Every frame is an aesthetic!In just one minute, there are several god-level shots, Wong Kar-wai served as a TV series director for the first time, Oscar Best Cinematography Bao Dexi served as the visual director, Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, Zheng Kai and other actors starred, which lasted three years of shooting, the original ** "Flowers" won the Mao Dun Literature Award, as the New Year's Eve finale drama "Flowers", it can be said that it has been called for a long time, on the evening of December 17, the official Weibo of the TV series "Flowers" announced that the show is scheduled to be broadcast on December 27.
When Wong Kar-wai met the Mao Dun Literary Award
This drama is adapted from the writer Jin Yucheng's name**, the story revolves around the protagonist A Bao (played by Hu Ge), telling the story of a Shanghai legend in the early 90s of the last century, when A Bao became "Mr. Bao".
In 2012, Jin Yucheng's "Flowers" was hailed as "one of the best cities" as soon as it was published, selling more than 200,000 copies and winning many domestic literary awards that year. "Flowers" is even known as the most Shanghai-textured ** after Zhang Ailing. The following year, "Flowers" won the first Lu Xun Cultural Award of the Year, and then won the 9th Mao Dun Literature Award in 2015.
Wong Kar-wai, who was born in Shanghai, hit it off at first sight and bought the adaptation rights in 2014. The drama lasted for many years from preparation to filming, and many book fans and drama fans are looking forward to it.
It remains to be seen how the director, known for his filmmaking, will end up on the TV series. However, judging from the visuals released so far, although Zhang Shuping has left, "Flowers" still has a very strong "Wang style", and from the main visual poster of "Flowers", you can see the artistic large-character title that is very characteristic of Wong Kar-wai's works. Wong Kar-wai is still very "Wong Kar-wai".
Every story world under Wong Kar Wai's lens will have a color that belongs to it. From posters to films, this color will always follow the world of this work. When people watch film and television works, they will forget. Dialogues, characters, and scenes will gradually blur in memory, and Wong Kar-wai wants people to remember, even if it's just a feeling.
In Wong Kar-wai's mouth, "Flowers" will be the third part of "In the Mood for Love" and "2046", continuing to show his Wong Kar-wai Shanghai complex. This time, the story was dyed in a luxurious gold.
"Flowers: Annotated Edition" launched a 3D barrage
If a TV series comes from the original work of the Mao Dun Literature Award, then another annotated version directly upgrades "Flowers" to a 3D version. In June 2023, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House published "Flowers: Annotated Edition", annotated by Shen Hongfei and typeset by Jiang Qinggong. Lao Jin is silent, it all depends on Shen Ye, and the landing point of the annotated version and the focus of the original work overlap and discrepancy. Jin Yucheng's clothing, food, housing, and transportation, which are easy to be taken by ordinary readers, have the meaning of polyphony after being strengthened by Shen Hongfei. Yao Xiaohua commented that the annotation was the result of Shen Hongfei hooking up with the original work. The annotator Shen Hongfei ridiculed himself as an interjector, a coaxing person, a stubble, and a barrage alone.
On the one hand, fans of the original book are in an anticipating and apprehensive mood, rubbing their little hands and waiting for the broadcast, on the other hand, fans who have not seen the original book call the trailer really "Wong Kar-wai", but there are many characters, the story background is not particularly understood, and I can't understand Shanghainese - "I didn't understand it too clearly"!
Whether it is the day when the calendar is torn up and other broadcasts, or the days when you are immersed in the Shanghai flavor of Jin Yucheng and Wong Kar-wai, the annotated version of Jin Yucheng's "no sound" will be in the form of a paper "barrage" - "ringing" with you.
"Flowers", which is "slow" and meticulously worked, is really coming
In both the poster and the trailer, you can see an elegant and delicate gold shrouded in the whole story, and we can roughly guess that this symbolizes the prosperous Shanghai at that time and the turbulent time when the protagonist A Bao became the "boss of Bao".
Even though it's a series, you can still see a strong cinematic tone in the trailer. A Bao played by Hu Ge still retains the characteristics of Wong Kar-wai's isolated character.
The blurred background and the lonely protagonist, the large and empty set and the small character always tell an inexplicable loneliness.
Only this time, "Flowers" has faded the gray and dusty old movie flavor in Wong Kar-wai's films, and we will wait and see whether this series can be as amazing as his films.
As the first TV series work directed by Wong Kar-wai, "Flowers" has been highly anticipated from the beginning of preparation. The play also adheres to Wong Kar-wai's tradition of "slow" work and meticulous work. The eager audience said, "I can't believe that "Flowers" is really coming......Blown up, blown up, blown up!The trailer directly makes people look forward to it!"Wong Kar-wai's first TV series, let's 'judge' together!”
