Yang Ba's new drama "Flowers" was broadcast nine minutes after it was broadcast, and it made a shocking appearance with a rating of breaking 2, and 9 advertisements on the online platform set a record. This TV series features Wong Kar-wai's directing style and brings the audience a visual feast about the business war in Shanghai. However, in this flowery business war, there is an actor whose performance has attracted great attention, he is the 90-year-old veteran drama bone You Benchang, who played the role of uncle in the play, and became the focus of the audience's hearts with his superb acting skills.
The starting point of the story is the accidental car accident of Mr. Bao (Bao), and a suspenseful beginning is like laying an ingenious net for the audience. As my uncle said in the play: "Today's sun can't shine tomorrow's clothes." Such a trailer makes people can't help but look forward to the development of the story.
Bao's life has gone from ordinary to legendary, thanks to his grandfather, a ** lake in the Shanghai Tan business sea. Uncle, under the interpretation of You Benchang, this character is lifelike and full of the style of Shanghai Tang. He is not only Bao's business mentor, but also a guide in life. In the business world, his teachings are as follows: "Wear a suit to be dressed, not to let people dress, to look at it from a distance and look close to see it look good, it is not good to walk and not to 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. These words expressed the true meaning of his uncle's business, and You Benchang interpreted these words vividly in his expression and eyes.
In the play, Uncle Ah Bao also became the first noble person in Ah Bao's life, and through a series of experiences, Ah Bao has become a powerful boss who "does foreign trade with his left hand and votes with his right hand". Ah Bao commented on his uncle: "If doing business is an art, this person is definitely an old mage." Such an evaluation also reflects You Benchang's excellent performance in the role of uncle from the side.
90-year-old You Benchang seems to have found a new space to play on the stage of this business sea like a battlefield. His acting skills have become more and more exquisite after the baptism of the years. Under his interpretation, Uncle Ye is not only a veteran of the business sea, but also a guide in Bao's life, and this role is easily transformed. In the eyes of the audience, You Benchang's performance not only makes people sigh at his acting skills, but also adds a lot to this TV series.
In addition to You Benchang's outstanding performance, the cast of the entire "Flowers" crew also brought surprises to the audience. Every actor shines, and the audience becomes the biggest winner. In particular, Hu Ge's performance in the play has attracted much attention, and his role as Ah Bao has emerged in the business world, and the master-apprentice relationship with You Benchang's uncle has also become a major highlight of the plot.
However, perhaps to the audience's surprise, this time the starring role of "Flowers" did not become the focus of the topic as before. On the contrary, the performance of the supporting role Uncle caused widespread heated discussions. This also makes people think of a point of view: when the supporting roles are too brilliant, can the leading actor go to soy sauce?
Under Wong Kar-wai's directing style, "Flowers" presents a high-end texture, and the unique "Wong Kar-wai style" makes the audience feel more intimate. From the monologues of the characters, the subtitles in white on a black background to the slow motion that is wrapped in **, and the foreground occlusion of the composition, these elements constitute the unique language of Wong Kar-wai's films. In the TV series, the presentation of this style is even more novel, making people feel as if they are wandering in a visual feast.
This time, Wong Kar-wai chose to show the audience the beauty of the fusion between TV series and movies through "Flowers". His precise use of the camera and his clever collocation of ** have added a lot to this drama. Especially in the process of presenting the business war in Shanghai, through Wong Kar-wai's directing technique, the whole story is more layered, allowing the audience to feel the fierceness and complexity of the business war more deeply.
In general, "Flowers" is not only a business war drama, but also a profound display of life and the friendship between master and apprentice. On this stage where the business sea is like a battlefield, the road of uncle and Bao's partnership is full of legends. 90-year-old You Benchang brings this business veteran to life through his superb acting skills, which has become the highlight of the entire plot. In the process of **, the audience seems to have discovered a new protagonist, and although Hu Ge's performance is also highly praised, in such a plot, his starring role seems to be overshadowed by the brilliance of the supporting role.
Perhaps, in the field of TV dramas, when the supporting roles are too outstanding, whether the leading actor can play soy sauce has become a question worth pondering. "Flowers" made the audience think more about this issue through the brilliance of the uncle. However, this is also Wong Kar-wai's usual style, daring to break with tradition and present the story from a unique perspective.
In the end, the audience became the biggest winner of "Flowers". They not only saw the excitement of the business war drama, but also saw the dazzling performance of an old drama bone in the play. This may be Wong Kar-wai's intention, he makes every actor in the entire crew shine and present a picture full of flowers.
In this business war, the prestige of the uncle spread again, and the 90-year-old You Benchang proved with his deep acting skills that he is still a bright star in the film and television industry. And "Flowers" showed the audience a real visual feast on the screen of Yangba with its unique storyline and superb cast. This time, Hu Ge may be able to put down the burden of the starring role and play a different soy sauce, so that more audiences can see the exciting supporting roles in the TV series.
