098 [St. Peter's Basilica] Ask for a ticket

The Pantheon is circular in shape, the walls and dome are made of concrete made of volcanic ash, very hard and solid, and the decoration of the period is very Olympian, and the inner surface of the dome is made of 28 recesses, divided into 5 rows.

At the same time, there were seven alcoves on the wall with doors on the wall, and these shrines were originally filled with statues of the gods and the king of unified Italy, Victor Emmanuel II.

Li Yange visited the circle and had a general understanding of the Pantheon, whether it was the towering dome or the statue of the god in the recess, which made people appreciate the exotic style at the same time, it was also full of mystery.

In particular, Ning Ying explained some of the history and local legends about the Pantheon on the side, and the tour experience skyrocketed.

Walking out of the Pantheon, Li Yange smiled and said: "Sister Ning, I think you can be a tour guide, whether it is eloquence or knowledge, it is all easy to come by." ”

Ning Ying shook his head: "It's okay to be a tour guide, I also know a little bit about the Pantheon, I've been here with my friends before, and I still heard what my friend said." ”

"Haha, too, Sister Ning is destined to be a great director, how can she come to be a tour guide."

The two have been together for a few months, and the relationship is very good, a bit of a sister and brother, and Li Yange's speech is not as restrained as before.

"You kid really wants to fight!"

Ning Ying glared at him, and looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock, and it was still early to go back to the hotel for lunch, but fortunately, he took the two of them to St. Peter's Basilica for a visit.

For this world-famous church, Li Yange naturally heard of it, "St. Peter's Basilica? Isn't that in the Vatican? Can we go? ”

"Of course you can go, the Vatican is in the northwest corner of Rome, and tourists are not forbidden to visit there, but when you go there, it's better not to say anything about the sect, there are not only tourists, but also many devout believers."

Ning Ying reminded the two of them, for fear that they would mumble something that shouldn't be said after they passed.

Half an hour later.

Li Yange and the three of them walked into the Vatican, a country of only 0.44 square kilometers

As the smallest country in the world, it has a permanent population of less than 1,000 people, but if you count the ridiculous "Duchy of Sealand" in the United Kingdom, the Vatican's 1,000 people is considered a "big country".

Walking into St. Peter's Basilica, everything around you is very new, and you can see tourists everywhere, holding small crosses in their hands, and pious eyes, as if they are the most faithful believers of the Lord.

"This is St. Peter's Basilica!" Ryuichi Sakamoto looked at the majestic church in front of him, and his heart was very shocked, although he had seen the photos before, but when he came here, the high roof and the exquisite carved frescoes all showed the style of the world's largest cathedral.

"It's... It's gorgeous! ”

Li Yange also walked into and admired the interior of the church for the first time, and everything here can only be described as gorgeous.

The white marble pillars with light patterns in the corridors are delicately carved, and the vaults are filled with statues of human figures, and the entire tawny top is covered with three-dimensional patterns and patterns.

The tall stone pillars and walls, the vaulted roof of the temple are full of colorful patterns, lifelike statues, exquisite and detailed reliefs, and the colorful marble paved floors are shining, and the decoration is so gorgeous that it is breathtakingly luxurious.

After walking for a while, Li Yange stood on the porch, looking at an oil painting hanging on the wall, the figure on the painting was very peculiar, an old man with a white beard, holding a golden key in his left hand, holding a red book in his right hand, and a halo could be vaguely seen above his head.

There is a string of text below, not in English, Li Yange can't understand it, and when she was about to ask Ning Ying, she found that she and Ryuichi Sakamoto were not behind her, and she didn't know where to go.

"Do you know this painting?"

A voice came from behind her, Li Yange looked back, and saw a black-haired girl walking over, she looked at the portrait, then looked at Li Yange, thought for a while and said, "Do you know English?" ”

"Will say a little."

Li Yange squinted slightly and looked at this black-haired girl, her figure was very tall, she was almost one meter seven when she wore flat shoes, the most outstanding thing was her facial features, a standard goose egg face, and a pair of big watery eyes under the two curved willow eyebrows, with a hint of classicism in the exquisiteness, he always felt a little familiar.

"Do you know what this painting is called?"

"I don't know, it's my first time here."

"Well, I saw that you had been looking at this painting here for a long time, and I thought you knew what the name of this painting was." The dark-haired girl spoke in a somewhat lost tone, and after saying that, she turned and walked away.

Li Yange looked at the girl's back and pondered for a few seconds, and then was stunned, it was her!

"Yan Ge!"

Suddenly, Ning Ying hurriedly walked over from not far away, and when she saw Li Yange who was still standing on the porch, she said with a displeased face: "Why don't you follow, what if you get lost." ”

"I'm sorry Sister Ning, I was looking at this painting just now, and I was a little fascinated." Li Yange pointed apologetically to the painting on the wall.

"Okay, it's just a painting, there's a lot more over there, keep up and don't get lost."

Compared with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ning Ying is most worried about Li Yange getting lost, after all, it is the first time to go abroad, although he can speak some English, but English is not the mainstream language in Italy.

After a brief visit to St. Peter's Basilica, the two left the Vatican and took the bus back to the hotel for lunch.

After eating and drinking, and having no intention of going out to play, Li Yange stayed in the room alone until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ning Ying knocked on the door to inform him that the director was back.

The group went to the director's room and were informed that they would go to the company's studio tomorrow morning for post-production of the film, and at the same time, they also needed to finish the soundtrack.

Bertolucci said: "Byrne, Sakamoto, Lee, I hope the three of you can produce the post-production soundtrack of the film as soon as possible, and if you have any needs, feel free to tell Ning, she will take care of this matter." ”

"No problem." They looked at each other and spoke in unison.

…………

It was past nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

Ning Ying took Li Yange, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and David Byrne into the production department of Yanke Film Company, which has a lot of professional equipment, and there is no shortage of handsome actors and actresses.

As one of the well-known Italian film companies, Yanco has a big boss behind it from Hollywood.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the revival of Italian cinema in 1976, when the Italian economy was sluggish, and it was difficult to support film companies in the local market alone, so they had to export films.

At present, the largest film market is none other than North America, but the Hollywood gang is very xenophobic, and the Italians have no choice but to agree to Hollywood's request to take a stake in the film company.

As a result, there are about 150 film companies in the country, and 60% of the films are made with money provided by Hollywood monopolies, so it is not uncommon to see American actors in Italian films.

"Yan Ge, you guys are working here, tell me what you need." Ning Ying took Li Yange and her party to the recording studio, where the equipment is very complete, with related musical instruments and electronic music.

"Okay, Sister Ning, there's nothing you need, everything that needs to be done in China has been done, and now it's time to do post-production."

Most of the soundtrack in the film has been completed in China, and at present, Li Yange, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne only need to carry out the post-production and recording of the music, and then meet the editor to cooperate well, and edit according to the movie screen and plot.
