Title: "Flowers" makes a stunning debut, is it a hurricane or a stormy wave?
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I heard that the ratings of "Flowers" were hot, and netizens complained wildly, and the noise was turned upside down. Hey, don't worry, let's talk slowly and see if this is a hot fight or a ratings miracle of Hu Ge.
In other words, "Flowers" debuted domineeringly at 8 o'clock last night, but as a result, netizens immediately began to "bombard indiscriminately" when they saw it. Some people say that "Wong Kar-wai doesn't understand flowers at all", and some people catch and fight, tearing each other apart with "Little Times" and "Flowers". Oops, this comment sounds more sumptuous than my three meals a day, dear, I'm a little envious.
Don't think that this "Flowers" is scolded like this, in fact, it is adapted from a ** that won the Mao Dun Literature Award, called "Flowers", and the name is a "withering story behind the flowers". The bright lights are just the appearance, and the real story lies in the "falling flowers", oops, it feels a little sad.
The most fierce controversy mainly focuses on the background setting, saying how could the Yellow River Road in Shanghai in the 90s be so prosperous?Netizens took out old photos one after another, and found that the set was really restored to one to one, and it was almost a "Hello, Li Huanying" to that era. The only difference is that the imaginary Shanghai in the 90s is full of vitality and vigor, but the color palette in the play is like a layer of "yellow", too clean and modern, and lacks a bit of fireworks. Pan Hong's "Stock Madness" is comparable, and "Flowers" is almost meaningful.
Wong Kar-wai has long predicted this controversy, he said: "Maybe when the audience watches our drama, they will think that some scenes are too prosperous, and that is because it is necessary to restore the feelings of people at that time." "Oh, the director has explained, and the audience naturally has to give two episodes a chance.
With Wong Kar-wai's escort, coupled with Hu Ge's big responsibility, the ratings of "Flowers" "exploded" as soon as it was released, and it has broken 2, which is really pleasing to the eye. So, is this drama worth watching?Take a look at my personal opinion, it's totally worth it!
First of all, the light and shadow and composition are simply intoxicating. I used to think that Hu Ge was not a top handsome guy, but under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, he was so handsome. The suit is straight, the back is big, this atmosphere and tone are really the most proud Mr. Bao on the Yellow River Road.
is not only Hu Ge, but Xin Zhilei is also a big heroine under the camera. is like a rose in the night, the unique charm of a mature woman, and when she appears on the stage with a wine glass and a light smile, it really blooms instantly. She plays Li Li, but the foreign proprietress on the Yellow River Road, has mysterious attributes, and no one knows about the past experience, but a Qingdao man from Shenzhen took over the Golden Phoenix with 30 million yuan, and completed the opening within three months, becoming an existence that cannot be ignored on the Yellow River Road. Hey, this woman is amazing!
Besides, Reiko played by Ma Yili, the proprietress of Tokyo at night, is shrewd and humane, righteous to friends, and even helped settle the accounts when Ah Bao was hit and was unknown, and also took the initiative to pay the rent, and the relationship with Ah Bao is complicated but not to become lovers. This Ma Yili plays this kind of Shanghai woman, which is really easy.
Even if Tang Yan doesn't report her hope, she was recognized by the audience as soon as her voice came out, and her image also broke through.
There is also a ninety-year-old You Benchang, a first-class actor of the National Theater, who became famous as Jigong in his early years, and he is a boss when he appears this time. The vicissitudes and tribulations are all in plain sight, and it is really a heavy texture. As soon as the close-up camera is pulled, the old man's emotions are revealed, and his emotions can be conveyed without words.
Speaking of the story of "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai's camera movement and editing are simply like a silver bead falling on a jade plate. In the first two episodes, Hu Gebao's connections were explained, and in the third episode, he discussed the battle method with Li Li and Wei Zong. After only a few episodes, the rhythm is so fast that it flies, because sometimes a line is brought over, and it is said so profoundly that you can't keep up with the rhythm if you miss a few seconds.
However, some people said that they were "in the clouds", feeling that the plot was messy, the editing was chaotic, and they were a little incomprehensible. Therefore, the word-of-mouth of "Flowers" is destined to be polarized, and good-looking people think: Why is Wong Kar-wai's light and shadow scheduling so good?The actors are so good-looking, which is a relief for the audience who have been devastated by all kinds of shoddy PPT transitions and assembly line idol dramas;And those who think it's not good-looking think: The plot is messy, neither the original book is filmed to mess with the secular relationship between men and women**, nor does it shoot the chaotic and vigorous life story of 1992.
This debate about whether it looks good or not may never end, but in any case, the heat is certainly not low. After all, "Flowers" has a degree of discussion and attention, and with Hu Ge's ratings guarantee, this is really the first hit drama of the year. So, friends, it's time to join this "flowers" discussion, whether it is a hurricane or a stormy wave, what do you think?
