Rebirth in America

Chapter 93: 1 song

Many scenes in the movie are very classic. What impressed them most was when the colonel saw Maria with her children climbing trees to pick fruits and fishing in rivers like a monkey. He couldn't bear it anymore. So the colonel and Maria had a fierce conflict.

The colonel believed that Maria, as a governess, allowed the children to be naughty and mischievous. When blaming her, not only did he not admit his mistake, but he accused the colonel of not understanding his child at all. This caused the colonel to have a bigger misunderstanding, so he threatened to kick Maria out.

In this clip, Maria argued her case without flinching, and delivered her witty remarks in one go. The colonel was so speechless that he could only get angry, but there was nothing he could do about Maria. This also allowed him to get to know Maria's character for the first time.

Through this conflict, Maria's straightforward and bold character, full of love for children, is revealed, and at the same time, the audience can see the colonel's serious, even a bit old-fashioned look.

Originally, this scene was a very difficult one to shoot. Not only do they have many lines, but more importantly, they need to show the changes in their expressions and hearts during the conflict. The collaboration between Pike and Hepburn is so natural that there is no trace of artificiality. The baroness played by Bergman was also just right. When Maria had a conflict with the colonel, she saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she excused herself to leave.

When the conflict between the two reached its peak, the colonel shouted for Maria to return to the monastery. At this time, a burst of singing interrupted and eased the conflict between the two. When they entered the room, they found the children singing to the Baroness, and the Colonel, whose emotions were softened by the singing, joined in the chorus.

The Baroness said to the colonel in a very aristocratic manner: "I didn't know you had such lovely children. Why didn't you tell me anything about them?"

Bergman's expression and tone were very natural. Under her guidance, the colonel finally realized his mistake. The originally naughty and bad children showed their good sides under Maria's guidance. The person who really doesn’t understand the child is himself.

The colonel apologized to Maria and retracted his words. Maria also admitted that she was too impulsive and her tone of voice was inappropriate. In this way, the fierce conflict between the two was well resolved.

These scenes were not shot in one go, but were shot in several shots. The rare moment was that both Parker and Hepburn were able to maintain their emotions, making it look like they were happening at the same time. This makes other people have to admire their acting skills.

After filming these scenes, Alex realized that the filming was going too fast and it was still early. If you want to shoot several other scenes, there is still some work that needs to be arranged in advance. So he thought for a while and said: "Today's filming has been completed, but I would like to borrow some of everyone's time. I have a song here, which is dedicated to Parker and Hepburn. This song was when I watched "Roman Holiday" Later, inspired by the relationship between Princess Anne and Joe, I wrote a song about love."

After hearing this, Pike couldn't believe it. He said loudly: "What?"

Hepburn's face suddenly turned red and she couldn't say anything.

Bergman looked at Parker and Hepburn in the field with a smile, and shouted: "Wow! Are you congratulating Princess Anne and Joe? I also want someone to write a song for me."

Richard and the other children jumped for joy, unaware of the complicated relationship between Hepburn and Parker. But they knew that in the movie, Maria and the colonel finally came together. Likewise, they thought Hepburn and Parker were a couple. Who knew these two people would be so close and have such a good relationship after they finished filming?

"Congratulations to Colonel and Maria! Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Morris looked at Alex thoughtfully, then at the expressions of Pike and Hepburn. He seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't point it out. Like everyone else, he joked: "Is there anything else in this crew that I don't know about?"

Other staff members also cheered and congratulated Hepburn and Parker. People who didn't know the truth thought that Parker took this opportunity to propose to Hepburn and express his love. Even Hepburn herself thought so. She had always admired Parker.

"Alex, what's the name of your song?" Morris asked.

At this time, Alex was having people prepare the musical instruments. He said: "The song is called "Hey, SoulSister"! I had a feeling after watching the movie, and it was not completed until recently."

Richard stood behind Alex with an acoustic guitar on his back and a classical guitar in his arms. He is the lead guitarist for this performance. Alex asked him to practice this song together more than a week ago.

There was also a drummer, who was temporarily recruited from the staff. Alex originally planned to come by himself, but found that sitting behind the drum stand and singing and tapping at the same time was not a good feeling. He still felt better singing this song standing up.

"Wait, let me fix my hair first!" Alex stopped the two friends. His hairstyle was still the ugly hairstyle in the movie. He took out a comb from his pocket and combed his hair back and reversed everything.

Alex's action made everyone laugh, and also alleviated the embarrassment of Hepburn and Parker. They all calmed down and prepared to listen to the song Alex sang. People here knew Alex was a great singer, and they knew the Carpenter Brothers' songs very well.

Alex and the others' preparations lasted for a while. After all, many things were not ready-made, and the things they wanted to sing were not arranged in advance. When the staff went to get the instruments, they ran and shouted: "The Carpenters are going to sing a new song! The Carpenters are going to sing a new song!"

It's a song that has never been released, and according to Alex, it's the first time it's been performed in front of people. The news that the Carpenters were going to sing spread quickly like a gust of wind. Not only the crew members gathered around, but also nearby residents ran out. The nuns in the convent didn't even do their prayers, and all came here to watch.

The place where their crew was filming today happened to be at a famous scenic spot called Tepra Mountain Villa. The scenery here is beautiful and it is a place where many tourists like to come. It is also an attraction with a lot of personal traffic, and there is a beautiful lake next to it.

Just when Alex was about to let the accompaniment play and start singing, there were more and more people, and the scene was very spectacular. Nuns in black robes ran over one after another, and many tourists or locals approached. Fortunately, the crew had staff dedicated to maintaining order. They used a cordon to isolate other people from the cast and crew.

These were the people that Alex specifically applied to the local police station. They were all local policemen, and the locals stood outside very obediently. At this time, the staff in charge of the filming did not stop working. Under the command of Morris, they filmed the scene from all angles.

The accompaniment started, and Richard played first. He held the classical guitar and played a crisp and sweet prelude, which sounded novel.

"Hey, hey, hey~~" Alex sang along with the guitar accompaniment: "Your lip prints are deeply imprinted on the frontal lobe of the left half of my brain. I know I will never forget you. So I let you rock my soul!”

Alex's singing voice is very distinctive. If you listen to his previous songs, you will find that every song he sings has a different style and feeling. This is because when Alex sings those songs, he always subconsciously uses his "simulated memory" ability to try his best to sing the feeling of the original version.

However, he was not completely simulating it at this time, he was still singing with his own voice. But you can always sing in different styles and give people different feelings.

This time it gave everyone a very unique feeling. In Alex’s singing, they recalled that special person in their lives.

Especially Hepburn, in every line of Alex's singing, she was reminded of the memory of getting along with Parker.

"You radiate like the moon, and your fragrance fills every dream I have!"

Before she entered the film industry, Parker was already a popular male movie star and the dream lover of millions of girls. When Hepburn first met Parker, she was trembling with excitement.

"I know that when we hit each other, you were the one and only, my rightful daughter..."

During the filming of "Roman Holiday", Parker's mature manly demeanor deeply attracted her. But Pike was already married at the time, and she and Pike only maintained a good friendship, burying that emotion deeply in their hearts.

What she didn't know was that Parker was discussing divorce from his wife at the time. This is also the reason why Parker does not want to bring Hepburn into his arms. He is afraid that his divorce will cause the world to misunderstand Hepburn.

"Hey! Girl in my life, I don't want to miss anything you do, not tonight!"

When filming the scene in "The Mouth of Truth," Hepburn's reaction was completely natural. She didn't know it was Pike improvising. She was really frightened to death and threw herself into his arms, crying. At that time, she was really afraid of losing Parker, thinking that she would never be able to see him again in this life.

"I want the whole world to see you with me!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Tonight!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Tonight!"

Alex's voice gradually dropped, and the music slowly faded away. At this time, people are still remembering and can't help themselves. Hepburn was so moved that she burst into tears, scaring Parker beside her into a panic. Pike held her in his arms, and Hepburn's mood returned to normal slightly.

This song "Hey, SoulSister" is a work by the American alternative rock band Train. It is a song full of warmth, melodiousness, and delicate emotions. With relaxed accompaniment and lively melody, it is the band's most popular song ever, "Take You There", which once reached the third place on the Billboard. With this song, they also won the Best Pop Group Award at the 53rd Grammy Music Awards.

Of course, it was impossible for Alex to sing this song completely. Some of the lyrics in it were not suitable. For example, he changed the word "Madonna" to "Maria". This has a double meaning, one refers to the Virgin Mary who gave birth to a virgin, and the other refers to the role "Maria" that Hepburn is currently playing!

When Pike held the tearful Hepburn in his arms, he knew what was going on in Hepburn's heart. The two of them are so connected that they can always feel each other's thoughts. Hepburn also understood what Parker was thinking, and she hugged Parker tighter with her backhand.

Seeing such a scene, Alex said in his heart: "Parker, brother, I can only help so much, and then it's up to you."

There are so many women in the world who are obsessed with Parker because of his warm eyes and handsome appearance. What's more important is the broad shoulders, gentle smile and tolerant heart.

Hepburn didn't have to worry about revealing her heart to him and being despised by him, and she didn't have to worry about being hurt if she gave her all. Hepburn could be a child as much as he wanted without any worries. He will stay with Hepburn throughout his life and treat her like an angel.

Alex's appearance affected the fate of some people, especially Parker and Hepburn. The two of them would have gone their separate ways at this point in time, but because they took on the movie "The Sound of Music", they had more time to examine their hearts. At this time, they discovered that the person they needed was beside them.

At the premiere of "Roman Holiday", UU Reading www.uuknshu.net After listening to Alex's words, Parker also examined his true thoughts. He no longer worked so hard to bring Hepburn and Meir together. In addition, Hepburn accepted Alex's invitation to star in the leading role with Parker. In terms of time, Hepburn spent less time with Meir and spent more time with Parker.

As a result, Hepburn and Meir had not yet embarked on the road to marriage at this time. Instead, he and Pike had more time alone, which allowed Alex's plan to be executed smoothly.

I don't know if it was because he was too relaxed before, but suddenly bad news came, which caught Alex off guard.

"What? You said the helicopter can't be transported here? What's going on!" Alex shouted into the phone.

The helicopter Alex wants is the most advanced model in the United States. It flies the highest and most smoothly. Only this kind of helicopter is suitable for aerial photography. After all, the helicopters of this era are not as advanced as those of later generations, and they are not even comparable to those of more than ten years later. But now someone told him that this machine cannot be shipped to Europe because it is a high-tech product and cannot be shipped out of the country.

The DreamWorks staff had no choice but to say: "This type of aircraft has just been converted to civilian use this year. The aircraft's engine is still produced by TWA and is the most advanced in the world. Customs prohibits shipment to Europe for fear of being leaked. , acquired by the Soviet Union.”

In desperation, Alex had to find another way. But now Europe will not be able to apply for helicopters for a while. If we have to wait, it will take more than half a year, and the loss will be huge.
