The finale of "Flowers" has attracted a lot of attention!
Director Wong Kar-wai's first TV series "Flowers", which has been carefully polished for three years, was cooperated by Hu Ge and Tang Yan for the fifth time, and it was a great success as soon as it was launched.
At the beginning of the broadcast, viewers expressed doubts about the prosperity of Shanghai's Yellow River Road, believing that it did not match the situation in the 90s.
However, when the audience first saw "Mountains and Seas" set in the 90s, they didn't want to believe that the Xihaigu area would be so poor.
"Mountains and Seas" failed to truly show the poverty scene at that time, and "Flowers" did not truly show the wealth scene at that time.
People's Entertainment commented after the finale of "Flowers" was broadcast: "In the parallel world, they each interpret sound and silence, forming a polyphony that echoes each other, which is the embodiment of Shanghai becoming one. ”
In fact, this evaluation is mainly for the ending of "Prosperous".
In the story of "Flowers", the audience met the characters of Mr. Bao, Miss Wang, Lingzi, Li Li, Mr. Fan, and Mr. Qiang, and experienced a journey on the road of their lives together.
The audience originally thought that their finale would be full of flowers, but they unexpectedly left the Yellow River Road one after another and started a new stage of life.
As the core character of "Flowers", Mr. Bao faced the strong oppression of Mr. Qiang, and watched the stock price rise rapidly, but he did not seem flustered at all.
Bao eventually reached a cooperation with Kirin, and when he exited, he also successfully acquired a large piece of land in Pudong and began to set foot in the real estate field.
Although the audience did not hear Mr. Bao's vision for the future, they knew that Mr. Bao's investment vision was indeed unique!
After jumping out of the paddock of **, Mr. Bao took a back seat and transformed into Bao.
Wang Mingzhu successfully completed the transformation from "Miss Wang" to "President Wang" and had her own dock.
She clearly stated that the relationship between her and Mr. Wei is purely a business relationship, and there is no other relationship.
Reiko recognizes her situation, lets go of her inner obsession, and decides to go to Hong Kong to continue her journey in Tokyo's nightlife.
The audience felt the most sorry for Li Li's ending, she was sentenced to a year in prison for impersonating someone else's identity, and a few years later she became a monk at the South China Temple in Guangzhou.
Perhaps, Li Li's way of cutting off the red dust is not just for love, but because she has seen through the world and human nature, and longs to continue living in another way.
It is difficult for the audience to accept that there is no ending in which a pair of CPs come true, which has to be admitted.
Why did four such excellent people end up spending their old age alone?
The audience's biggest regret is that Ah Bao and Miss Wang can only look at each other across the river in the end.
Five years later, Po and Ms. Wang plan to visit the Oriental Pearl Tower together. However, it is a pity that they live on the banks of the Huangpu River in Pudong and Puxi, forming an insurmountable barrier.
However, the narrator reveals some of the circumstances.
Po said: "I thought she had forgotten, but then I learned that she had gone somewhere else. ”
The audience was so excited that they even wanted to shake the director's shoulder and ask, "I know that they have a future, and I really want to know the story later!" ”
However, it is certain that in the story told by Po, only he and Miss Wang have a future, and this is enough.
Other people also have different destinations in the story.
In order to retire, Mr. Fan returned to his hometown in Hangzhou, where he planned to plant some roses.
Mr. Qiang was eventually sentenced to three years in prison because he was responsible for his actions.
It seems that the end of the Yellow River Road symbolizes everyone's hurried farewell and their choice to embark on the journey of life.
There are many in the audience who think that this ending is not happy enough, but in life, separation doesn't always wait until you say goodbye.
Everyone is trying to be a better version of themselves, and that would be the ideal outcome.
And the finale of "Flowers" sparked comments from People's Entertainment, and the audience started another controversy about it.
The TV series "Flowers", adapted from Jin Yucheng's eponymous **, has sparked discussions among the audience because the ending is different from the original**.
Therefore, People's Entertainment's comments pointed out that in the face of such controversy, the audience should watch ** and TV series separately.
* The polyphonic melody that echoes each other with TV forms the city of Shanghai.
The story that Kim Woo-sung wanted to write at that time was "Flowers", which blended the big era and ordinary characters of the era that he saw from the perspective of a bystander.
* The time span in is even broader, spanning from the 60s to the 90s, vividly showing the lives of dozens of characters.
Wong Kar-wai's TV series "Flowers" is based on his understanding of Shanghai and the times, presenting his unique perspective.
Due to the limited space of the TV series, only a slice of their life story in the 90s is presented.
However, despite their different paths, their "Flowers" tells the story of Shanghai in the 90s of the last century, and has also become a fragment of the audience's memories of that era.
Jin Yucheng himself once said that after the movie, it will become a movie, and the relationship with ** is insignificant.
Either way, they all have their own value.
This situation is very common in the film and television industry today.
With the increase in the film and television of ** works, the audience gradually realizes that the success of film and television works depends not only on the faithful restoration of the original work, but also on the reasonable adaptation of the story by the main creative team.
The audience almost unanimously praised the adaptation of Miss Wang's character in "Flowers".
*, Miss Wang marries early and becomes pregnant with a deformed fetus, and her life seems to be in chaos.
However, in the TV series adaptation, Miss Wang transformed into Mr. Wang, had her own dock, and became a successful professional woman.
Wong Kar-wai has expressed his views on this role, believing that Miss Wang's destiny should not be just to have children, but to pursue the promotion of spiritual values.
This adaptation is not a figment of imagination, but uses Ms. Wang's past as a starting point, which has changed the trajectory of her entire life.
Their stories have changed dramatically, even though they are both Shanghainese and have the same name.
Li Li, another female character, chose to follow the path of the character's established destiny, and she became a monk.
The audience is very dissatisfied with such an ending, especially when Miss Wang lives a different life, and Li Li's ending is too tragic.
However, it can be seen from the TV series that Li Lee's ending is an independent choice deep in her heart.
Her arrival meant that she wanted to settle her grievances, and all this happened on the Yellow River Road.
She could not deny that the funds to open the garden were provided by Mr. A, and she also witnessed Mr. A jump into the river.
As Chen Zhen, she has a soft spot for Mr. A's influence on her and can't let go.
In the end, he decided to become a monk because Li Li was extremely intelligent.
There have been ups and downs in life, so becoming a monk is not necessarily the best option.
As a ** adapted TV series, "Flowers" can be regarded as a successful work, and it has successfully won a Douban score of more than 8 points.
Over the years, there have been a number of similar success stories.
For example: "Chen Qingling", "Dear Love", "Town Soul", "East Palace", "Sito" and other dramas.
*Adaptation into film and television works seems to have become the ultimate fate.
Male frequency, female frequency, and even works that have won the Mao Dun Literature Award have been adapted into film and television works.
In this trend, director Wong Kar-wai has provided valuable experience for future adaptors through his own practical actions and the data of "Flowers".
In many cases, the original book and the film and television work should be viewed separately, but they can echo each other and merge into one.
"Flowers" has ushered in the finale, and "The Years of the Great River" is still on the air.
Although it tells the story of the 90s, it does not take place in Shanghai.
