Wong Kar-wai made films and became a top director, although the audience of his films is a minority, but he is quite influential in the international film scene.
I didn't expect to see a TV series directed by Wong Kar-wai in my lifetime.
Wong Kar-wai came to shoot a TV series, which was a dimensionality reduction blow, and the movie shooting technique was used in the TV series, which was quite advanced.
As soon as "Flowers" was launched, the style was really very high, and the opening of the film showed a full bronzing texture.
Composition, lighting, camera movement, and narrative are all Wong Kar-wai's sense of luxury.
However, the controversy that ensued was also very loud, because Wong Kar-wai changed "Flowers" to be completely different from Jin Yucheng's original work**.
Only the line of Ah Bao was retained, and it was made into a Shanghai business war film.
It's really good-looking, the plot is fast-paced, and the information density is high.
Handsome men and beautiful women, bright lights, neon flashing, business dealings, capital fighting, quite fascinating.
A Bao played by Hu Ge is young, and he has been supported by superiors, and he is already well-known on the Yellow River Road.
At the beginning of the play, Po was hit by a taxi on Chinese New Year's Eve, and someone wanted to murder him.
This forms the first suspense of the play, who wants to kill Po?
Mr. Fan, a small boss from Zhejiang, came to talk to Bao about business, but he couldn't see Bao because of this accident, so he waited on Huanghe Road for more than three months.
finally waited for Ah Bao to ask him to meet, Ah Bao waited for him when he arrived at the red heron, but he insisted on staying in Zhizhen Garden.
Because, the proprietress of Zhizhenyuan, Li Li's new store, opened, and wanted the biggest topic on Huanghe Road, Mr. Bao, to be there.
If Mr. Bao is not present, then Li Li will bother to keep Mr. Fan and achieve the cooperation between Mr. Fan and Mr. Wei.
The business that Mr. Bao wants to do must not be a small business.
What kind of business can make Mr. Bao happy?
After a few episodes, what Mr. Fan's business is, he was stunned and did not disclose it.
This again constitutes a suspense.
So Li Li sent a cleaner to Mr. Fan to get information.
At this time, Mr. Fan's business was about to be cut off by Mr. Wei, but Mr. Bao was not in a hurry or slow, only Miss Wang of the foreign trade company was in a hurry.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?Is it really willing to give up the business and let others take the lead?
There are hooks everywhere in the play, attracting people to take the bait, and they are full of expectations for the revelation of the mystery in the follow-up plot.
In addition to business, the biggest gimmick of the plot is Bao's emotional line.
Po has 3 women by her side, one is Reiko (played by Ma Yili), the proprietress of Night Tokyo.
Reiko can be said to be Po's confidante, and according to her, she had a bed-first relationship.
Reiko is a shrewd Shanghai woman, knowing that she can't ask Po for affection, so she wholeheartedly gets money from Po.
At night, Tokyo was full of guests, and Reiko relied on Bao's relationship to sell ** meals, but she was losing money every year, and she asked for money for decoration at every turn.
Ah Bao asked Reiko to keep the account, but Reiko said that she wouldn't know how to find someone to teach, but she said that she was too busy.
The accounts in Tokyo at night are in shambles, but in fact, Po knows that all the oil and water have gone into Reiko's pocket.
took out a piece of jewelry and asked Ah Bao to coax Miss Wang, 2600 **, and asked Ah Bao for 26,000.
Although she doesn't forget to get money from Po everywhere, Reiko may not have true feelings for Po.
When others talked about Mr. Bao's flower head, Lingzi suddenly stopped her hand, Linghong complained that Tao Tao and Ah Bao are both slimy men, and she won't want such a man.
Ah Bao and Miss Wang (played by Tang Yan) verbally say that they are revolutionary friendships, but Miss Wang is obviously not a revolutionary friendship with Ah Bao, and everyone can see that this fiery, innocent and enthusiastic girl loves Ah Bao deeply.
When he learned that Mr. Bao's life and death were uncertain, Mr. Fan told Miss Wang that he couldn't wait to suffer for Mr. Bao.
Unexpectedly, Miss Wang asked sharply, if Mr. Bao is blind, is Mr. Fan willing to give his eyes to Mr. Bao?
Mr. Fan immediately became cowardly, saying that I have a business with Mr. Bao, so I can't gouge out my eyes, right?
Miss Wang immediately said categorically, I am willing.
Miss Wang is not a scene, nor is she lying, and then Mr. Bao went alone to deal with the matter of Sanyang Gao Imitation, Miss Wang was worried about his safety, and immediately bought a new car for 25,000, rushed to save people, and had a car accident halfway, and almost died.
For Bao, Miss Wang can really give her life.
The picture of the two on New Year's Eve together is by no means an innocent revolutionary friendship, and the color atmosphere is extremely ambiguous.
Uncle said to Bao, Miss Wang is too good to say to you.
Uncle also said to Ah Bao, you can't make a lot of money in total, you are so concerned, isn't it to help Miss Wang rush to be promoted to section chief, do you want to ask her to be his wife?
It can only be said that Miss Wang and Ah Bao are feelings sublimated from revolutionary friendship.
The last thing I have to say, and the most interesting, is the relationship between Ah Bao and Li Li, the proprietress of Zhizhen Garden.
The ambiguity and pull of these two people are the most interesting because their strategies, wisdom, and means are evenly matched.
The relationship between them started from competing with each other, and then turned into giving favors to each other and returning favors.
In the defense of the Yellow River Road, Ah Bao did not hesitate to use his uncle's relationship to support Li Li.
Po's narration said that the Garden of Truth is mine, and it is impossible to escape.
It can be imagined from this that Ah Bao should have paid too much for Li Li and Zhizhenyuan in the later period, and may even have paid a heavy price.
Li Li, played by Xin Zhilei, is cold, mysterious, courageous, and has means.
is different from her funny and "ruined design" in variety shows, Xin Zhilei in the play is a cold and noble image of a strong woman, and the role of Li Li is full of charm.
"Flowers" has two main lines, one is Bao's business war, and the other is the relationship between Bao's and the three women around him, one side is money, the other is beauty, the two lines are crossed, the plot is fast-paced, full of highlights.
Wong Kar-wai's first TV series has weakened the literary and artistic atmosphere of the movie, and the commercialization of the plot is particularly obvious, whether it is the lens, editing, light and shadow, or camera movement, it is full of Wong Kar-wai's lens aesthetics, and at the same time, the narrative can be said to be quite mature and complete, the details are exquisite, the plot is exciting, and it is a rare good drama in the near future.
A good drama that has been watched n times
