Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Angel's Shadow Work

On the third day after the premiere of "Star Wars: A New Hope", Li Ping'an returned to Xiangjiang, and before leaving, in addition to telling Shirley Lansing to be optimistic about the filming of "Third Kind of Contact", there was also the purchase of film and television adaptation rights for some works. Hollywood's major film companies buy a batch of scripts or film and television adaptation rights every year, and only a few can be filmed, and most of them are just to increase the company's reserves.

Back in Xiangjiang, Li Ping'an lingered in the fat powder bush for a few days, and then began to prepare for a new music album. Hepburn has sent his son to the best primary school in Xiangjiang, Li Ping'an is not stingy with this cheap son, equipped with a full set of drivers and bodyguards, and the angel fund is managed by professional personnel.

On this day, while the women were not there, Hepburn couldn't help but find Li Ping'an, and the two didn't care if it was still daytime, they secretly hid in the bedroom and began to talk nonsense, after the passion, Hepburn nested in Li Ping'an's arms and began to draw circles on his chest, "I feel bored now, I originally wanted to go to Africa, but it feels a little messy over there now." ”

Since she is already her own woman, Li Ping'an naturally wants to think more about Hepburn, "As long as the United States and the Soviet Union are still in confrontation, Africa will not be calm, or I will make a movie with you!"

"Filmmaking? But I've been out of movies for a long time. Hepburn didn't resist filming, but had some concerns.

"Make a heartfelt love movie, you and me! You are now rejuvenated and can leave a memorable work for the fans who love you, leaving the best for them. It is estimated that it will be difficult for you to appear more on the big screen in the future, after all, now you can claim that it is the reason for makeup and health, but it will still be like this in a few years, which will arouse suspicion, and in the future, you can only try to make yourself old when you go out. ”

Hepburn thought for a while, smiled and kissed Li Ping'an, "Honey, then this movie will become my final work! But what kind of story do you want to make?"

"The plot goes like this...... Sam and Merry are a newlywed couple who move into a beautiful apartment with the help of their friend Carl. One night, when they return from watching a movie, they are robbed by gangsters, and Sam is shot and killed during the fight, leaving Merry grief-stricken. Sam was not immediately taken to heaven by an angel after his death, but instead became a ghost wandering the world. He soon discovers that Carl, who usually cares about his Chinese friend, is actually the mastermind behind this robbery, Carl wants to get the password in Sam's hand in order to steal a huge amount of money in the bank, and after Sam's death, Carl began to pursue Meili in the name of caring for his friend. ”

Hepburn felt that this story was a bit flat at first, but with Li Ping'an's telling, she slowly became obsessed with this story, and when she heard that Meili might be deceived by her enemy Carl, she suddenly became a little anxious, "Meili was not deceived by Carl, right?"

Li Ping'an continued to tell the story, "After Sam became a ghost, he gradually mastered some strange powers, and he often wandered around Meili, always protecting her, but he couldn't communicate. In order to stop Carl's plot, Sam finds a wizard with whom he can communicate with ghosts, and the other party is impressed by Sam's experience and agrees to help him communicate with Miri. ”

"But will Meili believe it?" Audrey Hepburn had completely put herself into the role of Meili at this time, and began to worry about the heroes and heroines in the play.

Meili didn't believe it at first, but soon after a series of things, she finally felt Sam's presence, but there was a difference between yin and yang, and two people who loved each other deeply could not meet and communicate directly. In order to protect Miri from harm, Sam retaliated against Carl, who failed to steal a huge amount of money from the bank, and wanted to hurt Miri, but fortunately Sam and the wizard Otta arrived in time, and Carl finally suffered the consequences and got the punishment he deserved. ”

"Did Sam and Miri end up together?" Audrey Hepburn was worried that a lover would not be married.

Li Ping'an shook his head regretfully, "Sam was able to become a ghost and stay in the world after his death, all because of the obsession in his heart for Meili's deep love. With the help of the wizard Horta, he finally appeared in front of Miri before being taken away by the angels, and the two kissed goodbye, and finally Sam turned into a point of light and dissipated in Miri's arms......"

This ending made Hepburn's nose a little sour when she heard it, although Hepburn was almost old enough to know her destiny, but such a tragic ending still made her a little difficult to let go.

Under Hepburn's coquettishness, Li Ping'an had to make a small modification to the ending of the plot, "Before Sam went to heaven, he asked Mili to promise him to be happy, to find a man who loves her, to have many, many children, Mili cried and agreed to Sam's request, many years later, Meili already has her own family, and the children have grown up, at the last moment of her life, when she was dying, she vaguely saw the drinking party when she first met Sam, and the two smiled at each other and walked onto the dance floor and danced......"

"You want to make me cry, don't you?" Audrey Hepburn leaned against Li Ping'an's chest, as if she was afraid that he would disappear like Sam, tears wet Li Ping'an's chest, and finally Hepburn pinched the fine flesh on his waist a few times with a complaining face.

"Do you want me to revise the ending?" Li Ping'an had a sense of accomplishment about the crying angel, mainly because he remembered the end of "Titanic" out of his mind.

"You can't change it to a happy ending, and the worst thing is that Meili will be erased from her memory, so it's better not to be so painful. Audrey Hepburn was still very angry, and always felt that Li Ping'an deliberately made her sad.

"If it is changed to a happy ending, this movie will not become a classic, and for the audience, the most unforgettable is often the tragedy. Li Ping'an patted Hepburn's fragrant shoulder to show comfort, "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, Romeo and Juliet, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the love of life and death in ancient and modern China and abroad is the most moving." ”

Hepburn knew that Li Ping'an was very reasonable, so she didn't complain anymore, but then she remembered another thing, "This movie requires a high level of special effects technology, can it be achieved now?"

"I asked George Lucas to prepare before I left Los Angeles, and although it was a little difficult on the ILM side, it should be fine. Li Ping'an thinks that as long as it can reach the seventh or eighth layer of the original drama, it is fine, after all, the original time and space of this movie is not to attract the audience with special effects.
