Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Trevi Fountain is located at the intersection of three streets in Rome. It is actually just a large and well-known fountain. As for its popularity, it only became known to the world after the movie "Roman Holiday" became popular around the world. After all, "Rome"  Many scenes in "Holiday" were shot here.  As the most famous fountain in the world, you can imagine the number of tourists it faces every day. Almost every day, there are crowds of people around the fountain, including photographers, sculptors, directors, architects, painters, etc.  Of course, the most popular ones are young couples. The reason why this fountain is called the Wishing Pool is because of the beautiful legend of tossing a coin to make a wish. It is said that as long as a couple tosses a coin to the Poseidon statue in the center of the pool to make a wish,  Their love will last forever.  Among the crowded crowd, Zhang Yi and Ximen Muxue each tossed a coin facing the Poseidon in the center of the pool, and only opened their eyes after making their wishes.  Although Zhang Yi disdains and even despises the lie of tossing a coin to make a wish, he has to admit that it has a hidden charm that seduce people's curiosity and pursuit, just like the beliefs of various local religions.  Swiss tarot cards, ancient Greek horoscopes, etc., these are lies that everyone knows, but these people have to believe this lie, because this lie is beautiful.  It is this kind of hidden spiritual charm that makes so many people pursue it crazily. Ximen Muxue is just a woman, she just knows the world better than other ordinary women. The reason why she wants to come to the wishing pool to make a wish, and  She doesn't necessarily like this kind of charm, she just likes the romance of making a wish with Zhang Yi, which is something that any couple can experience.  Zhang Yi opened his eyes and looked at the statue of Poseidon, the god of the sea, being pulled by two horses in the middle of the wishing pool. For a man, it is a symbol of strength, the kind of peerless figure that was used on the battlefields of ancient Rome.  "Why are you so dazed? What are you thinking about?" At this time, Ximen Muxue, who opened his eyes, saw Zhang Yi staring at the Poseidon statue intently, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, and said with a sweet smile: "Hey, you promised  What is your wish? "Guess?  "Zhang Yi suddenly lost his temper and laughed mysteriously. "Tsk, how do I know.  Ximen Muxue curled her lips and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I don't want to know anyway."  " "Then what wish did you make?  "Zhang Yi suddenly asked. "Me?  Ximen Muxue raised her head and glanced at the sky. After rolling her eyes twice, she chuckled and said, "I won't tell you either. It won't work if I say it."  " Zhang Yi spread his hands indifferently and said: "Actually, I didn't make any wishes. When I just closed my eyes, I was thinking about its craftsmanship value. If this Poseidon statue can be transported away and put up for auction, I will definitely do it.  It's an astronomical number.  "    "ah?  "Ximen Muxue stared at Zhang Yi dumbfounded. It was obviously a very romantic thing, but when Zhang Yi said this, it suddenly changed. Seeing her strange eyes, Zhang Yi said helplessly: "As a handicraft,  This statue is still very successful, at least I think the current modern craftsmanship has not reached this level.  I just analyzed its value from the perspective of a businessman. I don¡¯t know why, but when I just closed my eyes, this was what I thought of?  Am I really a profiteer?  " Ximen Muxue couldn't help laughing, and chuckled: "I think you are indeed a treacherous businessman, otherwise Uncle Dongfang would not have been deceived by you.  " Zhang Yi shrugged, pointed at the people from different groups in the crowd and smiled: "Actually, everyone looks at each thing and each object from a different angle, just like the painter carrying a drawing board. He looks at this  The angle of the statue is to regard it as a flat portrait, but in my mind I am thinking about how to use lines and paint to depict it.  The photographer with the camera was looking for the best place to take the picture, how to take the statue at the most perfect angle, and present its most perfect aspect.  The sculptor, on the other hand, mentally analyzed every craftsmanship, every statue, and every detail of the statue. For a sculptor, their dream is to carve this kind of work of craftsmanship that shocks the world.  Therefore, when looking at these famous statues, they are usually used as a model for reference and learning.  As for the architect, in his mind, this statue is the best creative blueprint. He will look for creative inspiration from every arc, every angle, and every turning point of the statue to design the best  work.  " Immediately, Zhang Yi smiled softly and said: "As for ordinary people, this statue is just an ordinary fountain. Naturally, they will not bother to think about the vision and thoughts of those professionals. This is  The difference between winners and losers is that they have different visions, different thoughts, and different achievements.  Only those who are good at thinking and have a broad vision have a chance to succeed. Such people are also dreamers, while those who are not good at thinking, do not know how to focus, and do not pay attention to vision will only live in mediocrity at the bottom of society in this life.  , there will never be a chance to climb up, this kind of people are pragmatic.  Not everyEveryone wants to live an ordinary life. Those who say they want an ordinary life are bullshit to put it bluntly, because they do not have the capital to pursue power and money, and their own conditions are limited and restricted, so they can only use this kind of life.  Facing his own incompetent life with an indifferent attitude, if you let him win a jackpot or inherit a fortune worth tens of millions, I'm afraid all his true nature will be exposed.  " "You mean, I am also an ordinary little girl?  "Ximen Muxue smiled with interest. She liked Zhang Yi's way of understanding various philosophies of life. Although everyone knew the truth, she had never seen a man who could do this like Zhang Yi.  Zhang Yi chuckled and said: "So there is no so-called pragmatist in this society. In fact, everyone is a dreamer. Otherwise, look at the people around this wishing pool?  Since they can come here to make a wish, doesn't it explain everything?  " Ximen Muxue nodded in agreement. Only then did she understand that what Zhang Yi said was implying what he had just said that he had not made a wish. Even dreamers with real strength and capital actually disdain to make a wish.  Such a nonsense wish. Seeing Ximen Muxue's thoughtful look, Zhang Yi chuckled and said, "Muxue, you are a talented financial woman. Naturally, you are not an ordinary little girl. You will definitely be a famous one in the future.  financier.  " Ximen Muxue suddenly blinked at Zhang Yi, her beautiful eyes showing sweetness: "Actually, my wish just now is that all your wishes can come true.  " Immediately, Ximen Muxue clasped her hands towards the statue of Poseidon and bowed gently with Buddhist etiquette. Then she stretched out, shook her slender waist and said with a smile: "I've been to the Wishing Pond, too.  There are no regrets, we can leave Rome now.  " Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Ximen Muxue: "Then where should we go next?  " "Go to Prague, Czech Republic.  " "Then go to Denmark and Copenhagen.  " "Finally go to Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral.  " The two held hands, squeezed out of the crowded crowd around the wishing fountain, and left far away.
