This kind of ascending and falling heavy is a huge blow to a star girl who has just entered adolescence and is arrogant! Shirley Temple couldn't find a direction for a while, so she got married at the age of seventeen, had a child at the age of twenty, divorced at the age of twenty and left the film industry at the age of twenty.

Huang Zongzhan and Xiulan Temple are both Hollywood celebrities, and they always deal with each other in the same circle, so they naturally know each other. So Huang Zongzhan also knew Xiulan Temple's predicament. After getting the script given by Yu Sheng, when I saw that there were seven children, the first thing that came to mind was that Xiulan Temple could play one of them!

And although Shirley Temple is not too optimistic about the book "The Sound of Music", she is willing to make a last fight for her acting career! Therefore, at the age of fifteen, he agreed to Huang Zongzhan's invitation to play the eldest sister of seven children, sixteen-year-old Lisa. And the performance fee is completely low and does not match her previous value!

In real history, the casting of "The Sound of Music" was actually quite difficult. In the fifties and sixties of later generations, after the peak of "Sing in the Rain", musical films gradually became less attractive. After all, there aren't many good music and dances that can pull people's hearts and minds. Most of the musicals and musicals are shoddy. In order to save costs, investors will also deliberately compress the shooting time, imitate other people's scripts, and try to choose low-cost composers to compose music. It's no wonder that such a song and dance film and musical film can attract the audience!

Therefore, when the movie "The Sound of Music" was filmed, many film companies thought that this was a book that must hit the streets. Paramount even invited Audrey Hepburn to play the heroine Maria. However, Audrey Hepburn refused to star in the film, and Paramount abandoned the filming plan.

And after Twentieth Century Fox took over the film, the film was also repeatedly played by various famous actors, such as You. Brianna's refusal. Even, Julie Andrews, the star of the heroine of this film, Maria, once joked about the role of "The Sound of Music" on TV shows.

Coincidentally, this musical film in this era has not been taken seriously by other film companies either. After Albert Warner learned that he was going to invest in a musical film for the rest of his life, he kindly reminded him of the rest of his life: "Oh. Dear Yu! The music that Chinese like is not the same as the music that Americans like! ”

The rest of the companies that saw Yu Sheng as their big enemy after filming "A Bite of China" and "Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor" for the rest of their lives also breathed a sigh of relief. felt that even if he didn't make a stumbling block, this musical film for the rest of his life would inevitably hit the street. And Huang Zongzhan was also rejected by many Hollywood actors when he was casting.

Even if Huang Zongzhan risked being plagiarized and revealed a few classic tracks in advance, he was just barely getting the actors together. The villain in the movie, Rove, is also played by James Cagney, a friend of Huang Zongzhan who is good at playing villain roles and has experience in musicals. Of course, Huang Zongzhan will be fully rewarded.

The publicity for the release of "The Sound of Music" was also not enthusiastic. Although he has made two very popular documentaries in his life, "A Bite of China" and "Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor", they are documentaries and not musicals! If it weren't for some fame for the rest of his life. Franklin, who also helped Warner make a lot of money, Warner is afraid that even routine publicity will be omitted.

Although Albert Warner has the heart to help the rest of his life, his power is also limited. Warner is not his own. Moreover, judging from fans' reactions to the early promotion of the movie "The Sound of Music", it seems that this is really just a movie that hits the street to the end. How is it possible to mix and match two different genres, war and music, in a wonderful way?

As a result, the attendance on the first day of "The Sound of Music" was only 60 percent. Moreover, most of them are children attracted by the dolls in the scene of the lonely shepherd on the poster, and parents who accompany their children to the cinema to watch a movie.

Albert Warner learned the news. sighed a long sigh, it seems that the undefeated golden body at the box office for the rest of his life is going to lose after all, I hope this old friend doesn't lose too badly. And the giants of other film companies have relaxed their hearts, this Chinese. How is it possible to make a film that meets the taste of Americans? It's good to make a documentary, but opening a restaurant is Chinese old job......

Even Huang Liushuang and Huang Zongzhan are not calm. Huang Liushuang once felt that it was her previous image in the movie that dragged down the box office of the movie. Huang Zongzhan smoked a cigar and scratched his head: "How is this possible?" ”

Only the rest of his life is very calm, and in later generations, this "The Sound of Music" was unanimously selected by Hollywood film critics, Time magazine and public opinion votes as "one of the top ten most popular movies in the United States"! The charm can be imagined. Even if you make some changes, it won't make much of a difference!

Sure enough, it was the next day. The attendance rate of "The Sound of Music" reached 80 percent! Shengsheng is up 20% from the first day! This speed of improvement is extremely unstoppable in a musical film! And the bosses of the film companies, who had already put their minds at ease, were shocked! Each sent someone to the cinema to see what was going on.

When these people really face up to this movie, the huge charm of "The Sound of Music" is revealed. The protagonist of "The Sound of Music" seems to be Maria, but in fact it is not! The film has three protagonists – Seven Children, Maria and the Colonel.

The relationships formed by these three protagonists are the most ordinary in the ordinary family: between parents, that is, between adult men and women; the relationship between the seven children, that is, between siblings; The relationship between parents and children. And the personalities of these three characters are very distinct. Maria is gentle and kind, the Colonel is serious but loving, and the children are lively and sensible.

With such a character construction, anyone who has a family will have a sense of substitution! The children envy the seven cute babies on the screen for having a gentle and kind mother like Maria, and the parents repeatedly ask for the attention of the colonel and sell cuteness in front of Maria, while the parents reflect on their relationship with their children.

Adult but unmarried young men and women, while being conquered by the sale of seven cute babies, also hope that they can meet a man like a colonel, with a hard temperament, versatile and deep love for themselves, or a woman like Maria, who is young and beautiful, gentle and kind, and self-improving.

This movie is deceptively simple. In fact, it gathers almost everyone's fantasies about the family, and gathers everyone's sense of substitution! It's strange not to attract talent! What detonated these sense of substitution were the simple but ingenious songs in "The Sound of Music" that can be called classics.

For example, "Doremi" is simply the most classic song for children's enlightenment music in later generations. Easy to learn and easy to remember. Therefore, after watching the movie, older children who have gone to school can basically recall the lyrics of the song "Doremi" and the metaphor of each note in the lyrics - "Doe, adeer, afemaledeer. Ray,adropofgoldensun……”

Some children even use this to compare, you remember more. I don't remember much, you remember right, I remember wrong, and so on and so forth. And this argument inevitably leads to these children wanting to watch the movie again to find the right answer. And children who have not seen it, listening to the heated discussions of others, naturally have the feeling of being excluded from the group.

So the children made demands of their parents. Although this era is not the era when only children, sons and daughters in later generations of China are emperors and princesses in the family, the children have requirements. Parents will still think about it seriously. And "The Sound of Music" is a criticism of parents not caring enough for their children, which has become a normal situation for parents and children in the urbanized United States.

When the parents saw this paragraph, they faintly felt guilty in their hearts. It's about yourself. So, when the children asked to go to the cinema again to watch the movie "The Sound of Music", and explained why. For the sake of the child's musical enlightenment, and the guilt in his heart. Parents with a little bit of family background will meet this legitimate and extreme need of their children. Accompany the children to the cinema to brush up on the box office again!

In the United States today, there are at least two or three children in each family, plus two parents. This one is five or six movie tickets! With such a box office, it is strange that the box office of "The Sound of Music" is not high enough to explode!

Moreover, in order to avoid spending more money and going to the cinema again, the parents watched it attentively, and even took paper and pen to record the lyrics of "Doremi" and some other songs - Doe, adeer, afemaledeer\Ray, adropofgoldensun\Me, anameIcallmyself\Far, along, longwaytorun\Sew, aneedlepullingthread\La,anotetofollowSew\Tea,adrinkwithjamandbread……

And with the parents' attentive records and the exchange of lyrics, the song "Doremi" quickly became a popular song in the United States.

At the same time, more than two dozen other songs in the movie also began to receive popular attention. And the classic works will indeed shine in any era, and the three songs that have attracted the most attention and popularity were quickly counted by the newspapers, namely "Doremi", "Lonely Shepherd", and "Edelweiss"!

The popularity of "Edelweiss" is still above "Doremi". After all, in addition to being a musical film, the whole story of "The Sound of Music" is also related to the rebellion against fascism. And war is the real environment that Americans are facing. The last sentence in Edelweiss "Blessmyhomelandforever" shifts the perspective of the narrative from a snowflake to the world of home and country. So, it's very popular.

The speed of singing this "Edelweiss" is amazing! When Christmas begins, after many classic songs have been sung, and snowy Americans begin to sing the song – Edelweiss, edelweiss\Everymorningyougreetme\Smallandwhite\Cleanandbright\Youlookhappytomeetme\ Blossomofsnowmayyoubloomandgrow\Bloomandgrowforever\Edelweiss,edelweiss\Blessmyhomelandforever！

Although the family concept of Americans in this era is different from that of Chinese, it is still strong. By the time the song spread all over the United States, the box office of "The Sound of Music" had reached an incredible height! And the soundtrack record of "The Sound of Music" is always sold out after it is released! Looking at this posture, I am afraid that it will surpass the record of 233 weeks in the record chart in later generations!

After all, although in the sixties of later generations, the memory of World War II is there. But it's gone. It doesn't have the huge shock that you are now immersed in.

Such a storm-swept wave of "The Sound of Music", as well as high box office results and record sales results, made Hollywood's movie giants collectively lose their voices. With their past market experience, there is no way to make a rational analysis of a movie that is second only to "Gone with the Wind" at the box office.

And as the only investor in "The Sound of Music" for the rest of his life, he has made huge profits that even giants such as Warner and Paramount are very jealous. Counting only box office revenue and record revenue, it is equivalent to the net income of any Hollywood movie giant in one or two years! As long as the rest of his life is willing, a mid-range film company will rise immediately.

Under the condition that the profits of film investment are so lucrative, the rest of his life will naturally not be disadvantaged to his subordinates, all the old people who have come over from Hong Kong. Winnings are doubled. Huang Liushuang and Huang Zongzhan's salaries have also tripled from the original price.

It's just that these two people insisted on not agreeing. With the role of Maria, Huang Liushuang completely erased the image of Chinese dolls she had created in various movies in the past. At least, when she gathers with Hollywood stars, no one will look at her with a very strange eye, but treat her as a normal star who stands out with her strength. After the filming of "The Sound of Music", film companies that originally turned him away on the pretext of excluding Asians sent him invitations. Just over a month. There are more than 100 scripts sent for him to select! But instead of inviting Huang Zongzhan as a photographer, he was invited to be a director.

However, Huang Zongzhan and Huang Liushuang also have some traditional Chinese concepts of kindness and righteousness, since they have the grace of knowing them for the rest of their lives. If you go elsewhere, you will be a little ungrateful. Besides, since the rest of his life has made self-made movies, every film has been a big hit. It is obvious that it has an accurate grasp of the market and the audience. A thorough understanding of movies and the rest of your life to fight the world are much more promising than going to other places!

These two cadres will stay. The rest of the team is even set up, and it is no longer a one-man operation.

The rest of his life "The Sound of Music" almost overshadowed the light of all the films of the same period, and several movies that were originally optimistic suffered Waterloo because of the similar release date to "The Sound of Music". Such a dominating thing will inevitably be hated by others.

Therefore, when everyone was singing praises for the movie "The Sound of Music", a report came out of nowhere - the character prototype of "The Sound of Music" appeared, and the Chinese director Yu Sheng was suspected of plagiarism!

It is undeniable that the movie "The Sound of Music" is indeed adapted from real people and real events in later generations. In 1949, as the prototype of the heroine of the film, Maria. Feng. Trapp publishes his autobiography, The Trapp Family Chorus. Subsequently, the rights to the story were bought and adapted into a Broadway musical. When the response of the musical was not bad, it was adapted into a movie. However, in these several adaptations, the story has long been unrecognizable, and the authenticity exists in name only.

According to the recollections of later generations of the Tepra family, in fact, the story and characters are not like this at all. The male protagonist, Colonel Tepra, is not as serious as in the film. Although he is also very charming, he is very kind to his children, gentle and friendly. On the contrary, Maria, the heroine's stepmother, is moody due to the tragic experience of living with a violent uncle due to the death of her parents in childhood.

And the stepmother, Maria, doesn't really like Colonel Tepra, she likes the children in the family and the gentle atmosphere. Only in this family will she feel at ease and at ease. At this time, it was 1927, and the Tepra family was still quite wealthy.

After the collapse of the Austrian bank in the thirties, von . Trapp's life savings vanished, and the Tepra family's standard of living plummeted. It took great pains to keep their villa on the outskirts of Salzburg. And when it was difficult to make ends meet, he had to form the "Trapp Family Choir" and earn a meager income by singing. And this has nothing to do with Mary. It was their birth mother, not Maria, who really taught the children to sing.

In 1942, Europe could no longer stay. The Tepra family had just taken the train to Italy and then to the United States, where they settled in Vermont. A small plot of pasture was purchased. and opened a ski hotel to make a living.

Because of the arrival of the rest of his life, the movie "The Sound of Music" was born, and there was no novel at all, and there was no Broadway theatrical adaptation. The Tepra family was still running around to make a living at this time, so they had time to write memoirs and stuff like that!

But even so, the American tabloid reporters still dug up the correct character prototype of the Tepra family, and after reading the newspaper for the rest of his life, in addition to scolding the reporter for being idle, he also felt a lot of emotion about the professionalism of these American tabloid reporters. It's no wonder that the paparazzi in the United States in later generations can shoot anything. It turns out that there are roots!

However, although this report really digs up the prototypes of the characters, because the story is too deformed, there is no evidence that the rest of his life is based on the real case of the Tepra family in "The Sound of Music". The theory of infringement is not established. After some hype, he was scolded by the fanatical fans of "The Sound of Music"! An attack is extinguished.

As for various professional film critics, all kinds of highly professional reviews are made. It is also not accepted by fans. Professionalism always seems to be the opposite of fashion. After the theory is abstracted to a certain extent, in the eyes of many less professional people, the so-called comments are like gibberish, which cannot be understood at all. Something I don't understand. Where will have any influence on people! This is not the future of college students walking all over the place, and there are many literary and artistic young people like dogs.

The film reached England, the only country in Europe at this time that was not occupied by the Germans and had the strength to resist. Not surprisingly, the movie was very popular. At this time, Britain was bombed by German planes in turn, and civilians suffered heavy casualties. Basically. There were a few people who died under the bombs of the Germans. Therefore, it is natural to hate the Germans.

Although many people's property was destroyed in the bombing and fighting, the British government often released news documentaries and films that benefited the Allies and the British army in order to encourage the people. Most of them are news documentaries. There are very few really good-looking feature films! Therefore, when this "The Sound of Music", which has the meaning of rebellion against the Germans and is based on the story that happened in Europe, landed in the UK, it was strongly welcomed by the British!

The British government also loved the film, not only because it was a film of rebellion against the Germans, but also because it was a sunny musical that soothed the wounds of war. At Christmas, when the Germans bombed and the British came out of the hollow, they watched the snow fall.

In addition to the praise of God and religion, the song "Edelweiss" in "The Sound of Music" is sung in unison—Edelweiss, edelweiss\Everymorningyougreetme\Smallandwhite\Cleanandbright\Youlookhappytomeetme\Blossomofsnowmayyoubloomandgrow\ Bloomandgrowforever\Edelweiss,edelweiss\Blessmyhomelandforever！

The British became the world's leading power after their victory over the Spanish Armada. This was the time of Elizabeth I. Until the peak of the Victorian era, hundreds of years of development, the world's most extensive colonial empire, North America, Australia and even India, originally just British colonies, known as the sun never sets!

Hundreds of years of prosperity, how could there ever be such a time of grievance! Even his own homeland could not be saved, and it was bombed by the Germans. So, the last sentence "Blessmyhomelandforever!" (I wish my motherland a long spring)" was sung by the British with a long rhyme. (To be continued.) )
