Good guy, Hu Ge, who is dedicated to doing practical things in the film and television industry, has released a new drama! Before
started airing, I looked at the director. It was Wong Kar-Wai, a top-level famous director in China. He was solid.
Take a look at the actors. Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Xin Zhilei, You Benchang, Tang Yan, Chen Long, Zheng Kai, Wu Yue, etc. are all strong and stable.
Looking at the creation time, it took a full 10 years of energy and 3 years of filming to create a masterpiece that is even more stable.
This drama is about "Flowers". Before the broadcast of
, it was the year-end CCTV New Year's Eve finale that was highly anticipated by the public and highly anticipated by netizens. After
started broadcasting, it has indeed gained popularity. The online broadcast platform has released 4 episodes, and 2 episodes of the eight songs have been updated. The average viewership exceeded 2 in the first 10 minutes of broadcasting.
is indeed the number one hit at the end of the year that netizens are looking forward to. It is the most popular one on the entire network and it is well deserved.
However, what surprised Sister Yu was that when she clicked on the comment section of this popular drama with the potential to be a hit, there were a lot of negative reviews about abandoned dramas.
What on earth is going on?
is obviously the most anticipated hit drama of the year, but its reputation is extremely polarizing. Could it be that the middle-aged top male star Hu Ge no longer resists the drama?
"Flowers" has a very prosperous picture.
From the beginning, it is full of entertainment, lively and prosperous, coupled with music that makes people sway.
The fireworks of Shanghai and the smell of urban glitz burst out together.
Abao, played by Hu Ge, appears in a suit and tie. He is quite handsome and chic. He has a bit of the charm and charm of Tony Leung in "Lust, Caution", "In the Mood for Love" and "2046".
Sure enough, Wong Kar-wai is worthy of being Wong Kar-wai, and he has a very stable grasp of the film quality, actor image, and lens language.
The tone of light and shadow is particularly friendly to the audience's vision. It combines virtual and real, dark but not boring. It is obviously a black tone, but it allows you to feel the strong vitality and sunshine.
In addition, the overall picture is warm and harmonious. Every screenshot of the streets, alleys, background props, and details of the service road is a life blockbuster full of market spirit.
This movie quality is really amazing.
However, the picture of "Flowers" is really too prosperous!
The camera switching is quite urgent, and every scene shows the characters busy.
coupled with the fast-paced narrative plot, the editing of several eras is constantly switching, and the stories of the characters are told interspersedly.
gives Sister Yu a feeling that it is impetuous, noisy, and lively. The picture is busy, the characters are busy, and the audience's eyeballs are busy!
The whole picture is too complicated and confusing, and the story line is too illogical. It makes people feel tired after watching it!
After watching two episodes, Sister Yu still can’t understand what the main story is about?
What are the characters of the supporting characters in the drama, what are their names, what are their functions, and what is their relationship with the male and female protagonists.
As some netizens commented, this drama sometimes resembles the bustling and glitzy Shanghai of the Republic of China, and sometimes resembles the Shanghai of the 1980s and 1990s.
You don’t know which era you are watching, which makes it difficult to get into the drama.
By the way, in 1993, when the spring breeze of reform was sweeping across the land, was Shanghai really the same as it was in the Republic of China, where people were feasting and living in extravagance and extravagance?
Anyway, Sister Loulan Yu felt a sense of trance and surprise. The timeline was wrong, the story line was wrong, the space, location, and characters were also wrong!
Just one word, I feel the exaggeration and prosperity of "Flowers"!
The plot of "Flowers" is very "busy"
Some people say that the award-winning novel "Flowers" originally has a slow narrative style, and the bustling scenes are understandable.
Great Shanghai, whether it is the late Republic of China or the 1980s and 1990s, as one of the three largest cities in China, it has always been prosperous!
But Sister Yu never expected that the plot of this drama is also very "busy"!
This drama opens with a car accident. I can understand that the director wants to use suspense + reverse sequence to whet the audience's appetite.
It lasted two full episodes. From the early stages of Po's car accident, to the chaos and noise around him when the car accident occurred, and then to the famous rescue scene that lasted for several minutes when Po was rescued, most of the shots were flashy.
Overall, it highlights Po's identity and status, as well as everyone's reaction after his car accident.
But until that time, I had not figured out the relationship between the heroine Lingzi played by Ma Yili and Miss Wang played by Tang Yan and the male protagonist.
To be honest, Wong Kar-wai's shooting techniques are considered very advanced in TV dramas.
But this is only suitable for movies, not TV series.
Once the plot of the story is extended, this kind of flashy and flashy shots will make people feel boring, annoying, verbose, and even a little noisy.
Sure enough, Wong Kar-wai switched to filming TV series, but he also became acclimatized.
This is really similar to Guo Jingming's "Yun Zhi Yu" which premiered this year.
However, "Cloud Feather" wins in terms of plot, screen space and actors' acting skills.
But what does "Flowers" have?
Yujie bit the bullet and watched four episodes because of the fame and acting skills of the top male star Hu Ge. She really found that the plot was weak, like a child playing house, which made people want to abandon the show. The content of the four episodes of
is that the male protagonist started out speculating in stocks, and later engaged in foreign trade. We don’t know exactly what kind of business he did.
The male protagonist was discussing business with Boss Fan. They talked back and forth until finally they realized that they were buying clothes. The gimmicks were great, but the result was mediocre. The cause of the male protagonist's car accident in
was revealed. It was because he was too powerful that he was targeted by the local chamber of commerce, who manipulated him and made him a scapegoat for stock trading.
The roots of his hair, which had become rich along with him, were suddenly thrown into thousands of dollars, and he lost all his money. He had no choice but to commit suicide. The son avenged his father and hit A Bao.
As for the details of the business war, the play's description is quite superficial, almost bluffing.
has a bit of a business war flavor at the beginning, but later it is all about the extreme pulling and scheming of the new bosses of Golden Phoenix, Li Li, Mr. Fan, Mr. Wei and A Bao.
Isn’t it just to attend an opening ceremony? The boss lady Li Li and Abao fight and play tricks on each other, which makes people feel embarrassed and almost have cancer.
Are all Shanghainese really so rude and dishonest? Can’t we talk openly and do business?
This is just the plot. Better dramas can be finished in two episodes, but "Flowers" dragged on for a full 4 episodes.
The characters in "Flowers" are also very "prosperous"
In fact, Po's youthful look when he appeared on the scene in 1987 is quite satisfying.
Hu Ge, who has entered middle age, can still act like a young man in his twenties and thirties who only wants to make a lot of money, which is enough to show that his acting skills are there.
But since he rented the Peace Hotel, put on the high-quality shirts, high-quality suits, and high-quality leather shoes custom-made by his uncle, and his whole body was packaged with famous brands, Po started to "dress up".
He became handsome and chic, and he also had the taste of a successful man in the business world of that era.
But I feel that such a character is really far away from our reality, and it is difficult for people to sympathize with his joys, sorrows, joys and flashy life. The character design of
is really a bit unrealistic and has a "dream-like" feel.
What is surprising is the heroine Lingzi played by Ma Yili!
As a Tokyo night boss who has an ambiguous relationship with Po, she either buys necklaces or rings every day. In the end, these expenses will be deducted from the shareholder Po's money.
So, did A Bao spend a huge sum of money to raise a gorgeous and greedy landlady, or did he open a small restaurant?
Especially Lingzi, who walks awkwardly and speaks with a high voice every day. She is more coquettish than a coquettish girl. Will Abao really like this kind of woman?
Not only that, the other female bosses in this show also have similar character designs.
At first, Ms. Wang, played by Tang Yan, appeared wearing glasses, which made Sister Yu's eyes brighten.
didn't expect that she would also talk with a high voice every day, nagging to Abao, saying: "I am Cinderella, not Snow White", which made people's jaws drop.
There are also the former boss lady Jin Fenghuang and Lu Meilin played by Fan Tiantian. These women are like this.
They are either flirting or showing off their coquettishness. They all speak in a fast and squeaky voice, almost making the squeaky sound loud and clear. They are like little birds, chirping very noisily.
Are all the female bosses in Shanghai in the 1990s like this? Do you all like to talk with your voice high? Are they all so pretentious and pretentious?
Also, so many women can open shops and become proprietresses in Shanghai?
The only person who feels amazing is Xin Zhilei.
Her calm and restrained expression method, through her expressions, eyes and body, fully interprets Li Li's unique style of being smart, wise, scheming, sinister and enchanting, making people feel that the character is more down-to-earth.
In short, after watching the four episodes of "Flowers", Yu Jie's overall feeling is: the scenes and shots are very pretentious, the characters are very pretentious, and the story and plot are also very pretentious. It is almost a "pretend" competition between the characters.
The director and editor seem to be arrogant in every frame, showing off their skills, the editing is messy, the camera is too fast, and there are too many narrations, which makes people dizzy, but they can't see the reason.
is not a bit suspended, nor is it flashy and prosperous.
After watching it, I always felt that it had nothing to do with me and it was difficult to get into the drama. This made Sister Yu worried about Hu Ge's new drama.
However, this drama has only been updated for 4 episodes so far. I wonder if the subsequent business war and love story lines between Li Li and Abao can restore the reputation of this drama and make it a hit at the end of the year?
Today's topic:
1. What do you think of the overall look and feel of Hu Ge's new drama "Flowers"? Is it worth three years as an actor?
2. Do you think Hu Ge’s acting skills are good? Is his role as Po different from other previous roles?
3. Hu Ge's acting in "County Party Committee Courtyard" was criticized for being a bit pretentious and not very down-to-earth. Does this drama also have such problems?
4. What do you think of the performance of the three actresses Ma Yili, Xin Zhilei and Tang Yan in the play?
5. Do you think "Flowers" can become this year's big hit drama like "Horse" at the beginning of the year and "Sauvignon Blanc" in the middle of the year?
Welcome everyone to pay attention to "Sister Loulan Yu" and watch dramas, watch movies and gossip together~~
