Chapter 260 Hong Kong's First Film Queen

"After that?" Su Yun hummed, her eyes looking inquiringly, "What do you want to say?"

"Didn't you say that there was a precedent of Bern Anderson who became emotionally involved during filming due to various reasons?" Zhuang Long looked at her seriously. "Sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish between being in a role and being out of it. Perhaps at some moment, without realizing it, a person will suddenly be affected by the character he or she is playing..."

"If that's the case, shouldn't the people who are falling in love this time be you and me?" Su Yun's eyes showed a little more interest: In the first part of "Grave Robbers", the characters with emotional scenes are the antique shop owner played by Zhuang Long and the "goddess" played by herself.

However...because of Zhuang Long's inquiring attitude, she did know some of the inside story: the night before Zhao Liming left, he went to Zhuang Long with some wine and food to discuss his personal matters, and she happened to see him knocking on the door stealthily through the window.

Although she considered respecting personal privacy, she did not go to the door to eavesdrop.

But considering Zhao Qiming's old hen-like thinking, it is not difficult to guess: he probably thought that there would be no one to look after her after he went to Shenzhen, so he specially found an "elder" to help?

In the past, Zhuang Long didn't care so much about it. He just watched her playing with those young people with a smile. At most, he would occasionally remind her to pay attention to her image to avoid being written about by reporters.

And ever since Zhao Liming left, Zhuang Long had clearly become more alert - he must have been entrusted with "care" by Zhao Liming.

Su Yun thought of this and couldn't help but sigh deeply: To be honest, although young handsome guys like Keanu who are only 18 or 19 years old and young men like Chen Baiyang who are secretly gazing at her wholeheartedly always have a youthful and sweet feeling like first love, her taste preference is to prefer men who seem mature but not fully mature, and are worldly-wise but not worldly-wise.

For example, Zhang Querong, who is always distant from her but always considerate, and Zhuang Long, who always acts like an elder but carries a fascinating story in his whole body.

Unfortunately, she and Zhuang Long had known each other too early and for too long, and their positions on each other had been shaped and their boundaries had been defined from a very early stage. If she wanted to break this boundary, she would have to make a considerable effort.

She doesn't have that much time to indulge in love between men and women at the moment, so it's okay to flirt occasionally when she has time, but if she really wants to take a relationship seriously... she can't do that for the time being.

This is the typical mentality of a scumbag who wants to walk through a sea of ​​flowers without getting hurt.

Compared to Su Yun's casual and meaningful remark, Zhuang Long was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a helpless smile: "You are still so naughty, always speaking without thinking."

"I have just become an adult, so I am sure I will have the problems that teenagers have, such as greed for fun and immature thinking." Su Yun has known how to take advantage of her age to do whatever she wants since she was a child. Over time, this has made her more "mature".

“Young people always think their peers are childish and they only try to attract the attention of older people, but they don’t realize that as they grow up, they will start to miss their past selves.” Zhuang Long whispered: Just like him, when he was young, he always wanted to see the prosperity of the world, but after staying in the United States for a long time, he missed the people and things in his hometown all the time.

Even if the memory of youth is not beautiful.

"Maybe. Everyone grows up stumbling along the way, and no one is an exception." Regarding the excessive attention paid to her relationship issues by everyone around her, Su Yun takes a natural attitude: it's not that she doesn't want to date, but she just hasn't met the person who shows enough love for her.

Her personality is too "selfish" and she is also particularly greedy for pleasure. When she meets celebrities and beauties, she often can't help but take the initiative to attack them. But after getting the person, she just wants to maintain the status quo and has no intention of taking further steps. She covets the beauty of others but doesn't want to take responsibility...

Su Yun is aware of her selfish character, so she has focused on her career in recent years.

After all, there is no such thing as premature love in Hong Kong nowadays. Girls who are only twelve or thirteen years old and in middle school already have boyfriends, and they can get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. This is the emotional portrait of the young generation in Hong Kong under the dual impact of the feudal traditional idea of ​​early marriage and the modern trend of personality liberation.

For example, Su Yun's age and appearance are already considered "late" in the eyes of some of her peers.

In other words, it was only the eldest brother Zhao Liming, who always felt that "girls would not have a good life if they married outside the family", who was worrying unnecessarily. The two elder sisters of the Zhao family, Su Yun herself, and even the sisters of the Mei family who had infinite aspirations for marriage, did not have such anxiety.

"Brother Hui, I'm ready. When can you start styling my hair?" Su Yun clapped her hands, shook off the date cake crumbs on her hands, then stood up and called out to Chen Yunhui who was instructing the staff to put the goddess costume into the van.

Chen Yunhui gestured: "Everything has been arranged in the car. You can come over and change your clothes first. I'll go get the jewelry."

Su Yun nodded, walked towards the van, and then ducked down and walked in very swiftly.

Upon seeing this, two female bodyguards who were hired through Lu Shaolong's connections immediately stood on the left and right sides of the car door and took charge of guarding.

Su Yun closed the car door and looked up at the current layout of the interior: this kind of van that can serve as a nanny car is taller and larger than ordinary vans, and can generally be used as a temporary lounge, dressing room or dressing room.

Because this section was shot in the wild, there were nothing but trees all around, and there weren't many forest rangers' houses left these days, so naturally we had to use a van as a dressing room.

"Come, let me help you." The person who spoke was Hui Qinghong, who served as Su Yun's assistant. She herself was also a female action star in Zhao's films, but the reason she joined the crew this time was due to a personal recommendation from an insider.

Hui Qinghong is one of the few female disciples of Master Liu, a senior master of Zhao's martial arts. Because of her good martial arts skills and ability to endure hardships, she also starred in the film "The Elders" directed by Master Liu last year and became an instant star as the leading female in the film.

However, along with the instant fame came gossips in the media that the two masters and apprentices had an improper relationship.

This fabricated scandal not only made it difficult for the two to interact as often as before, but it also made Master Liu's girlfriend, who was much older than him - yes, that's right, Miss Weng, who had been involved in the scandal with Chen Baiyang - very angry.

On one side is his girlfriend, and on the other side is his beloved disciple. After weighing the two, Master Liu had no choice but to sacrifice Hui Qinghong, his disciple, and asked his connections to send her far away to avoid the spotlight.

Therefore, Su Yun's crew, which was going to the north to film, was targeted: for an international-scale co-production, even if she was only an assistant to the heroine and a double for action scenes when necessary, it would not be considered to lower her value.

After all, Hui Qinghong has only just played the leading role in a movie, and it was a movie shot by her own master. Judging from her previous resume, she is actually a supporting actress who is not even a third-tier actress.

Therefore, Master Liu decisively used his connections to send this person to Su Yun, who was looking for a hardworking female assistant: his apprentice was willing to endure hardships and work hard, and if he followed Su Yun for a while, he might catch Su Yun's eye - that Keanu Reeves who suddenly appeared, wasn't he the one who played a small supporting role in "The Fault in Our Stars" and did a good job, so Su Yun remembered him and cast him as the second male lead in the movie?

Master Liu had a very cunning plan: he didn't believe that his good apprentice could not be better than a young foreigner!

As for Su Yun, although she didn't know the mentality of those people below to compete for favor, she really needed a talent like Hui Qinghong who could fight, act and endure hardships, so she politely accepted her with a smile - not to mention, Hui Qinghong was the winner of the Best Actress Award at the first Hong Kong Film Awards!

The movie that won her the award was "The Elders" directed by Master Liu.

Although, in the discussion of the internal meeting, many people deliberately blurred the minor first award in 1982, and promoted Su Yun, the former Cannes Film Queen, to the position of Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which was named the second but actually the first.

However, in the end, Su Yun took the initiative to reject all these proposals: for someone like her who holds multiple roles including "senior executive", "organizer" and "sponsor", it would not be easy for her to directly win the Best Actress award at the second Academy Awards, even if she was a virtuous person.

Firstly, The Postman was scheduled to premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in 1983, which was not in line with the schedule and her role in the film was strictly a "supporting actress"; secondly, when the trophy was made, the designer referred to her appearance and body shape and design suggestions, so some people privately called this award the "Marie Sue Award" in the same way as the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards" is commonly known as the Oscars...

It was too much of a joke to have Mary Sue go on stage to receive the first Mary Sue Look Award for Best Actress.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Su Yun decisively rejected the proposal and also took the initiative to state that she would not participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards acting category.

In this case, the organizers have no choice but to find a suitable cast list again.

Thanks to these connections, Su Yun was able to obtain nominations for various awards at the end of last year, 1983.

"You stay here and put on your makeup for a while, I'll go try out the Wei Ye." In this play, Su Yun is not only the leading actress but also the first director. Sometimes some of the positioning and positioning problems of hanging the Wei Ye need to be done by a stand-in, just like Mei Yanshuang's job when she was with the crew.

But now Mei Yanshuang is already a well-known TV drama heroine and a new female singer. She works for TBB, which is accustomed to exploiting its artists. She has no less work than Su Yun.

This is why Su Yun needed to find another female assistant.

Although Hui Qinghong won her first Hong Kong Academy Award for Best Actress in March last year, she did not understand the significance of the award because the first award ceremony was too much of a makeshift one. In addition, Master Liu's earnest advice before she came here made her still cautiously consider herself a third-tier actress and a hardworking assistant.

On the other hand, Su Yun, because of the memories of later generations, admired and favored her very much, and treated her with great care, just like a scumbag emperor getting a new favorite. She always spoke to her in a kind and gentle voice - this was a world of difference from the treatment given to Keanu, who had to do at least thirty NGs a day.
