The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2108
[2072 Memory Treasures]
That sunny morning and that breezy afternoon were a little story between Dale and Renly that no one had ever known.
Dale didn’t show anyone the gift that Renly had given him, or even mention that he and Renly had a good conversation, but whenever Renly’s work came out, he personally went to the cinema and bought one. Movie tickets, and then enjoy the good time that belongs to the film, even if his legs and feet start to be inconvenient, even if he starts to need crutches… This little habit has never been changed.
About five years later, Dale’s body finally began to protest strongly, diseases of all sizes began to emerge, and he went in and out of the hospital intermittently. Then, with just a small fall, he was directly admitted to the hospital, and he was never able to leave again. That little white ward—
before he was hospitalized, he was still a janitor, janitor for the well-known and unknown crews, for the crews of those movies and TV shows, until he could no longer walk , which was forced to end his work.
Dale’s three sons and daughters rushed back to Cincinnati.
One afternoon, Dale’s spirits were very good, and it seemed that all the ailments had disappeared. He looked at his son who was arranging work over the phone and looked irritable, and asked, “Can you be there… I don’t know, Search for something like spo or something, ‘Hello, My-Old-Heart’?” The
son couldn’t understand his father’s words at all, and his irritable emotions due to work could not be calmed down. I simply called my brother and sister over and asked them to help, but I didn’t expect the three brothers and sisters to quarrel in the ward: they have all grown up, they have their own jobs and lives, and they all have their own troubles And trouble… every day they spend in Cincinnati is eating away at their lives.
In the end, it was Dell’s granddaughter who silently helped, “Papa, what do you need me to help you search for?”
Dell’s explanation was still not clear, but the young man finally found a way and completed it through Google. Search for jobs.
“Grandpa, this… this is a song, a song in Renly’s second album, do you know Renly? It’s that actor, a very, very famous actor, I remember you took me to see him before. ‘s movie, it’s the one… er…” The granddaughter’s memory was a little blurry, but Dale still remembered, “‘Love is crazy'”, his reminder brightened the granddaughter’s eyes, “Yes, The protagonist of that movie.”
But confusion followed, “Grandpa, why do you suddenly want to search for Renly’s songs? Don’t you like blues and jazz more?”
Dale tapped Patting the back of his granddaughter’s hand, he didn’t answer, but said,
“Play it to me.”
That’s how the song hummed.
“Baba, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Play music? Don’t you know noise should be banned in hospitals?”
A low voice could be heard looming over the grumbling, “Hey Dale,” and then resumed humming to the tune.” Papapa, Papapa”, which made the granddaughter stunned, turned her head to look at Dale in disbelief, “Grandpa, what was that voice just now?”
Dale didn’t answer, just listened quietly, the familiar The lyrics of Dale flowed, “Hello, my original intention, are you okay? Are you still beating in my chest?”
Involuntarily, Dale’s eyes became slightly moist, and he nodded lightly, using only The voice I could hear muttered: Hello, my original intention; then I slowly closed my eyes, and hummed along with it, the familiar lyrics shuttled and collided with the unfamiliar melody. With a smart and graceful dance, like a breeze telling those ancient legends and long-standing stories, all the pain and memories are narrated.
Dale felt as if he was starting to dance, and all the cells in his body became lighter.
After singing the song, the granddaughter was completely frightened. She immediately played the song again and started searching for the lyrics on Google, successfully confirming that the low call at the beginning was indeed “Dell” and Countless Don Quixotes have tried to unravel the secret of the calling, “Who the hell is Dale”, but so far there is no answer.
After waiting for the parents and elders to leave, the granddaughter cautiously asked Dale, “Grandpa, that call at the beginning…is that you?”
She knew that her thoughts were very absurd, and even a little wild, but she still couldn’t help guessing, Those sporadic clues were connected in series, causing a big explosion in her mind, and she couldn’t stop at all, so she said her thoughts, hoping to be confirmed.
Dale didn’t admit it, but didn’t deny it, “You know what? I still remember that afternoon, I was just a janitor and he was out of reach, and I tried to say something to him about how talented I was, and then I dreamed that I could talk to the big guys in Hollywood, and I could show off to your dad, your aunt and uncle when I turned around, and my job was not as humble as I imagined.”
“But I didn’t expect that he was serious .
Really talked to me, and even talked to me about movies, about the trivial things about liking movies. Involuntarily, I forgot those bragging thoughts, and just simply talked about my own thoughts, you can Imagine? I even commented on his performance, Jesus Christ, and I can’t believe I actually did it, but the truth is, I did, and he was very happy.
” The man of dreams, he will shine. I wanted to be like him too, but then I realized that I am already that person, but I need to be more determined. Joanna, I hope you can Be a person who makes yourself happy.”
Those specious and ambiguous words brought too much shock, but did not reveal the answer clearly. When the granddaughter tried to understand more, Dale was already tired and groggy. In a half-dreaming state, her questions could not be answered.
That afternoon, Dyer listened to the song over and over again, almost obsessed; at midnight, humming the familiar tune, he died in his sleep.
When he left, there was still a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, because he embraced his original intention and fell into dreamland, and will never be separated.
When Renly released the second album, even the most loyal and hard-core Don Quixote had no way of knowing who the “Dell” in “Hello, My Original Mind” was.
People have asked Renly many times, in public, private meetings, social networks, etc., but Renly has never told the story behind it, just said, “That’s a person who loves life”, which has caused countless people. Conjecture, but no one has ever been able to know the real answer.
It was not until a long time later that the secret was revealed.
A nineteen-year-old female college student named Joanne-Davis discovered the answer when she accidentally found a letter among her grandfather’s belongings.
That pure moving tune was given by Renly to an unknown old man named “Dell-Davis” who had no fame and no achievements, just an ordinary man, formerly from the South A farmer who later became a janitor in Cincinnati, there was nothing exciting to write about in his long life, and it seemed that there was no intersection with Renly at all.
However, according to the letterhead, it can be seen that Dell once had a conversation with Renly, and that conversation triggered Renly’s inspiration, and then specially wrote this song for Dell; judging from the time of the message on the letterhead, it should be “card” “Roll” happened during filming in Cincinnati, and Dyer happened to be the janitor on the set.
Tracing back to the source, the whole story is revealed little by little, and the memory that belongs to Renly and Dale will remain in the melody forever.
Unfortunately, Dell never shared it, but kept that memory strictly to himself.
Even Joanna only knew only a few words, there was no way to know the whole picture.
The letter, which Renly himself admitted, was indeed written by him and given to Dale; however, about the story that belonged to them, Renly still did not talk much about it, “That is our memory, All the stories are in this melody, and we still maintain some respect.”
After the truth was revealed, there was an uproar, and countless discussions were corroborated with letterheads.
Later, the letterhead written by Renly appeared in a private auction on the black market, and the maximum amount was once called for $140,000.

Many people persuaded Dell’s three children to auction off the letterhead, which could improve their lives and was the only property Dell left behind.
There were fierce disagreements between the three children, and even went to judicial proceedings at one point; but in the end, they still did not sell.
It is rumored that the Davis family received a check for $140,000 from Renly in the name of royalties, which is why they cancelled the auction; but this rumor has never been confirmed, it is only anecdotal It’s just catching the wind, and can’t identify the true and false.
But no matter what, this letter was kept in the Davis family, and finally inherited by the granddaughter Joanna, but still belonged to the whole family, stored in the house in Cincinnati, passed down all the way, and became everyone. It is a part of the “grandfather’s memory” that everyone knows, and that “original intention” has been preserved in this way.
Are you OK?
My original intention.
Note: Hello, my original intention (Hello, My-Old-Heart – The-Oh-Hellos)
