A good movie can make you fall into the drama in one second.
The same is true for good TV series! "Flowers" premiered for 4 episodes, and I watched 4 episodes without wasting a second.
was so absorbed that I ate half of the fruit plate I prepared. Even though the fruit is sweet, it still tastes a little worse than the best movies and TV shows.
After the show was aired, the ratings of China Central Television's eight channels soared, and it immediately ranked first in the country's ratings.
This result proves that there are many viewers who feel the charm of "Flowers" just like me!
After watching 4 episodes in a row, I have to sigh, Hu Ge has got another good script, and he is going to be popular again! And Wong Kar-wai is indeed a great director, with eye-catching lens editing and first-rate storytelling.
glanced at Douban after watching it, and the reviews given by the audience were surprisingly consistent, with several pages of positive reviews!
1: Entering the drama
In Shanghai in 1992, neon lights were eye-catching and thousands of flowers bloomed in the sea.
Abao (played by Hu Ge) has great ambitions and seeks to gain support in the market, in order to seize the fleeting opportunities in the rolling world, ride on the wind and become the most successful businessman on the Yellow River Road.
Abao's hair is neatly combed, his suit is crisp, and his tie is eye-catching, walking through the neon-lit nightclubs of Shanghai.
He is full of confidence and radiant. When doing business here, the most important thing is to give others a reliable feeling. The quality of his clothes is his character, and he must not be careless in his work on the scene.
On this day, Po went to the appointment as scheduled, took a box full of money, and walked out of the door gracefully.
Outside the door, cameras kept flashing, and everyone greeted A Bao. His confident smile showed that he was extraordinary.
However, the moment Abao opened the car door, a bright light flashed through, which made Abao unable to open his eyes.
Then, a yellow taxi crashed directly towards Po. With a bang, Po was knocked to the ground, his face was covered in blood, his suitcase was knocked open, and money was scattered everywhere.
Ever since, Abao was sent to the hospital.
was rescued and his life is safe.
However, the hospital corridor was in chaos, and Po's friends were chattering.
However, an old man came over and waved his hand, and the scene immediately became quiet. He came to A Bao and asked A Bao if he still recognized him.
This person is none other than Jigong!
Ah, no, it’s uncle!
Uncle Ye is Abao’s first business partner and can also be said to be his strategist.
My uncle was born to be a genius in business. At that time, Abao was sincere enough to lure his uncle out of the business.
He did whatever his uncle asked him to do. Even if he lost money, he would do it. Even if he made a lot of money, he would not forget the promise. Holding a sack of money, he waited for his uncle on the road for a whole day.
Such tenacity is what my uncle hopes to see.
If you want to do big business, you have to play house like a child. If you don’t have the ability to withstand pressure and have no credit, you won’t be able to achieve big things.
As soon as the story of A Bao and Uncle Ye was finished, I was completely immersed in the drama before I knew it.
How did Abao make his fortune?
Who are his friends in that circle?
Why was he hit?
Who was the person who hit him?
What grudges are there between Po and the murderer?
One scene throws away so much baggage and leads to the main plot of "Flowers".
2: I have finished watching the first 4 episodes of
"Prosperity".
There are only two words in my mind now!
Mr. Bao!
Hey guys, after watching these four episodes, my mind is filled with images of Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge, Jane! Don't be too cool!
After watching 4 episodes of "Flowers", if you ask me what my first impression was, I would say it was an illusion of time and space.
I don’t know whether it’s the old Shanghai under Wong Kar-wai’s lens that is too beautiful, or whether Shanghai in the 1990s was just like that.
The yellow and dazzling neon lights always give people a dreamlike feeling, making people unable to believe that this is Shanghai in the 1990s.
The first two episodes of "Flowers" mainly set up the plot, using a car accident to elicit everyone's reaction to Mr. Bao's injury.
Then, the main plot begins to be laid. Characters appear one after another, with different ages and different professions, but with the same expectation of making money.
Before watching "Flowers", I thought that Wong Kar-wai was going to make "Flowers" into a love drama. In this trailer, it is Tang Yan, Ma Yili, and Xin Zhilei. Whichever one comes out, they may be in the same group as Mr. Bao Yes.
After reading it, I found that I still underestimated Wong Kar-wai's ability and misjudged his romance.
I dare not tell the story behind it, but in the first four episodes, Hu Ge plays Abao, who is a real upstart in business. His entrepreneurial journey is thrilling, and the way he talks about business and strategizing is simply not too interesting.
can make a domineering president look down-to-earth and cool. Wong Kar-Wai's ability is really unmatched.
3: How was the performance?
After watching 4 episodes of "Flowers", most of the main characters have basically appeared. Overall, I feel that the acting skills of all the members are excellent, and there is not a single character that is holding back. It seems that Wong Kar-wai's efforts to improve the work have played a big role. effect.
Among the many actors, there are three actors whose roles have left a deep impression on me.
One, You Benchang
In the play, You Benchang plays the role of uncle.
is A Bao's military advisor. Uncle Ye is a talented person in business matters and helps A Bao in everything. It was my uncle who helped A Bao earn his first pot of gold. After A Bao was injured, it was his uncle who stepped in to help A Bao stabilize the situation.
To be honest, before watching "Flowers", I saw that You Benchang was participating in this drama. I really thought that he was just here to join the scene. He would not have too many roles, just to support the scene. After all, You Benchang is already 90 Age waits for no one.
However, after watching 4 episodes, I discovered that You Benchang turned out to be the first surprise of the show. Under his portrayal, the uncle is full of flesh and blood and glorious. He does not have many roles, but as long as he appears, it must be a highlight scene.
In several scenes, You Benchang and Hu Ge were paired together, and they always stole the limelight.
It seems that an old actor is an old actor, and a teacher is a teacher. Hu Ge and You Benchang are acting together. Hu Ge has found a good teacher this time.
Second, Hu Ge
In this drama, Hu Ge plays Abao. As mentioned before, after watching a few episodes, there are only two words in my mind, that is Abao. The words "Abao" called out by various characters almost made my ears tingle.
Of course, every sound of "Abao" is accompanied by Hu Ge's handsome figure. Under his shaping, Abao's different clothes have different charms, and different eyes have different coolness.
suit, tie, watch, walking slowly.
To be honest, even Po looks so handsome with a cane. After watching the entire 4 episodes of
, Hu Ge’s performance should be said to have successfully completed the role. He took on the responsibilities that a protagonist should have.
Thirdly, in addition to the two protagonists, Dong Yong
's performance in a supporting role is eye-catching.
This person is Dong Yong, who plays Mr. Fan.
Before watching "Flowers", Dong Yong had many scenes in the trailer and his exaggerated acting skills. At that time, I thought he was just a walk-on. However, after watching several scenes in a row, the more I watch, the more interesting it becomes.
This time, Dong Yong was different from the past. He did not hold back his performance, but let himself go. Whether it was body movements or facial expressions, they were all open and closed.
is rustic in speech, loves to brag, and is vain, but he is also thoughtful.
looks like a real businessman at first glance.
I personally look forward to Dong Yong's performance in the subsequent plots. I hope he can continue to amaze the audience and contribute more highlight scenes.
4: What to watch next?
After Abao was hit, everyone related to him was called for questioning. And from this, more information about Abao also unfolded.
A Bao followed his uncle and made a big business, and soon he became the most popular businessman on the Yellow River Road. As the business grew bigger and bigger, Po's role as a child was gradually noticed by the big bosses of the Qilin Society, who agreed to make a lot of money with him.
However, a game that was originally designed to test Po turned into a big mistake because of information leaked by Po's friends. In order to make a big fortune, Uncle Gen invested all his property, but lost everything. He couldn't bear the pressure and passed away.
Commander Cai’s little lover, the proprietress of the Golden Phoenix Restaurant, also went in to kill him, but she also lost everything. As for the mysterious Qilin Society, it was not much better, and it also suffered a big setback.
It turns out that because Commander Cai leaked the news, Qilin Society suffered huge losses, and the bosses planned to kick Abao out. After Uncle Gen's death, his son put the account on A Bao's head. In anger, in order to take revenge, he hit A Bao with his car.
The case was not difficult to investigate. As the boss of Night Tokyo, Reiko had many means and connections, and it didn't take long to find out everything.
Faced with Commander Cai leaking the news, Abao did not blame Commander Cai, but took care of it for him. Because Po's first pot of gold in the early years was achieved with the help of Commander Cai, and he wanted to return the favor.
However, one wave after another, the owner of Golden Phoenix Restaurant ran away, and a new boss Li Li came! She spent a huge sum of money to purchase this hotel, and then spent a huge sum of money to pack it up. Suddenly, Zhizhenyuan would become a new upstart on the Yellow River Road.
Before Zhizhen Garden even opened, Li Li had already started to make arrangements. He invited celebrities from all walks of life, and even movie stars. However, who is the most popular among the businessmen on Huanghe Road, it belongs to Mr. Bao who was just hit by a car.
Li Li made several invitations, hoping to take advantage of Mr. Bao's popularity to get off to a good start, but was rejected every time.
Since then, Li Li has taken up the idea of Mr. Fan (played by Dong Yong), Mr. Bao’s partner, and wants to use Mr. Fan to force Mr. Bao to come out and gain personal support. Mr. Ke Bao saw through everything from the beginning and allowed Li Li to interfere, but he remained unmoved. In the latest plot of
, Mr. Wei wants to cooperate with Mr. Fan to steal Mr. Bao’s orders.
However, what he didn't expect was that Mr. Fan had a massive order in his hand. With his ability, he couldn't even handle it.
Ever since, Mr. Wei spent a lot of money in vain, and all the joy was in vain, but he made a wedding dress for Mr. Bao.
However, the business war on the Yellow River Road has just begun. The cooperation between Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan has demonstrated their strength. But at the same time, he also made enemies in this battle. Among other things, Li Li, the owner of Zhizhenyuan, and Mr. Wei must be dissatisfied with him.
So, whether Mr. Bao can continue to dominate the shopping mall, and how his duel with Li Li will develop, will be the biggest highlight in the subsequent plot. After all, in the business world, you still have to compete in business.
