Text/Number One Cinema Understand Miss (topcinema original, strictly prohibited to reprint)
In the recent hit movie "Evil Does Not Pressure Justice", Xu Qing is definitely one who can't be bypassed.
In the movie, she presents a Charming, Charming, and even showy side of Beiping's sociable flowers.
Whether it is to let Li Natural inject or to stamp Li Natural's body with a full seal, her sexiness and charm that cannot be concealed by her body are almost going to spray out of the big screen.
The ten thousand styles that make many men move and make women ashamed of themselves are not only Xu Qing's exclusive.
This reminds people of a topic musical drama "Queen of Boots" that has recently been hotly grabbed in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and the male protagonist in it is simply eye-opening, more provocative than Xu Qing.
He subverted gender, put on red boots, sang and danced on stage, twisted his hips, kicked his thighs...
The scale is wide open and people are stunned.
Even pop female singer "Moldy" Taylor Swift has also been a fan of the cross-dressed male protagonist and a fan of the second.
As a famous Broadway musical in the United States, it is really very raw, and the point is that this new and bold drama has come to China to perform.
At present, the drama has a douban rating of 8.6.
In fact, the musical is based on the movie "Boots", a film released in 2005 with a Douban score of 7.7.
It is based on a true story, telling the story of a long-established shoe store heir and a bar "drag queen" who meets, becomes a close friend after experiencing mutual exclusion, conquers the broader stage of life with boots, and eliminates prejudice.
Charlie's father left him a huge shoe factory that he had to take over.
It was only then that Charlie learned that the shoe factory, which was ostensibly functioning normally, was already in debt. At the same time, Charlie also had to dismiss 15 veteran employees who had been working hard for the shoe factory. The shoe factory was struggling, which made him bitter.
By chance, Charlie meets the "Drag Queen" of a bar named Laura, and although Charlie can't accept Laura's cross-dressing fetish, he finds a business opportunity among a group of cross-dress enthusiasts like Laura.
It turned out that Laura always encountered stiletto heels that suited her when performing, and shoes designed for women could not withstand the weight of a man, and it was broken after wearing them a few times.
So Charlie was ready to design high heels for Laura's group that they could wear.
Things certainly won't be that easy.
How can a young master of a shoe factory who was previously content with pleasure and not here turn the tide, gain trust, and revitalize the shoe factory left by his father?
How can a black cross-dresser who is discriminated against and not understood be able to break the loneliness and the blank eyes of others under the stage and face his true self?
They want to change, they want to change themselves, they want to change other people's opinions, but how easy is that?
Laura can put on women's clothes and sing in front of 500 people, but put on jeans and can't say hello. Cha Ideal desperately went to Milan to attend the shoe show, but the staff did not support him, thinking that he was not as good as his father.
In fact, it is a story of growth and courage, but at the same time it involves the living conditions and inner world of some special groups of people.
All people crave to be understood, to change and grow, to be respected.
What is true understanding and respect? There is the most ingenious answer in the movie.
One day, the old lady who cleaned the room asked Laura, who always wore women's clothes: Are you a boy?
After answering truthfully, Laura waited for the surprise reaction of the other party, but the old lady said calmly: Oh, I know how the toilet seat is put.
At that moment, Laura felt a rare warmth in her heart.
It is worth mentioning that the two male protagonists in the movie "Boots" are now shining stars in the film and television circle.
Joel Edgerton, who played Charlie, played "The Great Gatsby" with Leonardo, and then played "Cardinal" with his eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence.
Chevat Egart, who played the "drag queen" Laura, played the male lead in the movie "Twelve Years of Slavery" many years later, and played with Fa Shark, Roll Fu, Brad Pitt and others, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor.
In the movie "Boots", the most blood-boiling scene is that Laura puts on the red boots designed and made by Charlie's factory, takes the runway, and dominates the audience.
This scene made the audience's blood boil. Someone left a message saying: The last overpass show is really handsome.
In the movie, when Charlie also puts on red boots and walks up to the runway with an unstable center of gravity, this scene is quite funny. The strong contrast makes people feel a sense of ease and humor after breaking through themselves.
There are also high scores from the audience, giving special praise to the song and dance in this movie, saying: The stars are all for the song and dance inside! Others praised Chervat Edgarfort, the black actor who played Laura: "The cross-dressing is really beautiful, but it's too big.
In the movie, there are not too many song and dance parts that are enough to make the audience feel intoxicated and shocked, and the Broadway musical adapted from this movie is really hot enough to be seen screaming in the audience.
Just recently, a Broadway musical based on this film was first performed in Shanghai (July 11 to August 5), Guangzhou (August 9 to August 19), and Beijing (August 24 to September 16), and the dazzling red boots attracted the strong attention of many musical theater fans.
It has also attracted stars to spontaneously pursue, not the aforementioned "mold" Taylor Swift, Gao Xiaosong also spontaneously recommended in his own Internet radio column, willing to be "Boot Queen" "tap water".
Don't be surprised by this, this musical created by the top team and popular all over the world, "Queen of Boots", has already caused a sensation on Broadway.
How powerful is this show?
Six Tony Awards, one Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, and three Lawrence Oliver Awards are among the few Grand Slam musicals to win.
The creator is a masterpiece of pop music, Cindy Laupa, who is one of the 20 artists who have won three major awards: Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award. The director and choreographer is two-time Tony Award-winning Jerry Mitch, while the writer is four-time Tony Award-winning Harvey Festen.
Because of "Queen of Boots", Cindy Laupa and Harvey Feistern also left their names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
How crazy are the audience?
It has been following for five years from its premiere on Broadway in the United States in 2013, to its 2,000th broadway performance in the United States in January, the 1,000th performance in the West End of London, England, and touring in many countries including Germany, Australia and Sweden, and has also been adapted into Korean and Japanese versions.
Turning a drama on the screen into a musical, adding more elements of stage performance, a dance is enough to dazzle people. Coupled with the world-class performance standards of Broadway professional stage musical actors, it is not only reflected in the rich physical performance, but also in the opening and kneeling singing voice.
This makes the story both hot and unconventional, and it is no wonder that the Chinese audience who have taken the lead in watching it has played five stars and four stars.
More than mentioned earlier, a Chinese audience member left a message "spoiler" after reading it:
The male actors really fought and were stunned when they turned their heels in high-heeled boots!
It is not easy for girls who are used to wearing high heels to wear high heels and run and jump, let alone the big guys who have not worn high heels.
According to The Actor Banks, who played Laura in "Queen of Boots" this time, it was very uncomfortable to wear high heels at the beginning, and he could not stand steadily. So, starting with rehearsals, they wear high heels for more than 10 hours a day to adapt to it, "We wear high heels to eat, to buy things, to go to the bathroom." ”
From standing firm to walking steadily, to being able to dance in high heels, it took them about two months.
Injuries in rehearsals are even more inevitable, because the plot requires them to run and jump in high heels and dance on the conveyor belt!
The high heels now look like they are on their feet, and the boots have been combined.
After watching Xu Qing of "Evil Does Not Pressure righteousness", many female audiences were ashamed of themselves, and they did not expect that this "Queen of Boots" made many female audiences "self-reflective" again.
Some female audience members were shocked by the long-legged male actors wearing long boots in the play and said "white life is white life":
"I have been a woman for more than 30 years, and I have not worn boots, and I really live in vain."
Sexy, it turns out that it is the same as losing weight, is a lesson for women to catch up with in their lives.
Watched "Queen of Boots" and quickly learned.
