Chapter Seventy-Two: Night in Sicily
In mid-December 1999, the filming of "Gladiator" turned out to be much more difficult than expected.
During filming in Rome, the situation was frequent. First, Connie Nelson, the heroine, actually lost her most important passport in the UK, causing her to be unable to enter Italy.
Immediately afterwards, Russell Crowe suffered multiple fractures of varying degrees in his hips and arms during filming, which greatly affected the filming progress of "Gladiator". No way, he is the protagonist in this movie.
Of course, the most taboo and helpless thing for Ridley still happened. An actor named Oliver Reed in the film suffered a heart attack during filming and died. This cast a shadow over the whole crew.
And those reporters who watched the excitement were even more afraid of chaos, and recently continued to report on the difficulties encountered by "Gladiator" in the newspaper.
Fortunately, this time it was not the same as in the previous life. When Oliver Fried died in the previous life, his role could not be made up, and he had to use CGI technology to fake it.
But because of the late start of filming in this life, Oliver died of illness just a few days after he joined the crew, which caught Ridley off guard, but it was easy to find a replacement actor to participate.
Although the crew continued to have bad news, fortunately, it did not affect the shooting effect.
During the shooting, in order not to affect the traffic conditions, many shots could only be shot in the set up shooting location, and during the shooting, the movie was being filmed here, and the sound of excavators was resounding there.
So here's the problem?
Ahem!
Where did Sean go?
Naturally, he was not in any danger because of Richard Harris's grudge, because Richard Harris, the old British man, stayed in the UK after filming that scene, and the later scenes were not much of a big deal with this old man.
Because there is no Sean in the last few scenes, and this time has to wait for the establishment of the Roman Imperial Garden, which can only speed up the shooting, and now can only shoot other irrelevant shots first, so Sean and Director Ridley Scott took a leave of absence and left the crew.
The reason for leaving the crew was that Nicolas Cage came to Italy. As the release date of "60 Seconds" approaches, Warner's promotional actions are getting bigger and bigger. The U.S. market is fully mobilized. At the same time, there is the box office appeal of Gulas Cage and Angelina, a man and a woman, and there is no need to worry about the box office in North America.
But with Warner's big appetite, it is natural that it will not give up the big ticket warehouse of Europe.
The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Greece, and Italy have become the focus of Warner's European propaganda this time. While Nicolas Cage was promoting in Europe, Angelina was traveling around Canada, Australia and other places.
This time Nicolas Cage drove to Italy, and he also knew from Angelina that Sean was filming a movie in Italy, so as soon as he ended the promotion, he hurriedly called Sean and asked Sean to arrange for him.
Excuse: Who told you to come to Italy earlier than me!
This excuse made Sean choke, not knowing how to refute it. So Sean, who didn't even understand urban traffic, could only drive a business car from the crew to pick up Nicolas Cage at the hotel, and then the two of them went straight to a nearby restaurant to taste an authentic Italian meal.
"Oh, let's be honest, are you and Angelina in a relationship? When I was promoting with her in the United States, I found that she talked about you a lot. Oh, and there's a puppy called Destiny. ”
Nicolas Cage picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, looked at Sean curiously, and said with an ambiguous smile, "I didn't expect you guy to really cuckold that unlucky guy Johnny Lee Miller!" Oooh, man, you're so cool, the next time I see those Brits, I'll laugh at them! ”
"Falk oil!"
Sean doesn't know who the British guys are in Nicholas's mouth, but it is conceivable that they must be British stars in Hollywood. As for who they are, Sean doesn't care about that. But having said that, Sean is also a bit of British ancestry.
That's why Sean couldn't help but scold just now.
Two men in Italy, a place where lazy people and romance are equally flaunted, naturally do not sit in a restaurant and talk about the past and the present.
After eating, this guy Nicolas Cage directly exposed his true nature.
Take Sean by boat to Palermo, the largest city in Sicily, to experience the extraordinary Italian nightlife, along the way, Nicholas constantly introduces Sean to this mysterious island to outsiders. At the same time, I did not forget to mention the entertainment facilities on the island.
If you want to be stylish, then you can go to Milan!
If you want to feel holy, then you naturally want to go to Rome.
However, if you want to have the most fun in Italy and experience the Italian nightlife in an unusual way, then Sicily is definitely the place you should not miss.
It's not just violence and poverty, as the Italian government promotes. Although when it comes to Italy, everyone thinks of the mafia. When it comes to Sicily, it will be recognized as the hometown of the mafia and the source of evil!
However, this does not mean that Sicily is a barren land of riots and no grass.
On the contrary, it's a great place to visit and a city that never sleeps, and, for some reason, Palermo is a place where you can experience life that you never imagined. Of course, only if you have money! As a mafia stronghold, Sicily is definitely one of the best places to relax. As long as you have money, here you are God.
And Italy does not prohibit gambling at all, and even Italy's ** industry is very famous throughout Europe. Their ** companies are all over the country, and Palermo in Sicily is a huge ** city that integrates gambling, prostitution and prostitution.
It seems that Nicolas Cage is familiar with this place, and as soon as he got off the boat, a luxury car came to meet the two, and then drove Nicholas and Sean to a luxury hotel with a rather Italian style, or a luxury manor-style hotel is more suitable.
"Wow, welcome to Italy!"
As soon as he entered the hotel, Nicholas hugged the two blond and blue-eyed plump girls, slapped his big hand on the fat buttocks of the two girls, laughed and said to Sean, "Man, I've got all the money for tonight." There is everything you could want here. Maybe it's not as shocking as Las Vegas, it's a miracle of money piling up. But it's definitely worth the trip. Trust me, you'll find Japanese, Mexican, German, and even African! ”
Looking at Sean, Nicholas leaned into Sean's ear and gently puffed, "And you can play as crazy as you want here, don't worry about exposure, and don't worry about the consequences!" You know? Many European rich second generations even have a human body party here, do you know what Russian roulette and depth charges are? Oh, no more, that's kind of disgusting! But all you have to know is that this place will make you happy all night!"
The girl next to her threw a wink at Sean, and then kissed Nicolas Cage, without a trace of strangeness for such a big star.
"Uh......h You're so enthusiastic baby! I have a few more words to say to my buddy! ”
Letting go of the mouth of the passionate girl, Nicolas Cage looked at Sean with a hint of excitement and said with a smile, "Here you can even control the life and death of others!" Did you know that there are a lot of perverted rich people who like that perverted hobby the most! This kind of thing is impossible to achieve anywhere else, but here is Sicily! ”
Although Nicholas didn't say it all, Sean can imagine that in this mafia stronghold, this is definitely a crazy place.
Seeing Nicholas leave with the two busty girls in his arms, Sean looked helplessly at the red tray in his hand.
There are $50,000 worth of chips inside, the smallest one is $100, and the largest is $10,000.
"Handsome guy, do you need service?"
Dressed in a bunny girl costume and black socks, the plump girl put her hands on Sean's shoulders, her big eyes seduced Sean, but more of her eyes were on the chips on the tray.
"Go get me a drink, and show me around the place." Sean smiled and picked up a $100 chip and placed it between the girl's bare twin peaks, "I want to try my luck with this money, what should I choose?" ”
"Oh, I think 21 and ** will suit you." The sexy bunny girl took out the chips with her gloved hand and pressed her twin peaks towards Sean with a smile, "At the same time, from now on, I'm yours too!" ”
There are a lot of gamblers in the casino, and it is not as professional as Las Vegas, but it is just as lively, Sean put his arm around the bunny girl and chose a table of **. Maybe Sean was really unlucky, and after placing a few bets, the 50,000 chips in his hand disappeared, leaving only a 1,000 chip in the palm of his hand.
"Do you want me to redeem chips for you? I think your good luck is coming. The bunny girl kept squeezing Sean's arm with **, offering flattery and seduction.
"Forget it, give it to you, and it should be a tip for staying with me for so long." Sean flicked, and the chips landed safely between the women's twin peaks, and then quietly broke free from the squeeze of the woman's big breasts, and turned away with a smile.
"Shet! A poor ghost! I finally ran into a Yankee, and it turned out to be a hillbilly! The bunny girl looked at the departing Sean and couldn't help but turn her face and curse.
Originally, she saw Sean and Nicolas Cage coming together, and thought that Sean was either rich or expensive. But I never expected that this guy would leave directly after playing the 50,000 chips given by his friend. Let her secretly hate it. You know, not everyone in Italy speaks English!
Sean didn't want to be the fake breasted woman's ATM, and he wasn't that mentally retarded. And in addition to the other party's plump figure, the others are very inconsistent with Sean's aesthetics. People who are accustomed to eating exquisite dishes, how can they eat the leftovers?
This is something that Sean admires many men who are hungry and have mixed tastes. At least Sean can't do it that hard!
Of course, the more important thing is that Sean really doesn't have enough money in his pocket to squander. Walking through the leafy streets of Palermo, the sea breeze blows, and the mild climate of the Mediterranean makes it not so dry and cold.
The street lights were dim, and Sean walked in the shadow of the lights, looking at the sea not far away, and tightened his trench coat.
"Save ......"
An urgent woman's cry for help rang out, followed by a muffled sound.
