The film was really pushed out before Christmas, when there was no film rating system, and it would not appear until after 1968. At this time, it was not in charge of the Hayes Code, which retired as early as 1945.

In the fifties, it was the Motion Picture Association of America that censored Hollywood films, and it was much more relaxed. Besides, Alex's "The Sound of Music" has nothing bad about it from beginning to end, and it quickly passed the review.

The premiere was held at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, where it was built in 1927 by the king of the theater, Grauman.

At that time, Grauman, who was revered as "Mr. Hollywood", was a very powerful figure, and he was a big name in the American film industry.

He has invested in and operated many theaters, but he has always felt that these theaters are not ideal. Grauman wanted to build a first-class theater with oriental architecture in Hollywood that matched his financial resources and fame—the Chinese Theater.

Alex originally wanted to premiere in New York, but was later persuaded by Morris and others that they felt that if it was released in Hollywood, it would have a greater impact.

There were a lot of people in attendance that night, and they all looked like big people with heads and faces. There are more movie stars, film critics and reporters, except for a few Alex who know him, and the rest he has not seen in the movies he watched in later generations. These people are all invited and received by Morris, and if Alex is asked to do it, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it.

Alex sat in the box with his family early. Originally built with 2,258 seats, the theater has been changed several times and is now able to accommodate more than 1,600 people. The purpose of renovating the theater is to build a private box, and Alex, as a film investor and director, certainly has the right to get a box with a good location.

"Won't you go down with them?" Bart pointed to Morris, who he thought would not be nice if Alex wasn't with the crew at this time.

Alex shrugged and said, "I've done everything I need to do, and besides, I don't have to be in the film industry." Making movies is just a hobby for me, not a career choice for me. ”

After listening to Angel, she became interested: "Then what do you plan to do in the future?" ”

"Be a rice worm!" Alex replied as a matter of course. When he said the word, he said it in a way that translated from Chinese to English.

"Rice worms?" Everyone didn't understand what Alex meant by the word. Literally, it looks like a worm that grows in rice. But can a man be a worm?

Alex then explained: "It's the meaning of lazy and idle, and I work so hard to earn money just because I want to have endless money one day." ”

The Carpenter and his wife were so amused by Alex's words, they did not expect their eldest son's ideals to be so low. But then, they don't understand. If he just had endless money, Alex would have been able to do it a long time ago, and his current assets would have been in the tens of millions, not to mention tens of millions.

Richard asked, "Then you don't have enough money now?" It's hard to count all the money you make. ”

Alex glared at him and said, "There's enough of it, so I don't want to be a poor ghost." Even if it is a rice worm, there are high-level rice worms and low-level rice worms. High-grade rice worms are that you can buy whatever you want, and you can have whatever you want. ”

Angel asked, "And how much money do you want to make to spend it?" ”

"At least tens of billions of dollars!"

"So many! Wouldn't that mean you have to be the richest man? "Everyone thinks Alex is crazy, the richest man is not so easy to be.

Bart felt that Alex's thinking was a little different from ordinary people, so he stopped dwelling on this question and turned to ask Richard, "Then what do you want to do in the future?" ”

Richard exclaimed, "I'm going to be a big star!" Whether it's a singing star or a movie star, I want to do it. ”

Sister Karen also took the opportunity to shout: "Star! Star! ”

Everyone laughed, and just then, the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie began.

"It's about to start, don't make any noise, and concentrate on watching the movie." Bart silenced them all and turned his gaze to the big screen.

"This is the first movie I've made!" Alex's heart was filled with indescribable joy, he felt very full, and he felt hot all over his body, and he began to get excited.

At this time, the music sounded, and the dim Grand Theater suddenly fell silent, and nearly 2,000 people looked at the big screen in front of them. I saw that on the big screen, there was an opening animation of DreamWorks, which was a child sitting on the moon fishing. Alex once again directly took someone else's stuff, and he felt that this opening animation was very intentional and appropriate.

Most of the people who came to the premiere had seen Roman Holiday, and they were no strangers to this opening animation. Every time I see this animation, I feel very tasteful and never get tired of watching it.

When Alex designed this animation, it took a long time to bring in professional animators from Disney. The level of animation in this era is not as good as that of later generations, and those animators can't meet Alex's requirements every time, and he sends them back and redoes them many times. In the end, this version was very close to Alex's memory, so it was put on.

A lot of people ask Alex what this anime represents. Alex replied, "DreamWorks is about making everyone's childhood dreams come true, and that's what this animation says." ”

The film begins with an aerial shot of Austria in color. People in this era have rarely seen such a long movie shot from the sky down. Seeing that everyone's feet felt a little soft, and their hearts were a little excited.

Sky, white clouds, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, snow, sunshine...... Accompanied by the sound of the wind and the chirping of birds, they are presented to the audience one by one. The background music starts to show up from nothing, and the camera slowly lowers to see the town, the dwellings, and the castle, and then to the hillside as the music rises.

Standing on the hillside was a Hepburn dressed in plain clothes, and she opened her arms and sang in nature: "The sound of music echoes among the mountains, and the song of thousands of years is drifting......."

Looking at Maria, played by the blonde Hepburn, people's attention suddenly focused on Maria's figure. She danced and sang in the grass, in the woods, and by the brook, and when the singing stopped, the bells of the monastery were heard in the distance, and Mary hurried to run.

At this time, the director and the actors appeared, and people soon saw that the dean and the two grandmothers were discussing the question of Maria's whereabouts. The audience immediately became worried about this lively nun, and soon they saw that Mary left the convent from worry to confidence.

Here, the audience smiled at Maria's familiar song and dance. This is clearly the director's tribute to the classic song and dance "Sing in the Rain", and at the same time, everyone has expectations for Maria's future.

Soon, the Captain was seen treating children like soldiers. The Colonel's use of a whistle to summon the children, and the clever children playing with Maria, etc., are all amusing to watch.

There is music throughout the play, including some of the most widely circulated classic music. "The Sound of Music" expresses Maria's love for nature, "The Lonely Shepherd" is light-hearted, Colonel Trapp sings "Edelweiss", Colonel Trapp sings "Edelweiss", which is joyful and funny, and "Good Night, Goodbye!" sung by naughty and cute children. and so on, have become the most cherished and reminiscent of artistic masterpieces in people's memory.

"The Sound of Music" is the first song to appear in the play, a song that waves arms and sings about nature and music.

Doremi is Maria's first music lesson to the children, and it is the result of her attempts to get close to the children.

"My Favorite Things" is a series of the simplest and most delightful things, and this song has a bit of a folk flavor.

"The Lonely Shepherd" and the music "Lian Endra" were both inspired by the original author's view of the Austrian Alps.

"Over Every Mountain" was meant to cheer Maria as she left the monastery, and the song later became the music for the family to cross the Alps and leave their native Austria.

"Snow Melt Flower", which most people think is an Austrian folk song, is actually a new song, not an adaptation of a folk song. And, in fact, it's the last song the composer ever wrote. At that time, he already knew that he had few days left in the future, so the love for the motherland shown in the song could also be said to be his most reluctant.

When the Baroness appeared, people quickly recognized the woman as Bergman, who had disappeared for 6 years.

"Look! The Baroness turned out to be Ingrid Bergman! Soon someone shouted.

Many people didn't know that Bergman would appear in the film, and DreamWorks didn't announce who the actor for the role of the Baroness would be. The news of Bergman joining the crew has also been blocked, and most of the reporters are paying attention to Pike and Hepburn, and no one cares about this matter at all.

Her beauty and acting skills conquered the audience. Even those who hate her are deeply attracted by the aristocratic demeanor of the baroness on the screen and immersed in the story of the movie.

When the Baroness and the Colonel went from talking about marriage to getting Lao Yan to fly apart, the audience couldn't help but sigh. Someone even whispered, "It's a pity, the baroness is not bad." It's so good, still in love with the colonel, but not from the colonel's love. ”

"Shhhh Don't talk, concentrate on watching the movie! Someone next to him immediately reminded.

When she saw this scene, Bergman burst into tears, and she knew that she had finally been accepted again. She returned to the familiar world and returned to the front of people.

Maria and the Colonel get closer and closer, and the two are finally married. Seeing Hepburn and Parker's wedding on the screen, many people are wondering if it is because of this that the two came together.

In "Roman Holiday", Princess Anne and Joe, who have to be separated, do not want to see them enter the church. Now I see that in "The Sound of Music", the wedding of Maria and the Colonel finally fulfills people's wishes. This makes many people feel like they have put down a boulder in their hearts, and they are extremely happy.

Unfortunately, just after their honeymoon, their quiet life was shattered by the Nazis. The German Nazis occupied Austria, oppressed the local people, and submitted to the dictatorship.

Less than 10 years after the end of World War II, 1955 was the 10th anniversary of the end of World War II. The shadow left by the German fascists on the world at that time is still remembered in the hearts of the world. They still hated the atrocities of the Nazis, sympathized with the Colonel's family, and hoped that they would escape from occupied Austria.

Watching the colonel flee in the middle of the night, they were stopped by the Germans and escorted all the way to the theater to perform. The performance of the colonel and the children was interesting and good-looking, and the audience watched it with relish. In particular, the colonel's song "Edelweiss" not only made the audience in the film sing, but even the people in the big theater sang it in a low voice.

Seeing this scene, Alex was a little puzzled. After all, he came from a later life and had not experienced World War II, so he could not understand the oppression caused by the cloud of war that hung over the heads of people at that time.

Bart and Angel sang along with the Colonel, and the whole theater resounded with the singing of "Edelweiss." This represents the desire of the people not to submit to the dictatorship and to be free from the outside world.

Angel held Alex's hand tightly and whispered in his ear, "Kid, you've done a great job!" It's so touching. ”

Even Bart, who has always been bad at expressing emotions, burst into tears. The song reminded him of his dead comrades, who, although they did not go to war, knew a lot about the cruelty of World War II. It is a collective memory, a war that humanity will always remember.

Richard and Karen didn't expect the film to be so touching after editing, and they kept staring at the screen. Looking at their own image on top, as if looking at another person, someone they don't know.

After all the adventures, the Colonel's family finally escaped death, crossed the mountains, and left Austria. Here, Alex made a slight alteration, and the Colonel was able to escape safely, with the help of the American Uncle Mac, and the protection of the Baroness.

The Baroness looked at the Colonel's family who were far away, and said silently in her heart: "I wish you eternal happiness!" See you again, I love! ”

The colonel's family, who left the country, finally gained freedom and happiness. In stark contrast, the Baroness had to stay in enemy-occupied territory in order to secretly organize resistance against the Nazis, and her fate was uncertain. This scene is like in "Casablanca", Ilsa left safely on a plane, but Rick stayed in Casablanca to participate in the resistance movement of Free France.

When the words at the end of the film appeared, people were still immersed in the story of the movie, and after a while, thunderous applause rang out.

When Alex saw the reactions, he knew that his first film had finally succeeded!
