— The street is the weather of old wall lying in the mist...The beginning of "Asphalt Adonis"
Writing German poetry and composing the poems for the musical of my film is amazing. I feel the same way about writing the subtitles in English.
The Ragdoll named The Zazie and the Paper-Painter doll named Asphalt Adonis.
1.Life is often likened to a highway, a metaphor that captures its unpredictable nature and the choices we make along the way. In the mad swirl of asphalt ribbons, where neon dreams flicker like fireflies in the cool night air, the jazz of life hums through the veins of forgotten cities, and we, the souls of the universe, chase the stars in the rearview mirror, laughing, crying, bound by the rhythm of the road, always searching, always free.
2.The drawings are thrown onto wet asphalt after the paper-painter, the ragdoll collects the drawings, then the ragdoll recites her poems to her lost love, to the paper-painter, Adonis. The drawings are on wet asphalt with the ragdoll, but the paper-painter gone. The short musical film in German language is about lost and impossible love, a sad fairy tale of separation. The film features a unique, velvety gentle and romantic vocal of the ragdoll, accompanied by the small orchestral trio. The film is full of love stories between the paper-painter and the ragdoll, eight memories. Sad, melancholic, hypnotic, mellow, hopeful and softly replies to the drawings.
3.Waiting for the film, we are entering into the mood of the film. The trailer celebrating a special day, the birthday party where the paper-painter and the hand-sewn ragdoll gifted. The trailer invites us into the film's fairy and emotional universe.
4.Each frame of the film serves as a canvas, holding a fleeting moment of hand-drawn life. With its hand-drawn art, Asphalt Adonis' Ars Poetica is a visually and aurally engaging listen. I wrote 12 bittersweet poems, 4 poems for the trailer. The film is multilayered.
5.I created the music for my film "Asphalt Adonis" to evoke a profound sense of memory and longing. The score is designed to be both dreamy and melancholic, drawing the audience into a hypnotic world where the visual and auditory merge seamlessly. The film itself becomes a form of musical expression, touching the heart as both a musical film and a piece of music-art video.
