1905 Movie Network News On November 17, the TV series "Flowers" held a seminar in Beijing. Jin Yucheng, the author of the novel "Flowers", Qin Wen, the screenwriter of the TV series "Flowers", starring Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei and other creative representatives gathered together with well-known industry experts and literary critics to share and sort out the stories of the TV series "Flowers" Create experience, summarize gains and losses, and further promote the creation of more domestic TV series.
At the meeting, Gao Changli, Director of the TV Drama Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television, Feng Huaizhong, a first-level inspector of the China Television Artists Association, and Luo Yi, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, spoke respectively.
Gao Changli, director of the TV Drama Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television, said that this work has brought a lot of inspiration to our creations. Literary and art workers should use the spirit of realism and romantic feelings to observe real life and reflect the trend of the times. There are many excellent drama works. Only by gathering together can we better present a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China. Literary and artistic creators must pursue excellence, perfection, and artistic innovation. Literary and artistic creation must allow a hundred flowers to bloom, and literary and artistic works must be diversified.
On the hottest day in Shanghai, he and I ran for four or five days. Jin Yucheng recalled the days when he and director Wong Kar-wai did field research during the preparation of the project. Wong Kar-wai cast his net very wide in the early stages and had many ideas. He once observed square dancing at the entrance of Zhongshan Park, and later did a lot of research on the history of dancing in Shanghai; he once wanted to make the series into a dinner party, with each episode being a Dinner. After the Peace Hotel scene was built, Wong Kar-Wai showed Jin Yucheng photos of the hotel from that era to see if it was the same as the one built now. If not, he would start over. Jin Yucheng praised him as a person who is not afraid of trouble.
People are sitting in a Mercedes-Benz car with their backs turned. They cannot see the future clearly...the only clearly visible part is the past. Jin Yucheng borrowed this sentence from William Faulkner to express the similarity between his and Wong Kar-wai's creations. He said that preserving the past life and preserving the images and colors of the past is a very different literary concept between him and me. compatible.
Screenwriter Qin Wen detailed the many firsts she encountered in the creation of "Flowers": For the first time, she went through a lot of research work in the early stage of script creation. Wong Kar-wai provided many exquisite picture and text booklets, down to one character, one character and one character. A stamp for her reference; the first time to write in Shanghainese; the first time to build a two-dimensional script into a three-dimensional concept; the first time to follow the crew from startup to shutdown, constantly revising the script with Wong Kar-wai, and giving feedback to the actors every day The flying pages sent out must be very accurate; for the first time, I saw how Wong Kar-wai changed the script structure on the post-editing stage and performed a magic trick...
Hu Ge, who plays Abao, expressed his displeasure with Jin Yucheng and Jin Yucheng at the meeting. Wong Kar-wai and You Benchang, the three souls of "Flowers", expressed their respect and gratitude. Hu Ge said that director Wong Kar-wai gave him a deep understanding of how to integrate actors and characters. Before filming, the director talked most with himself not about the character, but about himself. I later discovered that he had crushed up my life experience and added it all to the character.
For example, in a scene where he pulls Miss Wang to run on the road in Nanjing and stops to look back, the director said that what you look back at at this time is not Xiao Wang under the sunset, but maybe a memory. Hu Ge seemed to be at the moment of filming. Returning to my childhood, I saw my mother holding the back of a little boy, and the director also gave him the words "déjà vu", which brought tears to my eyes. I hope that people who have experienced that era will have the same feeling when watching this movie.
Hu Ge understood that Director Wong Kar-wai used his deepest pain in real life to replace Abao’s unspeakable pain in the play. He can make me so close to the characters in the play, and at the same time, it also allows me to be so close to the most important person in my life. close.
Abao met his uncle, and I met Mr. You in the play. The 90-year-old You Benchang insisted on filming "Flowers" for three years, which made Hu Ge admire him.He mentioned that the crew had prepared a RV for You Benchang, but no matter how tired he was, he was unwilling to go back to the RV to rest. Mr. You said, "Only if I don't leave the shooting scene, this aura will not dissipate, and I have to maintain the state of my performance." . This touches me very much.
For Ma Yili, who plays Lingzi, the three years of filming "Flowers" were like taking a three-year master class. In Wong Kar-Wai's video world, she gradually learned how to perform in the most natural way without being able to see the camera, and also how to use a very beautiful angle to give the most accurate performance.
Ma Yili said that Wong Kar-wai is a director who loves actors very much. He has watched almost all the dramas she has acted in before. The script of "Flowers" will also learn from each actor's strengths and weaknesses, and write it according to the way that the actor can best shine. play.
"Flowers" was filmed for three years and ended after half a month of broadcasting. Ma Yili was very reluctant to part with it. Looking back at the shooting scene, every shot has been shot repeatedly. If every shot can be passed on the scene, everyone will applaud. This is not an ordinary applause, it carries everyone's sweat and hard work. Ma Yili said that this is a drama that deserves everyone to study the footage again and again. It is very meaningful to see such a drama now.
Tang Yan, who plays Miss Wang, had always wanted to make a breakthrough in roles and performances before joining "Flowers", hoping to bring a new screen image to the audience. Finally, she waited for this fate and opportunity, and devoted herself to this film. Three years of drama. I have been developing the role of Miss Wang for the past three years, and it has benefited me a lot, and I am proud of it.
Tang Yan said that she was very nervous when she first stepped onto the set. She walked cautiously step by step to the set of scene 27. Facing the opposite actors and seniors with superb acting skills, she felt very stressed. She thanked Director Wong Kar Wai for giving her a lot of strength and confidence, and firmly told her that you are Miss Wang. She also thanked her co-stars. Xiao Wang has encountered many mountains, and so has I, Tang Yan. Whether it is Jinhua, Master Fan or Mr. Fan in the play, they are the nobles of Xiao Wang, and they are also the nobles of me, Tang Yan.
Through "Flowers", Tang Yan said that she also learned to figure out the deep meaning behind the characters' lines and understand the subtext. The layers of the characters are like a layer cake. I want to work hard to make the audience understand the lines at the moment they are spoken. Savor it carefully, rather than feeling like you are just memorizing words.
After the broadcast of "Flowers", I saw that the most discussed thing among netizens was Li Li's beauty. I was very happy, but I think Li Li's beauty is not empty, but intriguing. Xin Zhilei, who plays Li Li, believes that this female character is quite special in the play. She has a strong sense of wandering and a sense of beauty unique to that era.
Xin Zhilei said frankly that although Li Li’s story has a blank space, as an actor, she also hopes that the character will be full and able to see her past and future. However, through shooting flowers, I found that sometimes blank space is another kind of beauty. This is my As an actor, I have never felt the charm of a character before.
