At the beginning of the movie, it was still the factory logo of DreamWorks. A red dragon rose. The difference is that this time it was accompanied by a heroic background music. The music caused a commotion to the audience in the cinema because they did not see the band in the cinema. Many people couldn't figure out where the music came from.

I specially invited people from the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra to record this music. It is the best symphony orchestra in the West. The design of the melody invited all the first-class American composers at that time. They were matched with factory logos and were very majestic.

Subtitles appear next. Screenwriter: Andrebao, James..., Photography: Berg, Huang Zongzhan, Director: Andre

These subtitles did not attract much attention from the audience because they watched too many such subtitles, but the last line of subtitles gave them a reflection - Musical Sound Guidance: Andre Corleon.

This title is definitely the first time a big girl appears in the sedan chair.

"Andre, what does this musical sound guidance mean?" Marskolov asked in confusion.

"There is a sound in the movie, and of course someone who can have a general grasp of all the music and sounds in the movie," I explained.

After hearing this, Marskolov nodded with a smile.

After the subtitles were revealed, the screen went dark, and then the sound of Scottish bagpipes was faintly heard. The sound was originally very small, but it became louder and louder, gentle and melodious.

The sound of the bagpipe made the locals in the cinema mutter, and some people screamed in surprise, but most of the owners of film companies, such as Marskolov, Adolf Belin, etc., looked indifferent. When the silent films were screened in Hollywood in the 1920s, it was already strange that the band played in the cinema. They thought the sound here was just a band played by a hidden band in the cinema.

"Andre, this is your audio movie? Haha, I'm not sleeping too much, right?" Marskolov laughed. There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Aitken also stood up, blinked at me, and said, "Mr. Corleon, if you are an audio movie, then Hollywood will no longer know how many audio movies it has produced!"

Hahahaha. After hearing the two of them, the guys next to him burst into laughter. Among them, Adolf and Chaplin laughed the most.

"Mr. Corleon, your publicity effect is very unique. I think we, Lianmei, should learn from you well." Chaplin said sarcastically.

I just smiled and said, "Everyone should be calm. Then just look at it, you will be satisfied. Why are you so anxious? Don't be anxious to express your opinions after reading it a little bit."

This time, Aitken and others sat down honestly and stared at the screen ahead patiently.

The picture gradually becomes brighter, a close-up of a highland full of thistle flowers, and then a horse's hooves break into the camera, and the sound of hooves is everywhere. The camera follows the horse's hooves and gradually pulls away. Close-up, medium-scene, and long-range, until the aerial shot, what the audience sees is a snow-white horse running on the vast wind-whistling high ground, mountains, valleys, rivers, and a magnificent river and mountains!

Voiceover: "I will tell you at the entrance of William Dinburgh Castle, and the songs of the King Robert Wallace of Scotland have been sung for hundreds of years. His stories linger in the heart of every Scotsman, like the words of the mountain, peaceful and powerful. His historians agree that some legends about Wallace are true, but they cannot deny that his life itself is such an epic, and no one knows what Wallace said when he whispered to his lover, what he prayed to God, and what he prayed to his inferior troops when he fought, and only his soldiers knew. Then, in my heart, the story of Wallace began... "

This voiceover was recorded by an elderly broadcast host from Los Angeles One, and it has a sense of vicissitudes and layering.

What I didn't expect was that when the audience in the cinema heard such a sound, they suddenly exploded.

If the sound of the bagpipe just surprised a small number of people, then such voiceover was greatly surprised by everyone. At this time, Hollywood dubbed the characters in the silent film, but there were only a few movies, but there were very few, and some people stood behind the screen holding a microphone and the characters on the silent film. However, because it was extremely difficult, it has basically disappeared now.

Marskolov suddenly didn't sit firmly and almost fell under the chair. Then he looked at me and looked at the screen, his mouth opened into a big "o" shape. Lemmer next to him opened his eyes and looked around for the source of sound. Warner Brothers, who were originally whispering and talking jokes, were staring at the screen in a daze, and he didn't even know that the cigarette in his hand was burning.

Adolf. He originally looked contempt for this movie, but the big reason he came was just to give me a face, so since the beginning of the premiere, he has been sitting in his seat either yawning or chatting with the people next to him. However, after the first shot, he straightened his body and stared at the screen with his big belly, not believing in the facts he saw in front of him.

Fox and John were drinking the drinks, knowing that the drink in the cup was still sucking the cup in a pretty good manner after he drank it.

Among the people, Chaplin was the one with the calmest expression, but his eyes betrayed him, which was a look of extreme jealousy and enviousness. He knew the meaning of this kind of movie and the market for this kind of movie. Although he hated me in his heart and wished that this movie could not even recover the cost, what he saw and heard forced him to admit the power of this new form of movie.

"No one behind the screen is dubbing with a microphone, right?" I don't know who it was, so I shouted in the back row, and then many people stood up behind me.

"Yes, there must be someone behind the screen holding a microphone and dubbing!" Some people agree with this opinion.

The screening stopped temporarily, except for the lights in front of the cinema, the lights behind were turned on. The staff walked up and raised them to talk about the screen. When these people saw that there was a white wall, they became increasingly unable to believe the facts in front of them.

"Mr. Corleon, this is incredible! We want to explain!" Many people stood up, feeling affectionate and excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, watch the movie first, and then I will explain it to you, okay?" As a last resort, I stood up and finally stopped these guys.

The movie continues. The first scene, the scene of the aristocratic negotiation, did not have too many lines, but because it was a live recording, the neighing sound of the war horses and the howling sound of the strong wind

The sound made the audience in the cinema finally believe that these sounds were not made by someone in the cinema, because even the best orchestra could not play such natural sounds.

While Marsole Wallace and his son rode a war horse to the barn, William chased after him. Marsole told William the first line of the movie: "What are you here to do?!"

"Oh my God! Look! He's talking! I heard him talking!" A scream came from the back row, and an obese female spectator fainted while covering her chest.

Aitken of Mutual Aid Company listened to the dialogues of these characters, turned his face and shivered at me, "Mr. Corleon, how does their voices and lips fit so well! It's so incredible! Is this simply impossible thing??"

Kessel next to Aitken opened his mouth wide, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth and was completely ignorant. He held Baoman's hand tightly and muttered like a lunatic in his mouth: "They are talking! They are talking!"

Charles arrived, and he spoke with the characters on the screen, touching his mouth to see if his mouth shape and the sound he heard were in line with. When he got the affirmative answer, he could not believe it.

Toddin caught his ears in Tom's seat next to him, because Browning blocked his sight.

"Andre, are these actors saying these words themselves?!" Lemel said, pulling my sleeve.

"Yes, they recorded it on the spot while filming. Just restore these sounds during the screening site." I explained.

Lemmer nodded while listening, and kept saying, "Miracle, it's simply a miracle!"

Chaplin leaned over and listened to me and Lemmer's explanation, but tried to prevent him from being discovered by me. He looked very funny.

The mustache he had just left trembled slightly from excitement, and the same trembling, and his hand, the crutch next to his seat, fell to the ground because of his trembling, which forced him to bend down and pick it up.

The screams in the cinema were heard one after another. The addition of sounds added the novelty of the movie, and people did not think that the characters in the movie could also speak, and they could hear the sound of wind and rain inside like the real world. On the other hand, the addition of sounds also greatly added the expressive power of the movie. The newly added information in the picture is a geometric increase compared to the silent film. Therefore, the first time I saw the audience who saw an audio movie was reflected, just like those who saw the movie for the first time in the Café of Capsin Road, Paris in 1895, the excitement in the heart was absolutely impossible to express in words.

They watched the nobles foolishly bring their servants into the barn, worried about their situation. They saw William and Hebrew laughing at the group of pigs as British soldiers, and when they saw the dozens of corpses hanging in the barn heard William's horror screams, many people shouted at the British.

"These damn British guys!" Even Van Punk beside Chaplin couldn't help but curse, and then he suddenly remembered that when the boss Chaplin was also an English man, this guy quickly covered his mouth.

But Chaplin didn't notice Van Punk was scolding him. He stared at the screen, as if he was already possessed.

Marso was killed. Little William woke up to the grave at night and found a scene of everyone holding a funeral for his father and brother. When the melodious bagpipes remembered again, the cinema was as quiet as the bottom of the river at midnight. No one spoke, and many people couldn't help but cry as they watched the young Wallace standing beside the whistling fire. Little William's screams, the heart-wrenching cry, had an impact on the audience's hearts and souls, which could not be achieved by any silent film. With the melodious bagpipes, the scene was filled with tragic feelings, and tears flowed into a river in the cinema.

Marskolov wiped and wiped me, crying while smacking his lips. Robert in front of him was half of his face, Bessi, the owner of the 20th Century Film Company, squeezed his eyes into a line because of crying, and touched his tears and snot on his clothes while squeezing his eyes.

The scene of Isabel played by Garbo caused a lot of exclamation. Garbo's appearance was so beautiful, and her very pleasant voice made every audience member on the scene deeply fall in love with it. I even saw the lustful Sam licking his lips hard, and he smacked his lips, like a hungry dog ​​seeing a fresh and moist bone.

The wedding of Isabel and Prince Edward made the originally depressing atmosphere in the cinema relax. The children's singing and cheerful music played in it made many people beat involuntarily. Richard from Kepi clapped his hands and twisted his body, swaying like a duck, completely intoxicated in the world of sound.

The next wedding night between Isabel and the prince made the audience suspicious. Many people didn't know why the prince was not moved by such a beautiful wife at all. The sound of Prince Edward slamming the door and closing the door made me even more shocked.

The homosexual scenes of Prince Edward and Porter kissing each other and the love words between them made the audience scold.

"These dead British guys are so disgusting!"

"Yes, you listen to the love words they said, oh! It's so disgusting!"

...

The audience was dissatisfied with Prince Edward's behavior and his slutty love words and cursed them one after another. Chaplin, as a British, frowned by these scoldings because of his concern for his identity.

The movie continues, and when the first shot of adult Wallace appeared, Lenny almost pinched my hands, she gritted her teeth, waiting for me to say the first sentence.

The soldiers walked over and asked Wallace if his horse's geese were knocked down with a bow and arrow. Wallace replied: "I threw them down with stones."

This sentence made everyone around me look at me. Lenny was no exception. She looked at me with a look of shock, as if she was looking at this alien.

"Andre, I heard it. This is your voice, it is absolutely your voice!" Lenny said with great force to pull my arm.

Others who are familiar with me naturally know my voice and know my voice. They can't believe that the person on the screen, Wallace, who is played by me, speaks exactly the same thing as me.

"Yes, that's my voice, it's not wrong at all." I shrugged at them

I feel extremely proud.

The scenes of Wallace and Hebix and the scenes of two people recognizing each other and hugging each other after a contest made the audience exclaim, and the unique friendship and generousness of Scots in the movie touched everyone.

If these are men's charity, then the next emotional scene between Wallace and Murren will immerse everyone in sweet love.

Wallace took Mullen out at night, riding a horse and wandering under the moonlight. The beautiful scenery in the camera is picturesque, and the sound of bagpipes is tender. Every audience who sees such a picture and hears the beautiful sound of bagpipes inside, a faint smile of satisfaction appears on their faces.

I saw Marskolov forgetting the loving Wallace and Mullen on the screen, he might have thought of Lenny's mother, the only woman he loved in his life, and he might have thought of the sweet past that happened between them. Although they were not doing such romantic things like in the movie, like in the movie, the sweetness in their hearts was the same.

Compared with Marskolov, Lemmer was also tranced, but his eyes were wet and tears, and his expression was much sadder than Marskolov. Heidi's mother died earlier, and he pulled Heidi up alone. The camera in front of him reminded him of the good times when he was young, and the things he told me about happened between him and Heidi's mother. The more he thought of these sweet things, the more he was worried about Heidi's happiness in his life.

Everyone has their own sweet love. When they were young, whether it was successful or unsuccessful, they would feel soft when they think about it many years later. This scene, which only a few minutes, suddenly touched the softest part of everyone's heart.

I saw that John must be his beloved woman. Fox held his head tenderly and looked at the screen without moving, thinking. Charles Todd, perhaps thinking about the encounters between a young woman.

Tom + date, only he himself could know this. Adolf rubbed his gray hair and looked envious. This old man with a bad temper should have his own happy years. Chaplin, who was sitting next to me, stared at Pickford with a pair of watery big eyes, staring at Pickford motionlessly. Perhaps, for him, the most unforgettable thing that has had so many women in his life is the woman around him.

The cinema was very quiet, and young couples leaned together and spoke softly. The old couple held each other's dry hands and smiled with relief.

I was also infected by this atmosphere. My heart was so numb that I was almost suffocating.

But this atmosphere was quickly shattered by the play below. The British aristocrats exercised the "first night power" local drama, which made the air in the cinema suddenly tense.

The scenes of each scene are combined with the sound of songs, the sound of heavy rain, the scolding of the nobles, and the screams of the bride and groom, which makes many people clench their fists.

The festive and lively wedding was in sharp contrast to the tears of the bride being pulled onto the horse and forced to leave with others. The close-up shots of those groups of eyes deeply shocked the audience's hearts.

They buried their anger in their hearts like the Scots in the movie. They clasped their fists and gritted their teeth. Their bodies were stiff in their seats.

Each of them was worried about Wallace and Mullen's love, and they all vaguely knew what would happen next.

However, the wedding held by Mullen and Wallace privately made them feel relieved. When Uncle Yajill inside asked Mullen if he would marry Wallace, Robert of the Star Company could no longer hold back and stood up and shouted at the screen: "Yes!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

The people in the cinema were roaring loudly for the characters in the movie as if they were holding a wedding. When Mulun inside said he was willing, many viewers hugged each other happily, whether they knew each other or did not.

When the movie was about to change, when Mullen was entangled by British soldiers, the audience scolded the British one after another, and even Chaplin looked angry. When Wallace beat the British soldiers to the point of falling, they cheered. When Mullen was caught, they were sad and sad. The audience was completely influenced by the movie, as if they were collectively having a wonderful dream in the cinema.

And when Heserig cut Muren's throat with a knife, a scream came from the cinema.

Many female audiences covered their mouths and refused to let themselves scream. They opened their eyes wide, and huge tears rolled down their cheeks like Mulun in the movie.

"Bitches are raised by British people! They are so bullying!" Aitken, who was furious, stood up and waved his fists at the British soldiers on the screen.

The revenge campaign carried out by Wallace next led his men was very satisfying. The scene of his killing every British soldier would bring a burst of cheers. When he killed Herselig, Adolf jumped up and shouted, "This is a man!" He did not expect that the person who played this man was his old rival Andre.
To be continued...
