"The heart of a child is always there, people don't make a sound, God knows. With Mr. Bao's last words in a land of hope, this cluster of flowers finally bloomed in the night sky. All the promises, when the fireworks disperse, are drifting away with the wind, but the friendship behind the agreement is like the 500-meter-wide Huangpu River, which flows non-stop.
The TV series "Flowers" ushered in the finale, Wong Kar-wai not only favored the protagonists on the Yellow River Road, he also tried his best to set his eyes on every once moving little person in the play, everyone has a beginning and an end.

Since its launch on December 27, 2023, "Flowers" has triggered new topics every day, and on the day of the broadcast, the ratings broke 2 in just 10 minutes after the start of the broadcast on CCTV 8. On the Weibo hot search list, related topic words accounted for 7, and ended on January 9, the drama almost dominated the hot search, at least 10 hot search words appeared, from the supporting role to the protagonist, they all gained their own topics, and the popularity value of Tencent station also exceeded 31000.
On January 7, the popularity value of "Flowers" on Tencent** station exceeded 31,000.
Although Mr. Bao, Li Li, Miss Wang, Lingzi, and Uncle .........There are unsatisfactory points, but what is even more commendable about "Flowers" is that this drama not only has a protagonist line that makes people cry and laugh, but also those supporting roles in the play also affect the hearts of the audience at all times, they may not have many shots in the play, but everyone is lifelike, has their own unique personality, and has their own life story, Mei Ping, Master Fan, Jin Hua, Lu Meilin, Ling Hong, Teacher Ge, Little Sister-in-law, Ruth, Minmin, Xiao Jiangxi, Manager Pan, Jing Xiu, ......Even the grandchildren who drove the elevator at the Peace Hotel were noticed by the audience. They can be followed because the series gives them real vitality, rather than just being like an NPC that serves the protagonist's life.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a vivid, life, and realistic drama everywhere, people pass by on the Yellow River Road, chat and drink on Jinxian Road, bargain on Guling Road, and live a real and vivid life, and the audience seems to have just spied on their lives, and is a passerby who passes them on the road.
When the series started, most of the audience's eyes were focused on the protagonist, but as the plot unfolded, the audience was gradually touched by the vivid supporting characters in addition to discussing the characters of the Yellow River Road, which is probably the unexpected feedback from the audience of "Flowers".
Although when Huanghe Road first met with the audience, some people questioned whether this was Shanghai in the 2020s or Shanghai in the 1990sImmediately, everyone also set off an archaeological tide, and many people took out the old **, proving that the Yellow River Road was so prosperous at that time. Today's Yellow River Road has become a must-visit check-in place for many audiences. And Xiandelai, Peace Hotel, and Shengtu Garden, including the delicacies therein, are all hotly discussed on the Internet. Almost all the actors in the play perform in Shanghainese, and they also express the regional characteristics and urban temperament in an all-round way. From food to restaurants to suits to roads to Shanghainese, "Flowers" has set off a wave of Shanghai craze.
On the closing night of January 9, Shanghai Film Group kicked off the closing red carpet at Shanghai Film City, and many audiences and fans came to watch the finale together. Everyone has their favorite characters from the show. Miss Wang's fans said that they wanted to see if she and Mr. Wei had any development possibilities, and also praised the actor Tang Yan's performance in the foreign trade warehouse was particularly good. Ah Bao's fans said that they hope Bao can always ride the wind and waves and not be discouraged.
Under the closing Weibo of the official Weibo of "Flowers", most of the netizens' comments were looking forward to the second season, "There will be a period later, Mr. Bao!."There is also a comment urging for changes, "When will the next film come, Mr. Bao said that integrity is the most important", I don't know if Director Wong Kar-wai, who is still cutting in the computer room at the moment, feels the pressure.
Mr. Bao's actor Hu Ge, Tao Tao's actor Chen Long, Xiaojiangxi's actor Wang Yi, and Stamp's Li actor Chen Guanning came to the theater on behalf of the entire "Flowers" crew.

When asked what a Shanghai man with a tone is, Hu Ge said, "Pay attention to the inside, not the face, your own image is hidden behind it, and the output content makes everyone have a very deep impression, this behavior is to have a tone." He also added that the tone is not unique to Shanghainese, "Except for Po, the actors, although they are not all Shanghainese, their roles are very eloquent." For example, Tao Tao, doing business, having brains, talking about credit, never lacking catties and short two, this is a tone. In Xiaojiangxi, the three sisters hugged their heads and cried, affectionate and righteous, which is also a kind of tone. ”
After a few years of Mr. Bao, Hu Ge said with a smile that he still can't tell what the key to a successful businessman is, but he believes that the good brother Tao Tao is a very good businessman, "What I see in Tao Tao is integrity, and many other methods we talk about are techniques, and the best is the Tao, no matter what business, integrity is always the first." Bao did meet a lot of nobles, most of them may not have Bao's luck, but when you feel that you haven't met a superior or noble person, you must know that they don't have to be individuals, they may also be a kind of faith, a kind of spirit. ”
Hu Ge added, in fact, Bao's story is only one of many stories, and it is also one of many successes, Bao has always succeeded, but he himself does not think that this can become a standard, "Bao's success is only success in his definition, but in fact this is not the only successful model, not necessarily everyone has to become Bao to be successful, everyone has their own success." ”
For example, Xiaojiangxi.
Although in the play, Xiao Jiangxi and her good sisters do not belong to the characters, but they work hard to live in their own world and find hope, and in the end, many viewers are also moved, especially the scene where the three sisters hug their heads and cry, Xiao Jiangxi actor Wang Yi choked up and said, "The three of us worked in the restaurant, and during that time to feel the life of the waiter, and friendship, I think the emotion between them is one word, true." Their emotions are real. And we have performed countless times, and I was very touched when I watched it, and I hope everyone can have the courage to be themselves. ”
Xiao Jiangxi is a supporting role, but maybe it is really as she said, work hard to be yourself and fight for yourself, maybe this is what Wong Kar-wai wants to say on this flowery road.
Whether it is in the play or in a live event, "Flowers" may be the most Shanghainese experience for Shanghai actors, and many Shanghai audiences should feel very cordial, and non-Shanghai audiences may find it novel. Hu Ge also admitted that since the beginning of his generation, he has promoted Mandarin in school, which has made Shanghainese decline to a certain extent, and he encourages everyone to speak Shanghainese and find back the taste in memory, "It's not because I have a unique dialect that I have a sense of superiority, you like to speak Shanghainese, because Shanghai is your hometown, Shanghai has a lot of memories of the smell, we like our hometown and dialect, and we hope that more friends can like Shanghai." ”
At the end of the show, the leading actors all wrote their feelings about the series and the characters on Weibo.
Hu Ge said, "On the day of filming Xuezhi's departure, the director sent me a paragraph: Meeting is a beginning, but leaving is to meet the next ...... leavingNeither of us is good at saying goodbye. At this moment, it may be 'not loudest'. ”

She is also the holder of Baowang CP, "Seeing the completion of the Oriental Pearl, Baowang missed it and burst into tears again." She is also as straightforward as Jin Meilin, "I love Shanghai so much!."I love flowers so much, my hometown!”

Wu Yue, who played Jinhua, sent out a short biography of some of Jinhua's characters in a long article that night, "Who is Jinhua", and sure enough, as she said when she attended the event earlier, the content is detailed, including personal habits, work and rest, family history and love ......Wu Yue wrote: "Take out some of it for you who like Jinke." Sharing is a kind of happiness. ”

Manager Pan, who reassured Li Li in the Zhizhen Garden, finally left the Yellow River Road. The actor Tong Chenjie wrote about his own growth on Weibo, and seemed to write about Manager Pan's bravery: "It took almost four years from the audition to the completion of the shooting, and I also went from my thirties to my early forties, but I don't know why I felt that my pace had become younger that day." Manager Pan walked out of the Yellow River Road, and he was not afraid of anything in the future......”

Before the finale, Wong Kar-wai was still editing the closing version of CCTV on January 10, and he said that he would "stand on the last shift". But the author, like the audience, hopes that this is not Wong Kar-wai's last shift in "Flowers", can we hurry up and see you soon.
At 0:00 on January 10, director Wong Kar-wai posted on Weibo to say goodbye to "Flowers": "Ten years in a flash, goodbye to the rivers and lakes." ”
