Empire State Building, New York, 1955.

The lights are bright and the voices are buzzing. This is DreamWorks' celebration of The Sound of Music.

Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter looked at their eldest son with warm eyes, and they worked hard with Alex to share his glory. At this moment, as parents, they also feel extremely proud.

Richard's mood was a little complicated, he was both proud of his brother's achievements and a little jealous. How he wished it was him who was standing there, not Alex.

Karen was too young to understand what it meant, but she did know that her brother Alex was a great man. People liked him, loved him, admired him. The same goes for her.

The applause lasted for a long time, and when Alex reacted, he cleared his throat and said, "Thank you, the success of the movie is inseparable from your support." Thank you again! Thank you! ”

His words were short, not as long as the others, and when he had finished, motioned for Morris to continue.

Morris didn't expect Alex to be like this because he was nervous, he didn't think much about it and continued his hosting work. He put Alex's decision on a reward package, which was mainly a bonus for DreamWorks employees who participated in the "The Sound of Music" project. There are crew members, people from the industry, and other related people, all of whom have a lot of rewards.

Alex used this method to tell everyone that those who worked with him would not be treated badly. This will form a system that will become a reward mechanism for DreamWorks, and it is also one of the biggest purposes of the celebration banquet. Because of this, DreamWorks employees are very difficult to find, and their hard work here will definitely pay off, and talented and ambitious people want to join the team.

The banquet lasted for several hours and did not end until about ten o'clock in the evening. Alex was the last to leave, and after seeing off Pike and Hepburn, he sent his family back. In the end, only him and Morris remained, as well as other DreamWorks employees and waiters who stuck to their posts.

"Come, everyone has a little gift to take home. This is for commemorative purposes. ”

The gold coins were released when the guests were leaving. According to accurate calculations, it should have been 1,823 gold coins, which is far less than Alex's estimated 3ooo coins. This includes the attendees, guests, employees, journalists, waiters, and so on.

The people took the gold coins and went back in high spirits. This gift is very delicately made and has a lot of meaning. Soon after, there were people in the market who paid a premium for it.

"Hey, that gentleman over there, come and get a present." Alex saw a man standing in the distance, looking at him. It's a guy I've never met before, not like a guest or an employee, not even a waiter. Dressed in black clothes and with a strict expression, it was as if he couldn't smile.

The man in black came over, and instead of taking the gift, he handed over a letter. He said, "Mr. Hughes said he was going to give this to you. ”

Alex was shocked, he had nagged Maurice about Howard Hughes, the mysterious rich man, before the banquet. Unexpectedly, he didn't show up, but he sent someone over. It was a strange thing to even give him a letter.

I took the envelope and opened it to see that there was a short line of words written on it: "Please come with the person who came, come alone!" ”

The man in black stared at Alex's face, waiting for his reply, to go or not to go.

Howard Hughes, who took control of his own destiny at the age of 19, went through several distresses, each time narrowly escaped death. He's a madman, a playboy, a billionaire, a filmmaker, a flyer, and more. At the same time, he is also a weirdo who does not like to meet strangers. But unexpectedly, he actually gave Alex a letter.

The letter asks Alex to go with the man sent by Mr. Hughes, who alone can take him to Howard Hughes.

"What if this person is impersonating?" Alex thought to himself, he was full of doubts, afraid that something would happen.

Now everyone knows that Alex made a lot of money from his movies, and if someone wanted to kidnap him, he was blackmailed. Then if he left with others like this, wouldn't he be caught in the net?

Did Hughes ever think about the question that Alex didn't trust the people he sent? If Alex was too timid to go. What about Hughes? Well, it's just a smile at best, and a person who doesn't have an adventurous spirit is not qualified to meet him.

In that moment, Alex's mind swirled through countless thoughts. Eventually, he replied, "Please lead the way!" ”

Morris, who was standing on the sidelines, listened with some concern, and it was clear that he also thought of the danger. He tried to stop Alex, but was unsuccessful.

The man in black didn't say a word, turned around and left. Alex hurriedly gestured to Morris, telling him not to worry.

Alex said quickly, "If you haven't heard from me after a day, call the police." Don't worry about me until then. ”

Morris nodded, he was also a little envious of Alex, it was Howard Hughes! In Hollywood, who doesn't want to meet him. No, it should be said that Americans want to meet with Howard Hughes. It's a shame why this request wasn't given to him.

The man in black took Alex into a car, and they drove in the direction of the airport. Soon, Alex got on a private jet, sat on it, and flew for hours.

When Alex got off the plane, it was revealed that it was an airfield in the middle of a desert. It was clearly private territory, and there were a lot of planes parked at the airport, but no one was in sight.

He was greeted by a middle-aged man wearing a gray cowboy hat and a striped suit, who was already in some good shape. The man held out his right hand to Alex and said, "Welcome to Mr. Hughes's secret base, this is not a place where ordinary people can enter if they want to. My name is Noah Ditrek, you can call me Noah, please come here. ”

"Where are we going? What about Mr. Hughes? Alex asked curiously.

Noah looked him up and down, as if to see if the person in front of him was the legendary Alex. Noah shook his head and said, "When you see him, you'll know." Please don't be in a hurry, my friend. ”

Alex then closed his mouth and followed Noah silently.

Led by Noah, Alex got into a car and drove a long distance. They came to a rocky hill, and halfway up the mountainside, there was a nondescript villa.

When Alex walked into this villa, he realized that it was really inconspicuous inside, but it looked very neat and clean. They came to a door, and Noah stopped, followed by Alex.

"Hughes! The guest has been brought. Noah shouted loudly.

Alex looked at Noah in surprise, but he quickly remembered that Howard Hughes had a bad ear and couldn't be heard if others didn't speak loudly.

After a while, a shrill voice came from inside, which was so unique that people could remember it as soon as they heard it.

"Alex Carpenter?" The voice said.

"Yes, I'm Alex. Are you Mr. Howard Hughes? Why don't we open this door and talk face to face? ”

The voice laughed and said, "Young man, you are very bold! Aren't you worried that you've been deceived and that we're the ones who want to kidnap you? ”

Alex shrugged and said, "Of course I'm worried, but it's worth the risk to meet a legend like Howard Hughes." ”

The whispering inside stopped, and after a while, the door opened silently.

"Then you come in, I want to see what a kid with an IQ as high as Leonardo da Vinci looks like."

After entering the room, Alex realized that it was very large, unusually spacious and empty. It's just that the smell inside is a little weird, as if the air is filled with the smell of urea. Although it wasn't very strict, Alex could still smell it. The light inside was a little dim, but he could still see that the floor was full of bottles. It looks like a normal milk bottle, except that instead of white milk, it contains a yellowish liquid.

Alex carefully avoided the bottles on the floor, and walked some distance before reaching the inside of the room. Here, on a wall, a video is playing, but the sound is turned off.

It's a color movie, a film that Alex is very familiar with. It's called "The Sound of Music" and it shows Maria singing on a hillside picnic.

A tall man stands in front of a movie screen with his back to Alex, unable to see his face, only his back.
