"Flowers" surprises the audience anytime and anywhere. No one knows which big star will appear next second. As expected of Wong Kar-Wai, even the minor supporting roles are all capable actors.
The actress plays the waiter and foreman
If it weren’t for the reminder from netizens, I would have never noticed that Min Min, the foreman of Zhizhenyuan, was actually played by Zeng Meihuizi, the best actress at the Academy Awards. Yes, the same one who starred in "Three Husbands" and relied on This film won the Academy Award for Best Actress in multiple awards.
In "Flowers", Zeng Meihuizi plays a waiter who is led to wear small shoes because of the buttons. Who knows that Li Li takes a fancy to her strength and becomes Li Li's right-hand assistant.
asked the actress to play a small supporting role. It is estimated that only a great director like Wong Kar-Wai could hire him. However, Zeng Meihuizi played a lot of roles in the play and was also a pivotal role. It was really good for her to play the role.
Wen Zhaolun acted as himself
When Zhenyuan opened, in order to make a name for himself on Huanghe Road, Li Li invited a heavyweight to support him, that is, the popular Hong Kong star Wen Zhaolun at the time.
Although the scene only lasts for less than a minute, it is indeed Wen Zhaolun himself who stars. This is really surprising and unexpected. Considering that the background of the play is set in the 1990s, Wen Zhaolun was very popular at that time, so there is no one more suitable than Wen Zhaolun to play the role.
Dai Jun makes a guest appearance as a hotel owner
The name Dai Jun is unfamiliar to many people born in the 2000s and 10s, but if you are born in the 80s, 90s, or even the 70s, it is familiar.
After all, this man who is a host, actor, and singer is the "dream man" of many mothers, and Dai Jun has not been filming for a long time. The last time I saw him was in Hunan Satellite TV's "Time Concert" in the program.
Unexpectedly, in "Flowers", he guest-starred as Jin Meilin's husband, the character who holds a gold chain and asks the waiter to call him "baby".
Unexpectedly, Dai Jun has taken good care of himself for so many years, and it is completely unrecognizable that he is already in his fifties. It seems that Wong Kar-wai has put a lot of thought into allowing Dai Jun to come out to act.
Yau Ben-chang plays the uncle
What surprised me the most was Yau Ben-chang’s performance as Po’s noble uncle.
I believe that even if many people born in the 90s and 80s do not know the name You Benchang, they will affectionately call him doctor "Grandpa Jigong" when they see other people. Yes, he is the actor who plays Jigong, and he is also the unique Jigong in the hearts of many viewers.
Mr. You Benchang has not been acting for a long time. Since his guest appearance in dramas such as "Young Song Xing" and "Bottom Line", he has been seen in some dramas one after another. Whether it is a modern drama or an ancient drama, you can see the strength of Mr. You Benchang.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he gave people a sense of stability.
papi Jiang played the role of Ma Yili’s best friend
papi Jiang. When she appeared on the stage, it was so true that people couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Many people thought that Papi Jiang was the first generation Internet celebrity who made her career by making short videos and funny videos. In fact, she also had a professional background. , graduated from the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, and is a native of Shanghai.
So letting Papi Jiang play Ma Yili’s best friend is also very consistent with the character image.
In addition, many actors in the drama "Flowers" are basically actors from Shanghai, such as Fan Tantan, Tong Chenjie, Wang Ju, Wu Yue, Chen Long, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, etc.
This is also related to the tone of the entire drama. After all, the entire drama tells the story of Shanghai in the 1990s, so there is a Shanghainese version. Let's look at the roles played by each actor. They also fit the characters in the play very well. They speak fieryly, have loud voices, etc.
But it is a pity that Fei Xiang himself was not invited to play himself. When the Sanyang brand was launched in the play, Fei Xiang, the "fire in winter", was invited to perform in the commercial. If he had not been singing this song, Fei Xiang should have also I'd love to make a guest appearance.
All in all, "Flowers" has a lot of big-name guest appearances. I don't know who will come later. I always feel that surprises are everywhere, what do you think?
