Mermaid Actor [Rebirth]

On August 13th local time in Venice, the Venice International Film Festival was solemnly opened, and Lido Island once again ushered in a grand event for global filmmakers.There are [-] films in the main competition unit, [-] films in the non-competition unit, [-] films in the horizon unit, and other short films and documentaries.Ten films premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, and the opening film of this year's Venice International Film Festival is the film "Grayscale" directed by the famous Italian director Beniamino Benito. "Grayscale" was well-publicized long before the filming started because of the director's name, coupled with the joining of Oscar and Cannes actress Hilary Ackerman, it attracted enough attention.At the opening ceremony of the film festival, the personable Beniamino Bell and the voluptuous Hilary Ackerman in red also became the shining lights that cannot be ignored on the red carpet.

Although the Venice International Film Festival, known as the "father of international film festivals", has been overshadowed by Cannes in recent years, the gold content of the awards is unquestionable. Since its inception 90 years ago, the Golden Lion has always been the most wanted award for filmmakers It is also one of the awards that best represent the artistic achievements of film.

The Horizon unit of "Arnold's Dancing Shoes" is an award specially designed to encourage young directors to create. The principle is to give priority to the works of young directors. Famous directors and masters will not come to grab the show, but the competition is still quite large. Not only local Italian filmmakers, there are also many talented film creators in France, the United Kingdom, North America and Asia. If you want to break out from here, you have to peel off a layer of skin.

"Arnold's Dancing Shoes" premiered on the fourth day of the film festival. Lin Chuxi came to Lido Island in the water city to meet Willie Clayton one week before the opening of the film festival.Willie Clayton told Lin Chuxi that Bobby Dillon would also come on the red carpet on the fourth day, and it would be the three of them together.Lin Chuxi asked about the heroine, and Willie Clayton waved his hand to say that it doesn't matter if the heroine is absent, as long as there is an absolute protagonist.

In fact, Lin Chuxi has not seen the final film of "Arnold's Dancing Shoes". After Willie Clayton finished the film, he flew to Venice with him. I know exactly what it feels like to shoot.

Lin Chuxi wandered around this Venice with excitement and apprehension, and she especially liked sitting on the boat at dusk and dusk, watching the increasingly hazy sky and the lights gradually lighting up.Lin Chuxi carried a camera and took pictures of everything she saw. She took pictures of the water waves when the boatman paddled, the vests and underpants that were dried out by pulling a rope from the window on the street, the pomegranate trees that climbed over the walls of the houses, and those standing on the bow of the boat. A gypsy girl dancing with a silver bell in a long dress.At this time, he was not so famous that he had to cover his face completely when he went out. As long as he covered his hair and half of his face, he could blend well on the streets of the city.Lin Chuxi wanted to send the photos she took to Zhao Jinghe, telling him that Venice is really a good place and Lido Island is a suitable place to live.Picking from a bunch of photos, I found a few that didn't look too frustrating and uploaded them to the computer, and then suddenly remembered that I didn't have Zhao Jinghe's mailbox.Then I was a little discouraged and threw the draft email that hadn't been sent out yet, and even the photos hadn't been uploaded yet, into the trash can.

Bobby Dillon rushed over on the third day of the film festival. That night, Lin Chuxi wore the red carpet suit she had prepared in Paris, stood in front of the mirror in the hotel room for a long time, and then slowly took off the suit shirt, He took a shower, texted Zhao Jinghe that he remembered to watch a movie tomorrow, and then went to bed.

Waking up early the next day, Lin Chuxi was still surprised that she could fall asleep so normally last night.This is the Venice International Film Festival, how many directors and actors will never be able to walk on that red carpet in their entire lives!

Splashing water on her face, Lin Chuxi let out a long breath, trying to calm herself down.Now it's just walking on the red carpet as an unknown main creative staff, I'm afraid it will happen like this, and I will get it in the future.

At nine o'clock, Willie Clayton knocked on his door, and Lin Chuxi, who had washed and prepared herself, finally looked in the mirror and went out.

I thought the premiere of "Arnold's Dancing Shoes" was just a formality, but I didn't expect the media reporters on the red carpet to chase them like mad dogs and take photos.Lin Chuxi even heard many girls standing outside the red railing holding autograph books and shouting his name loudly.

"Gavin! Gavin!"

Since when did he have fans? "Arnold's Dancing Shoes" hasn't been released yet.Lin Chuxi turned around and smiled at the source of the screams, which attracted a higher wave of shouts, and Lin Chuxi was sure that the group of little girls really called the wrong person.

"I haven't signed the autograph yet. The fans have been holding the autograph book for a long time." Willie Clayton bumped Lin Chuxi's arrow, and said in a low voice.

"What's going on?" Lin Chuxi was driven over to sign the suspected fans with a smile on her face. After signing, she came back and grabbed Willie Clayton and asked, "It can't be the sailor you hired, right?"

"How is it possible? You know, we can't even pay for the publicity. I don't think I can do such an extravagant thing as a navy army."

Lin Chuxi thinks about it too, the poor film crew completely relies on the Venice Film Festival to find a big-time distributor to make money.

In fact, Lin Chuxi completely underestimated his own influence. The Venice Film Festival is equivalent to the Paris Fashion Week in the fashion circle in the film industry, and it is like a jewel in the crown.Lin Chuxi just made such a big gimmick in Paris Fashion Week, dozens of magazines and newspapers gave him pages one after another, so that his face was recognized by almost everyone in the fashion circle.Then he disappeared.

That's right, this kid walked through a Hermes show, and disappeared completely when he came to the dinner party.With a bright future in mind, he ignored countless interview invitations and disappeared without a trace.The reporters were so annoyed, they immediately realized the bitter experience of the seniors who went all over the world to find the Peacock Prince for interviews.As a result, not half a month has passed, and the shooting incident at the Paris Fashion Week dinner has not yet passed. This super newcomer who waved his sleeves from the top fashion show without taking away a cloud magically appeared in the horizon section of the Venice International Film Festival On the list of leading actors in the shortlisted films.

To put it bluntly, the European fashion and entertainment circles are the same group of people, and the overlap is still very high. If any good quality fresh meat appears in the industry, it will not take long for it to spread throughout Europe.Lin Chuxi transformed from a model into a powerful actor in a second, and everyone couldn't help but want to ask.Who the hell is this guy!

At a young age, he went to Hermes' Paris Haute Couture as soon as he came out, turned around and played the leading role in a situation where he had never produced a movie or TV series, and then miraculously used his identity as the main creator to make a stunning appearance on the red carpet of the Venice International Film Festival.

He is like a group of fans, with amazing looks, as if he was born to be favored, and he can easily get the attention of the people of the world without suffering or doing much.He walked on the red carpet with dark green curly hair fascinating.The smiling and curved eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of sea water, reflecting the brilliance of stars.He casually wore a black suit, and he could attract countless filmmakers just by walking in his trouser pockets.

Girls love his appearance carved out of mythology, and girls love his genius-like life.It's as if they, like the group of female art college students in "Arnold's Dancing Shoes", can't help admiring the superior genius Arnold.

At eleven o'clock, the official premiere of "Arnold's Dancing Shoes"——

At the beginning of the film, Tchaikovsky's piano suite "Four Seasons" Autumn Song quietly played, and a little light came out from the dark lens. The sound of knocking on the floor.When the whole sun shines in from the window, what appears in the camera is an empty dance classroom, with three huge glass mirrors, an old wooden floor, and a dancer practicing dance alone.The camera stops on the dancer's chin and neck, no matter whether the dancer is jumping up or down, it seems to be attracted by that piece of skin.The dancers fluttered and fluttered to the tune of the song of autumn, and a few beams of broken gold sunlight leaked in, like gauze lifted by him.At this time, the camera is like a lover's hand, slowly descending from his neck, stroking his body, from broad shoulders to narrow waist to straight legs, with an ambiguous and erotic feeling of envy.

"Arnold! Arnold! Teacher Sharapova is calling you!"

A shout came from outside the window, and the music of "Four Seasons" Autumn Song stopped abruptly, and the dancer's figure also stopped.The camera finally landed on the dancer's ankles, with distinct bones and delicate ankles, and a pair of black ballet shoes.The camera follows the feet of the dancers, from the teak-colored dance studio floor to the white-gray locker room floor tiles.The sound of opening the cabinet door was shrill in the silence.The dancer began to take off his shoes, and the fingers with slender phalanges untied the straps wrapped around the calves, and took off the dancing shoes.

"Arnold! What are you doing, hurry up!"

The speed at which the dancer changed clothes was obviously faster. He put on his regular clothes and hurriedly put the dancing shoes into the closet, not even having time to find the long strap of the dancing shoes was still exposed outside the closet.The camera stopped in front of the closet, the autumn song of "Four Seasons" played again, and the words Arnold. s Dancing Shoe appeared on the screen.

The story finally begins during a dance that Arnold didn't finish.

The ballet major in the Suzaril Academy of Arts is a famous family, and Arnold is the chief of this family.He was born in a family, extremely talented, withdrawn and indifferent, and difficult to get along with.It seems to have gathered the bad faults and good points of all geniuses.The only friend is Karen, who can compete with him in ballet. They are childhood sweethearts and best friends.Going home together, secretly drinking, dating girls, they did everything their buddies would do.In the eyes of outsiders, these two damn female killers should go to hell, and they will always occupy the scarce resources that ordinary people can only dream about, but they show disdain.On the other hand, Arnold is cold and handsome, and Karen is cheerful and handsome. They are not people who can play together no matter how you look at it.Perhaps the audience can find some clues from the shots of Arnold staring at Karen.

Arnold is indeed extremely cold, but no matter how cold he is, he is still a human being with sex and desire.He is as beautiful as fireworks, gorgeous in the dark, even if it is only for a moment, it will not hinder his beauty.It's like that scene in the locker.Arnold hid in Karen's locker, and the whole theater resounded with his self-blasphemy panting, crackling like a lit fuse, flickering on and off, reflecting his magnificent face, coral green half-absent eyes and damp heat. In a burst of sweat, his soul and flesh, bone and blood burst into dazzling splendor.At that moment, he could drive men and women all over the world crazy, but Arnold's life was not satisfactory. He was brilliant at school, but when he returned to that spacious but cold home, he only faced his father's never-kind face.Arnold called Karen, but Karen was having a party with other friends. The noisy voice was in stark contrast to the silence on Arnold's side.Arnold rejected Karen's invitation. After realizing that Karen was not his only friend, but he only had Karen, he gritted his teeth in anger and loneliness.Arnold's eyes, without light and color.

The arrival of St. Bernard opened the curtain of battle among the ballet students.Although everyone knows that the winner must be one of Arnold and Karen, it's okay for everyone to bet for fun.

Arnold was warned by his father to join the St. Bernham Ballet Company no matter what, but at this time he found that he couldn't dance a move that Karen could jump. Arnold, who was restless and pretended to be calm, ran into Mrs. He made a recommendation, and then met Karen who had a tryst in the middle of the night. A series of blows caused Arnold to collapse.

Arnold sits in the middle of the stage in the school theater.In the shot, except for the center of the stage covered by strong light, his surroundings are surrounded by darkness.Karen came to him and brought another, brighter light.Arnold seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be talking to Karen, saying, my dancing shoes don't fit, Karen.Karen was puzzled, how could it be, you still wore this pair of dancing shoes to dance the pirates a few days ago, and the performance was perfect, which means your shoes are fine.Arnold shook his head, I feel uncomfortable in clothes, I can't dance well.Karen said, what are you talking about, Arnold.If the dancing shoes don't fit well, it's fine to change to a new pair. There's nothing wrong with dancing.Arnold suddenly turned his head and stared at Karen, and said, if there is no ballet, are we still friends?Karen laughed, of course.Arnold listened, his expression seemed to be crying or laughing, and the darkness surrounded him even more urgently.

The day after that, Arnold was involved in an unexpected car accident.The red of blood, the white of the hospital, Arnold's dismal green hair, and Arnold's father's growling and endless whispers.

The doctor advised Arnold not to engage in any work that would cause high-intensity pressure on the legs in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to recover if the bone fractures again.In other words, even if Arnold insists on returning to the stage, he will never be able to reach his previous heights, let alone achieve more brilliant achievements.

The fall of genius is a foregone conclusion.

In the camera, Arnold is so thin that he is out of shape. He no longer looks like a cold and beautiful woman in the past, his eyes are as gray as dead wood, and he is struggling to live.He cried, but it was useless, he scolded, but it was useless, he also had soft thoughts, but in the end he was still reluctant.The faces of Karen and his father flashed in front of his eyes, even though he was hopeless, he was reluctant to die like this.

His father took him to see a psychiatrist, but nothing happened.

Arnold's face is still beautiful, but he no longer has the brilliance of vigor and vitality. He has no love and will not have any beliefs. The only ballet he can rely on is also lost. What else does he have?He has nothing left.

The plot took a sharp turn at this moment, and the twin-like demons descended on Arnold's dream.The same dark green hair, the same magnificent face, but the smile is cunning, but the eyes are alluring.

The devil's nails were painted black, with thick dark eyeliner painted on it, and he was dressed in white. He was a fallen angel, lying beside Arnold's bed, with light-colored lips parted and speaking the most alluring words.

Offer up your soul and make your wishes come true.

Faust is still unable to resist the temptation of Mephisto, Arnold is just a child who lacks love no matter how genius he is, and the illusory soul price after death is not a threat at all.

So miraculous, so bloody, the film completed the transition from being hypocritical, gloomy, and describing the tangled life of a problem genius to a surrealist magical theme in an instant.Assuming that we think that the judges of the jury are not a group of mindless people who only watch long shots, then we can still expect that the following plot will not be the one we thought of where the protagonist overcomes obstacles and regains glory after gaining the power of the devil.But what is impeccable is the actor Lin Chuxi who played the role of Arnold. He not only portrayed the proud and sensitive Arnold with a fragile and empty heart, but also played two roles as the demon who seduces the protagonist.The devil is treacherous and cunning, and a little childish.The picture of the two co-existing in the same shot not only won't make people confuse them, but on the contrary highlights his acting skills.

The reborn Arnold seemed to be inspired by this desperate disaster, unloading the heavy burden, throwing away the shackles that tied his hands and feet, releasing the lightness and explosive power from the depths of his soul.

The last "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the beginning of Arnold's rebirth from nirvana.

And this adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is also quite interesting. In the original play of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Lysander and Demetrius fell in love with the young girl Hermia at the same time, and Hermia liked La Sander, and Hermia's friend Helena fell in love with Demetrius. In the end, Lysander and Hermia escaped from marriage. Drop it on someone's eyelids, and the person will fall in love with the person he sees when he opens his eyes.Lysander and Demetrius therefore turned to Helena at the same time.The relationship between the four became complicated again.But in the ballet "A Midsummer Night's Dream" adapted by the academy this time, Demetrius fell in love with Helena according to the original work, and after Lysander's eyelids were dripped with magic juice, the first thing he saw when he woke up was The man is Demetrius, the former rival in love and now the lover.Lysander was in great pain because of falling in love with Demetrius, fearful, struggling, and suffering.The wedding of Helena and Demetrius nearly collapsed him, but thanks to Hermia's persevering comfort and help, the two finally stayed together for life.

An absurd comedy with an absurd pathos.

Arnold's Lysander, staring at Karen's eyes, is so infatuated and so forbearing and painful.He opened his arms in the bright place, pretending to warmly congratulate his friend's wedding.He clenched his hands in the dark, embracing only the guilt of his lonely self.

The ballet has been highly praised by the St. Bernham Ballet Company, especially the skill shown by Arnold as the male lead dancer is even more eye-catching.Arnold's selection to St. Bernham's Ballet seemed a certainty.

But this is exactly what Arnold's father and school teachers are worried about. The better Arnold performs, the more difficult the choice will be.

St. Bernham Ballet eventually chose Karen.When the results came out, everyone looked at Arnold with trepidation, with a cautious look at flammable objects.

Why!Why……

"Why not me! Karen can't compare with me at all!" Arnold stood up and yelled loudly, his eyes were red, with a heart-piercing unwillingness: "No matter how you look at me, I will Better than Karen, I am loyal to ballet, but Karen is not; I love ballet and am in awe of ballet, Karen is not; I can give everything I have for ballet, but Karen is not!" Arnold pointed at Karen, tearing up the pride The face is poignant and chilling.He shivered in the early sun, holding back his tears, and couldn't help crying at the end.

"My child, you are indeed as dazzling as a diamond, but the troupe does not need a dancer with an unstable mental state. It is a very regrettable thing to abandon you, but I still hope that you can understand the decision made by the troupe .”

"What... what..."

The water light shattered in Arnold's eyes...

The camera shakes as Arnold covers his head and falls to the ground, and countless memories flow back.

Why the original orthopedic doctor changed; why his father took him to see a psychiatrist; why the demon in his dream looked exactly like him; Shows wonder; why everyone treats him with special care...

He did have a car accident, but nothing serious happened.Serious injuries, broken bones, and inability to dance, everything was just figment of his imagination.Hypochondria delusional disorder, this is a diagnosis made by a psychiatrist. It is a distorted psychological problem after suffering a major life blow. From a certain aspect, it is also a way for the body to produce self-protection.Because of the escapism that arose in Arnold's mind, he conceived of his own disability in order to escape the failure of life and what seemed to him more and more like a torturous ballet.

The devil is his salvation, yes, this is the role of the healing method, through external hypnosis to help the delusional patients to achieve inner balance.That's why the demon is dressed in white, with Arnold's own face on his face.The person who can destroy and save himself is always himself.

Just like the absurdity in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the effect of "magic juice" faded, and all dreamers woke up one after another, dying of pain under the cruel truth.

In the end, it was Arnold who was most afraid of ballet.

The camera slowly went dark, and the piano music of "Four Seasons" played again, and a headlight came from a distance to illuminate the camera and the entire theater stage.Arnold is alone on stage doing the dance that opens the movie.Arnold's dance, his favorite Tchaikovsky's October Autumn Song.He danced and cried, accompanied by this peaceful tune.

Suddenly, the lights went out and the music stopped suddenly.

The theater is out of power.

Arnold stood on the stage, and there was a trembling cry coming from the darkness. It was a broken string, and it was the wail of a thorn bird before it died.

This dance that can never be completed, accompanied by the four seasons...
