The light and shadow of "Flowers" have a unique Wong Kar-wai aesthetic and are fascinating
What was your first impression of Wong Kar Wai's films? You may think that the production cycle of his film is particularly long, so long that even the leading actor wants to escape, and I can't believe that the moment of completion is really coming, which is simply a perfect representative of slow work and meticulous work; You may also say that his movies are full of strong literary atmosphere, and every line has been carefully polished, and the excerpts can be shared directly on the ticket circle; You may also be fascinated by his unique aesthetic of light and shadow, where the atmosphere is enhanced by a variety of lights, and the characters have their own sense of story ...... in light and shadow
Although Wong Kar-wai's film works have many labels, his production is very small, which makes people not enjoy watching it. However, since the release of his first TV series "Flowers", we can finally feast our eyes on it, which perfectly shows the characteristics of Wong Kar-wai's films.
The filming period of this TV series lasted for three years, and the starring Xin Zhilei said in the official certification that she had completed it four times. She humorously mentioned that she also specially prepared flowers and cakes when she finished the first time, but by the second and third time, everyone had become accustomed to it, and the director didn't even look at her anymore.
In the end, she packed up her things and walked away. This kind of shooting rhythm is full of Wong Kar-wai's style.
In film and television production, the concept of slow work and meticulous work also applies. Director Wong Kar-wai spent three years carefully polishing the lens aesthetics in "In the Mood for Love", presenting a feast of light and shadow for the audience.
Especially for Li Li, the glamorous proprietress who fell for half of the Yellow River Road, director Wong Kar-wai is even more well-intentioned, using constantly flashing lens lights to intertwine with a full sense of layering, successfully highlighting the luxurious aura of Li Li's appearance, which is as eye-catching as a queen.
After appreciating the light and shadow effects of "Flowers", let's take a look at how Wong Kar-wai created these unique light and shadow effects. One of the techniques commonly used by Wong Kar-wai during filming was Rembrandt light.
This particular shooting technique is specifically used for portrait shooting. By facing the camera sideways with the shadow of the subject's face, the light illuminates three-quarters of the subject's face, using strong side lighting so that any side of the subject's face will form an inverted triangle of bright spots, and the front part of the face will form a triangular light spot.
This technique gives the light and shadow effect on the subject's face very unique and impressive.
Li Li is dressed in a majestic animal-print costume, and Rembrandt's light subtly illuminates her unique facial features, and her plump and thick lips are even more distinctive in the light and shadow, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
In Wong Kar-wai's film "Flowers", in addition to the clever use of Rembrandt's light, the hair light is also very eye-catching. This special lighting technique mainly uses side backlight to create a bright halo around the edges of the character's hair, making the hair look more flowing and dynamic.
Under the backlight, Miss Wang shows a unique charm, as if even one of her hair is full of youthful vitality and positive energy. Her beauty and generosity are filled with endless energy, making it impossible to ignore her presence.
Wong Kar-wai's unique aesthetic of light and shadow has become unique in the field of film and TV series, and has become a benchmark in the industry. His work is very different from the beauty filters found in regular commercials or mainstream blockbusters, showing real and touching female characters.
Through the screen, the audience can be moved by the emotions of the characters and resonate.
The art of light and shadow is everywhere. Different lens languages can evoke different emotions in people. Whether it's a movie or TV series, or a flat image, the sense of light and shadow atmosphere is everywhere, as long as you have professional equipment, you can create a stunning effect.
So, what kind of phone can achieve this level of professionalism? Li Li's personal experience on Weibo Night has given the answer, and that is the OPPO Find X7 series.

In the surging soft light of the seaside, Li Li Xin Zhilei shows an incomparable charm with her strong and delicate soul.
