In the national drama market in 2023, who can best afford the title of "drama king"?
Presumably, many viewers will think that it is "Hurricane", which won many firsts after the broadcast, with an average of nearly 200 million in a single episode, and the data is far ahead, and it was beaten out of 880,000 peopleA high score of 5.
If it was before, I would think that "Hurricane" is the peak hit drama and the drama king of the year in 2023, but after "Flowers" was launched, there was suspense in the battle for the drama king.
"Flowers" landed on the central eight, just started broadcasting, and the peak ratings exceeded 26, you must know that the average rating of "Hurricane" is only 25. It is enough to see its heat.
Let's look at the evaluation again
"It's my blessing to be able to watch "Flowers" at the end of the year", "Beauty and texture coexist", "The plot rhythm is very fast, very attractive", "It's too top, the plot is interlocking", "It's the same charm and excitement as the original work".
Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" "cultivated" with ten years of painstaking efforts is really extraordinary.
"Flowers" is adapted from Jin Yucheng's long story of the same name**, the story revolves around Ah Bao (played by Hu Ge) by virtue of the spring breeze of reform and opening up and his own hard work, and successfully became the president of Bao, showing the love and sincerity of an era.
The adaptation of the TV series still continues the style of the original book, and the main line that runs through the whole drama is - human feelings and sophistication.
The beginning of the story was quite surprising to the audience, and the high-spirited Mr. Bao never imagined that as soon as he opened the car door, a taxi hit him from behind, and Mr. Bao was seriously injured.
All the stories also slowly unfolded from his memories.
It was 1987, Ah Bao personally came to the old master uncle (You Benchang) to ask for advice on foreign trade business, and with the help of his uncle, Ah Bao made money and registered a company with his uncle, and became the president of Bao.
Since then, many people have followed Bao**, and the person who drove into Mr. Bao was the son of Fagen (played by Cao Yi), who failed with Bao**, went bankrupt and finally committed suicide.
However, the culprit of the failure of the hair root ** is not Po.
At that time, the largest fleet of the Shanghai ** market, the Qilin Club, threw an olive branch to Bao, and used a ** to test Bao, telling him that it would rise sharply, and reminding him to keep the news and not spread it.
However, soon after, the shareholders got the gossip and frantically bought the **, and the root listened to the rumors to encourage relatives, all bought the **, did not listen to Bao's advice, and as a result, they lost all their money, and finally committed suicide in the taxi.
Ah Bao has become the ** who killed the hair roots, but the real ** is Commander Cai (Zhang Jianya) who once helped Ah Bao.
When the Qilin will test Bao, Commander Cai was also present and revealed the news to his friend, the female boss of the Golden Phoenix, but it was rumored that she and Ah Bao were in love, and the words that came out of her mouth were of course credible.
In this way, Ah Bao became the one who carried the black pot for Commander Cai.
Bao also knew that Commander Cai was the one who spread the news, but Bao was able to successfully enter the ranks of big investors thanks to Commander Cai's kick into the door of the stock exchange.
Ah Bao confessed this incident in vain, and he returned the favor to Commander Cai.
At the beginning of the plot, Mr. Bao was seriously injured in a car accident, and many characters appeared one after another, and the feature film started from his memories.
In the first episode alone, there are multiple narratives, flashbacks, and interludes, as well as different stories from various eras, which always grasp the audience's thoughts.
If you don't pay attention to it, you will miss a lot of details, worthy of Wong Kar-wai, who made the TV series into a movie.
All the members are acting and perfectly shaping the characters.
Although the story of "Flowers" revolves around the protagonist Bao, it is essentially a group drama of the times, and the most important thing in the group drama is the acting skills of the actors.
Fortunately, the actors in "Flowers" are all powerful.
The first place, Hu Ge.
Hu Ge plays Ah Bao, and he vigorously grasps the characteristics of the characters in different periods.
He is a high-spirited, hot-blooded young man Ah Bao in the market, even if he is wearing a suit, he can't cover the youthfulness on his body, and there is a trace of recklessness in his gestures.
He is also a high-spirited and noble Mr. Bao, and even his back has the spirit of a business hero, but at this time, he has a little more calmness in his eyes to see all the world.
The youthfulness of his youth and the maturity after being proud were all interpreted by Hu Ge very well, and the Ah Bao he played was like coming out of a book.
Not surprisingly, Ah Bao will be Hu Ge's classic role on the screen again, and Hu Ge is right again.
second place, Ma Yili.
Ma Yili played a Shanghai woman, there was no pressure, when she opened her mouth, the fluent Shanghainese dialect came out, half of the character was already standing, and the other half was enough to act casually.
In the play, she plays Reiko, the proprietress of Night Tokyo.
As soon as he appeared, he greeted the guests with a smile on his face, but when he was free, he was ready to take a sip of wine and rest for a while, and slowly brought the wine to his mouth, and when he heard that the guests were leaving, he hurriedly poured a big sip and got up to leave, and the transformation of elegance and reality was only in a moment.
Ma Yili's performance is very natural, and the down-to-earth feeling she feels when she discusses jewelry and men with her friends, and the look in her eyes when she hears that her family business is booming, is simply not too real.
What she played is what most people look like as a Shanghai woman.
third place, Xin Zhilei.
Even though there are many actresses such as Ma Yili and Tang Yan in the play, Li Li played by Xin Zhilei is definitely the most outstanding female character in the previous episodes.
She is wearing a black backless long skirt with a variety of styles, she looks ** and mysterious under the camera, her eyes are meaningful, and it is unpredictable to understand her thoughts, which just fits Li Li's personality.
Li Li purposefully exerted pressure on the customers in the store, her face was cold, with a powerful aura, which made people unconsciously follow her rhythm.
Xin Zhilei eats the characters thoroughly, making people believe that she is Li Li in the play.
It is worth mentioning that the joining of many powerful actors such as You Benchang, Tang Yan, Zheng Kai, Dong Yong and so on in the play makes this group drama more brilliant and fascinating.
Conclusion:
Wong Kar-wai's work is always full of beauty and depth.
"Flowers" has a sense of luxury, with a strong "Wong Kar-wai" style, the overall tone is a medium and elegant and delicate gold, which makes people dream back to the nineties in a second, neon flashes, both the prosperity of Shanghai Tang, and hazy and ambiguous.
Wong Kar-wai's lens language is delicate and emotional, and the well-polished images and light and shadow are used to immerse the audience in a real and dreamlike world.
In addition, Hu Ge, Ma Yili and other acting schools that are recognized by the audience and industry insiders have joined, as well as their accurate control of the emotional changes of the characters, allowing the audience to witness the changes of an era with their changes.
All in all, "Flowers" is worth watching.
A good drama that has been watched n times
