Chapter 93: A Song as a Song

Many scenes in the movie are very classic, and what impressed them the most was that the colonel couldn't help it anymore when he saw Maria take her children to climb trees and pick fruits and go down to the river to fish like a monkey. So the colonel and Maria clashed violently.

The colonel believed that Maria, as a governess, so indulged in the naughty naughtiness of the children. When blaming her, instead of admitting her mistake, the Colonel accused the Colonel of not understanding his own child at all, which caused the Colonel to have a greater misunderstanding, so he threatened to sweep Maria away.

In this clip, Maria argues with reason, does not shy away, and makes witty remarks in one go. The colonel could only get angry, but there was nothing he could do with Maria, which also made him know Maria's character for the first time.

Through this conflict, Maria's straightforward, bold, and loving character traits are revealed, while at the same time allowing the audience to see the Colonel's serious, even a little old-fashioned, appearance.

Originally, this scene was very difficult to film. Not only are there many lines, but more importantly, it is necessary to show the expressions and inner changes of the two during the conflict at that time. The cooperation between Parker and Hepburn is simply natural, without any traces of pretentiousness. Bergman's role as the Baroness is also just right, and when Maria clashes with the Colonel, she sees that the atmosphere is not right, so she excuses herself to leave.

When the conflict between the two reached its climax, the Colonel called out for Maria to return to the convent, which was interrupted by a burst of singing. When they entered the room, they found that it was the children singing to the Baroness, and the Colonel, who had been softened by the singing, sang along with the song.

The Baroness said to Colonel Lu in a very aristocratic manner, "I didn't know that you had such lovely children. Why didn't you mention it to me at all? ”

Bergman's expression and tone were very natural, and under her guidance, the colonel finally realized his mistake. It turns out that the naughty and bad children, under the teaching of Mary, show their good side. The one who really doesn't understand the child is himself.

The Colonel apologized to Maria and retracted the preface. Mary also admits that she is too impulsive and speaks in an inappropriate tone. In this way, the fierce conflict between the two was well resolved.

These scenes were not filmed in one go, but were shot several times, and when it was a rare occasion, both Pike and Hepburn were able to maintain their emotions all the time, as if they were happening at the same time. This made everyone else have to admire their acting skills.

After filming these scenes, Alex realized that the filming was going too fast and it was still early. If you want to shoot a few other scenes, there are some jobs that need to be pre-arranged. So he thought for a moment and said, "Today's shooting is done, but I want to borrow a little bit of your time." I have a song here for Pike and Hepburn. This song is a song I wrote after watching "Roman Holiday" and inspired by the relationship between Princess Anne and Joe. ”

When Pike heard this, he couldn't believe it, and he exclaimed, "What? ”

Hepburn's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say anything.

Bergman looked at Pike and Hepburn in the audience with a smile and coaxed, "Wow! Is this to congratulate Princess Anne and Joe? I want someone to write a song for me, too. ”

Richard and the other kids jumped for joy, unaware of the complicated relationship between Hepburn and Pike. However, they know that in the movie, Maria and the Colonel finally come together. In the same way, they thought that Hepburn and Pike were a couple. Who told these two people to get so close and have such a good relationship after filming.

"Congratulations to the Colonel and Maria! Congratulate! Congratulate! ”

Morris looked at Alex thoughtfully, then at Pike and Hepburn's expressions. He kind of understood, but he didn't break it, and like everyone else, he quipped: "Is there anything else in this crew that I don't know?" ”

The rest of the staff also cheered and congratulated Hepburn and Parker one after another. People who don't know the truth think that Pike took this opportunity to propose to Hepburn and show his love. Even Hepburn herself thinks so, she has always admired Pike.

"Alex, what's the name of your song?" Morris asked.

At this time, Alex was getting the instrument ready, and he said, "The song is called 'Hey, Soul Sister'!" I watched the movie and had a feeling that I didn't finish until recently. ”

Richard, with a folk guitar on his back and a classical guitar in his arms, stood behind Alex. He was the lead guitarist for the performance, and Alex had been approaching him to practice the song more than a week ago.

There was also a drummer, who was improvised from the staff. Originally, Alex planned to come by himself, but he found that sitting behind the drum rack and singing and beating was not very good. He still felt the feeling of standing and singing this song.

"Wait, let me fix my hair first!" Alex stops the two buddies, and his hairstyle is still the same ugly hairstyle in the movie. He took a comb out of his pocket and combed his hair all the way back, all in reverse.

Alex's action made everyone laugh and alleviated the embarrassment of Hepburn and Pike. They all calmed down and prepared to listen to Alex's song. Everyone here knows that Alex is a great singer, and they know the Carpenter brothers' songs very well.

Alex's preparation lasted for a while, after all, many things were not ready-made, and the things they were going to sing were not arranged a long time ago. When the staff went to get the instruments, they ran and shouted, "The Carpenter brothers are going to sing a new song!" The Carpenter brothers are singing a new song! ”

It's a song that has never been released before, and according to Alex, it's the first time it's been performed in public in front of people. The news that the Carpenter brothers were going to sing spread like a gust of wind. Not only did the crew surround them, but even the nearby residents ran out. The nuns in the convent didn't even do their prayers, and they all ran here to watch.

The place where their crew filmed today happened to be in a famous spot, a place called Tepra Hills. The scenery here is beautiful, and it is a place that many tourists like to come to. It is also a spot with a lot of personal traffic, and there is a beautiful lake next to it.

Just as Alex was about to let the accompaniment sound and start singing, there were more and more people, and the scene was very spectacular. Nuns in black robes ran over, and many tourists and locals approached. Fortunately, the crew had a special staff member who kept the order in order, and they used a cordon to isolate the rest of the crew from the actors.

These are the people who applied to the local police station, they are all local police, and the locals are very obedient and stand outside. At this time, the crew in charge of filming did not stop working, and they filmed the scene from all angles under the command of Morris.

The accompaniment sounded, and it was Richard who played first, holding the classical guitar, and playing a crisp and pleasant prelude, which sounded like a novelty.

"Hey, hey, hey~~" Alex sang along with the guitar accompaniment, "Your lip print is deeply imprinted on the frontal lobe of the left half of my brain, and I know that I will never forget you, so I let you shake my heart!" ”

Alex's singing voice is very distinctive, and if you listen to his previous songs, you will find that each song he sings will have a different style and feeling. This is because when Alex sings those songs, he will always subconsciously use the "simulated memory" ability to try his best to sing the original version.

However, he is not completely simulating at this time, but still singing with his own voice. But you can always sing in different styles and give people different feelings.

This time it also feels very unique to everyone, and they recall the special person in their lives in Alex's singing.

Hepburn, in particular, reminded her of the memories of being with Pike in every line of Alex's singing.

"You radiate a moon-like light, and your fragrance fills every dream of mine!"

Before she entered the film industry, Pike was already a popular male movie star and the dream lover of thousands of girls. When Hepburn first met Pike, he was trembling with excitement.

"I know that when we collide with sparks, you are the only one I identify, my true destiny......"

During the filming of "Roman Holiday", she was deeply attracted by Parker's mature manly demeanor. But Pike was already married at that time, and she and Pike only maintained a good friendship relationship, burying that emotion deep in their hearts.

What she didn't know was that Pike was in the process of discussing a divorce with his wife at the time. This is also the reason why Pike does not want to pull Hepburn into his arms, he is afraid that his divorce will make the world misunderstand Hepburn.

"Hey! Girl of my life, I don't want to miss anything you do, tonight! ”

Hepburn's reaction to the scene of "The Mouth of Truth" was completely natural, and she didn't know that it was Pike improvising. She was really scared to death, threw herself into his arms, and cried. At the time, she was really afraid of losing Pike, thinking that she would never be able to see each other in her life.

"I want the whole world to see you and me together!"

……

“Hey,hey,hey! Just tonight! ”

“Hey,hey,hey! Just tonight! ”

Alex's voice faded and the music faded away. At this time, people are still in their memories and can't extricate themselves. Hepburn was even more moved to tears, frightening the Pike beside her. Pike hugged her into his arms, which made Hepburn's mood return to normal slightly.

This song "Hey, SoulSister" is the work of the American alternative rock band Train, which is full of warmth, melodiousness, and emotional delicacy. With a relaxed accompaniment and lively melodies, it is the most popular take you ever carried by this band, which once won third place on the Billboard. With this song, they also won the Best Pop Band award at the 53rd Grammy Music Awards.

Of course, Alex couldn't have sung the song in its entirety, and some of the lyrics in it didn't fit, for example, the "Madonna" was changed to "Maria" by him. This has a double meaning, one refers to the "Virgin Mary" of the virgin child, and the other refers to the character "Mary" that Hepburn is now playing!

When Pike embraced the weeping Hepburn into his arms, he knew what Hepburn was thinking. The two of them are so connected that they can always feel each other's thoughts. Hepburn also understood Pike's thoughts, and she hugged Pike tighter with her backhand.

Seeing such a scene, Alex said in his heart: "Pike, brother, I can only help here, brother, and then it's up to you." ”

There are so many women in the world who are infatuated with Pike because of his warm eyes and handsome appearance. What is more important is the broad shoulders, the gentle smile, and the forgiving heart.

Hepburn didn't have to worry about being despised by him for revealing his heart to him, and he didn't have to worry about hurting if he gave everything. Hepburn could be a child at will, without any worries. He would wait for Hepburn all his life and treat her like an angel.

Alex's appearance affected the fate of some people, especially Pike and Hepburn. The two of them would have gone their separate ways at this point in time, but because of the movie "The Sound of Music", they had more time to look into their hearts. At this time, they find that the people they need are close by.

At the premiere of "Roman Holiday", after listening to Alex's words, Pike also examined his true thoughts. For the two of Hepburn and Meir, they are no longer working so hard. In addition, Hepburn accepted Alex's invitation to play the male and female lead roles with Pike, and Hepburn got along less with Meir in terms of time, and more with Pike on the contrary.

As a result, Hepburn at this time had not yet embarked on the path of marriage to Meir. Instead, he had more time alone with Pike, which allowed Alex's plan to be carried out smoothly.

I don't know if Lu Dao was too easy before, but suddenly there was a bad news, which caught Alex off guard.

"What? You say helicopters can't be brought over? What's going on! Alex shouted into the phone.

The helicopter that Alex wants is the most advanced model in the United States, the highest and most stable flight, and only such a plane is suitable for aerial shooting. After all, the helicopters of this era are not as advanced as those of later generations, and they cannot even be compared to the machines of more than ten years later. But now he was told that the machine could not be shipped to Europe, because it was a high-tech product and could not be shipped out of the country.

The staff of DreamWorks had no choice but to say: "This type of aircraft has just been converted to a civil aircraft this year, and the engine of the aircraft is still produced by Trans World Airlines, which is the most advanced in the world." Customs forbade shipments to Europe, for fear of being leaked out of the country and obtained by the Soviet Union. ”

In desperation, Alex had to find another way. However, now the helicopters on the European side will not be able to apply for a while and a half, and if they have to wait, they will have to delay for more than half a year, and the losses will be great.
