Volume 1 Chapter 188 Goodbye Knightley
When the first round of Serie A began, the famous Venice International Film Festival also kicked off.
The International Film Festival held in Venice, Italy from August to September is known as one of the three major international film festivals in the world, along with the Cannes International Film Festival in France and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, with the highest award being the Golden Lion. Founded in 19 years, the Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world, the first international film festival in the world, and is known as the "father of international film festivals".
In addition to award-winning and invited celebrity directors, many celebrity supermodel directors who have also come to Venice for sightseeing and catwalk have also come to Venice.
Of course, the world's attention was won by Javier Bardem for Best Actor and Imelda Staunton for Best Actress, but the most popular fans off the screen were the hot girls Victoria and Kayla. Knightley's pair of English roses.
Victoria is not only concerned about her own personal fame, but also because her husband is Real Madrid midfield superstar David Beckham, and in the football kingdom of Italy, the star has even more influence than the movie star.
And 19-year-old Kayla. Knightley has attracted attention because of her strong upward momentum in the last year, the year before last, she starred in "I Love Beckham" in the football desert America, and last year, Knightley played the wild lady in "Pirates of the Caribbean" to fame, and she did not win the best newcomer at the Venice Film Festival, which made many Knightley fans very unconvinced.
Kayla. Knightley didn't leave immediately after the Venice Film Festival, she still had a commercial to shoot here, after the Venice Film Festival, Kayla. Knightley was already feeling a little tired, if it weren't for her mother's agent, who said that the owner of the commercial was very famous and high-status, had a lot of influence in Italy, and could not be easily offended, and she was also partnered with the famous French actress Deneve and the Scottish superstar Sean. Connery, she really wanted to push this commercial.
"I'm going to get out of the city and go for a walk."
At the gorgeous palace-like six-star Pazzola Hotel, Kayla, who had already lived in trouble, told her agent, Catherine, who was in her thirties.
"Then you take Max with you." 、
Catherine, the agent, is sorting Knightley's clothes, and tomorrow they will leave Venice for London after filming the commercial, and will return to the United States after two days.
"I don't take Max, he's so tall and stupid, I take him with me, and he'll be the center of attention wherever he goes."
"No, a girl like you would be the focus of attention without Max." Catherine flatly refused, last time Kayla. Knightley secretly left England to go to Portugal to watch the European Cup and almost had an accident, listening to Max, it was two Chinese young people who were with her, so that she was severely criticized by Knightley's mother Sharman, and now Catherine no longer dares to let this look very well-behaved and educated, but in fact wild and untamable! The girl went out alone.
"No, I'm going to go out, if you don't let me go out, I'll have to go too."
"I'll call your mother, Lady Sharman, if she agrees." Catherine took out her cell phone to call Mrs. Sharman.
"Aunt Catherine, do you know that my mother will definitely not let me go out alone, and you still say so, you just let me go out, I'll be back in an hour, definitely." Knightley looked like a changeable elf to see that a tough attitude was not good, and immediately turned her face into a pitiful look.
"No, Miss, it's really not, if anything happens to you, I can't afford to be responsible." Catherine didn't eat hard and soft, and it was because of this that Mrs. Saman was relieved to take Kayla. Knightley gave her to take care of it.
Kayla. Knightley saw that Catherine was soft and hard, her eyes rolled, she thought about it, and lay down on the bed, "Okay, no, Aunt Catherine, I want to sleep for a while, I'm a little sleepy." ”
Catherine was a little suspicious to see how easily Knightley was convinced, but it was a good thing that Knightley didn't come out, she and Max were watching, and it was up to her to do what she wanted in the bedroom.
Ten minutes later, a maid walked into Knightley's room with a cup of coffee and a plate of fruit, and the maid stayed in Knightley's room for two or three minutes before leaving, but this did not attract the attention of Catherine and Max, who had been whimsical since childhood, and Catherine and Max did not find anything strange.
After the maid walked out of the floor where Knightley's bedroom was located, she suddenly quickened her steps and walked quickly towards the outside of the hotel.
Out of the door of the hotel, the maid who had been keeping her head down suddenly raised her head, revealing a charming face, it turned out to be Knightley, she waved at the hotel, "Aunt Catherine, see you again." ”
With that, Knightley trotted merrily to St. Mark's Square, not far from the hotel, where she had just paid a hundred euros for the girl for an hour, and when Aunt Catherine found out, she would be able to play outside for at least two hours.
St. Mark's Square and St. Mark's Basilica are among the most famous monuments in Venice. The total area of St. Mark's Square is about 10,000 square meters, which is trapezoidal. Their beautiful and harmonious shapes, vivid and realistic stone carvings, are rare masterpieces in ancient Roman architecture. The south, north and west sides of the square are surrounded by magnificent palace buildings. To the east stands the high 98. St. Mark's bell tower and St. Mark's Church, which combines Eastern and Western architecture. To the west are the Doge's Palace and the Library of San Marco. The opulent and splendid Doge's Palace, made of pink and white marble, was the residence of the head of state of Venice and the seat of the Great Council and Government.
"What a beautiful Doge's Palace, Pirates of the Caribbean should be filming here."
Knightley looked up at the Doge's Mansion in the golden afternoon sun, her face intoxicated.
"Hi Hi Kayla, I didn't expect to run into you here."
A somewhat lame and unfamiliar English disturbed Knightley's admiring Yaxing, Knightley turned her face a little displeased, and was about to slap her head and face to count down this short-eyed guy, but she was surprised to find that in front of her stood the Chinese young man who had fought with her.
"It's you." Knightley said in surprise.
Chen Yu smiled gently, "It's me." I didn't expect to meet here again. “
Knightley said, "Didn't you play in Fiorentina, how could you be here?" “
Chen Yu smiled: "Aren't you British? How did it end up here? “
Knightley turned her face away, "If you don't want to answer, pull it down, everyone who knows me knows that I'm here for you." “
What a proud little girl, Chen Yu smiled, "You're here to participate in the film festival, I'm here to participate in an advertising event of the boss's company." ”
Knightley snorted, "You're playing in Italy, do you know what's going on here?" ”
Chen Yu smiled and said: "You really ask a coincidence, I have played a game here, and I am quite familiar, five hundred times in the past life can be exchanged for a passing in this life, and now we have met twice, and we have fought together, I will be a free tour guide for you." ”
Knightley said: "Five hundred glances back in the past life can be exchanged for passing by in this life, this sentence is so good, did you say it?" ”
Chen Yu said with a smile: "This is what a poet in our country said, I don't have that ability." ”
Knightley said, "Very beautiful verse, is that all?" ”
"There are a few other very nice sentences, let me think about it, well, it seems that I still remember that five hundred times of looking back in the past life was exchanged for a passing in this life. 500 times in the past life passed by, in exchange for an encounter in this life. 500 encounters in the past life in exchange for an acquaintance in this life. 500 acquaintances in the past life in exchange for one acquaintance in this life. 500 times of acquaintance in the past life, in exchange for a love in this life. ”
"It's great, it looks like it's not easy for us to meet twice."
Knightley sighed, looked at Chen Yu, and found that Chen Yu's face was melancholy, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you, what's the sadness that touches you?"
"Nothing." Chen Yu wanted to smile very much, but he really couldn't get sunny, because he wrote down such a sour poem in order to coax his ex-girlfriend Lin Hong, and now his girlfriend has become an ex-girlfriend, and she is working in a foreign country far away.
Knightley knew that Chen Yuyan was insincere, but the two were only one side of the story, and she didn't want to explore the secrets of other people's hearts, so she said: "I didn't expect that your Chinese poems are also very beautiful, beautiful like songs, such poems must have a poignant love story." ”
Chen Yu nodded and said, "Yes, there is a very poignant story. ”
Knightley said, "Tell me about it." ”
Chen Yu looked at the pedestrians around him and said, "The atmosphere here is not suitable for listening to such a poignant story, let's go to the Bridge of Sighs over there, and I'll tell you."
"Bridge of Sighs? I've heard that it seems that death row inmates have to cross an airtight bridge when they walk to the execution ground, and it's getting late, forget it, let's go next time. Nervous that it was too late, Knightley was approached by Catherine to tell her mother.
Chen Yu said: "In fact, this bridge also has a very poignant story, and a movie "Love Sunset Bridge" was filmed here. ”
"I've seen the movie "Love Sunset Bridge", but I didn't expect it to be filmed here? Tell me the story of this Bridge of Sighs. ”
Knightley was still a 19-year-old girl, and she was easily aroused by Chen Yu's curiosity.
"Once upon a time, Venice was an independent water kingdom, with a satrap running the country. There was a man who had been sentenced to death and walked across the bridge. "Look at the last glance," said the jailer, telling the man to stop at the window. The window lattices are exquisitely carved and are made up of many eight-petal chrysanthemums. The man climbed the lattice and looked down and saw a long, narrow gondola boat sailing under the bridge, and a man and a woman were sitting on the boat, kissing. And that woman turned out to be the woman he loved the most. In a fit of rage, the man frantically crashed into the window and fell through the window onto the boat, where he was rescued by his disguised girlfriend and friends. Later, the story was deduced into a legend that at sunset, lovers kissing under the Bridge of Sighs can get eternal love. ”
Chen Yu didn't want to spoil Knightley's mood of looking at the scenery, so he changed the ending of the story at will.
Knightley was very happy to hear this, and said, "It's beautiful, let's go and have a look." ”
