Mr. Shen Congwen said: "I have crossed the bridge in many places, seen the clouds many times, and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only fallen in love with a person of a good age." ”
At each other's best age, Alain Deron and Romey Schneider went from meeting, knowing each other to falling in love, and the golden boy and the jade girl left the most precious and sweetest memories of their lives at the right time.
However, Alain Delon was a prodigal son, and his free nature determined his life, his lover would not be only one, he betrayed Schneider, making this sweetness a sadness, leaving the two entangled for a lifetime.
"Princess Sissi" and "Soldier Boy" first met
On the banks of the Danube River, a beautiful young girl took a wedding boat through the castle town of heaven, on the shore, enthusiastic villagers held bouquets of flowers to bless the girl, pieces of petals floated on the water, and in the dockyard, even more sprinkled on the excited and hot heart of the newlywed girl.
This is the last scene of the film "Princess Sissi".
Soon after, this film depicting the love story of the princess and the prince's court was released in Austria, causing great repercussions, seemingly old-fashioned and uninvited love-hate, but filmed a unique Austrian elegant atmosphere, so that the audience could not help but be immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.
In the film, the gorgeous, elegant and sweet seventeen-year-old girl Romi Schneider created a brave and romantic princess image, which also made fans around the world begin to look forward to her rising.
In the next two years, Schneider filmed two sequels to "Princess Sissi", and she became more and more moving and beautiful, but Schneider fell into a bitter depression: she seemed to be labeled "Princess Sissy", and some people only knew "Princess Sissi" and did not know Romi Schneider, and she was eager to break the shackles through an excellent work.
In 1958, Schneider was invited to france to shoot "When the Flower Moon Broke the Intestine", which was an opportunity for her to open the French market, and Schneider agreed to the director's invitation almost without hesitation. Here, Schneider meets the man with whom she has been entangled all her life, Alain Delon.
Unlike the gentle Schneider, in the eyes of outsiders, Alain Delon is a complete "little bastard", who has a rebellious resistance complex in his bones since he grew up living in a reorganized family, he dropped out of school, fought, and even concealed his family to prepare to smuggle to the United States.
At the age of fifteen, Alain Deron joined the Marine Corps despite his family's objections and followed the troops on a colonial mission to Vietnam, and his military career did not smooth out his edges and corners.
In the army, he was still the "thorn head" that caused people a headache, and the violation of organizational discipline was one after another. Finally, Alain Deron, who was expelled from the military, came to Paris, France, and by chance, became a newcomer to the film.
Alain Delon's first meeting with Schneider was not pleasant, and this boy who grew up in the poor folk hated some of the rich districts.
And schneider, who holds the moon in the stars, is in his eyes a delicate and contrived rich man. When they first met, Alain Deron made no secret of his disdain.
For Schneider, Alain Delon was different from the male friends he had ever seen, he was rude, conceited, often exported, without a little gentlemanly demeanor, which was the first impression that Alain Delon left in her heart.
However, the subsequent cooperation allowed the two to slowly begin to understand each other.
Schneider has no aristocratic woman's shelf on him, and he treats the people around him with an approachable attitude: Alain Deron is like a leper and has no demeanor, but he has a very good heart and mingles with the staff.
The two did not speak the same language, but they had already secretly developed feelings and silently reserved a place for each other in their hearts. After the filming of the movie, the fate of the two has just begun, and the young men and women who are about to separate finally choose to bravely pursue love and successfully come together.
Love is short and ethereal, and emotions are entangled for a lifetime
In 1959, when the news of "Princess Sisi" announcing her love and rapid engagement spread throughout the film world, Alain Delon naturally became the number one "love enemy" in the hearts of fans, and Schneider also gained the first batch of "black fans" in her career: many fans blamed her for reducing her self-worth and choosing a small white face.
Schneider's mother was shocked, she did not believe that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved, could make such a ridiculous decision, and she said in a serious tone: "Such a beautiful man will not belong to you alone." ”
A woman caught in the quagmire of love is desperate, at this time she only has her lover in her heart, for this reason, Schneider did not hesitate to give up his thriving acting career, did not care about the world's vision, and followed Alain Delon to settle in Paris, France.
In order to let his lover go further in his career, Schneider personally contacted the film directors he had met in the past and introduced Alain Delon to them, but she herself gradually reached a bottleneck in her career because of the language barrier.
For all this, Schneider did not care, but calmed down to run their warm little home. This time in love with Alain Delon was the happiest moment in Schneider's life.
Even if she is surrounded by unfamiliar environments, even if her fans are decreasing, as long as she sees Alain Delon, Schneider will have a smile on her face, which makes her feel very satisfied.
Schneider's love was fiery and blind, and in carefully planning the little home for two people, she did not notice that Alain Delon was away for longer and longer, and returned home later and later.
Alain Deron, who often bought drunk until midnight, often mixed with the breath of different women, and Schneider still did not complain.
However, Schneider's blind accommodation was exchanged for Alain Delon's gains.
By chance, Schneider discovers that Alain Delon has an improper male-female relationship with her actor friend Natalie, and she questions Alain Delon for the first time.
However, in the face of his girlfriend's questioning, Alain Deron generously admitted his feelings and said that he often wandered the streets of bars and inevitably had sex with different women.
After a hoarse quarrel, Schneider took the lead in giving in, she did not want to lose Alain Delon's love, she could only choose to forgive, from beginning to end, in this relationship she was humble as a grass.
Schneider never imagined that Alain Delon was a prodigal son whose heart would not linger because of someone, even if she did a good job.
Later, Natalie became pregnant with the flesh and bones of Alain Delon, and Schneider was "excluded" as an outsider.
One morning, she found a note left by her boyfriend in her bedroom: Natalie is pregnant and I am going to Mexico with her to get married. Alain Deron's non-farewell ended the relationship.
This is the fifth year of their love affair, and the short love life is both painful and sweet, so that the two are bound for a lifetime.
The golden boy and the jade girl cooperated again, and the white moonlight had dissipated
After ending this vigorous love, Alain Delon travels to a foreign country and becomes a father, but he will not stop for Natalie.
After getting married, Alain Delong still likes to go in and out of the wind and moon place, communicate with all kinds of actresses, he has long been accustomed to using his "beauty" to exchange status, and he also uses this to make his fame further.
However, Natalie is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. She did not resign herself to it as Schneider did, and the couple often quarreled and sometimes fought violently.
Once, intolerable Natalie threatened, "If you dare to go out and find a woman, then I will also go out and find a man, and no one should interfere!" ”
Unbeknownst to Alain Deron, Natalie really colored his head: she had an affair with the manor's security guards, and got involved, which made Alain Delon unacceptable, and the relationship between the two ended in 1969.
Natalie decided to let go, but there was actually a key figure - the friend he had snatched away from her fiancé, Romy Schneider.
In 1968, director Jacques Duré, known as the "French Hitchcock", found Alain Deron again, and in the past few years the two have combined to create a popular film.
This time, he plans to shoot "Swimming Pool", the general plot is a pair of lovers who have lost love in life, lamenting life in endless tolerance and accommodation, which makes Alain Deron think of his former lover Schneider for the first time.
At this time, Schneider's career is not as good as before, he is a "past" actor, but Alain insists on letting the other party play the heroine, and they see each other again after five years.
When they met again, both of them had reached the age of standing, and their faces had faded to green and slightly mature.
Since most of the scenes in this film were filmed in the pool, the intimate contact between the two made fans think about it, and everyone invariably fell into the era of the golden child.
For a while, gossip spread throughout the film world, which made the jealous Natalie unable to bear it any longer, and finally let go of the hand that was holding Alain Deron.
Just when everyone thought that Alain and Schneider were renewing the frontier, the two were just "gentlemen's friendship as light as water", just the care and greeting between friends, as for what they thought, it was unknown.
In the 1970s, Alain Deron starred in "Zorro", which made his fame soaring, he still did not give up his habit of "wandering in the flowers", and the female companions around him changed one after another, that is, he was already recognized as the "first beautiful man in France", and no one pointed out his private life.
On weekdays, Alain Deron occasionally contacted Schneider, he knew that the other party had experienced two painful marriages, knew that the other party's life was not satisfactory, knew that the other party was afraid of the day, and Alain Deron could only write letters of comfort, after all, they were only friends now.
In 1982, Schneider's son was tragically killed, and life hit the woman hard again. The death of her son became the last straw that crushed Schneider, who was often in a trance, had no appetite, did nothing all day, talked to herself, and her mental state became weak and her body became increasingly depressed.
Ten months later, Schneider died alone.
Alain Deron attended the funeral, holding the portrait of his lover and crying silently, muttering in his mouth: "I love you, I'm sorry, I really love you..."
After the funeral, Alain Deron dropped all his work and insisted on guarding Schneider's spirit for three days. During this time, he did not carefully clean himself up, and sat paralyzed in front of the spirit like a tramp, chatting softly with his lover.
Alain Deron has had countless women in his life, but, from beginning to end, Romi Schneider is the white moonlight of his heart.
This can be a memory, but it was already confused at the time
In fact, Alain Delon and Schneider, they are both difficult for each other, after going to Mexico to marry, Alain Delon also wrote a letter to Schneider, saying that she was the love of her life.
I love you dearly, but I will not love you alone, such a scumbag language, but Sneider burst into tears. After Schneider's death, Alain Deron publicly expressed his remembrance of him.
In 2008, the French Film Institute presented Schneider with the César Award for Lifetime Honor in honor of "Princess Sissi Forever".
At the award ceremony, Alain Delong, who is in his old age, slowly walked onto the podium to accept the award for his lover.
"Why am I here? Because, today you will be 70 years old, and I really miss you. Because 50 years ago. We are an unmarried couple and 40 years ago we were swimming in the pool. Because we loved each other, we were once happy and unfortunate. ”
Alain Deron said a few words, so that the thoughts of the audience once again returned to the unforgettable love of 50 years ago.
At this time, the two of them were separated forever, one had long since turned into a red pink skeleton, and the other was also a white-haired old man who was faltering, and everyone felt sorry for this marriage.
Alain Delon loved small animals, especially dogs, a habit he had developed with Schneider, long ago. The pet dog is with him and is his longest-term companion.
In his later years, Alain Deron lived alone in his own private estate, which also included a series of cemeteries he had carefully built, and even a chapel that had begun to take shape, where 47 deceased dogs were buried.
Perhaps, Alain Delong's heart is not only these dogs that have accompanied him through his life, but also the "Princess Sisi" who fell in love when he was in full swing, but had to let go.
Mitchell wrote in Gone with the Wind: "To the world, you are just one person, but to some people, you are the whole world. ”
Alain Delon was once Schneider's world, and it was also the world of many women, and of course, he was also his own world. No one ever expected that in his later years, he was alone and lonely in his later years.
Not long ago, the prodigal son, who had been free all his life, arranged for himself to end his life by "euthanasia".
If the life of Alain Deron is made into a movie, it should be a masterpiece with a full plot. However, this "first beautiful man in France" should be unruly, and the affection of "Princess Sisi" only exists in memories and fantasies.
