Recently, the period drama "Flowers" has aroused widespread heated discussions.
After its premiere, it quickly became a hit work that ranked first on the list, and it was undoubtedly the perfect ending of the "King Bomb" level production at the end of the year.
While vividly showing the prosperity of Shanghai in the 90s, this drama profoundly describes the changes in society and the ups and downs of people's lives at that time through the wonderful portrayal of group portraits.
In this turbulent era, "Flowers" presents a real and appropriate picture of Shanghai society for the audience with its rich content and excellent production.
At the beginning of "Flowers", the audience was able to witness various open and secret battles in the business competition.
Mr. Bao, Mr. Fan, Mr. Wei, Mr. Li and other social leaders competed fiercely for business.
As Wong Kar-wai's year-end drama, the drama strives to maximize the content, production and cast selection, and adopts the highest standards and quality assurance in many aspects.
Shanghai's bustling cityscape is presented to the audience in its original form, showing the rapid changes in society at that time and the situation of people who became rich overnight and fell in an instant.
The performance of the actors is one of the highlights of this drama. Whether they are old actors or powerful factions, they have created full character images and added vividness to the storytelling.
With his steady performance strength, the old drama bone You Benchang successfully showed the aura and charm of his uncle's role, and was even able to suppress Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge.
And Hu Ge transformed Mr. Bao from a young man to a respected big boss, showing the maturity and stability of the character who has struggled in the workplace for many years.
In addition, Ma Yili, Xin Zhilei and Tang Yan also injected different personalities and charms into the female boss roles in the play through their superb performances, adding a lot to the entire series.
However, among the many wonderful performances, Zheng Kai's Mr. Wei seemed slightly abrupt and insufficient. Whether it is appearance or performance, Mr. Wei did not show the temperament and strength he should have.
Compared with the performance of other actors, Mr. Wei's image seems a little out of tune, and even in some rival scenes, his performance is too exaggerated and not solid enough, and the gap with other actors in aura and acting skills is difficult to ignore.
To sum up, "Flowers" not only won the affirmation of the audience with its gorgeous visual presentation, colorful plot and superb performances, but also in terms of actors' performance, although most of the actors showed high-level performance strength, there were also some shortcomings, which affected the overall presentation of the work to a certain extent. I hope that future film and television works can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in the selection and performance of actors, create more perfect works, and bring more excitement to the audience.
