On December 27, the much-anticipated "Flowers" finally started airing. This drama became popular before it was aired. It was frequently searched before it aired, causing discussion. Judging from the ratings trend on the day of the premiere, the situation is not good. Although the ratings exceeded 2, the ratings have declined since the second episode, which feels like a high start and a low start.
However, it has just started airing, and you can wait and see in the future. After all, this drama has a very strong lineup. The director is Wong Kar-Wai, and the starring roles are Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, and Xin Zhilei, all heavyweights.
In addition, the play also has You Benchang, Zheng Kai, Chen Long, Wu Yue, Fan Tantan, Wang Ju, Papi Jiang, Wen Zhaolun, etc., which can be said to be an all-star lineup.
As far as the plot of the first four episodes is concerned, the male protagonist Mr. Bao encountered a car accident at the beginning, and then the scene changed and the time returned to 1987, telling how he changed from A Bao to Mr. Bao under the guidance of the noble uncle. of.
Then, the story returns to the present. Mr. Bao woke up from the hospital, learned the cause of the car accident, and confessed his grudges with Qilinhui.
At the same time, Mr. Bao had contacts with Lingzi, the boss of Night Tokyo, and Miss Wang from the Foreign Trade Building. Then, the mysterious woman Li Li parachuted down Huanghe Road and opened Zhizhen Garden. Mr. Wei appeared on the stage to compete with Mr. Bao for business. I have to say that the first four episodes are quite rich in content and the pace is relatively fast.
Hu Ge's performance in the drama is stable and relatively less controversial. The three actresses have caused a lot of discussion. Let’s talk about the heroine Ma Yili first. She plays Lingzi, the boss of Night Tokyo and Abao’s partner. She helped him a lot. When Abao was hospitalized in a car accident, it was Lingzi who took his place. Advance fees.
Reiko is very resourceful. When Po is in trouble, she always clears the way for him. They are not only partners, but also confidante. Regarding the relationship between the two, Ma Yili said this, "They are dependent on each other and independent of each other."
Hu Ge said that it is the relationship between Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, Lingzi is Sun Wukong, Abao is Zhu Bajie, and she kills demons for him.
Ma Yili's performance in the drama is mediocre and satisfactory. As the heroine, it seems that she doesn't have many bright spots so far. She has short hair as always and is said to be a micro-business person.
Ma Yili is a native of Shanghai and speaks Shanghainese fluently. Her scenes opposite Hu Ge looked more natural, but some people said that she looked like Luo Zijun in everything she played, and her acting skills were questioned.
Miss Wang, played by Tang Yan, has the same emotional entanglement with the male protagonist Abao. There is a line in the play that describes Mr. Bao, "The left hand is doing foreign trade, the right hand is stock trading, and the momentum is unstoppable." And Miss Wang is in foreign trade. They work in a building and have business dealings with each other.
Not only that, Miss Wang is affectionate to Mr. Bao. When he had a car accident, she was willing to dig out his eyes and replace them. When Mr. Wei was trying to steal business, Ms. Wang was the first to stand up and refute.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Miss Wang is also Mr. Bao’s confidante and fully supports him. Tang Yan is very subversive in the play. She has long curly hair, fashionable clothes, sometimes wears glasses, and her appearance is quite suitable for urban white-collar workers.
Tang Yan's acting skills are full of controversy. She always makes noises in the play. I don't know if it's because of her character or the way she performs. It feels like she's not much different from the silly and sweet person she played before.
After the premiere of "Flowers", the feedback on Tang Yan's acting skills was not very optimistic. Some people in the comment area said that she was in the drama, while others said that she quit the drama because of her.
Finally, there is Li Li, played by Xin Zhilei. Her identity is mysterious. As the boss of Zhizhenyuan, she sets her sights on Mr. Bao, but she can properly handle the relationship with Mr. Wei. She has both sides and is comprehensive. It's not simple.
Xin Zhilei is the last among the leading actors, but she is also the most stunning. At 37 years old, she is the youngest among the leading actors. She is well-maintained and can withstand all kinds of close-ups.
To be honest, Xin Zhilei in this drama is quite surprising. Firstly, her image is bright and charming, and charming. Under the lens of Wong Kar-Wai, Xin Zhilei is so beautiful and has a high-end feel. She is very suitable for this kind of Hong Kong style makeup. Very charming.
The second is her role. Unlike Lingzi and Miss Wang who fully support Abao, Li Li played by Xin Zhilei is both a collaborator and opponent of Abao.
Hu Ge once described the relationship between A Bao and Li Li, "The sky and the sea, seemingly far away from each other, look after each other."
Indeed, as he said, Li Li and Abao have a mirror-image relationship. In the first 4 episodes, although the two have not officially met, they can tell what the other is thinking just by looking at each other. The atmosphere of extreme tension between the two strong men. feel.
After the show was aired, Xin Zhilei's character was very charming, and her acting was vivid and natural, so she received a lot of praise and received good reviews.
However, although Xin Zhilei has been praised by many people, the reputation of the drama "Flowers" is polarized. Some people say it has a movie quality, while others think the style is not like the 1990s, but like the 1930s. , and some people think it is not even as good as "Tiny Times", and there are quite a lot of bad reviews.
Objectively speaking, the first two episodes of "Flowers" are indeed a bit boring and bland, but the third episode will become more interesting. I look forward to the subsequent plots being more exciting.
