Among the new dramas that have been aired recently, "Flowers" is undoubtedly the most popular and the highest quality drama. And not only in the near future, but also for a long period of time, it will not be easy to encounter such phenomenal film and television works.
As for why it has such good popularity and reputation, the reason is very simple: the original work won the Mao Dun Literature Award. Although the adaptation is very large, at least the foundation is very good; director Wong Kar-wai is famous, although the overly personalized labels and characteristics once made it so Many viewers were uncomfortable and abandoned the show, but in the end it won the support of fans and restored some reputation.
Of course, in addition to the good story and the strong restoration and presentation of Shanghai characteristics, it is also inseparable from the high degree of completion of the actors. Although this drama ultimately did not rely on celebrity fans to achieve its reputation, at least they completed the original work and adaptation relatively well, as well as Wong Kar-Wai's strict requirements.
Although the score of "Flowers" is not very low, and it is not completely high and low, but the score of 8.1 is not a classic that can be watched hundreds of times, so it cannot be said that the male, female, old and young protagonists and supporting roles in the drama are all very good, but Most of it is still remarkable. For example, football player Fan Zhiyi, who is a cross-border actor, plays his true character and fits the role very well. There are also guest appearances by models, Internet celebrities, pianists, hosts, singers, etc., which are all small highlights.
Even Tang Yan, who had always been criticized for only playing silly roles in "Flowers", was fully affirmed and praised for her performance in "Flowers" due to low expectations.
Of course, among the three heroines, Xin Zhilei and Ma Yili both have better performances than Tang Yan. Tang Yan is more of a persona to benefit Miss Wang and can just play her true character, while the roles of Lingzi and Li Li have richer connotations and more layers. Many roles require higher acting skills, so Ma Yili and Xin Zhilei completed it well, which is also a reflection of their strength and is recognized and liked by the audience.
However, in "Flowers", whether it is Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei and other handsome guys and beauties that dominate the screen, or other Shanghai celebrities who came as guest stars, they are not as brilliant as the role of "Uncle".
Although the role of uncle is an old man, has no appearance advantage, and does not have many roles, his role is very important. He protects the business of the core male protagonist Mr. Bao, giving people a strong sense of professionalism and security. Therefore, this character quickly captured the hearts of the audience. Everyone looked at Fanhua and wanted to have an uncle to help them make money.
At first, everyone was attracted to this supporting character because of his strong lines and acting skills and his cute character. Then everyone quickly discovered that this vicissitudes of life face was very familiar. Only then did they realize that he actually played the role of You Benchang of Jigong, and they understood why his acting skills were so good. .
You Benchang is already at an advanced age. He has been acting for decades. There are not many works and roles that everyone is familiar with before. The most representative one is the role of Jigong. Even if Chen Haomin and others later interpreted this role, they could not compare with You Benchang. .
Then the new generation of netizens studied the resume of downstream Benchang, only to find that they were shocked that it was too late for them to meet each other. When you were young, You Benchang was a handsome guy with good looks. Judging from the aesthetics of today's fans, he is by no means out of date. It can be said that he is even better than the popular hotties at the moment.
Hu Ge, who plays the most with You Benchang in the drama, looks somewhat similar to You Benchang when he was young. They are both typical Jiangnan handsome men, sunny and handsome. And even though Hu Ge was once a handsome guy, he is still a bit inferior to You Benchang when he was young. Both of them studied acting and graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and their experiences are quite similar.
In the play, Hu Ge is handsome with a folded newspaper hat, imitating the look of the character Jigong played by You Benchang, which can be regarded as an implanted tribute. In the future, Ruge will remake Jigong, and Hu Ge will be the most suitable candidate.
It's just a little regrettable that You Benchang is a complete late bloomer.Even though he was so handsome when he was young and he was an actor with a professional background, he did not get any bonus in appearance. Even in that era when traffic and appearance were not important, a large number of handsome guys such as Tang Guoqiang were out of the industry because of their appearance, but You Benchang was I completely ignored it, which is a pity.
Even though You Benchang later became famous for the role of Jigong, he was still in his old age, and because of the character's image, his good looks were completely overturned. In the past few decades, Yau Ben-chang has not had any other popular works or roles. It was not until this time that he was cast as a Shanghai Gang artist in "Flowers" and was spotted by Wong Kar-Wai, ushering in another career climax. I can only lament that You Benchang's luck is not as good as that of Hu Ge, otherwise he would have been a little more popular.
