[British and American entertainment] Goddess growth record book

In the third act, the curtain rises slowly, and the music is eerie and eerie.An Odile in a black robe turned into the image of Odette with a coquettish smile and walked quickly on the stage in a haughty manner, heralding the arrival of the black swan.

Courtly music led the audience to the feast of the prince and queen-elect.The maids and servants walked onto the stage with flowers and smiles, stepping briskly.After three ballet group dances and solo dances in the style of European folk dances, princes and nobles brought their daughters, and princesses from neighboring countries walked into the venue under the guidance of attendants in gorgeous and retro dresses.The princesses performed dances to please the prince, but the prince's thoughts were not on them and he refused to make a choice.

A loud trumpet sounded, announcing the arrival of two uninvited guests.They are the devil's envoy in disguise and his daughter Odile.

Representing the darkness, they stepped into the venue, and the originally bright stage instantly fell into darkness.Seeing Odette in the form of Odile, the depressed prince showed a long-lost smile.The prince approached her full of joy, and when he saw the prince's Odile, he had a wicked smile on his face.She knew in her heart that what the prince saw was not her, and she was slightly sad but also excited like never before.

The prince saw her.He is approaching her.The prince wanted to extend an invitation to her, but she was as eager to refuse or welcome, as if she wanted to say goodbye?Teasing, tempting the prince, she is near and far away, close and distant.Seeing the expression on the prince's face one happy and one sad because of her, seeing the prince's eyes never leaving her, seeing the prince's emotions changing because of her.The face of Odile who has stolen the love is ecstasy.

After refusing or not, accepting or not, Odile stretched out her hand and handed it to the prince.The prince was ecstatic, and the big couple of black swans danced.

In this pas de deux, unlike the white swan des pas de deux, the perfect active and tacit cooperation between two people born out of love produces a touching emotion in which no one can do without the other.The pas de deux of the black swan is mainly dominated by the black swan, which represents evil and charm. Mu Laiwei is stepping on aggressive dance steps, constantly seducing and teasing, slowly bewildering and occupying the prince's heart.As if drugged, the prince could not see the slightest flaw, and passively cooperated with Mu Laiwei's dance.This black swan pas de deux allows the audience to see not only the exquisite pas de deux, but also the wonderful rivalry in the dance.

After the pas de deux is over, there are variations of the male and female protagonists.Because the prince met his beloved at the dinner party of the queen-to-be, the dance was even more joyful.With the accompaniment, Pu Nuoning did 24 side leg spins in one breath and won applause from the audience.Mu Laiwei, who was pushed behind the scenes, let out a sigh of relief, and after Pu Nuoning's last move, she took another breath.

Mu Lai's untransformed black swan Odile stepped onto the stage with pride and confidence.Odile, the black swan, saw that the prince was bewildered by her, and her face was secretly pleased that the scheme had succeeded.Before Mu Lai touched the ground, he began to spin.

Anyone familiar with the ballet "Swan Lake" knows what happened next.They all know that it is the classic 32 whip spins, and they also know that this girl is almost perfect in this spinning action, and in the scene of the swan turning into a girl in the second act, the girl shows her exquisite mixed spinning technique.

32 whip turns, in "Swan Lake", they saw too many.Almost all the actresses who starred in the heroine of "Swan Lake" can dance well.However, it is the first time I have seen the combination of the four rotation methods, the double-circle whip leg spin, the single-circle Arabesque spin, the double-circle Basel spin, and the single-turn Atti throw spin.This combination extremely tests the transformation of the actor's leg strength and sense of balance.The girl spun brilliantly, and the audience waited with bated breath, and they began to count the number of laps.

When Mu Lai did not make it to the fifth group with such a rotating combination, the warmest applause and cheers erupted at the scene since the show began, and the applause and cheers almost lifted the roof of the Grand Theater.Because no one has ever appeared on stage in such a rotating combination before.They are here today to see the birth of a new ballet spin group.

In the end, she did a total of eight sets and 48 laps in this rotating combination.After eight sets, her movements did not lose shape at all, and she still maintained the most standard posture. The speed of rotation became faster and faster with the speed of the music. On the ground, the toe that maintains a sense of balance firmly nails her to the stage like a nail, as stable as Mount Tai.In the end, she finished off nicely and steadily with a five pointe.The audience's applause also reached its peak with Mu Laiwei's rotation, and they never stopped applauding since Mu Laiwei took off.

After being impressed by Mu Laiwei's superb mixing and spinning skills, the audience fell into her superb acting skills.The black swan's offensive on the prince's love is not over yet. After the trick is successful, her dance steps are more aggressive and deceptive, and every dance step steps into the prince's heart accurately.She let the prince never recover.At the request of the devil, the prince and Odile made a vow of love in front of the queen.

After the prince and Odile made their vows of love, the figure of Odette, projected by lighting and shadow technology, appeared on the stage, and Odette screamed and left in despair.Suddenly lightning flashed and thunder struck, and the ballroom was in chaos. The prince came to his senses in despair. The prince looked back at Odile who had deceived him, showing hatred.The anger in the prince's eyes caused Odile to fall from heaven to hell, and Odile, who had just smiled triumphantly, took a few steps back in despair.

The deceived prince rushes out desperately to find the real Odette.Odile looked at the side where the prince was leaving, the original proud and confident black swan suddenly lost its brilliance, and the black became bleak.The stolen love does not belong to her after all, she is a little desperate, the devil sees her daughter so sad, and steps forward to comfort her.It turns out that this black swan that makes people grit their teeth is just a love fool.

At this point, the third act is over, and the curtain falls slowly.

Mu Laiwei ran off the stage again and hurried into the dressing room, gulping down water. It is winter in London in November, but the difficult dance movements in the third act just now made her sweat profusely.After changing their clothes, Mu Laiwei and Pu Nuoning walked to the stage together after a short rest.

The fourth act begins, the curtain is slowly opened, and the prince who ran to Swan Lake failed to find Odette, and he fell to the ground regretfully in despair.At this time, the group of swan girls came again, and they danced on the stage under the sad and low music.The prince got up anxiously, trying to find the figure of his lover, but there was none.To see if there is any here, he went to another place.

After a group of swan dances, Odette ran onto the stage with a sad face.She couldn't believe that the lover she was thinking of, the lover who made a vow of love to her that night, made a vow of love with other women, and her lover broke the promise between them.Seeing that Odette was so sad, the swans came to comfort her.They surrounded her, trying to keep her warm.

And at this time the prince appeared, he finally found his real Odette.He explained to Odette that Odette, who loved the prince deeply, finally chose to believe in the prince.In the last white swan pas de deux in the last scene, the two went from misunderstanding to reconciliation, but although the prince and Odette were holding hands, the consecutive back-to-back and opposite direction dance movements indicated that they were getting closer and closer. Far love ending.

Just when the two were inseparable, white mist rose from around the stage, creating the final tragic atmosphere.Between the lights, the devil appeared again, the music turned sharply, and the dangerous atmosphere was heightened. The prince guarded Odette, and a three-person melodramatic dance of two men and one woman perfectly interpreted the war between them .

But in the end, during the entanglement, with the help of the swans, the prince killed the demon with a single sword.Knowing that the curse could not be lifted, the two committed suicide by throwing themselves into the lake in order to protect their love.

In the white misty smoke, the music stopped abruptly here, the curtain fell, and the play ended.

When the show was over, the audience stood up. They were reluctant to leave for a long time, and they still had more to say.The applause and cheers became more and more enthusiastic one after another.The enthusiastic applause of the audience made the two leading actors Mu Laiwei and Pu Nuoning return to the scene for as many as 1961 curtain calls.You must know that "Swan Lake" with the most curtain calls in history was created 89 times in [-] by the British ballet queen Margot Fonteyn.

Mu Laiwei and Pu Nuoning stood on the stage holding hands, looking at the excited audience, they always felt that in the past two months, no matter how hard and tired they were, everything was worth it for this moment.Mulai didn't see Tom in the auditorium.She looked at him from a distance, she saw the pride in his eyes, and he gave her a thumbs up.Her smile became more apparent.

This "Swan Lake", which was widely publicized by the media as the performance of the century before the premiere, they had expectations. They thought that a dance drama with such a large investment must be worth watching, but after all, such a big hat as "the performance of the century" is big.

Everyone is familiar with it, and everyone has seen "Swan Lake" since its birth. There have been more than 200 versions. Even people who don't like ballet may be led to the theater by their parents when they were young. The first ballet they watched may be It's "Swan Lake".

"Swan Lake" has too many gems in front of it, and their performers are all famous ballet dancers who have been in the ballet world for many years. However, the performers this time, no matter how many years they are rare genius dancers, but After all, they are two 20-year-old rookie actors who are only [-] years old as the leading roles in a large-scale ballet for the first time.

But after the two-and-a-half-hour performance, before entering the grand theater before the performance, all their doubts were completely forgotten after Mu Lai jumped out of the shy girl variation, until after the performance, That "show of the century" title is the only word they can describe.This really could be called the best ballet of the first decade of the 21st century.In the hearts of some audiences, they felt that this was the best version of "Swan Lake" they had ever seen in theaters in their lives.What's rare is that two 20-year-old young people who just left school starred in such a perfect "Swan Lake".Their youth at this moment has become one of the reasons why this version will make people talk about it.

This version of "Swan Lake" has been changed on the basis of the original plot.In the original play, the plot is broken.And the newly added plot will connect the main line more smoothly.And this newly added plot follows Mu Laiwei's black swan monologue during the competition.

The first time the prince and the white swan met was by the Swan Lake. The first time they met, Odette believed in the prince wholeheartedly, and handed over the only solution to the curse to the prince.We can say that this is the power of love.But in common sense, is love at first sight really that powerful?This is somewhat abrupt.But in the newly added plot, Odette, who was still a girl, had an encounter with the prince once, and their love sprouted from here.Then when we meet again, it is a matter of course that Odette can develop a full attachment to his lover.

As for why Odile turned into the appearance of Odette to confuse the prince and make mistakes, in the original plot, it was simply mentioned that this was at the request of his father, the devil.So, is the tragedy of Prince and Odette just an experiment in love by the devil, or a boring game?And here, it turns out that Odile is also in love with the prince unrequitedly, so out of the devil who loves his daughter and for his daughter's wish, he led the tragedy.

The newly added plot made the audience see something new, and they couldn't help but began to look forward to the following performance.In terms of dance, the movements have been greatly adjusted. While retaining the classic movements, many different combinations have been innovated, and the degree of difficulty is the highest among so many performance versions in recent years.One of the reasons why people admire ballet so much is to pursue technical visual enjoyment.The ballerina's brilliant dance skills challenged the impossible limit in their movements, and they did what they couldn't do.
