Please allow me to use the finale Miss Wang to drink in Lingzi's shop, and Lingzi's true feelings are revealed, as the beginning of the article:
Everyone said that Mr. Bao was lucky, he borrowed my luck, and I never left, because I was afraid that it would be true."
Flowers" ended, and I finished watching the finale.
At that time, Jin Yucheng wrote Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei" in the preface of "Flowers": Tony Leung rode a horse to find a horse, and the hero was secretly ......Next, comb your hair, Sanqi powder, comb the mirror, the whole body is straight, the bones are slow, and finally, turn off the lights, or Ji Tailai, this half a minute is the taste of Shanghai.
The finale of "Flowers" can be said to be a perfect interpretation of the artistic conception of these words, which is amazing.
There are no open-ended endings. That's the end.
No matter what Wong Kar-wai will shoot in the movie version, the story of the finale of the TV series is complete.
The new Shanghai tide is up and down. The story of Mr. Bao, Lingzi, Miss Wang, and Li Li ends here.
After watching the finale, I was full of emotion and couldn't hide my excitement.
Don't blow it or black, this drama, of course, wins.
Flowers" is on Douban, the finale is over, there are more than 160,000 reviews, but it gives 8With a high score of 2, it is of course a phenomenal work at the beginning of 2024.
It turns out that too many people have misread "Flowers", but the goose factory has seen it.
When the series premiered, he complained that "Flowers" was a middle-aged version of the small era, and now netizens who want to apologize to Wong Kar-wai are enough to fill 750 meters of Yellow River Road.
The average score of the "Little Times" series on Douban is less than 5 points, saying that "Flowers" is a person of a small era, and it is too unreasonable to give "Flowers" a score of 8 on Douban160,000 netizens with 2 points in their eyes.
And Wong Kar-wai laughed at the popularity of the drama series and frequently exceeded 30,000, pork ribs and rice cakes, Miss Tuo Wang and Mr. Bao's blessings, and the orders exploded. In the morning, more than 4w people were listening to "Stealing Hearts" at the same time. No sound.
The TV series version of "Flowers" is Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers", not Kim Yucheng's "Flowers".
The real uniqueness of "Flowers" is that it cannot be compared and defined by any domestic drama in the past, and it is unique.
In the last episode of "Flowers", Mr. Bao walked out of the Peace Hotel that his uncle had let him rent, looked at the Yellow River Road, and thought thoughtfully.
A battle to defend Shanghai's stock price has just settled.
Many viewers said that they didn't understand it, so I'll give you a plate.
Before the finale, the business war on the Yellow River Road had already entered a white heat.
Some people lost a hotel overnight, such as Boss Jin, who could only fall from the sky.
And Po was also forced to the precipice.
His opponent is the strong president who has completely killed him and can't hold back. Last time, Ah Bao was small and big, and the two were tied.
But this time, Bao's clothing company went public, and Mr. Qiang was full of murderous intent, vowing to kick Bao out completely, so that Bao could also taste the feeling of being "collected".
And the unicorn will also be ready to move, and the yellow finch is behind.
On Mr. Bao's own side, Uncle Bao was angry and left, and Li Li transferred the three million transferred to Zhenyuan to his account, but Zhenyuan had been lost, Li Li could only revoke the guarantee contract, and Mr. Bao's last source of wealth, Lin Tai, naturally withdrew his capital.
At this point, Ah Bao can be said to be attacked by the enemy on his back and ambushed on all sides, which is definitely more than lucky.
Sure enough, the opening day of the clothing company came, on January 10, 94, Mr. Bao wanted to hold shares and fight in the capital market, and this time his opponent was Mr. Qiang, between the two of them either you die, or I live, no one has a way out.
The problem is that Mr. Bao's ammunition is far inferior to Mr. Qiang, which is supported by a consortium.
Mr. Bao was quickly at a disadvantage.
But the shareholders outside are going crazy, but Mr. Bao is still calm and leisurely drinking coffee on the windowsill of the hotel.
Commander Cai asked Mr. Bao why he was not in a hurry, and Mr. Bao said that he was still waiting and had not reached the last moment.
Commander Cai said that this is not the last?
But Mr. Bao is still waiting for a key third party - the Kirin Club.
The most incomprehensible thing for many viewers is here, thinking that Mr. Bao and Kirin will play dumb riddles.
The time that the unicorn will give to the treasure is half past nine on the opening day, and the treasure will have the final say before half past nine, and then the unicorn will have the final say. That is, an ultimatum to Mr. Bao.
What's the mystery here?
In fact, it is fundamentally a game between Mr. Bao and the Kirin Club.
It's okay for the Kirin to make a move, but it has to follow the rules of their game, so until the last moment of the next day, the Kirin will give Bao a 60-second countdown.
In this scene, Wong Kar-wai is obviously a tribute to "Dark War" directed by Johnny To.
* Yun gave Andy Lau time to convince himself in the film, which was also one minute.
This time, Hu Ge's lines were more calm and relaxed than Andy Lau, and he was not in a hurry at all, because he knew what Qilin would want and what he was afraid of.
Sure enough, in the last five seconds, the unicorn will count down to the treasure, and it will become the treasure to the unicorn.
And the Kirin Club finally obediently agreed to Mr. Bao's request.
In the end, Wong Kar-wai asked the Kirin Club to be the audience's mouth: Mr. Bao is at the end of his rope, why should he help him?
And the answer of the boss of the Qilin Club is also the ultimate answer to the question: not to help him, but to save himself.
Why, it's actually a very simple **arithmetic problem-
In this ** war, Mr. Bao has a heavy position, and his net worth is not counted, plus all the money that Li Li gave him, it is estimated that there are about 30 million funds, you know, it was 30 million in 94.
Qiang always shorted, ** fell 8 yuan, and Bao lost 30 million.
If Bao is liquidated in the end, if Bao is not saved, the stock price will be **, and if Kirin will also increase leverage, they will also blow up.
And if this battle is won, it will no longer be the world of the Kirin Club, and the home field will become the away game.
The so-called self-help is not only about winning or losing, but about the power structure under the cards.
On the contrary, Kirin will kill it and make at least tens of millions of dollars if the stock price rises back.
For Bao, it is equivalent to renting a piece of land with 30 million.
So there was a scene where Mr. Bao left the hotel, because this ** war has come to an end-
Mr. Bao did not go bankrupt, but the clothing company did it in vain, and 30 million was lost. But the land is with tomorrow.
And the strong always lose miserably.
When Mr. Bao walked out of the Peace Hotel and had a conversation with the doorman, the doorman said that he was emotionally asked - "Mr. Bao, will you come back?"Mr. Bao's eyes said it all.
So, the finale episode of "Flowers" I think is the best scene filmed in front of everyone.
On the Yellow River Road, Shanghai Beach is rushing rapidly, and a former man of the moment has taken firm steps to come out of the past storm.
Looking back, the clouds cut off the way home.
There is only the endless long road, accompanied by Mr. Bao.
Flowers", so far.
This finale actually reminds me of the paragraph in "Dream of Red Mansions": It's like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the white land is really clean.
It seems to be joyful, but in fact it is sad.
Let's talk about the endings of several of the main characters.
Let's talk about Po first. Mr. Bao's final ending was not bankrupt, he gambled everything, bet that Li Li would not betray himself and would help him, plus the unicorn would make a move, Mr. Bao successfully defeated Mr. Qiang and let him be "carried by the corpse", but Mr. Bao also left the Peace Hotel from then on.
Only then did the audience understand what he said before: My retreat is Bao.
From then on, he was no longer the boss of Bao, and chose to be the unrestrained farmer.
He still has more than 100 acres of land in Chuansha, and of course, what he planted is a brilliant future.
Let's talk about the other main characters.
Abao's first love, Xuezhi, played by Du Juan, did not survive the illness and passed away.
Uncle said his final goodbye to Po in the last episode and didn't appear again.
But the ending of the TV series Uncle is far stronger than the ending of the original book. In the original book, Bao always lost everything, and his uncle jumped off the building lonely. In the TV series, as long as the uncle is willing, he can farm with Po in minutes.
As for Mr. Qiang, the biggest mistake in his life was to avenge himself with the strong strength of the group.
As a result, the limelight was exhausted, but he fell hard, and he was taken away by the public security organs and waited for punishment.
Also imprisoned is Li Li, she became herself again, also imprisoned for a year, and became a monk after being released from prison, this ending is the same as the original book.
From Reiko's departure to her return to open a store, her end was already doomed.
It seems that the best "mixed" finale is Miss Wang, who has transformed into Mr. Wang.
She not only got a big order given to her by Mr. Bao, but also made a small profit in the foreign exchange market with the difference in information, but she made a name for herself in one fell swoop.
Since then, there is no longer Mr. Bao on the Yellow River Road, but there is Mr. Wang.
How to evaluate the benefits and disadvantages?
Many people think that Mr. Bao lost, but I think that Mr. Bao won.
Love and money, Mr. Bao has always chosen the former. In business, Uncle is really ruthless, and Bao always seeks benevolence.
On the surface, in the end, Mr. Bao's love field and business field were empty-handed.
In the end, he and Miss Wang watched the lights of the Oriental Pearl together across the Huangpu River.
The emotional world is as far away as the Huangpu River.
And Li Li, kissing goodbye in the finale, is obviously not Mr. Bao, but his teacher Mr. A.
When Mr. A's capital chain broke, Ah Bao took the fleet to "pick up the corpse", which is the truth of Li Lee's revenge.
These two people are destined not to come together.
It is not difficult to see that the finale is actually a feeling of withering all over the ground after the flowers.
Everyone is closing the curtain in their own way, leaving the audience with an empty and true circle and loneliness, and can't help but recall the golden splendor and flowers blooming all over the opening, and even think of the dozens of overlord farewells sent by Mr. Wei.
From now on, who still remembers Mr. Bao on the Yellow River Road?
Ah, they all have to take a curtain call from the stage and find their true home.
As soon as this plot came out, I don't know how everyone feels, I am really emotional, and I have a deeper understanding of the original work of "Flowers" and the state of mind behind the original author.
No wonder, Jin Yucheng is relieved to hand over the ** to Wong Kar-wai, who is not the highest bidder.
The stories are different, the characters have different endings, and even the styles are different.
But the authentic floral taste, the same.
When I first watched "Flowers", I was worried at first that Wong Kar-wai seemed to have gone too far.
As a 30-episode long drama, Wong Kar-wai rarely adopts a craftsman-style production method, with four years of preparation and more than three years of filming, and a scene can be filmed nearly 40 times, only with a single camera, because the actors are more beautiful ...... filmed in this way
The bigger risk is: Wong Kar-wai is equivalent to making 15 movies in 30 episodes, but can the audience eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas?
For Chinese dramas, "Flowers" brings the most dreamy imagination into reality, and the core of Wong Kar-wai's creation is "romance", not only the story technique, but also his shooting itself is a romantic adventure.
Fortunately, judging from the ending, commercially, "Flowers" at least did not lose. The Goose Factory bet won.
Wong Kar-wai was standing and filming.
The whole drama of "Flowers" seems to be eloquent, but every wave is the finishing touch.
Those who can't watch it will give up after two episodes, but the audience who watches it, especially after watching a few episodes, will really get into the play, and the more you watch it, the more addicted you become, and the more you watch it, the more you feel good.
This is, of course, because Wong Kar-wai's table of delicacies and delicacies from the mountains and seas has both the outside and the inside.
The table is a beautiful image.
The base of "Flowers" is a craftsman-style carving and polishing, and the Oscar-winning camera takes the shot, photographing the flickering neon lights in front of the gate from the Yellow River Road to the Zhenyuan, and the staggered dining room with doors, windows, and partitions blocking the light and shadow.
The graceful Li Li and Mr. Bao respect each other through the window, and Shanghai under the lens of Wong Kar-wai can be described as brilliant and romantic.
It is not easy for other TV series to have a theme song out of the circle, Wong Kar-wai made the BGM of "Flowers" into a Chinese nostalgic golden song program: the bright Yellow River Road, Coke, cash, big brother, with a strong mark of the times, with classic old songs such as "Looking Back Again", "Stealing the Heart", "Casual Fate", "Obsessed", etc., let the older generation have an aftertaste and the younger generation of audiences are fascinated.
Wong Kar-wai's aesthetics are by no means in vain.
Lizi is a good story.
The business war drama is the skeleton of the story of "Flowers".
From the hot sale of Sanyang brand T-shirts, the defense of Li Li to Zhenyuan of Mr. Bao, to the dismantling of Mr. Qiang and Mr. Qiang, the plot is like a cloud and water, which is exciting.
After watching the whole drama, the plot rhythm is tight, and it never drags on the mud and water. Several key conflict nodes are also rendered very movingly.
It turns out that Wong Kar-wai is not only a master of video, but also a master of storytelling.
The series doesn't stop at business wars.
Instead, he completed a picture of the Qingming Riverside of the Shanghai Well in the 90s.
When the fireworks on the Yellow River Road are trivial, it also paves the warmest background of the whole play.
The business war drama of the era, it turned out that it could be filmed like this.
It can be nervous, but it can also be lively.
Before that, the audience and the industry were not sure: can and deserve to play such a big game in the national drama?
And the ratings of "Flowers" actually answer this question best.
The audience is always willing to eat a good meal, if domestic business war dramas and period dramas are filmed like this, why worry about no audience!
The casting of the cast of "Flowers" has had a lot of discussions in the early stage of the play.
But judging from the results, under the meticulous work, many actors have been excavated with new screen charm.
It turns out that Wong Kar-wai does not have a script on the scene, and the biggest reason is that he never lets the characters serve the story, but lets the story serve the characters.
As a result, many people contributed several highlight performances.
is like Dong Yong said: Cooperating with Wong Kar-wai is a blessing for three lives.
This is not because of Wong Kar-wai's big name, but because he knows how to tap the best side of the actor.
Especially Xin Zhilei, her performance greatly exceeded my expectations, one is beauty.
Whether it is the bright and moving red dress at the time of appearance, or the elegant and noble black dress at the end, wearing it on Xin Zhilei gives people the feeling of a beauty who came out of the pictorial in the 90s.
The second is outstanding acting skills.
Li Li landed on the Yellow River Road with 30 million yuan and hired the best hotel team with 3 times the salary, stirring up the situation on the Yellow River Road with a catfish attitude, and is a sassy, courageous, brainy, and determined female overlord.
But in the finale, she is an infatuated woman trapped by love, and such a character conflict was actually played by Xin Zhilei just right.
The most unexpected is of course Miss Wang played by Tang Yan.
In the Yellow River Road, which is full of "abacus sounds", Miss Wang is the one who has no heart.
But it's also the one that wins the most beautiful in the finale.
In order to polish the role of Miss Wang, Tang Yan did not take on the scene for three years and experienced the encounter of "repeating a certain shot 86 times".
But many marketing accounts that complained about her acting skills were really wrong, and repeated filming was not the reason for poor acting skills, Tony Leung and Carina Lau also repeated filming Wong Kar-wai's scenes to doubt life.
repeated filming in order to polish the character perfectly, and in the end, Tang Yan's performance was really reborn.
Even if it is a supporting role, there are quite a few outstanding ones, such as Mr. Fan played by Dong Yong.
He has been giggling, and the story line has continued until the end, and it has always intersected with the protagonist's plot.
This character who looks like an old fox at the beginning, the more he gets to the end, the more cute he becomes, and the human touch that is nothing more than human affection outside of buying and selling can't be stopped.
In the end, he played the eight words that Mr. Fan remembered, "People want to look like pigs, and their hearts are clear", absolutely absolutely.
Magnolia looked at Wu Yue's section chief Jin, with few lines and no highlights.
But with Wu Yue's subtle eye drama, he insisted on performing the female version of his uncle's perception, and the relationship between Section Chief Jin and his uncle in the finale is also evocative.
There is also the most pungent role played by Fan Xiangyan - Lu Meilin, she has completely played this role, and from then on, she should be the top three candidates for similar roles in Chinese dramas.
There is also Wang Ju, whose performance is more and more amazing every time, and this time she beats the class, especially the scene where Mei Ping finally met her uncle, her acting skills have not been covered by the old drama bones at all, which is really impressive.
But the wonderful performance of all the members did not drown out Hu Ge's acting skills.
After this drama, I personally think that Hu Ge can be regarded as a real acting transformation after completing "Langya Bang".
If Mei Changsu is a perfect match for his personal experience, his acting skills exploded, and he played a bit of a super level.
Then Mr. Bao of "Flowers" can be regarded as Hu Ge's acting skills and truly stabilized himself in the position of a first-line acting student.
Hu Ge's performance in the early stage highlighted a warmth.
After being hit, he treated people generously, got along with his uncle and brother Tao Tao, and led Xiao Lehui's old friends to make money.
After the second half of the ** fight begins, highlight a steady.
On the surface, it looks a little gentle, but in fact, it is a tough guy temperament in his bones.
No matter how great the difficulties are encountered, no matter how many setbacks are suffered, the eyes are always looking forward without the slightest retreat.
But in the last few scenes of the finale, Hu Ge completed the sublimation of his acting skills and performed the character's loneliness.
The flowers are gone, although it is to seek benevolence, but in the end, there are a few scenes, and Hu Ge completely performs the loneliness of Bao's lonely family.
Especially in the scene where I watched the lights of the Oriental Pearl with everyone, the more people there were, the more lonely I was when I was no longer Mr. Bao.
Hu Ge is Ah Bao.
After Li Xiaoyao and Mei Changsu, Hu Ge also has his third, a real classic role.
In the end, it is the most exciting acting in the whole play, You Benchang.
If I were to rate his performance, I don't think it's too much to give him a score of 10.
Uncle is a real businessman, the business is decisive, and the employment of people is forward, not backward.
But many people misunderstand their uncle because of this, the more ruthless he is to outsiders, the warmer he is to his own people.
He regarded Ah Bao as the continuation and embodiment of his dreams, so when he saw Ah Bao being so childlike in business, he left a sentence and left angrily
I tried my best to calculate the affairs of the Huangpu River for Bao, and all you have in mind is the Suzhou Creek."
But if Ah Bao kills Miss Wang, Ah Bao is not Ah Bao.
Flowers are not flowers.
What exactly is "Flowers"?It is the alternation of the times, the warmth and coldness of human feelings, the Huangpu River that everyone can't let go, and the Suzhou Creek that everyone can't pass.
I like a passage from my uncle in "Flowers": "We are just ordinary people who work part-time to earn some money, so don't worry too much about many things, just work hard when you go to work, and rest well after work."
Some people say that you are good, and they say that you are bad.
Always remind yourself that you are nothing in the eyes of others.
In front of your family, you are half the sky. ”
Life is nothing more than this, "Flowers" is over, and life must go on.
It's still good for Hu Ge to say: at this moment, "it doesn't make the loudest noise".
