Wong Kar-wai's superpower is: he can always shoot the most vulgar stories with a sense of high-end atmosphere.

Except for "The Grandmaster", all Wong Kar-wai's movies, you peel them off again and again, and the stories at the bottom are very simple.

There are very few intensive dramatic conflicts, and there is no need for actors to "show their acting skills".

It's not that Wong Kar-wai can't write complex stories - he won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay as soon as he debuted.

Rather, he instinctively resists the thrill of the story – too much stimulation will destroy the atmosphere.

This is why there are no passion scenes, no golden sentences, and no heart-stopping scenes in the drama version of "Flowers".

The TV series "Flowers" is very different from the original book, the screenwriter is not Wong Kar-wai, just talking about this script, it is actually very general.

Peeling it off to the end, it's just a story of a middle-aged man who relies on the halo of the protagonist to be self-willed in the business field.

Pile of narration and pop hits, it can even be said that the narrative method that has been used indiscriminately in recent years.

This script, filmed by other domestic directors, is likely to be exaggerated, greasy, and daddy, and made into an obscene story about a man and a group of confidants.

But Wong Kar-wai is different, he filmed:

Chivalrous sense.

Why did the first few episodes look bad? It's because the audience hasn't believed in that chivalrous feeling.

After 4 episodes, it came naturally, and Mr. Bao's disregard for business common sense was not only logical, but even a kind of romance.

The way of life that has passed through a leaf in the thousands of flowers will not make the audience feel scum.

To give another specific example, in the next few episodes, Mr. Fan of the old fritter tried his best to assist Miss Wang in starting a business, this relationship seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to handle.

If the heat is light, it will look false and plastic, and if the heat is too good, it will look obscene and greasy.

But Wong Kar-wai just rightly created the pure revolutionary friendship between Fan Wang, not fake, not father, not oily, not obscene.

Convincing and moving.

How did Wong Kar-wai do it?

There are three silly domestic dramas: silly bright, silly white, and silly beautiful.

The first thing Wang Jia Satellite TV listened to was: refuse to be stupid.

In "Flowers", a large number of narrow light, side light, backlight, and dark light are used to create a three-dimensional sense of character, oil painting, and profundity.

took Hu Ge's face out of a lot of rare angles.

That's right, characterization starts with lighting.

In terms of lens language, in fact, there are not many camera positions in "Flowers", but Wong Kar-wai replaces still shots with rich camera movements, which quietly gives a sense of following, substitution and immersion.

really taught the TV series director how to film.

And, of course, there's Wong Kar-wai's classic gameplay: frame drawing.

The visual effect is that the neon world flows like water, and the protagonist swims like a fish.

Feelings of alienation and loneliness erupted.

In addition to the typical Wang atmosphere, what I really like about the drama version of "Flowers" is:

Wong Kar-wai photographed his own Zhang Wuji.

Mr. Bao is Wong Kar-wai's version of Zhang Wuji.

So,"Flowers" can be renamed "Zhang Wuji's Rebirth: I am a god in Shanghai Tang" [Wangchai].

Correspondingly, the uncle is Zhang Sanfeng, he is a peerless master, and he is eager to protect the calf, but after all, he has to go against the times.

The reason why Zhang Sanfeng is a classic is that even if he has peerless martial arts, he is also powerful and sometimes he can't catch it.

Uncle's character arc is the same.

The three heroines, Lingzi is Yin Li, Miss Wang is Xiao Zhao, and Li Li is Zhao Min.

There is no blackened Zhou Zhiruo, this is Wong Kar-wai's gentleness, and it is also Wong Kar-wai's cleverness.

Flowers,There is no woman like Zhou Zhiruo, who has fallen into the madness that she can't live without a man.

This is where Wong Kar-wai is ahead of other Hong Kong directors, and his understanding of female characters is very current.

He even wrote about women more than men.

But in fact, when I saw most of "Flowers", although the audio-visual was very Wong Kar-wai, there was one thing that always made me feel lost:

What about loneliness? Wong Kar-wai is the most lonely?

Won't you shoot "the spring breeze of reform blowing all over the ground" all season?

In the end, the lonely kernel still came.

This loneliness is called, the location is still there, the people are still there, but the rice is gone.

This loneliness is called, you send warmth thousands of miles, and I can't bear it.

This loneliness is called, and looking back, my heart is still the same.

This loneliness is called, and Bao will never be able to return to Bao.

This loneliness called, "Anyway, everyone is lonely in the end." ”

This loneliness is actually the title of the original **: no sound.

"Flowers" finally echoes "The Grandmaster":

No matter how good the kung fu is, it can't beat the times.

No matter how warm the relationship is, it can't withstand the ebb and flow of the tide.

The so-called obsession must have an echo, but it is just wishful thinking and self-comfort.

At this point, I would like to sum up Wong Kar-wai's goodness in two words;

Wife.

It's a verb-object structure: love everybody.

Not only love men, but also women, not only love the protagonist, but also love the supporting roles, not only love the big people, but also love the small people, not only love people, but also love bad people.

How did Wong Kar-wai love them?

Be considerate of their loneliness.

Be considerate of their loneliness.

Especially Miss Wang, who photographed Tang Yan with the feeling of young Zhu Yin.

It looks like a purple fairy, and the god is even more like.

Looking forward to the movie version of "Flowers" to be released in 2025, the name of Wong Kar-wai is not in the screenwriter column of the drama version, but the movie version does.

Write an article until you are bald, and ask for **comment points "like again".
