tearjerker director

Chapter 565 The Magical Fate

Jill Toledo probably has a true love for movies.

His "Beautiful Love in Sicily" was purely for fun. Although the crew he hired were all "professionals", in fact, they were all for his money.

Anyway, Jill Toledo is generous enough, and the filming is a bit of a mess, so they think they are taking paid leave for themselves.

In fact, Jill Toledo is not really being taken advantage of. He just wants to become a director. Unfortunately, the director is not the kind who really sits behind the monitor and shouts.

Fortunately, Jill Toledo's net worth is rich enough, so he has invested tens of millions of euros, that is, sprinkling water.

But meeting Li Yi gave Jill Toledo a new idea.

Jill Toledo knows how awesome Li Yi is.

Oscar's best picture, Jill Toledo was mesmerized by watching "The Truman Show".

Not only that, at the Cannes Film Festival later, Li Yi took off the Palme d'Or double egg yolks, and Jill Toledo checked Li Yi's information and was even more shocked.

He didn't expect Li Yi to have such a big influence in China, and the key point is that he made so many movies.

It turned out that each one was well-received and well-received.

Although he doesn't have much talent, it's rare to meet Li Yi, a film master. Yes, in Gil Toledo's eyes, Li Yi is a master director.

Of course you can't miss it!

Therefore, Jill Toledo directly gave the crew a few days off. Anyway, this is just something he made out of his spare time.

As for making movies?
He was full of confidence at the beginning, but after the first day of shooting, he was dumbfounded.

Obviously they all make movies like that, but why is Mao himself making shit?
This made him understand that as a director, it's so f*cking not to just stand behind the monitor and call start and stop.

Li Yi and Xu Nannan did not refuse Gil Toledo's invitation.

Gil Toledo really put his heart into it. That night, he specially invited the best chef in the town to cook for Li Yi and Xu Nannan. The specialties of Sicily made Li Yi and Xu Nannan taste the real Local cuisine.

Li Yi finally couldn't help asking his doubts.

"That Paradise Cinema looks very old, is it still open?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Hearing Li Yi's question, Gil Toledo couldn't help laughing, but then shook his head and said, "NO, NO, NO!"

"That Paradise Cinema has long been abandoned. There are modern and more luxurious cinemas in Palermo." Jill Toledo shook his head and said.

"Actually, Paradise Cinema was originally an industry run by my grandfather. I heard from my grandfather that Paradise Cinema was the only entertainment place in this town decades ago. At that time, Paradise Cinema was very lively. When movies were shown, there was always It can be filled to the brim.

In the 40s, all movies had to be strictly checked by the priests of the church before they could be screened. They would cut out the "sexy" scenes that they thought were inappropriate, so whenever there were inappropriate scenes on the screen, the priest would tell the audience Ring the bell at the table.Sometimes, when the audience finds that the kissing scene has been deleted, they will boo and even spit, and when the audience sees the extremely sensational scene, they will cry again. Every time the movie is shown, the cinema is always full of excitement.

However, with the advent of television, Paradise Cinema was no longer as lively as it used to be. At that time, my grandfather also chose to close the cinema and go outside the town to make a living.”

"Actually, the Paradise Cinema was going to be converted into a parking lot several times, but it was stopped by the grandfather who came back at that time. However, although the Paradise Cinema has been preserved, it has always been abandoned, although some old movies are occasionally shown in it. , but very few people went to see it.”

"After my grandfather passed away, Paradise Cinema became the oldest building in the town. At that time, many people in the town left the town, so Paradise Cinema was kept."

"Actually, the story of "Beautiful Love in Sicily" is the story of my grandfather," Gil Toledo said.

Li Yi did not expect that this Paradise Cinema actually had so many similarities with the one in "Paradise Cinema".

This moved him even more.

At the beginning, "Paradise Cinema" was shelved not so much because of Chen Jianghe, but because Li Yi always felt that if the movie was changed to the background of Huaguo, it would lose its original essence and taste.

After all, every country and every place has a different cultural background.

"Paradise Cinema" tells about the changes in Sicily, Italy, and there is always a huge difference between the background here and the country.

So it ended up being shelved.

Because Li Yi didn't want the "Paradise Cinema" he made to become mediocre and lose its original essence and flavor.

But what if the movie was made in this small town?
In fact, "Paradise Cinema" is not a complicated movie. On the contrary, this movie is actually just a low-cost drama.

Eighty percent of the place where the story takes place is in the small town, in and out of the movie theater.

Of course, even if "Cinema Paradise" is only a low-budget film, such a film is still not so easy to shoot.

At this moment, Jill Toledo suddenly asked: "Li, I'm curious, why did you travel here?"

"I mean, there are many tourist attractions in Sicily, but why did you come to the small town of Cefalu? After all, there are no particularly famous attractions here." Gil Toledo asked curiously.

After all, Li Yi is not from Sicily, let alone Italian, and Sicily is quite big in general, and generally speaking, the small town of Cefalu is actually very inconspicuous in Sicily, and there are no scenic spots here The historic site is just an ordinary town that can no longer be ordinary.

Usually tourists don't come here on purpose.

That's why he was very curious about why Li Yi appeared here.

For him, this is his hometown, but for Li Yi, this is nothing!
"Because of Paradise Cinema!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Paradise Cinema?" Jill Toledo looked puzzled.

Paradise Cinema may be a very special place to his grandfather, and it may also be to many old people in this town, but how did Li Yi know Paradise Cinema?
This made Gil Toledo even more curious.

At the same time, he was faintly excited. Li Yi came for the Paradise Cinema. Could it be related to the movie?

If so, great!
