Chapter 105 Role Playing

Surrounded by the golden retrievers, Su Yun glared at Zha Lan, who was taking pleasure in the misfortune, and then began to introduce the three of them one by one.

Bourne looked down at Tom and River, smiled and nodded: "Hello."

Tom looked up at the top of Bourne's head, frowned slightly, but still maintained his good manners: "Hello."

The only one who didn't go to school because of his parents and only studied at home was Rui Fan, who puffed up his face and ignored the other two golden retrievers with the same attributes who seemed to be trying to steal his business.

Seeing that the three of them seemed to be getting along fairly peacefully, Su Yun, who had accidentally gathered too many golden retrievers, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: Fortunately, they are all young now and there is no real conflict of interest. At most, the original plan to come to her encountered an accident, so he was a little unhappy or had a little bit of competition for favor... However, at least the surface peace was maintained.

If there are conflicts due to emotional factors or interests, it will not be so easy to control the situation.

After calming down the three golden retrievers who looked at each other meaningfully because of their overlapping attributes, Su Yun, who had eaten and drunk her fill, sent away Bourne who had come to visit the crew, and then returned to the hotel where the crew was staying to rest.

Although Bourne, who came to visit the set on a whim, was easy to deal with, the two who were still in the crew were playing game consoles with great enthusiasm. If Su Yun had not confiscated the consoles, the two of them would probably have played all night.

The next day, after asking the staff to move up Tom and River's scenes, Su Yun finally found some time. After looking around, she simply started chatting with Michael Douglas, who played the business agent Old Tony.

As a second-generation star, this is Douglas' first time making a movie. Before this, he was either a production assistant or shooting TV series. Therefore, he was somewhat grateful for Su Yun's "appreciation".

"Are you preparing for One Flew Over the Lunatic Asylum next?" Su Yun asked.

"Yes, but there is still a small problem in choosing the male lead. The candidates Gene Hackman and Marlon Brando both declined the invitation, so I am considering the third choice, Jack Nicholson." Douglas's acting path is different from that of normal people. While others transform from actors in front of the stage to directors and producers behind the scenes, he started as a producer and then slowly became an actor.

The Oscar for Best Picture is awarded to the producer, so he first won the Best Picture for "One Flew Over the Lunatic Asylum" and then won the Best Actor for "Wall Street."

"Then you have to hurry up. I know Stanley Kubrick is preparing a new movie and is planning to invite Nicholson to be the leading actor." Su Yun thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you." When Douglas heard the news, he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.

"You're welcome. I told you this news just to avoid you from running into Stanley." Both "One Flew Over the Lunatic Asylum" and "The Shining" are good movies. It would be a pity if they caused problems due to the schedule of the leading actors.

After saying these words, Su Yun stood up and went to shoot her scenes with Tom.

She intended for Tom to play the role of a passerby boy who was borrowing a cigarette from the heroine Matilda outside. When the hero Leon, who was sitting in the restaurant, saw this scene, he would stand up and chase him away. As for whether this plot would be interpreted as the rage of an old father or the jealousy of an old man, that was up to everyone.

After sending Tom and River away, the story returns to the rivalry between the male protagonist Leon and the young heroine Matilda.

The scene to be filmed today is the one where the male protagonist Leon and the young heroine Matilda play a role-playing game in a hotel in order to relieve fatigue during their work breaks, and then guess each other's role.

The first character to appear in the original version was the low-profile Madonna played by Matilda, but it is obviously not suitable at the current time, so Su Yun changed it to the princess played by Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" - her bob haircut, after clipping the hair at the back, can present Hepburn's classic short hair style.

However, no matter whether it is Hepburn or Monroe, or Chaplin or Jim Kelly, Leon, the male lead as an "outdated old man", is unguessable.

While changing clothes halfway through the filming, Su Yun saw Romy coming to visit her again, and suddenly she had an idea.

During this period, Romy came to visit her several times and was quite nice to her, so Su Yun boldly stepped forward and whispered to Romy in her ear.

After listening to Su Yun's whisper, Romy looked at Zha Lan who was taking a nap not far away, then looked at Su Yun who was looking forward to it, thought for a while, and finally agreed.

The fact that Su Yun and Zha Lan were not close friends was already an open secret among the crew, but given Zha Lan's personality, it was not impossible to make a joke.

It's all in the past, and neither of them cares about it anymore, but it is indeed a good easter egg, and if it works well, all three of them will benefit.

Therefore, with Romy's personal guidance and help, Su Yun looked like a little princess even though she wore an ordinary long dress this time.

To add a sense of drama, Su Yun hung some lace scarves and decorative artificial flowers on this ordinary long dress. If you look closely, you will find that this little princess dress is simply a role-playing trick of a child piling up elements.

As for the long curly hair of "Princess Sissi", she just used a dark orange scarf to pretend...

"Not bad, at first glance, it really does look like that." Romy couldn't help laughing when she saw Su Yun like this: Although her clothes and styles were all very low-profile, Su Yun managed to maintain the elegance and grace that a princess should have with her looks and temperament.

Even though she is still young, her extremely outstanding facial features already give her the look of a great beauty, and the distribution pattern is so standard that it is close to the golden ratio.

If it weren't for the implicit and hazy aura that comes from her oriental blood, Su Yun's acting career would have been even better.

After all, in terms of appearance, Su Yun, a standard beauty who can pull off various styles, is easier to portray than her who needed stylists to painstakingly design a unique style to cover up her flaws.

Although she was called the most beautiful woman in post-war Europe, Romy was still insecure about her appearance due to the shadow of her childhood, and she deeply regretted that her eyes were wider than the standard distance. A girl who was obviously very beautiful was laughed at by her parents from childhood to adulthood, saying that she looked like a mentally retarded mouse because her appearance did not meet the standard of beauty. How good could such high-pressure education and control that controlled her from entering the entertainment industry as a cash cow produce?

Generally speaking, Romy, who became very popular in Germany at that time, was a top-tier young actress of that era. Although she could not rank among the top directors, she could continue to stay in the film industry by relying on the classic role of Princess Sissi.

Even if her later films became box office poison, she could still live off the legacy of Sissi.

But Romy, who had a miserable life, was never the lucky Sissi in the movie; and she did not want to be trapped in the smile of Princess Sissi, unable to cry for her own distress.

Therefore, even though her old relationship with Zallan started too passionately and ended too tragically, Romy still believed that those rebellious and crazy youth were the happiest days of her life. The Germans at that time were all scolding Zallan, a Gallic rooster who came from a low-level gangster background, for having kidnapped their pure and beautiful Princess Sissi by some unknown means. But in fact, only she herself knew that she wanted to escape the influence of the role of Princess Sissi on her life, so she went to France to seek a new life at all costs.

In France, she no longer had to worry about the rules and regulations imposed on her by her countrymen because of her role as a princess, nor did she have to care about the control of her mother and stepfather over her life. She only had to live her own life.

It is also because of these reasons that she feels a stronger sense of self-identity towards France, a country so romantic that it seems to be dripping with water, and the French men who were once her lovers and are now more like brothers and sisters.

She had read Su Yun's information and found that she was a gifted girl with stunning talent. She was from the East and while she naturally won the favor of the Asian market, she also managed to carve out a small niche for herself in the North American market.

As for Jhala, because of those things that happened in the past and his unruly personality, although his status is still an international male star, Germany dislikes France and the United States and it is difficult for him to integrate into the market. This means that neither the European market nor the North American market welcomes him. Only Japan and the Soviet Union are relatively easy to accept him... In this way, making friends with an actress from the East with a promising future may be a great guarantee for the future.

Of course, she also liked Su Yun's well-behaved and lovable personality, and even had a bit of empathy for her: she did not receive the love of her mother in her childhood, and now her only child is a boy a few years younger than Su Yun, who cannot make up for her childhood regrets.

When she saw Su Yun dressed up as a little princess, she seemed to see herself back then.

Feeling herself being hugged gently, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then she raised her hand as if she had sensed something and gently hugged Romy back: because CCTV always rebroadcasts the Sissi series of movies, she knows and likes Romy much more than Zha Lan.

Even her princess dream enlightenment as a little girl did not come from fairy tales, but from the Sissi movie series in which Romy played the role of Princess Sissi.

Therefore, Su Yun, who knows Romy's life story both on and off the stage, can probably feel her current complex emotions: the most difficult thing for most people to do in their lives is often to reconcile with their past selves.

"Are you okay?" Su Yun asked softly.

"Thank you, I'm much better." Romy wiped the corners of his eyes and then smiled. "Am I bothering you?"

"The time is just right. I'll get ready." Su Yun glanced at the clock hanging next to her, then waved to Spielberg who was sitting with the staff team, indicating that she was ready and they could continue filming.

Without a doubt, when Su Yun came out in a low-profile princess outfit, Zha Lan was slightly stunned on the spot, then stared at her lively appearance and said a name: "Romy Schneider."

"No, no, no, according to Leon's character setting, you should guess 'Princess Sissi', and then I said 'Wrong, it should be Romy Schneider'!" Because the hero Leon in the story is a lonely and uneducated killer, none of the stars mentioned before could be guessed, so it is impossible to guess the name Romy Schneider. Su Yun immediately put her hands on her hips and corrected him.

"You are playing Romy. Princess Sissi is not like this." In response to Su Yun's correction, Zha Lan not only spoke but also took action. She stood up and began to instruct Su Yun on some small details that were difficult to notice.

Romy, who was watching from the side, suddenly realized: "I was saying just now that I always felt that something was missing - it turns out that there is always a gap between how I see myself and how others see me. I really didn't notice these details before."

Recognized by Romy himself, Su Yun had no choice but to follow Zha Lan's guidance: As the old saying goes, the person who knows you best is never yourself.

So after the adjustments were made, Su Yun and Zha Lan returned to their original positions and filmed again.

This time, the hero Leon hesitantly expressed his guess about Princess Sissi, and then was corrected by the heroine Matilda that this was the star Romy Schneider and not the historical figure Princess Sissi. This contrasts the lonely and conservative side of the hero and the rebellious side of the heroine.

Likewise, it also shows that even though the two people have completely different personalities, they both yearn for laughter in their hearts, which becomes one of the few heartwarming shots in the film.

Of course, this is a very harmonious and heartwarming scene both in and out of the film. Besides becoming a classic movie clip and often being edited into CUT clips, it also frequently appears in various plot MVs edited by CP fans in later generations based on their looks.

However, the labels are not harmony and warmth, but the popular ones: substitute, wife-chasing crematorium, sadomasochistic love, white moonlight and cinnabar mole...

The most terrifying thing is that the creative people not only used these melodramatic and popular labels on the pairing of Su Yun and Zha Lan, but also on the pairing of Su Yun and Romy - because Su Yun said in an interview in the future that Romy's Princess Sissi was the enlightenment of her princess dream... Then, the creative people had wild imaginations.

Of course, even if the relationship between these three beauties is good enough to pair up with each other, to this day, most of the CP fans who are obsessed with looks are still worried that the most handsome man in France and the most beautiful woman in China cannot be together: although Zha Lan may never be able to catch up with Marilyn Monroe, the hedgehog spirit who jumps ruthlessly even with arrows all over her body, but picking up some sugar residue wrapped in knives from the movies and TV shows they have worked together can be regarded as fulfilling the dream of pairing up a couple with looks, right?
