On December 27th, the high-profile "Flowers" finally started broadcasting, this drama was popular before it was broadcast, and it was constantly searched before the broadcast, causing discussions. Judging from the ratings trend on the day of the premiere, the situation is not good, although the ratings broke 2, but the ratings have declined since the second episode, and it feels a bit high and low.
However, this has just started broadcasting, and we can wait and see in the future, after all, the lineup of this drama is very strong, the director is Wong Kar-wai, and the starring roles are Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, all heavyweights.
In addition, the play also has You Benchang, Zheng Kai, Chen Long, Wu Yue, Fan Xiangyan, Wang Ju, Papi sauce, Wen Zhaolun, etc., which can be described as an all-star lineup.
As far as the plot of the first 4 episodes is concerned, at the beginning, the male protagonist Bao Zong suffered a car accident, and then the picture turned, and the time went back to 1987, telling how he changed from Bao to Bao under the guidance of his noble uncle.
Then, the story goes back to the present, Mr. Bao woke up from the hospital, knew the cause of the car accident, and explained his grievances with the Kirin Society.
At the same time, Mr. Bao had contacts with Reiko, the boss of Night Tokyo, and Miss Wang of the Foreign Trade Building. Then, the mysterious woman Li Li landed on the Yellow River Road and opened the Zhizhen Garden, and Mr. Wei appeared on the stage to grab business with Mr. Bao. I have to say that the first 4 episodes are quite rich in content and fast-paced.
Hu Ge's performance in the play is stable and relatively less controversial. The three actresses caused a lot of discussions, first of all, the heroine Ma Yili, she played Reiko, who is the boss of Night Tokyo and Po's partner, helped him a lot, and when Po was hospitalized in a car accident, it was Reiko who paid for him.
Reiko is very powerful, and when Po is in trouble, she always clears the way for him, and they are not only partners, but also confidants. Regarding the relationship between the two, Ma Yili said this, "dependent on each other, but independent of each other".
Hu Ge said that it was the relationship between Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, Lingzi was Sun Wukong, and Ah Bao was Zhu Bajie, and she killed demons for him.
Ma Yili's performance in the play is mediocre and decent, as the heroine, it seems that she does not have too many highlights at present, as always, she has short hair, and is said to be the head of the micro-business.
Ma Yili is a native of Shanghai, she speaks Shanghainese fluently, and her rivalry with Hu Ge looks more natural, but some people say that she acts like Luo Zijun in everything, and her acting skills have been questioned.
Miss Wang, played by Tang Yan, also has emotional entanglements with the male protagonist Bao, there is such a line in the play to describe Mr. Bao, "The left hand does foreign trade, the right hand ** ticket, the momentum can't be stopped", and Miss Wang works in the Foreign Trade Building, and the two have business dealings.
Not only that, Miss Wang has affection for Mr. Bao, he had a car accident, she was willing to gouge out her eyes and replace them, and when Mr. Wei robbed business, Miss Wang was the first to stand up and refute.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Miss Wang is also Mr. Bao's confidante and fully supports him. Tang Yan is very subversive in the play, she has long curly hair, dresses fashionably, sometimes wears glasses, and her appearance is quite suitable for urban white-collar workers.
Tang Yan's acting skills are full of controversy. She is always babbling in the play, I don't know if it's the character of the character, or it has something to do with her acting style, I feel that there is not much difference from the silly white sweet she played before.
After the premiere of "Flowers", Tang Yan's acting feedback was not very optimistic, some people in the comment area said that she was in the play, and some people said that she gave up the drama because of her.
In the end, it is Li Li played by Xin Zhilei, her identity is mysterious, as the boss of Zhizhenyuan, she puts her goal on Mr. Bao, but she can properly handle the relationship with Mr. Wei.
Xin Zhilei is the lowest among the leading actors, but she is also the most amazing, at the age of 37, she is the youngest of the leading actors, well-maintained, and can fully withstand all kinds of close-ups.
To tell the truth, in this drama, Xin Zhilei is quite surprising, first, her image is bright and moving, with all kinds of styles, under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, Xin Zhilei is so beautiful that she has a sense of luxury, she is very suitable for this kind of Hong Kong-style makeup, very charming.
The second is that her role is sensitive, unlike Lingzi and Miss Wang, who fully support Po, Li Li played by Xin Zhilei and Po are both collaborators and opponents.
Hu Ge once described the relationship between Ah Bao and Li Li as follows, "The sky and the sea, if they are separated from the sense of sight, seem to be very far away, but they also take care of each other."
Indeed, as he said, Li Li and Ah Bao have a kind of mirror character relationship, in the first 4 episodes, although the two have not officially met, but simply look at each other, you can know what the other party is thinking, and the limit of the double strong pulls the atmosphere.
After the show was broadcast, Xin Zhilei's role was very charming, and her acting skills were vivid and natural, so she received a lot of praise and praise.
However, although Xin Zhilei has been praised by many people, the reputation of the drama "Flowers" is polarized, some people say it is the texture of the movie, and some people think that the painting style is not like the nineties, but like the thirties, and some people think that it is not even as good as "Little Times", and there are a lot of bad reviews.
Objectively speaking, the first two episodes of "Flowers" are indeed a bit boring and bland, but the third episode will be more interesting at the beginning, and I look forward to the follow-up plot being more exciting.
