Lost Romance 浪漫输给你 Episode 10 Behind the Scenes Translations

I'm only translating the Simon portion of this video as I'm more interested in that (Sorry Marcus and Vivian fans!) Also Vivian made a Qing Feng and Chu Chu joke... and my poor heart cannot handle that after this week's episode which was already the start of a series of sad misunderstandings about Qing Feng (You all know that I will never condone a Qing Feng Chu Chu ending right?! I find her an extremely irritating character). Also, there wasn't a behind the scenes bit to do with the actual kiss?? So I'm just gonna make myself feel better by translating Simon's Behind the Scenes! 


1. Simon as the Lost Romance ex-gangster masseur [1:59-4:22]
The girls are being silly. Vivian and Pii are pretending Kiki is their old mother and they want to take her to get a massage.
Vivian and Pii to Kiki pretending to be daughters: Mum, you normally work so hard
Pii: We will take you get a massage
Vivian, laughing and pointing to where Simon is sitting: There's one here...
Pii yelling at Simon: Master! Master! 
---This is like a Chinese term of respect for people qualified in work, particularly those anicient arts, things like Kung-fu, prayer and massage--- 
[Pink caption: Mother and fillial daughters storyline?!]
Pii yelling at Simon: We've brought our mother for a massage
Kiki as the old mother: This must be the master?



Simon is sitting on the couch talking to someone and hasn't noticed them yet
[Blue caption pointing to Simon: The view of the Master's back looks familiar]
Vivian and Pii as daughters: This is the master
Kiki as the old mother: Is this master good?
-Cuts to Kiki still playing the role of old mother and making a request-
Kiki as the old mother: I want to add oil
Kiki as the old mother: Oil... Add essential oil...my favourite is the rose one
-Cuts to Simon turning around and responding-
Simon to the girls: Cast and crew right?
Simon to the girls: If it's the (whole) Cast and crew, there's a discount


-Cuts to Simon giving a massage to the director-
[Purple and blue caption: Romantic Spa open for business]
Vivian pretends to be a pushy customer and playfully hits Simon.
Vivian as customer: Hey, Number 30, I was meant to be first


[Pink circle caption: The people turn out to be like this]
Vivian as customer: I booked you first
Crew member joking: He's not number 30, he's number 6


-Cuts to Simon talking to the girls-
Simon laughing: I am completely equipped, I tell you
They look at Simon's mini fan that he's carrying around
Pii: This is...
Vivian, laughing and pointing to his fan: This is your essential oil
Vivian: You've even prepared (by) carrying your essential oils on you
-Cuts to the girls laughing while Simon is walking away-
[Purple caption: Using all his effort to fight for achievement]
Simon walks next to Marcus and points to himself
Simon [pink caption]: Number 6
He points to Marcus
Simon [pink caption]: Number 7


[Blue caption: A pair of hot gentleman to choose from?] 
[Pink caption: Can we book them both (because we want them both)? XD]
-Cuts to Simon walking out doing a 'rock on' symbol with his hands-
They play clubbing music and pop a 'massage parlour advertisement flyer' on screen
The idea is Simon is a good-looking masseur god at the grand opening of this imaginary massage parlour they have all been play acting.


The flyer says:
[Red writing: Opening Ceremony]
[Pink and Purple box writing: Romantic Spa Service VIP]
[Black writing: Attractiveness index 100 points, Guaranteed to push (you) bit by bit until (reaching the correct) position]
[Bold black writing: This month's star master]
[Bold red writing: No. 6]
[Black writing: Discount 69% off]
[Red & Black writing going across Simon: Book number 6, Duan Mu Master]
---Duan Mu being the last name of his character, Qing Feng---
---Haha, why does this massage parlour advertisement sound so dirrrty?! -___-;; ---
One of the girls complimenting Simon: So hot
Simon does a spin with his rock on hand gesture and then walks away
[Red caption: Error!!]
-Cuts to Simon talking about his outfit-
Simon, talking about his clothes: This outfit is really cool
-Cuts to Marcus talking about their clothes-


Marcus: Today, we're walking with...
Marcus [Black caption]: The vibe of gangsters
-Cuts to Simon describing his gangster role-
Simon: I'll be acting as a masseur at a massage parlour
Simon: And then, the (gangster) Boss appears
Simon: To take me away
They tint the screen to create the feel of a gangster movie
[Blue caption pointing to Marcus: Immediately starts acting (the part)]


Marcus in mafia boss voice [Yellow writing]: Where is this month's rent?
But Simon isn't finished setting the scene and doesn't play along
Simon, still telling the story to the camera: I am that type of...I have seen before...
Marcus laughs [Pink speech bubble caption]: We haven't started acting yet?
The girls watching also laugh
Simon: Wait a sec, I want to finish telling the story first
Simon: In the past, I was also...
Vivian, cutely tottles up to Marcus and snuggles on him: I am the young wife


Simon trying to finish his story: Wait a sec 
Simon: In the past, I was a good-for-nothing prodigal son
[Green caption: In the middle of directing a play]
Simon: And then I was also cold and ruthless, that type of type of person
Simon: But I...have abandoned my life as an outlaw
Simon: Now I run a massage parlour
Vivian: Ok
Simon: But my 'brother'...he is still a gangster
Simon: This is the script
Vivian counts them into their scene: 5,4,3,2,1...action


They start acting the gangster film that Simon has in mind, The screen is tinted for old gangster film effect. Simon pretends to be massaging? ---it looks like typing to me though, haha---
Marcus as mafia boss: Qing Feng
Marcus as mafia boss: Haven't seen you in a long time
Simon looks dettachedly at him


Marcus as mafia boss: How's your hand lately?
Simon as masseur, in a detached voice: Lately, my hand...
Simon as masseur: ...hurts a little
Marcus as mafia boss: Same with me
Marcus as mafia boss: Lately, you ask me if my hand is good?
Simon pretends to look up at an imaginary worker at his massage parlour.
Simon as masseur talking to some lackey at his parlour: ...That... 


Simon as masseur talking to some lackey at his parlour: Give the boss the protection fee
---You know, the sum of money you pay gangsters to protect you from other gangsters. You're pretty much in debt to them for life. And if you don't pay it you will get bullied by them on top of other gangsters. It may surprise you all, but I'm a sucker for gangster movies---
Simon as masseur: Give it to him
Marcus as mafia boss, waving a hand at Simon in praise: Clever
Marcus as mafia boss: What I really want to say is...
Marcus as mafia boss [Red caption]: My finances, at hand, are a bit tight
[Yellow caption: Your 'brother' really understands (you)?!]
Simon as masseur: Take it then


Marcus as mafia boss pretends to put a note into Simon's hand: I'll give you back a note firstly
Marcus, motions to his back [Blue caption]: Help me to massage for a bit 
So ends the gangster film
Camera girl laughs
Simon [Green caption]: So it turns out..
Marcus laughs
Simon [Brown caption]: I really was here to gives massages...
Marcus grins and Simon actually starts massaging his back
Marcus, with a goofy grin and softening for Simon: A person's really good brother
-Cuts to Marcus really enjoying Simon's massage-
They've put a very light pink tint now


Simon is going for his shoulders
Marcus moans [pink caption]: Ahhh~
Marcus gives a relaxed smile at the camera
Meanwhile, Simon behind him, leans in reaaaal close


[Pink caption: Slowwllly gets closer]
And then Simon sniffs Marcus who gives him a weird look, suspecting something weird
---Haha, Simon what a weirdo----
---Also, has this just turned into a Boys Love drama?!---
[Purple and black caption: Breathes in extremely deeply]
Simon savours the scent and Marcus makes a what-is-going-on thinking face


Simon [Purple caption]: Scent of a man
Marcus gives an adorable smile
Simon: Just want to ask...


Simon [Blue caption]: Do you want to strengthen the part at the ears?
Marcus [Pink caption]: Ea...Ears?!
Simon: Right, the ears
There is a moment of silence while Marcus figures out what he means
Simon [Red caption]: You think we're just doing this in vein, do you?
---Not sure if I translated that phrase correctly. Not really sure what 做白means since I've never ever heard this expression before? I've translated it in the reverse 白做, which means in vein, but really not sure if that's right...if anyone knows, give me a shout out ---
Marcus and Simon burst out laughing
[Brown caption: How did the story line get this twisted XD]

2. Simon and Vivian filming when Qing Feng and Xiao En are preparing the work festivities [4:54-6:26]
Simon and Vivian are doing a take with Xiao En and a serious looking Qing Feng


Crew member reading out the scene: A Zheng Xiao En with no problems...
Crew member reading out the scene: Don't scare yourself
And then a bell or musical sound from nearby comes drifting into the scene
Simon is looking around...


Vivian looks at Simon.
Simon starts smirking


And that is the beginning of the end...
They both can't hold their expressions and bursts out laughing


-Cuts to Simon laughing into his fan-
He walks next to Vivian and starts talking to the camera
Simon: Did you all just hear the sound of the clock's ringing?
Vivian: We were half way through doing our lines, and then...
Vivian: It changed my expression...
Vivian: (I was) Deeply emotional and looking worried like this...
Vivian: And then this person suddenly hears the sound of the clock ringing like this...
Vivian starts making the tune of the bell: Deng-deng-deng...deng-deng...
Vivian jerks a thumb at Simon: He humphed out loud at me 
Simon: Yeah, like this


Simon shows the subtle repressed laugh sound he made
[Yellow caption: Humph!]
Vivian can't help laughing at Simon's expression
[Purple caption: Please don't force yourself?!]
Vivian laughs: After humphing, (I) discovered... we were still filming 
Vivian walks away and the camera follows Simon

Simon [Brown caption]: Can't help it
-Cuts to Vivian practising her lines with the bully friends and Simon being extra in the background-
Vivian as Xiao En: What? What?
Vivian as Xiao En: Are you currently suspecting me?
Kiki and Pii as bully friends: Yes!
Meanwhile, Simon has come up and noticed the camera is focused on them and he snakes into a gap between the girls where the camera can see him


[Blue caption pointing to Simon: This music person is a bit eye-catching]
Kiki as bully Susan: You really deserve to be suspected
Simon points at the camera
Kiki as bully Susan: Have a think carefully
Simon takes off his sunnies and looks straight at the camera
Kiki as bully Susan: Lately, you've really turned quite strange
Simon smirks as the camera does a close up on him
[Yellow sparkles animate and yellow caption: Various ways of being cool/hot]

Vivian as Xiao En: What are you guys talking about?
Simon crosses his arms

Kiki as bully Susan: Hurry up and speak... are there some things you're hiding from us?
Kiki as bully Susan: Speak. What exactly...
Simon walks around the girls to be closer to the camera
-Cuts to the camera following Simon-
Simon: I am...
Simon [Green caption]: An investor (?!)
He walks over to where Vivian and Kiki are
Kiki [Brown caption]: Who are you?
Vivian, sweetly and gesturing at the pink fake cherry blossom tree next to her: Hello, hello!...Thank for sponsoring us this tree!
---Haha, she is pretending Simon is a sponsor, a silly thing they did in Episode 8 Behind the Scenes---
-Cuts to Simon's silly response in his new pretend role as investor-


Simon: I think you've got something wrong
Simon, pointing at the large real tree: I invested in this tree
Vivian sweetly: Ah! Sorry, sorry...
Vivian shoving Simon aside [Purple caption]: But you're blocking our camera angle
Vivian: Sorry, go that way


[Orange: Directly ushered away]

[Green and red caption: This again!!!]


Simon, who always seems to be close by, hears and comes over
[Pink caption pointing to Simon who is coming closer: The real senior closes in]
Kiki turns around and see Simon: The real senior has come...
-Cuts to Simon talking to the camera-
Simon [Blue caption]: In the future when I perform, I'll bring her along

Simon [Red & blue captions with Marcus photo]: Concert...(We'll) Create a disruption
Simon: When the time arrives, we'll bring you up
Kiki bursts out laughing
Simon grinning: Right...and then the two of us will be like this...
Simon does exaggerated versions of his own, pounding heart dance moves from 'You & Me', the way that Kiki does.

Kiki laughs: That's good...
-Cuts to Pii, Kiki and Simon-

[Green caption: But Marcus has seen this now]
Simon: We can only say to him...
Pill: He will probably be dumbstruck
Simon: We will go see his performance...Support him...
Simon: After we finish supporting and encouraging him...
Simon: We will go to another make-up room
Kiki and Pii laugh
-Simon still shit-talking and outlining his plans to perform at Marcus' show-
Simon [Purple caption]: We can help him to cover the space of between 4-5 songs
Kiki: Correct


[Pink caption: Have you even asked the opinion of the original performer? XD]
Pii laughing: Does he even want...
Pii laughing: You guys to help him cover?!
Simon, Kiki and Pii are laughing hard
-Cuts to Simon talking about Marcus-
Simon: In the future, when Marcus films other dramas
Simon: And he has a concert...
Simon: He won't dare to ask, to politely ask (work friends if they want to see his concert)

End of Translations. Haha, I just love Simon, he's just a fun trouble-maker. Also, he's the guest star that Marcus has invited to perform at his Oxymoron concert, so I think this was a big hint that it was happening, haha!
