Chapter 1211: Obey My Rules

It was soon determined that only one of the four Roman-written Golden Gospels in the legendary Knights Templar's possession remained, as Jerry Goodencain soon found several oddly shaped gold strips in the pit, with thin patterns carved into the flakes of varying widths.

This is supposed to be the trim on the covers of the other three books, judging by the pattern on the stripes, Jerry feels like an ancient Roman style, unlike the Crusaders or the Carolingian era a little earlier.

The Carolingian era was the time when the Golden Gospel became popular again after the ancient Roman period.

Carolinge, also translated as Carolin, comes from the Latin word, which translates into English to mean Charlie.

It was the late 8th century to the middle of the 9th century AD, when the whole of Europe was illiterate or semi-literate, and almost no one except the clergy could read, and the level of the lower clergy was very low, and there was also a lack of education.

To put it bluntly, almost all of Europe, except for the clergy, is blind!

In order to change this situation, Charlemagne of the Carolingian dynasty of the Frankish kingdom at that time recruited outstanding scholars from Europe to the Frankish kingdom to restore and build schools and libraries, forming a Renaissance situation, which is called "the first awakening of Europe".

Because the demand for secretaries increased, the "Golden Gospel" appeared again at that time, and as for the previous four hundred years, there were very few ordinary manuscript books, and the "Golden Gospel" was even more disconnected.

By the way, there was no printing press in Europe at that time, and all books were manuscripts.

At this point, Zhang Nan also came to a bold guess - the four "Golden Gospels" should be the "originals" preserved from the ancient Roman period, because after the Carolingian Renaissance began in the 8th ~ 9th century, the binding of the "Golden Gospels" became more and more luxurious, the most typical is the "gold jewelry plate" that Zhang Nan found in Kitzbühel as a book cover.

Ancient Rome was extravagant, but it didn't reach the point where books were turned into jewelry boxes.

A very good find, so far in the world, there are very few fragments of ancient Roman books in the standard sense, whether they are parchment or papyrus, but the whole book?

It's almost impossible to get around!

Zhang Nan likes to be able to collect the only thing in the world, which feels good!

All the gold edges are also carefully put away, this Jerry is like the most professional archaeological staff, the cleaning speed is super slow, and Zhang Nan didn't think he was slow.

There is no shortage of treasures, and you should always be careful about things related to ancient knowledge.

And Zhang Nan has another idea, one that may be condemned by some experts in cultural relics: to make a few copies of the Golden Gospel with those gold edges, it is obviously much more pleasing to the eye than to look at a few twisted inlaid book edges, at least for himself.

Jerry cleaned up carefully, here Zhang Nan looked at the jade rough, and used a strong flashlight to illuminate the shell of the book, and he could really vaguely see the situation inside from a few angles - it seemed that the book inside was tightly wrapped with a layer of cloth, so that the possibility of the book being well preserved became greater.

Let the housekeeper Tom Jackson call the United States, and when he returns to New York, Zhang Nan will see the operating equipment that can be filled with inert gas.

As for those who recognize the ancient Latin, they also have to find experts, because the ancient Luo people wrote and spoke Latin, Latin, but there was a certain difference between Latin and modern Latin at that time.

In addition, in modern society, Latin is generally considered a dead language, and only a very small number of Christian-Christian clergy and scholars are fluent in it.

Jerry had studied some Latin with Rick, but he was not proficient in it, and he was not able to recognize the "tricked" Latin characters on ancient coins, and he was not yet able to read books fluently.

Fortunately, Latin courses are now offered in many Western universities, and there are people in the United States who are familiar with Latin, and more conveniently, among Jerry and Rick's friends.

It's not hard to find someone, it's just a book, sign a confidentiality agreement with some money, and they will tell you what is written in the book - if the book is not damaged.

Of course, don't worry about spreading it, this is this book, no matter how important the content is, it won't cause too much trouble to Zhang Nan.

There are also seven crowns inside the decaying wooden box, three of which are similar in style to those of Western Europe of the same period, and the other four are very special and have a strong Middle Eastern style.

But it should be the crown of the king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, because it is not a thing of the Arab world with a cross on it.

The state of preservation is good and bad, and the crown as simple as "a gold circle set with precious stones" has not even fallen off the top of the jewels, but a few have almost fallen apart!

No way, those crowns should have had a lot of fabric in their original structure...

Watching Jerry operate carefully to avoid causing more damage to these crowns that had been half-scattered, Zhang Nan watched from the side and said, "Probably at that time, the people of Jerusalem would still decorate their crowns with silk, and it would be strange if they didn't fall apart for a long time.

Ancient Europeans were too fond of silk, Caesar's purple silk robe made the whole of Rome crazy, and in the Crusader era, if a person put on a silk robe in France, he was a nobleman. ”

Speaking of this, the curious Chariz Theron paused for a moment and asked, "Who said that?"

The second half. ”

She knew Caesar's story, but she hadn't heard of it in the second half.

Zhang Nan smiled and didn't answer, did she tell her that it was a little British guy who was only 15 years old this year and named Orlando Bloom?

……

In just two days, the treasure on the top of the wine castle was cleaned up, and Zhang Nan was about to return to New York.

Only then did Adjani say something: three French film companies jointly invited her to star in one of the most expensive films in the French film industry, "Queen Margot".

She wanted to act.

In fact, not only does she want to act, it can be said that the entire French film industry hopes that Adjani will play the absolute first protagonist of the film, Queen Margot, because among the actresses in France and even the world, there is no actress more suitable for her to play that role!

Zhang Nan can feel her woman's heart, she said that she has never seen this movie, but she also knows that her French Rose won the César Award for the fourth time with this queen, and truly became the absolute first French national treasure actress, and her status is unshakable!

"When will filming start?"

"It's still in the preparation stage, and it's estimated that it won't be until next year. ”

Adjani knew that her man should have agreed, but she was still a little cautious.

She knows what kind of man her man is, and she can poke a hole in the sky when she is unhappy!

Zhang Nan smiled, and said casually: "If you want to act, you can act, that is, the producer, the investor and the director, and the guy who plays the king will have a headache." ”

It's a headache, he knows what European movies are, and it's okay for his woman to play a queen, just be happy.

But!

Male audiences in Europe don't want to see some scenes that Zhang Nan doesn't want to appear, and those French filmmakers have to absolutely obey his will!

A French filmmaker may not be the backstage boss of Columbia, but the film is just a little toy for Mr. Allen, and he is not a filmmaker at all!

If you are not a filmmaker, sometimes you don't do things according to the rules of the film industry.

Don't touch the red line set by Mr. Allen, not even close!

Everyone has an army on the surface, God knows what else is in secret, if he is upset, from the owner of the film company to the director and actor, God knows what accidents will happen.

The news circulating in the top echelons of Hollywood has also reached Europe: Mr. Allen of Wall Street only does things according to his own rules!

Just like this, Zhang Nan said to Adjani: "Tell your friends in France, if you don't have enough funds, you can invest a little, but I feel that there is a chance that such a film will lose."

Also, as long as you follow our rules, everyone will be happy. ”

Adjani's big eyes flickered twice, and she smiled, "You are so domineering!"

"yes, that's it.

Make a movie, as long as it's still on this planet, then you have to follow my rules!"
