Chapter 1292: Integration
The collision and intertwining of string tones stirred in the air, light and cheerful, bright and sad. The notes that flowed freely and endlessly collided with each other, and sparks bloomed proudly. The whole world began to spin, as if following the dance steps. The hem of her skirt is flying freely.
Everything is so simple and so pure.
Standing in the crowd, Hunter couldn't help but hold his breath and stared at the surveillance screen intently, fearing to miss any detail. However, he slowly closed his eyes between the rush and bloom of the music, and listened with his ears, heart, and heart. The soul feels the melody jumping on the skin.
Light. carefree. joy. Happiness——
Just for enjoying the show.
Bitter. sad. Sad. Helpless——
The complexity hidden behind the melody slowly unfolds on the tip of the tongue.
This is the magic of music.
Hunter would not say, this is Johnny Cash, he knows and clearly identifies that this is not Johnny Cash, but truly excellent music has a soul, inherited from Johnny Cash and with his own The soul blooms proudly for the soil, interpreting and interpreting a new and unique charm.
Maybe, it's not Johnny Cash, but it's still good music.
A ball of moving heat surged in his chest.
In fact, Hunter originally planned to raise objection——
Are the crew amateurs? Didn't they investigate in depth?
Johnny went to Sun Records to audition. Gospel music was shot, but he still impressed the legendary Sam Phillips with a self-written track.
That song was, "Cry, Cry, Cry," another legendary track and Johnny's first single on Sun Records.
Not "Folsom Prison Blues." To be precise, this song was released in 1955, two years ago, and fully launched Johnny into his prime.
Hunter could understand why the crew chose "Folsom Prison Blues". This song played a very important role in Johnny's career and was also an important coordinate that defined Johnny's career and was widely circulated; but the crew There was no respect for the facts and no respect for Johnny, which in Hunter's opinion was unfortunate.
If Hunter didn't know, forget it.
The point is, this matter is not a secret among Johnny Cash fans, and many people know it.
Hunter believes that the film should encounter a lot of criticism after its release——
No respect for facts.
If the creative team arbitrarily changes the lives of real people and makes up stories, then why make a biographical movie?
Leaving aside the others, Hunter was dissatisfied anyway. He didn't like others casually changing Johnny Cash's life, at least the part he knew.
But now?
Hunter fell silent, immersed in the melody, and allowed his thoughts to spread.
Those melodies and performances, even without singing, can still feel the passion and enthusiasm between the strings, which makes people's blood boil.
In a daze, Hunter understood something.
Everything, as Sam Phillips said, he longed to see Johnny Cash's edges and colors, if this was the most important song in Johnny Cash's life, if this was Johnny Cash's show A song for God, if this is the song that defines Johnny Cash as a singer -
Well, it would be "Folsom Prison Blues." In this song, it not only shows Johnny's musical talent, but also Johnny's courage and belief, as well as the world Johnny saw when he was growing up——
We always habitually resist those painful dark memories, but the cruelest and most absurd fact in reality is that it is precisely these pains that achieve the final self, polishing and carving out its edges bit by bit; at the same time, the most beautiful part of artistic creation is The best soil is also for those with pain and sorrow.
Happiness often fails to produce true masterpieces of art.
There is only suffering. Suffering is the breeding ground for art.
Therefore, by daring to face his own wounds and darkness, the most beautiful and moving work of Johnny Cash's career was born.
It is precisely because of this that the "Walking with a Song" crew chose this song as Johnny's audition song, not because it is the most famous and important, but because it can see the real Johnny.
Moreover, this was also an important turning point in the first half of Johnny's music career, representing his maturity and transformation at the creative level.
Everything has a reason.
What's more, the performance in front of him was so moving and sincere that Hunter couldn't help but immerse himself in it, unable to extricate himself from wandering in the melody.
It has been a full six months since Johnny Cash passed away. However, for Hunter, it is still a fact that is difficult to accept. He misses Johnny's performance, he misses listening to Johnny's singing live, and he misses John. Those times when Ni used music to soothe his soul.
Until this time.

Those notes, those melodies, are like trickles, flowing along the ravines of the heart, gently and delicately healing the wounds hidden in the corners. The slight sting made Hunter's eyes feel warm, as if Rediscover the emotion of listening to Johnny Cash live.
Hunter looked a little embarrassed.
He quickly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, wiped his cheeks, and covered up his embarrassment. He couldn't betray Johnny Cash. How could an actor's performance be compared with that of his idol?
Inadvertently, Hunter noticed Cody's gaze and inadvertently noticed his embarrassment.
Hunter quickly looked away, looked to the side and around to hide his embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Hunter noticed that the crowd around him had all quieted down. There was no noise, no irritation, no impatience, nothing. Everyone was looking at the monitor attentively. Even if they couldn't see the screen clearly, they raised their ears and listened intently. , immersed in the music.
Those faces don't lie.
The world was quiet, with only the melody coming from Sun Records, melodious and moving.
Time flows gurglingly, but it is difficult to tell whether it is flowing forward or backward. In a trance, it seems to have returned to half a century ago.
On an ordinary morning, a salesman put on his black shirt and headed to Sun Records nervously and reservedly. He embraced his music dream but was too shy to say it. He gave himself a chance to stand in front of a complete stranger. Perform your own creations in front of people——
Before this, he had never performed in front of any strangers, including his wife and best band members, but he finally took a step forward.
The rest, is history.
It is conceivable that on that morning half a century ago, no one noticed this scene, and even if they noticed it, they did not care; but on this morning half a century later, people stood beside the long river of time and witnessed the birth of history with their own eyes. It was such a magical and wonderful feeling that my heart surged uncontrollably.
The melody is still playing.
The performance continues.
Unknowingly, the boundary between reality and drama has completely disappeared. Whether it is a movie or life, no one notices or cares.
