After hanging up the phone, Lu Hao couldn't help but run to the bathroom, smoke a cigarette and wash his face with cold water.
Now he understood why Chu Wen insisted on filming "Dancing Girl".
Perhaps, for the audience, "Dancing Girl" is a pure tragedy, a very depressing one.
But for her, "Dancing Girl" is a demon in her heart, a grief, and an emotion that has been suppressed in her heart for a long time and cannot be expressed.
At least, the dancer in the film is still alive.
…
Back to the screening room.
From the 25th minute to the 38th minute mark, this plot is very sweet and heartwarming.
The dancer went through a lot of trouble and finally got rid of the entanglement of the five people. After her suicide attempt failed, she spent some time healing, sorting out her emotions, and leaving the entertainment industry.
She went on a trip, met a boyfriend, and everything was wonderful.
The audience's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
It's like drinking a cup of strong bitter gourd tea and then being stuffed with a piece of greasy toffee.
However, the sugar was quickly licked off.
Kuding tea, served again.
The dancer found out that she was pregnant and followed her boyfriend back to his home, where she was shocked to find a photo of her boyfriend's father.
He is one of the five beasts.
She panicked, left without saying goodbye, and fled frantically.
Pregnant women have a hard time, but they are also strong.
Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
She wandered alone to a strange city, pregnant, and worked odd jobs to save money in order to give birth to the child.
Occasionally, on sunny evenings, she would dance cautiously and clumsily under the moonlight in the cramped rental house.
As long as there is hope, you can survive.
This child became her only hope to survive.
…
Hospital.
ward.
"Where are your family members?"
"If there are no family members, I can sign it myself."
She went into the delivery room.
When she was giving birth, she suffered from severe uterine bleeding. The doctors tried their best to save her and finally brought her back from the brink of death.
"Save the elder or the younger one?"
In a trance, she heard someone asking, and her thoughts seemed to stagnate. The desire to survive made her tremble and answer: "Protect the emperor."
She still wants to live.
She survived.
But because the child was born with cerebral palsy, he didn't cry or make a fuss, and was as quiet as a wooden man.
The doctor suggested giving up treatment and having another baby.
For an ordinary family, this will become a lifelong burden. Treatment will cost a lot of money and effort, but the possibility of cure is very slim.
She didn't speak.
Holding the child, she walked out of the hospital step by step.
…
Lens transition.
She has become a dancer, relying on selling smiles in nightclubs to make a living and support her children.
She began to wear heavy makeup, skillfully moved among all kinds of men, and made up all kinds of lies, becoming more and more adept at it.
She lied.
Also got cheated.
I drink glass after glass of wine, both white wine and beer, to save money for my child's milk powder and medical expenses.
When she has free time, she likes to go to kindergarten the most.
Look at the children there, wearing shiny clothes, pure white stockings and shoes, jumping and dancing happily.
Just like myself when I was a kid.
However... she was starting to get old.
His skin is no longer as full of collagen as it was when he was young, and crow's feet are starting to appear at the corners of his eyes. He is being excluded by young girls in the venue.
The money earned will naturally become less and less.
In the small bed, her child lay there quietly, like a corpse.
…
In this long section, Chu Wen used a lot of montage techniques, and the editing was fragmented. Except for the dancers, there was no man who appeared for more than five minutes.
She went through one man after another.
A three-second boss who looks glamorous on the surface but is actually heavily in debt and suffers from insomnia all night long.
A workplace elite who gets drunk every time he drinks, and who hugs himself and cries loudly when he drinks too much.
He is very handsome, tall, and has a good figure, but he does the same job as me... a male host.
An old priest whom she met when she went to church to pray, but who later came to see her secretly every time.
…
These short clips all have Chu Wen's unique black humor.
The characters appear glamorous when they first appear, but once their true nature is revealed, they are in chaos.
All living beings suffer.
Everyone is guilty.
Occasionally, there would be a heart-wrenching line, full of bloody and rough texture.
——"Do men love beautiful women? No, they don't love them at all. Beauty is unforgivable and is meant to be ravaged."
…
——"We all ran forward as fast as we could, as if we were escaping."
…
——"Forgive the unforgivable and pray for them. This is God's business. I can't do it. What I want to do is send him to see God."
…
——"When you're a kid, everyone thinks their future is bright, right?"
The end of the film.
The dancer was seriously ill. Lying on the hospital bed, she felt that the world in front of her had turned black.
Then it turned into color again.
She seemed to have returned to many years ago, when she was standing on tiptoe and dancing a beautiful dance.
She seemed to hear again that her child could speak and called softly... "Mom".
A magical ending.
The movie is over.
In the screening room, the audience was silent, each of them deeply hurt.
It’s indeed box office poison!
This movie is really heartbreaking. It makes people feel heartbroken and angry, unable to vent it out.
