The TV series "Flowers" is about to enter the finale stage of its final two episodes. The plot of the next few episodes, including the past of the most mysterious woman in the play, Li Lee, and the identity and ending of the even more mysterious Mr. A, have finally been revealed.
In fact, Lee's real name is Chen Zhen, and she is the only female member of Mr. A's most powerful assistant in the past, "Arhat Eighteen", and she is also a student of Mr. A. and his lover.
In the past, Mr. A was a member of a group of self-confident returning international students, leading a number of international students, including Qiang Mujie (now Qiang Zong), to prepare for a large-scale operation. The private equity he personally created** attracted a large number of outstanding talents in its most glorious era. After the massive expansion of IPOs in Shenzhen, Mr. A failed to survive the market downturn due to excessive use of leverage, leaving behind a large amount of debt and all his hard work and hard work in vain.
Mr. Qiang once shared his experience in Shanghai with Reiko, both for work and revenge. He was twenty-two years old. Po is one of his main enemies.
In fact, when Mr. A, Qiang Mujie and others fell to the floor price, a large number of investors came to rush to buy, so this kind of people were nicknamed the "corpse collection team" in **.
The reason why Bao was able to emerge in Shanghai was precisely because he successfully acquired the vast majority of Mr. A's ultra-low prices, so he was known as "Mr. Bao."
That year, Mr. A faced not only the pressure of debt, but also the possibility of jail time, and Li Li (i.e. Chen Zhen) was also on the public security bureau's hunt list.
Mr. A assisted his lover with the forgery of her ID card and all the necessary formalities, and left her a large sum of money, telling her to get away from the hustle and bustle, let go of the past, and start a new chapter in her life.
After the two said goodbye warmly on the beach, Mr. A watched as Li Li boarded the vehicle, and then quickly turned and jumped into the deep sea.
In fact, Li Li did not leave. She sat in the car and watched her teacher and lover jump into the sea through the rearview mirror, and at that moment, Li Li completely collapsed, she screamed loudly, burst into tears, and curled up in a ball.
Since then, Chen Zhen has disappeared from this world without a trace, and has been replaced by a mysterious and beautiful woman named Li Lee.
After plastic surgery, Li Li (because the public security bureau personnel carefully compared Chen Zhen's ID card and the current Li Li, they did not find that they were the same person, which is enough to prove that Chen Zhen had plastic surgery) came to Shanghai, and acquired the Golden Phoenix and opened the Zhizhen Garden.
Initially, many people may have thought that there would be some kind of relationship between Li Li and Po, or rather, whether Li Li had developed feelings for the handsome Bao Zong.
In fact, Li Li has never really loved Po, and she does not have any vague feelings for Po, because in the depths of her heart, there is only the tragic scene of Mr. A and her lover jumping into the sea with her own eyes.
When it comes to handsome male protagonists and beautiful female protagonists, one always expects some kind of relationship between them. But according to Xin Zhilei, who plays Li Li, director Wong Kar-wai stipulated that during the filming process, Hu Ge and Xin Zhilei should not be too affectionate or blurry-eyed, and they can only discuss money and interests. What's worse is that even if Mr. Bao and Li Li walk together, Li Li must always keep his pace and always be ahead of Bao.
Judging from the lover setting in the play, Po is a personable, emotional and righteous man. In the face of such a high-quality man, it is likely that he will be attracted to the women he knows.
In episode 27, Po and Li Li unexpectedly meet again at the Xinlanju hot pot restaurant. After they had dinner together, they went to the bar for coffee. Then, the two drink together again, Po starts talking about Xuezhi's death, and Li Li turns to Mr. A.
Li Li originally planned to increase her income through Po, but she still kindly told Po that you can opt out. However, Po is determined to take a gamble.
In the final moments of the breakup, Po reached out at the top of the stairs and re-established a relationship with Li Lee. Li Li suddenly turned around, and that action made the audience mistakenly believe that she must have wanted to kiss Po, but in fact she did not do so. Li Li was instantly moved, but she finally controlled her emotions.
Li Li did not have the slightest appreciation or emotion for Po in her heart, however, in her life, the only person she loved deeply was Mr. A.
Just like Po, the white moonlight in the deepest part of his heart will always belong to Xuezhi, his first love who was once far away from Hong Kong and finally died of illness.
Li Li came to Shanghai for three reasons: first, to escape capture, secondly, to find a place for ** wounds, and finally to earn money.
After an investigation by the Public Security Bureau, Li Li realized that he was at risk of being revealed. Therefore, she plans to make a lot of money with Po's help, and then leave again and fly farther.
In the plot of episode 28, the contest between Po and Mr. Qiang reached a climax. Bao borrowed 1200 million, plus the funds of himself and the fleet, the total amount reached 200 million, and he launched a fierce duel with Mr. Qiang, but in the end he suffered a defeat and everything came to naught!
Judging from the finale preview of the last two episodes, Mr. Bao did not reverse the defeat at the critical moment, he turned back into the Ah Bao who had nothing.
At this critical moment, Li Li chose to keep himself safe. She canceled the guarantee to Ah Bao and increased Zhizhenyuan's ** by 15%, and then sold it to Mr. Qiang, thus making a large profit.
Therefore, the relationship between Lee Lee and Po does not involve love, and their purpose is simply to earn money.
I'm really not sure if Li Li will be able to leave safely this time
Compared with Reiko's daily life and wit, Miss Wang's frankness and sluggishness, as well as Li Lee's intelligence, strategy, mysterious identity and powerful aura, make it elusive what she really thinks. There is always a noble, cold and unfathomable temperament on her face, which makes it difficult to grasp her true thoughts, but at the same time makes people want to know and get closer to her.
Regarding Li Lee's mysterious background, what kind of master she hides behind her, and where her huge wealth comes from, in fact, the plot gives clues through her grandfather at the beginning.
At that time, Zhizhenyuan had just started to open, and his grandfather and uncle told Bao that not long after Li Li arrived in Shanghai, he took out a deposit book of HSBC with 30 million running water.
It is for this reason that Uncle and Po began to suspect that Li Li might be a subordinate of Mr. A, and that he might have come to Shanghai to avenge them. But they did not dare to say anything to him. At that moment, they did not realize that Mr. A had passed away.
Once, Mr. Qiang asked Li Li which side you are more inclined to support, and Li Li replied, I will not stand between Ah Bao and Mr. Qiang, I will stand on Mr. A's side.
Mr. Strong tells you, but you have to know that Mr. A has passed away!
Li Li said that since he has passed away, I will also support him.
In other words, Lee Lee is replacing Mr. A and gradually realizing Mr. A's vision during his lifetime. She will live wholeheartedly for Mr. A and the one who has passed away in the days to come.
Wong Kar-wai, the director known as "detail control", has actually buried many subtle metaphors and hints for Li Lee's feelings and ending at the beginning of the story.
The two oil paintings hanging in Zhizhen Garden have appeared in people's eyes many times together with Li Li since the opening of Zhizhen Garden.
The stories behind these two oil paintings have long been revealed by many **. In my memory, it was still a spring. In fact, the two oil paintings hanging in Li Li's Zhizhen Garden were both by the late Chen Yifei, a well-known oil painter.
Chen Yifei, an oil painting artist in Shanghai, enjoyed a high reputation in the 90s, and one of his oil paintings sold about 1 million yuan that year. His works are also in the collections of many museums. In the painting "Flowers", two paintings hang in Zhizhenyuan, one of which is titled "Focus", and the other is "The Handmaid and the Bird" (also known as "Caged Woman", which is the fifth work) from Chen Yifei's "Old Dreams on the Sea" series.
It should be pointed out that the two oil paintings shown in the play "Flowers" are not imitations, but real works of art, which were borrowed by the crew from private collectors.
If you look closely, the faces of the women in these two paintings show a deep loneliness and contemplation, as if they are haunted by deep emotions.
In that painting, the woman is looking in front of the mirror to arrange her appearance, but suddenly stops, as if she is deep in thought, as if she misses the person she loves.
In the second painting, the woman has a delicate birdcage next to her, which symbolizes that she is like a bird trapped in a cage and cannot fly freely.
These two works of art not only reveal the wealthy social status of the owner of Zhizhenyuan, but also represent a symbol of Li Lee's emotional and life dilemmas.
From an emotional point of view, Li Li witnessed the person he loved dearly into the sea, but he was helpless, and his life could only remember the lost lover with nostalgia and sadness.
In Li Li's life journey, her external identity is not real, and she is often pursued by the public security organs. And deep down in her heart, her life path has lost the definition of joy and freedom, and she is no longer Chen Zhen, but has become Li Li, who is known as Mr. A.
Li Li, isn't it the double bondage of emotion and life?
Li Li, who seems to be indifferent on the surface, is actually full of cold inside. In the face of the prosperity of this life, Li Li's heart feels more lonely than fireworks.
Here, I have to praise the director Wong Kar-wai, who is really good at selecting and training actors. In his films, he can find his favorite characters. The Xin Zhilei he chose successfully interpreted this mysterious and cold, and at the same time lonely woman Li Li, which won high praise from everyone.
In the work "Flowers", Li Li successfully showed the best and A-level side of the actors. Xin Zhilei herself admitted that if it weren't for the intervention of director Wong Kar-wai, she might not even realize her beauty.
In the drama "Flowers", Li Li is a beautiful woman who is both powerful and full of pathos. Outside the play, actor Xin Zhilei will create a broader development space for the future film and television career by playing the unique and successful role of "Li Li".
