Chapter 175: The Stars Are Bright
Alfred. As a top elite in the music industry, Wallenstein can naturally appreciate the unique meaning of the score given by Yu Sheng. This is the feeling that Americans who have been at peace for a long time and whose wars are all taking place outside their homeland are most lacking. Moreover, although the United States is strong, its history is indeed too short, and although some of the music works are also excellent, they lack some sense of heaviness that takes time to produce.
As the only country in the world where civilization has been inherited for thousands of years, when the country is ruined and the mountains and rivers are falling, the last thing that China lacks is this irresistible sense of annihilation.
So, Alfred. Wallenstein saw the unprofessionalism of the score given by Yu Sheng, but still exclaimed: "This music is a masterpiece!" Yu, are these your genius works? β
"Oh, of course not, none of these works are mine. Although I have confidence in my own work, I can't write a work with such a strong emotion. These are all created by patriotic musicians in China. It is also widely sung in China. It's just that Americans don't seem to have the opportunity and intention to get their hands on this style of music, and if it's possible, I want all Americans to hear the real voice from China! β
Alfred. "Oh, of course, I'm sure we at the Los Angeles Philharmonic can do that," Wallenstein said. It's just that, Yu, I have a question, all the music scores you provided me are accompanied by lyrics! I can handle the orchestra playing and vocal instruments, but who are you going to ask to sing these songs? β
"If you invite the Chinese, then as far as I know, the Chinese have no talent in vocal singing in the United States so far!" And if you want to invite people from other countries, you have to prepare early! Also, at the time of singing. Is it Chinese or English? If you want to sing in English, then you also need to translate and adapt the lyrics! β
"Don't underestimate the translation and adaptation of lyrics, it's not an easy task, and it's hard to translate the original meaning of a song into another language without the premise of transcending language and ethnicity!"
The rest of his life naturally knew about these problems, but he didn't think of a solution, so he could only deal with Alfred. Wallenstein said: "I will think of solutions to these problems, as long as the Philharmonic Orchestra rehearses well!" β
Alfred. Wallenstein said, "Trust me. After only 11 days of rehearsals, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra completed the world's shocking founding concert. I was on the orchestra's rehearsal list back then! And there's still a month left before your charity gala! β
********
Time flies, and Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi are busy for this charity concert. A month passed without noticing. On this day, it will be late and the sunset will be red. Dusk is coming to an end. The blue sky had turned a dark blue and black color, and the stars were looming. Outside the open-air theater in Hollywood, the mountains are full of traffic, and the entrance is written in Chinese and English - Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and Chinese People's Charity Gala Against Japanese Fascist Aggression.
When the time comes. Some people have already entered the venue with invitations in hand. The script for the rest of his life to the three brothers Howard and May Jehovah, after being analyzed by their respective professional teams, is estimated to have a net profit of more than 10 million US dollars. This profit is basically equivalent to MGM or Warner. The annual profit of any Hollywood giant!
This person's favor is too great, so these people also try their best, but if there is something to do with it. They were all sent invitations by these people. And the person who received the invitation, when he saw that the invitation was signed under the invitation, there was actually a four-party joint name of Yu Sheng, Meyer, the Warner brothers and Howard Hughes, even if it was out of curiosity, they came back to take a look. And in reality, in Hollywood, basically no one wants to be guilty of all four sides at the same time.
So, there are so many people queuing up to get in! Among them are many dazzling stars. And some people have been friends for a long time as fans in later generations. Naturally, I had to take Qing Xiaoyi and his team to greet him in person.
The first one worthy of their team's dispatch was Marlene. Dietrich!
Marlene Dietrich, who was born in 1901. By this time, he was already in his forties. If it were an ordinary person, she would have already become a vulgar woman who had entered menopause. Marlene Dietrich, on the other hand, is still charming.
This person not only likes men, but also likes women, it is said that when director Samuel Taylor and Marlene Dietrich were working together in Paris, France to shoot "The Legend of Monte Carlo", they once met a beautiful French girl, Samuel Taylor did everything possible to get the girl's contact information, and agreed to have dinner the next night.
As a result, the next morning, when Samuel Taylor went to Marlene Dietrich's suite to discuss the script, the girl was already in Marlene Dietrich's suite. This beauty said to Samuel Taylor very domineeringly: "This girl is mine!" β
Maybe it's because of the filming of "Shanghai Express". Marlene Dietrich has always been interested in the imagery of Shanghai and China. In Hollywood, there has been no discrimination against Chinese, and the relationship with Huang Liushuang is good. Therefore, it was greeted by Huang Liushuang himself. Welcome next.
And this charity gala that Marlene Dietrich can come to for the rest of her life, in addition to giving face to Hollywood bigwigs including Meyer, and satisfying her curiosity about China, is also because of her inherent tendencies.
This beauty has always been very disgusted with the Nazis. Although Marlene Dietrich was born in Berlin, Germany, and started as a part-time singer in a nightclub, she gradually became famous, but in 1936, when the head of the propaganda department of Nazi Germany, Josef Goebbels, invited her to return to Germany and promised various favorable terms, she refused.
And according to Hitler's original plan, he wanted to praise Marlene Dietrich as the first actress of the Third Reich! This woman's appearance and temperament are very much in line with Hitler's taste. According to the gossip, Hitler proposed to Marlene Dietrich more than once......
Marlene Dietrich, on the other hand, and one of her partners, Douglas. Fairbanks assumed that she would be able to kill Hitler in his bed. The tool used to assassinate Hitler was a venom-soaked hairpin. I have to say that she was really a naΓ―ve girl to be able to design this plan.
In 1939, Marlene Dietrich became an American citizen. After the United States was dragged into World War II by the Japanese, Marlene Dietrich joined the U.S. Army, performing one condolence show after another. And the song "Lily. "Marlene" became a popular song enjoyed by both American and German soldiers. And the funding for refugees is never stingy.
And this charity gala with great fanfare for the rest of her life is just to the taste of Marlene Dietrich. Even if there is no invitation from all over the world, she will be the one who voluntarily participates and gives generously.
Huang Liushuang talked and laughed with Marlene Dietrich, and sent her in. Then, another historical celebrity came to Yu Sheng. This person's name is Charlie Chaplin, and he is the one who pretends to be Hitler in "The Great Dictator". I also have to say that in fact, these two people with artistic temperament, if you look at the photos objectively, they are really a little similar. It can be regarded as a rare coincidence in this era. It's just that Chaplin, who sees himself as an English aristocrat. Certainly would not identify with the Nazi rule of Hitler, who was hostile to Britain.
Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" was his pinnacle, and after satirizing Hitler, his career came to a standstill. In the ups and downs of love, a lot of time was wasted.
In 1942, Chaplin and Paulett. Goddard's marriage ended in an atmosphere of good gatherings and good dispersals. Subsequently, Chaplin and Joan. Barry becomes a lover. However, this Joan. Bairy is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and not only does it have mental illness. And there is also a love triangle hobby, and while befriending Chaplin, he is also involved with other people.
And, in 1943. gave birth to a child who was not of Chaplin's blood. Although a blood test proved that the child was not Chaplin's biological child, the court ruled that Chaplin had a duty to support the child. This made Chaplin depressed to the point of collapse. It wasn't until the following year that California legislated that blood tests were considered valid evidence. Chaplin's cheap dad is the end.
And while being Joan. After Bairy's injured body was completely exhausted, Chaplin resolutely began to eat tender grass for the old cow. In 1943, when Chaplin was fifty-four years old, he married the playwright Eugene Murphy. O'Neill's daughter, Una O'Neill. And Una O'Neill ignored the threat of her parents to disown her. resolutely eloped with Chaplin. 100% true love. And Una O'Neill at this time. Only eighteen years old......
This time, it was Una O'Neill who accompanied Chaplin. The face is like a flower, the youth is young, and the figure is beautiful. Although the rest of his life still sent Chaplin and Una O'Neill to the seat with the great enthusiasm of fans chasing stars in later generations, there is still some gossip in his heart. No wonder the fifty-four-year-old Chaplin was still so fierce after marriage, and actually had eight children with Una O'Neill, it turned out that there was a reason.
And just when everyone was queuing up to enter, another star came out of the crowd. Well, this obviously can really be measured in strips. Jumping out of the crowd was the protagonist of "Lacey the Greyhound", the Scottish Shepherd. And holding Lacey is MGM's newly signed young actor with purple eyes, the twelve-year-old Lori, Elizabeth Taylor.
Originally, Lacey, an inhuman creature, could not participate in this kind of activity. Elizabeth Taylor, however, can. At this time, twelve-year-old Elizabeth Taylor couldn't stand Lacey's cute skills at all. Sneaking in with Lacey. And the doorman had no resistance to this kind of smiling little girl at all, and he was negligent for a while.
And for the rest of his life, as the organizer, there are not so many taboos. The little dog was ordered for the rest of his life, and was honestly staying in the background holding a huge cow bone and grinding his teeth. Lacey smelled the same kind and sprang out. And Elizabeth Taylor's little hand slipped, but she didn't hold it.
The little dog is also aware of the presence of its kind. Jumped out. The two dogs wagged their tails, sniffed left and right, and soon mingled. Then, Lacey followed the little dog to the backstage. There was only a burst of laughter from the onlookers, and Elizabeth Taylor, a little girl whose face was flushed with shame.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. There was a woman who walked through the gap where the crowd had automatically separated, and her expression was deserted. Huang Liushuang and Huang Zongzhan, as well as the rest of their lives, etc., but everyone who knows something about Hollywood is a little stunned.
Not only because of the beauty of this woman, but also because of her alienation from everyone. It wasn't until the woman walked through the crowd that the crowd erupted in exclamation: "Greta Garbo, who never goes to a party, is here!" β
In today's Hollywood, where the star system is prevalent, it is actually very simple for a person to be famous, and it is also very simple to make a difference. Just follow the hype strategy set by the company. However, this hype strategy, most of the time, is just used to attract attention, and does not consider the preferences and personality of the actors themselves.
It is natural that the system wears out individuality. And most of the hype methods are inseparable from the topic between men and women. Therefore, in this era of the prevalence of the star system, many Hollywood stars, either induced by the surrounding atmosphere, or consciously voluntary, will be more open.
For example, Marlene Dietrich likes not only men, but also little girls. For example, Louise Brooks is simply the ancestor of Teacher Cang in later generations. For example, Talullah. Bankhead, throughout his life, had more than 5,000 partners. More men than most women have known in their entire lives...... Another example is Judy Garland, or Marilyn Monroe, all of them......
However, there are always some people, who are exceptions, and only those who can get out of this vicious circle can climb to the pinnacle of the seventh art of film. Their personalities remain, and their beauty cannot be ignored. The Greta Garbo in front of you is one of them.
Katharine Hepburn, who won four Oscars for Best Actress and was ranked No. 1 on the 1999 American Film Institute's list of the 25 greatest actresses of the twentieth century, is also far from spending time and drinking and has an extremely clean personal life. Eating at home for decades......
Greta Garbo paid no attention to what others said about her, and now, she has been retired for three years, and no one, including Hollywood King Meyer, can invite her. Although she also sent her an invitation in accordance with etiquette, no one knows why Greta Garbo would attend such an occasion where she has never liked people!
Although Greta Garbo is now thirty-nine years old, her eyebrows are as cool as a knife, and she does not show any decay and old age. When he walked in front of the rest of his life, he didn't lose his manners, but said, "Arrange a place with fewer people for me!" With such a demeanor, I was fascinated by Qing Xiaoyi, a young woman. (To be continued.) )
