Dongfang.com reporter Bao Yongting said on December 31**: "Many people ask me, why do you want to play the role of Bao?Maybe part of my life is in the world of Flowers. Last night (December 30), the "New Year's Eve with Hu Ge, Ma Yili, and Chen Long" event was held in the Reading Theater of the East Hall of Shanghai Library. Readers and spectators came from all directions, and the scene was full, and even the aisles were full of people. The TV series "Flowers" starring the three is on the air, and they shared their understanding of the characters and the behind-the-scenes stories on the spot.
Looking for the director's foreshadowing for Po
In the dialogue session, Mao Jian, a professor and writer at East China Normal University, asked "What is the difference between Bao and Bao". Hu Ge said with a smile, "Combing your hair is Mr. Bao, and combing your hair is Bao." Po's dress will be more casual and younger. "In terms of character, Po is a savage growth and full of longing for the future;Mr. Bao is calm on the surface and complex in his heart, because he is burdened with a lot of past.
I think I will be closer to Po, and the biggest similarity is that we are fighting for a breath, the more others say that we are not good, the more we have to move forward. Hu Ge said that the director would remind himself many times on the scene, he said that Ah Bao wanted to find Li Xiaoyao's feeling, vigorous and fearless, and the most valuable thing was the breath in his heart, the feeling of not admitting defeat.
A Bao can become a treasure president inseparable from the creation of the times, Hu Ge gave an interpretation from the perspective of an actor. "On the one hand, it is the growth of the character, and on the other hand, it can also be understood as the two sides of a person. No matter how prosperous Mr. Bao's career is, he will always have a Bao in his heart. ”
Hu Ge revealed that **Flowers" tells the story of Bao's childhood and adolescence, although there is not much presentation of this in the play, but the director has laid a lot of foreshadowing. For example, Mr. Bao always has a tank of goldfish in the Peace Hotel, and readers who have read the book will know what the goldfish represents. "I hope that readers and viewers can find these foreshadowings that the director has laid for Po in the next 22 episodes. ”
Po with three women
Mao Jian found that the female characters in the TV series "Flowers" are very righteous. She threw the question to Ma Yili and how she felt about her relationship with Po. "The two are cooperative, shareholder relationships, there is a strong friendship first, how the two meet is an important clue to maintain this relationship. Ma Yili said: "There are many emotions in director Wong Kar-wai's works that cannot be sought, and the relationship between Po and the three women in the play is also like this. Often emotions are because of restraint and obsatiation, which makes people think left and right. ”
At present, the direction of the relationship between Po and the three women in the play is still unclear. Hu Ge said, "During the filming, I also asked the director countless times, who is Bao with?"He never gave an answer. I was scared and didn't know which direction to go. ”
Ingrid Bergman had the same problem when she played Casablanca, and she asked the director which man she loved moreThe director said he didn't know how the story would develop. Because she doesn't know the ending, when Ingrid Bergman performs with the actor, her eyes with love have an uncertainty, and it is precisely this uncertainty that makes the movie. Perhaps Director Wang is also using this way to let Bao continue in the story. Hu Ge said.
Memories of the 90s
In the TV series "Flowers", the director used Po as a clue to show Shanghai in the 90s of the last century. What is the 90s like in the memories of the three Shanghai actors?
Ma Yili remembers seeing the female boss who opened a restaurant on Huanghe Road, "One person is a team, one person can support a large family, and seven aunts and eight aunts are all helping in the restaurant." "Chen Long's grandmother used to live in the area of Jinxian Road, and he is very familiar with the area. "When I was a child, I played with my cousins in the alley and set off firecrackers, and my mother took me to eat cold noodles and cold wontons, and every time I ate a large rib, I had to eat two pieces, and my mother always said that she was not hungry and didn't want to eat. ”
What touched Hu Ge the most was that "Flowers" told the story of his father's generation, and during the filming process, he also found that he understood his father more and more. "In the early 90s, I was in elementary school. In my impression, in addition to working in the factory, my dad had friends come to the house every once in a while to discuss business, but he never saw him make money, and fortunately he didn't lose money. In the great era of ebb and flow, our family is relatively stable. ”
In the play, Mr. Bao and Xiao Ningbo had a rivalry, Xiao Ningbo wanted to jump the Huangpu River, but he didn't even figure out the Suzhou Creek and Huangpu River, and jumped into the Suzhou Creek. This seemingly absurd plot made Hu Ge, who watched the playback after filming, particularly moved.
Director Wang has a habit of playing ** when watching the replay. I vaguely remember that it was the background of "Once Upon a Time in America" that day**, and I suddenly understood my father. My father told young friends and their stories, which I used to think was impossible, how could it be so absurd. That day, I realized that just because I haven't experienced it and that it hasn't happened doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Hu Ge said frankly that "Flowers" has completed a memory puzzle of his own, a puzzle of his parents' cognition when they were young.
