The 30-episode "Flowers" took two years to shoot alone, and it took a year to be released, Wong Kar-wai's first TV series, he can be described as painstaking, from funding to casting, Wong Kar-wai did everything himself.
The finale of "Flowers", some people are happy and some people regret, no matter how beautiful the process is, the ending is full of too many emotions, and it will always return to reality, and the suspense buried by Wong Kar-wai has also surfaced with the finale.
In casting Wong Kar-wai, in the portrayal of the protagonist, he is basically a native of Shanghai, and he has enough charm to make most of the Shanghai actors in the entertainment industry appear in this film and television drama with unknown results, which is enough to witness Wong Kar-wai's strength.
This is Wong Kar-wai's work, so he really made the film and television drama attentive and extreme, and a topic about him has been on the hot search list, that is-how much money did Wong Kar-wai spend on songs.
"Flowers" has a total of 30 episodes, and the songs alone have reached 57, almost every of these 57 songs is a classic song, and Wong Kar-wai not only used so many classic songs, but the first song is also the original song.
According to professionals, if a film and television drama wants to use an original singing version, it is necessary to pay two fees, one for the singer and the other for the copyright of the lyrics and songs, and the original singer is the most expensive no matter how many times it will be.
If this song is covered and then used in film and television dramas, then only one fee is required, that is, the cost of lyrics and songs, and Wong Kar Wai Guang's cost on ** may reach about 10 million.
After all, this is only an estimate, you must know that Fu Dongyu and Mao Wei's "The Wind Blows in the Summer", an original song, reached 600,000, because the cost of the original song is expensive, so most of the songs are covered, which can reduce some of the economic pressure.
Wong Kar-wai's handwriting is not small at all, he can observe every detail with his heart, and spend time researching it, which is beyond the reach of many modern directors.
There is a song by Jacky Cheung "Stealing the Heart" in "Flowers", which was released by Jacky Cheung in 1994*** This song has been pushed to the craze again after 40 years, so that more people know the classics of that era.
When "Stealing Hearts" was paired with the role of "Bao" played by Hu Ge, the heartbreaking picture at that moment directly filled the audio-visual experience and effect, and many viewers praised it.
Wong Kar-wai is very good at using ** to express the actors' situation and mood at that time, he knows very well that lines are important, but many times some lines cannot replace the real effect of the soundtrack and arouse empathy.
When each plot is paired with these **, it not only achieves the finishing touch, but also fits the times, and once again makes the charm of the old song "unobstructed", this kind of just right soundtrack and emotion, can only say that Wong Kar-wai is really tasteful.
Moreover, it is extremely rare to hear 57 songs in a 30-episode film and television drama, which is equivalent to hearing nearly two songs in one episode, and Wong Kar-wai is also very good at choosing songs, such as Faye Wong's "Obsessed and Unrepentant", Jiang Yuheng's "Looking Back Again", "What to Ask for in Life", etc., can put the right songs in the right position, which can be said to complement each other.
In fact, for Wong Kar-wai, who pursues art and the inner world, he doesn't care how much money "Flowers" spends on **, because shaping the world and concept in his mind for the audience is what he wants all his life, and as for money, it is just something outside his body.
