Rebirth in America

The success of the premiere gave Alex great confidence. He decided to add the MTV he produced to the movie.

After learning the news, Morris hurried over: "You're crazy! The movie is so popular, why do you want to change it?"

Alex patiently explained: "It is precisely because I succeeded that I believe that my judgment is correct. Since it is correct, I must stick to it. Besides, I did not modify it, but added this It is played after the movie is over. It does not have a big impact on the entire storyline, it just perfects the emotional description inside."

He firmly believed that the emotional story of the colonel, Maria and Bergman was a whole, and the lack of a certain aspect of the description would make the story inferior. After seeing the outstanding performances of Parker, Hepburn and Bergman, he could no longer sit still and must make up for the missing link. This can enrich the emotional elements of the film and make the film more profound.

"But our copy has been made a long time ago and is already being played in many cinemas. If you change it now, it is already too late." Morris immediately mentioned a very practical problem, that is, time no longer allows for changes.

Alex pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "After the premiere, will more cinemas contact us for copies?"

Morris nodded and said, "Yes, we are still discussing. Let's see whether to make new copies for them, or wait until the old copies are recycled and then let them play them in turn."

Alex made a quick decision and said, "Just make a new copy. Add my easter egg to it."

"Hey! Okay! Maybe this won't have a big impact." Morris knew Alex's character. When he decided on something, he had to do it. In this case, the only choice is to minimize the damage.

Prints of this new version of the film were quickly made and sent to theaters that would later join the screenings. They are all cinemas in relatively remote locations with relatively small audiences. But when "The Sound of Music" came out, so many people showed up out of nowhere. The entire cinema was filled up in no time.

Alex thought that after adding this easter egg, it would immediately attract a lot of attention. Unexpectedly, more than a week has passed and no news has been released in this regard. He was wondering if this easter egg wasn't as good as he thought. However, he also felt that after adding this easter egg, there should be a reaction. Why is no one talking about it at all? Didn't anyone see this easter egg?

He thought well, no one really saw this added clip. After all, ginger is still old and spicy. Morris followed Alex's instructions and added this easter egg at the end. However, he also added 3 minutes of blank film between the end of the movie and the Easter egg.

Generally speaking, when a movie is played in a cinema, the audience will get up and leave as soon as the play ends. By the time the credits roll, it will be another five or six minutes. By this time, the cinema was already empty and the staff began to clean the venue. Once the screen goes blank, the projectionist will start rewinding the tape without waiting for the three minutes to finish.

In other words, no one has seen Alex’s elaborate MTV easter egg until now.

However, there are exceptions to everything. There is Port Arthur in Texas, USA. This small port does not have a large population, but it has a movie theater.

Originally, according to convention, the movies played in this cinema were old movies that had been released for a long time. This is a strategy for small theaters like them to maintain capital and make profits. Playing old movies can save a lot of box office revenue. However, the owner went crazy for some reason and spent a lot of money to get a copy of "The Sound of Music".

This is a movie that has just been released, and it is so famous that even old farmers in the countryside know about it. When this movie was released, many people came from far away just to see what the movie was about. Look at the wedding of Parker and Hepburn, and look at the absent Virgin Bergman.

"The Sound of Music" did not disappoint them. This is a good movie that has been difficult to make in decades. It quickly aroused a movie-watching frenzy among them. They not only watched it themselves, but also invited relatives and friends to watch it together. After reading it once, it doesn’t work. I have to read it again or twice...

Among these people, there is a girl named Janis, who is only 14 years old this year. But she is an unhappy little girl. She has not felt what happiness is since she was very young. When she became sensible, she knew from the strange looks in people's eyes that she was ugly. Not ordinary ugly, very ugly. She has a bad complexion, ugly figure and ugly face.

Since he was a child, Janis has been the object of ridicule by the girls around him. Throughout her childhood and adolescence, she felt at rock bottom, unable to fit in with girls, and boys did not like her. For a period of time, when she tried to seek friendship from boys of the same age, she tried to achieve the purpose of seeking friendship by drinking, swearing, and imitating male behavior, but she suffered even more intense contempt.

Therefore, she could only use poetry and painting to relieve her loneliness, and laugh at the suffering with determination to suffer. At this time, she discovered music and fell in love with the songs sung by the Carpenter brothers. Especially the songs sung by Alex, she listened to every song over and over again. Behind her back, she sang loudly to the songs on the radio in a deserted place.

When she learned that Alex had made a movie, her first thought was to watch it, right away. However, the theater showing "The Sound of Music" at this time was very far away and required several hours of driving to get there. In order to see the movie as soon as possible, she worked hard to save money. As long as the travel expenses were enough, she would immediately jump in the car and drive over.

Luckily, the film was released quickly in Port Arthur, where she lives. After she found out, she cried with joy, immediately bought a ticket and sat in the cinema.

Janis looked at the people on the screen and thought, Wow! They are so tall, so handsome, so beautiful.

Soon, she was deeply attracted by this comedy. After watching it, she still didn't want to leave. When the people around her saw the end of the play, they all got up and left one by one. But she still read all the cast and credits and was still unwilling to leave. She wasn't kicked out until cinema staff were clearing the venue in preparation for the next show.

After Janis saw it, his heart was filled with joy and he could not calm down for a long time. She decided to watch it again, and just like that, she watched it three times in a row until late at night.

When she watched it for the third time, because it was the last show of the day, the projectionist also went back to take a rest and took a nap, so he did not stare at the projector all the time. After the movie was played, Janis sat in her seat and left the place that brought her good memories. After the credits rolled, there was more than three minutes of blankness and silence, indicating that the film reel had still run to the end.

Janis was still staring at the screen, imagining that he was also a child of the colonel's family, living happily with Alex and Richard.

At this time, suddenly the music started playing again. It was the sound of bells in the distance, just like coming from the monastery in the movie.

This is followed by sad music and images reappear on the screen. It was the Baroness sitting in the carriage, looking at the church in the distance. There was a wedding taking place there, the wedding of the Colonel and Maria.

Janis was so stunned by what she saw that she even wondered if she was hallucinating. However, she was quickly captivated by the story on screen.

The baroness shed tears as she looked at the happy couple, and then the screen switched to a black and white image, which was a fragment of memories of the baroness and the colonel falling in love with each other.

It was accompanied by a sad English song, sung by Alex.

Just listen to him singing: "Quietly, I stand in Salzburg, with stars dotting the sky. Do they also twinkle over Vienna and decorate the night sky on the other side. You will be my sweet home, but I I must leave you and go far away, and my train is about to take me on. But my heart is destined to stay! Oh, my heart will definitely stay! Now the clouds are flying past me, and the moon is rising in the distance. null……"

This song is a classic song written and sung by Matthew Lane called "Brethenon." He is a Canadian environmental musician, and this is the first song about separation. When he wrote this song, he was madly in love with a girl and also fell in love with the mountains of southern Tyrol, which is in northern Italy, bordering Austria, and just south of the Breuner Mountains. He wrote this song to commemorate this relationship and this place.

The original song has a melancholy melody and picturesque lyrics. Matthew Lane's clear and mellow singing voice, as well as the sound of train tracks at the end of the song, often make the listener intoxicated in the melancholy and pure world created by the song. This song is often hailed as "the saddest English song in the world".

Alex's version is no worse than Matthew's. On the one hand, he borrowed Matthew's singing style, and on the other hand, he imitated Matthew through his own abilities, blending his unique voice with Matthew's emotions.

During a break in singing, when the Baroness parted from the Colonel, she said sadly: "How sad! You are my Romeo, but it's a pity that I am not your Juliet!"

This piece of music is very long and lasts for 6 minutes. After the memory is over, it returns to the church. The Baroness looked at the lively and joyful crowd in the distance, and drove away in the carriage with tears in her eyes. At this time, the background was full of fluttering snowflakes, adding a bit of sadness. This snowflake has also appeared in movies. It looked so festive and lively when it snowed at a wedding.

After watching this music clip, Janis was moved to tears by the tragic love of the baroness in it. She felt like the Baroness in the movie, abandoned by the whole world and alone.

Janis, who was crying loudly, was finally asked out by the film crew. She was dizzy and didn't know where to go. Finally, I went home and fell asleep. When she woke up, she cried bitterly when she thought of the Baroness.

Others quickly asked her why she was crying, and Janis described what she saw.

The man didn't believe it. He said: "Nonsense! I have watched the movie so many times, and I have never seen the paragraph you mentioned. I have never heard the sad music you mentioned. In the whole movie, except for "Edelweiss" "It sounds a little sad, but the rest is very happy music."

Of course Janis wouldn't think she was hallucinating, but she was a little unsure. So the two made a bet and went to the cinema again to see what happened.

When the movie ended, the staff had to drive them away. Janis then told the staff what she saw and asked him to help.

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately laughed and said: "Haha, I have screened it here so many times, but I have never seen the Memories of the Baroness you mentioned."

Janis swore and asked him to check it carefully. The staff was skeptical, so they went to the screening room together.

"We have to hurry up. If the show time is delayed, the audience will rush in." The staff urged. ＵＵReading www.uukｎshu.netｔ

They put the film reel to the end and continued for several minutes. Just as Janice's partners and staff were about to laugh at her, the music suddenly started.

Under their stunned eyes, the fragment Janis had described appeared. After they watched it from beginning to end, they were stunned by the music and images.

At this time, the audience outside had already been waiting impatiently. They took their tickets and rushed in.

In order to appease these audiences, the staff told them that a special version of "The Sound of Music" would be played this time, and that there would be highlights that had never been seen before. This allowed people to calm down and watch the movie.

After these people watched the happy love story of the Colonel and Maria, they waited patiently for a few minutes and then watched the sad love story of the Baroness. At this time, an incredible situation occurred, and some people started crying on the spot. A few minutes ago, the audience was full of joy. The next moment, they felt the sadness of parting as if they had lost a loved one.

The news that Janis discovered the easter egg spread quickly, and many people who had watched the movie several times returned to the theater. After watching the ending clip, some people cried bitterly, some cursed the director, and most of them were silent and thinking.

News reporters soon learned of the news, and they immediately investigated the matter. They found that some theater versions had this Easter egg, while others did not. After they reported the content of this easter egg, it attracted more people's attention. Everyone wanted to see what was different about this special version of the movie.
