In this cold December, a highly anticipated TV series "Flowers" is about to be launched on CCTV 8 and Tencent.
This work is adapted from Jin Yucheng's name**, which won the 9th Mao Dun Literature Award in 2015. Director Wong Kar-wai has been working on the film and television of ** since 2017, and after three years of hard work, the audience is about to usher in this "unexpected joy".
*The original author Jin Yucheng has been paying close attention to the process of film and television. At the Hong Kong Book Fair, he had a conversation with director Wong Kar-wai about film and television ideas.
At that time, Wong Kar-wai emphasized the importance of preserving the charm of the language, saying that he should try to preserve the charm of the original language. This dialogue not only brought the relationship between the director and the author closer, but also set the tone for the production of the TV series.
For director Wong Kar-wai, "Flowers" is not love at first sight, but at first sight. In a conversation at the 2014 Hong Kong Book Fair, he revealed that this ** filled some gaps in his Shanghai family history, allowing him to see some clues about his Shanghai cousins and cousins in the book.
This personal experience made the director have a special affection for Shanghai, which made him full of a sense of responsibility and mission for film and television work.
In the interview, Kim Yucheng mentioned director Wong Kar-wai's Shanghai background, he explained: "The director's brother and sister are in Shanghai, he and his parents are in Hong Kong, the family is divided into two halves, and Shanghai is definitely the most important topic." I went to Zhang Yuan, the filming place of Xuezhi with him, upstairs and downstairs, his memory was completely opened, thinking of the scene when he met his brother and sister for the first time after a long absence, gushing endlessly, Shanghai has always been concerned about him and the kind of attachment to long-distance relationship. ”
In the trailer of the TV series "Flowers", Jin Yucheng expressed his understanding of the creative attitude of "not making a sound". He believes that "not making noise" is the attitude of a creator, that is, only talking about what can be said, what he wants to say, and speaking well.
This became the password for Jin Yucheng's creation, and it was also the password for his adaptation of the book. He believes that words have the advantage of words, and images have the advantage of images. Although the original book cannot be completely restored, the TV series can present Shanghai Po that cannot be seen in the original book.
Throughout the series, everyone has their own "Flowers" in their hearts. Kim Woo Cheng emphasized that his interpretation is just the word of the family, and this episode is only a small piece of the whole cake.
This openness leaves more room for the imagination of the audience, so that everyone can find their own story in the bustling city of the city.
Kim Woo-seong said that he had watched part of the series, and he spoke highly of the entire series. He believes that the most striking thing is that everyone will be moved when they watch it, because the play restores the scene of people chasing their dreams and creating a world.
This kind of emotion not only comes from the plot itself, but also a nostalgia for that special era, and a deep memory of who I used to be and that era.
The presentation of the TV series "Flowers" will be an affectionate trip to Shanghai. Behind the deep emotions of the director and the author is the special attachment and longing for the city of Shanghai.
The audience will have the opportunity to feel the style of that unique era in front of the screen, walk through the bustling alleys of Shanghai with the characters in the play, and feel the passion and pursuit of that era.
In general, the launch of the TV series "Flowers" is not only a successful adaptation of **, but also an affectionate tribute to the city of Shanghai.
Through the joint efforts of the director and the author, the audience will be transported into a time tunnel full of memories and touches, and experience that unforgettable era of flowers with the characters in the play.
The advent of the TV series "Flowers" is a revisit to that era and a tribute to the city of Shanghai. Behind this prosperity is the director and the author's deep attachment to their homeland, as well as their nostalgia for the past years.
The audience will feel the passion, pursuit and warmth of that era in front of the screen. This work is not only a presentation of a TV series, but also a time back, our nostalgia for the past years. I look forward to the audience being able to immerse themselves in the story of "Flowers" and bloom with the prosperity of this city.
