Chapter 114: The Eternal City
The Apennine Peninsula, also known as the Italian Peninsula because it is shaped like a shoe, is one of the three major peninsulas in Southern Europe, and on this island, there are three countries, namely Italy, the Vatican and San Marino.
Although the Vatican is only one country, China, it is the faith of one-sixth of the hearts of the people in the world, because it is the center of "Catholicism" in the world, and the Holy See headed by the Pope is located here, which is the smallest country in the world.
San Marino, the same, the whole country is surrounded by another country, Italy, not much bigger than the Vatican, and the third smallest country in the world today.
As for Italy, the cradle of European peoples and cultures, it once gave birth to Roman culture and Etruscan civilization, and Rome, the capital of Italy, was the center of European politics for centuries.
It was once the capital of the Roman Empire, the birthplace of the European cultural revival, the most populous city in Italy, a world-famous tourist destination, and still retains the Renaissance and Baroque style, known as the "Eternal City".
The Vatican is located in Rome, which is why Rome is also the city with the largest number of churches and monasteries in the world, with more than 700 in the city.
At this moment, in the middle of March 2011, Rome Fiumicino International Airport, also known as Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, is not only the largest airport in Italy, but also the hub of Italian aviation.
Of course, if you really want to count, there are definitely not a few Asian faces who come out of here every day, but the two are different, because one of them is with a goal to block his future life before stepping on this land.
Lin Dong, at the age of 21, finally came to Europe, to the center of world football, and even Italy, which was once the world's number one league.
As for the people around Lin Dong, it is naturally his agent Zhao Shunyu in South Korea, but now, Zhao Shunyu is not only Lin Dong's agent, but also his personal assistant.
"I seem to smell the breath of art" Although Zhao Shunyu was apprehensive at first, when she actually stepped out of the airport, she was exaggerated.
In any case, Lin Dong has also lived in South Korea for two years, so Lin Dong has long been surprised by the exaggeration of Koreans.
Anyway, he can't smell the so-called art, his own family knows his own affairs, he is a vulgar person, besides, in a country rich in 5,000 years of history and culture, Lin Dong's heart is also full of pride.
"Go back to the hotel first" Lin Dong stopped a taxi, carried the salute into the car, and said to Zhao Shunyu.
"Why don't you talk to your friends first?" After getting in the car, Zhao Shunyu asked.
"No, anyway, we agreed on a time of two days, and tomorrow night, I will call him again, and in these two days, we will have a good time in Rome for two days" Lin shook his head and said.
The friend in Zhao Shunyu's mouth is none other than Simone Inzaghi, who played together a few months ago, and the reason why Lin Dong came to Rome is also because of Simone Inzaghi.
After his distraction, Inzaghi Jr. returned to Italy, and then accepted the invitation of the former team Lazio to be the team's youth coach, and it took him half a year to complete the coaching certificate.
At the beginning of the year, the former youth coach retired due to age problems, and Inzaghi Jr. was affirmed by the club, besides, Inzaghi Jr. also played for Lazio for ten years, and finally Inzaghi Jr. became the youth coach.
And just a month ago, Lin Dong found Inzaghi, and he was very impressed by Lin Dong, and in the past six months, the two would occasionally send messages to greet each other.
Eventually, the relationship worked, with Lin expressing his desire to try it out in Europe, and Inzaghi Jr. saying he could help.
For Lin Dong's strength, Inzaghi Jr. still quite recognizes, and he also believes that Lin Dong can play in Europe, even in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A.
In this way, another half a month passed, and Inzaghi Jr. gave Lin Dong a letter and told him that he could come to Lazio for a two-week trial, which is why Lin Dong came to Rome.
As for what Lin Dong was doing in the past few months? Of course, it's to take pictures, complete the previous promises to others, and complete the tasks given to him by little Lori.
In the past few months, Lin Dong first stayed in Hengdian for almost two months and completed the scene of "Step by Step".
During this period, Lin Dong also returned to South Korea several times, and participated in the SBS2010 acting awards, and won the best couple award with Lin Yuner.
This is also Lin Dong's second meeting of a member of Girls' Generation after leaving Japan, and this time they met, and the intimacy accumulated with Lin Yun'er before filming has long disappeared.
Even one night, except for interacting with two sentences when he came on stage, there was no communication at all at other times, and even Lin Dong deliberately sat in the middle of Yoon Eun Hye and Gu Hye Sun.
For this reason, after the award ceremony, Lin Yuner almost chased Lin Dong and scolded, but fortunately, at this time, the young agent came to take Lin Yuner away.
And Lin Dong did not appear in South Korea for a few months, and there was not even a further itinerary, and roughly lost a lot of fans, from 100,000 in the heyday of the original version to only 50,000 now.
After attending the award ceremony, Lin Dong returned to China and continued to complete his role, and then flew to the United States in February to complete the cooperation with Rihanna.
When the two collaborated on the song, the American music industry was a little shocked, as a yellow Asian, Lin Dong could finish the last black rap to this extent.
"What'smyname?" has completed a strong reshuffle, not to mention Billboard, and even on several other authoritative charts, it has reached the top, and Lin Dong has finally won the recognition of the American entertainment industry with this song.
It's a pity that Lin Dong's mind at this time has not been put on this for a long time, and the reason why he is still completely cooperating with Rihanna is entirely because he proposed it to Rihanna before, and Rihanna is quite attentive.
Of course, there is a more important point, because of Lin Dong's little wings, this song that originally belonged to Rihanna and the male duck did not appear, so he had to come by himself.
Because of this cooperation, the scandal between Lin Dong and Rihanna caused a sensation all over the world, and in the face of additional speculation, Rihanna made no secret of her good impression of Lin Dong.
Even because of this, Rihanna's fanatical suitor Male Duck also expressed his disdain for Lin Dong on Twitter.
In this regard, Lin Dong didn't pay attention to it at first, but the male duck was a little reluctant, and even openly invited Lin Dong to fight, and had a man-to-man duel.
Well, this is his own gun, originally Lin Dong had nowhere to vent because of the matter with Zheng Xiuyan, and the repeated provocations of the male duck made Lin Dong unbearable.
So, the foreigner once again learned what is called "Chinese kung fu", you know, his old man has really joined the army and been on the battlefield.
When Lin Dong and Rihanna came out of the gym, not to mention their faces, they didn't even have a little on their bodies, and Rihanna's adoring eyes couldn't be too red.
As for the other actor, he was finally carried out by two friends, and then went directly to the hospital, so you can imagine what the result of this so-called "showdown" is.
