the closest place to heaven.
Facing the hanging statue of Jesus, Li Li crossed her fingers on her chest and murmured something in a low voice.
Fang Minghua felt very strange. After she finished praying, he asked curiously: "When did you start to believe in Catholicism?"
"I didn't. When I returned to China, I went to temples and Taoist temples to face the statues of gods, and I knew how to pray." Explained: "I pray that my relatives, those who love me and the people I love will be happy!"
What a kind girl.
Fang Minghua wanted to ask who the person you loved was, but felt that the words were a bit abrupt and did not say them out.
After visiting St. Peter's Basilica, then take Metro Line B to Colosseo Station. After exiting the metro station, you will see the Colosseum. To the southwest, you can see the most famous relics from the Roman period. The two also took a photo in front of the Arc de Triomphe. The last stop was the Roman Forum.
Fang Minghua first went to the bathroom for a while. When he came out, he found that Li Li was taking photos of several people with a camera. She looked like an Oriental.
When Fang Minghua took a closer look, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
It happened that one of them he had seen not long ago was tall and burly.
Jiang Wen.
Although he had never seen the other young people before, he recognized them just by looking at their faces.
Xia Yu, Geng Le, Ning Jing, Tao Hong!
It turns out that the creative team of "On a Bright Day" came to Italy to participate in the upcoming Venice International Film Festival!
When you come to Italy, your first stop is Rome, so naturally you have to go shopping.
“Jiang Wen!”
Fang Minghua shouted.
Jiang Wen turned around and saw that it was Fang Minghua, and she was suddenly surprised and happy.
"Chairman Fang, have you come to Italy too? Are you alone?"
"No, there is her." Fang Minghua pointed at Li Li who was holding a camera.
“Oh, it’s my sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Jiang Wen apologized repeatedly.
Li Li's face suddenly turned red.
"I'm not his wife."
"Huh? This?"
"He is my wife's cousin." Fang Minghua explained generously: "My novel "Skywalker" won the Nominated for the Strega Literary Award, it was her translation."
Fang Minghua briefly introduced Li Li and explained the purpose of coming to Italy.
"Has your novel been nominated? Congratulations, Chairman Fang, you will definitely win!" Jiang Wen said quickly.
Fang Minghua laughed: "Even if I win the Strega Award, how can you win the Volpi Cup Best Actor and the Golden Lion Award?"
"Chairman Fang, you are joking, that's just Nominated."
"One must win, right? Don't worry, you will never come away empty-handed!"
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Wen introduced Xia Yu and the others to Fang Minghua.
Now these four people are all young and newcomers in the domestic film and television industry. They were a little excited to see the famous Fang Minghua.
He is not only a writer, but also a screenwriter.
What’s even more powerful is that I heard that it secretly controls Shengshi Film and Television, the largest private film and television company in the country!
Fang Minghua smiled and said a few words to everyone, naturally encouraging him to work harder and produce better works.
He also took a special look at Xia Yu.
When he was young, he looked really similar to Zhang Yishan.
It's a pity that Zhang Yishan doesn't have that talent.
"Chairman Fang, are you attending the Venice Film Festival?" Jiang Wen asked again.
“Well, I’m planning to go to Venice after the Literature Award Ceremony. You can’t miss this annual film event.”
“Okay, let’s get in touch again in Venice. I heard Each film from Hong Kong and Taiwan has been shortlisted, and I can meet a lot of Chinese people this time." Jiang Wen was a little excited.
At this Venice Film Festival, Chinese films shone brightly. The film "Long Live Love" directed by Taiwan's famous Tsai Ming-liang finally won the Golden Lion Award and the FIPRESCI Award
"Eastern Evil" filmed by Wong Kar-wai in Hong Kong "Western Poison" won the Best Cinematography Award, and it became a feat for outstanding directors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places to gather in Venice.
"Okay, when we get to Venice and you win the award, I invite you, including those from Hong Kong and Taiwan, to celebrate it!" Fang Minghua said generously.
"Chairman Fang, then I will wait for your words." Jiang Wen smiled.
“Don’t worry.”
The few of them chatted for a while, Jiang Wen and the others said goodbye and left. Fang Minghua and Li Li were also preparing to go to the Roman Forum, which was the last stop of their trip to Rome.
"Brother-in-law, is he Jiang Wen?" Li Li asked as she walked.
"Yes, it's Wang Qiming who starred in "Yanjing Man in New York"." Fang Minghua explained.
"At that time, the film was mainly shot in New York. I had never met the crew. I didn't expect that he would become the director and the film would be shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival!" Li Li found it a bit incredible.
"He is also an excellent director, and his level is on par with Zhang Yimou." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Hey, brother-in-law, when you go to Venice, do you really want to invite Jiang Wen and directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan?" Li Li asked again.
"Of course, Lili, I'll leave this matter to you. Find the best hotel in Venice! Brother-in-law, I'm not short of money!"
"Not only is I not short of money, just You are already a billionaire in those stocks in the United States! Brother-in-law, not only do you write well, but you can also make money by investing, which even Mark Twain can't help but admire!" Li Li said with a look of admiration.
Fang Minghua was a little proud.
“So, don’t wrong yourself in the United States. Your cousin also told you that anyway, you keep my account and you can spend it as you should.”
"No, this money may be of great use to you in the future. I can't spend it carelessly. Besides, I am only one person. My salary and translation income are enough."
One person
< br>Hey.
The two visited the ancient Roman market, and then Li Lifei took Fang Minghua to a Chinese restaurant she had inquired about for a meal, such as Mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork. After returning to the hotel to check out, the two took Leave your luggage and get on the train to the city of Nevento.
