Entertainment: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, standing upside down and kissing Swift

Looking back at Hollywood in the 1950s, the whole of North America was in a state of euphoria and wealth.

With”Singin’ in the Rain” as a symbol, musicals also reached their peak during this period.

Later, until the 21st century, musicals gradually fell into disrepute and were even considered dead.

《The first two episodes of”High School Musical” didn’t even make it to the big screen and could only be shown on the Disney Channel.

The group that has the right to speak in Hollywood always likes to remember the golden age and examine later movies with a critical eye.

Therefore, after Xu Can announced that he would be filming a musical, doubts about him have not stopped.

Xu Can has long been used to being questioned since Spider-Man began.

If it were any young white actor, he would have been hailed as the savior of Hollywood.

The mistake is that Xu Can is Chinese and has natural debuffs in Hollywood.

Xu Can is not someone willing to admit defeat. He will not play stereotypical roles in order to please the North American film industry or cater to the mainstream views of Hollywood.

He has been subverting the perception of the entire North American society from the beginning.

He said he couldn’t play Spider-Man, but he became the most handsome Spider-Man in history, with a box office of over 1.1 billion; said he couldn’t make Marvel, and”Iron Man” had a box office of nearly 1 billion; said he had a sunny temperament, and couldn’t play a villain, but the Joker he created He won an Oscar; now he is saying that Xu Can is tarnishing musicals and the golden age of Hollywood?

That he doesn’t understand musicals?

As Xu Can said to the media live on the red carpet:

“The movie will start soon. Remember to ask me the same question again after watching it. Do I not understand musicals?”

After saying that, Xu Can turned around and pulled Sister Shitou into the venue.

Anyway, Sister Shitou was used to Xu Can’s style. He was never afraid to challenge the mainstream groups in Hollywood. He was a disruptor and a subversive.

Deputy Director Da Mi En is worried. He knows that the quality of the film is great, but he is still worried that the whole society will not be able to appreciate their work.

Xu Can has offended the media to death. If”La La Land” fails, he can’t even imagine what he will suffer. What a blow.

I’m afraid Galaxy Entertainment will also suffer a heavy blow.

He doesn’t want the boomerang to hit him on the head.

“Do not worry.”Happy patted Damien on the shoulder.

“Don’t you understand Xu after all this time? Enjoy the win and enjoy the movie.”

The atmosphere in Galaxy 20 Cinema this time was not as lively as before.

Mainly because I had watched superhero movies before, which were very entertaining.

This time it is a literary and artistic musical, which is a niche category in itself. In addition, some media have previously rendered it, It also makes everyone less optimistic about Xu Can’s new attempt.

All of Xu Can’s successes have been in commercial blockbusters and action movies.

Is the step a little bigger this time?

Of course, fans who can calm down and watch musicals, Basically, it was relatively quiet.

The hall with more than 1,000 people was overcrowded, but even the sound of coughing could be heard clearly.

Film critic Roger Ebert and his friend William Guy also came to watch the movie.

Roger had a great impression of Xu Can. Yes, seeing that he did not enter his comfort zone, but challenged himself to shoot the song and dance genre,

Xu Can’s fighting spirit as a young man deserves encouragement, and it is worthy of the two thumbs up for every movie he makes. No matter what the final effect of the movie is, he I am willing to evaluate from the most objective perspective.

On the other hand, his friend William has been complaining to him all the way.

William, who is over 50, his favorite movie is”Singin’ in the Rain”.

He laments the demise of Hollywood musicals every day. Hollywood is gradually declining and becoming formulaic.

But whenever someone challenges the theme of song and dance, he can’t help but criticize. He criticized”Chicago” for being gaudy and”High School Musical” for being childish and vulgar.

Especially Xu Can, a Chinese, he was so anxious that” That New York Times article was written by William

“As I wrote in my column, does he understand musicals? How could you possibly understand?”

“It’s really intolerable to waste art in this field! Roger was speechless:”Have you seen it and commented here?” You racist!”

“I’m not discriminating!”

William quibbled:

“You don’t need to look at it to know that it must be a waste! Just wait, I’m going to criticize you hard at the end of the movie! Tell him to go back to making tight-fitting movies.”

It’s really a bit exaggerated, as if a masterpiece cherished in the second dimension has been adapted into a live-action version by a fledgling director.

Subconsciously, he felt that it was a waste of a masterpiece.

But he ignored one thing, the live-action adaptation is not a waste.

There are also” The ceiling for adaptations like”Rurouni Kenshin”.

If others can’t do it well, it doesn’t mean that Xu Can can’t do it well.

Roger’s head is full of black lines:”Say less, the movie is about to start, and film critics should pay attention to the quality of viewing.””

“I……”

William still wanted to continue to complain, but the lights in the theater dimmed, so he could only hold back his desire to complain and watch with colored glasses.

……

The familiar space shuttle is transformed from 2D to 3D, breaking through the void and reaching the galaxy!

【Produced by Galaxy Pictures】

【Distributed by Columbia Pictures]

During the subtitle display, Xu Can paid tribute to the history of film development before the film even started.

From the black and white color 1.33:1 of the film’s birth period, it gradually expanded to 2.55:1 wide screen, and the picture changed to color.

People who don’t understand completely ignore this little easter egg.

But for professional film critic Roger Ebert, he immediately noticed Xu Can’s love letter to movies.

It has nothing to do with nationality or race, it’s just the love for the movie itself.

At the beginning of the film, a hand-cranked camera slowly descended from the bright California sky, and a row of overcrowded cars blocked the highway. Each car was listening to different types of music in a chaotic manner.

Until a sunny piano prelude sounded, and the clear voice of the young girl in yellow started the first song and dance scene of the film.

“I think back to that day when I saw him staying on the west side of Santa Fe, when we were 17 years old.……”

The refreshing melody captured the ears of the audience from the beginning.

It is obviously night time, but everyone feels like the sun is shining brightly in the morning!

My whole mood is much better!

Film critic William, who originally wanted to find fault, curled his lips and dismissed it at first.

Until the camera didn’t cut the shot at all, the entire section of the highway singing and dancing was shot to the end!

Only then did his expression become serious!

Different actors, different dance moves, complex but orderly!

Whether it’s the actors’ performance or the camera scheduling, everything is so smooth and smooth!

“Okay, okay, show off your skills at the beginning, right?”

From the first song and dance scene, William has already felt that this musical is different.

He is waiting for the follow-up content, but if the subsequent story is weak and the songs and dances are poor, no matter how gorgeous the beginning is, it will be nothing!

“Because the sun rises and it’s another sunny day!!”

When all the dancers stood on the roof of the highway, the panoramic screen lens covered the entire highway, showing a spectacular scene!

The song’s rests fell heavily and came to an abrupt end!

【LALALAND】

The title of the film appeared, echoing in the theater with the charm of a song.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief at this moment!

Xu Can’s Spider-Man action scenes are just fun to shoot, but how can a musical be so exciting?

……

When the male protagonist Seb and the female protagonist Mia meet for the first time, it is the traditional happy enemy model.

Roger Ebert immediately thought of Audrey Hepburn’s”Roman Holiday,” one of the icons of Hollywood’s golden age.

Combined with the protagonist’s vehicle, the music style and the easter eggs in the film, he could tell. Xu Can was almost using every detail to prove that he really understood Hollywood.

Even bette

r than many film critics!

It was like a powerful punch hitting the noses of those who doubted it!

Just like William next to him, his face turned a little green

“how? Still not convinced?”

“Humph, if I look at it again, I don’t believe it.”William is still stubborn.

The film gradually progresses, and the second song and dance scene follows.

This is a song between the heroine Mia and her best friend. Four beauties wearing long skirts of different colors dance in the night.

The picture is full of color contrast, and The pleasant melody is simply a joy!

The first song”Another Day of Sun” is amazing enough, and the second song”Someone In The Crowd” is even more addictive!

“etc!”

Roger Ebert suddenly remembered something!

Media reports said that the entire film’s music creation was completed by Xu Can independently!

He can also write songs?

Holy Shit! He is indeed the”Devi1″ of Hollywood, what a monster!

Not only The song and dance sequences in the movie are brilliant, and the film’s drama is equally brilliant!

Sister Shitou, who plays the heroine Mia, has a performance that is simply better than that of actresses of the same age, and even ranks ahead among all Hollywood actresses!

She plays a frustrated bit player, really It is flesh and blood.

Maybe she has really experienced those setbacks before she can have a deep understanding.

The female protagonist Mia is in destitution, and the male protagonist Seb is also at a low point in life.

Even the boss of the restaurant can manipulate him at will.

For a meager part-time salary, he will Seb, who is talented in music, had to humble himself and play those boring melodies.

Xu Can’s piano skills were also displayed to the world for the first time.

It stands to reason that generally not many actors can master the piano.

To reach a sufficient level, it must take several years Even decades of practice.

Therefore, when most actors shoot piano scenes, they give a close-up of the face and then shoot the close-up with their hands.

Directors simply do not dare to shoot multi-angle full-body shots. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, here with Xu Can, he boldly showed off his piano skills to the audience.

At first, it was just a simple Christmas Eve, and then he played, and the audience couldn’t close their mouths.

“ah?”

“No, he really plays?”

“Is this level comparable to that of a professional pianist?”

The reaction of the theater audience was the same as that of the crew on the set.

Xu Can had never revealed to the outside world that he could play the piano, and he became an instant hit when he debuted!

《”Seb Mia Theme” started with a low chant, gradually containing full emotions.

At this moment, Seb has entered a state of selflessness, and the restaurant has become his exclusive stage!

And the only audience is Mia at the door!

The song ended without any cheers.

Seb returns from the fantasy stage to reality, only to be greeted by the ruthless face of the restaurant owner

“You’re fired.”

Mia was affected by the music and wanted to talk to her, but Seb had no time to pay attention to her and passed her by.

The second meeting between the two ended in embarrassment.

At this time, the audience did not realize that this scene would be at the end of the film. What an impact it created!

At the same time, Emma next to Xu Can looked at herself on the screen with a happy face.

In the movie, Xu Can ignored her, but in reality, she gently held Xu Can’s hand. Hand.

Xu Can suddenly felt that Emma pinched himself, thinking that she wanted to say something to him.

As soon as he put his ear to her, his face suddenly felt cold.[]

It turned out that Emma took a quick peck on her face.

So Xu Can repeated his old tricks, and Emma also joined in.

He kissed Sister Shitou directly on the mouth. Emma was shocked and wanted to push him away.

Xu Can was a bit unscrupulous, which made Emma feel frightened, but also gave her a different kind of excitement.

Is it too risky to do it in front of the show’s creators, critics, and so many viewers?

However, when she was about to indulge in it, Xu Can suddenly left again, ending abruptly.

Emma Stone was immediately hit hard by him.

“hateful!”

Emma grabbed Xu Can’s hand and took a bite.

“Hiss – are you a vampire?”

“snort!”

Damien, the assistant director of the two little Plays, accidentally glanced at them and immediately felt embarrassed.

Please, why don’t you two go home and play? This is in a theater…

But if you think about it carefully, they have been having an affair for a long time. It’s flying all over the place, and the media is talking about giving birth to three children.

It’s normal to be intimate in public.

……

After the male and female protagonists targeted each other at a party, Mia deliberately pulled the male protagonist away in order to avoid her blind date.

The two came to the nearby Mount Wilson and walked all the way to the vicinity of the Griffith Observatory.

The blue-purple night view of Los Santos looks particularly hazy and psychedelic.

The third song and dance in the film adds a different color.

The most important thing was Xu Can’s tap dance, which made the girls at the scene scream!

“Ahhhhh! So handsome!”

“I want him to be hard%*……”

“Sister, I want to come too.”

After experiencing”The Most Handsome Spider-Man”,”The Most Handsome Killer” and”The Most Handsome Villain”, Xu Can will get a new title,”The Most Handsome Tap Dancer”.

Seb and Mia dancing together under the night in Los Santos The harmonious beauty dazzled Roger Ebert.

He knew very well how difficult it was to dance with this kind of long shot. He probably failed countless times, right?

Even William, who had always wanted to find fault, was immersed in singing and dancing at this time. Forgot about the rest.

The male and female protagonists fell in love secretly after a song, and became friends who talked about everything. They talked about their dreams with each other.

Film critic William finally broke away from the song and dance, and sneered and curled his lips.

“The cliche plot is about breaking up because of dreams and then getting back together again. Boring”

“How do you know what will happen next?”

“Impossible. How can he, an Asian, have any spiritual development?”

“See, you said you’re not a racist?”

“Hmm, we’ll see.”

In the video, Seb and Mia became more and more speculative as they chatted, admiring each other’s dreams.

After they agreed to meet next time, Seb came to the Los Santos Pier, which is familiar to gta5 players, and sang the classic song in a low voice in the purple night sky song

《CityOfStars》

City of Stars!

“City of stars, do you shine for me?”

“In the city of stars, there is too much in the world that cannot be understood……”

Xu Can’s whistle and his magnetic voice captivated the audience as soon as he opened his mouth.

In addition to performances and plots, music is the soul of musicals.

《The music of”La La Land” is indeed impeccable, and William, who is ready to find trouble, is convinced.

I can only look forward to finding fault with the plot.

This song has become the king of musicals in the 21st century.

Even Xu Can’s singing is so professional! hateful!

At this time, the audience was already mesmerized, immersed in Xu Can’s singing and the night sky of Los Santos.

The colors and audio-visual effects are simply art!

While Xu Can and Emma Stone were secretly having fun in the front row as the main creatives, little did they know that in the back row of the auditorium, a blond girl wearing a baseball cap and big sunglasses was also mixed in, watching Xu Can’s work.

The movie fans around them were all concentrating on watching the movie, but they didn’t realize that the person sitting next to them was none other than Taylor Swift!

Swift hired her own assistant to queue up a week in advance and managed to sneak in tickets to the premiere.

I just wanted to come here quietly today to see if Xu Can and Emma would rekindle their old relationship.

When she saw the male and female protagonists dancing together, she was indeed filled with jealousy.

However, when Xu Can sang and danced on the pier, Swift had completely forgotten everything and was immersed in the movie.

Originally, Swift was full of confidence in music, and this was her country.

But at this moment, I heard Xu Can’s singing.

Swift was shocked and even a little unsure, but at the same time she was very proud and wanted to announce it to everyone around her.

“Look, this is my boyfriend!”.
