Chapter 51: The Adventures of Naples (Two Women, One Play)
Chen Fei took Laura and drove to the Naples Palace Square again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Sure enough, Monica stood in the most conspicuous position. Monica is tall and wears high heels, so she is particularly eye-catching, and Chen Fei also stopped the Audi car steadily, and the co-pilot's door was facing Monica. As for why Laura didn't sit in the passenger seat. This is really what Laura herself asked. After all, the person she wants to meet is her idol, and Laura obviously can't take the lead and steal Monica's place.
After Monica got in the car, she pointed out where Chen Fei was going, Chen Fei drove the car, shuttled through the streets and alleys of Naples, and after about 25 minutes, finally at the mouth of an inconspicuous alley, Monica asked Chen Fei to stop.
"The first place to turn right after this alley comes to the end is that the road that starts here is too narrow for cars to enter, so you can only park outside." Monica finally said where they were going to go.
"Sure enough, it's a 'winding path leading to a secluded place'!" Chen Fei sighed without prohibiting Chinese. At this time, the two daughters were inexplicable, and said in unison: "Chen, what are you talking about?" ”
The two daughters, who had a tacit understanding index of 100%, spoke almost at the same time, ended at the same time, and were stunned at the same time. glanced at each other, and actually snorted at the same time in tacit understanding, and then tacitly twisted their heads to the side and made a look of anger.
The synchronization of the two made Chen Fei quite helpless. One is a goddess-level actor in his heart, the other is his girlfriend, and the two living treasures are put together, Chen Fei suddenly feels like he has a meatloaf in a sandwich... He suddenly remembered an old Chinese saying: two women in one play... He sighed helplessly, but now he was the only one who could speak out to resolve the somewhat stalemate.
"Okay, both of you, get out of the car, I looked at the road, the car really can't get in, you all get off, I'm going to find a place to park, and then we'll walk in together."
When the second daughter heard Chen Fei's words, she was very cooperative and got out of the car. After Chen Fei parked the car, the three of them entered the alley and found the small restaurant that Monica said.
It was a rather low street frontage, and there was not much space inside. Aside from a small bar and a wall-mounted wine cabinet against the wall, there were only a dozen or so tables in the remaining space, all of which were small, the largest being a six-person table.
As a regular customer, Monica naturally took on the responsibility of greeting the boss: "Giancarlo, what are you doing?" Remember if I don't? ”
Hearing Monica's shout, the owner, Giancarlo, stepped out of the small door on the side of the bar, wearing an apron, and it seemed that the kitchen was behind him.
"Oh it's Monica", Giancarlo heard Monica's voice quite enthusiastically, "Yo, you brought a friend today?" Feel free to sit down! Tell you both, Monica is a regular visitor to my house and a good friend of ours! ”
"Yes! Monica is also full of praise for the delicious food of your family, and told me all the way in the car when she came, and said that your family has good food! Chen Fei was not wrong in saying this, Monica did almost blow Giancarlo's shop into the sky in the car.
"That's the Bolognese lasagna with Parmesan cheese made by Giancarlo, but it's the signature here!" Monica hastened to recommend.
"You girl, seven times out of ten, you've eaten that. Would you like to try it? Old man, I can't make the taste of a professional chef in a restaurant, I'm just a common person, make some home-cooked taste, please don't dislike it. Giancarlo was still quite enthusiastic about Chen Fei and Laura, the two new guests.
"Why, Monica recommends it, it must be great, let's try it all, let's have two Bologna lasagna + Parmesan cheese!" Laura spoke.
"Three copies!" Monica immediately answered.
"Okay, old man, I'll go and prepare, three of you wait, the lasagna will be sent to you when it's baked!" With that, Giancarlo turned around and went into the small kitchen and went to work.
When Giancarlo entered the kitchen, Laura and Monica struck up a conversation: "Monica, I think you're even more beautiful than in the movies!" It's true! ”
"Really? Thank you! Laura: Actually, you're a pretty girl, too! Monica replied politely.
"But," Laura paused deliberately, "if you dare to seduce Chen, I won't let you go!" Laura reminded Monica, half-jokingly, half-warningly. Monica is three years older than Chen Fei, so she naturally understands Laura's intentions as soon as she hears it. In fact, Laura's idea is also human, even animals have the nature to protect their territory and mates, why don't humans? Therefore, Monica smiled and replied lightly: No! The matter was lightly brushed aside.
But Monica decided to ask in more detail what Chen Fei said about the Italian film market: "Chen, why do you say that the Italian film market can't develop?" Don't we have the Venice Film Festival? And the Turin Film Festival that has only been there in recent years? Every time the festival is very popular, there are crowds everywhere, and Venice is almost full! Oh yes, what is the one you in China called? One.. Wood.. Didn't you just win the Golden Lion Award last year? ”
"Poof!" Chen Fei laughed, but he really didn't expect Monica to know that Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion Award in 1992 with "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"! "His name is Zhang Yimou! We are a very good director in China, I have also seen that movie, and it is a good shot! Believe me, within 10 years, he can still get another golden lion! Do you believe it or not? ”
"What ??!" Monica was so shocked that she couldn't speak, is Chen Fei arrogant or ignorant? Zhang Yimou is a small Chinese director, Chen Fei actually thinks he can challenge the only famous French director Louis Mahler who won the double golden lion?
"Hey, Chen, you don't have a fever, do you?" Laura also put the back of her hand on Chen Fei's forehead, and Chen Fei pushed Laura's hand away, "Laura, what are you doing?" I'm really fine! ”
"Monica, Laura, let's make a bet, dare?"
"How to bet?" The two of them spoke in unison, but they actually snorted and turned their heads away.
"For a period of 10 years, if Zhang Yimou does not win the second Golden Lion Award, you can casually give me a request that it is not illegal and does not damage the public image, and on the contrary, if Zhang Yimou wins the second Golden Lion Award, I will give you a request that it is not illegal and does not damage the public image, okay?"
"Okay, that's it!" The second daughter agreed to come down.
However, Monica's question was not answered just now, and Chen Fei continued: "What you just said is right, there are many people in our Italian film festival itself, but think about it yourself, how do Italian films perform at the festival?" Isn't it mainly American movies and French films that everyone is after? Who was the only one to take two golden lions? French! Now even we Chinese can come to get the Golden Lion, but how many times did the Italian director take it? Really, go to the United States and France to develop, don't stay in Italy, there is really no future, believe me! ”
Chen Fei laid out the facts and reasoned, which made Monica quite moved. Indeed, Italian films can only win awards at a major domestic film festival after more than ten years, let alone a film festival like Cannes. The awards of the Venice Film Festival and the Turin Film Festival, all kinds of crooked nuts are soft and woody!
And Chen Fei believes that the bet just now is actually a must-win game, because Zhang Yimou has really become the second director in the history of the Venice Film Festival and the first Chinese to win the Golden Lion twice! The time is 1999, and the work is naturally popular with the mountain village Wei girl's "No One is Missing". Oh yes, so far, there are only three people who can win two Golden Lions at the Venice Film Festival, two are Chinese, and the other is the famous director Ang Lee, who won the Golden Lion Award twice for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain". Even people like Gong Li, who became famous in Venice as an actor, later became a judge at the Venice Film Festival, which shows that the development of China's film industry still has a bit of a status in the world, of course, this is a digression.
I have to say that Monica was shocked by Chen Fei's methodical analysis. From this moment, she began to vaguely realize that maybe it was a mistake to stay in Italy to develop. In fact, now she realized the unbearable Italian film market earlier than later generations, and thus started another mythical journey of Monica, and even replaced the original popular heroine in a blockbuster James Cameron, making her reputation popular all over the world for a while.
After a while, Giancarlo walked out of the kitchen with three lasagna servings and served them to the three of them: "Well, this is what Monica likes to eat, Bologna lasagna + Parmesan cheese, I hope you two can like it too." ”
The fragrant lasagna is baked, and Monica can't stand it anymore. She immediately picked up the spoon in front of her (the dough of Bologna lasagna is very soft, usually only a spoon or fork is enough to eat, and it is a minced meat filling similar to beef fried sauce made of tomato puree), scooped up a large piece, and simply blew it, and she couldn't wait to send it to her mouth, even if her tongue was burned, she didn't care about eating: "Hmm... It's so delicious... It's still this smell! ”
Monica looks like Sven Wen, and this moment can be lost in front of the food. Without the extravagance of the past, Monica's appearance of a hungry tiger pounced on food made Chen Fei feel embarrassed, but another incident that happened around him made Chen Fei even more shocked.
I saw Laura, who was sitting on the side, actually slowly picked up the spoon, scooped a small piece, and put it into her mouth gently and quite preciously! Chen Fei was petrified in an instant: What's wrong? How come these two are suddenly different? Monica looks like Sven, how can she eat like this, and Laura's volcano-like personality can actually eat such a small jasper? What's the story? Did both girls take the wrong medicine??
However, since Chen Fei had only eaten half of his meal in the morning, it was almost 1 o'clock at noon, and Chen Fei was already hungry. So, he was still able to put it on the table, and he also scooped a large piece on the spoon and feasted on it.
I have to say that Giancarlo's craftsmanship is really good, and after a while, the three of them tacitly didn't say a word, and directly dried the noodles on the plate first.
"Well, I'm not wrong, right? Giancarlo's noodles are well done, you must like it! Monica still didn't forget to boast.
However, her boasting resonated with Chen Fei and Laura: "It's true, I can't put down the spoon after the first bite, you see, I ate every bit of minced meat!" Chen Fei showed his empty plate.
"I don't have anything left, huh!" Laura's plate was empty, too. The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and almost at the same time, they burst out laughing...
In this way, Laura met her idol Monica Bellucci. After lunch, Laura wanted to invite Monica to accompany her and Chen Fei to hang out in the city of Naples, but Monica politely refused. Laura is also a shrewd woman, and she is secretly glad to see that Monica did not agree. Although she is her idol, if she wants to compete with herself for a man, Monica may have to weigh it, and Monica knows Laura's strength and her status in Chen Fei's heart, and she doesn't have any intention of being a light bulb.
Although Chen Fei doesn't understand this little bit between women, the concubine has no intention, which does not mean that Lang is ruthless. Chen Fei is by no means a girl like Monica, Chen Fei said that he is not possessive, it is absolutely false and can no longer be fake, unless Chen Fei admits that he is an undefeated Dongfang. Of course, this point also brought some trouble to Chen Fei later, after all, sometimes, once the thing under the man swells up, it doesn't mean that it can be controlled...
It's just that this will, out of reason, Chen Fei will not easily let Monica accompany him. However, Chen Fei still asked Monica about the number of tickets she needed, and promised that she would deliver them in full. The three of them are like this, each with their own thoughts, a little weird, separated...
