The TV series "Flowers" starring Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, etc. is currently being broadcast on CCTV 8. At present, more than two-thirds of the series has been broadcast. The ratings, popularity and reputation are all eye-catching, and the ratings continue to exceed 1 , ranked first in popularity for 10 consecutive days, with a Douban score of 8.2, becoming the first high-scoring hit drama in 2024.
With the release of "Flowers", many actors in the drama have become popular with their outstanding performances, such as Uncle Ye played by You Benchang, Abao played by Hu Ge, Miss Wang played by Tang Yan, and Li Li played by Xin Zhilei etc., not only aroused the pursuit of many viewers, but also received recognition from many media.
Recently, the official Weibo account of CCTV TV Drama Channel published a long article titled "Flowers: The Drama Has a "Tone"", which commented on the TV series "Flowers". The article did not mention the acting skills of the actors, but it did mention the audience's expectations. In my heart.
"Flowers" broke out of the industry with its "accent", and the "accent" was vividly displayed.
The story of the TV series "Flowers" mainly revolves around the male protagonist A Bao. The time is pulled back to the early 1990s. In the Huanghuang era, everyone competed for the top. , A Bao gradually turned from an ordinary person into a famous Mr. Bao, with successes and failures, leaving a rather brilliant legend among the trend-setting children in Shanghai.
A Bao in the play is played by Hu Ge, an actor who is very familiar to the audience. When Hu Ge appears on the stage, the familiar flavor hits his face. As the plot unfolded, the male protagonist Abao portrayed by Hu Ge also showed richer characteristics. The audience most commented on him as the "Mr. Bao" with the most "accent" on Shanghai's Yellow River Road.
CCTV’s article praised the character of A Bao. The article commented: “Mr. Bao is smart, courageous, and sharp, strong yet soft, quiet yet moving, passionate and multi-sense, and true to his words. It is precisely because of this The rare accent makes friends, men, women and children trust and be close to them, and they can even go through life and death for them."
"Accent" is a line that appears frequently in the play, and it is vividly displayed in the play. In addition to Abao's accent, there are also the accent of director Wong Kar-wai, the accent of Shanghai's local cultural characteristics, the accents of various female characters, etc., which together create the unique "tone" of this drama. The "tone" in the play can be said to be magnanimity, dignity, attitude, and a certain unique temperament that leaves a deep impression on people.
Just like the scenes in the play, every frame is very textured, showing the temperament and charm of the play, and the producer's intentions can also be seen. From the theme of the series to the characters, to the scenes, costumes, music, etc., with the cooperation of the actors and the production team, scenes of Shanghai in the early 1990s were presented to the audience, making it The audience also fully felt the atmosphere and charm of Shanghai in that era.
Just like the review article wrote: ""Flowers" embodies a strong 'accent' culture of the Shanghai region. It not only has the 'accent' of a 'Shanghai-style' drama, but also embodies the charm of a unique regional culture. ."
The director has a very good eye for selecting actors, and "famous scenes" are frequently staged.
The first impression given by the drama "Flowers" is that there are too many familiar faces in the drama, and the director is very good at selecting actors. In addition to Hu Ge and Tang Yan, there are also powerful actors such as Ma Yili, Chen Long, Wu Yue, and Zheng Kai joining the cast. The characters they portray such as A Bao, Miss Wang, Ling Zi, Tao Tao, Jin Hua, and Mr. Wei are all very vivid. Each character's personality is very eye-catching, especially the Shanghai version, which makes people feel the charm and accent of Shanghai.
As the male protagonist in the play, Abao has a lot of fans. Under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, Abao is a personable, gentlemanly and elegant person, which fits seamlessly with the temperament of the city of Shanghai. Hu Ge also relies on the character of Abao. The character once again received praise from many viewers. After watching it, some viewers said that Abao is like a character tailor-made for Hu Ge and fits Hu Ge's temperament very well.
Abao, the core character of the whole drama, drives the fate and emotions of the people around him. As said in the review article: "He shares the joys and sorrows with Lingzi, he has a sudden romance with Miss Wang, and he cherishes each other with Li Li. ..." The scenes between Po and the three women each have their own highlights, and the characteristics of the three female characters are also very distinctive. Reiko is versatile and adaptable, Miss Wang is smart, witty, persevering and tender, and Li Li has a sharp vision and finesse. It's tough, and the scene with Po is quite interesting.
Judging from the dramas that have been aired, Hu Ge and the three actors Ma Yili, Tang Yan, and Xin Zhilei match well, and the results are very good, and they frequently perform "famous scenes" for the audience. It is worth mentioning that Hu Ge and Tang Yan have collaborated many times, and both are actors from Shanghai, so they have a better understanding when working together. The answer to this can be found from the feedback from the audience. They are indeed in the play. There were a lot of sparks from the collision.
