"Flowers" has been compared to the encyclopedia of Shanghai by the audience. "Silence" is the essence of "Flowers". The original author Jin Yucheng once said that silence is the life philosophy of Shanghai people.
Mr. Bao has a lot of "no words" in the TV series "Flowers". He doesn't say anything about things that he shouldn't say, things that he can't explain clearly, things that he hasn't thought about or planned, things that embarrass himself or others.
Because of this "no sound", Hu Ge, the actor of "Mr. Bao", and director Wong Kar-wai talked a lot.
"I have chatted with Director Wang many times. Most of the time we did not talk about roles or people, but about my own growth, family, study and emotional experiences. I always thought that the director was observing whether I was suitable for this. character, but I later discovered that he crushed my life experience into pieces and added it all to the character." Hu Ge emotionally told the story of his role as "Abao" at the "Flowers" seminar held on the 17th.
During the filming of the scene where "Mr. Bao" pulls "Xiao Wang" running on the road in Nanjing, "Mr. Bao" drops his bag on the ground, and "Mr. Bao" looks back attentively, Director Wong Kar Wai was setting the lighting for this scene. Said to Hu Ge: "At this time, when you look back and see the 'Xiao Wang' under the sunset, it may not be the 'Xiao Wang'."
"Then who did I see?" Hu Ge asked.
"It's not 'Xue Zhi', it's not first love. What you see is a memory that you can't go back to." Wong Kar-wai said to Hu Ge, "I don't limit what you see specifically."
Hu Ge stood where he was, " I seemed to have returned to my childhood, and saw my mother holding a little boy's back. I was touched at that moment, and I couldn't hold back my tears."
Wong Kar-wai came over, patted Hu Ge, and said Give him eight words: Deja vu, tears in eyes. "I know what you saw, and I hope that audiences who have experienced that era will also feel the same way when watching our drama. But when the filming officially starts, you should not release your emotions, you should express them with restraint. , you still have to bring yourself back to reality."
In the end, in the TV series presentation, "A Bao"'s memory was only pulled out for a moment, but he immediately straightened his tie, and when he looked up, he saw "Ms. Wang" again A familiar smile appeared in front of him.
Hu Ge said frankly that he told the director a lot about his memories with his mother. He even told the director that when he first dreamed of his mother after her death, it was his mother dragging him along the streets of Shanghai when he was a child. Streets and alleys. "I didn't expect that every bit of communication with the director would suddenly appear before my eyes during the creation. I understand that Director Wang used my deepest pain in reality to replace the inability of Abao in the play at that moment. The pain of words." The "Abao" in the play inadvertently releases Hu Ge's emotions bit by bit in "Silence".
"I am very grateful to Director Wang for allowing me to be so close to the characters in the play during the entire filming of "Flowers", and for allowing me to be so close to the most important person in my life." Hu Ge said with emotion.
