Rebirth in America

The helicopter aerial photography part was temporarily unavailable, so they had to finish filming the other parts first.

When the time came around December 1954, most of the content of "The Sound of Music" had been filmed. At this time, the helicopter was still unavailable, and Morris wanted to modify the script and delete all the aerial shots. Alex firmly refused to allow it.

"No! I will never change the script. I have to shoot it as planned!" Alex will not give in. He must make the most perfect version, otherwise it will not be worthy of the original version of "The Sound of Music" that he copied.

"But as you can see, we can't get a helicopter, and other models can't meet your requirements. So what else can you do?" Morris had no choice but to throw the problem to Alex and let him solve it himself.

Alex was silent. He walked around impatiently and said, "Is there any way to bribe the U.S. government customs officials to let them go?"

Morris stared at Alex with his eyes widened. He really didn't expect that such a cute child would think of using this method to solve the problem. Morris thought for a while and said: "This is unlikely. The McCarthyists are still very rampant now. If they notice this and connect our company with the Soviet Union, it will be completely ruined."

Alex also knew that his idea was very unreliable, so he stopped mentioning it. He thought about it and said, "Then there is no other way to transport it abroad? Is it possible that this kind of helicopter has always been in China and has never been shipped out?" Crossing the country?"

A staff member next to him immediately replied, "That's not true. The aircraft was developed by Trans World Airlines, and they had shipped it to Europe. It was said to be for some kind of flight experiment."

Upon hearing this, Alex jumped up immediately: "Then contact Trans World Airlines quickly and ask them to help us transport it. No matter how much it costs, we will pay it!"

Speaking of TWA, Alex remembered reminding Angel and asking her to buy a lot of stock in this company. After all, as a well-known airline in later generations, you shouldn't lose anything by buying its shares.

"We have already contacted TWA about this, but..."

"They don't want to? Why? Why don't we do it even if we give them money!" Alex was confused. For TWA, this was just a piece of cake. He was willing to pay the price, but they didn't even give him a chance.

The staff member said: "Yes, they said that they can't do anything unless Howard Hughes orders it. This is a rule set by Hughes to prevent others from stealing the company's technology."

"Howard Hughes?" Of course Alex knew this guy. It was said that this guy was the prototype of Iron Man, and there were several movies about this guy in later generations.

Howard Hughes, born in Houston in 1905, was a genius who combined myth and weirdness. He has been an American aerospace engineer, entrepreneur, film director, etc., and he has all been very successful.

He became an orphan at the age of 17 and dropped out of school to take over his father's business. At the age of 21, he became the chairman and director of a film company. At the age of 30, he set a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour in a plane he designed. At the age of 32, he flew across America in 7 and a half hours. At the age of 33, he set a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour. A 91-hour round-the-world flight record, and then it took 5 years to build an aircraft designed to carry 750 passengers and fly one mile.

In the United States of America, Howard Hughes's name is as well-known as Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's. This is not only because he is one of the few rich people in the United States of America who enjoys world-renowned reputation, but the people of the United States of America regard him as a hero.

Faced with such a character, Alex had to sigh, this guy is much more awesome than the time traveling people. But no matter how good the other party is, things still have to be done well. He asked the staff: "Have you never thought of asking Howard Hughes for a plane?"

"The other side, the other side doesn't pay attention to us at all."

Alex felt dissatisfied and said: "Call Mr. Hughes and tell him that Alex Carpenter wants to see him for something and let me talk to him!"

At this time, Alex was not very sure. Maybe others won't give him a try, but there's no other way. If you don't try, how will you know whether it will succeed or not.

DreamWorks staff hurriedly contacted TWA. As for calling Howard Hughes directly, that was out of the question. How could a billionaire be able to contact him so easily? He was not from the same class, and the direct distance was like heaven and earth.

After the call was made, the other party simply said that they would forward the request to Howard Hughes and asked them to wait for news. For a moment, without any response, Alex and the others could only wait.

At this time, the relationship between Parker and Hepburn became more and more intense, and even a blind person could see what was happening between the two. Unexpectedly, Parker would come to Alex and ask him to help find a way to propose to Hepburn.

"No way, how did you propose to your ex-wife before?" Alex didn't understand. As a person who had been there, he didn't know how to propose to a woman. How innocent does it take to do this?

Parker was a little embarrassed. He said, "That's different. When I face Hepburn, I feel nervous and can't say anything."

Alex didn't believe it anymore and asked strangely: "Huh? Then you were not like this when you were with her before. I don't think you two had a very interesting conversation?"

"That was before the relationship was confirmed. We were just good friends. Now it's different. I really want to propose to her." Pike quickly explained.

Alex shook his head and said: "Oh, Pike, Pike! What will happen to you if you don't have me?"

Indeed, in the history without Alex, in the end, after Pike saw Hepburn marry Meir, he also married a female reporter. After that, he maintained a close friendship with Hepburn, and Parker also grew old together with the female reporter until his death.

"Please, I know you have a lot of attention!" Pike begged. He admired Alex so much now, and was especially grateful to Alex for bringing him and Hepburn together. Without Alex, he didn't know how long it would take him to realize what he had missed.

"You can't tell her directly, I love you, Hepburn, and I want to marry you."

"If love could be said so easily, I wouldn't have missed the opportunity when I was filming "Roman Holiday." Fortunately, you gave me another chance, otherwise I would really regret it."

Alex looked at Pike and thought of something: "Since you can't say it, how about singing it?"

"Sing it?" Pike looked at Alex in astonishment, not knowing what to do.

"Yes, just sing it. You are good at singing, so I will write a song for you. As long as you don't forget the lyrics, Hepburn will definitely agree to your proposal." Alex said as he said Thinking about it, I quickly found a very suitable song.

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait for you to write a song?"

Alex shook his finger and said: "No, no, no, I just heard what you said, the love in your heart cannot be expressed, and that gave me an inspiration. It will be written soon, just wait."

Pike watched as he brought in paper and pen. After a few minutes, a song was written, complete with lyrics, staff, etc.

Alex handed the music sheet to Pike and said, "You can take it to practice, but don't lose this music sheet. I have to keep it, it will be worth a lot of money in the future."

Pike got the music sheet and was attracted by the song after taking a quick look at it. He really didn't expect Alex to be that powerful and be able to write the song on the spot. He has good singing skills and high appreciation ability. He immediately judged that this was a wonderful song.

“Whoawhoa, yeayea, IloveyoumorethanIcansay. I’llloveyoutwiceasmuchtomorrow, Oh, loveyoumorethanIcansay….”

As Pike watched, he unknowingly sang in a low voice. The song has a beautiful melody, simple lyrics, is very singable and is simply catchy.

Yes, this song is called "I love you so much that it's hard to speak" (morethanicansay). is a very classic song, written by Jerry Ellison and Sonny Kurtis in the early 1960s, and originally made famous by Bobby Vee in 1971. Later, Leo Sayer re-interpreted it in 1980 and it became a well-known song. What Alex knows is Leo Thayer's version, but this version uses electronic music special effects in many places, so Parker's singing is closer to Bobby Vee's version.

This is a song that can be sung forever, and has been covered by many singers such as Xu Guanying, Teresa Teng, and Declan. Everyone's performance style and feeling are different, but every cover was loved by people at the time, which shows the strong vitality of this song.

Parker may not be a singer, but his level is definitely not bad. With Alex's help, he adjusted many places, making it sound a bit jazzy and a bit country. He mastered it quickly, and after only singing it two or three times, he was completely proficient.

Alex designed a proposal scene for Parker. With his experience in watching so many movies, he was certainly able to create a very romantic atmosphere.

A few days later, Parker invited Hepburn to go shopping. They chatted while shopping, and slowly came to Salzburg's Fountain Square. They were standing by the fountain, when a little girl came over with a basket of flowers.

The girl in the red hat looked at Parker with pleading eyes and said, "Sir, buy a rose for your girlfriend."

Parker looked at Hepburn and saw Hepburn looking at him with a smile. Parker said to the little girl: "Okay, how much does your basket of flowers cost? I bought them all."

The girl happily quoted a price, and after receiving the money, she gave them the flowers and the flower basket.

Parker handed the basket of flowers to Hepburn and said, "Hepburn, this is for you."

Hepburn took it and discovered at a glance that there was a small red box inside the basket of flowers. There was a piece of paper attached to it, which said: "To my favorite woman, Miss Hepburn!"

She was startled, and when she looked carefully, she saw that the note was signed by Pike.

"This is..." Hepburn picked up the small box and put the flower basket down.

When she opened the box in confusion, she saw a sparkling diamond ring inside. At this time, there was a burst of music from around the square, and Pike sang affectionately: "Whoawhoa, yeayea, I love you in my heart, I can't say it in words! My love for you is getting stronger every day. Oh, I love you in my heart, I can't say it in words. It's so hard! Whoawhoa, yeayea, I miss you every day..."

Suddenly there were more people in the square, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net If you look closely, you can see that many of them are members of the crew. Especially the Carpenter brothers and sisters, they are very conspicuous. Alex and Richard both played guitar and accordion respectively, while the rest of the kids sang backing vocals for Pike. There are also people taking pictures here from various angles. They have been ambushing here for a long time.

The accompanying music and Pike's voice were played through loudspeakers. There were also some people in the square who didn't know the truth. They didn't know what was going on, so they all stood still and looked at Parker and Hepburn.

"Oh, I love you so much in my heart that it's hard to talk in words. I will love you in my heart so much that it's hard to talk in words... Oh~~~~~"

Parker sang very touchingly and the song was beautiful and beautiful. After hearing the song and seeing the diamond ring, Hepburn suddenly understood.

With the moving background music, Hepburn covered her mouth tightly with her hands, her eyes sparkling with tears, and she cried: "I do, I do, Parker!"

When Hepburn said "I do", Pike had already forgotten all the lyrics he was about to sing, and his mind went blank. However, he quickly reacted, picked up Hepburn, spun her around in the air, and kissed her passionately.

At this time, the singing still did not stop, followed by Alex. He sang repeatedly with a voice that was a hundred times better than Pike: "My love for you is getting stronger every day! Oh, I love you so much in my heart that I can't even express it in words..."

This is not singing for Parker, but singing for myself. He looked at Parker and Hepburn, singing, and his eyes began to get wet.
