Hepburn and Parker are in very good shape, the two of them are in perfect harmony, and all the wedding scenes are almost all passed at once.

After the wedding was filmed, the next step was to shoot the makeup artist who made a big move to Hepburn's hair and cut it into the shape Alex wanted. When Hepburn put on an off-white tunic and skirt, a tomboy who had just come out of the country stood in front of them like this.

Alex sat down in the director's seat and ordered, "All in place!" action！ ”

When there is no play for him, Alex will unceremoniously take charge of the director, and at this time, Morris is basically on the side to help him fill in the gaps. When there is a role for him, let Morris come. He has now made people slowly adapt to this change of identity, and no longer treat him as a child who doesn't understand anything.

Now they were going to shoot Mary dancing and singing on the hillside. However, what I didn't expect was that Hepburn's acting felt wrong all the time, and he completely stayed in the mentality of the wedding. It didn't adjust it several times in a row, wasting a lot of film, which annoyed Alex a little.

"I want a boyish, cheerful tomboy! And not a princess Anne, you know? Alex pulled Hepburn aside and pointed her out what was wrong.

Hepburn's acting skills are not as sophisticated as a few years later, and in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", when she played the high-class escort girl Holly, her perfect acting skills brought the characters in this novel to life. She even said that Holly is her, she is Holly!

"What a shame, director! Please let me try again. Hepburn told Alex seriously that she was doing her best to play the role. From the moment she got the script, she was single-mindedly figuring out the character's personality and psychological characteristics. Later, under Alex's arrangement, he participated in singing and dancing exercises, and practiced the songs and dances that needed to be sung.

It's just that she just won the Oscar for "Roman Holiday", and she hasn't been able to get out of the role of Princess Anne yet. When she tried again, it was really much better, and everyone seemed to see another side of Hepburn.

"Well, that's good! It's very good, but it's still a bit hard to let go. Alex was still a little dissatisfied, so he kept guiding Hepburn: "You are a nun who is lively, loves nature, and likes to sing and dance, because you always cause trouble in the convent, you were sent to the colonel's house by the abbot of the convent. But in the face of a soldier like a colonel, who is as strict and self-disciplined as a soldier, you can still fight with reason without losing your nature. And because of this, the colonel and the children will like you. ”

After hearing this, Hepburn imagined in his mind what Maria would feel like. She remembered that when she was a child, she lived a poor life with her mother, but she never gave up her dream. At that time, like Maria, she was full of love for life and nature, singing and dancing.

"Director, please give me one last chance. I'm ready. Hepburn's eyes showed a resolute look, making people feel that she was a different person.

Alex asked the staff to adjust the equipment and repeated the shot. Unexpectedly, Hepburn really showed a side she had never had before this time.

"The sound of music echoes in the mountains, and the songs that have been sung for thousands of years are wafting......"

Hepburn originally had a solid foundation in singing and dancing, and after more than a year of practice, she had already sung this song very beautifully. Everyone present was captivated by her singing, even Alex. This one shot is finally over. Originally, Alex didn't ask Hepburn to sing so perfectly, after all, all the songs and voices will be dubbed in post.

Originally, there should have been an aerial shot from the air, a set of minutes-long aerial shots that would have required helicopters and civilian aircraft to complete. In this era, few people have used this method of shooting, especially from helicopters. After all, the civilian helicopter only existed in 1946, which was also the first civilian helicopter in the world at that time. Alex's move can be said to have set the longest aerial precedent in the history of film.

However, it is also a bit difficult to rent a helicopter. Now the DreamWorks crew is arranging this until the helicopter arrives before they can start filming. As for those shots taken by civilian aircraft, they have already been filmed.

Alex had the photographer shoot dozens of hours of film to perfectly preserve the beautiful scenery of Austria. His lavish spending made Morris feel distressed to look at it from the sidelines. Only Alex knows that in a few decades, these films will be very precious films. He would rather spend more money now, and it will be difficult to buy it even if he has money in the future.

After Hepburn got into the groove, the filming progress was immediately much faster. Her performance in the convent is exactly like that of a cute and naughty tomboy who likes to cause trouble. Especially when filming Maria who missed time because of singing and sneaked back to the convent, she happened to be discovered by several grandmothers and abbots, and Hepburn's movements and changes in expression were very good.

At that time, after Alex shouted to start, all the staff started their equipment, and the actors were in their positions.

In the beginning, it was the deans and the two grandmothers who were discussing the question of whether Maria would stay or not. Later, three young mothers were joined to talk about what kind of nun Mary was. By singing and talking, they describe Mary as a troublemaker, a lively and laughing person.

At this moment, suddenly "bang!" The door opened, followed by a loud and hurried footsteps interrupting the nuns' argument.

Maria, played by Hepburn, ran into the yard like a gust of wind, threw her clothes on the ground and freed up her two hands, quickly pressed the handle of the pump twice, and quickly took the water flowing from the hose with both hands and wiped it on her face, and then picked up her clothes and rushed to the dean's front in two steps.

Suddenly, she noticed that the nuns were watching her manner solemnly and silently. She hurriedly slowed her thumping pace. Once she had made up her mind, she cautiously approached the nuns.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her sternly, she shook her head and changed from tiptoeing to a casual appearance. She put her hands in her pockets and pretended nothing had happened, and walked past the grandmothers.

Seeing this scene, the nuns couldn't laugh or cry, and their faces were helpless.

In this scene, Hepburn's performance with the nun is very good. In particular, Hepburn's performance made others applaud in their hearts, and Parker, who was most familiar with Hepburn, had to admit that her acting skills were more skillful than in the previous movie.

The nuns with different expressions sang the last sentence in chorus: "How can a man catch the bright moonlight?" ”

“CUT！” Alex shouted, and he made a sign of pass.

In the convent, most of the nuns are real nuns, not actors.

Only the grandmothers and the deans were invited, and they were all old actors on the Broadway stage, and they had made many movies, usually in small supporting roles. These characters in "The Sound of Music" all need to be sung as soon as they speak, which is even more skilled for them.

Throughout the movie, there will be a lot of singing and dancing scenes.

The filming also refers to the classic scenes of many cabaret films, such as when Maria leaves the monastery and flies out of a cage like a bird, she needs to express her mood through song and dance. This is a reference to the scene in the classic Hollywood song and dance movie "Singin' in the Rain", where Maria's dance on the road is a bit like the shadow of Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.

When Hepburn was filming this clip, she was also excited. When she watched "Singin' in the Rain", she once fantasized that she was also like the male protagonist in the film, dancing and singing in the rain. What she didn't expect was that today she had the opportunity to realize her dream of singing and dancing.

Through this dance, when Hepburn played this Mary, she felt as if she was possessed by Maria's spirit, and she was completely crazy. She had never felt so happy, her whole body was relaxed, everything in the world had left her, and only extreme pleasure surrounded her.

This clip is used to show the process of Mary's mood change, from worrying about the future to being filled with joy of endless faith. Hepburn's performance was perfect, Alex compared this paragraph in his memory, and felt that Hepburn and Julie's interpretations had their own merits, no matter how good they were.

“CUT！” Alex shouted, and he said that this was the end of the story.

"Yay!"

"Bang bang bang!"

At this time, everyone couldn't help but cheer, they cheered and applauded Hepburn's wonderful performance.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Hepburn was a little confused, but she was still immersed in the role of Maria. Alex didn't hear him stop at all.

Soon, filming was pushed to the colonel's house. At this time, the male protagonist played by Parker appeared. He looks a little older than his real age, and this is the look that the makeup artist has designed for him according to his needs. Pike's hair was dyed gray and his temples were dyed gray, and he looked to be about forty years old, but he was still a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

Pike plays an old-fashioned and strict naval colonel, who is very disapproving and even a little annoying to Hepburn, a country girl and tomboy who has just come out of the convent. However, he didn't show it obviously, but only conveyed it through some subtle looks. Sometimes the tone of voice also reveals this emotion.

When Hepburn and Pike played opposite each other, they were really in excellent condition, and the scenes between the two were almost all one-time, and there were no low-level mistakes such as misremembering lines. Even if it is to be remade, Alex wants to tap the potential of the two and shoot the most perfect footage.

However, Alex didn't be able to toss for long. A few days later, it was time for the Colonel's children to appear. He had to hand over the director's authority back to Morris, after all, he couldn't be acting while sitting in the director's position and directing.

"Chirp!"

After a long whistle from the colonel, and a slamming of the door, the children appeared in the corridor on the second floor. They marched down the stairs in a line at the sound of the whistle.

The colonel was very strict, and he treated children like soldiers. He first introduced Mary to the children, and then said to her, "Miss Maria, whoever whistles me blows, who takes a step forward and announces his name." You, miss, have to listen carefully and remember their whistles, and you'll need them the next time you call them. ”

Among these children, Alex plays the eldest son Ferrek. Alex was 12 years old at this time, but he looked two or three years older than his actual age, and he had an ugly haircut. There was no way, he had to sacrifice his hairstyle as well. However, he is still much more handsome than the original Ferrec, and even with this old-fashioned hairstyle, it can't stop his eye-catching appearance.

Richard plays Curt, the second son of the Colonel. Cullen plays the youngest daughter, Gottle.

As for the other four children, they were all selected from the acting school, and their appearance met the requirements of the script. At the same time, they also have a lot of stage performance experience, and after a year of several trainings, they are ready one by one.

The three Carpenter siblings also participated in this singing and dancing training, and had a great time with the children.
