Chapter 94: Scorpion Beauty

Seeing such an ancient beast standing at the door, Su Yun came to her senses after being shocked and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Alas, it turns out that she is really a beauty lover. After removing the seal of her sunglasses on her face, facing such a face, she can't even bear to say any harsh words, let alone slap it.

Su Yun, who had gossiped about his deeds in the past, marked his name as "Zha Lan" in her notebook when she saw his life was so bad that he could compete with Marlon Brando for the title of the best scumbag. Of course, it was the homonym of "scumbag"...

"Do you have a notebook like this?" Amid Su Yun's secret complaints, Alain Delon took out a notebook from his briefcase, "Is there a script written in it?"

"Come in and talk." Su Yun glanced outside and greeted.

Alain Delon responded, tightened his thin trench coat, lowered his head and walked into the cabin.

He didn't notice it before because his vision was not clear due to the sunglasses he was wearing, but now that he is looking with his naked eyes, he finds that the little girl who pinned him to the ground and slapped him actually has a good-looking face.

And the way she stood at the door for a moment just now clearly showed that she was shocked by her own appearance.

Alain Delon, who is essentially a super narcissistic Narcissus, thought of this and immediately had a better impression of Su Yun: Very good, he just likes to be friends with people who are beautiful but can appreciate his charm, which can greatly satisfy his self-love.

As for why he wanted to be friends with her, he had to recall last night when the agent Piero took him back to the hotel room for education.

Knowing his temper, Piero said nothing more after settling the dispute at the police station. He advised him earnestly not to indulge in reckless drinking and drinking because of his inner loneliness and to learn how to control himself properly. He then planned to leave quickly and find out whether the accident had been reported to the media by passers-by, just as Ovitz had done before Su Yun.

To be honest, compared to Alain Delon's previous philandering, arrogant, and violent deeds, this incident of being pinned to the ground and beaten was nothing more than child's play.

Maybe Alain Delon himself feels that the debt is not a burden, but as a broker, Piero cannot ignore such incidents that are within his scope of responsibility!

Just when Piero had picked up his briefcase, he saw Alain Delon suddenly become absorbed in reading a notebook he took out of the large suitcase.

Remembering his previous plan to ask Brigitte Bardot, with whom he had collaborated, to help write the preface for his autobiography, Piero reached out to him: "How much have you written? Do you want me to help you find someone to polish it?"

"Wait, wait, I'm reading a story." Alain Delon turned a page, "This script is really good, I like it very much."

"What script?" Piero leaned over to take a look, but frowned slightly. "Isn't this a bit similar to your previous "Lone Killer"? Is it a copycat work by some unknown little director?"

"They are similar on the surface, but the core is completely different." Alain Delon explained, "Le Samouraille is a story about loneliness, and I myself have a certain understanding of loneliness. With the guidance of director Melville, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to perform."

"But 'The Killer Leon' is not like that. How should I put it? It is that kind of helpless warmth - the resurrection of human nature from extinction, and the mutual redemption of two people who should have nothing to do with each other."

The name "Leon: The Professional" is the Chinese translation from Su Yun's memory. The general translation is "Léon", which is based on the English name of the movie "Léon".

"But more people will think that this is adults' 'bullying' of little girls from all kinds of factors." Knowing that this kind of uncle-loli plot is easy to make some people think wrongly, Piero, who also has national talent and confidence, shook his head, "They are not us, and they don't understand the artistic cells and touch engraved in the bones of the French."

"But I love Leon and Mathilda in the story so much! You know, superficial Americans only like those silly pretty characters, but in Europe and Asia, it is the character, not the face, that attracts the audience." Alain Delon made up his mind, "I want this script. Even if the North American box office may fail, it will definitely make money in Japan."

"And the subsequent videotapes will make up for the loss - this is a good story worth revisiting," he said confidently.

After hearing this, Piero, who had known him for many years, also understood that he had made up his mind: his client's character was so bad that the media labeled him a playboy and wicked man, which was just a more difficult problem. However, his eye for selecting films was very accurate.

He was able to climb from such a poor background to his current status as a top Hollywood male star. In addition to his natural looks, his natural business acumen and ability to read people's expressions also played a big role in his rise to the top.

If it's something he wants to do or something that benefits him, this guy doesn't mind losing face to please the other party just to get the desired outcome.

Just like in 1962, Alain Delon, who had made many movies, was already a rising star. For most people, they probably started their careers by having to play the leading role in a script.

In order to expand his influence, he took the initiative to propose to play a supporting role to the famous actor Jean Gabin, who had already won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival twice and the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival twice.

When the producers heard the news, they were all surprised: since they had already invited Jean Gabin, whose acting skills and box office were guaranteed, there was no need to spend a lot of money to invite Alain Delon, who was very popular and therefore very expensive...

As a result, faced with this reply, Alain Delon took the initiative to propose to star in this movie for free without asking for any remuneration!

Correspondingly, the copyright fees of this movie in Japan and the Soviet Union belonged to him.

When the producers heard this condition, they were immediately tempted: French films at that time did not have much influence in the Soviet Union and Japan, and could not be sold at a good price. Why not get Alain Delon, a popular star, for free?

So, through this series of tricks, he successfully got the new movie resources.

As the agent at the time, Piero was afraid that Jean Gabin's bad temper would offend people during the filming. After all, Jean Gabin, who has reached the level of a representative figure in the history of modern French cinema, is naturally extremely picky.

Just think of Alain Delon, who was reluctant to take roles because he thought filming was too hard, and who finally had to be coaxed and praised by those who funded him before he agreed to film, and who almost missed the chance to become famous. If he had offended this big shot in the film industry during filming, what would his agent do?

But surprisingly, on the set, Piero's worries did not occur at all: Alain Delon, who was always bad-tempered, was extremely respectful to Jean Gabin, caring about him and doing his best to do his job perfectly. He changed his usual behavior so much that people in the industry laughed at him for acting at his own expense...

While outsiders saw him as a joke, Jean Gabin, who was flattered and respected throughout the whole process, admired him very much, which led to the subsequent collaborations between the two men.

Of course, the ending of this movie, which made everyone laugh at him for acting at his expense, was also very unexpected. Because the previous movie "The Dead Sea" starring Alain Delon was a big hit in Japan, and the Japanese people loved him very much, so the copyright fee of this new movie in Japan alone was sold at a huge price of 600,000 francs. In the end, Jean Gabin, who got the news of the approximate amount of the share, couldn't help but sigh that in this movie, he, the supporting actor, earned more than me, the protagonist...

Since then, Alain Delon, who seemed to have found his way, not only collaborated with famous directors everywhere, but also established the Delbor Production Company and began to pursue the business path of being a producer.

He has come this far, and even though his influence and status are at a disadvantage compared to European and Hollywood actors, he has managed to reach his current level of stardom.

At present, he is one of the few European actors who can compete with Hollywood actors in terms of influence.

For a man like this who has both high skills and emotional intelligence, great ambition and strong desire for control, it is no wonder that some people think he is the successful version of Julien Sorel in "The Red and the Black" or Duroy, the shrewd man who came from the bottom of society and relied on stepping on others to get to the top in "Beauty Amigos".

So he was not surprised at all to see Piero, who had gone alone to discuss the script acquisition, and when he came back from going out to inquire about the news, he saw that the room was empty...

But no matter how speechless Piero who stayed in the hotel room was now, back in the cabin, when Su Yun and Ovitz heard that Alain Delon had come to the door and wanted to buy the script of "Léon", they looked at each other and saw the disapproval in each other's eyes.

Su Yun's thoughts were very straightforward: she wrote this script in order to create a new image with this literary and creative story of a new type of action movie, and to satisfy her addiction to participating in Bai Yueguang's favorite thing - after nearly twenty years, it will basically not affect future "remakes" or innovations.

Compared to Su Yun's complicated yet direct thoughts, Ovitz's disapproval mainly came from not wanting to sell a good script so easily, so he asked tentatively: "How do you plan to buy this story... Do you want to play the leading role?"

"Sir, if I didn't want to act, why did I ask all the waitresses before coming here?" Alain Delon said, and winked at Su Yun beside him, "My dear lady, please help me persuade your daddy, I will take you to buy delicious food and drinks, and I will buy you any new clothes you want..."

"If you want to make a movie, I also have some ways to arrange for you to play some supporting roles with some screen time..." Recalling the memory of the police in the police station recognizing Su Yun as a child star and asking her for an autograph, he thought for a moment and added another sentence.

Just based on the fact that the slightly plump man in the police station loves his adopted Asian daughter so much, if he can coax his daughter first, his chances of success in buying the script will definitely increase!

Alain Delon, who currently hangs out in France and has only recently come to Hollywood for a visit, so has no idea of ​​Su Yun's current popularity, is very confident: his face can attract women from 8 to 80 years old!

Su Yun, who has always been the lead actress but often competes for awards by changing roles due to her age: ...How can I describe this chaotic behavior of this guy who tried to please the wrong person but somehow managed to please the person he was supposed to please?
