One is "Flowers" with a big star, a big director, and a big production;One is the small-cost urban romance drama "I Know I Love You", which is broadcast on the same broadcast platform two days apart, but the ratings of the two works are very surprising.
"Flowers" is a new work launched by director Wong Kar-wai after 10 years after "The Grandmaster" in 2013. After three years of creation and polishing, the script was adapted from the award-winning works of Mao Dun Literature Award. The starring lineup of the play is luxurious, Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, Zheng Kai, etc. Hu Ge plays the male protagonist "Bao" in the play.
Before the launch of "Flowers", a rare publicity mode was opened. The leading actors of the offline ** and fan meetings were all present, and the platform big V actively promoted and built momentum. It seems that everyone is waiting for "Flowers" to explode when it starts broadcasting.
The premiere results of "Flowers" are very impressive. Only 10 minutes after the start of CCTV's eight broadcasts, the ratings broke 2. On the Weibo hot search list, related topic words account for 7. As the first platform for exclusive broadcasting on the whole network, Tencent directly gave a big topic, which was broadcast in two versions: Mandarin version and Shanghai dialect version, and all the homepages were recommended at the top, giving enough face.
There is also a key point, the broadcast platform can only be VIP from episode 1 onwards**. This gives people the illusion that "Flowers" is worth it, and it is a personal loss not to watch it.
The story of "Flowers" is set in the 90s of the last century, in Shanghai in the great changes of the times. tells the story of Ah Bao, played by Hu Ge, who experiences ups and downs in life in the turbulent business field. After the premiere, the two most discussed aspects by netizens were camera movement, composition, the beauty of the set, and the plot.
The camera movement, composition, color, soundtrack, set, props and trailer of "Flowers" are the same, which can be called cinematic, very Wong Kar-wai's style. If you appreciate "Flowers" from this angle, you will undoubtedly be impressed.
Every shot of Wong Kar-wai is a beautiful painting. The background of the story, psychedelic and moving, is full of opportunities in Shanghai, where a single light is intoxicating. The protagonists in the story also have their own charms.
The small boss in Shanghai played by Ma Yili has the taste of a little woman when she is coquettish, but she is shrewd and calculating. The owner of the big hotel played by Xin Zhilei is domineering. Wong Kar-wai really captured the beauty of Xin Zhilei.
In "Flowers", Tang Yan challenged herself and subverted her previous appearance. But she is still very beautiful under Wong Kar-wai's lens.
In short, after the premiere, netizens affirmed "Flowers", and the most mentioned was Wong Kar-wai's filming techniques, saying that he made the TV series very beautiful. Nothing else.
Netizens affirmed the filming technique, but questioned the plot. Many netizens said that they couldn't understand the plot.
It is obviously Shanghai Tang in the 90s of the last century, but it gives people a kind of **Shanghai, a long-term feeling. And the main plot line around Po is also not interesting. Ah Bao bravely broke through ** and became the president of Bao admired by everyone, but he suffered a car accident, who was harming him?This is where all the characters of the story unfold.
Netizens said that "Flowers" was filmed beautifully, and the story looks very advanced, but in fact it is a little out of the public. Once again, the audience saw the "rich gathering" in the TV series. Each character is different, but they all have a common hot spot, wealth.
This kind of person may encounter difficulties, just like Po was in a car accident, but they will "huddle together for warmth" and become richer later. The audience said that they couldn't understand the people who could turn the clouds and rain in **, and they couldn't empathize with their difficulties. There are also viewers who use "wild boars can't eat fine chaff" to ridicule themselves.
In this way, after the premiere of "Flowers", word-of-mouth was polarized. Some people say it's good, it's beautiful;Some people say they can't understand it. The next day, the ratings of "Flowers" dropped seriously.
Two days before the broadcast of "Flowers", Tencent also broadcast an urban romance drama "I Know I Love You". The play is starring Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi.
I know the heroine in "I Love You" promised that she would have a boyfriend, but the two have been in love for ten years without results. And in the course of these ten years, Xu Promise has been asking himself, what is love?If he hadn't met Zhao Jin, maybe he would have been questioning, wandering, and forbearing.
Zhao Jin is divorced and lives with his sick sister. thought that love would be far away from him, but Zhao Jin met the promise. The two originally calm hearts slowly drew closer. The original version of "I Know I Love You" is the Korean drama "Spring Night".
There is no doubt that "I Know I Love You" is a low-budget romantic drama. The two leading actors are somewhat hot, but they are not high. Zhang Wanyi has a lot of fans after "Sauvignon Blanc" became popular. But the mobility of drama fans is relatively large.
There was no announcement, and "I Know I Love You" was quietly launched. However, just one day after it was broadcast, the TV series had "tap water". Many netizens said that the TV series Amway was really a surprise on the Internet.
I Know I Love You" presents the emotions of mature men and women, pulling to the limit. There is excitement, depression, ambiguity, and helplessness. Every shot, every line, is full of emotion.
As a romantic drama, "I Know I Love You" goes straight to the point, and the plot is very fast-paced. Zhao Jin boldly confessed, but he would not force a promise. He loved the promise in his way. And the protagonist of his "male junior" is also very emotional. Of course, promising her boyfriend Peng Yu'an had already gone wrong. Zhao Jin's identity should be put in quotation marks.
The plot and rhythm are one thing, and the atmosphere of the TV series is amazing. The snow scene in the cold winter is synonymous with romance. Every time Zhao Jin and Xu promised to meet, under the backdrop of the "war song", it is heartwarming.
The bridal shop chases "passionately romantic, but also helpless." Zhao Jin and Xu Promise are always struggling and confused in reality. This is the true love of adults. is not an exaggeration, and it is the superlative place of "I Know I Love You".
Two works on the same platform, obviously "Flowers" is more "advanced" than "I Know I Love You", which can also be seen from the platform's publicity attitude. But I didn't expect that the low-cost romantic drama finally won word of mouth. "Tap water" is the foundation of word-of-mouth.
