"Flowers" continues to be popular. It not only includes shopping mall battles and financial games, but also the turmoil of the mortal world where men and women hate each other.
has a very interesting question. Among the female characters in "Flowers", who is the most suitable to be Abao's wife?
Based on my personal opinion, Reiko was naturally my first choice at first. She herself felt that she had secured her position as the main palace official, and she acted forcefully and arrogantly towards A Bao.
However, when Xuezhi made a stunning appearance, and when the past of the Ginza Club emerged, Reiko's status was instantly blurred.
I have to admire Wong Kar-Wai, he still has a good handle on the love affairs between men and women, his eyebrows are submissive, his emotions are moved, and in the flash of lightning, there are episodes of love and hatred between men and women.
a. Masamiya Reiko: I just blame the romantic encounter that night
In the first half of "Flowers", Reiko behaves like a queen who is sitting firmly in the palace.
The way she gets along with A Bao is very similar to the family model in Sichuan and Chongqing where women are strong and men are weak. A Bao goes out to fight hard and earn money to support the family. He brings back a lot of money and Lingzi handles it properly, while taking care of everything at home. Including being injured and living in seclusion, he was welcomed and sent away with a sense of worldliness; when there was a fight in the mall, he actively dealt with the aftermath and became a strong backing. Normally, he always talks to A Bao and scolds him casually, but A Bao is too arrogant and dare not say a word.
There was nothing she could do, A Bao had been completely trained by her to be submissive. Ma Yili also interpreted Reiko, the owner of a night Tokyo restaurant, as capable and masculine.
Of course, there are some tricks in this. For example, seeing that Miss Wang was in a difficult mood, Lingzi made a special trip to buy earrings and used them to make Miss Wang happy. If in the old society, Reiko would have directly helped Mr. Bao take concubines?
It turned out that Lingzi sold the high imitation by herself, but when Abao came back to question her, she turned him around. She asked "Mr. Pampers" to go to each house to apologize, so Abao had to pay to settle everything. Then, Lingzi brought up the old story of helping him resolve disputes many years ago, expressing how loyal and independent she was, and changed the subject with a click. Not only did she escape the guilt of robbing customers, but she also once again won over Mr. Tongbao. distance.
Especially the proprietress of Huanghe Road couldn't stand the arrogance of Zhizhenyuan Li Li, so she came to instigate Reiko to join them and trample Li Li together. Lingzi promised on the surface, and asked the proprietresses to pay the sky-high price of 2,000 yuan, and went out in low spirits.
As a royal palace, how could you be fooled into being fooled like this? Mr. Bao is her real community of interests. Let those gangsters make trouble. At critical moments, she will always stand with Mr. Bao.
has developed to this point, and I feel that Abao should have given Reiko an explanation long ago. Why do the two still maintain this gap?
It wasn't until the drama of their first encounter at the Ginza Club that everything had an answer.
The two met romantically downstairs in Dongying Huanchang. The twists and turns in the middle gave the two people room to develop secret feelings. The late-night encounter on the streets of a foreign country and the warm companionship of a lonely man and a widow are reminiscent of the cuddling between Tang Wei and Hyun Bin in "Late Autumn", which is quite touching.
Such feelings are naturally romantic and touching, but they are difficult to withstand the test of reality. Returning to Shanghai, remembering that it was Japan's top club, Abao still couldn't let go. The one-night encounter in Ginza actually laid a tragic foundation for the relationship between Lingbao and Lingbao.
Therefore, Lingzi has been silently supporting Mr. Bao and has become the woman in the shadow. After living in a leaky rental house for four full years, Lingzi never really thought about giving Lingzi an explanation. During the time when
disappeared, Reiko apparently figured out that the two of them were destined to be together.
She asked Abao to get the amulet back. She couldn't afford to wait for this relationship, nor could she afford to waste it. For Abao, women are like clothes. They are used when keeping warm and left unused when not in use. Rich and attractive men naturally have no shortage of women around them to make clothes. But for Reiko, there is no need to stay in the closet all the time. She originally had greater ambitions. Thinking about it brings a lot of emotion.
b. Partner Xiao Wang: Feeding the dog affectionately
Miss Wang is the person who loves Ah Bao most in the play, but she can never become Ah Bao's favorite person.
was very lively at the beginning, simple and straightforward, and spoke freely. It was obvious that he was a close friend, but he was still far from a wife.
until she was assigned to the lowest level and began to undergo labor reform (actively participate in labor).
As a public official, Ms. Wang is obviously too devoted and public.
She didn't know the constraints and importance of her identity. She should have stayed as far away from businessmen like Mr. Bao and Mr. Wei as possible. Purify your circle of friends, act low-key and cautiously, even if you want to accept a gift or exchange resources, you must not show off and make others hate you.
But look at her, she takes the favor from Mr. Bao as an honor and shows off her satisfaction everywhere. Not only does she not take home an earring, she even goes to work to show off to her colleagues. This is completely setting herself up as a target.
Moreover, he has free access to various entertainment venues, arrogantly books private rooms for dinner at private clubs like Zhizhenyuan, and competes with frivolous and dishonest men like Mr. Wei.
Do you understand the eight regulations? Study the management regulations? was too naive, and the backlash was laid.
She thought that if she acted upright and sat upright, trouble would not come to her door. Jin Ke shook his head after looking at it, and his uncle sighed as he watched. Young people like this must suffer some hardships before they understand the dangers of society and the unwillingness of fate.
It is not surprising for a person who is passionate and sincere to be stabbed in the back when he first enters the workplace. Poor Miss Wang not only suffered a setback in her career, but also suffered a heavy blow emotionally.
She loves Abao so deeply. He lost his earring in a panic, and first ran to Mr. Bao to complain, expressing his love for the earring, and at the same time revealing the fact that he was stabbed by Reiko.
When she heard that A Bao was traveling to Zhuji alone, she was so angry that she bought a car and rushed to save others, but she was hit by a car accident instead. Regardless of the outcome, Mr. Bao was inevitably touched by seeing Miss Wang caring so much about him.
Abao also recalled his first encounter with Comrade Xiao Wang. Under the reflection of the sun, Xiao Wang, who loved stamp collecting (literally, stamp collecting), was so innocent, lively and endearing.
Abao was very moved, but still refused to give Miss Wang any intimacy or imagination. Miss Wang gave up to the dog affectionately and worked alone at the grassroots level, feeling dejected in manual labor.
In the midst of love and hate, Faye Wong's song "Unrepentant" played leisurely. Love turns out to be illusory, but there are many infatuated men and women who mistook impulse for deep affection, and staged one infatuated drama after another.
The heartbroken Ms. Wang ate canned pineapples and remembered the line from "Chungking Express": Pineapples will expire, love will expire, everything will expire.
c. Lover Li Li: Meeting an Opponent in Chess and Conquering the Maniac
Li Li's mysterious identity and business ambitions make him a close spiritual opponent to Po, and he is also the best partner to fight together and fight against the enemy bravely.
Moreover, Li Li's cold eyes, indifference, and charm can effectively stimulate Bao's desire to conquer, especially when the two of them are walking on the street, or looking at each other through the window, which is exactly the emotional mode that the Sunglasses King most yearns for.
It’s just such a cold and beautiful emotional relationship. When it comes to a relationship between husband and wife, it will inevitably be a bit unbearable.
Li Zibi is a disruptive catfish, which not only caused a storm in the catering industry on Huanghe Road, but also had a big impact on Lingbao and CP.
So Li Li ran up to Reiko from time to time, and the two acted out scenes of jealousy and insinuations.
In addition to jealousy, entrepreneur Li Li also faces bigger problems. Her Zhizhen Garden was so popular that it had attracted the collective hatred of other restaurants on Huanghe Road. The chef resigned, the kitchen was in chaos, and important ingredients were monopolized and refused to be supplied. In desperation, Li Li had to turn to Mr. Bao for help. .
Mr. Bao looked at Li Li in front of him as if he saw himself starting a business a few years ago, and he still had some empathy and compassion in his heart. With such a beautiful woman in front of him, he had to help no matter what.
This one is really installed by the king of sunglasses.
A seemingly ordinary catering conflict was dubbed the "Battle of the Yellow River Road."From causing conflicts (Zhizhenen arouses public outrage), developing conflicts (the chef is fired, the kitchen window is empty, and enemies are around), to setting up suspense (whether the dishes can be completed) and laying out clues (chef team, king snake, signature dishes) , then break the situation one by one, push it to the climax of the conflict, and reverse it in one fell swoop at the end. It can be used as a learning model for screenwriting majors.
Returned triumphantly from the business war, Mr. Bao and Li Li met at a food stall and performed a classic scene from "In the Mood for Love" in front of a wok stew. Suddenly, the two of them are the replacements of Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung. Each generation becomes stronger than the last. I wish Hu Ge and Xin Zhilei can also grow up to be the best actor and best actress.
Afterwards, the two walked on the street late at night, saying goodbye affectionately, and rushed to deliver umbrellas after it rained. For a while, the classic works of the Sunglasses King came to mind, such as "Days of Being Wild", "Fallen Angels", "Chungking Express", "In the Mood for Love", This scene between the two is completely like Wong Kar-wai's review of the film festival.
d. Old love Xuezhi: The rarest thing you can’t eat
The three women above have tried their best, even in the nine realms of ice and fire, but they still haven’t completely moved Abao.
It turns out that there is someone else in his heart.
This friend is glimpsed in the play, but Xuezhi (played by Du Juan) occupies the memories of Po's heart-warming youth, and subsequently takes over the entire temperament of the adult Po.
When Po was a young worker, she was the most beautiful bus conductor. No one is the most beautiful or charming, only the most suitable person appears at the right moment. Xuezhi is undoubtedly the woman who appears next to Abao at the most suitable moment.
Abao has never forgotten his original intention. Although he and Xuezhi are estranged and walking on different paths in life, they always silently listen to each other's news. After a chance encounter in Hong Kong and hearing that Xuezhi already had someone, Po felt lost and extremely depressed.
philosopher Eason Chan has long concluded: Those who cannot get it will always be in turmoil, and those who are favored will have no fear.
Even though Abao is always in the shopping mall, strategizing, and has fun in brand marketing, production and marketing chains, and even securities and finance, in the love between men and women, he still can't get rid of the stupidity of men's tadpoles, and "eating in a bowl and watching." The evil nature of "in the pot". Of the four above
, if I had to choose, Xiaowang would be my first choice (finding someone who loves me), Lingzi would be my second choice (enjoying the pleasure of being controlled), and Li Li could watch from a distance, or make appointments occasionally. Xuezhi, let’s keep it in our memory forever.
Well, Tao Tao’s screams are still in my ears, so I ran away first.
