Chapter 94: Loving You Is Hard to Open Your Heart

The helicopter aerial part could not be filmed for the time being, and they could only finish the other parts first.

By the time the time came around December 1954, most of The Sound of Music had already been filmed. At this time, the helicopter still couldn't get it, and Morris wanted to revise the script and delete all the footage in the aerial filming. Alex adamantly didn't allow it.

"No! I will never change the script, I have to shoot according to the original plan! Alex did not back down, he must shoot the most perfect version, otherwise how can he be worthy of the original "The Sound of Music" that he copied.

"But as you can see, we can't get a helicopter, and the other models can't meet your requirements. So what else can you do? Morris had no choice but to throw the problem to Alex and let him solve it himself.

Alex was silent, he walked around a little impatiently, and said, "Is there a way to bribe the customs officials of the U.S. government to let them go?" ”

Maurice's eyes widened as he looked at Alex, he really didn't expect that such a cute child would think of using this method to solve the problem. Morris thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely, the McCarthyists are still rampant now, and if they find out about this and link our company to the Soviet Union, it will be all over." ”

Alex also knew that his idea was very unreliable, so he didn't mention it again, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Then there is no other way to ship it out of the country?" Could it be that this kind of helicopter has always been in the country and has never been abroad? ”

A staff member next to him immediately replied, "Not really, the plane was developed by Trans World Airlines, and they have shipped it to Europe in the first place." It is said that it is for some kind of flight experiment or something. ”

Hearing this, Alex immediately jumped up: "Then hurry up and contact Global Airlines and let them help us transport it out." No matter how much it costs, we will take care of it! ”

Speaking of Trans World Airlines, Alex remembers alerting Angel to buy a lot of the company's stock. After all, as a well-known airline in later generations, you shouldn't lose anything by buying its shares.

"We've been in contact with TWA for a long time, but ......"

"They don't want to? For what? We don't do anything if we give money! Alex was a little confused, and for Global Airlines, it was just a gesture. He was willing to pay the price, but people didn't even give him a chance.

The staff member said, "Yes, they say they can't do anything unless Howard Hughes orders it." This is a rule that Hughes has set in order to prevent others from stealing the company's technology. ”

"Howard Hughes?" Alex certainly knows this person, this guy is said to be the prototype of Iron Man, and there are several movies about this guy in later generations.

Howard Hughes, born in Houston in 1905, was a genius who combined myth and weirdness. He worked as an American aeronautical engineer, entrepreneur, film director, and more, and all of them were successful.

He became an orphan at the age of 17, dropped out of school to take over his father's business, became the chairman and director of a film company at the age of 21, flew an airplane of his own design at the age of 30 to set a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour, flew over the Americas in seven and a half hours at the age of 32, set a record of 91 hours around the world at the age of 33, and then spent five years building an airplane designed to carry 750 passengers and flying one mile.

In the United States of America, Howard Hughes's name is as recognizable as Washington and Abraham Lincoln. This is not only because he is one of the few wealthy people in the United States of America who enjoys the prestige of the world, but also because the people of the United States of America regard him as a hero.

In the face of such a character, Alex also had to sigh, this guy is much more awesome than the traversal. But no matter how good the other party is, things still have to be done. He asked the staff, "Didn't you think about asking Howard Hughes for a plane?" ”

"The other party, the other party doesn't pay attention to us at all."

Alex was dissatisfied, and said, "Call Mr. Hughes and say that Alex Carpenter has something to find him, let me tell him!" ”

At this time, Alex was not very sure in his heart. Maybe other people's birds don't bird him, but there is no way, how can you know if you don't succeed if you don't try.

The DreamWorks staff rushed to contact TWA Airlines, and as for calling Howard Hughes directly, it was a no-brainer. How can a billionaire be so easy to contact, people who are not of the same class, and the direct distance is like heaven and earth.

After the phone call, the other party simply said that they would relay the request to Howard Hughes and ask them to wait for news. For a moment, in the absence of any response, Alex and they had to wait.

At this time, the relationship between Pike and Hepburn is getting hotter and hotter, and even a blind person can see what happened between the two. Unexpectedly, Pike would come to Alex and ask him to help him find a way to propose to Hepburn.

"No, how did you propose to your ex-wife before?" Alex didn't understand, as a person who had come over, he didn't even know how to propose to a woman. It takes a lot of innocent people to be like this.

Pike was a little embarrassed, he said, "That's different, when I face Hepburn, I will be nervous and can't say anything." ”

Alex was a little incredulous, and asked strangely, "Huh?" Then when you were with her before, it wasn't like that. I don't think you two have a funny conversation, don't you? ”

"That was before there was a confirmed relationship, and the two of us were just good friends. It's different now, I really want to propose to her. Parker quickly explained.

Alex shook his head and said, "Alas, Pike, Pike! What would you do without me? ”

Indeed, without Alex's history, in the end, after Pike saw Hepburn marry Meir, he also married a female reporter. After that, he maintained a close friendship with Hepburn, and Pike grew old with the female reporter until his death.

"Please, I know you have a lot to pay attention to!" Pike pleaded, he admired Alex so much now, and was especially grateful to Alex for matching him with Hepburn. Without Alex, he didn't know how long it would take him to realize what he was missing.

"You can't just tell her, I love you, Hepburn, I want to marry you."

"If love had been so easy to say, I wouldn't have missed the opportunity when I was filming Roman Holiday. I'm glad you gave me another chance, or I would have regretted it. ”

Alex looked at Pike and thought of a note: "Since you can't speak, how about singing it?" ”

"Sing it?" Pike looked at Alex in amazement, not knowing what to do.

"Yes, just sing it. If you sing well, I'll write you a song. As long as you don't forget the lyrics by then, Hepburn will definitely agree to your marriage proposal after listening to it. Alex thought as he spoke, and soon found a song that fits perfectly.

"Isn't that waiting for you to write a song?"

Alex shook his fingers and said, "No, no, no, I just heard you say, and the love in your heart can't be spoken, and that gave me an inspiration." You'll be able to write it right away, and you wait. ”

Pike watched as he brought him pen and paper, and in a few minutes, a song was written, with the lyrics, stave, and so on.

Alex handed the sheet music to Pike and said, "You can take it and practice, but you can't lose it." I'm going to keep it up, it's going to be worth a lot of money in the future. ”

Pike got the song sheet and was fascinated by the song at a glance. He really didn't expect Alex to be so powerful and be able to write songs on the spot. His singing level is good, and his appreciation ability is also very high, and it can be judged at once that this is a wonderful song.

“Whoawhoa,yeayea,IloveyoumorethanIcansay。 I‘llloveyoutwiceasmuchtomorrow,Oh,loveyoumorethanIcansay…….”

As Pike watched, he unconsciously whispered a chant. The melody of this song is beautiful, the lyrics are simple, very sung, and simply catchy.

Yes, this song is called "MoreThanicansay". is a very classic song, written by Jerry Ellison and Sonny Curtiss in the early '60s, and was first sung by Bobby Vee in 1971. Later, in 1980, Lee Osayer re-interpreted it and became a well-known song. Alex is referring to Lee Oshayer's version, but this version uses electronic music effects in many places, so Pike sings closer to Bobby Way's version.

This is a song that can be sung forever, and many singers such as Xu Guanying, Teresa Teng, and Diclan have covered it. Everyone's style and feeling are different, but each cover was loved by people at the time, which shows the strength of this song's vitality.

Pike may not be a singer, but his level is definitely not bad, and with the help of Alex, he has adjusted a few places, and it sounds a little jazzy and a little rustic. He mastered it very quickly, and after only two or three times of singing, he became fully proficient.

Alex designed a marriage proposal scene for Pike, and with his experience of watching so many movies, he was certainly able to create a very romantic atmosphere.

A few days later, Parker invited Hepburn to go shopping, and they chatted as they walked and chatted, and slowly came to Salzburg's Fountain Square. They were standing on the edge of the fountain when a little girl came with a basket of flowers.

The girl with the red hat looked at Pike with a pleading look and said, "Sir, buy your girlfriend a rose." ”

Parker looked at Hepburn, and saw Hepburn looking at him with a smile. Pike said to the little girl, "Okay, how much do you have in your basket of flowers?" I bought them all. ”

The girl happily quoted a price, and after receiving the money, she gave them the flowers and the basket.

Pike handed the basket of flowers to Hepburn and said, "Hepburn, this is for you." ”

Hepburn took it and found at a glance that there was a small red box in this basket of flowers. Attached to it was a piece of paper that read: "To the woman I love the most, Miss Hepburn!" ”

She was taken aback, and when she looked closely, the note was signed by Pike.

"It's ......" Hepburn picked up the small box and put the flower basket down.

When she opened the box in confusion, she saw a sparkling diamond ring inside. At this moment, there was a burst of music around the square, and Pike sang affectionately, "Whoawhoa, yeayea, I love you in my heart, I can't open my mouth!" My love for you is getting better and better every day. Oh, I love you in my heart, my mouth is hard to open! Whoawhoa, yeayea, I miss you every day......."

There were suddenly more people in the square, and if you looked closely, many of them were from the crew. Especially the Carpenter siblings, they are very conspicuous. Alex and Richard both played guitar and accordion, respectively, while the rest of the kids were harmonizing Pike. There are also people who shoot this side from all angles, and they have been ambushed here for a long time.

The accompanying music and Pike's voice are played through a loudspeaker. There were also some people in the square who didn't know the truth, and they didn't know what was going on in the road, so they all stood still and looked at Pike and Hepburn.

"Oh, I love you in my heart, and my mouth is hard to open. I'm going to love you in my heart, and I'm going to have a hard time opening my mouth~~~~~"

Parker sings emotionally and the songs are beautiful. When Hepburn heard this song and saw the diamond ring, he immediately understood.

Under the moving background music, Hepburn covered her mouth tightly with her hands, her eyes were crystal clear, and tears were plendid, and she cried and said, "I do, I do, Pike!" ”

By the time Hepburn said "I do," Pike had long since forgotten the lyrics he was about to sing, and his mind went blank. However, he quickly reacted, picked Hepburn up, made her spin in the air, and kissed her affectionately.

At this time, the singing still did not stop, and Pike was followed by Alex. He sings over and over again in a voice a hundred times better than Pike's: "I love you more than a day!" Oh, I love you in my heart, I can't open my mouth......"

It's not singing for Pike, it's singing for himself. He looked at Pike and Hepburn, singing, and his eyes began to moisten.
