Chapter 174: The Philharmonic Orchestra
Although this aircraft, after the beginning of the war, did not turn to the military because of the failure of the competition with Lockheed. However, the Americans also suffered a big loss from such aircraft. To put it in layman's terms, this H1 is the prototype of the Japanese Zero!
Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Horikoshi Jiro designed the Zero aircraft on the basis of the H1 designed by Howard! Of course, many people think that in fact, the Japanese Zero and Howard's H1 are very similar in appearance and performance, which is a misappropriation. Moreover, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries designed the Zero fighter in 1937, the same year that Howard's aircraft was rejected by the Army Aviation Authority of the United States of America.
Of course, regardless of the truth, the Americans have already paid for it. The damage inflicted on the Americans by the Japanese Zero is immeasurable.
Of course, the impression of Howard for the rest of his life is not on the plane. Howard's nickname isn't as shocking as Meyer's, but it's definitely something every man yearns for, and his nickname is – "The World's Greatest Womanizer"!
His harem includes all the famous actresses and women of the era, including Billie. Dove, Jane. Harlow, Catherine. Hepburn, Jean. Rogers, Betty. Davis, Jane. Simmons, Susan. Hayward, Olivia. Morality. Havilland, Rita. Hayworth, Lana. Turner, Ava. Gardner, Marilyn Monroe......
According to rumors, only Joan. Vendon and Elizabeth. Taylor survived......
And just like the king of photos in later generations, Guanxi Ge, this Howard is also invincible in the process of pursuing women. Not to mention, he has a lot of money, an amazing appearance, and has the wild nature to pursue the world and soar in the nine heavens. In fact, for ordinary men, having these few is enough to kill most girls in seconds......
Moreover, Howard also has a trick to play. That's a marriage proposal! After offering a large carat diamond ring, he swore an oath and found a small church to witness to a man in a priest's uniform. Then, you can get your hands on it...... We're all married, what else can't we do......
Of course, Howard will not think about how his legal or not-so-legal wives and children will divide the inheritance after his death. It's a lot more troublesome than chasing girls or designing airplanes.
As a later life, who is familiar with online novels, he is naturally very interested in people like Howard, who are extremely close to the protagonists of online novels. Of course, as a later generation of literary youth who loves movies, for the star-making giant Meyer. It's also fascinating.
So, after several proposals from Warner Bros., there was no refusal. And Meyer and Howard also attach great importance to the news sent by Warner Bros. at the same level as themselves, claiming that they can make a fortune together. After the appointed time, go to the banquet on time. The rest of my life finally met these two real people who have been famous for a long time in later generations.
In later life, although Yu Sheng has seen photos of these two people, the photos are different from real people after all. Getting along with each other. In addition to the most obvious factor of appearance, aura and temperament are also very important. Howard, dressed in a suit and tie, with his hair combed shiny. At first glance, he is a restless lord. Compared with the politeness of the photos of later generations, it is obviously a little more wild.
And although Meyer's hair has been carefully groomed, a discerning person will know at a glance that this thing's head is nothing more than a Mediterranean.
Naturally, these two people have also heard that they can already be regarded as Hollywood celebrities for the rest of their lives. After exchanging and reading three scripts, the two were overjoyed. Needless to say, Meyer has been at the helm of MGM for so many years. What kind of movie can sell what kind of box office naturally knows in mind. And the three movies given by Yu Sheng, no matter how you look at it, they all look like they can be big sellers.
Although Howard Hughes's Taoism is not as deep as Meyer's, after several investments, he naturally understands that the basis for the success of a movie is still in the script. Although cinema, as the seventh art, is regarded by many as the existence of the script, and the status of the screenwriter can never catch up with the star, whether in this era or in the future.
However, I have to admit that from a business point of view, an excellent movie or an excellent TV series. Must have a good script!
Why in later generations, many TV series adapted from online novels such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Miyue", and "Langya Bang" can become phenomenal works? And Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Wen Ruian and other martial arts works have been remade over and over again? Even "Huanzhu Gege" is adapted from Qiong Yao's novel, which has shocking ratings for the world!
The reason for this is still the script! In fact, whether in this era or in later generations, the operation of most film and television companies is to find a team to create scripts, and then find a relatively famous screenwriter to make up a book by themselves. And, sometimes, there is a time limit for creation.
The only benefit of this kind of book is to save costs. After the script comes out, the director gets it in his hands, and he also has the power to revise it, if the money is not enough halfway, look for investors, and if the investors don't like this book, they also have the right to intervene and change it. Such a book,Inconsistent,Conflict of details,Full of thunder,Plagiarism all over the world,Needless to say......
Of course, investors are not stupid. Once there are more such film and television works, and the audience feels tired, investors will naturally find some good books for investment and adaptation. This book can at least ensure that the logic of the story is not wrong, and there is no contradiction in the details before and after. And, because you already have a certain readership, it's easier to attract attention.
Therefore, Jin Yong's works will be photographed over and over again. Shoot it over and over again! Therefore, after the audience is tired of the aesthetics of various dramas from the past and present, they will love all kinds of conscience dramas so much!
As Meyer and Howard, who are familiar with the star system, they naturally know the advantages and disadvantages of the scripts produced on the assembly line, and the scripts created by individuals. What comes out of the assembly line can be guaranteed to be usable, but it is difficult to guarantee the quality. Don't even think about a work of genius! It can only be relied on by luck, or based on a novel.
And these scripts that Yu Sheng took out are undoubtedly geniuses!
After Meyer and Howard heard about the rest of their lives planning for the charity gala, Meyer smiled and said, "Leave this matter of inviting people to me!" I think most people in Hollywood will give me a face! This is very domineering.
Howard Hughes said to the rest of his life: "Don't worry, there will be no shortage of beauties!" I also have some friends who I will invite as well. "As a wealthy man, Howard's friends are naturally extraordinary. After all, Howard's first wife, Ella. Rice's father. He is the founder of Rice University. His father, on the other hand, had unclear ties to major oil dealers.
And because of Howard's own lofty hobbies and playboy reputation, Howard easily established friendship with people in the upper class, especially the gentlemen. There is a saying that if you smell like you, you are called a confidant. Presumably, when these people arrive, even if it is for Howard's face, they will donate some. The charity gala for the rest of my life is at least half of the success.
Of course, this is just a later story, and the most controversial thing is which company chooses which film. After a contest and exchange of interests between the three brothers of the Lord. Meyer chose "Dances with Wolves", a film with a very novel theme, while the Warner brothers took "War Horse", and Howard, who has the least experience in films, asked for "Shirley the Greyhound".
In addition, Meyer also promised that when filming "Dances with Wolves", the documentary "Wolves Change America" was also filmed by the way. And, take care of the Indians on the Wende River Territory Indian Reservation. The rest of his life can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to the Wende River Indians and changing the status quo.
As for the two wild wolves. and five very cute little wolves, who will never worry that Meyer and Howard will abuse them for the rest of their lives. These seven wolves are Meyer and Howard's tools to make a lot of money, and it's too late for the baby! The most likely outcome is a repetition of the domestication of wolves by ancient humans. With plenty of food, it wears out its nature and gradually turns it into a well-behaved and cute dog......
Of course, these two people are business tycoons. Basic credit can still be spoken, and it is very reliable. The day after the two took the script away, Meyer called Yu Sheng and said, "Dear Yu. I've already got you in touch with the address of the charity gala, you see, how about the amphitheater in Hollywood? ”
The rest of my life was overjoyed. The Hollywood Bowl is a music venue located on Highland Avenue in the north of Hollywood. It is the performance venue of various small local orchestras in Los Angeles, and the summer performance venue of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Its fame is not only due to the fact that various celebrities have performed here, but also because of its shell-shaped dome-like arch built in 1929. So much so that in 2004, when it was replaced, it was opposed by fans in unison.
Fortunately, the replaced acoustic shell arch makes the sound of the theater even better, which is not considered to have fallen into the prestige of the Hollywood Bowl.
Since the establishment of Hollywood's amphitheater, it has borrowed the prestige of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Hollywood, and I don't know how many celebrities have performed here. A few more points of success!
The good news is more than one, when Yu Sheng was planning what program to perform at the charity gala and who should be asked to perform, Howard called and asked Yu Sheng: "Dear Yu, if you are missing the show, you can contact Alfred of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Wallenstein. I think people in Los Angeles will still love their own band! However, what kind of repertoire to play, Yu still needs to negotiate with him......"
The rest of his life never thought of inviting the Los Angeles Philharmonic, his original plan was just to invite a few Hollywood stars to support the scene. With the Los Angeles Philharmonic, his mind suddenly opened, what would be the effect if the Los Angeles Philharmonic played those anti-Japanese songs that are now popular in China and passed on to future generations?
The predecessor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra was the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, which was founded in 1898. Harry. Hamilton served as the orchestra's first conductor. In 1919, the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra was officially reorganized into the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra thanks to the funding of a music-loving tycoon named Clark.
At the same time, Clark invited Walter Murphy of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra. Henry. Roswell served as the first conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In late October of that year, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra officially debuted, held a grand founding concert, and became famous in one fell swoop!
Today, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been around for more than 20 years, and as the city has grown, it has gradually become famous. In 1943, Alfred . . . Wallenstein served as chief conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Since then, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has become the top orchestra in the United States.
He was a cellist in the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1919 when it was founded. Subsequently, he went to Europe to study. After returning to the United States, he served as principal cellist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, working under conductors such as Stoke and Toscanini, respectively. Extremely experienced.
Therefore, the rest of my life did not dare to slow down at all. He has always respected some of the top masters in the industry, he is just a pseudo-literary young man who can play a few piano pieces and play the guitar a few times. And this Alfred. Wallenstein was the unquestioned musician.
After receiving Howard's call, Yu Sheng carefully recalled the anti-Japanese patriotic songs he knew, and selected some of them and wrote them down in the form of staves. For example, "On the Taihang Mountain", "Yellow River Cantata", "Go to the Rear of the Enemy", "On the Songhua River", "March of the Big Knife", "Singing the Second Little Cowherd" and so on.
The music industry is always willing to compare music to a language that transcends races and civilizations, and although it is an exaggeration, music is an abstract thing that expresses emotions, and it is indeed easy for people who know the goods to fall into it and can't extricate themselves. Just like the people of later generations, even if they don't know the name Beethoven and the name of the music they hear, they will be shocked by "Destiny", and they will feel full of sunshine after listening to "Ode to Joy". The song "Liang Zhu", even people who don't know its origin story can hear the lingering compassion in it, and the sorrow will last for a long time!
Although these anti-Japanese songs of the Chinese are short, they are mostly used to arouse the fighting spirit of the people and fighters! The creator also has the true feeling that the nation has been invaded, the mountains and rivers have been broken, and the country has been ruined! The sorrow and determination to resist the invasion are the reality of the accumulation of tens of millions of corpses, and the listeners can't help but be moved! (To be continued.) )
