Chapter 187
Chapter 187
The climax of the movie begins with Iris' piano recital.
Prior to this, the director only used montage techniques to show Iris's unique talent for playing the piano, such as playing the piano with his fingers on his arm before going to bed, and only hearing a melody hovering in his ears when he went to school with his head empty. When she was really dressed up and sat in front of the piano, the audience witnessed the strong shock she brought for the first time.
The light golden hair is like flowing mercury under sufficient light, and against Iris's skin texture, it has a bit of diamond-like sparkle, which contrasts sharply with the black bow tied around her neck.
The white is whiter, and the black is blacker.
Her lips were the color of fresh blood that had been kissed, and the intense red instantly made that overly fair face come alive, making it extremely glamorous.
And when her fingers lightly pressed on the keys, the cadenza that belonged to Iris officially kicked off.
The hands of these young women should not be described as slender and soft.
From the upper arm to the palm, and then from the palm to the fingers, long-term high-intensity practice has brought strength that is different from ordinary people, just like the body of some swimmers, with thin muscles attached to the stretched limbs, blue Blood vessels are visible to the naked eye in high-definition footage.
To be honest, Iris's hands don't seem to have anything to do with feminine beauty, they form a weird and inseparable harmony with her near-perfect features.
But when the performance begins, the hands of the pianist move—they are more pleasing to the eye than anything else!
As soon as these powerful, deep, full chords appeared, they firmly grasped the ears of the audience.
Then, her magical hands quickly released the magic, the long-span vibrato was magnificent and tragic, and the fast arpeggio was dripping, advancing the piece step by step to the most intense part of the whole piece.
The strong and fast sounds continued one after another, and all the brewing emotions burst out at this moment. The beauty of art was like a holy light, covering only the thin but powerful figure of Iris.
Oh my God!
She is simply a stunner who has been kissed by God!
The audience of the concert is already intoxicated in this infinite wonderful enjoyment, and the audience outside the movie can't help but be deeply fascinated by the scene of showing off skills at the beginning.
"Oh my god!" Brady stretched his neck exaggeratedly, still reminiscing about the dazzling shot just now, "Is this speeding up? This is definitely double speed!"
"To be exact, no." Gavin crossed his arms, admiring but limited, "Her landing strength is completely consistent with the sound track, and the feedback from the live radio is also obvious. It is indeed similar in performance. It's done at a professional level. Oh, there are a few edits that aren't obvious though."
Brady ignored Gavin's last words and commented contentedly: "Oh, it doesn't matter, I just need to know that the actress I like is really good, and sweeping awards season is just around the corner-Hass, last time you watched Is a Dupre biopic that cool?"
"That's not a biographical film." Hesses emphasized, "They are two completely different movies. "She Is Lonely Than Fireworks" is a very traditional literary film that depicts the eccentricities of geniuses, while the "She Is Lonely Than Fireworks" we are watching now "The Perfect Victim" is more like a suspenseful movie, I always feel that this concert is not that simple..."
"Aha, here's some hard stuff, I like Liszt!" Gavin's eyes lit up suddenly, he adjusted his posture to focus on the movie, and reminded his friends, "That's right, this kind of easy-going show-off Feeling, the conceit of a genius alone, "The Devil" is really a wonderful song, I have a feeling that the director is going to let the heroine do more tricks!"
Speaking of this, the piano major music student put his finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence.
In fact, even if he didn't do anything, his two friends couldn't help but stop talking.
Because at this moment, the entire auditorium fell silent.
"This piece should be Liszt's "The Demon King." As a professional film critic, Peter Travers is always very keen, listening intently, while analyzing the film from a professional perspective, "Liszt's works are always like this It is suitable for showing off skills, and you can tell that the director has succeeded halfway by looking at everyone's expressions... As for the heroine-wow! I have to say, the absolute performance level, the right-hand octave speed in the first four bars is amazing, and the movie also intentionally gives close-up, but the control at the back is a bit indulgent, making people hear the ease of magic and wildness."
With ease?not completely.
It's more like a kind of genius-like arrogance that looks down on all living beings, and the elusive loneliness that comes with it.
Iris is a mystery.
She was born from a brilliant place, but cast a deep shadow behind her, which is always with her and inseparable.
The emotional color of the music is deeply shaped, and the movie quickly tells the audience why it is "The Devil", and it can only be "The Devil": Iris is the mastermind behind everything, and she has never been a pure and innocent good person .
After "The Devil", it is another iconic track belonging to Liszt.
The picture hovering above Iris's head suddenly darkened, and then a series of light melodies like flowing spring water sounded, which belonged to the famous "Bell" by Liszt, the king of pianos.
This highly difficult piece comes from a collection of piano pieces dedicated to German pianists Clara and Schumann by Liszt. It is the third of the six major etudes on the theme of Paganini, also known as spring water.
The crisp timbre and overtone playing of the piano form a short and powerful sound, like a series of melodious small bells ringing, gorgeous and cheerful.
The picture on the big screen became bright again, and the camera zoomed out to quickly scan the entire concert site.
Bentley, who was late, didn't look for his seat according to the ticket in his hand, but looked around the crowded hall, and stopped at the entrance.
A follow-up light was aimed at Iris who was performing at the concert. At this time, she was wearing another long skirt. The main color of her upper body was white, and it was made into a gradient of dark blue from top to bottom. The beaded skirt looks like a starry night galaxy.
And tonight, all the stars fell beside her.
High-difficulty techniques such as rapid octave changes, rounds, and staccatos continue to appear in Iris's magical hands.
Especially when she jumps four octaves with one hand, she is really like a flying phantom, which is amazing.
The fast editing is perfectly matched to this dizzying virtuosity, and the freehand and ostentatious playing style that belongs to Iris also complements Liszt, so bold and fierce that it does not seem to be written by a woman.
Still such a beautiful and gentle young woman.
But it is precisely because of this that Iris's inner world has already quietly opened a corner in this passionate piano sound, but when the film progresses to this point, many people, like the hero at this time, did not notice it.
The bright tone of "The Bell" washes away the tension brought by "The Demon King". Although this piece is still extremely fast, it gives people a completely different listening experience.
The feast reached its peak at this time.
When Bentley looked at Iris, his bright eyes and lingering eyes had already shown that the God of Cupid had officially captured this man, and a ray of tenderness made his vicious dog-like insight lose the vigilance it should have.
After the show, Bentley came backstage.
Facing the bouquets and gifts that were almost nowhere to be placed in the lounge, the man who had done nothing but investigate the case felt unconfident and embarrassed for a few seconds, so while waiting for Iris, he quietly folded one of the bouquets. I planted the most beautiful rose as a gift to congratulate her.
——This is the first time that Bentley crossed his own morality for Iris.
Iris, who appeared in costume, made the whole room magnificent, and Bentley, like a boy who sympathized with Dou Chukai, sent a "white rose" carefully selected by him.
Iris accepted his gift, but her expression was a bit subtle, because he picked and picked the eustoma that was paired with a bunch of lilies.
Compared with real roses, the flower shape of eustoma is more slender and delicate, and its flower language also has the meaning of purity and innocence, so it is called "thornless rose".
Iris didn't correct Bentley's mistake, but just sent the man away in a hurry, far less relaxed than the previous few meetings, but Bentley, who had just fallen in love, subconsciously ignored this point and thought he had done something wrong What, can't help but feel annoyed.
The lounge door was softly shut without a lock.
Iris, who was supposed to remove her makeup, was in front of the dressing table, holding the so-called "rose" between her fingers.
At the same time, her other lover, Carl, was pressing down on her and kissing her unscrupulously. He was almost fanatically obsessed with this evil flower irrigated by himself, but he didn't notice the colder eyes of Iris in the mirror.
"Iris..."
"Listen to the applause of those people! They regard you as a rising piano goddess, a talented performer!"
"You certainly haven't noticed how ecstatic the idiots are when you're performing on stage—everyone is obsessed with you tonight, even fanatical."
"And I, and only I, can completely possess you. You are my property. It is I who fished you out of the rotten mud, washed you carefully, and made you appear so glamorous in front of people... "
"Now, look at me—tell me, how do you feel?"
Iris's snow-white cheeks were slightly flushed, and the traces of lipstick were fainted from the lip line due to passively receiving too rough kisses. A strand of hair on her forehead was stuck to her temples, adding a bit of gorgeous color to her.
Karl's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were as dark as night.
At this time, Iris reached out and gently stroked Carl's throat, with a gentle expression: "Carl, I really want to kill you."
"Kill me?——" Carl let out an unimaginable but joyous chuckle, "Interesting. When did you start talking about love, my little sweetheart?"
As she said that, this handsome and arrogant face approached Iris's shoulder, and she lowered her head to take a sniff. Many silent and suppressed emotions surged again, bursting out with weird sweetness and a hint of hidden danger.
Iris didn't seem to notice.
Her gaze crossed the dark brown hair of the man in front of her, and drifted to the wall opposite the dressing table in the lounge. Flowers of various colors were like colorful decorations, making his pale and cold body alive and full of fragrance. , looks very moving.
But the wall can be filled with flowers, but her heart is always empty, collapsing silently in a silent place.
She really wanted to kill the man in front of her.
—how ridiculous that he didn't believe it at all?
