Chapter 564 The Rich and Willful Movie Fan in Sicily
Why so ecstatic about "Cinema Paradiso"?
Because the cinema, that small town, and that first love in "Paradise Cinema" can be said to be everyone's childhood, everyone's hometown, and everyone's first love.You will always find your own shadow unintentionally, about youth, about love, about dreams.

For Li Yi, although the movie was put on hold, he never forgot the movie, the scenes in the movie.

However, what surprised Li Yi even more was that this dilapidated "Paradise Cinema" was very similar to the movie theater in the movie "Paradise Cinema" that he remembered.

But what is even more surprising is that there are actually people making movies here!
That's right, Li Yi and Xu Nannan actually met a filming crew in this small town, in this old movie theater.

Li Yi was even more surprised. Does anyone in this world know about the movie "Paradise Cinema"?
What's interesting is that the crew filming here did not stop tourists from watching.

Probably because there are not many people in this small town, and people who travel to Sicily may not come here.

Therefore, there are really not many people.

However, after just watching for a while, Li Yi burst out laughing.

Because the director who made the movie was obviously lame, and the actors who played the movie were also a little baffling.

Although I don't understand Italian, as a director, sometimes I don't need to know the lines at all. I can understand what plot is being filmed through my looks, expressions, movements, etc.

The scene they were watching was probably about a couple watching a movie, but what made Li Yi dumbfounded was that the couple watching the movie kept chattering.

People around are also talking, no one is really watching the movie.

The director is a young man, sitting behind the monitor, watching with relish.

"CUT!" Finally the director stopped the shooting.

"Let's go!" Li Yi said to Xu Nannan.

At this moment, a voice suddenly made Li Yi and Xu Nannan stop in astonishment.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Li Yi and Xu Nannan looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out that the young director was walking towards them excitedly.

"Are you calling us?" Li Yi and Xu Nannan were a little puzzled, and finally Li Yi asked in English.

"Yes, Li, you are Li, right? The magical director from Huaguo, Yi Li?" The young man looked at Li Yi excitedly, making Li Yi feel like meeting a movie fan.

"You know me?" Li Yi was really surprised.

After all, he is a director, and he is a native of China. Chinese people are somewhat face-blind to foreigners, especially Western faces, and most of the same foreigners are also a little face-blind to Asians.

What's more, Li Yi is not a particularly recognizable star, he is a director and a behind-the-scenes worker.

Therefore, he was really surprised that the other party could easily call out his name.

"Yay! Of course I know you, Oscar Best Picture, Cannes Palme d'Or, "The Truman Show" and "Suyuan"! Especially "The Truman Show" is just amazing! My God, I can see you in Sicily It's unbelievable to see you." The young director said excitedly.

Li Yi and Xu Nannan looked at each other.

However, Li Yi was more astonished, while Xu Nannan was more proud!
"Sorry, I don't seem to have seen you before." Li Yi shook his head and said apologetically.

"Of course, I'm just the audience, and you are the focus!" said the young Italian director.

"My name is Jill Toledo, and I am a movie lover! I am also a fan of your movie!" Jill Toledo introduced himself.

"Aren't you the director?" Li Yi asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, I'm trying to be a director!" Jill Toledo said.

"But I found out that it's too difficult! Li, it must be God's arrangement that you can appear here. God, I'm so happy. Li, can you direct my movie?"

"Of course, I know it's presumptuous, but please!" Jill Toledo looked at Li Yi's surprised expression and couldn't help scratching his head.

"Why don't you help him take a look?" Xu Nannan found it very interesting.

After all, such things are really rare.

And it's fun isn't it?

"Okay, can I read the script?" Li Yi was actually quite curious about what Gil Toledo was filming.

"Thank you, Li! Here is the script." Jill Toledo took out a thin script and handed it to Li Yi.

It's just a pity that the above are all Italian, they don't know Li Yi, and Li Yi doesn't know them at all.

"Sorry, I don't understand Italian."

Li Yi shook his head dumbfoundedly.

"Sorry, sorry!" Jill Toledo was also a little embarrassed.

Then he briefly described his movie story to Li Yi.

The story is very simple. In Sicily, Italy, a pair of childhood sweethearts met and fell in love in a movie theater. Unfortunately, they went their separate ways when they grew up.

A clichéd story can't get any more clichéd.

And even though Li Yi couldn't understand Italian, the script for a movie was only a few pages, so it felt like a joke anyway.

Li Yi couldn't help shaking his head.

However, he still patiently helped Gil Toledo direct a scene.

Li Yi completely deviated from the script and directly shut up the ordinary audience in the theater, while he played a movie clip of a couple's dialogue, and then directly asked the hero and heroine to follow the dialogue of the hero and heroine in the imitation movie.

The so-called expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a shot. Although the filming is not based on the story of Gil Toledo, but this alone can already make the picture shot, which is really like the picture of a movie, not the picture of Toledo before. I don't know what the hell that crappy thing was filmed!
This also made Jill Toledo very excited.

After that, Jill Toledo also invited Li Yi and Xu Nannan to visit his home.

Yes, Jill Toledo is from this town.

He is not a director, but he grew up here. Although he went to the United States with his parents, he never forgets his hometown of Sicily.

Jill Toledo is a rich second generation, and he is not a director himself. He loves movies purely out of love.

And a bad movie called "Beautiful Love in Sicily" is also the product of his whim.

The people in these crews are all professionals hired by him with a high salary, but an amateur director like him can't be regarded as a director, so naturally there is no need to expect any well-known actors to be willing to play.

These actors are not passers-by, they are all unknown actors from Italy.

As for the extras (cinema audiences), they are all local residents.

To put it simply, Jill Toledo is a rich and self-willed rich second-generation movie fan.
