In this wave of 1v4 "big heroine" dramas, "Sauvignon Blanc" led everyone to succeed.
Flowers" will lead everyone back to Shanghai at night to experience the 1v3 "Big Male Protagonist CP Buffet".
It took director Wong Kar-wai ten years to finally launch his business war drama "Flowers" on December 27.
The director and starring lineup of this drama, even if you don't understand the plot, make people look forward to it very much.
This drama has lived up to the expectations of the audience, and its broadcast directly surpassed the popularity of the drama version of "The Three Teams".
Moreover, although it is still firmly at the top of the platform's hot search list, there has been a polarization of film reviews.
Set in Shanghai in the 90s of the last century, the story tells the story of Ah Bao (played by Hu Ge) who gradually grows from an obscure ordinary person to a prominent figure in the business world, during which he meets several friends who share his troubles.
The magic of this drama is that it successfully interprets all the extremely complex elements of the original book, and proves the truth of the saying that shopping malls are like battlefields through practical actions.
Every time the plot is **, you can feel its intensity as thrilling as a martial arts movie.
The story begins with a 1992 Shanghai Chinese New Year's Eve, where Po was trading with people on the street, holding a full 300,000 banknote box and preparing to leave, but was knocked unconscious by a car that suddenly rushed out.
A long-awaited "rain of money" suddenly came, and at the same time smashed open the box full of banknotes.
The apathy and greed of the people at that time were on full display at this moment, they were all busy picking up money, and no one wanted to look at Po on the ground.
After the incident, the police launched an investigation into the people around Bao, and with the appearance of Uncle You Benchang, Bao's life experience and the reasons for this incident gradually surfaced in front of people, presenting a flashback plot.
Five years ago, when Ah Bao was still unable to achieve anything, he found his uncle (played by You Benchang) and wanted to ask him about business. But he is not equipped with everything, only inexperienced, penniless, and belongs to the "grassroots" group.
Therefore, the uncle laughed at him as if he was listening to a joke, and he didn't know the height of the sky. So, my uncle asked: If he wants to borrow 100 yuan to do business, after deducting the interest, how much will he have to earn to maintain his business?
Po had no experience and gave the wrong answer without thinking, obviously annoying the other party and trying to drive him away. However, Ah Bao said that he wanted to engage in foreign trade, and getting rich by borrowing was his main plan.
However, at that time, the foreign trade industry was not very popular, because the risks were too high. So, Uncle gave Po a new problem, asking him to rent a satisfactory room at the Peace Hotel by noon the next day, to prove that his determination to learn to do business was not empty talk.
Subsequently, he made requests to Po one after another. It was during this process that Po realized that engaging in foreign trade was not as simple as he imagined, but a challenge that required courage and taking risks.
Since then, Po has become the boss of the suit and leather shoes under the guidance of his uncle, and although this seems to be developing a bit quickly, this is exactly the characteristic of director Wong Kar-wai's shooting style, which advances the plot quickly and accurately.
In less than half an hour, everyone understood Bao's initial situation. Subsequently, Uncle also revealed that the person who plotted against Ah Bao was from the Qilin Society, and it turned out that Mr. Bao had already had a very in-depth study on ** at that time.
Therefore, the major shareholders of the Kirin Club noticed this and wanted to have a confrontation with Mr. Bao. They even directly proposed a ** that must rise to Mr. Bao, but people with a discerning eye know that this matter is not easy, so they are not ready to follow up on that **.
However, when Uncle Gen said this, his subordinates heard it, and the news leaked out. Because Uncle Gen blindly followed the trend of investment and finally suffered huge losses, he couldn't accept such an ending, so he chose to commit suicide on the spot.
Mr. Bao still misses friendship and hopes to take over the business. However, he was subjected to unknown revenge from Uncle Gen's son, and this experience made Mr. Bao once again deeply understand the cruelty of the mall, and realized that danger often comes inadvertently.
The person who participated in the Qilin Society is also well versed in human greed, and if Mr. Bao follows him, he will definitely suffer;But if you don't follow, your subordinates may not be as vigilant as Mr. Bao, so they are likely to be punished for greed, which will give Mr. Bao some inspiration.
With the successive appearance of each character, the plot has gradually become exciting, and unexpectedly, Hu Ge, who has not had a suitable CP in film and television dramas, directly sparked with three pairs of CPs in this drama, one of which is a fierce duel with a strong opponent Li Li (played by Xin Zhilei).
He dotes on his confidante Miss Wang.
Reiko, a business partner and happy enemy, is either arguing or planning how to quarrel every time they meet. Although they always quarrel, they will not hesitate to lend a helping hand when the other person is in trouble.
Their appearance adds a touch of seasoning to the business war drama, making the plot no longer monotonous and boring, and at the same time, these scenes are also wonderful, and every frame vividly shows the lively and prosperous scene of Shanghai at night.
When I saw Tang Yan and Hu Ge in the play, I was not particularly excited;But when I found out that Xin Zhilei and Ma Yili also starred in it, I was a little surprised.
When I saw that it was Uncle You Benchang, I was really shocked, I didn't expect the 90-year-old "Jigong" to appear on the film and television stage again, and it was still in a business war drama.
The veteran actor's superb acting skills are breathtaking, and when he played this role, the deepest impression he left was that he was natural and smooth, whether it was the lines or subtle expressions, it was handled just right.
With the passage of time, Hu Ge gradually changed from the original willful "Li Xiaoyao" to a calm and calm Mr. Bao.
The performance of the other three actresses is self-evident, Tang Yan's role change especially made the audience's eyes shine, she finally got rid of her usual silly white sweet idol image and became a powerful actor.
Xin Zhilei has become an opponent with the same strength as Mr. Bao, she shows a proper strong woman style, her appearance and acting skills coexist, and her charming atmosphere is really irresistible.
There is another actor Dong Yong who plays Mr. Fan in the play, who may have been ignored by the audience. His character characteristics are changing rapidly, and his emotions are also reversed, but under his superb acting skills, this character image is very prominent.
The most striking thing about this drama is that whether it is the leading role or the supporting role, they have created their own unique images, and combined with the setting of the historical background, so that the audience is very much looking forward to the fate of several main characters.
The potential of this drama really cannot be ignored, and it may become a "dark horse in film and television" in 2024, let's wait and see!Flowers
