I am following "Flowers", and the more I watch it, the more I feel Wong Kar-wai's preference for female characters - the success of the male protagonist Po is legendary, but the stories of the women are more interesting. It's like watching "The Grandmaster" back then. There is no doubt about the charm of the Grandmaster, but Gong Er and Zhang Yongcheng are unforgettable.
Ms. Wang, who has successfully emerged from the entertainment industry, is lovable, full of vitality, and always moving forward, which is very much like our understanding and imagination of youth. She was confused when she accidentally stuck the stamp on the rice ball, she rushed forward anxiously to deliver the news, she was cold-blooded towards the "weird things" she didn't like...so many details condensed into an innocent and sincere girl called People's hearts are filled with compassion. The determination to become her own dock freed her from the frame of "young lady" and took her to the next level. In any sense, the three years Tang Yan spent on Miss Wang were well worth it.
Reiko's shrewd philistine is not likable when we first meet her, and is even a bit noisy. Her "debt collection" look that always asks for money is really difficult to grasp. If it's too greedy, if it's too little, she loses her sincerity. . Fortunately, the reminiscence scene begins, and the past and future events flow out at the right time: Although there have been heartfelt visits to foreign countries, in the end, only financial debts can be used to maintain bonds and hide the inner feelings. Under the hard shell of self-protection, there is a fragile true love. When the line was finally drawn, Ma Yili's acting was a textbook, calm, sober, and firmly grasping the initiative, while Mr. Bao became the one who panicked and fled.
Li Li's scenes are very brilliant, and every appearance of Xin Zhilei is like an oil painting, gentle and mysterious. No matter what kind of storm it is, she has enough determination to stay calm. What's even better is that when people begin to feel that she seems a little too sure, the series brings out the fragility of her past, making people want to explore the story behind it. And she generously entertained Lingzi, who went to Zhizhenyuan to learn her skills, and gave enough dignity to Miss Wang and Mr. Wei who opened a new company. She was also well versed in the wisdom of the world. I suggest that today’s TV dramas with big female protagonists all come to imitate the example: walking in style and speaking sharply are just the appearance of a female boss. Being able to bend and stretch, and having a long-term vision are the basic qualities for doing business.
Of course, the women in "Flowers" have more different appearances. Sometimes even if they look awkward, they are still real in the world. The golden phoenix, who runs away at the beginning of the chapter, is charming and coquettish. Whether it is just a joke or a fake love, it is full of aftertaste. Minmin, who wants to make money with "buttons", has a kind of fake shrewdness about her that cannot figure out how to do it. Even if she is the foreman, she still looks naive and reckless in her movements; she cuts wires in "Little Jiangxi" and has the ruthlessness to destroy everything. He can also secretly cheat with Boss Jin in a corner where no one is paying attention, so he can be called a ruthless character. Mei Ping, who is always ignored, seems to have "pleasure" welded on her face. Her darkening is so inevitable and makes people feel so mixed.
Several flowers bloom, each with a different beauty. This may be the beauty of working with a big director. Even though the working method is bizarre and the actors are often "cut off", whether it is a cut scene or a supporting role, whatever remains is a highlight that cannot be erased.
