The TV drama circle is approaching the end of the year, and we have to hurry up to sprint for "performance", so "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" went crazy directly. However, "Shen Yin" is majestic at the beginning, but the end is like a ** person, so it is difficult for the audience to stick to it.
There is nothing to expect from costume dramas, but there are quite a lot of new works in the TV drama circle. CCTV's "Thrush" may not be realistic enough, but the evaluation is decent. However, "Singing Dragon Boy" and the obedient "Flowers" don't seem to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of connecting the previous and the next.
Therefore, "Flowers" is about to be broadcast, can it open up a new way in this "sea of dramas"?Looking at all the eye-catching hype it had before, even "Life as First Seen" was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. These two mysterious dramas were actually "revealed" on the same day.
In fact, it may be good for the snipe and clam to compete with each other, and maybe they can make some flowers.
In this fierce "scramble", the real benefits are actually the audiences in the "drama famine"!The main creative team of "Flowers" can be said to be the most unique in the history of TV dramas, especially the joining of director Wong Kar-wai, which makes this TV series highly anticipated.
The experienced creative team of the film roadshow tried the TV series roadshow for the first time, which is a novel attempt in the industry. Interestingly, they adopted a "guerrilla" approach, conducting roadshows in three locations. While this strategy seems to be accepted, it is not. The heroes and heroines Hu Ge and Ma Yili seemed to have agreed in advance, and they did not participate in any of the three roadshows, but "Green Leaf" Tang Yan and Xin Zhilei came forward, which brought a lot of surprises to the team.
At the two roadshows in Beijing and Shanghai, Tang Yan attracted a lot of attention to "Flowers" with her personal charm and added a lot of color to the team. And Xin Zhilei chose to appear at the roadshow in Shenzhen, adding a unique style to "Flowers". This eclectic roadshow method has further heated up the audience's attention to this TV series.
So, why do viewers have high hopes for this TV series?One of the reasons is that the director of this drama is the famous Wong Kar-wai!If you have heard of Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, then Wong Kar-wai's name is certainly not unfamiliar. This TV series is actually Wong Kar-wai's "hard goods" that only appeared on the screen six years after precipitation!This sparked the audience's curiosity even more, and the expectations continued to rise.
The name Wong Kar-wai sounds appealing, but after watching his film, the audience received mixed reviews. Some picky people feel that the taste of Shanghai is a little "wrong" under Wong Kar-wai's lens, and perhaps it is more appropriate to set the story in Hong Kong. In addition, the audience also raised some criticism of the "dialect" interpretation of the characters in the film, because the characters speak Mandarin and Shanghainese.
Not only that, Wong Kar-wai is regarded as a representative of the "literary style", and it seems to be commonplace to promote the development of the story through narration. But some viewers feel that his films are between "petty bourgeoisie" and "period dramas", and there is an insurmountable gap between the two. Because general period dramas focus on real emotions and realism, Wong Kar-wai's style has an "ethereal" feeling. As a result, the mix of the two styles can feel a bit elusive.
In fact, in addition to the "painting style" of the movie that does not meet the taste, Wong Kar-wai's selection of actors has also been questioned. Although Hu Ge used to be a "national male god", after a series of events, his popularity has changed a lot. And Ma Yili, who has always kept a low profile, is more like a "little transparent" in the entertainment industry. In addition, Tang Yan, who plays a supporting actress, is the least noticeable one of the post-85 Hua Dan. Not only is her work not brilliant enough, but even the traffic among the new actors in the future is not as good as others.
Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" has been polished for 6 years, so is it useless?In fact, as a top figure among directors, he definitely has something extraordinary. Especially the TV series he directed, the texture is comparable to that of movies. From capturing light and shadow to creating atmosphere, Wong Kar-wai has always been at ease. Although the story is set in the 60s, this sense of "realism" is something that contemporary cinema lacks.
His TV series is really ingenious!You can feel the feelings of the era at a glance, which resonates with the audience.
What's even more interesting is that Wong Kar-wai is good at telling stories in a documentary way, and "Flowers" is no exception. The atmosphere of fireworks permeates almost every frame of the whole work, presenting a "god" level texture, which is breathtaking. If you want to find a TV series comparable to it, I'm afraid you have to go back to "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Each shot is meticulously crafted by Wong Kar-wai, and the degree of attraction becomes more and more fascinating. He brings out the beauty of light and shadow to the fullest, which can be called insurpassed.
Moreover, the framing of "Flowers" is quite exciting, and a single frame can be used as a beautiful wallpaper. No wonder knowledgeable netizens have commented: In terms of aesthetics, Wong Kar-wai will always be a reliable choice.
Regarding the fact that "Flowers" has become Wong Kar-wai's "pearl in the palm", for the actor Hu Ge, it can also be said to be "love the house and Wu". In fact, he not only showed the publicity of "seeing all the Chang'an flowers in one day" when he was young, but even the vicissitudes and calmness of his middle age were vividly interpreted by him.
When Hu Ge walked out with those long legs, even the sun was eclipsed, it was simply a moving scenery. Although he is already in his prime, he can perfectly blend the stability of middle age and the rebellion of youth, which can be called a perfect presentation. The strong alliance with Wong Kar-wai makes the whole work more vibrant.
In the eyes of the audience, he standing there simply makes people feel the beauty of "silence is better than sound at this time". Whether "Flowers" can become a "connecting the past" in the film industry is actually still unknown. As an audience, while enjoying the laughter in the play, you can also understand some behind-the-scenes "doorways", which makes this drama even more worth chasing.
Despite Wong Kar-wai's strong support, although "Flowers" has a guarantee, it is still an unsolved mystery whether the actors can perform well on the 27th. Among these "New Year's Eve masterpieces", which one do you like the most?Feel free to share your choices in the comment section!
