Chapter 1062: Brilliant Brushstrokes
Shen Fu's apartment is located in London's West End, and Notting Hill is also in London's West End, and the group is less than 10 minutes away by car.
On a Saturday, the Notting Hill Market is bustling with people.
After getting out of the car, Bian Xuedao was stunned for five seconds.
The Notting Hill in front of him is too different from the romantic resort he imagined, and it is also quite different from the scene in the movie. Compared with the fairytale-like romantic atmosphere in the movie, the atmosphere of life on the ground is amazingly rich.
Shen Fu had obviously been to Notting Hill.
She took Bian Xuedao to turn left and right with ease, and introduced the names of buildings and shops on both sides of the street.
Wearing sunglasses to see things has a color difference, while learning the Tao from time to time to lower his head and look at the color from the sunglasses.
Li Bing and Mu Long followed Bian Shen one step behind them like shadows, not looking at the store or the goods, only observing the people coming and going.
Walk past a row of colorful houses and you'll arrive at the bazaar.
At the famous Portobello-Road, Bian Xuedao saw all kinds of silver tableware, CDs, records, golf clubs, books, oil paintings, parchment rolls, antique cameras, vintage telephones, vintage typewriters, old military uniforms, portraits and trinkets, and he even saw blue and white porcelain, Ming and Qing dynasty scrolls, and newspapers from 1937.
Seeing Bian Xuedao's expression, Shen Fu said: "The oldest antiques here can be traced back to the Victorian era in the 17th century. The antique jewelry shops in the neighborhood have been in business for many years, and if you are lucky and have a good eye, you can find a lot of treasures. ”
Bian Xuedao asked curiously, "Have you been here?"
Shen Fu nodded: "A few months ago, I bought a 1.3-carat antique diamond ring for 5,000 pounds here, and I took it back to find someone to identify it, it is genuine, the quality is very high, and it has been some years, so it is basically earned." ”
Listening to Shen Fu talk about the diamond ring, Bian Xuedao's expression was a little stunned.
Shen Fu smiled and said, "Don't think about it, I'm not a young girl, so I'm not obsessed with these things." I bought that ring purely because I felt that I would consume it as soon as my mind was hot. ”
Bian Xuedao looked down at Shen Fu's hands, and saw that her hands were ten fingers light, without any ornaments.
Shen Fu saw it and whispered, "I'll wear it when I retire." ”
Bian Xuedao patted Shen Fu's hand holding his arm and didn't speak.
The two walked in silence for a while, and met an old white couple selling groceries on the street, both of whom had white hair and were at least 70 years old.
The stall in front of the old couple was messy with a few yellowed books, a few oil paintings in disrepair, a few carved old picture frames, and a stack of old postcards.
What intrigued Bian Xuedao was that the two old men did not look at the flow of people passing in front of the stall, but sat opposite each other, drinking coffee and eating bread at the same time, their expressions were both comfortable and satisfied, and they seemed to be completely immersed in their happy time. There was a golden retriever puppy lying next to the feet of the two, probably because the sun had made it too comfortable, and it was drowsy with its eyes closed, completely ignoring the footsteps of people coming and going, and only occasionally twitching its ears slightly.
Bian Xuedao walked over and took off his sunglasses to look at the old man's stall.
Seeing Bian Xuedao, he picked up an old postcard and looked at it again, and the old man said: "This is a postcard from 1966, and it has been 40 years. ”
Bian Xuedao asked, "How much?"
The old man said, "Two pounds." ”
Putting down the postcard, Bian Xuedao picked up an old diary pressed under the book.
Flipping through it, it was full of handwritten beautiful English, and he raised his diary and asked the old man, "What is this?"
The old man said, "Travel diary. ”
"Travel diary?" Bian Xuedao asked casually, "Who wrote it?"
The old man said, "My grandfather wrote it when he was young, and it is more than 100 years old. ”
Bian Xuedao: "......"
Shen Fu took the notebook from Bian Xuedao's hand, looked at it a few times, and asked the old man, "How do you sell this?"
The old man said, "100 pounds." ”
Bian Xuedao asked curiously: "Why do you want to sell such a meaningful thing?"
The old man said calmly, "When I die, no one cares about it. ”
Shen Fu tried to bargain and asked, "£100 is a bit expensive, can it be cheaper?"
The old man shook his head.
Shen Fu thought for a while and asked, "What did your grandfather do when he was young?"
The old man said: "He is just an ordinary person, and ordinary people may not have moving stories in their lives." ”
The old man's words touched Bian Xuedao, and he took out his wallet and said, "I want the diary and the postcard just now." ”
The old man didn't seem to expect that someone would really buy this diary, he stared at the diary in Shen Fu's hand for two seconds, there was a faint trace of reluctance in his eyes, but finally he said: "I charge you 100 pounds, I hope you can treat this diary well." ”
Bian Xuedao nodded solemnly at the old man: "I will keep it well." ”
Bian Xuedao will indeed keep this diary well.
Not only because this diary reminded him of his diary that recorded the "secret" at a certain moment just now, but also because this diary gave him inspiration and inspired him to think of the script idea of Shen Fu's MV adaptation of the movie.
Bian Xuedao once watched an American movie called "The-words", and the Chinese translation of the movie is called "Wonderful Pen Shenghua".
The film is about a young writer who has hit a creative bottleneck and buys an old document bag in an antique shop in Paris during his honeymoon. Later, in the mezzanine of his document bag, he found a manuscript of a novel about a love story that took place in Paris in the 1940s. The manuscript made the young writer sigh, and he took the novel as his own signature and published it, and it was an instant hit......
In the movie, it's an antique shop, and it's an antique bazaar.
In the movie is a manuscript of a novel, and here is a travel diary.
The movie tells the story of three pairs of men and women, there are three actors in Shen Fu's MV, and Bian Xuedao is also preparing to use several European and American actors, just three pairs.
After leaving the stall, Shen Fu asked Bian Xuedao, "What do you spend £100 on a diary?"
Bian Xuedao said: "Don't you think it's interesting to read something written by a person 100 years ago?"
Staring at Bian Xuedao for a few seconds, Shen Fu said: "The ancient Chinese and ancient texts I learned when I was in school were all written by hundreds of years of ancients, the "Book of Songs" was written by the ancients 2,000 years ago, and "Xu Xiake's Travels", isn't it more interesting to read these?"
Shen Fu rarely lifts the bar, but every time she raises the bar, she can just hit the death hole of Bian Xuedao.
Bian learned Kabakaba's eyes and said: "This is written by a foreign old man, the experience and perspective must be different, look at it in your spare time, maybe you can really find a moving story." ”
Shen Fu looked at Bian Xuedao and said with a smile: "Why don't you also write a travel diary, with your fame, you don't have to wait 100 years, you can sell it for a good price." ”
Bian Xuedao Zhengse said: "It's a good suggestion." ”
When you go to Notting Hill, you can't miss the Blue Door The-Travel-Bookshop in the movie.
After finding the bookstore, Bian Xuedao did not enter the door.
Standing across the street and staring at the bookstore window for a while, Shen Fu asked Bian Xue, "Why don't you go in and have a look?"
Bian Xuedao shook his head slowly: "Don't look at it." ”
Shen Fu asked, "Why?"
Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "If you don't go in to see, you can always imagine what it looks like in your heart." ”
Shen Fu said: "You are really strange. ”
Bian Xuedao said: "It's quite strange. Once I dreamed that I was a newspaper editor, you were a big star, and we were sitting in a restaurant eating, and all the diners around us were secretly observing us, and some people were taking pictures with their mobile phones. There were more and more people around, so I pulled you to run, ran for a long time, and threw off all the people behind you, and you let go of my hand and asked me - who are you?"
Shen Fu listened, pursed his lips and said, "Newspaper editor, why don't you say that you are the owner of a bookstore?"
When passing by a restaurant, Bian Xuedao bought four cups of coffee, one for himself, one for Shen Fu, and Li Bing and Mu Long also had a share.
Walking back while drinking, when he was about to reach the parking place, Bian Xuedao took out his mobile phone to read the information, and was a few steps behind Shen Fu.
Thinking that Bian Xuedao was going to make a call, Shen Fu walked in front and kept a few steps away from him.
At this time, Bian Xuedao quietly walked behind Shen Fu in a few big strides, and suddenly shouted "Hey", Shen Fu stood up and turned around, just bumping into Bian Xuedao, who was only one step away behind her, and the coffee cup in Bian Xuedao's hand was raised, and he spilled the coffee on his clothes.
This time it was Shen Fu's turn to be stunned.
Seeing Bian Xuedao's mischievous expression, Shen Fu instantly understood that he was intentional, this was an intentional reenactment of the plot in the movie.
Looking at Bian Xuedao's clothes, Shen Fu said with a smile: "Are you a child?"
Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "Adults can also have childlike innocence!"
Shen Fu: "......"
Bian Xuedao said: "Look, you spilled my coffee, you have to be responsible for me, let's omit other processes in the movie, and just ask for the ending in the movie." ”
Shen Fu: "......"
Sitting in the car, Shen Fu kept staring at Bian Xuedao's clothes and didn't speak.
After driving the car for a while, he asked Shen Fu: "Do you know what it was like for me to watch "Notting Hill" for the first time?"
Shen Fu finally couldn't hold back and asked, "How do you feel?"
Bian Xuedao said: "I especially want to ask Hugh Grant - do you dare to droop a little more in the corners of your eyes?"
……
……
When Bian Xuedao and Shen Fu traveled to Notting Hill together, Zhu Yugong was desperately smashing things in a villa in Vancouver.
After finding more than 10 doctors and asking about the physical rehabilitation center, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhu Yugong will become a disabled person.
For several days, Zhu Yugong got drunk every day, and when he was drunk, he went crazy.
Lying on the carpet exhausted, Zhu Yugong had only one thought in his mind: I can't go to hell alone!!
On the other hand......
After the news that Zhu Tianyang and Zhu Zhichun went to Songjiang to meet together to learn the Tao reached Zhu Tianqing's ears, Zhu Tianqing immediately felt the crisis.
Zhu Tianqing is not afraid of Zhu Tiansheng, but he is afraid of Zhu Tianyang, if Zhu Tianyang forms an alliance with the boss, Zhu Tianqing knows that he has no chance of winning at all.
