Chapter 52: A Day in Madrid

After filming the competition, Zhu Xiaoyu did not immediately return to the hotel to edit the film, but found a small restaurant with Li Mudi, and discussed tomorrow's shooting plan while eating. Tomorrow is the day of Castile post-match holiday, Zhu Xiaoyu wants Li Mudi to take a day trip to Madrid, visit several famous attractions in the form of selfies, and lead fans and viewers to experience this famous historical city in Europe. But Xiao Li's otaku attributes are too strong, and he just wants to lie in bed and sleep well on this day when he can finally rest, and he doesn't want to go out for a walk. But I really can't give the other party too much, so I reluctantly agreed to the other party to pick a few places to take a look, but the time is limited to one morning.

Just when the ace dubbing of "World Football" was bitterly persuading the protagonist of this recording show to give him more time, the Castile coach instantly felt as if he had become the Sun Monkey who didn't listen to Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" and wanted to hit the wall with his head. At this time, Li Mudi's mobile phone rang, not the phone ringing, but the prompt sound of the software.

He hurriedly took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his coat hanging on the back of the chair, and at the same time motioned to "chatter" Zhu Xiaoyu to be quiet for a while. opened the phone and found that someone had sent a private message to his Instagram account, and the sender turned out to be Zhang Yixing, a little sheep who had a relationship with him when he was on vacation in New York before. The private message was very brief, saying that he was filming a TV series now, and he and the crew were filming the final location in Italy, and he tried to contact him because it was not far from Spain.

Not far away? Based on the capitals of the two countries, the straight-line distance from Rome to Madrid must be about 2,100 kilometers, right? Thinking of Zhang Yixing's "silly" smiling face, Li Mudi couldn't help but be happy (the protagonist is not engaged in the base, please rest assured), so he dialed the other party's mobile phone number.

It was connected in a few seconds, "Muddie? The little sheep was even confused.

"Well, it's me. I said you're really hot now, and you have filmed all the TV series in Europe? Since exchanging contact information in the United States before New Year's Day, in this short period of more than half a month, the communication between the two people is still very frequent, and they soon become familiar with each other, so Li Mudi will speak so casually.

"Hehe, it's just here to shoot a final ending shot, and our crew spent a lot of time in the United States before."

"That's not bad, the TV series of the Celestial Empire can invest so much, it can be regarded as a matter of care." Li Mudi has always believed that in recent years, domestic production companies seem to have collectively eaten brain fragments, and all kinds of completely unreasonable plot settings, bloody character relationships, and five-cent special effects that make people unable to look at them directly are definitely the best way to exercise the audience's endurance, so he has been a little disappointed, and he has not watched the film and television dramas of the Celestial Empire for a long time. However, my new friends have filmed a new drama, so I still have to care, "Are you the male number one?" Who is the female number one? What does the plot probably say? ”

"How can I play the leading role as a rookie actor? It's barely the third male number, and this role is still introduced by Brother Hong Lei. Oh, by the way, Brother Mudi, you and Brother Hong Lei seem to be fellow villagers! Zhang Yixing's thinking is still so out-of-the-box.

"Yes, we're fellows. So it's his male one, your male third? ”

"Yes, there are three heroines, Che Xiaoxiao, Jiang Shuying and Guan Xiaotong, all of them are so beautiful and their performances are so good. Well, what else did you have just now? By the way, the plot is about the story of a three-star Michelin chef returning to China, which is wonderful. "This synopsis is too simple. didn't wait for Li Mudi to complain, and there was "imagination" over there, "Brother Mudi, several main members of our crew will go to Madrid tomorrow, if you have time, let's meet?" ”

"Isn't it filming? How do you have time to come to Madrid, there are also cameras here? "This crew is a little out of tune, Li Mudi thought to himself.

"No, tomorrow there is the Celestial Empire Food Exhibition of the Madrid International Food Festival, and our TV series is not related to catering, so I will participate in the event at the invitation of the Spanish Celestial Empire group, and take the opportunity to play for a day by the way."

Food festivals? Li Mudi really didn't know about this. At this time, Zhu Xiaoyu, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, waved his hand, and after Li Mudi looked over, he said softly: "Have a friend coming?" Attending a food festival?"

This is not a secret incident, so Li Mudi nodded, took his mobile phone a little farther away and whispered: "Yes, a domestic TV drama crew will come over tomorrow, starring Sun Honglei and Zhang Yixing." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Xiaoyu's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Great, it's just right to shoot you taking your friends to visit the food festival, especially a big-name star like Sun Honglei, which is very beneficial to the ratings of the show and your personal publicity, you must not miss it!" ”

At first glance, this did make the Castile coach a little unhappy, why do I have to rely on Sun Honglei's gimmick to attract the audience? can think about it carefully, but I have to admit that my popularity is indeed quite good now, but it is a very shallow fame, like a flash in the pan, it comes and goes quickly, once there is a new topic on the Internet, who will continue to pay attention to a football coach. However, if you can connect with celebrities in other industries and make your image more three-dimensional, then personal development in the Celestial Empire is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing.

Thinking of this, Li Mudi nodded at Zhu Xiaoyu, then put the phone back to his ear and said to the little sheep: "I just have a rest tomorrow, what time will you arrive in Madrid?" I'll pick you up at the airport. ”

"Great, I haven't seen you in many days, I miss you!" Li Mudi was so frightened by these words that he almost dropped his mobile phone on the plate, but fortunately, Zhang Yixing followed him with a sentence: "Several beauties in our crew will go, and when the time comes, I will introduce you to you, which is a gift from me." "The dimension this kid is in is absolutely peculiar.

After agreeing on the time, Li Mudi immediately called Gines, discussed the arrangements for the next day, and decided with Zhu Xiaoyu to go to a few attractions tomorrow morning, and take the army to the venue of the food festival in the afternoon.

After returning to the apartment in the evening, Li Mudi checked the relevant introduction of the food festival on the Internet, and learned that from January to March every year, the Madrid government will cooperate with the tourism office, Madrid's museums, art galleries, fashion magazines and other departments to hold a catering event, and this year is the 14th Madrid Food Festival. As the event coincides with the Lunar New Year of the Celestial Empire, a special Celestial Empire special session will be held to promote the traditional Celestial Empire cuisine to diners from all over the world.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the 17th, Li Mudi led the cameraman to the Spanish Prime Minister's Palace, located in the northwest suburbs of Madrid, the Moncloa Palace, which is not only the seat of the government, but also the national key cultural relics museum, which treasures a large number of extremely valuable historical relics. After taking a look outside, I got into a taxi and headed straight to Plaza de España, one of the three major squares in the heart of Madrid. The name Piazza di Spagna is famous in Europe and around the world, because there is also a square with this name under the hill where the Holy Trinity Church is located, where the exterior of the classic Roman Holiday was filmed. In contrast, Madrid's Plaza de España is also a very famous attraction, it is located not far north of the Royal Palace of Madrid, flanked by the famous Madrid Tower and the Spanish Tower (the building was once one of the landmarks of the city of Madrid, acquired by the Wanda Group for 265 million euros in 2015, Lao Wang is really rich), and in the center of the square stands the monument to Miguel de Cervantes and the statue of Don Quixote. Surrounded by ancient Romanesque cloisters, arches, capitals, and Sevillian architecture that blends Arabic and Spanish architectural styles, it is worthy of being called the most beautiful square in Spain.

The last trip before lunch was proposed by Li Mudi, and several of them walked along Alcalá Avenue to the Plaza de Cibeles, the holy place where Real Madrid fans celebrated the championship, and wanted to record the frenzy and hustle and bustle hidden under this tranquility with their cameras.

At 3:20 p.m., Gines accompanied Li Mudi and the four-person team of "World Football" to Madrid's Barajas Airport to pick up the airport, and also prepared a bus for the crew members.

Half an hour later, at the exit of the station, Zhang Yixing, who was mixed in with a group of people and kept looking out, saw Li Mudi and his group, and waved his hand excitedly. A large group of Asians came together, which attracted the attention of countless Spaniards.

followed by a simple mutual introduction, last night through Little Sheep, Li Mudi had reached an agreement with the producer of the crew called "Mr. Good", allowing CCTV reporters to shoot their relevant videos during the food festival, after all, it is also a kind of publicity, and it does not involve spoilers, so they still welcome this kind of shooting.

There are a total of nine people in the crew, in addition to producer Zhang Weiwei and "middleman" Zhang Yixing, there are also director Zhang Xiaobo and photographer Liu Bin, and the rest are several main actors Sun Honglei, Jiang Shuying, Wang Yaoqing, Che Xiaoxiao and Guan Xiaotong. One of the biggest stars, Sun Honglei, was as bold as expected, after learning that Li Mudi was his fellow countryman from the little sheep, he immediately hugged him very warmly, and left all his contact information and even his home address, saying that he must contact him often and move around more in the future. Li Mudi was very moved in his heart, he was really a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman, and his eyes were full of tears!

Then facing the three beauties, Xiao Li ran out of power completely, just shook hands briefly, and didn't dare to look at them directly. These three are all long legs, small waists, and extremely delicate faces, but they have their own charms, which are really templates for the beauties of the Celestial Empire, which made Li Mudi's little heart thump again.

Genes on the side chatted with the producer and director with the help of the translator of "World Football", and later learned that it only took them three minutes to agree to let Li Mudi make his screen debut in the film and television industry: he will make a cameo in this TV series, playing a famous football coach with his real name, and was recognized by Zhang Yixing when he was eating in a restaurant, and then had a funny conversation with Sun Honglei, Zhang Yixing and Guan Xiaotong. This scene is not long, only three or four minutes, and will be filmed in the restaurant arranged by Gines after everyone has visited the perfect food festival.

After that, a group of more than 10 people took a bus to Usera, Madrid's "Chinatown", where the Celestial Empire Food Street was held, where the entire street of Nicolas Sanchez was filled with food trucks with a variety of Spanish and Celestial cuisine. In addition to the classics of our cuisine, there are also traditional Spanish dishes such as paella, cod, Iberian ham, sherry, tapa, and Madrid broth, which are recommended to visitors from other countries.
