Recently, I believe everyone has been attracted by a hit drama, that is, "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai. As soon as this drama was launched, the ratings soared to 2 in just 10 minutes, setting a record at the end of the year, showing its charm and influence. Like a torrent, it sparked a wave of discussion, and the audience went crazy about it, and they became loyal fans of the work. Nowadays, its popularity is getting wider and wider, and it has become one of the hottest TV series at the moment.
originally thought that this TV series had a tidal reputation and could at least receive countless high evaluations of four or five stars, but when I stepped into the comment area, I found that low scores and bad reviews poured in, especially the many dissatisfaction of some loyal fans with the plot. Although its ratings were once high, they have recently seen a significant decline.
The original work of the play was written by Jin Yucheng, set in Shanghai at the end of the 19th century, and mainly tells the story of the young man A Bao's rapid rise to become the president of Bao and enjoy the prosperous life in Shanghai. However, although it has been released on CCTV** and will be broadcast on Dragon TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV, it has received a lot of bad reviews and caused widespread discussion.
There are several reasons why the audience has a bad review of the show. First of all, there are too many insertions in the soundtrack, which is off-putting. Most viewers, after watching one episode, found that the timing of the soundtrack insertion in the show was very strange. If the background is used properly, it can enhance the atmosphere of the whole TV series and stimulate the emotions of the audience, but this show fails to do this.
After watching this drama too much, it's really a bit like "the wolf is coming". The soundtrack suddenly climaxes, making one think that some dramatic twist will take place next, like an imminent vignette or character conflict. The tension of the audience rises, but the next moment is just a bland transition scene, which makes people suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
The frequency of similar soundtracks that appear in the first episode is a bit too frequent, and it is a bit offensive to listen to. After making and promoting for so long, can't you change it a little and choose a different **?In such a bustling Shanghai, it is accompanied by a Tuhi-style background**, which makes people feel a little out of place, as if they are watching a piece of earthy flavor on Douyin**.
Although the shots directed by Wong Kar-wai are not close to reality, they tend to be gloomy and heavy in terms of soundtrack. What's even more puzzling is why you use **, which is almost exactly the same as the opening song of "Succession", and even the stepping points are so similar?The audience couldn't help but complain: "I don't even want my face!.""Sometimes when I close my eyes and pause for a moment, I will mistakenly think that it is another TV series.
For a good script and the work of a well-known director, it is really embarrassing to use borrowed tunes. Can't we pursue originality, but we have to learn from it?This will inevitably stain the director's career.
Also, the clips of the episodes appear a bit fragmented and look exhausting. Director Wong Kar-wai is known to please the audience with excellent shots and frames, but this editing seems to make people feel uncomfortable.
There are significant differences in the way movies and TV series are expressed. Movies such as "East Evil and West Poison" are deeply imprinted in the hearts of Wong Kar-wai fans with their unique pictures and concise lines. However, the requirements for filming movies and TV series are very different.
The film conveys the story through as concise as possible footage, giving the audience a clear understanding of the plot ins and outs. Even if the film uses a stream of memories, the audience can feel the esoteric atmosphere. In contrast, TV dramas show more details by stretching the page. Typical examples such as the movie version of "The Three Teams" and the hit TV series version, although the story is the same, the two present very different feelings. While keeping the main line clear, the TV series will also present more branches and details.
However, the way "Flowers" is handled seems to be contrary to this principle. The inserted narrative is short and cluttered, giving the impression that it is difficult to read. Viewers have to struggle to understand the TV series, which is more like a secondary creation than a smooth expression compared to the original.
Except for the editing factor, the stories told in the TV series seem to be gradually alienated from **. Although it presents a wonderful business battle scene, it inevitably introduces a cliché love plot, which is contrary to the theme of business war. As a business war drama, the audience is looking forward to deceit and open and secret fighting, rather than untimely love twists and turns.
Miss Wang does not develop in the direction of silly white sweetness, on the contrary, her character seems to take a sword-sided, and the business war plot occupies most of the overall plot. I hope that the future plot will satisfy the audience, after all, no one wants to see a movie that has been longed for many years end up like this.
Throughout the TV series, the performance of the protagonist Hu Ge sometimes deviated from expectations, and some young actresses failed to fully present the emotions in **, which disappointed many viewers. Despite this, there are still two characters who have managed to attract the attention of the audience in the play, and the performances of these two actors are superb.
Uncle, played by You Benchang, always appears with Po. There was an unfathomable vibe about him, and the glasses made his gaze appear calm and deep. used to be a big role in the Foreign Trade Building, but although he lost his former identity, he still maintained his original ability.
He has always supported Ah Bao and cultivated a poor silly boy into a figure that everyone knows about the Yellow River Road. As a national first-class actor, his image in film and television works is unforgettable, especially his role as Jigong, which is impressive. His temperament is as steady as Mount Tai, and he is always calm and calm in the face of difficulties, which adds a lot of quality to the whole drama.
Mr. Fan, played by Dong Yong, is shown as a foolish and shrewd businessman. As soon as he appears, people can feel his unique character traits, and when other characters may still be confused, they only need to glance at him to know his true colors. An actor who can achieve this situation must have rich acting experience.
Dong Yong revealed in an interview with "Morning News" that since he cooperated with Wong Kar-wai to shoot the drama "Flowers", the standard of filming that he had pursued for more than 30 years collapsed instantly. This cooperation has put forward extreme requirements for him, as well as the excellence of performance, which has made the acting skills of this veteran actor recognized by more audiences.
Before the show started, director Wong Kar-wai was highly anticipated, however, with the broadcast of the plot, problems gradually surfaced. Fortunately, the old artists and acting schools in the play have successfully supported the overall level of acting, providing the audience with some expectations that there will be more surprises in the follow-up plot.
Overall, Dong Yong said in the interview that although he faced some challenges in the cooperation, he affirmed the performance of the old drama bones and acting schools in the play, and looked forward to presenting more plots that surprised the audience in the future. The information of this interview is published in the "Morning News" and the official Weibo of "Flowers".
