What does summer taste like? This is a question that Arrail thinks about every year.
Broadly speaking, summer is tasteless, but in the figurative expression, summer is the first bite of chilled watermelon, a refreshing white short sleeve, and an ice cream that takes only three seconds to melt for you for a lifetime. There are undoubtedly many summers in our lives, but certainly none of them will be this summer. Because in addition to these must-have summer pieces, this year there is also the super decompressing and relaxing "Elephant Song".
As the movie "Let's Dance! The theme song of "Elephant", the prelude to "Elephant Song" is very jumpy, it jumps to the front with ease and excitement, inviting you to start a dance as you want. As you immerse yourself in it and shake your head to keep up with the rhythm, Zhou Bichang gently sings in your ear, "Laugh at your troubles and throw away your bags." Yes, yes, listening to such cheerful music, who will bother?
The overall tone of the MV is fresh and clean, and the happy faces of young people and the pictures of wild green air give people a cool feeling. Combined with Zhou Bichang's fresh and energetic voice and catchy melody, it is simply a summer must-have song list.
When Ah Bao first listened to it, he was still curious about why it was called "Elephant Song", and after dancing to the rhythm three times, he found that the MV of this song was the real Elephant Dance.
In the MV, Alan and Jin Chunhua not only made a "fancy effort" in order to dance, but also engaged in a magical dance with a tacit understanding. This picture, the people who really watch it are in a happy mood, and the next second they want to rush in and "jump online".
There is a very "elephant" dance movement in "Elephant Song": turning in a circle, comparing the elephant nose. This action, which we usually use in games, not only vividly and vividly cosies the elephant, but also especially suitable for group dance.
Down to baby-faced children, up to the elderly who play tai chi fitness, the whole people can participate. Everyone dressed in various costumes in the library, playground, classroom, park... And so on, and so on can transmit countless happiness. There is no need to worry about the requirements of the venue, the constraints of the industry, the age limit, and the elephant dance can be seen in the streets and alleys.
In the MV, Alan said, "There is no threshold for dancing, because the rhythm and happiness are free."
Ah Bao incomparably agrees with this sentence, dancing itself is a happy thing, it has nothing to do with rhythm, glory, rank, and even in a sense, it has nothing to do with professionalism, the dance itself is expression, and the core of dance is happiness. Dancing is very rare if you can express yourself simply and directly.
Relaxed, healing, love yourself, this is "Elephant Song" as the movie "Let's Dance!" The theme song of "Elephant" is what it wants to tell the audience, and it is also what this "energy-rich" comedy film insists on.
Flip open "Let's Dance! The credits of "Elephant", the director of this film is based on "Roll It! The ghost director Lin Yuxian, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary, is a ghost director lin yuxian who is deeply loved by the audience and has established a strong personal style with films such as "Shy Iron Fist" and "Charlotte Troubles".
Although the female lead actress Jin Chunhua is on the big screen for the first time, she has been polishing on the drama stage for many years and has rich performance experience. Although the three of them are working together for the first time, they have something very similar about them: delicate warmth.
In the movie, Li Chunxia (Jin Chunhua), the leader of the dance class "Four Little Swans" in the Children's Palace, is in a coma for fifteen years due to a car accident, and when she wakes up, she finds herself transformed into a person whose mind stays in the body of the thirteen-year-old but "runs three". Because she had fantasized about dancing on the big stage since she was a child, Li Chunxia, after waking up, found the modern dance master Pi Bao Shi (Allen) as her dance instructor in order to achieve her wishes, and resumed dance step by step.
At first glance, Let's Dance! "Elephant" is a slightly fantasy story, but director Lin Yuxian, who is good at shooting warm and inspirational stories, shows the stories of small people vividly through the lens.
After waking up, Li Chunxia ran into walls in order to resume dancing, when Pi Baoshi appeared in front of her like a god. The director gave Li Chunxia a beam of light on the camera, which was a beam of light that shone impartially into the door of her dreams.
Here Li Chunxia was full of joy to worship the teacher, but in fact, the famous modern dance master Pi Baoshi Pi Baoshi could not even do a single movement of turning in place, and the "teaching method" he implemented for Li Chunxia also revealed various unreliability.
Dancing machines, twisting songs, jumping leather bands... Have you ever seen this training method? Li Chunxia had never seen it either, but the thirteen-year-old Silly Bai Tian obeyed the words of this "Spiritual Arsenic Poison Teacher" Pi Bao. A gorgeous devil's special training began.
While these parts may seem nonsensical, there's no denying that the "heavyweight" films brought about by their warm combination are really highly anticipated.
Lin Yuxian, who is good at finding moving things in the scenes of life, focuses the camera on the small people in society. They may not shine in life, ordinary like the people who rubbed shoulders with you a second ago, but their stories are just as moving. Be brave and face your ordinary self, this is "Dance! The Elephant conveys an attitude unconsciously.
Every year, there are many movies released in the summer slot, some of them are about heroes saving the world personally, some are about talented squads gathering to fight monsters, and even men and women combined to tell you true love fearlessly. We've seen too many heroic moments in movies, and these adrenaline-pumping images are exciting, but they are too far away from our lives.
Every day for the sake of stature, in order to drink milk tea hesitation, looking at the few numbers in the bank card... These "Li Chunxia same style" daily life is the norm in life. Everyone is willing to fantasize about becoming a superhero one day to save the world, but although the wish is good, there must always be space and room for realization.
For us, the process of Pi Baoshi teaching Li Chunxia is a journey of self-challenge by the little people in their hearts. Although this matter is also difficult to achieve, we can find from a coach who is not very reliable and not very serious, and a clumsy but hard-working fat girl, we can find the highlight moments of their companionship and mutual growth, and also see the joy of those who belong to the little people.
Elephants are the largest group on earth, but they are also incredibly vulnerable, in a sense, human beings. We live clumsily, but we must be wise in the face of "unfair things" in life. Psychological disorders, work dilemmas, life blows... But no matter how bad your life is, you have to face it squarely, accept it, go down a better path, and convert your negative energy into "rich energy." Every elephant is fighting for themselves, and so is everyone.
The life of a small person is too difficult, so difficult that it is already a fortunate thing to have someone to accompany you to grow up, so every time you want to give up, tell yourself to "hold on a little longer", and what you want will eventually come to you. Facing life with positive and optimistic energy is one of the secrets of this summer's most decompressing and cooling off. You are not even afraid of the ups and downs of life, what is the high temperature in the summer?
Many viewers said that this kind of film with healing effect is the film that is closest to life and most touching. So what kind of surprise will this magical combination of ghost director + cheap master and apprentice bring to the audience? The answer to everything is in the July 26, 2019 release of "Let's Dance! Elephants".
As long as there is love and desire, every ordinary person has the right to win once.
