Music critic Fan Zhihui found out that in order to promote the Sanyang brand, Ms. Wang invited fashion editors, Hong Kong photographers and models to have dinner. The song "Annie" by Wang Jie was sung at the dinner table. It was an era when Hong Kong pop music greatly influenced the mainland; When Mr. Bao was building momentum for the Sanyang brand, the singer he invited was Fei Xiang, a national idol who was famous all over the country during the Spring Festival Gala.

When the plot gets better, those unspeakable feelings are expressed through the appropriate soundtrack. Just like "Unrepented" to Miss Wang, she handed the Cadillac car keys sent by Mr. Bao to Manager Pan, and then left Zhizhenyuan without looking back. The Yellow River Road lost its color that day, Because what she needs is not a good car, not to save face, but for Mr. Bao to see that she can shine on her own.

For example, in the early 1990s, the albums of the songs "Stealing Heart" sung by Jacky Cheung and "Unrepentant" sung by Faye Wong were respectively produced by PolyGram Records and Xinyibao Records (a sub-label of PolyGram Records). Released, Universal Music later acquired PolyGram Records, so the recording rights to these two songs currently belong to Universal Music. In addition to popular music from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the soundtrack of "Flowers" also includes classical music, rock music, local Chinese operas and red classic songs.

On the way to take his adopted son to school, he passed through a cornfield and saw a train passing by. The train was driven by his younger self, when his son was still alive. At this time, Wang Xiang was already unconscious. He ran in the cornfield, chasing himself twenty years ago and shouting: Look forward, don't look back. At this time, Jiang Yuheng's song "Looking Back Again" sounded. This scene echoed Wang Xiang driving the train in the first scene at the beginning, and also made the audience deeply emotional. The song sings the end of this period suspense drama, "Tonight there will be no old dreams that are hard to let go." The story ends here, but the aftertaste is endless. The soundtrack of
