"Flowers" is definitely a hit that will be launched at the end of this year. I thought Qin Hao's "Three Brigades" was already a ceiling-level masterpiece, but it turned out that the TV series "Flowers" was already.
not only invited Hu Ge, the first brother, and You Benchang, who has not been active in film and television dramas for a long time, but also invited the film master Wong Kar-wai to check the plot style of the entire drama.
Judging from the quality of the premiere of "Flowers", regardless of whether the market can accept such themes and styles, at least in terms of reputation and artistry, "Flowers" has reached the next level.
And more importantly, the male protagonist Abao of "Flowers" is the core of the whole drama. Hu Ge's portrayal is the highlight of the plot, but aside from Hu Ge's performance, every female in the drama The characters are all great.
Wong Kar-wai's shots are full of polish. Objectively speaking, Xin Zhilei is not really a stunning beauty in the actor field, but in "Flowers", every scene of Xin Zhilei is a pleasing art painting. Wong Kar-wai almost photographed Xin Zhilei. The most beautiful angle, the most beautiful look.
It is reported that "Flowers" was shot with a single camera. When others asked Wong Kar-wai why he chose to shoot with a single camera in the era of multi-camera shooting.
Wong Kar-Wai gave the simplest reason: with light like , the girls look good in the photos.
Comparing Xin Zhilei under normal lighting with Xin Zhilei in "Flowers", you will find that her beauty is really magnified by Wong Kar-wai.
The director is very good at filming, and the actors are also very good at acting.
Li Li, played by Xin Zhilei, is a three-dimensional and complex character. She is charming, sexy, and bold at the same time. Xin Zhilei perfectly integrates these two completely different attributes into one character, which is very eye-catching.
Tang Yan, who plays Miss Wang, completely exceeded the audience's expectations for her. Who would have thought that Tang Yan, who was known to the audience for her silly and sweet acting skills in idol dramas, would be able to play a free and capable professional woman to perfection under the guidance of the director.
Her Shanghainese dialect is authentic and delicious, and she is very sure of many details. Her performance rhythm is orderly in chaos, which quickly establishes the character of the character. In the first episode, Ms. Wang had very few scenes, but Tang Yan quickly caught the audience's attention.
As for Lingzi played by Ma Yili, she is reliable and righteous. As a boss, she loves money but is not greedy for money, and is smooth but not philistine. In the scene opposite Lingzi and Abao, Ma Yili's relaxed expressiveness and natural poisonous tongue make women The charm is vividly displayed.
Of course, there are also outstanding female supporting characters. The role played by Papi Jiang is Ma Yiliâs best friend in the play. Judging from her personal label, Papi Jiang is really not suitable for acting, but in "Flowers", Papi Jiangâs performance is not at all Although she looks like an Internet celebrity, she speaks Shanghainese very well, and the characters she creates are natural, elegant, and often interesting.
Most of the actors chosen by Wong Kar-Wai have a strong sense of Shanghai, including Fan Tantan and Huang Ling. Their roles are not heavy, but when they appear in the plot, they are suitable for humor and have a full accent.
Looking at the cast list alone, "Flowers" is indeed a lot of surprises in the choice of actresses. The guest actors Wu Yue, Lin Xilei, Wang Ju, and Zheng Xiyi who will also appear in the future are all familiar faces to the audience.
But among the plots that have been launched, the most eye-catching one is Hu Geâs wife.
The TV series "Flowers" was filmed three years ago. Fans joked that it took three years to make a TV series. But now, the three years of waiting are not in vain at all, but three years are enough to change a lot. .
Three years ago, Xin Zhilei was still highly regarded as an actor. The broadcast of "Flowers and Young Silk Road Season" gradually made the audience get to know her, and they were completely conquered by her Northeastern humorous attributes. Now "Flowers" is online , the contrast between Xin Zhilei's acting and life made the audience see her charm.
Also three years ago, Hu Ge was still a golden bachelor in the eyes of the outside world, but now he has a wife and a wife. After Hu Ge officially announced his marriage status this year, Hu Ge's wife Huang Xining also became a figure of public discussion.
The first episode of the TV series "Flowers" was released, and sharp-eyed viewers discovered that Hu Ge's wife appeared in the extras.
The camera flashed by, but from the blurred camera, you can also clearly see the facial features of Hu Geâs wife. She is thin and has a very simple shape. She looks low-key, but her profile is very three-dimensional and her forehead is full. , delicate eyebrows, and a highly recognizable big mouth, all allow the audience to recognize her at a glance.
In the shot, she is standing next to Chen Long. The character has no lines and no complete frontal shot, but she still has a strong sense of presence.
In fact, given the conditions of Hu Geâs wife Huang Xining, through packaging and building in the entertainment industry, she can become an actress with an outstanding image and online aura.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that Huang Xining dresses so low-key in the drama and looks even more elegant than Ma Yili.
Itâs no wonder that Hu Ge, the dream lover of thousands of female viewers, would eventually fall into her hands.
Unfortunately, Huang Xining has the aura and appearance to become an actor, but she is still the woman behind Hu Ge.
Over the years, Hu Ge's relationship status has been kept secret from the outside world. From "Flowers", we can see that at least 3 years ago, Huang Xining has become Hu Ge's most trusted person, accompanying him to the set for filming, and occasionally They may even fill in the vacancies for extra performers.
Huang Xining is Hu Geâs best helper in life and work. Now that Huang Xining has a status and has been officially announced and recognized by Hu Ge, even though there are a lot of controversies on the Internet about the incompatibility between the two, emotions are something that one knows well.
Moreover, even without the recognition of Hu Geâs wife, Huang Xining is still a successful woman. She can step by step from makeup artist, styling assistant, to the executive manager of a top male star. It is difficult to say that she needs Hu Ge more. Looking down on her recognition, Hu Ge still needs her ability and help more.
At present, the TV series "Flowers" is still on the air. The episode of Huang Xining in the first episode has once again pushed the relationship between Hu Ge and Huang Xining into a hot topic of public opinion. However, the quality of the drama "Flowers" is online. The appearance of Huang Xining will not affect the reputation of the entire drama.
For the melon-eating masses, Hu Ge bringing his wife into the group is at best a piece of gossip. "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-Wai is full of the flavor of the times and has a strong sense of destiny, which makes it more worthy of the audience's attention.
Finally, what do you think of Huang Xining who acted as an extra in the first episode? How would you rate the performance of "Flowers"? Join the discussion in the comment section.
