Feng Nan frowned when she heard so many religious terms. She couldn't help but turn around and ask Zhao Junhan:
"Jun Han, what are they talking about?"
Zhao Junhan stared down at Feng Nan for a long time with a strange look in his eyes, which made Feng Nan feel a little creepy.
She is the daughter of the Feng family. It is said that she has been with Feng Zhongliang since she was a child and received an elite education. In addition to Mandarin and Cantonese, English should be the language she is most familiar with. Her school, from elementary school to high school, should all use pure English for teaching.
Even though some of the religious terms were unfamiliar, she might not be able to fully understand them, but why did Feng Nan act as if he knew nothing about the conversation between these people
The daughter of the Feng family was famous at the time. Even if she was not a talented woman, she should not be such a waste. Could it be that the reputation of her so-called beauty and intelligence that was spread outside was just compliments from others
"What are you looking at me for? Some of the words they talk about are unfamiliar."
Feng Nan felt a chill in his heart when Zhao Junhan looked at him like this. He knew that he was suspicious, and he couldn't help but get angry:
"Although I learned English since I was young, some words are unfamiliar to me. I majored in language and literature in college. Didn't you study abroad for a few years?"
She tried to remain calm at this time. After hearing what she said, Zhao Junhan's doubts were dispelled a lot, but he could also see that Feng Nan was indeed not very good at English.
He suddenly felt that this beauty was somewhat boring. Apart from a good family background and a fairly pleasing appearance, her vision and temperament were not worthy of her current status. Her actions and words were sometimes beyond his expectations. He began to doubt whether this marriage was arranged too quickly.
"She mentioned the holy objects in Christianity and the story of the Holy Grail."
Feng Nan knew nothing about Christianity and the Holy Grail, but she could see that Jiang Se was in the limelight at the moment.
She can't let this go on. Among the ten foreign judges, except for the Italian director Cesare who hasn't come in yet, almost all of them have already had a good chat with Jiang Se. If this goes on, even if the Best Supporting Actress award falls into her hands at this film festival, the benefits may be taken away by Jiang Se!
"What Holy Grail?"
Feng Nan couldn't help but ask again. Zhao Junhan was a little impatient. He held back his displeasure and relayed Jiang Se's words to Feng Nan:
"In the doctrine, it is said that this object is a cup used at the supper on the day before Jesus' crucifixion, and it was also used to hold his blood during the crucifixion."
He paused for a moment and listened to Jiang Se saying:
"In some current novels, some people have put forward a novel point of view."
Hill was completely fascinated by this topic. He discussed it with Jiang Se with great interest. When he heard what Jiang Se said, he hurriedly said:
"Oh? What's your opinion?"
"For thousands of years, because the Holy Grail has been missing, many writers have made derivative works based on it. They believed that when Jesus had the last supper with his disciples, he took bread and red wine and referred to them as his body and blood. Therefore, there is an interesting saying in some literary works that the Holy Grail is not necessarily a cup, but may be something else."
Feng Nan couldn't help herself after hearing what Zhao Junhan said. She smiled and said:
"Do you have any evidence?"
She spoke in Chinese, and several foreign judges did not understand what she said. Naturally, there was a translator nearby who relayed Feng Nan's words to these people.
Jiang Se glanced at Feng Nan:
"Dan Brown's novel mentioned this speculation, and the Italian novel "Prisoners" also mentioned this speculation. It is believed that the bread and red wine in the supper are the body and flesh of the Lord, and the so-called Holy Grail may also be the skull of Jesus."
She named several novels in a row, and Hill nodded frequently.
The fact that she could name novels that support her own theories and that she named several in a row proved that she had indeed done her homework and that she had read a wide range of works, and was not just being pretentious.
When Jiang Se mentioned "Prisoners", not only Hill, but also a middle-aged foreign man in a dark blue suit who had just come out from the backstage raised his head with a look of surprise on his face.
""prisoner"?"
When the middle-aged man came over, Hill turned around and greeted him:
"Cesare, you arrived just in time!"
When he called out the name 'Cesare', Feng Nan pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and placed them firmly on the sides of his legs, controlling his inner excitement.
Of course, she also recognized Cesare, the director who was deified three years later for filming "The Divine Redemption" and was rated as one of the top ten most influential and appealing directors in the world. He was standing in front of her, so close to her.
When the filming of "God's Redemption" began, many investors were not optimistic about the film, and he encountered obstacles everywhere. He finished the film under pressure. After the film was released, the global box office reached as much as 2 billion US dollars, breaking many records. Cesare himself also became a god-level director in the eyes of many people with this film, no doubt about it!
This time, Feng Nan insisted on filming "Rescue Operation" and participating in the film festival for him.
He looked to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, dressed elegantly and appropriately, had a thin build, and had deep facial features.
He looked elegant in a dark blue suit and was greeting Hill enthusiastically. It was obvious that they were friends before.
Hill was introducing Jiang Se. With Hill's enthusiastic introduction, Jiang Se successfully struck up a conversation with this young and promising director.
"I just heard the lady mention The Prisoner. Have you read this novel?"
Cesare had a smile in his eyes, and he was very gentlemanly when he hugged Jiang Se, but he quickly let go of his hand.
Among the materials collected this time, Cesare's information was the most abundant. Because of his identity as a director and Xia Chaoqun's unexpected attention to him, Century Galaxy paid special attention to him when collecting information.
For example, he likes wine, all his achievements, his educational information and family situation are very clear, but before this, Jiang Se did not know that this Italian director had also read the novel "Prisoners". This was really an unexpected surprise.
"Yes, I came across this novel by chance in the school library. It is very well written. The author uses the Renaissance as the background of the novel, uses religious metaphors to hide it, and uses the protagonist's experiences to drive the plot. It is an excellent work."
With every word Jiang Se said, Cesare's smile deepened. At the end of her speech, she spread her hands with some regret:
"Unfortunately, the English version I read was not the original Italian version. There must have been some omissions in the translation process." She paused, "I checked later and found that this novel has not been reprinted. After the first issue of the original version was sold out, it has never been published again. The original novel has become a treasured collection, and few people are buying it now." (To be continued)
