Regardless of whether you chase the drama or not, you have probably been swiped by "Flowers" and Shanghai Circle Culture for a while. A fundamentalist war in the 90s was fought from the beginning of the broadcast to the end today, and the Jinghu faction turned over the cabinet to prove that the Wu dialect in the play is not authentic and the Yellow River Road is not realistic. 
And our foreign TV drama children talk about realism across the network cable, obviously looking at flowers in the fog, and what we pay the most attention to is the team building of Shanghai actors in the entertainment industry. Wong Kar-wai for "Flowers" can be said to have brushed his face all over the network, not only the protagonist is full of Shanghainese, football fans found that the former international player Fan Zhiyi actually blossomed in both style and sports, and the first sister in Shanghai, Sun Li, did not have children, and the first person to worship was Shanghai pianist Kong Xiangdong. 
With such a star-studded full lineup of Shanghainese actors, some people say that "Flowers" is Shanghai's Harry Potter, and not acting is equivalent to expulsion from Shanghai. 
I don't agree with this very much, at least in the field of middle women, there are too many treasure actors who can't be fired. Although Shanghai women have been deeply branded by Wong Kar-wai, the first thing that pops up in my mind when I mention Shanghai women is Mr. Pan Hong, who is market-oriented, spicy, and quarrelsome.
It just so happened that "Flowers" was broadcast, and the ** business war in it brought fire to "Stock Crazy" starring Pan Hong in 1994, and the bus conductor Fan Li she played constituted all my initial impressions of Shanghai women:
On the one hand, they are shrewd and capable, and they are strong and aggressive. Fan Li thought that her husband couldn't make money, so she took it upon herself to follow the businessman from Hong Kong to learn ** and become a well-known female speculator overnight. On the other hand, it is not enough for Hong Kong women to do their own thing, and no matter how loud the abacus is, it is also chic on the surface, after all, they still need a man to let them do it.
Speaking in a crackling Shanghainese, Pan Hong played a philistine, shrewd and soft-hearted Shanghai woman so vividly that hearing her elders describe her as "elegant Kochi" was almost suspicious of her fame.
It wasn't until I made up Mr. Pan Hong's famous work "Troubled Laughter" that I believed that the pungent middle-aged female professional in my heart was really the first goddess of literature and art.
Pan Hong, who is in her early 20s, is tall and thin, exuding a melancholy temperament at a young age, and has created a series of tragic characters with those beautiful and arrogant eyes, Du Shi Niang, who was let down by a scumbag, Lu Wenting, an intellectual doctor who has done his best for patients in middle age, and Li Tong, the last aristocrat who has lost his life in the family road......
She is both fragile and pure, and her charm is big enough to make her a Shanghai Tang Yuper.
Throughout the 80s, Pan Hong can be called the top of the top stream, and Liu Xiaoqing, Siqin Gaowa, Chen Chong, Zhang Yu are collectively known as the "Five Golden Flowers", after winning the Golden Rooster Movie three times, he appeared on the cover of the American "Time" magazine, and was rated as one of the world's top ten stars by the Japanese "Film Shunbao". It's a pity that "Stock Crazy" became the last peak of Pan Hong's acting career, and then her screen image was completely bound to a snobbish Shanghai woman, holding various mother-in-law scripts to break up couples everywhere.
However, the recent hit of "Flowers" has made people notice that Pan Hong has actually joined Ah Bao's universe a long time ago, and she returned after 17 years of absence from the stage to play Mr. Li, a friend of Ah Bao's father, in the drama version of "Flowers".
In addition to Pan Hong, one of the five golden flowers also has a bit of a relationship with "Flowers".
Do you remember the Commander Cai of the CP of the Huang Ling Group in the play? Zhang Jianya, who plays him, is not small, a college classmate of the fifth-generation directors Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, and the director of "Sanmao in the Army" and "Love Call Transfer".
However, in the 80s, he also had a more famous identity - the first person in the big screen kiss scene, the husband of Shanghai actress Zhang Yu.
is also Shanghai Ning, if Pan Hong presents Wang Anyi's resolute, decisive, and strict side of Shanghai women, then Zhang Yu makes people think of Zhang Ailing's wonderful metaphor: Shanghai women are like tamales, white, glutinous, soft, sweet, trembling and trembling in one step, and the crystal light ......is translucent
In today's words, it's the sweet sister of the girl.
Zhang Yu debuted very early, entered the Shanghai Film Studio after graduating from junior high school, participated in "Youth" directed by Xie Jin in 1977, and became popular all over the country overnight with "Lushan Love" in 80 years.
In this movie, which was written into Chinese film history, 23-year-old Zhang Yu not only contributed a shocking kiss, but also more than 40 sets of fashionable dresses such as shawl curls, French berets, chiffon white shirts, and slim bell bottoms.
In the 1985 Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Yu wore a red and white short top + plaid skirt of the same color + boots to host on stage.
In that year, Zhang Yu, whose career was in full swing, made a surprising decision to go to the United States to study filmmaking. However, her journey to the United States was not successful, and she divorced Zhang Jianya due to long-term separation in life, and her career was stagnant for 5 years, and she chose to develop in Taiwan Province after graduating in 90.
Zhang Yu filmed a lot of popular Taiwanese dramas back then, and also appeared in variety shows with Fang Fang, the stalk who scared Xiao S to the point of weak legs, did you feel that the dimensional wall was cracked?
In 93, Zhang Yu decided to transform behind the scenes, returning to domestic entertainment to produce and direct several works, but like Pan Hong, it was difficult to keep up with the pace and return to the top in the face of the rapid development of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Yu's acting career can be said to be the epitome of many Shanghai female stars in the 80s. "Yang Guifei" Zhou Jie, Gong Xue, the heroine of "Under the Bridge", and Ding Xiaoya Yin Ting in "Village in the City" are ......They all went abroad for further study after becoming popular only a few years later, among which there were many lonely people, and the most successful ones were Shuangshu in "The Last Emperor", Chen Chong and Wu Junmei.
Chen Chong is very familiar to everyone, he took the cool script of the entertainment industry, came from a Kochi family, became popular overnight with "Little Flower" in 79, won the Hundred Flowers Award at the age of 19, appeared on the Oscar stage at the age of 26, and developed in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 90s, and won the Golden Horse Award as a heroine and a director.
Among them, the role that made her win the Golden Horse for the first time is a typical Shanghai woman who is willful and strong, and she is in her bones, and the red rose Wang Jiaorui in "Red Rose and White Rose".
And the good sister Wu Junmei is not as ambitious as Chen Chong in terms of career.
Born in a film family, she has played on the set since she was a child, and was starred in "Long Live Youth" by Huang Shuqin at the age of 16, and at the age of 20, she has become internationally famous with "The Last Emperor".
Such a Tianhu start allowed Wu Junmei to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, starring in many foreign movies such as "The Joy Luck Club" and "Pillow Book". But at that time, Hollywood Asians were still marginal roles after all, and Wu Junmei's works were always mostly supporting roles, so in the late 90s, she also followed in the footsteps of Chen Chong to return to domestic entertainment.
I don't know if it's a tacit understanding or a coincidence, Wu Junmei and Chen Chong both left a classic image of a Shanghai woman after the millennium, and they are still bright and dark.
Wu Junmei is the bright side, she plays a series of urban dramas with Shanghai as the back, such as "The First Half of My Life", "The True Story of Hot Mom", "Mother-in-law's Bracelet", etc., as a cute rich woman with a casual and transparent Shanghai style.
Chen Chong is on the darker side, just a mahjong scene in "Lust, Caution" made everyone deeply impressed by the shrewd Shanghai lady who hides calculations in her elegance and dignity.
This time, with the broadcast of "Flowers", there are many Shanghainese actors in the entertainment industry, some regret the lack of her, and some remember the lack of him, but what reminds me of this drama is this half-Shanghainese, Li Yuanyuan.
Younger viewers are probably unfamiliar with this name, and in episode 19, when Po persuaded Reiko to take over Night Tokyo, he mentioned Dong Zhujun, the female owner of the Jin Jiang Hotel.
Her life is very legendary, from the singer of the Qinglou all the way to become the wife of the Overseer, the founder of the state-guest hotel, in 99 there is a TV series adapted from her real experience "Century Life: The Legend of Dong Zhujun", playing Dong Zhujun is Li Yuanyuan.
is also a female hotel owner who went to Shanghai to work hard, and Li Li, who is charming and domineering, long-sleeved and good at dancing, Li Yuanyuan played the beautiful side of the female boss, in the troubled times, she not only has the courage to resist domestic violence and start a business independently, but also has the foresight to provide jobs for women based on society.
After so many years, I still think that Li Yuanyuan is the first dignified and beautiful person in the entertainment industry, and I can't find a meal replacement.
Li Yuanyuan is a drama actress, which may be the reason why she is obviously not from Shanghai, and almost all of her famous screen images are Shanghainese, the graceful third aunt in "Morning in Shanghai", and the scheming Su Wenjun in "The Siege", the latter was also stamped by Qian Zhongshu to fit the original work.
It's a pity that Li Yuanyuan died of cancer in 2002, and "The Legend of Dong Zhujun" also became her last work before her death.
Looking at it now, the Shanghai film and television in the 90s was inclusive and open, taking advantage of the awakening of the first batch of women's ideology in the new era to shoot a lot of women's entrepreneurship stories, and before Dong Zhujun, there was a more famous "Shanghai Family".
The protagonist of the story, Ruonan, is a Ashin-style resolute woman who escaped to Shanghai and became independent and self-reliant, starting a business on her own, and finally achieving a career in Shanghai.
This TV series, which was launched in 91, was empty at the time, and it was so popular that Ruonan's long and short hairstyle in the play was given the name "Ruonantou", which became popular all over the country overnight.
Playing Ruonan is Li Ling, who is also a popular Shanghai actor in the 80s, but compared to Pan Hong, Chen Chong and others, she is not top-notch enough, but her deep cultivation of the local area made her open up in the 90s, and in 93 years, Gong Li, Liu Xiaoqing, Li Xuejian and others won the title of the first top ten film and television stars of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
In addition to Ruonan, Li Ling also created a classic role, Song Qingling in "Song Qingling and Her Sisters". Her interpretation of Song Qingling can be described as both physical and spiritual, and it is still considered by many people to be unsurpassable.
However, among the many Shanghai-style films and television in the 90s, the most sensational and phenomenal Shanghai-themed film and television drama has to be "Debt".
Like "Flowers", "Debt" also has two versions, Shanghainese and Mandarin, directed by "The Siege" director Huang Shuqin, which tells the story of five descendants of educated young people from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, who go to Shanghai to find their biological parents. If you still feel very strange when you see this, then remind me again, "Beautiful Xishuangbanna, can't keep my father, Shanghai is so big, is there my home", is the ending song of this drama.
Due to the use of all-Shanghainese dialogue, the leading actors in this drama are all local actors who are very strong in Shanghai, such as Yan Xiaopin, who plays Mei Yunqing, is the new leader of the Shanghai Union Commercial Building in "Flowers".
Wu Jing, who played Yang Shaoquan, later became a professional mother in domestic dramas.
Looking at the eyes? Does this face feel the fear of being dominated?
Li Ying, who plays Lu Yuqi, is the first generation of national models and the champion of the National Advertising Model Contest in 1992. However, she also has a more famous identity in the long river of domestic dramas, Murong Yunhai's domineering president mother.
As for Mr. Wu Mian, who plays Ling Shanshan, she is one of the actresses who is most worthy of the words "Shanghai Celebrity" in her heart.
In addition to "Debts", Mr. Wu Mian also acted in a drama about the short life of the parents of small citizens in Shanghai "Children and Daughters", in which she played the role of Jianlan, a little girl who is knowledgeable and gifted, and her sister is the actress Xi Meijuan.
Teacher Xi Meijuan is probably the most tenacious artistic life among the batch of Shanghai actresses who emerged in the 80s, she and Pan Hong are college classmates, although they became popular later, but they have been steady along the way, and each generation can come up with a different representative role.
In the 90s, she played a series of good wives and good mothers in film and television dramas such as "A Tree", "Children's Love", "Red Prescription", and after the millennium, she relied on "Red Carnation" and "Sitting Village" to transform into a villain and evil girl, and in the 10s, she was happy to mention the title of Cixi's professional household, and three years ago she was awarded the title of "Mom! After 31 years, she won the Golden Rooster Movie again.
By the way, popularize gossip and cold knowledge, Xi Meijuan's ex-husband is also an old acquaintance in Shanghai, the old Kohler Zhou Yemang in "The Myth of Love", after the two divorced, Zhou Yemang married the summer of Yan Ji Wang of "New Moon Gege", did you feel that the dimensional wall was shattered again?
After taking stock of the Shanghai actresses who have become popular in so many years, I suddenly found that no matter whether they were melancholy and rebellious when they were young, or whether they were dignified or dignified, when they said goodbye to the word young, they still maintained the unique elegance and calmness of Shanghai women, and they were not impatient or impatient.
This kind of special spirit that belongs to an era is the most touching charm of these Shanghai actresses for me.
