What is Moulin Rouge?

Red Mill

According to reports, the Red Mill Song and Dance Troupe has a history of more than 11 years. In Paris, France, the Moulin Rouge dance performance is held every night, and the ticket price is between 7-8 euros.

tourists who have been to France generally know that there are two famous singing and dancing performance halls in Paris, one is Lido on the Champs Elysé es in the city center, and the other is Moulin Rouge near the White Square at the foot of Montmartre in the north of the city.

If Lido has American Broadway style, Moulin Rouge, with a long, flashing red impeller on the roof, is a more authentic French dance hall.

Moulin Rouge, a masterpiece by impressionist master Auguste Renoir, made this dance hall famous all over the world.

There are also two films with the theme of Moulin Rouge, one is French Cannon Dance by jean renoir, the great French director, and the other is Moulin Rouge, an entry in this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The latter is a gorgeous Hollywood film starring Nicole Kidman, which tells a sad love story that happened in Moulin Rouge around 19.

After the film was released in France in early October, people once again paid attention to the history and present situation of Moulin Rouge.

The history of Moulin Rouge can be traced back to the second half of 19th century.

At that time, wandering artists from all over the world painted and entertained in Montmartre Heights, which made the area full of artistic atmosphere and became one of the most unique and colorful urban areas in Paris.

Due to the active artistic activities, small cafes and bars are thriving on both sides of the winding cobblestone slope in Montmartre Highland block.

Later, some * * * came to these small cafes and hotels. They wore long skirts with complicated lace, twisted their hips and held their thighs high to the ceiling with chandeliers, accompanied by crazy music rhythm.

At that time, the British called this kind of dance "Cancan Dance", and thought it was debauchery and obscene, so it was forbidden to perform in Britain.

However, the cancan dance is very popular in Montmartre Highlands.

Every year, during the carnival, dancers take to the streets to dance, and people come from all over the city to watch.

Sociologists pointed out that after the defeat of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, France was in a slump.

In real life, scandals abound, financial consortia are fighting against each other, and the contradiction between labor and capital is intensifying.

people are tired of nationalists' big talk, and the whole nation feels extremely empty.

Before finding the coordinates of life again, the French felt depressed and confused.

However, melancholy is not a characteristic of Gauls, and they soon learned to replace their depression with cynicism, which prompted an indulgent atmosphere to pervade Paris.

On October 6th, 1889, the Moulin Rouge Song and Dance Hall was officially born with the music of Kangkang Dance.

The Moulin Rouge painter Toulouse-Lautrec described those greedy spectators in his watercolors, and he himself finally indulged in the Moulin Rouge and ruined his life in the night-to-night carnival with * * *.

Moulin Rouge's * * *, some from France, some from other European countries, America and Australia, have low hopes, and only hope to meet a man who can treat them well.

In the history of Moulin Rouge, many famous artists appeared, such as Gulu, Momm Fromaz and Jenny friel.

One of the most famous is Gulu, who is plump and graceful, with a green satin skirt tied behind her hips. Every time she walks through Montmartre, she causes a commotion. For decades, she has become synonymous with Moulin Rouge.

However, this person's evening scene is bleak. In the 196s, a reporter wanted to write a biography for her, only to find that she actually lived in a trailer.

In addition to * * *, there are some famous male artists in Moulin Rouge, such as yvette Gilbert, who is famous for his jokes. The combination of humorous and elegant jokes makes him a famous French mouth.

During the German occupation in World War II, the family was worried about the national disaster, but * * * didn't know that the country was ruined and hated, and the Moulin Rouge was still singing and dancing.

After the war, Moulin Rouge was severely criticized because of this disgraceful history.

Now Moulin Rouge has become a large-scale cabaret and a tourist attraction in Paris.

If it still maintains some characteristics of a hundred years ago, it is that the dancers' decorations are basically unchanged, and their upper bodies are covered with gorgeous feather costumes or metal pieces, but the audience is completely different from the old spectators. The audience is a modern civilized audience, and they look at the performance with the feeling of discovering Paris. The actors regard the performance as a aboveboard performing career, unlike the * * * of a hundred years ago, in order to please one or several people.

Now there are 4 actresses and 2 actors in Moulin Rouge, who come from all over the world, mainly Australia, Russia and Britain.

An actress must have ballet training, be at least 1.72 meters tall and be between 16 and 25 years old.

Good looks, bright smiles, slender thighs and playful noses ... The starting salary of actors is 12, francs (1 franc is about 1.16 yuan), and the number of senior actors can reach 3,. They pay a lot, work six days a week and perform twice a day.

Marisa (see top left), the main dancer and soloist at Moulin Rouge, comes from Newcastle, Australia. Her father is an engineer, her mother is a nurse, and she is a good woman.

Marisa has been an actress at Moulin Rouge for 15 years and has married an Italian soloist and acrobat in the troupe.

She once performed 6 times in the musical Fantasy (which lasted for 12 years)! Although she is 33 years old this year, people say that she still has the figure of a 17-year-old girl. When performing, her whole outfit weighs 12 kilograms, and she can lift her thighs high like a girl.

Commenting on Nicole Kidman's dance in the film Moulin Rouge, she said, "Not bad, she did her best." It is the dream of many girls to enter Moulin Rouge, because the experience of Moulin Rouge, like the magical secret language of "open sesame" in "Alibaba", makes life a miracle.

Many girls who danced in Moulin Rouge later succeeded in entering the film and television industry.

Moulin Rouge is a profitable enterprise in French entertainment industry.

55% of its audience are foreigners and 45% are French mainlanders.

In recent years, enterprises have adopted some business reforms, such as selling family tickets and various discounted tickets to attract audiences, and achieved success. In three years, the turnover has increased from 13 million francs to 2 million francs.
