Sing in the rain with a smile

The classic Hollywood musical tells the story of how silent actor Don Lockwood found a way to regain the audience's attention despite the onslaught of talkies.

Tang Yuzhong danced, his friend Cosmo danced on the set, and the three of them happily greeted the early morning dance after making plans for the new film. Every dance was infinitely silky, songs sung according to mood, tap dances that moved with the body, and Broadway stage performances interspersed. Gives a great audio-visual enjoyment.

Although singing and dancing is a happy thing and the main theme of the movie, it still conveys a hint of sadness in the film.

On the red carpet of the opening movie premiere, in order to stabilize his image, Tang gave a fictional account of his glorious road to fame, but the pain from musicians to stunt performers to mime actors can only be digested by himself; his partner Linna's on-screen image is perfect Jiadan has a sharp voice, and is rarely allowed to speak in public in order not to damage his image, and he is even forced to perform post-dubbing when shooting a sound film; the silent film industry has been impacted by sound films, and the male protagonist Tang and his company have to be forced to modify their works to suit the audience; Hollywood's huge star-making ability and strong audience attraction have caused the loss of Broadway stage audiences and the impact of the industry. Casey's stage dream has nowhere to bloom and can only do boring song and dance performances at parties.

The classic of "Sing in the Rain" is on the one hand because of its high-quality singing and dancing scenes, and on the other hand, because of its objective record of the history of film development, through the conflict between silent films, sound films and Broadway stage plays, it has triggered filmmakers. Reflections on the Art of Cinema.

In the development of the times, new things will always appear. We may be impacted or get opportunities, but we must have the ability to smile and sing in the rain at any time, let the enthusiasm of singing and dancing dispel the sadness of the times, and enjoy the growth brought by the heavy rain.
