Slowly you will find that as long as he is around, you will feel at ease, much like falling in love."
"Flowers" The drama was filmed for a total of three years. The long cycle also affected the emotions of the actors, and Wong Kar-wai provided stable emotional comfort. Hu Ge said: "After the filming, everyone was on the verge of collapse, and there was a lot of pressure in all aspects. But looking at Director Wang who was energetic and meticulous on the set, I saw him going back to meetings and writing every day after filming. After reading the script, all the fatigue was eliminated at once, and I felt like I could do it again."
"Everyone worked hard with all their strength." Ma Yili revealed that during filming, director Wong Kar-wai never took the initiative to tell the actors what to do. Instead, we should constantly understand the actors, explore them, and look for their shining points. “When you start working with him, you will know that this person is worthy of your full trust.”

The actors and staff of the crew all jokingly called this the "Wong Kar-Wai Flowers Film and Television Academy." He believes that the drama "Flowers" allows everyone to see that every character has two sides and that everyone is flesh and blood. "This is how people are in real life. So, if we talk about the future, I hope that screenwriters in our film and television industry When directors and actors create, they try to create more flesh-and-blood characters to make them come alive. "Flowers" is the best example, which proves that the audience loves such a play and such characters. Watch it."

Some people have bass notes, and some people have treble notes, so I might be a super treble note. Everyone's notes are different, and the director uses his artistic concepts to combine them into a very beautiful and beautiful piece of music."
