Chapter 209: Fifty boards each?

"I also know that Jessica West and Tiffany West grew up in the United States, so I think you've heard of a movie called The Godfather, right?"

The Godfather is a classic 1972 gangster film produced by Paramount Pictures. Not only has it won the Oscar for Best Film, Best Actor, and Golden Globe Awards for Best Film and Best Director in 73 years, but not only that, but in the 2007 American Film Association selection of "100 Best Films of the Century", this film ranked second only to "Citizen Kane".

Jessica and Tiffany nodded blankly as no surprise, the movie "The Godfather" is definitely famous in the North American continent, and it is basically impossible not to hear about it.

But does the movie "The Godfather" have anything to do with betting?

"Have you seen this movie?" Duan Shanshan continued.

This time, the two shook their heads in unison.

Knowing this movie and having seen this movie are two different concepts. As a gangster movie, "The Godfather" is undoubtedly filled with violent scenes, so it has a rating of R in the United States - "Under 17 to be accompanied by parents". However, Jessica went to South Korea at the age of 12 to be discovered by talent scouts and joined s.m. as a trainee, and Tiffany was sent to Seoul for training after participating in the s.m. company's draft in Los Angeles at the age of 16. Korean-American families are generally more conservative, and neither of their parents has considered taking their daughters to watch such a gangster violence movie, which is too normal.

The film rating of "The Godfather" in South Korea is also 18 bans.

As for the two of them who went to South Korea as trainees, and even after their debut, they had to deal with a lot of training courses or activities every day, where did they have so much free time to watch a lot of movies? Even if they can occasionally take a little time when they become adults, out of the aesthetics of young women, they usually choose contemporary romantic comedies or romance films, which are in line with their aesthetic tastes.

A gangster movie from 34 years ago (the two turned 18 a year before their debut in 2006) obviously won't be in their preferred viewing sequence.

Just as most of the post-80s Gundam fans are fans of "Gundam W", the post-90s Gundam fans talk about "Gundam seed" like a few treasures, the post-00s Gundam fans only know "Gundam 00", and the post-70s Duan Shanshan only likes UC Gundam works. Most audiences of different eras are only exposed to works of their own contemporaries, and few people will be interested in taking the initiative to find some outdated movies to watch, even if they know that the work is a rare classic.

So it's not a strange thing that Jessica and Tiffany haven't really watched The Godfather.

Duan Shanshan spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, then I'll be blunt, the important supporting role in "The Godfather", the eldest son of the first godfather Vito, and the brother of the second godfather Mike, the guy who was shot and killed indiscriminately in the film, his name is Sonny Corleone. The godfather's family in the film is Italian-American, and it's obviously American, right?"

Jessica and Tiffany exchanged suspicious glances, and while Tiffany was still in a daze, Jessica had already taken out her phone and searched for it without saying a word......

However, before Jessica could find the information, someone unexpectedly spoke......

"The character that Planning Duan mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, should be called Sonny instead of Sunny, right?"

Xu Xian, who was held in Yun'er's arms, raised his head slightly, with a little shy smile, and his big sparkling eyes were full of endless curiosity.

The voice was soft, gentle, with a little shyness and a little uncertainty.

Whether it's British or American English, Sonny and Sunny pronounce exactly the same. So someone on the side was immediately confused.

"What are you talking about, what is Sunny and not Sunny, you can tell if it is Sunny or not!"

"Hyoyeon Oni, I mean that Sonny's name in the movie is spelled S-o-n-n-y, which is different from Sunny's name!" Seo Hyun patiently explained.

At this time, Jessica also found the Internet information related to this movie, she put down her mobile phone, she turned her head and said in surprise: "What Busy said is right, you have actually seen this movie......?"

"Ah, busy, did you really secretly go to the eighteenth banned movie?It seems that you have really grown up!Why don't you call me along?" Yuna grinned at her crocodile mouth, shook Seo Hyun's body vigorously, and shouted a little crying and laughing.

Yun'a's words focused the girls' attention on Seo Hyun again, and several Ernies turned their heads to look at Seo Hyun with a smile, waiting for her to give a "reasonable" explanation.

"Aniou (not in Korean)!" Xu Hyun struggled uncomfortably with his arms, but he couldn't get rid of Yun'a's "shackles", and then raised his hand to brush his long hair that was scattered because of being shaken, and habitually lowered his eyelids to avoid the eyes of Ernie before he spoke, "In a course on "History of Film Performing Arts" in the school, Professor Shin mentioned the rivalry between Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in this movie, and later, out of curiosity, I went to find a DVD of this movie and studied it several times...... ”

"Professor Shin's History of Film Performing Arts, why don't I remember it......," Yuna frowned.

Yuna and Seo Hyun are both students of the Department of Drama and Film at Dongguk University, although Yuna entered the school a year earlier than Seo Hyun, but because of the elective courses, for the convenience of communication such as notes and experiences, many classes were deliberately chosen by the two of them.

"That class, Yuna Ernie you seem to have an advertising shooting schedule, so you asked for leave and didn't go!" Xu Xian replied after thinking about it.

Yun'er was speechless.

Well, since it was for the sake of studying and studying, she was busy hiding from everyone and secretly watching the eighteenth banned movie, and it seemed that she couldn't accuse her of anything, so the girls turned their attention back to Duan Shanshan.

"Like we said, there's a Sonny in the movie, but it's not Sunny! is there anything else you'd like to explain?" asked Jessica triumphantly.

"My name is the Chinese word 'Shanni', which is originally a transliteration, and there is no problem if the pronunciation is correct! There is indeed an American name called Shanni, isn't it?" Duan Shanshan replied with a heartfelt voice, "Let's take you busy, the Korean is called??" , the English name is Seo_Hyun, and the rice circle and the media in the mainland of the Celestial Empire call her Xu Xian, and the Taiwanese side translates her as Xu Xuan - aren't they all the same person?"

Jessica was dumbfounded by this simple example.

Before I was planning, I was a writer, and I was more skilled than chewing words, and among the thirty or so people in this room, I was really confident that no one could win me. Besides, when I was in Crazy Town, Warring States Alliance and Life before, I didn't argue with others, and the name of "being able to speak well" is also widely known in the circle, and even my cameo appearance in the Red Army's novel "Han Wei Wenkui" Duan Sique is a super troll...... How many of you little girls still want to win me?

Duan Shanshan was smug and proud, raised the wine glass in front of him, and drank it in a comfortable sip.

"Hey, Uncle Duan, I remember that Sonny's standard Chinese translation name is Sonny, right?" Duan Shanshan's triumphant appearance was a little blind, and Wakazakura couldn't help but stand on Jessica's side and say a word for her.

She studied tourism and hotel management, and naturally memorized the Chinese standard transliteration of many foreign names, and the Italian name Sonny is also one of them.

"You also know that I grew up in Fujian Province, whether it is the 'three' of the threesome, the 'mulberry' of mulberry leaves, the 'cedar' of fir or the 'shang' of merchants, they are all the same sound to me. The transliteration doesn't have to be so serious, the pronunciation is not bad!" Duan Shanshan quibbled without blushing and without a heartbeat.

At this time, the Fujian accent has become one of his reasons for sophistry?

"I've never seen such a brazen person!" Che Guanglong shook his head and smiled bitterly, quoting a famous sentence from Zhuge Liang who scolded Wang Lang to death in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and decisively stood in the position of his daughter-in-law and stabbed his buddy.

At this point, the statements of both sides have also been laid out, the girls feel that Jessica has won, Duan Shanshan also thinks that she has won, and the opinions of the two sides cannot be unified, so they have to choose someone to arbitrate.

The most suitable candidate turned out to be Wakazakura - this girl is a member of the threesome studio, and she has a good relationship with her youth, and there is no dissatisfaction with her impartiality.

"Do you really want me to judge whether you win or lose?" Wakazakura looked left and right with a smile in her eyes.

"It's okay, Ernie, we believe in you!" the girls reassured her.

Duan Shanshan pursed his lips, he also knew that if the people present came to vote, there would definitely not be many people on his side, and he would still be alone, so it didn't matter if he was a little broken.

"Okay, first of all, Uncle Duan, you've already lost!" Ruo Sakura looked at Duan Shanshan with a smile first, "Sonny's translation name is Sonny, not Shanny, judging from the perspective of my four years of professional knowledge in college, your translation is not standardized!"

Duan Shanshan shrugged and didn't speak.

Surprisingly, then, Wakazakura did not decide that Jessica was the winner.

"Jessica West, although it's just a character name in a movie, Sonny is really an Italian name. We all know that the United States is a country of immigrants, and there are many Italians, so there should be someone named Sonny, but you and Tiffany West may not have met each other. The pronunciation of Sonny and Sunny is the same, so their Chinese translations are also the same, and from this point of view, you also lose. ”

"Big fifty boards?" Duan Shanshan smiled happily, "It's okay to tie, it doesn't hurt the peace, at least I don't have to make hundreds of dumplings myself......"

"Ernie, how can you do this!" Jessica sneered.

"I haven't finished yet, who said it was a draw? I'm talking about both of you losing! Since the bet involves not just the two of you, there is no such thing as a tie! You all have to pay your own price!" Wakazakura smiled happily, squinting her eyes and revealing her white front teeth.

"Yay, Ernie is the best!" cheered the other girls except Jessica.

Is that okay?

Duan Shanshan and Jessica looked at each other, and froze there.
