Wong Kar-wai's first TV series "Flowers" has officially started!
"Flowers" can be described as menacing, the ratings of Kuyun broke 2 in real time in the first nine minutes of broadcasting, and 9 advertisements on the online platform set a record.
The lens aesthetics that belong to Wong Kar-wai are highly praised by the public, and the texture is full.
Obviously, the small screen is no longer enough to highlight Wong Kar-wai's lens aesthetics, but the high-end texture is fascinating.
The unique "Wong Kar-wai style" makes people feel more intimate.
From the monologue of the characters, the subtitles of white on a black background to the slow motion that is coerced by **, the foreground occlusion of the composition, and the blurred and ambiguous light and shadow, make the show unique and refreshing in today's drama market.
Under the elegant and delicate tones, there are not only the neon flashes of the streets of Shanghai, but also the ordinary fireworks in the streets and alleys, which are drunk and vibrant, reflecting the vigor and prosperity of Shanghai in the 90s, as well as the hazy and ambiguous texture.
Of course, this "Flowers" naturally cannot be completely equated with the original work**, whether it is the content presented in the premiere or the clear indication given to us at the end of the film, it is destined that this is a unique Wong Kar-wai version of "Flowers".
At the end of the film, it is indicated that it is adapted from Jin Yucheng's "Mao Dun Literature Award" award-winning feature of the same name**.
But it was also notedPart of the content of this play comes from "Shanghai Fu", "Savage Growth", "Red Men and Green Women in *" and "Joys and Sorrows in **", all of which have been agreed by the author or publisher. ”
Therefore, we will see the uniqueness of the drama version of "Flowers".
The drama version of "Flowers" does not start with history, but directly attracts the audience through a suspense.
The accident of Mr. Bao at the beginning, and then the reverse order of memories to unfold the plot, and then return to the present and open the main line. The non-linear narrative, the main narrative, flashback, and interlude can be described as natural, and the audience will miss the important plot if they are not careful.
So be sure to keep your eyes glued to the screen and keep your eyes open.
Starting from the suspense, and then outlining Bao's family history, followed by the business war on the main topic, the contest between the three forces can be described as wonderful.
After four episodes were broadcast, various characters appeared one after another, and the plot story was full of twists and turns.
For Bao, from an ordinary civilian to a big name in the business world, he is naturally inseparable from his uncle, who is not only a teacher and guide in the business field, but also a life mentor.
Just as Po commented on his uncle,"If business is an art, this man is definitely an old mage. ”
As the first noble person in Bao's life, his uncle has experienced strong winds and waves, and has also been in prison, but when it comes to business, he is definitely a man of the year in Shanghai.
Po, undoubtedly found the right person.
In Bao's view, "business is to buy and sell, and seek profit", but for my uncle, it is not so simple.
"When Shanghai people do business, they pay attention to style, gimmicks, and signs. This little bit of lineup is all your style, this private room is your gimmick, people run a leather bag company, and you are the same, but your leather bag is bigger than others, Peace Hotel. ”
The words revealed the true meaning of my uncle's business.
And Uncle also built Ah Bao according to such a formula, so that he became a powerful boss of "foreign trade with his left hand and ** ticket with his right hand" in a short period of time.
In terms of the line alone, my uncle strives for excellence.
"Wear a suit to be dressed, not to let people dress, to look far and close, to see that it looks good, it doesn't look good when you walk, it doesn't work. The shirt should be ironed and worn to be scraped enough, and the shoehorn should be used before wearing shoes, and it is better to have lame clothes, and leather shoes should be particular no matter what. Visitors must be fully dressed, cigarette boxes, lighters, wallets, and be generous. ”
After a panache, Po can be described as a living person.
Looking at Ah Bao in front of him, his uncle also had tears in his eyes.
Perhaps from Ah Bao's body, he saw himself back then, and he was also full of ambition and high spirits, although he had long been a man and a person, but he was full of strength.
This time, he is going to fight Shanghai Tang again with Po.
"Today's sun can't shine tomorrow's clothes. ”
"Time is everything. ”
Uncle has always valued time, after all, for businessmen, time is money.
And when it comes to money, my uncle's judgment about the wallet is even more convincing.
"How many purses should a man have, three. The first is how much money you actually have, the second is your credit, how much money you can mobilize in people's wallets, and the third is how much money people think you have. ”
Uncle, this role was completely brought to life by the old drama bone You Benchang.
You might not expect it, but he's 90 years old.
Even so, on the screen, it still brings people vitality and enthusiasm, and every expression and line hits people's hearts.
That aura is intimidating, and that look is moving.
The 90-year-old drama bone You Benchang undoubtedly played the role of his uncle, which is amazing again!
For You Benchang, what impressed him the most was the living Buddha Jigong in the "Jigong" series, who left a classic character image on the screen with his witty and interesting performance.
Whenever the song of "shoes are broken, hats are broken, there is no injustice, there is me", the image of Jigong, who is wearing a torn monk's robe and cranked a broken pu fan, looks crazy and crazy, but is actually a stunt, will immediately appear in the minds of many people.
Of course, he is not only the actor of Jigong, but also one of the directors of this series of dramas.
Before that, he also starred in the TV series "Kong Yiji".
Before officially becoming a film and television actor, he was a drama actor for more than 20 years.
In recent years, despite his advanced age, he has not been idle, not only actively interacting with netizens on the short ** platform, but also starring in film and television works such as "Thank You Doctor" and "Youth Song Xing".
He has already become a symbolic artist!
Now, he once again plays such a key role as his uncle in Wong Kar-wai's premiere TV series "Flowers", such as the existence of "Dinghai Shen Needle", that aura, that temperament, accurate grasping, perfect presentation!
This time, the 90-year-old You Benchang has taught people a good lesson, and of course, it is even more admirable!
