That sunny morning and that breezy afternoon belong to the little story between Dale and Langley, which has never been known.
Dell didn't show off the gifts given to him by lanli to others, or even mention that he had a pleasant conversation with lanli. However, whenever lanli's works were shown, he would go to the cinema in person to buy a movie ticket, and then enjoy the good time of plastic film, even if his legs and feet began to be inconvenient, Even if he started to need crutches... He never changed this little habit.
About five years later, Dale's body finally began to make a strong protest, big and small diseases began to emerge, and he went in and out of the hospital intermittently. Then, just a little wrestling, he went directly into the hospital, and never left the small white room again——
Before he was hospitalized, he was still a gatekeeper for the well-known and unknown drama groups, and for the drama groups of those movies. Until he could no longer walk, he was forced to end his work. Dale's three sons and daughters rushed back to Cincinnati.
One afternoon, Dale was in a very good mood. It seemed that all the pain had disappeared. He looked at his son who was making arrangements for work over the phone and was very angry. He asked, "can you search for something... I don't know, spo or something,'Hello, my old heart '
The son couldn't understand his father's words at all, and he couldn't calm down his restlessness because of his work. He simply called his brother and sister to help them, but he didn't expect that the three brothers and sisters would quarrel in the ward: they all grew up, and they all had their own work and life, They all have their own troubles and troubles... Every day in Cincinnati is eating away at their lives.
Finally, it was Dell's granddaughter who quietly offered to help, "Papa, what do you need my help searching for?"
Dell's explanation is still not clear, but the young people finally found a way to complete the search work through Google.
"Grandfather, this... This is a song. It's a song in the second series of lanli. Do you know lanli? It's the actor, a very famous actor. I remember you took me to see his movie before. It's the... Er... "Granddaughter's memory has been a little blurred, but Dell still remembers," crazy love. "His reminder brightened her eyes." yes, it's the protagonist of that movie. "
But after the reaction, the confusion followed, "grandfather, why do you suddenly want to search for lanli's songs? Don't you prefer blues and jazz? "
Dale patted the back of his granddaughter's hand. Instead of answering, he said, "play it to me."
That song was hummed like this.
"Ba Ba Ba, Ba Ba Ba", a light and flexible tune humming through the melody, the disputes and noise in the ward unconsciously calmed down, and then someone began to complain, "why do you play music in the hospital? Don't you know that noise should be banned in hospitals? "
Among the complaints, you can hear a low voice calling, "Hey, Dale", and then continue to sing with the tune, "Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba", which makes the granddaughter directly stunned, and turn her head to look at Dale inconceivably, "grandfather, what was that voice just now?"
Dell didn't answer, but quietly listened, and the familiar lyrics began to flow, "Hello, my original heart, are you ok? Are you still beating in my chest? "
Dell's eyes moistened slightly, nodded gently, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: Hello, my first heart; Then he slowly closed his eyes and hummed along with them. The familiar lyrics shuttled through the unfamiliar melody and collided with a smart and graceful dance, just like the breeze telling those old legends and long-term stories, telling all the pain and memories.
Dale felt as if he was beginning to dance, and his whole body became light.
After singing a song, the granddaughter was completely frightened. She immediately played the song again, and started searching for the lyrics on Google. She successfully confirmed that the low call at the beginning of the song was indeed "Dell", and countless don Quixotes tried to uncover the secret of the call, "who Dell is", but so far there is still no answer.
After waiting for the parents and elders to leave, the granddaughter carefully asked Dale, "grandfather, the first call... Is it you?"
She knew that her idea was ridiculous, even a bit wild, but she still couldn't help guessing. Those scattered clues were linked together, which triggered a big explosion in her mind, and she couldn't stop. So she said her idea, hoping to be confirmed.
Dell didn't admit, but didn't deny, "you know what? I still remember that afternoon. I was just a doorman, and he was out of reach. I tried to say something to him to show that I was brilliant. Then I dreamed that I could catch up with Hollywood bigwigs and show off to your father, your aunt and uncle. My job was not as humble as I thought. "
"But I didn't expect that he really talked to me, and even talked to me about movies, about the trivial things that I like movies. Involuntarily, I forgot the thought of showing off, just simply talked about my own ideas, can you imagine? I even commented on his performance, Jesus Christ. I can't believe I did, but the fact is, I did, and he was very happy. "
"At that time, I realized that the person who really has a dream will shine. I also want to be like him, but later I realized that I was already like him, but I need to be more firm. Joanna, I hope you can be a happy person
Those specious and ambiguous words brought too much shock, but failed to clearly reveal the answer. When the granddaughter tried to further understand, Dell was tired and fell into a state of half dreaming and half waking, so her questions could not be answered.
That afternoon, Dale listened to the song over and over again, almost possessed; At midnight, he hummed the familiar tune and died in his sleep. When he left, the corner of his mouth was still with a bright smile, because he hugged his original heart and fell asleep, never separated.
When lenley released the second series, even Don Quixote, the most loyal and most determined, had no way to know who the "Dell" in "Hello, my original heart" was.
Some people have asked Lan Li many times, such as in public, in private, on social networks and so on. However, Lan Li has never told the story behind it. He just said, "that's a man who loves life", which has aroused countless conjectures, but no one can know the real answer.
It was not until a long time later that the secret was revealed.
A 19-year-old female college student named Joanne Davis accidentally found a letter among her grandfather's belongings, revealing the answer.
The pure and moving melody was presented to an unknown old man named "Dell Davis" by Langley. He had no fame or achievements. He was an ordinary man. He used to be a farmer in the south, but later he became a janitor in Cincinnati. There was nothing wonderful to write in his long life, It didn't seem to have any interaction with lanli at all.
But it can be seen from the letterhead that Dell once had a conversation with lanli, which triggered lanli's inspiration, and then wrote this song to Dell; Judging from the time of the letterhead message, that should be what happened during the shooting of "Carol" in Cincinnati, and Dell is exactly the gatekeeper of the crew.
Tracing back to the source, the whole story is revealed bit by bit, and the memories of Raleigh and dale are forever in the melody.
It's a pity that Dell never shared it. Instead, he strictly left that memory to himself. Even Joanna knew only a few words, and could not get the whole picture.
The letter, admitted by lanli himself, was written by him and presented to Dell; However, about the story between them, lanli still didn't talk too much about it, "it belongs to our memory, all the stories are in this melody, we still keep some respect.".
After the truth was revealed, it caused an uproar, and countless discussions were confirmed by the letter paper.
Later, the letter, written by lanli, appeared in a private auction on the black market, with the highest amount of $140000.
Many people have advised Dell's three children to auction the letter, which can improve their lives and is the only property Dell has left. There were fierce differences of opinion among the three children, and they even had to go to the judicial process for a time; But in the end, they didn't sell.
Rumor has it that the Davis family received a check for $140000 from Langley in the name of royalty income sharing, which is the reason for their cancellation of the auction; However, this rumor has never been confirmed, which is just a shadow in the market, unable to identify the true and false.
But no matter what, the letter was kept in the Davis family, and finally inherited by her granddaughter Joanna, but it still belonged to the whole family, stored in the house in Cincinnati, passed on all the way, and became a part of "grandfather's memory" that everyone knows, and the "original intention" was also preserved.
how are you? My original intention.
