And along with this song "Edelweiss", "The Sound of Music" in the United Kingdom, almost everyone knows about it. Even the first song that elementary school students learn in music class is this simple and gorgeous "Edelweiss"!

At this point, "The Sound of Music" has become a godhead in the hearts of Europeans and Americans. Even the most demanding critics can't go against the general trend of people's hearts and criticize this work that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people out of thin air. And Yu Sheng was not surprised to get a little news from Albert Warner - if nothing else, Yu Sheng's "The Sound of Music" would easily be nominated for an Academy Award. Although I am not sure which nominations they are, and I am not sure if I can win the award, this news is enough to make the team who follow the rest of their lives excited!

But the rest of my life was not so excited. As a traveler who loves literature and art in later generations, I know for the rest of my life that this Oscar little golden man is not so easy to get! Although the level of Chinese films in later generations is a little worse than that of the world, there are too many excellent films, even if they are of excellent quality, outstanding artistry, and have a wide audience, they have not won this little golden man.

Among them, in addition to the two rigid standards of art and box office, different cultural systems and different people have created different values, which have also made a large number of excellent movies fail. For example, in later generations, "The Shawshank Redemption", which was regarded as a classic by fans and a large number of professionals, is the best example.

In 1995, when "The Shawshank Redemption" lost completely in the competition with "Forrest Gump", countless fans once scolded or cried bitterly. And there is no other reason for the defeat, "Forrest Gump" is written about the obverse of the American coin, while "The Shawshank Redemption" is written about the reverse of the American coin.

Therefore, the rest of his life does not believe in the fairness of the little golden man Oscar.

As for Albert, it was the normal way to know in advance that his "The Sound of Music" was nominated. Since 1929. Since the Academy Awards were awarded, there have been two rounds of voting - the first round is the nomination voting, the first is the nomination by the various departments of the academy (by secret registration), the nominated films will be screened in turn in the academy headquarters, and then all members of the academy will conduct a second round of voting (by secret ballot), and finally decide whether the film will win the award by the number of votes.

And the initiator of the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences" is one of the Hollywood giants, MGM Meyer. Immediately, the major Hollywood giants saw the benefits of this - the vitality of Europe after the First World War was greatly damaged. The once-thriving European film industry is in extreme decline. If the Hollywood giants can join forces to make this award bigger, then they can manipulate the discourse and value orientation of the film industry in the future! They say what kind of movie is good, what kind of movie is good!

As we all know, the most profitable group in an industry is definitely not producing products, but setting product standards! As long as the Hollywood giants make this Academy Award bigger, then, in the film market, they will play both the role of referee and athlete, and evaluate themselves by their own standards. It's hard not to be said to be good at making a movie!

Therefore, several Hollywood giants did not hesitate to take the selection of the Academy Awards as a top priority and spared no effort to publicize it. Albert as one of Warner's voicers. It was easy to hear about some of the nominations to be voted on.

However, due to the great charm and public influence of the comprehensive art of film, this Academy Award is no longer just a matter for the filmmakers themselves. The Morgan and Rockefeller conglomerates, the financial oligarchy in the United States, have influenced the Hollywood giants as well as the White House. At the time of the fourth Academy Awards, the two major consortia justifiably expressed their interest in the Academy Awards through the White House. Not only did they send a large amount of sponsorship, but the vice president was also present at the venue.

Since then, the Academy Awards have become famous in the United States, but they are no longer just a spontaneous evaluation by filmmakers. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Chinese people of later generations have great resentment towards this little gold man who is not even pure gold.

The impact of this incident was far stronger than the rest of my life expected. Albert could have known in advance that "The Sound of Music" had been nominated for an Academy Award, and others would have known. The paparazzi in the United States are extremely professional, and the day after the rest of their lives learned the news, the news that "The Sound of Music" was nominated for an Academy Award has become known to the whole United States.

At this time, the world is in the midst of war, the Soviets are busy developing the economy, the Chinese films have not yet been able to go out of the world, and the only one that has a decisive influence on world cinema is Hollywood! The nomination of an Academy Award for a film by a Chinese director, a Chinese screenwriter and a Chinese as the heroine swept the world like a storm.

Americans and Europeans are not too surprised, after all, in their eyes, it is normal for "The Sound of Music" to be nominated for an Academy Award for its popularity and artistry. After all, the box office of "The Sound of Music" today is second only to "Gone with the Wind", which was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards that year!

In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a one-step achievement! Although Cai Chusheng's "Song of Fisherman" has won international awards in Moscow. However, it does not affect the mainstream aesthetics of the European and American worlds at all. The box office of the movie is really not high in Europe and the United States, and compared with "The Sound of Music", it is simply a world of difference!

Therefore, after the Chinese learned that the film of the rest of their lives won this award overseas, they couldn't help but lose their eyes. Even newspapers with anti-Japanese resistance as their main content will squeeze out a small piece of tofu and mention the fact that the rest of their lives will be nominated for an Academy Award in the United States.

If that's all there is, the rest of my life won't be too surprised. To Yu Sheng's surprise, three days after the news broke, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill actually sent his men to visit.

Straight to the point, he invited Yu Sheng: "Mr. Yu, can you consider making one or two more films related to the British rebellion against German fascism?" Although I rarely watch Chinese films, I have to admit that your "The Sound of Music" is indeed an artistic masterpiece. However, in Britain now, all that can be shown to the public is some newsreels. There are too few feature films that can warm people's hearts and arouse people's fighting spirit! So far, the real masterpiece is only Mr. Yu's "The Sound of Music"! ”

"So. We wanted Mr. Yu to make a film that overcame difficulties, inspired people to forge ahead, and was related to the rebellion against fascism, and was set in contemporary Britain. In addition, we hope to hire Mr. Yu to shoot this film. After all, there are too many refugees in the British people now, and they can only accept the free screening, which cannot create much box office for Mr. Yu. ”

"Of course, outside of the UK, the proceeds from the box office and other derivative powers are Mr. Yu's."

Yu Sheng smiled: "I can promise this matter." And, even if you Brits don't get a penny, I can allow the film to be released for free in the UK. But what I want to know, is there anything taboo about the idea and theme of this film? If the British royal family and you, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, are they involved? ”

"No problem with this! I think the British royal family and Mr. Prime Minister will have the courage to face reality! ”

"Then no problem! In a few days, let's get the script! ”

"......", the envoy sent by Churchill, is obviously also a person who knows a lot about the film industry. Knowing well an excellent movie script. It will be created after years of thinking and polishing by one or more screenwriters. The deadline of a few days is too staggering.

Either the rest of his life is dealing with errands, or the rest of his life is a real genius he has never seen! But. Combined with the creative resume of the rest of his life, it is obvious that the latter is more likely......

What I thought of for the rest of my life was the film "The King's Speech", which won four Oscars! In this later "King's Speech", the character prototype is the English King George VI and his personal physician Rogge in this era.

The story is based on the true story of George VI who corrected his stuttering problem. George VI. Before his accession to the throne, he was known as Prince Albert. Originally the youngest son in the family, his elder brother Edward was in line to the crown prince's succession. He was earlier than him, so he could not have become king of England in the normal order of accession.

Moreover, Albert was left-handed since childhood, and George V was very strict with Albert in order to correct his left-handed habits. Over time, Albert was extremely depressed and unconfident, and he developed a stuttering problem. Therefore, in terms of ability and status, he is not the best candidate for the throne. And Albert has also publicly stated that he doesn't like that throne!

However, the world is impermanent, and providence makes people. His brother Edward was so brilliant that he kept attracting bees and butterflies. Entangled with Mrs. Simpson, who has been married twice. Because of this incident, it was very unpleasant to have a quarrel with the major domestic forces. triggered a constitutional crisis in Britain, and neither the prime minister, the people, the church, nor the British royal family accepted Mrs. Simpson. However, Edward loved beauty rather than the country, and finally chose to abdicate and marry Mrs. Simpson. Prince Albert ascended the throne as King of England, known as George VI. Edward was made Duke of Windsor by his younger brother,

The Duke of Windsor's fame has survived for generations, but George VI is the backbone of England. However, as a British king, things like speeches are inevitable, and George VI's stuttering problem is completely unsuitable for speeches, which will inevitably affect the image of the British royal family in the hearts of the people, so the treatment of stuttering is imminent!

Of course, unlike in the movie, Rogge is actually a licensed Australian doctor, and after his first meeting with George VI, the two fell in love. Rogge won the trust of George VI, and under Rogge's treatment, George VI's stuttering problem was greatly improved. A commoner and a king were inextricably linked, and George VI treated Rogge as his family all his life.

However, even if this film is a classic movie that is rare in later generations, however, for the rest of his life, as a traveler, if it wasn't for this time the British took the initiative to invite, he would never have thought of remaking it in this era. After all, such a movie that directly exposes the king's shortcomings, no matter how positive the theme is, will inevitably annoy the British royal family and make it impossible to eat and walk around for the rest of his life. Therefore, the rest of his life will specifically ask Churchill's envoy if he can implicate the royal family!

The British royal family is one of the ancient royal families that has been inherited and has great influence to this day. Although the UK is already a constitutional monarchy, the British royal family has no substantive power in the structure of the country, but is only a mascot. However, with the royal family's inheritance from the West Saxon dynasty in the eighth century AD to the present day, and with the wealth accumulated from Elizabeth I to the Victorian era, even if the royal family has no authority now, it is still one of the few invisible plutocracys in Britain economically!

Such plutocracy still has enormous influence over the British polity. It's not a direct power, but it's indirect! Therefore, such a British royal family is not so much giving up the right to rule the country, but rather from the rule of direct power to indirect economic rule.

Offending such a British royal family, who has a huge impact on Britain both openly and secretly, the consequences are self-evident. Even in the later generations of the paparazzi's unscrupulousness, when the British royal family found out that the newborn little princess was secretly photographed, under the anger, those paparazzi had to restrain themselves.

With Shang Fang's sword, the rest of his life quickly retold the movie "The King's Speech" according to the memories of later generations. Even, nothing has changed.

After all, the film's rhyme is not just a history of anti-fascism and the struggle of a king. In the eyes of the rest of my life, the most charming and outstanding thing about this movie is not in inspiration, but in responsibility. It is a rare movie that can reflect a sense of responsibility in the era of inspirational films in later generations, the self-centered inspirational films and romance films that turn sparrows into princesses.

Edward abdicated because he had no sense of responsibility, but George VI had to take on the throne because of his sense of responsibility. And, in order to fulfill his responsibilities as a king, he gave up his German surname and changed his surname to Windsor, trying to correct his stuttering problem. The queen sought medical treatment for the king because of her sense of duty, and Rogge continued to treat the king after being harassed by the bishop because of her sense of duty. These people are for the sake of their country, their families, and their friends, and the only thing they have not been motivated by is their own selfish thoughts. (To be continued.) )
