Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Thinking that the interview time agreed with Romero was 02:30 in the afternoon, Su Yun, who had just completed today's daily training from the system's small black room, looked at her watch: Very good, there is still one hour.

Su Yun's current address is Zhao's property in New York. It is about half an hour's drive away from the restaurant they agreed upon. However, considering the traffic jams on the way, Su Yun still took a quick 5-minute drive. After tidying herself up, she took the temporary assistant assigned to her and got into the taxi that the staff called to the door waiting for her.

Because the restaurant is located next to a park, the flow of people on weekdays is not small. Of course, this restaurant also takes advantage of the convenience of being close to the park, and has a selling point of being able to see the park.

After arriving near the park very smoothly, Su Yun got out of the car, and was about to raise her eyes to look around the surrounding environment habitually, when a small figure on the iron fence on the other side of the park caught her attention.

"Hey! Child, be careful!" Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. Su Yun, who used to follow Lu Shaolong to "train" in the streets and alleys under the night of Xiangjiang, saw the little figure climbing over the iron fence. You can immediately judge the success rate of this behavior.

The jerky and clumsy gesture clearly proves that this figure is a novice to climb the iron fence. However, the iron fence in this park is of that kind of hollowed-out style. Injury and then a fall from a height.

In order to avoid accidents, while Su Yun was shouting, she ran to the iron fence without stopping, and helped the boy who looked like twelve or thirteen years old.

The originally swaying body had a stable and solid support, and the young man whose face turned pale from fright slowed down a little. After he regained his composure, he climbed down from the iron fence with Su Yun's support.

"Thank you..." The boy wiped his sweat with the back of his hand in shock.

Su Yun next to him felt an inexplicable familiarity with the young man's appearance. While thinking about the reason, the young man who saw Su Yun's face clearly screamed, "Mary Sue?!"

"It's me, are you?" Su Yun asked back.

"My name is David, David Mayne... Oh, you probably don't know me, but do you know my mother?" The teenager named David added, "My mother's name is Romy Schneider."

"Oh, so it's you!" Su Yun suddenly realized: when filming "This Killer Is Not So Cold" a few years ago, Luo Mi and her son were traveling near the shooting location, so they came to visit the set.

No wonder it looked familiar, it turned out that this young man was the little one who followed Luo Mi to visit the class back then.

Although I haven't contacted Romy for a while, I heard from my impression that this David, who spent half of Romy's wealth to get custody from his first ex-husband, was later followed by Romy's second husband. Ren's ex-husband went to settle in the United States...

For this reason, Luo Mi had tears in her letter to Su Yun: The past few years have been the second spring of her career, and the awards and box office have led to continuous film appointments, which makes her have no time to take care of her children. , so he had no choice but to let the eldest son live in the United States with his second ex-husband.

Fortunately, although this ex-husband also wanted her money, but because everyone broke up peacefully, the second ex-husband was okay with David, his stepson, and the daughter they had later, but she needed to send a large amount of alimony regularly ...

Su Yun, who saw the letter at that time, felt sorry for this friend who was always unkind in her heart, and could only reply with some words of encouragement and a few suggestions with hints: rather lack than abuse and don't be in the garbage. It is really difficult for the love brain to understand the words of finding a man in the pile.

I don't know what kind of vision and luck this actress whose life is like her classic Sissi is. The first love is Zha Lan, who is known as the scumbag of the century, and the subsequent two husbands are hot chickens who want her money. And the worst thing is, even though Zha Lan treated her as the least scumbag among the three, she still couldn't wake up after stepping on three pitfalls.

It's also thanks to her busy career that she doesn't have the mind to be influenced by the brain of love, otherwise, she might have to step into another pit.

"So what's going on with you?" Su Yun couldn't help asking again after figuring out why David appeared here.

"My mother didn't send me any money recently. I heard that she had a kidney removal operation for physical reasons... I want to visit her." David opened the small satchel on his back with some anxiety, and there was a lot of odds and ends in it. "I secretly helped my neighbors to save enough airfare during this time, so I took the opportunity of going out to the park today to go to the airport..."

Su Yun touched his head: "Good boy, but a person like you is still very dangerous, understand?"

"I understand..." Being caught on the spot, David naturally felt that he had no chance, but he still didn't want to give up, "I just want to go see her."

Su Yun was taken aback by his dying voice, and after thinking about what was going on, she laughed again: "Oh, do you think I'm going to stop you?"

"Isn't it?" David's eyes widened.

"Of course not—I'm planning to help you!" Su Yun glanced back, and dragged David to the taxi she had booked at the scheduled time, "It's rare that you have such thoughts, as your mother's friend , I will definitely fulfill you."

"Excuse me, take this kid to the nearest airport, and help him buy a non-stop ticket to Paris." After Su Yun handed over a wad of money to her temporary assistant, she stuffed David into the back of the taxi inside the seat.

The temporary assistant was a Chinese lady who was born and raised in Chinatown. Hearing that David went to Paris to visit his mother who was hospitalized, she immediately nodded with emotion, and promised Su Yun that she would take him to the airport safely, and then let her go immediately. The driver came back to pick her up.

"Don't worry, I'll probably talk to Mr. Romero for a long time. The most important thing for you is to get this child on the plane safely." As far as the current speed of the plane is concerned, even if it is a direct flight from New York to Paris without a transfer It will take more than ten hours. Su Yun has plenty of time to call the people in France and ask them to pick up the plane after the interview.

After solving this little episode, Su Yun hurried back to the restaurant again, raised her hand and looked at her watch: Fortunately, I just caught up, and I'm not late.

Seeing her anxious face, Romero, who was sitting on the seat, comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who loses his temper for no reason."

Looking at his seemingly healing smile, Su Yun breathed out: Unexpectedly, this well-known father of modern horror movies and zombies is not a tyrant but a moderate.

Originally, she thought that this master who always liked to mirror and satirize social issues would have a relatively sharp personality.

"Of course I'm not easy to get along with. If I decide something, then I will stick to it." Romero saw Su Yun's thoughts and explained, "However, I will have the greatest respect for like-minded people. degree of tolerance."

"Just now I saw that you didn't come here early to save a boy. I think, even if you were later, I wouldn't mind." Romero motioned Su Yun to look at the French window next to him: this window is facing Iron fence at the park across the street.

"Then today is really my lucky day." Su Yun was appreciated by the master inadvertently, and Su Yun took a sip of coffee in a comfortable mood.

"However, the main thing is that I am interested in the ideas in your films." Romero continued, "In addition to "Brewster's Billions", I re-watched your previous films. Movies, in the "Artificial Intelligence" that I collaborated with Kubrick, I really like the scene where the robot picks up the stumped limbs."

"This is also the inspiration from your "Night of the Living Dead" back then." Su Yun decisively offered a wave of commercial exchange, "I really like the zombie theme and key points you set, except for "Artificial Intelligence" In addition to that paragraph, the game series of "Resident Evil" is also inspired by you."

"Well, I have also read your planning table - I have to say that the mutation of virus infection is indeed more scientific and reasonable than the reason for my previous infection, and this also involves the key points of medical ethics , It’s another good subject of internal human struggle.” Romero’s expression was very satisfied: After all, the reason why movies with the theme of zombies appeared in the world was to criticize the greed of capitalists in the first place.

Before the living dead series of zombie films he improved and innovated, there was actually a black-and-white film "White Zombie" produced in 1932, which was the earliest zombie-themed film in the world.

However, the story described in "White Zombie" is actually a story about voodoo wizards and reanimated corpses in Haitian folklore. Working with machines in a factory...

This kind of labor without food or salary is simply the ultimate dream of a typical capitalist.

Later, "Night of the Living Dead" he filmed was based on the predecessors, through clear descriptions of violence and cover-up of suspense and horror themes, reflecting and satirizing the chaotic society at that time and the internal conflicts and struggles among people. .

It can be said that the most important thing about the theme of zombies is not horror, violence and blood, but the internal struggle between people about interests and human nature that is covered up under it.

That's why he only began to recognize Su Yun's creative thinking after "Brewster's Billions" came out.

In this interview, Su Yun was also very satisfied with Romero, the horror master: If it is just a pure horror commercial film, no matter how much money it makes, it will be a moment of glory.

Only by injecting it with a deep core enough to provide the audience with thinking, and expressing it in a way that appeals to both refined and popular tastes, can a certain type of film become an eternal monument.

Back then, in the "Resident Evil" series of movies, although the plot of the game version was drastically changed in the front, at least in the first two movies, the core of the struggle and hope of people in a desperate situation is not considered to be deviant.

It's a pity that after the third film began to develop globally but couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, this movie series eventually became a way to pretend to be an infinite heroine, and then in order to fulfill the previous plot, Continue to eat books one by one, pull out the protagonists of the game to attract popularity... until the end, it completely deviates from the theme.

Of course, the plot of the movie series is completely capable of making a super heroine popular in an action movie, but what Su Yun wants to shoot is still the plot of the game series - it was originally just a group of people in grief and confusion. In the society, there are still group portrait stories that nurture the warmth of human nature.
