At the beginning of the broadcast of "Flowers", the audience was very concerned about the ratings performance of the show. Due to the special theme of the plot, and at the same time it is Wong Kar-wai's TV series, the previous broadcast level on CCTV 8 was relatively average, so there are some concerns about its ratings performance before the broadcast. However, just 9 minutes after the start of the broadcast, the show's real-time ratings broke through 2 and achieved 2The highest peak of 64, both averages reached 1With an astonishing result of 99, such a start can be described as quite hot. The ratings of "Flowers" have been stable since its launch, and as long as it can maintain this level in the later stage, it will undoubtedly become a very successful work.
It is worth mentioning that under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, Hu Ge pushed his performance level to a new height. Every shot is enough to become a wallpaper, and his image is praised as having the temperament of George Clooney. Hu Ge in the play is cool and accented, and with Wong Kar-wai's talent, he managed to create a handsome and attractive image at the age of 40. As the first TV series directed by Wong Kar-wai, "Flowers" not only shows a unique charm in light, shadow and texture, but also makes people shine in every shot. At the same time, the plot of the show is also considered to have depth and epochal significance, far exceeding people's expectations. This is reflected in the arrangement of the plot, the drama unfolds in flashbacks, and the background and character relationships are explained in detail through a car accident, taking into account the rhythm and IQ logic, becoming a work that has both a gripping plot, depth and epochal significance.
"Flowers" reveals the fortune history of the protagonist Po and the fate of the backstabber through flashbacks. Ah Bao originally had nothing, but under the guidance of his uncle, he borrowed money from his good brother Tao Tao and earned the first pot of gold through ** tickets. After going through a series of trials, the uncle decided to work with him, the first step was to change his image to make him look more stylish, and the second step was to set up a company. In the following years, Ah Bao did foreign trade with his left hand and ** ticket with his right hand, and finally became a famous figure on the Yellow River Road. However, during the development of the plot, Po suffers a car accident that breaks the apparent peace. Through this car accident, the plot unfolds further, revealing the truth about who hit him and why he was hit. The story also involves Bao's good brother Tao Tao, Lingzi who co-opened a restaurant, Miss Wang, who has a working relationship with him, and shareholders who are ** together. The appearance of these characters makes the plot even more confusing, who is sincere to Po, who is fake, and the conspiracy behind it surfaced one by one, which also became the most interesting point in the first episode.
In the second episode, Po is lucky to escape from a car accident, and the plot begins to reveal the truth. Bao's car accident was related to 414**, and because someone leaked the news, a large number of shareholders bought this **, which led to the eventual bankruptcy. Among them, the biggest loss was a shareholder named Fa Gen, who invested more than 20 million yuan, of which several million were his own investments, and the rest came from relatives and friends. Faced with a huge loss, he fell into despair and even had suicidal thoughts. In the process, his son accidentally bumped into Po after drinking. And the person who leaked the secret turned out to be Bao's very trusted friend, who revealed the information to the proprietress of Golden Phoenix, and she also leaked the news. In the end, he put all the blame on Po, although Po didn't do anything, but the shareholders and Fagen's family blamed him for all the blame, making him a backbiter.
In addition, the plot also involves the contradiction between the Kirin Club related to 414** and Li Li, the proprietress of Zhizhenyuan. The Kirin Club was one of the biggest forces in Shanghai at the time, and Li Li of "Flowers" took over the hotel after the collapse of Golden Phoenix, and in order to keep the surface busy, she has been inquiring about Bao's whereabouts. Whether it is in the play or under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, Xin Zhilei is breathtakingly beautiful, and there is no shot that is not good-looking. Reiko, played by Ma Yili, is the proprietress of a Tokyo bar at night, she is smart and witty, good at dealing with various situations, and has an extraordinary relationship with Po, but it is not a couple. The Lingzi she plays has a strong Shanghai woman charm, her acting skills are very outstanding, and she naturally shows the characteristics of the character. Miss Wang, played by Tang Yan, is a sales employee of a foreign trade company, and her relationship with Ah Bao is more like a family member than a couple. The friendship between them is deep, and Po is willing to fight others for her. The audience also gave high praise to Tang Yan's performance, especially the Shanghainese line performance, which completely broke through her previous shortcomings, the lines were very natural and smooth, the voice was no longer sharp, and the progress of the image and role was surprising.
In short, after the broadcast of "Flowers", it was well received by the audience. The outstanding performances of actors such as Hu Ge, Xin Zhilei, Ma Yili and Tang Yan, as well as Wong Kar-wai's talented directing ability, make the show excellent in terms of plot, plot details, character portrayal and visual presentation. Although the plot is complex, gripping, and requires in-depth understanding and analysis, it is this delicate plot and character relationships that make the audience look forward to the show very much. Whether he likes to hit Po's car with the son of one of the injured stockholders, Hair Root, and the fate of the backstabber man is also beginning to surface. It turned out that Li Li, the proprietress of Golden Phoenix, was behind the scenes of controlling everything, and she leaked the news of 414** to her friends, causing shareholders to suffer heavy losses. And Ah Bao didn't know that the role of the back-handed man was pushed to the front of the stage and became the target of criticism from shareholders.
"Flowers" is set in Shanghai and reproduces Shanghai in the 80s of the 20th century, and Shanghai's old streets and alleys and retro style have become a major feature of the play. In the play, Hu Ge and the other actors wore old-fashioned costumes and performed the trendy style of that era. At the same time, many scenes also present the unique charm of Shanghai's old streets and alleys, such as the old telephone poles, old-fashioned shops and shikumen buildings on the streets of Shanghai. The reproduction of these scenes makes the audience feel as if they have returned to Shanghai in the 80s of the last century and feel the atmosphere of that era.
In addition to the street scenes, the play also reproduces the fashion and life scenes of the time through details such as costumes and props. For example, Hu Ge often wears a retro-style suit and a bright tie in the play, which can be said to be an excellent image of a Shanghainese guy. At the same time, some of the props in the play are also very retro, such as old-fashioned **, smoke machines, etc., all show the life of the 80s of the last century.
The plot and visual style of Blossom have many similarities with Wong Kar-wai's filmography. First of all, the plot of the play is very complex, full of suspense and reversal, and like Wong Kar-wai's filmography, it is full of poetry and unique rhythms. Secondly, Wong Kar-wai is good at using light and shadow and artistic composition to give people a different kind of beauty. In "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai uses a lot of close-ups and close-ups to show the actors' facial expressions, movements and other details vividly, so that the audience can better understand the inner world of the characters. In addition, Wong Kar-wai is good at using ** to set off the atmosphere and give people resonance. In "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai also used some soundtracks to make the audience feel the emotion of the story better.
In addition to the wonderful performances of Hu Ge and Xin Zhilei, Ma Yili in "Flowers" is also a highlight. She plays Reiko, the proprietress of a night Tokyo bar, who has a special relationship with Po. Ma Yili created a strong and intelligent female image in the play, she not only performed naturally, but also delicately and nuancedly, making people fully engaged in the role. Ma Yili's performance in the play has won unanimous praise from the audience, which shows her talent and acting skills.
The plot of "Flowers" is tight and exciting, and almost every episode has a lot of suspense and reversals. The relationships between the characters in the play are intricate, and each character has their own secrets and purposes, making the plot more complex and engaging. While the audience is ** plot, they also have a strong interest in the true face of each character. For example, is Ah Bao played by Hu Ge a lucky person or a backstabber?What is the purpose and secret of Li Li played by Xin Zhilei?These questions will be gradually revealed in the play, bringing more surprises and expectations to the audience.
In short, "Flowers" has become the focus of the audience's attention with its explosive start, the fate of the backstabber, the old streets and alleys of Shanghai and the retro style, and Ma Yili's outstanding performance. And the confusion of the plot development and the relationship between the characters attracts the audience to explore the truth of the story together. I believe that with the deepening of the plot, the show will bring more surprises and shocks to the audience.
