The award-winning Hollywood song-and-dance film City of Love is really coming to theaters on Valentine's Day in China! The last time I watched a song and dance movie was 2006's Dreamgirls, right? It's probably because of this desire for a dance movie that City of Love has exploded all over the world.
Let's take a look at some posters, the comic book version is my favorite
In the Oscars nominations, City of Love miraculously tied 1997's Titanic and 1950's Beauty of the Comet with a whopping 14 awards.
Titanic and 1950's Beauty of the Comet were nominated for a whopping 14 awards - probably due to a fascinating song-and-dance complex, which has awakened the nerves of the world's singers and dancers, and even more so, the judges of the major awards.
You may not have noticed that Commander Gao and Stone Girl are two fresh-faced young women who can sing and dance so well (you know, this pair of CPs wasn't director Damien Chazelle's first choice). The director took a closer look at the two popular new couples and found that they're both great singers and dancers!
Shall We Dance~ How many classic song and dance scenes have surfaced in the Philharmonic City?
City of Love is director Damien Chazelle's second feature film, but it's clear that he's always been a fan of music, and his 2014 debut Breaking Drums (which was an Oscar favorite) was also a big hit. The Exploding Drummer (which was also an Oscar favorite that year) is also a great example of how to use music to your advantage.
Adorable little director
Director's debut film Breaking Drum
Jason has seen a lot of films, and he's made a lot of effort to make his second film, which he regards as a treasure, an homage to a lot of classic cabaret films from the 1930s to the 2000s. The film is a reintroduction to the glamor of Hollywood song-and-dance films from decades ago.
This playful tap dance on a park seat pays homage to the 1937 song-and-dance movie Follow My Heart, except the roller skates are replaced with tap shoes.
Later, the two start to twirl around in circles, paying homage to 1953's The Dragon's Caravan, but the step dance steps are a little harder to do without them.
The adorable pole-holding gesture by Commander Gao is clearly an homage to the classic 1952 song-and-dance film Song in the Rain starring King Kelly
This street dance scene between the Stone Sisters and the girls is really an homage to the dance of the Four Sisters in the 1961 film West Side Story
The two of them started to spin around in a circle, paying tribute to The Dragon's Carriage of 1953, but with a little bit of difficulty in getting to the steps.
The dreamy song and dance scene between Commander Gao and the Stone Sisters at the Planetarium is an homage to the 2001 hit Moulin Rouge, which is a favorite of the Court
The "montage of a life" with the red man and the green woman is also an homage to the Music in the Rain, which ended with a wonderful song and dance scene.
The scene where the Commander sings the theme song "City of Stars" on the street is the same as the one where the hero of West Side Story sings his love song on the street.
The final waltz of the pair pays homage to the 1940's song and dance film Broadway Melody 1940, and it's a great way for them to get together.
The oil painting behind the round door of the moon is a favorite of many music fans, and pays homage to 1951's An American in Paris
In addition to the song-and-dance scenes, there are also plenty of beautiful, romantic scenes in the film that pay tribute, and they're also superbly eye-pleasing.
A shot of Sister Stone skulking around on the set of An American in Paris with the Gothamist is a great example of this. Isn't the balloon in the little girl's hand in the "life montage" particularly bright and colorful? It's an homage to the 1956 French movie The Red Balloon.
What's past is past?
In City of Love, the love affair between Commander Gao and Ms. Shi did not have a happy ending, but the whole process of "spring, summer, fall, winter and spring" was a happy ending. The process of "spring, summer, fall, winter and spring" is a fresh and warm little blessing. Their first time together is 6 years of comedy film "Crazy Stupid Love", Gao Commander, a veteran of the love field did not expect to fall in the hands of the passionate and cheerful stone sister, so the two people on this played a passionate, male and female love of the joy of the play.
The first time they met and settled down for life, Commander Gao and Sister Stone's first time in the same frame was so intense~
The second time "Gao and Sister Stone CP" were in the same frame was 4 years ago in the gangster movie Gangster Legends, and Commander Gao was a member of the L.A. (still in L.A., but it was the 1940s). But it's the 1940s. Isn't that a past life?) Detectives, stone sister is the gangster's hot lover, the two from the first sight of acquaintance on the budding of love, so the two people thunder and lightning, may be moths to the flame ......

-- In 2008, Stone acted in two movies. One was the music-related comedy King of Rock 'n' Roll, in which she was the bassist and only woman in a cobbled-together rock band, and although she didn't sing in it, she rocked out.
The newly minted Stone in King of Rock
Another youthful film Campus Bunny Girl, she was the unassuming young girl and best friend of the glittering Bunny Girl, and the sisterhood had a scene of awkwardness onstage singing karaoke, with Stone deliberately restraining her good voice to sing "Good Harmony" with her face. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a song. ...... This is also considered her "first try", right?
The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list.
The real show of her singing and dancing skills came in late 2014, when she appeared in the Broadway classic Cabaret, where her sultry styling, dazzling choreography, and stunning vocals finally gave the comedic character a chance to be a serious dancer. Cabaret before settling on her as Mia?)
The movie was a great success.
The actress is a professional burlesque dancer who has made it to the Broadway stage
In fact, she's got such a talent for comedy that she's never refused to be funny in front of people. The first time she was on a variety show Jimmy's Tonight Show, she was able to show off her "mouth" skills, which made the show a hit.
The Tonight Show was a hit when it came to the mouths of the youngsters on the show
After all that, let's talk about Commander Gao - he's a high-profile singer who grew up as one of the resident members of the Disney Channel's "All-New Mickey's Club". "He was a resident member of Disney Channel's "New Mickey's Club" from a very young age, and of course, several of his buddies at the time are now big names - Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Latin diva Christina Aguilera - so it's no surprise that he's a child star. The first time I've ever seen a movie, I've seen a movie, I've seen a movie, I've seen a movie, I've seen a movie, I've seen a movie.
This rare photo from "Mickey's Club" can't be missed.
The youngster's dancing skills were a godsend to him.
In 2012, the music lover formed Dead Man's Bones with Zach, the brother of The Notebook star and then-girlfriend Rachel McAdams, who played guitar and vocals in the band. played guitar and was the lead singer in the band, traveled a lot, and released two albums.
Commander Gao's Dead Man's Bones were a hit
It's clear that Commander Gao's fascination with music has been a constant, but he just hasn't had the chance. It's only now that he's been given the chance to star in his first singing and dancing movie, City of Love.
The actor's years of singing and dancing skills will finally be revealed in "City of Love".
And the audition thing, how many good roles did he miss?
First of all, there's an egg in the air: The "City of Love" Stone is a girl who dreams of being a star, and in her first audition, her passionate performance was interrupted by an assistant who was delivering sandwiches to the judges. ...... In fact, it turned out to be the first time that the High The first time I saw this, I had to go back to the office to get a better idea of what I was doing!
Is it possible that you have the urge to hit someone at this moment? The first time I saw this, I was able to see it in the back of my head!
To continue with the egg, neither Commander Gao nor Ms. Stone were the original choices for the lead role in "City of Love" - the director began the process of casting a male lead because he wanted to continue with his debut "The Exploding Drummer" star Miles Teller ("Fantastic Four 2015"), who is also a member of the cast of the film, and who has been a part of the film since its inception. (Captain Fantastic of the Fantastic Four 2015 and Divergent's Peter), but then switched to Commander Gao because of scheduling issues; and the female lead was initially chosen by Hermione Emma Watson (the other Emma), but this one is a bit of a stretch. "), but this Emma wanted to play the live-action version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast and turned down Philadelphia. What's more interesting is that Commander Gao turned down Beauty and the Beast (although Commander Gao's original role wasn't as Prince of the Beasts, it was as the male counterpart) for Philadelphia - what an unfortunate coincidence!
Fans made two pairs of CP motion picture, two Emma's different flavors, you prefer which one? Even when you're a star, you still have to audition, and you still might not make it to the director's eyeballs - in fact, in addition to the three finalized appearances in the same frame, there's also one potential appearance in the same frame - last year's Star Wars 7 "The Force Awakens". The Force Awakens, Stone auditioned for the female lead fighter Rey, and fellow Star Wars fan Commander Gao also auditioned for the villainous Son of Skywalker, but the two stars, who are already capable of starring in a major movie, lost out to Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, respectively. strong> Adam Driver, two newcomers.
The Stone Sisters auditioned for The Force Awakens starlet Rey, but ultimately lost out to newcomer Daisy Ridley
Commander Gao also auditioned for The Force Awakens anti #1, the Son of Skywalker, but lost out to Adam Driver
Their failed auditions came when both were still freshmen and young adults. Commander missed out on the role of the father in "Lord of the Rings" trilogy director Peter Jackson's film The Lovely Bones, and Commander fattened up in order to fit his father's persona, but Jackson wasn't a fan of the fat version of Commander, and went for a bigger name Mark Wahlberg (Transformers 4). strong> (Transformers 4, Teddy Bear) to replace Commander Gao ......
Commander Gao had missed out on The Lovely Bones, which ended up being played by the big name Mark Wahlberg~
Much like Commander Gao's situation back in the day, brand-new person Sister Stone was in the popular American series strong> "Superheroes" suffered the same treatment -- she aggressively lost weight for the show's cheerleader Claire, auditioned for the role up to the final stretch, and ultimately lost out to fellow newcomer Hayden Panettiere ... ...The red-hot Hayden is still on the TV circuit today, while Stone has become an Oscar winner to rival Auntie Mae, Isabella Yuper and Natalie Portman.... Reserves now.
Stone missed out on Claire, the heroine of the American drama "Superheroes," but it doesn't seem like a shame nowadays.
Finally, an egg: The bar owner who quits Commander Gao at the bar at the beginning of "City of Love" is actually the violent mentor and crazy conductor of director Chazelle's debut film, "Exploding Drummers," which was "The Best of the Best", and was a great success. Strong> J.K. Simon , the Oscars for best supporting actor to live - Chazelle failed to keep the "male lead", this male supporting actor is the old loyalist who reads the grace of yo ~
Breaking Drums violent mentor J. K. Simon, the director of the film, is the first person who has ever been in the same position as the director of the film, and he is also the only one who has been in the film.
