Chapter 416 Don't Lie To Me

When Yu Dong and the others received the news that Mo Yan's resignation application was approved, they had already been in Rome for two days.

In the past two days, they did not go to the set, but accompanied by Giuseppe and Tim Rose, they walked around Rome.

In fact, Tim Ross also came to Rome for the first time, but he didn't seem to be interested in the scenery of the city. Although he accompanied Yu Dong and the others, he rarely spoke.

Yu Dong was quite puzzled at first, because when he was still in Paris, Giuseppe called and told him that the filming of the Rome scene was about to start, but after they came, they encountered the production crew on vacation.

After inquiring later, I found out that the reason for the holiday was because Giuseppe had a quarrel with Tim.

These two people are not very good-tempered, and they don't understand the language. When they were in Ukraine, they often had conflicts and cold wars, and no one cared about the other.

The next afternoon, Yu Dong and the others arrived next to the "Girl's Fountain".

Because of the movie "Roman Holiday", the "Fountain of Girls" is very popular among tourists. Many people gather around the fountain waiting to throw coins into it, or watch others throw coins into it.

Cheng Yanqiu and his family members are very interested in this wishing pool.

On the way here, they also said that things like making wishes are meaningless and nothing fun, but when they arrived at the place, the three women, one down, all threw coins into the wishing well.

Yu Dong and the others were watching from the sidelines.

Compared with the wish itself, they pay more attention to the culture of throwing coins into the wishing well.

When Yu Hua and the others were exchanging Roman culture with Giuseppe, Yu Dong looked at Tim Ross next to him: "Have you been in touch with Quentin recently?"

Tim Roth is an old acquaintance with Quentin. He is a Londoner. After ten years of acting in the UK, he went to the United States to develop. Then he met Quentin, and participated in "Reservoir Dogs", and later also participated in " pulp Fiction".

Therefore, Quentin played a great role in the development of Tim Ross in the United States.

"No contact recently, I've been learning the piano." Tim Rose shook his head, and then asked curiously, "Do you know Quentin?"

Yu Dong nodded: "Of course, we know each other very well."

"Oh, you probably met at the Oscars that year, when you and he both attended."

"You remember all of this." Yu Dong smiled.

"Well, when Spielberg was filming "Second World" before, I tried to participate in it, but I failed in the end." Tim Roth said with some regret: "In order to participate, I read the original novel five or six times. all over."

"That's a pity." Yu Dong nodded.

Tim Roth said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after a few years, we would still cooperate in this way. This script is so attractive to me, otherwise I guess I would never come to Rome in my life."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Dong again, hesitant to speak.

"Do you have any questions?" Yu Dong asked.

Tim Roth thought for a while and said, "I heard Giuseppe say that if it wasn't for your recommendation, he wouldn't have chosen me to play 1900 at all. Is that true?"

Yu Dong froze.

Where did this come from?

Regarding casting, Yu Dong did make some comments, but he didn't say too much. It was mainly decided by Giuseppe.

And in the previous life, "The Pianist on the Sea" was performed by Tim Rose, so there was no influence from him.

"He really said that?"

Tim Rose nodded seriously: "Yes, when we were in Ukraine a few days ago, we had a quarrel over something, and he said something like this."

Yu Dong laughed: "You should also take seriously what you said during the quarrel. The choice of you as the protagonist was decided by Giuseppe, and it has nothing to do with me. I think the reason why he said this to you is to annoy you. Now look Come, his purpose has been achieved."

"Is that so?"

Yu Dong shrugged: "Otherwise, do you think that according to his character, I can influence him casually?"

"But you are YU..." Tim Roth shook his head and smiled halfway through the speech: "According to his character, I'm afraid even you can't easily influence his decision. He is the most stubborn director I have ever seen."

"So he can always shoot good works."

Yu Dong smiled, but Giuseppe was not the only one who was stubborn.

Don't look at Tim Rose talking and laughing at the moment, in fact, his temper is not weaker than Giuseppe's at all.

An ordinary actor would not dare to complain about Giuseppe like this.

According to the information obtained by Yu Dong, when they were in Ukraine, the two quarreled basically every day, and their posture was not small at all, and they were almost about to fight.

Yu Dong looked at the bodies of the two of them. If they really did it, Tim Ross should have the upper hand. Although they were about the same size and not tall, Tim Ross seemed to have more fighting power.

Probably after hearing Yu Dong's words, Tim Rose looked at Giuseppe not far away, who was chatting with Yu Hua and the others with an interpreter.

Tim Ross squinted his eyes with an inscrutable look.

This look reminded Yu Dong of a TV series called "Don't Lie to Me" starring Tim Roth. In this TV series, he often looked at others with this look.

Yu Dong had an acupoint in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Tim, have you ever understood micro-expressions?"

"Ah?" Tim Ross was staring at Giuseppe, obviously not understanding Yu Dong's words, "Excuse me, what did you say?"

"I'm asking, have you ever understood micro-expressions?"

"No." Tim Ross shook his head in surprise, he didn't understand why Yu Dong mentioned this suddenly.

"I heard from Giuseppe that you practiced the piano for half a year for this movie?"

Tim Rose's two eyebrows were raised up, with wrinkles on his forehead. Yu Dong's topic jumped too fast, and he couldn't keep up.

"Yes, I have practiced for half a year, but I started too late, and the effect is mediocre."

"Don't be too modest, but Giuseppe told me that you practiced the piano very well."

"Really?" Tim Rose looked at Giuseppe again: "It's not easy to hear words of praise from him."

"Giuseppe is a very good director, and he will also be a very good friend. Let's get along well." Yu Dong said with a smile, "Also, maybe you can pay more attention to the micro-expressions in the future."

"for……"

When Tim Ross was about to ask Yu Dong why, Giuseppe, Yu Hua and the others walked over and said that they were going to the next place.

What was to be said was interrupted, and Tim Ross didn't say anything.

However, what Yu Dong said before also played a role. On the way to St. Peter's Basilica, Tim Rose took the initiative to talk to Giuseppe. It seemed that the atmosphere between the two was pretty good. Much better.
