broadcast platform and Shangxing Satellite TV both cherish "Flowers", which Wong Kar-wai worked hard for three years to film. The former announced on the spot that "Flowers" will be released on December 27 at the star-studded event. The latter carried out the extremely popular "Thrush" just to welcome the safe birth of "Flowers". However, the online broadcast performance of this drama did not meet expectations, and the ratings on the Star platform are also declining continuously. This trend is not good. So why did "Flowers", which was favored by many parties, open at a high price and sell at a low price?
Some people say: Real art is appreciated by both refined and popular people. Wong Kar-wai's control of the camera and color matching are naturally excellent. 's past works such as "Ashes of Time" and "The Grandmaster" were masterpieces in the Chinese film industry. Wong Kar-Wai, who was filming a TV series for the first time, naturally received high expectations from all quarters. However, some viewers are worried that Wong Kar-Wai may not be accustomed to his first transition to filming a TV series. After all, even international best-selling actress Zhang Ziyi and triple-gold best-selling actress Zhou Dongyu have frequently fallen out of favor in domestic dramas.
Although the movie is at the top of the entire film and television system, the audience is not convinced that Wong Kar-wai can still control it perfectly if he changes circles. However, the attention received by the premiere of the show proves that Wong Kar-wai's film aesthetics are still not outdated, and even have some meaning in the TV drama circle. However, as the plot gradually progresses, online reviews of this work are mixed. Some viewers feel that the background shown in "Flowers" does not look like Shanghai in the 1990s, but rather like Shanghai during the Republic of China.
Some viewers also said: Wong Kar-wai's fragmented narrative style seems too laborious, and the audience has no way to connect the plot together in their minds. It can be said that most viewers do not like Wong Kar-wai's artistic and high-end aesthetics. Although Wong Kar-wai used his own style throughout "Flowers" and accurately controlled the lens texture and light and shadow matching. However, can only be recognized in terms of online play volume and discussion, and it is basically impossible for the remote control audience to resonate with it.
Art for the public should be appropriately integrated into the audience's habit of watching dramas, rather than running counter to the audience's vision of watching dramas. Wong Kar-wai is a great director in the film industry and has produced many films that have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success. In order for the finished product of "Flowers" to be flawless, it was reworked three times. However, its narrative method and shooting style have invisibly raised the threshold for watching dramas, and do not meet the audience's basic needs for film and television dramas to "tell a story with ups and downs", so naturally there will be audiences who are dissatisfied.
What followed was the continuous decline in the ratings of Star TV. This shows that ordinary people do not buy Wong Kar-wai's works. Since it wants to gain recognition in the TV drama market, it must learn to accept the way TV drama directors tell stories. TV drama audiences do not overly pursue the beauty of the texture and color of the shots. They pay more attention to the setting of the characters and the logic of the plot. In addition to director Wong Kar-wai and male protagonist Hu Ge, the most talked about in "Flowers" is Tang Yan, who plays Miss Wang.
As a drama about Hua Dan’s transformation, many viewers are waiting to catch Tang Yan’s faults in this drama. Even before the show was aired, a press release stated: Tang Yan's acting skills are incompatible with other actors in the show and are still idol-style acting. However, viewers who have watched this drama said that Miss Wang played by Tang Yan in the drama is great. not only perfectly portrays Miss Wang, an independent woman who treats people sincerely and dares to love and hate, but also completely subverts her previous roles in film and television. The silly and sweet image in the play.
Miss Wang, who has flaming lips and big wavy hair, carries the vigorous vitality and distinctive character characteristics of that era. It has to be said that although Tang Yan has shifted her focus to her family in recent years, she still has the basic qualities that an actor should have. It can be said that Miss Wang under the lens of Wong Kar-wai is Tang Yan's second highlight role in her acting career. She has a full character and captured Tang Yan's best state and most beautiful moments.Even Miss Wang can be the same role in Tang Yan's life as Zixuan.
Tang Yan's performance in "Flowers" is not inferior to that of Ma Yili and Xin Zhilei. The Miss Wang she portrays is bright and charming, yet stubborn, and she has the attitude of a little daughter in every gesture. can only be said to be worthy of 85 flowers. 85花 is not only a symbol of the era for the drama audience, but also a testimony of Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and others who fought together. Now when the audience thinks about 85 Flowers, the first thing they think of is the classic popular dramas and representative characters.
is different from the 95 flowers who are now famous for holding a silver spoon in their mouths. The 85 flowers have accumulated national popularity and topicality based on their solid acting skills and the ratings of their films. Even if Tang Yan chooses to focus more on her family after getting married, it does not mean that the acting skills that she relies on for survival will disappear. In the past, Tang Yan also had many hit film and television dramas. Characters such as Zixuan, Zhao Mosheng, Xia Tianmei, Li Weiyang, etc. are all popular characters that the audience is familiar with. It can be said that Tang Yan's performance is definitely not weak.
Although most of the works Tang Yan has acted in are silly and sweet, her appearance and temperament are indeed very sweet. After all, when first debuted, it was not unreasonable for many viewers to call her Tangtang. Tang Yan's temperament is gentle and non-aggressive, and her laughter is very infectious to the audience, and has the magic power to cure all unhappiness. Although has been criticized by the audience for playing homogeneous silly roles all year round, her occasional choices of Zixuan and Zhongli can still instantly attract all the attention of the audience. This shows that Tang Yan's acting skills are no problem.
Now Tang Yan is happily married and has a happy family. She has also begun to return to the entertainment industry to focus on her career. Although many viewers were initially biased against Ms. Wang's casting, feeling that Tang Yan was from an idol drama background and could not perfectly handle a well-rounded role, Tang Yan still dispelled all doubts with her outstanding performance in the drama. can only say that Wong Kar-wai is not only good at filming film and television dramas, but also good at selecting and training actors. It is said that the role of Miss Wang was really well chosen.
The character's personality is within Tang Yan's comfort zone, and in addition, Miss Wang has a vague ambiguity with Abao in the play. The revolutionary friendship of many times of cooperation gave Ge Yan a kind of tacit understanding that needs no words. The character of Ms. Wang is highly compatible with Tang Yan in all aspects. Therefore, it was not difficult for Tang Yan to portray the role of Miss Wang. believes that with this drama, Tang Yan's ability to interpret the role will be further recognized, and more fans and netizens who like and follow Tang Yan will be able to see the real person with thousands of faces.
