During the filming of the film, both Richard and Cullen came to visit the class, and they were very unhappy with Alex's new film, because there was no room for them in the film.

"Brother Alex! People are also going to make movies, why don't you arrange a beautiful woman to appear in this film? Karen gestured angrily and said, "Would it be nice to add one more female agent?" Please! ”

After hearing this, Alex hurriedly scratched his head and said distressedly: "How can there be a teenage female agent!" Don't make trouble, this is a non-shootout kung fu movie, not for you. ”

Karen was angry when she heard this, and she felt that she was being underestimated.

Only Richard smiled happily and said, "What about the male agent?" One more should be fine, although I'm young, but I can wear the same makeup as you, and I won't look like any problem! ”

"That's right, makeup! I can also increase my age by wearing makeup! ”

Karen hurriedly clapped his hands and laughed, her idea is not bad, the children of the Carpenter family have a large skeleton, and they have been much taller than children of the same age since they were young. If you dress up a little, you may be able to fool the past, the only problem is that they don't know kung fu, and they have to let Bruce Lee teach them before they can shoot.

In the end, Alex was so worn out by them that he had no choice but to find a few small roles for them to play in the film. Among them, Cullen played a female secretary, who was rescued by Alex and escorted all the way out of the White House.

As for Richard, he played the role of the president's personal bodyguard and was a colleague of Alex. There have been several meetings and conversations. The most sensational was beaten to death in the arms of the protagonist, which made people feel sad and cry when they saw it.

Alex agreed to add them in and shoot some extra scenes, not because he was hot-headed, but because he had thought about it deeply.

The Carpenter siblings are very popular right now, especially among fans and movie fans, and have a strong appeal. In the past few years, they have made many non-movies with the support of DreamWorks and have become Hollywood first-line actors. Before this, Alex had also thought about bringing them over to shoot "Red Dawn". But at the time, Richard and Cullen were both busy with their own things.

Think again. In order not to disturb the life and work of his younger siblings, Alex did not open his invitation.

Now the situation is different, but Alex still thinks it's a bit overkill, and only lets the two of them play two small roles. It's too wronged for my younger brothers and sisters. I thought about it for a moment. He decided to compensate in other ways.

"I have two more songs here. We need your help! Alex brought out the film interlude that had been prepared for a long time, and he had intended to leave it to someone else to sing, since Richard and Cullen were free. Then the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

As soon as she heard the new song, Cullen immediately jumped up excitedly, and she grabbed the score and flipped through it: "California Dream" and "The Sound of Silence"? ”

"Give me a copy too!" Richard reached out to grab it, but unfortunately he couldn't grab his sister Karen.

Just hummed a sentence or two lightly, and after a quick look at the lyrics, Cullen had already grasped the tune of these two songs. Compared to "The Sound of Silence", she still likes the song "California Dream" more. So she handed Richard the score for "The Sound of Silence" and went to find her feel for the score for "California Dreams" alone.

When Richard got the score, he was immediately fascinated by the song as soon as he saw the lyrics and staves. He has long known that Alex's talent is extraordinary, and he has always refused to admit defeat, feeling that his talent in music is not much worse than that of his brother. Especially in the past few years, Alex has not come up with any decent works, and he has new songs on the list every year, which makes him feel a lot proud.

What he didn't expect was that when Alex came up with a new song again, it made him feel like he had been pulled down again. Whether it is the melody or the artistic conception of this song, it quickly resonates with his personal feelings.

"W-Is this song for us to sing?" Richard trembled with excitement, he felt that this song could be sung beautifully even if it was a cappella, and a guitar or something would be enough at most.

"Of course!"

"Is it the three of us singing together, or am I with you?"

"It's okay to sing a duet, I'll sing it with you!" After Alex finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "Or you can get several versions, such as male and female duets, trios, etc." ”

Richard closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and then said, "I still think a duet would be better, and it would be better to be a male duet." ”

Alex looked at each other in surprise, he really didn't expect Richard to be so perceptive, this song was originally written specifically for two men duet.

"Let's try it now, do you play the guitar or do I play it?" Richard thought he was about to do it, and he immediately pulled out his chair and stood up, humming into the score.

"Let me play!" Alex said unreservedly, he also stood up and took a guitar, memorized it and adjusted a few notes, and then the two sang slowly.

"It's a quiet night, my old friend! I have come to talk to you again, because the dream has quietly spread, leaving its seed. That dream is deeply rooted in my heart and still belongs to the silent voice. ”

"I woke up from a restless dream and wandered alone! Wandering along the cobblestone streets, the street lamps shining warmly on me, I surrendered everything to the cool night, when my eyes were bewildered by neon lights, it felt as if the night had been cut through and the touch of silent sounds. ”

The melody of "The Sound of Silence" is slow and sluggish, and the lyrics are full of a hallucinatory mood.

Listening carefully, it seems to tell a kind of catharsis of young helplessness. It seemed to me that I saw an ignorant girl, walking alone in a narrow, cold alley paved with cobblestones, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd was fading away behind her, and there was no end to the night ahead......

The song seems too deep if it is a ballad, and if the rhythm that vibrates with the strong music is rock, it is too delicate. Musically it creates a neutral body of the class, which is probably the biggest reason for its success.

The singing also attracted Karen on the side, she put down the music in her hand and quietly listened to the singing of her brothers. Alex and Richard were heard singing: "In this helpless night, I seem to see many people, who do not talk or listen. They write songs but don't share them with each other, and none of them dares to break the silence! ”

"Stupid! I said, you don't know, silence spreads like a cancer cell unscrupulously. Listen to me. Maybe I'll teach you! Holding my hand may affect you, but my voice is like a silent raindrop falling into an unfathomable well. People continue to bow down and worship the God they created! ”

"Signs are warnings. And make it public. So the song is sung. God's prophecies can be found everywhere, even in your nightmares. Only the silent voice remains, whispering in the air! ”

Ding Ding Dong. With the last few guitar tones, the song finally ends. But the artistic conception in that song made them unable to break free for a long time, and it was like a nightmare hanging over their heads.

"This, this song is so beautiful, why do I feel a sense of melancholy after listening to it?" Cullen smiled and applauded softly, "It's just that I still like "California Dream" more, and this song will be sung for the two of you." ”

Alex Ha Luha smiled, put the guitar in his hand aside, and said with a smile: "The song "Dream of California" is a song that our brother and sister sang together, you need to practice more!" ”

"Three-person chorus?"

Richard and Cullen looked at each other, and they were both very happy, they hadn't worked together for a long time. Since the last time the trio sang "If I Die" together, Richard and Cullen haven't had many opportunities to sing together.

I didn't expect Alex to come up with two songs at once this time, one of which was still sung by three people, and that feeling had been lost for a long time.

At the thought that the three of them would perform "California Dreams" together, Richard and Cullen studied it with great interest, trying to determine who would be the lead singer, who would harmonize, and who should sing the lyrics.

All of a sudden, it's as if they've gotten a funny toy, and it's like they've gotten candy. The three of them are like returning to the atmosphere they had when they filmed "If I Die Young" MTV together.

The problem of the film interlude is naturally not a problem.

Alex has even been able to determine that as long as this movie is released, any golden song award will be won by their three siblings. They spent some time busy recording the songs, and even defied the norm by launching the two songs as singles before the movie was released, and it quickly spread out in the record market.

Because the appeal of the Carpenter sibling group is so strong, many fans have been waiting for these two songs before they were released.

One of the big reasons is that Alex hasn't released a work for many years, and too many fans are already hungry by this time. Not only that, but even some newspapers quickly reported the news, which attracted the attention of many people in the music world.

To Alex's and others' surprise, the most sought after was "California Dream", rather than "The Sound of Silence", which all three of them were very optimistic about. If it weren't for the fact that this song was also produced by the Carpenter siblings, maybe this song would not have been favored by people at all. Most people don't hear what the song is trying to say, thinking that the lyrics are too innocent and moaning.

Fortunately, there are still many people of insight in the music world, who are full of praise for this song, believing that the song created by Alex is a footnote to this era, singing the voice of the times, and it will definitely be passed on.

One critic wrote in the newspaper: "The song was written in the '60s, which was an eventful time for America, with a series of turmoil and unrest. Internally, there is a heightened awareness of anti-racial discrimination and civil rights; Externally, they were burdened with the heavy burden of the 'Vietnam War'. It's a pity that such a good song with the disadvantages of the times was released today, but it was not favored, and people still listened to it. ”

As for the song "California Dream", it has become a brainwashing divine comedy, and it is played non-stop throughout the United States and Europe and the United States. You can hear it everywhere, and when you're at home, it's playing on the radio, on TV. When I went out, the neighbor was playing it. You can also hear it when you go to public places such as restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping malls.

Especially those hippies, they are deeply attracted by the melody of this song, and whenever they hear this melodious song, they seem to be able to see a girl walking in the gray and dull winter wind and dew, and miss the warm and warm sunny coast in their hearts.

On a spiritual level, "California Dream" is more in tune with the dreams of Americans in this era, and it's no wonder that people are ecstatic about its appearance. As for "The Sound of Silence", it is only after people wake up from a dream that they can clearly understand the state of the time.

It can be said that one is a dream song and the other is a waking song. They are all classics, and they can be passed on forever. These two songs, only after the movie is released, will someone slowly understand and really understand them. (To be continued......)
