After the release of "The Patriot", the violent response caused was definitely the most sensational movie event in 193. This movie, whether from the premiere of more than 100,000 people or the spirit contained in the movie itself, completely surpassed ordinary movies and formed a powerful shock to the audience!

This shock made major American media use words of praise to describe their love for "Patriot". Especially in this economic recession and the people within the country are full of disappointment, the patriotism contained in this movie makes all Americans, no matter what class or party, stand together under the star and stripes.

So for them, "The Patriot" is no longer a simple movie. It has surpassed beyond the movie and has become a loud horn and a flying banner of freedom!

Among all the newspapers, there is a newspaper with unique attitude towards "The Patriot".

On the front page of the Washington Post, there is a huge picture. On the picture, there is a shot of "Patriot". Benjamin rode a war horse and raised a star-striped flag high, which was very moving.

"Yesterday, a movie made all Americans cry. Some people said that in the sky last night, even the Washington Monument was trembling! Countless heroes woke up this night!"

"A few years ago, Mr. Corleon's "Brave Heart" made the people of the world understand the true meaning of freedom. William Wallace's shout has now become the common property of everyone in the world, in Scotland. It is said that since the movie was first released, it has been screened almost every night, and they even engraved the word FREEDOM on the memorial tower in the Scottish Highlands. Because of "Brave Heart", the Irish people rose up to fight, gained national independence, and unified the entire Ireland. Because "Brave Heart" the oppressed countries and nations in Europe have rekindled hope!"

"A "Brave Heart" lets the light illuminate Europe!"

"Now, America is in a darkness, this darkness makes us almost breathless. At this time, Mr. Corleone's movie lit up a torch for us! If "Brave Heart" belongs to Europeans, then "Patriot" belongs to us Americans!"

"Compared with "The Brave Heart", "The Patriot" is different. It has spectacular scenes and beautiful scenery like oil paintings. It shows a cross-section of the War of Independence. It shows an American with seven children, first enduring, dodging and finally getting angry. "The Brave Heart" belongs to all peace-loving people in the world, but the core of "The Patriot" does belong to our America!"

"Last night, Americans have been so united since the outbreak of the economic crisis, and for the first time they have stood together so tightly! When the sound of long live the United States in the square sounds, and when the famous soldiers in the movie shouting for the charge for the United States, we understand the word America like never before, what does it mean to us!"

"This simple word became heavier than life at that moment!"

"What makes everyone remember most is undoubtedly the flag flying over the battlefield when the background music sounded! The star-striped flag has now become our national flag! But now, we do not have the official national anthem of our own!"

"Last night, the song "Star and Stripes Never Fall" echoed in the chest of every people! In 1814, the British fleet attacked Fort McHenry and bombed day and night. American lawyer Francis Scott took a boat to the British warship to negotiate the detained American civilians. He witnessed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry and the US military rose to fight. When he could go through the smoke of gunfire, the star and stripes could fly high on the castle, he wrote the earliest poem and composed the song, which was designated as "Song of the Star and Stripes". It soon spread throughout the United States!!"

"For a hundred years, this song "Song of the Stars and Stripes" has been remembered countless times! In 189, the song "Stars and Stripes" composed by John Stafford Smith completely inherited the spirit of "Song of the Stars and Stripes"! For decades, it has become a symbol of the United States!"

"Before, we heard this song in many places, and we have heard it countless times. We are familiar with its melody. However, last night, this song shocked our hearts more than ever!"

"The Stars and Stripes Never Fall, whether it is based on the meaning of the song itself or the name of the song, they are fully qualified to become the national anthem of the United States!"

"Thanks to Mr. Corleon, who brought us hope and confidence with a film "Patriot", and he also brought us a national anthem with "Patriot"! A country that has been established for more than a hundred years should have its own national anthem!"

The comment from the Washington Post itself is not particularly deafening from the specific content, but the most important reason why it attracted the attention of all Americans and caused a huge response is that it put forward a proposition that made all Americans excited: It’s time to set the national anthem!

Since the independence of the United States, the Stars and Stripes have been the national flag of the United States. Although the form has changed, it has never been shaken. However, over the years, the United States has no national anthem. Although many songs are deeply loved by the United States, the government has never set the national anthem. This time, "The Patriot" obviously promoted it.

"The Stars and Stripes" that appeared in the movie shocked all Americans. In specific movie emotions, under the unique melody, and in the unique rendering, the powerful summoning ability exuded by this song has conquered everyone.

For a country, the national anthem is very important. It can make the people of the country feel excited and unite the entire country and nation together at the moment it is played! This is the power of the national anthem, which also determines that the national anthem itself cannot be selected casually. This is probably the reason why the United States has not had a national anthem for a long time.

But now, with the screening of "The Patriot", "The Stars and Stripes", which originally had a very high status in the minds of the American people, fully agrees with all the possibilities of becoming the national anthem, and the rest is to require the government to promote confirmation.

The Washington Post noticed this sensitively, so they quickly made such a move and publicity, and gained strong support from the people.

After the publication of the Washington Post, at noon that day, many social organizations began to propose proposals to the White House, demanding the determination of the US national anthem. Many members of the Republican and Democratic parties also demanded that the Stars and Stripes never fall as the US national anthem.

In addition, even the military stood up. Military representatives led by General Pershing, Eisenhower, Marshall and others also made a proposal to the federal government, demanding the determination of the US national anthem.

In this way, a major thing that no one expected before happened.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, US President Rootman announced that he would come to the conference in Washington to discuss the US national anthem.

There are not only representatives from each state, members of Congress, representatives from various social organizations, military representatives, and many professional composers.

This incident was well known under the reports of Lockettke TV, NBC, CBS and other media.

Although this day was not a day off, the entire American people stopped their work. Everyone got together, watching TV or listening to the radio, and wanted to experience the entire process of the birth of the American national anthem.

It is of great importance. There was a heated discussion before the Congress meeting, and during the discussion, a person's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

This person is Franklin Roosevelt.

During the discussion, Franklin Roosevelt was extremely excited to call on lawmakers to determine that "The Stars and Stripes" will never fall as the national anthem of the United States! Not only that, he also called on Democrats to agree with this resolution.

Roosevelt's action surprised everyone. Because according to my relationship with him, he should have stood up and opposed it strongly this time, but this time, he actually made such a move, which really surprised me.

However, Roosevelt's actions also made many people feel a little bit favorable to him. At this point, he appeared on this side of the people.

"There are countless reasons for this movie by Mr. Corleon to be recorded in history, but the biggest one is that this movie directly created the national anthem of the United States! For the United States, for Hollywood, there are countless good movies, but there are only one movies from various countries in the United States, that is "The Patriot"!"

"Thank you Mr. Corleone, thank you DreamWorks, and thank you for the ancestors who created this song. Today, we have very good reasons to believe that after more than a hundred years, we Americans can finally have our own national anthem!"

This comment from CBS is considered to be a reflection of the people's hearts.

On December 25, 1930, at 2:00 pm. On Christmas Day. After half an hour of discussion and voting, US President Brian Rutman walked to the podium of the White House Press Office.

Opposite him, standing were all journalists from important American media.

The reporters were on high alert, staring at Rutman, looking forward to his announcement.

At this moment, countless people in the United States are waiting for this news.

Through TV, I saw the whole process.

Judging from the media and the public's reactions, it is quite optimistic about the proposal to make "The Stars and Stripes Never Fall" the national anthem site. However, this does not mean that the proposal will definitely be passed. Because there have been several proposals for the national anthem site in history, but in the end they were all shattered without reaching a consensus.

The final decision of the fate of this proposal was the members of Congress. The ideas of these people were sometimes very strange and no one could be sure of them. After all, there were all possible.

So when Rutman appeared on the TV screen, I was still a little nervous, and the guys around me were so nervous that they didn't dare to show up.

Once this proposal is passed, it not only means that the United States, which has not had a national anthem for more than a hundred years, has achieved a historic breakthrough, but also has great significance for our DreamWorks, because it has led to the birthplace of the American national anthem. It is our movie. Whenever people talk about the national anthem in the future, they will think of "Patriot" and DreamWorks. What a great honor!

So Stenberg, Griffith, Gans and others stared at the screen, and were so nervous.

On the screen, Rutman unfolded a manuscript in his hand, before reading it aloud. He looked at the reporters standing in front of him, then lowered his head and read it word by word: "After the president's proposal and Congress discussion, the federal government finally passed the proposal to set "The Stars and Stripes" as the American national anthem with unanimous vote! Starting today, this song will officially become the American national anthem and will be played with every time the Stars and Stripes rise!"

Rutman's words made me breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, all the guys standing behind me jumped up.

In this way, because of a movie, the American national anthem was born!

At 3:30 p.m. that day, after the federal government made the decision to determine the national anthem, President Rootman led all members of Congress to walk collectively to the large square in front of the White House and to the Washington Monument.

As president, Rutman presented wreaths to the monument to commemorate Washington and those who sacrificed their lives for the independence and freedom of the United States!

At this time, the magnificent "Stars and Stripes" sounded loudly on the square. This time, it was not an ordinary song, its identity was the national anthem of the United States!

At the moment when the song rang, officials at all levels of the United States and tens of thousands of people who participated in the memorial service stood up in a sacred manner, facing the huge monument, and united in this song.

After the commemoration, Rutman announced a decision on behalf of the federal government: Christmas every year is the birthday of the national anthem. At the same time, this day is Patriot Day! Every year, on this day, every part of the country will hold memorial ceremonies, raising the national flag and playing the national anthem to commemorate those patriots who have shown their lives for the independence and freedom of this country.

Such a decision has won the collective recognition and approval of the people.

Such a result was obviously something I had never expected before.

Christmas. When the people of Washington gathered in the square in front of the White House, when the Stars and Stripes never fell for the first time as the national anthem, I was on the plane.

I'm going back to Los Angeles.

After so many things and even almost lost my life, "Patriot" was finally filmed, and it received unprecedented support and success, and directly created the American national anthem, which makes me proud.

After the premiere of this movie, there was no need for me to stay in Washington. Gans and others advised me to return to Los Angeles. After all, it was very convenient to do things on my own territory, and there was no security problem. What's more, all Los Angeles people were already eager to return to me.

At exactly five o'clock in the afternoon, our plane landed at the Los Angeles Airport.

As Lenny pushed me out of the airport gate, there were Los Angeles people who came to greet us!

Endless, endless, shoulder to shoulder!

Next to the street and above the square, there are flying flags and slogans everywhere.

These people sang "The Stars and Stripes" at the same time, which made us very excited and relieved.

After leaving the airport, we did not return to the company, but were directly arranged by people from the Hollywood Municipal Government to enter the China Grand Theater.

This evening, there will be a grand premiere of the same scale! This premiere will undoubtedly set off another peak in the Christmas schedule of Hollywood movies in 1930.

This movie is exactly the movie "Gone with the Wind".

"Gone with the Wind" is considered by the public to be the only movie that can compete with "Patriot" among all the movies produced in Hollywood in 1930. It is considered to be one of the rare classics that Hollywood has built.

More importantly, "Gone with the Wind" is the first time since the establishment of Hollywood that all Hollywood film companies have collaborated on. This alone makes the movie itself have extraordinary significance.

Since its establishment, the struggle between major film companies has never stopped. Moreover, with the continuous growth of major film companies in recent years and as Hollywood movies become more and more prosperous, mergers and acquisitions and competitions between each other have become white-hot. Although a group of bosses of film companies usually smile when they meet, they are all in a secret sense.

The emergence of "Gone with the Wind" is an unprecedented record, and the film has attracted much attention because of the huge investment of the film itself, its indescribable big-name stars, gold medal productions, and authoritative companies.

It can be said that "Gone with the Wind" is a major event in Hollywood movies after "Patriot", and this event is naturally indispensable to our DreamWorks.

The two movies were premiered two nights one after another, which pushed Hollywood in 1930 to its peak.

China Grand Theater. This majestic and tall building has now become a landmark in Hollywood. When we arrived, it was not completely dark, but the outside of the Grand Theater was bright and magnificent.

The China Grand Theater is right next to the Avenue of Stars, and enthusiastic people and filmmakers can be seen everywhere.

"Grant, what are the people who are busy on the Avenue of Stars?" I looked at the crowded people in front of me and turned to ask Grant.

Grant chuckled at me: "Andre, in addition to the premiere of "Gone with the Wind", there is another interesting thing today."

The premiere of "Gone with the Wind" was as our car drove across the Avenue of Stars, not far from the entrance to the Avenue of Stars. From a distance, there were also reporters taking photos there frequently.

Logically speaking, it is normal for big stars to gather under the spotlight at the movie premiere, but the people in front of you are not the same as before.

Grant told me that besides Gone with the Wind, there were other fun things to do this night. This made me even more curious.

The car stopped at the entrance of the China Grand Theater. After we got out of the car, I motioned Gans to push me there to take a look.

"Mr. Corleon! Mr. Corleon is here!"

As far away, the reporters saw it, and they made way for me one after another.

When Gans pushed me to the front, I saw the faces of two little guys.
