Movie Network News (Photo/Cannes Film Festival News Team) On the evening of May 17, French local time, the Cannes Film Festival Chinese Film Night reception was grandly held on the Cannes seaside. This reception with strong Chinese characteristics organized by China Film Channel, Cannes Film Market and Champs-Elysees became the most dazzling film-themed party on the Cannes seaside that night.
Wonderful shoulder ballet performance
Selected performance of Kunqu Opera "Peony Pavilion"
Eye-opening silk hanging show
The Chinese characteristic program attracts attention, and "Ballet on the Shoulder" attracts the most attention from guests
The red lanterns decorated on the spot and the Chinese-style "big house door" made every guest who came to the Chinese movie night event feel the strong Chinese characteristics from the beginning, and felt the romance and elegance of Chinese culture in the music of "Jasmine" and "Liang Zhu". Three performances with Chinese characteristics also amazed the guests on the spot.
The first performance of "Ballet on the Shoulder" combined the essence of Western ballet and Chinese acrobatics. The actress performed difficult dance movements on the head and shoulders of the male actor, perfectly combining strength and beauty, bringing a beautiful visual enjoyment to the scene. Many Western audiences saw such a performance for the first time. In their eyes, it was almost an impossible performance, not cheering and applause. And it became the most popular performance of the night.
The following excerpt from the Kunqu Opera "Peony Pavilion" takes the audience into a more ancient Chinese culture. Although they do not understand the lyrics of the actors and have little knowledge of the content of the performance, they are moved by the elegant performances and infectious singing of the actors. Many people say that this natural singing is very moving to them.
The final performance of the silk hanging was once again shocking. The actors performed various difficult skills on the satin hanging in the sky, and the audience here felt the heartbeat stimulation. Many unimaginable actions from time to time shocked the audience.
