Chapter 229 Premiere of "Sword Dance Allure"
The factory logo of Yixing Entertainment and Penguin Pictures flashed by, and a figure was slowly walking on the melodious and tortuous path.
The camera's lens kept getting closer, and the figure became clearer and clearer, slender, with a blue shirt and Taoist robe, extraordinary demeanor, and wandered in the garden.
Then to the close-up of the face, the eyebrows are flying, the eyes are as deep as the sea, the pink cheeks are as bright as peaches and plums, but the faint smile has an amazing charm that makes people fascinated.
The first shot of "Sword Dance in the City" chose to start with Zhou Yi's appearance.
Zhou Yi's aura is definitely different from most actors. Even if he just stands quietly in the corner, he will definitely be the most shining and attractive one. At this moment, he is just a simple walk, but he can easily create a very unique artistic conception and charm.
It's like a timeless poem or a faded landscape painting.
For most Westerners in the cinema, they also instantly felt this unique style from Eastern civilization. They were shocked by Zhou Yi's beautiful appearance, their eyes gradually widened and their spirits were highly focused.
Unlike audiences who only go to the cinema once or twice a year, or those who like popcorn special effects blockbusters, watching movies is simply for fun and fun. Most of the audiences who choose to attend the film festival have aspirations for art. Most of them have seen many movies from all over the world, and naturally put themselves on the level of high esteem, review and judgment.
Just like online articles, the novice readers who have just started to come into contact with can be said to be hungry, and even ordinary books can be read with relish and their blood is boiling.
Those old white readers who have been studying for several years or even more than ten years are very picky and difficult to serve. For most books, the first chapter that opens to immerse them in the story instead of criticizing and reviewing the attitude, it definitely requires the master's writing skills or very novel subject matter.
Although the work "Sword Dance in the City" has not reached the top film master's level in terms of camera use and structure, it has a very unique future in style and color.
Implementing the idea that beauty is the first priority, every frame of the picture in "Sword Dance" strives to best show the beauty. This is very difficult for the actors to perform, and it is even easy to cause the plot to tear apart.
However, Zhou Yi's performance was completely flawless and flawless. She quickly stimulated the interests and enthusiasm of most viewers in the cinema with her strong aura and beautiful image, and pulled it into the story from the perspective of critics and reviewers.
The plot line of "Sword Dance in the City" is strictly a bit weak. The plot serves the characters and the story serves the pursuit of aesthetic art. However, the extreme of the sword can bring novel experiences and a shock that seems to have become dull.
China is a great country. In its long history for thousands of years, it has been the undeserved world number one and the country above the Celestial Empire.
However, in modern times, it was in decline and destruction, and even had a great crisis of national destruction. It was not until the establishment of the Republic and the rapid development of China's economy that it slowly stood up again and stood on the top of the world's nation.
However, in the inherent impression of foreigners, in the expression of many previous film and art works, they either showed the image of the modern and modern ruined and poor China, or the image of the latest and highly developed modern civilization, but rarely could there be any works that express the glorious culture and magnificent atmosphere of China in ancient times.
Cultural barriers do exist, but nationality is the world.
"Sword Dance in the City" is like a carefully drawn painting of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It slowly spreads out among all the audience with Gongsun Yao's figure.
It was clearly a thousand three hundred years ago that the cities of China were so neat and beautiful. The people were wearing clean clothes and their faces were filled with passionate smiles, rather than thin figures and numb and dull eyes.
There is no inferiority complex, only confidence, no backwardness, only development.
This is a completely different country of China. It is the rich, prosperous, powerful and majestic country of porcelain and silk that countless Europeans have described for thousands of years since the Roman era.
As the movie progressed, the audience's amazement came from time to time in the cinema.
Especially when the 18 aerial scenes of Chang'an City in the prosperous Tang Dynasty took place at the same time in the only super metropolis with a population of one million in the world at that time, the long scroll spread out like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" made many people completely stunned.
This is a collision of different civilizations, and it is also a display and propaganda of Chinese civilization. It is the grand atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the straight backbone of the Chinese people.
Even if the collision and display of ubiquitous civilizations is erased, this movie is still firmly grasping everyone's eyes.
Because Gongsun Yao in the play is really amazing.
When she performed the sword dance, screams and cheers in the theater came one after another. Although most of the audience were very qualitative, when the gorgeous and magical sword dance was really performed in front of everyone, the feeling of blood burning and boiling, the feeling of numbness from the sky spirit cover to the tail spine still made everyone unable to control the instinct of amazement and cheering.
It seems like I have seen the real wonder of the world.
Although most Westerners will be blind when watching Chinese people, the gorgeous Zhou Yi and Jiang Yingyue, who are full of classical sculpture beauty, are very outstanding beauty in the eyes of all moviegoers, and compared with other characters, they are even more outstanding.
The main line of the story is still above the standard. With the cruel and fierce court struggles, the princess becomes a restorer, and Zhou Yi, who is like an invincible god of war, can resolve all crises and conspiracies.
All the characters and all the stories are perfectly integrated with the scenery, telling the audience a legend of beauty.
When the real song of the colorful clothes and feathers was played in the Daming Palace, the grand and ethereal Chinese traditional song ignited the enthusiasm of many audiences, and they were very interested in this elegant music.
When Zhou Yi, wearing a classical long dress that was extremely gorgeous, danced a colorful dance in the middle of the stage, the entire cinema finally became boiling, as noisy as a vegetable market.
"It's incredible!"
“That’s so wonderful!”
"As beautiful as a goddess!"
"Is this the ancient Chinese country?"
"The miracle of human civilization!"
"I can't believe it, it's so beautiful!"
Speaking a variety of languages and with various tones, almost all the audience is expressing their excitement.
This is really a magical movie, an unprecedented experience, and every scene is so beautiful that it makes people reluctant to blink.
And when the movie finally came to the scene where Gongsun Yao and Zhou Qi lived in seclusion in the bamboo sea, the two beauties were like lotus flowers, hand in hand, and they really had extraordinary beauty, as if they were in a fairyland.
Westerners are more likely to accept homosexuality than China, and this kind of lily that is extremely beautiful will cause much less controversy. Many people hold their breath, fearing that they will miss this beautiful scene.
White mist is shrouded in the clouds. When the two beauties Gongsun Yao and Zhou Qi kiss each other in the hot spring, they are tightly pressed together, and the tenderness and sweetness that cannot be dissolved and the red love thread that cannot be untied finally pushes the aesthetic atmosphere to the extreme. The images of the two screen goddesses are frozen together, and the movie "Sword Dance in the City" is also over.
When the lights were on, Zhou Yi pulled Jiang Yingyue and other main creators came to the stage together and bowed to everyone to pay tribute.
A good news to celebrate, no audience left halfway during the entire screening of "Sword Dance in the City".
This is a very difficult achievement because there are the most picky audiences in the film festival. Whenever a plot that is mentally retarded or unacceptable to them appears, leaving is something that will inevitably happen.
When the audience leaves the seat, it will make a "bang" sound, like a hammer hitting the director and the starring actor's heart.
However, "Sword Dance in the City" which is different, really achieved the ultimate aesthetic, leaving all the audience until the end.
All the audience applauded seriously, and it was definitely not a polite applause. They patted very hard, and some people's hands were red, but they seemed to feel it.
Wei Daolin also applauded seriously on the stage. It was his first time to attend the Cannes Film Festival, but he has been in the film and television industry for nearly twenty years.
A movie like "Sword Dance in the City" is so beautiful that he watched the whole show in a flash. Although Li Longji, who performed by himself, seemed to be completely surpassed by the images of Gongsun Yao and Zhou Qi, this movie is really great!
Especially the magnificent atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty really made him excited and passionate as a Chinese. This is our great China and our great history!
Our ancestors have been rich, and they are the real country of the Celestial Empire! We are also pursuing great rejuvenation now!
The starring actors Zhou Yi and Jiang Yingyue received the most applause and attention. Jiang Yingyue's hands were still a little shaking. She had not graduated from Beijing Film Academy yet, but she had already stood on the stage of the Cannes Film Festival and contributed a very exciting performance.
She really used all her potential to play Zhou Qi, striving to do her best. She was under great pressure to play with the non-human Zhou Yi. If she was not careful, the role of "Zhou Qi" might be dull, and the story would lose balance, and she would completely become a one-man show for Gongsun Yao.
Now, the enthusiastic applause from the audience is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of her.
For a girl who likes to perform and has a persistent pursuit of acting, performing such a classic role at the age of 21, and standing on the stage in Cannes, it is really a dreamy experience.
And what brought her these was undoubtedly Zhou Yi who was holding on to her hands at this moment.
It was him who made her successful. Otherwise, as a student who had not yet left school, she was the most powerful now, and she could play the second and third female roles in TV series, performing those exaggerated scenes with an exaggerated expression, and then gaining popularity with her face, right?
And beside Zhou Yi and Yixing Entertainment, her life is so clean and pure, just perform with your heart. No other people need to be a good person, and Zhou Yi will pave the way for her.
Film critic Scott also stood up and applauded very rhythmically. Among the audience, he was the most rational and decent, but inevitably, he was still influenced by "Sword Dance in the City".
Speaking of which, he had never seen such a distinctive movie.
It has a strong Chinese characteristics, but it is completely different from all previous Chinese films. It creates the most prosperous and powerful "Tang" era more than a year and three hundred years ago.
In the two-hour movie, the storyline can only be scored at most 6 points, but it is absolutely perfect in the pursuit of aesthetic art.
Zhou Yi created a unique image in it. "She" is extremely powerful and beautiful. More importantly, this movie tells the traditional Chinese spiritual style.
The style called "Scholar".
As a professional film critic with 30 years of experience, he has watched too many movies from all over the world, but "Sword Dance in the City" is so unique, perfectly integrating beauty and Chinese style, forming a magical movie that always makes people feel like they are on the clouds and mountain mist.
This is undoubtedly an innovation, a great innovation.
The movie has a history of more than a hundred years. Now, the theory and genre of film have not developed greatly for many years, but this "Sword Dance in the City" has a strong and unique style, just like a colorful beauty in black and white photos, so shining.
It is precisely because of this unique and distinctive innovation that the weakness in the plot is less important.
Scott appreciates and likes "Sword Dance" so much that he does not rush to write a review, but can't wait to wait for the next screening and watch it again.
He wants to enjoy it again and see how this movie achieves such perfect coordination and unity in the plot, characters and structure, so that it can maintain such an aesthetic style without fading.
The three-minute warm applause made the main creators of "Sword Dance in the City" on the stage smile with joy. "Sword Dance in the City" was obviously successful. As a Chinese costume film with such a distinctive style, it has won the recognition of world audiences. This step is really not easy to take.
The audience waiting outside the cinema could not wait to enter the venue, and they also heard such warm applause, which was rare in the Cannes Film Festival. Obviously, "Sword Dance in the City" is a good movie.
But something unexpected happened. The door was clearly open, but not many viewers chose to leave. Most of them sat steadily in their seats, chatting enthusiastically with the people around them, sharing, and waiting for the start of the next screening.
There was a long queue outside the door, but only more than a hundred lucky audiences entered the cinema, which naturally caused riots.
"Why don't you let us in? This is a cinema with more than 500 people!" The audience at the front of the queue shouted angrily.
"Sorry, the seats are full!" The staff waved his hand and refused, "Many people didn't come out, but wanted to watch the next game!"
"This is unfair! I protest! I strongly demand that everyone can only watch once! We are all waiting to enter! I have been waiting for an hour in line!"
Chapter completed!
