Chapter 1283 Silky Connection
Discussing dreams in Vanity Fair and in a commodity society is undoubtedly a stupid thing to do.
Sam Phillips knew this, otherwise Elvis Presley's record contract wouldn't have changed hands.
But looking at it from another perspective, this is Sam's only persistence and belief.
It was with this belief that Sam discovered Elvis and achieved Elvis's glory, even laying the foundation for the birth of rock and roll.
Likewise, it was with this belief that after losing Elvis, Sam regained his peace and continued to make music in Memphis down-to-earth.
In Vanity Fair, there are still people who are willing to believe in dreams foolishly and naively.
It was a trough, a chaotic and dark period. No one knew whether Sun Records could get back on its feet, and of course, no one cared——
In the 1950s, there were countless independent music studios like Sun Records, ranging from 10,000 to 8,000. However, they were all wiped out in the tide of the times. Even RCA later stepped down, and Sun Records turned around. Forgotten.
Until Sam Phillips discovered Johnny Cash, Johnny's cooperation with Sun Records led to the glory of the American music industry in the 1950s. In that distant era, Johnny's album sales exceeded 10 million, and Let Sun Records become the top player in the industry.
The cooperation between Sam and Johnny lasted for thirty years. It was not until the mid-to-late 1980s, when Johnny had passed his peak period, that he switched to Columbia Records to cooperate. The private friendship between the two people broke up. It can also be said to be a good story in Vanity Fair.
Sam made Johnny, and Johnny made Sam.
In 1986, Sam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the United States as a non-artist. Compared with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash was the most important chapter in Sam's career.
As he talked, Dallas entered his own world and couldn't stop talking. Naturally, he lost his previous restraint.
Finally, Dallas noticed the encouraging gazes of Larry and Dan-John, cut off his words, and looked at Anson with a little anxiety, worried that he might have been too showy just now.
Just when Dallas was about to explain, Anson stepped forward and said, "Wow, you did your homework."
Dallas was stunned, "What?"
Anson, "I say, you did your homework, you know Sam inside out, you should believe in yourself, you can do a great job."
"Hey, I'm just a shell and a skin. I'm not Daniel Day-Lewis."
The easy self-deprecation made the atmosphere relaxed, so much so that Dallas couldn't help scratching his head and laughing out loud, but he was still a little nervous——
The first scene of "Walking with Songs" was also the first step that changed his career, but it happened to be a problem.
In this scene, Sam Phillips needs to examine and judge Johnny Cash. Although he is not as arrogant and rude as the record company producer in his impression, Sam still maintains his humility; but he must show his professionalism. Rejecting Johnny in a callous manner.
Yes, refuse.
For Dallas, this was equivalent to giving Anson a slap in the face; and it was also the first scene the crew started filming, so it was impossible without pressure.
Anson noticed, because Dallas couldn't hide his expression at all, which made Anson laugh directly.
It seems that in the eyes of others, he is no different from Godzilla now.
"Oh, the first scene, we started right in the studio."
Dallas, "Ah!"
Unable to control himself, he exclaimed, and there was laughter all around.
Here at Sun Records, there are two scenes before entering the recording studio. One is when Johnny passes by accidentally and notices the record company here; the other is when Johnny comes to the door and introduces himself when he is desperate, hoping to get a recording audition. opportunity.
Then, it was Johnny who came to record. The first two scenes were relatively simple and relaxed, just keep it as normal as possible; but because the order at the shooting scene had not been completely restored, and the selection of extras had not been completed, we took the lead in filming the scenes in the recording studio, which was Johnny's audition. The highlight.
Dallas felt his knees begin to weaken.
The heartstrings that had been slightly relieved became tense again.
Larry looked at Dallas and laughed happily, "Man, we are the ones here to audition, but you are more nervous than us. How can you do this?"
Dallas was not in the mood to joke, "NG, what else could the outcome be?"
"I don't want to piss off the whole crew by NGing ninety-nine times in the first scene."
Dallas began to painfully pull out his hair.
Dan John, "Ah, my hair may need to be redone. It will delay the boot time."
The calm tone of the statement, without any complaints or ridicule, immediately stunned Dallas. He suddenly raised his head and looked forward with a dull expression on his face. There was no luster in his eyes, as if his soul had left home.
Larry laughed heartily and brightened up completely.
However, the filming was finally ready. Regardless of whether Dallas was nervous or not, the crew, which had been delayed for so long, could no longer wait. They had to start filming without any time delay.

Outside the Sun Records Museum, tourists led by Hunter stretched their necks and stood on tiptoes, trying to capture what was happening at the filming site. However, everything was blocked by the building walls and nothing could be seen.
Hunter looked a little irritable——
Something is wrong. Didn't they agree that they could see the crew filming and take the opportunity to visit the space inside Sun Records?
Result, that's it?
"Sight, please look here."
Cody appears, like a commentator who tours the filming set at Universal Studios, responsible for guiding visitors and boosting the atmosphere.
"The space in the recording studio is limited. Except for essential staff and actors, everyone on the crew must keep a distance to avoid entering the camera or having the sound included, including the director."
With just one word, Hunter and the others immediately calmed down their agitation and concentrated their attention. Following Cody's instructions, they saw the director Mangold and the monitor in front of him, which showed everything inside the recording studio. picture.
"Ah, Anson!"
Someone shouted, but Hunter noticed the important point immediately:
Wearing a black shirt and black trousers, Anson is solemn and solemn. His tall and straight figure makes him look cool and free in the wind. He easily steals all the attention in the recording studio space.
The image of "The Man in Black" Johnny Cash suddenly appeared on the page.
But Hunter shook his head slightly in disgust.
"Johnny's temperament is tough. He is too handsome, so he doesn't look like Johnny at all."
It’s always the case with biopic casting that you can never please everyone.
Not far away, Mangold heard it, and the breeze brought his words, "That's why people say there is only one Johnny Cash. But Johnny is also looking forward to Anson's performance. He said that in his eyes he is He looks so handsome.”
With a small joke, everyone burst into laughter.
Including Hunter.
