As a big hit at the beginning of 2024, although "Flowers" has ended, it is still popular. Fans of the drama said: "It has too much stamina!"
Not only that, the work also directly boosted the tourism industry of the filming location. Mr. Bao’s suit of the same style, and the “Ship King Fried Rice” that my uncle never forgets have become popular items.
But perhaps the impact of this drama on the actors has just begun - most of the main creative actors can reap the dividends brought by excellent works and roles.
For example, Tang Yan went from being ridiculed by the crowd for having no ambition, gradually widening the gap with the "85 flower head" artists, and now she has become the "Miss Wang" who has a full schedule and is praised by everyone.
Another example is Xin Zhilei. Before she became the charming "Li Li", she was an unpopular "Queen of Desire" in the hearts of the audience. No matter how good her business was, she would inevitably be criticized by unscrupulous netizens...
But Is it just good luck behind this so-called bonus?
is not, but a two-way journey with the right time, right place, right people and people.
1. Tang Yan: Only acting in one drama in three years, becoming famous is not a dream
There is no doubt that Tang Yan is the actress who has received the most dividends since the broadcast of "Flowers".
Because before this, although she had a glittering resume and masterpieces, due to marriage, having children, and career ambitions, she was not as serious as some female stars of the same age. She had always been out of the circle with a "silly, sweet" persona, and her popularity Has plummeted.
Before "Flowers", she had not filmed seriously for three years, so she was often ridiculed as "left behind".
's previous "postpartum comeback" "Yanyuntai" also received numerous complaints.
But not long after "Flowers" started airing, she became popular because of her role as the frank and lovely Ms. Wang.
Yes, this "Golden Flower at No. 27 on the Bund" + "Crazy Flower under the Storm" was interpreted by Tang Yan with simple vitality, and was praised by the audience as "amazing".
Sure enough, as soon as the work was aired, Tang Yan, who had become famous again, was once again recognized by capital as having huge commercial value, and the schedule began to be full, increasing from 5 at the beginning of the month to 12.
One of the more eye-catching ones is the cover shot for "Fashion" - this is her first magazine cover this year, and the theme is directly called "Flowers".
magazine was also very attentive to the filming. The filming location was the "Peace Hotel", one of the main scenes in the play, and the final film almost perfectly demonstrated the beauty of Tang Yan's transformation.
Compared to the popular impression of the infatuated woman Zixuan, the kind and confused Xia Mei, or the cheerful and extremely naive Zhao Mosheng...
Tang Yan has transformed into the unforgettable "Wang Mingzhu" today.
's excellent role has also caused its reputation to change overnight. From "having no ambition and being addicted to the hot bed of her husband and children" to "being able to endure loneliness and only taking on one drama in three years".
Tang Yan said that in the past three years, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly: "My emotions are led by Miss Wang. I feel sad for her and happy for her joy."
She is not afraid of "the flowering period of an actress" , let the torrent of time roll over me, but I am still enjoying it - even if I have entered my 40s, it is still just right.
In addition to the comeback in terms of popularity, some people believe that with "Flowers", Tang Yan is also expected to be nominated for various awards this year, such as Magnolia, which Ma Yili has already won. In terms of
magazines, in addition to "Fashion", it is reported that she will unlock five major covers one by one in the future, and "Cosmo", "elle", etc. may be included in the bag.
magazine is a counterattack of fashion resources. In fact, before the show was broadcast, she had already won the global spokesperson of a jewelry brand and is expected to become a luxury brand ambassador.
In terms of film and television dramas, Tang Yan has currently finished filming the heroine work "Nian Wushuang", but it has been rumored that she has been in contact with the business drama "Magnolia Blooms Again". Now it is not difficult to win.
2. Xin Zhilei: Two years of training in walking, in exchange for soaring into the sky
In addition to Tang Yan, the second biggest winner is Xin Zhilei, who plays the female lead Li Li.
is also a "85 flower". She used to give people the impression that "people who are popular in dramas are not popular".
Xin Zhilei also has representative works, such as the literary film "Yangtze River Pictures", the palace drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", the suspense drama "Nu Qing Xiangxi" and so on.
Most of the roles she played in the past were scheming, resilient and heroic women.
Until "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai "developed" the charm and glamor of Xin Zhilei, and Li Li was radiant every time she appeared.
This image is exactly in contrast to the image of the nonsensical and silly older sister in the variety show "Little Flowers" that is being broadcast on the next station.
This sense of contradiction has made Xin Zhilei gain popularity and fans, and her fans increased by one million within a few days.
Not only that, on the closing day of "Flowers", she also directly mentioned the spokesperson of a national skin care brand, and fans called her: "That's awesome!"
In addition to gains in popularity and endorsements, in terms of film and television resources, Xin Zhilei and The movie "Qiao Yan's Mind" starring Zhao Liying has also been rising in popularity recently.
Rumor has it that in this work, she is on the same level as Zhao Liying, the "85 flower head artist".
This also seems to indicate that Xin Zhilei is expected to hit the "85 flower head artist" echelon after "Flowers".
New resources are still coming out continuously. For example, some people say that she is currently working on a suspense drama called "Blood Relativity", and is expected to have a starring role with powerful actors such as Fan Wei, Zhang Ruoyun, and Ni Ni.
There are also rumors that she has been offered a job as a female lead, and the actor she works with is Wang Xiao, a second-generation star who has gradually emerged from the industry in recent years. It is said that the salary has also increased by several million, so she is really popular.
But few people have noticed that Xin Zhilei also worked hard to play the role of "Li Li" that is not very consistent with her own personality.
It is reported that before meeting director Wong Kar-Wai, she read the original work of "Flowers" by herself, and then joined the crew and started a crazy practice mode.
In order to play the charming walking style of "Li Li", Xin Zhilei practiced for two years in advance:
"The director likes to take pictures from the back, but I don't know how to walk in such a feminine way. When I practice, I feel like I am fast." It was broken, and both feet were bleeding, but she still couldn't get the desired effect, and she was in a state of collapse every day."
Not only that, she also learned various dances such as Latin and tango, and suffered a lot.
However, the hard work paid off. In the end, the audience saw a Li Li who "sees for thousands of years", and Xin Zhilei received the same reward, which was worth it.
3. Ma Yili: Although the bonus is not much, she reproduces her "viewing queen" style
Some people say that the heroine Ma Yili in "Flowers" received the least bonus.
Indeed, as a Shanghai woman, she has already appeared in similar characters in "The First Half of My Life" and "The Cheongsam Detective", so there is not much freshness for the audience.
But in fact, before the drama ended, she officially announced that she had been endorsed by a certain luxury brand as a skin care ambassador.
I recall that a few years ago, when the movie "My First Half of My Life" in which she starred was a hit, Ma Yili was not able to win the title of brand ambassador, and she was just a close friend.
But as soon as "Flowers" aired, the brand immediately saw the value - although it once again allowed the audience to see the reality of the entertainment industry, it also showed that her influence cannot be underestimated.
In addition, she, who had never been active and relatively low-key, began to appear frequently, making her presence felt.
Not only that, people are also speculating about his nomination for Magnolia, Golden Eagle and other awards with "Flowers".
In addition, Ma Yili’s own resources are good. Last year, she officially announced the new drama "My Altay", starring Yu Shi, a popular "niche" in the summer, and Xiao Hua Zhou Yiran, who is highly regarded for her acting skills.
also has "Living Quietly in an Uneasy World" with Xu Yajun and Wang Dalu to be broadcast. She plays the role of the operations director of a fashion magazine and a strong female character.
and the suspense drama "Intersecting Scenes" with Tong Dawei - this time she challenged the role of a female police officer, which whetted the audience's appetite.
However, although there are many dramas to be broadcast, Ma Yili spent three good years filming "Flowers".
The Lingzi she plays is not as outspoken as Ms. Wang, nor is she as mysterious as Li Li. Instead, she is hard-spoken, soft-hearted, and duplicitous, which is the kind of pyrotechnics that the audience can best accept.
What is less known to the audience is that the screenwriter of this drama, Qin Wen, also worked on "The First Half of My Life", so she and Ma Yili have a tacit understanding.
Sure enough, this drama once again proved her acting skills and strength - even though she is 47 years old and noisy with Brother Bao played by Hu Ge, she is still very charming and delicate, and the character is vivid.
4. Do male actors receive “too little bonus”? They may not need to prove
Apart from the above-mentioned creative actresses receiving their own dividends, there don't seem to be many signs that the male actors participating in the show have been blessed.
First of all, let’s talk about Hu Ge, who plays the male protagonist, who is a bit similar to Ma Yili. After the broadcast of “Flowers”, there didn’t seem to be any big ups and downs in terms of resources, advertising, popularity, etc.
But in the eyes of fans, he may not need it:
Because the theory has driven local tourism, Hu Ge has long been the ambassador of Shanghai tourism;
The theory has attracted advertisers, and the luxury cars and luxury suits embedded in the play have also They have all been endorsed by him before;
In terms of various activities, awards, and magazines, Hu Ge has long been a real "top"...
Therefore, for Hu Ge, the only bonus may be that he has acted in another famous movie. Great work on both ends.
When Zheng Kai came here, he was directly hired as the Haining cultural tourism promotion ambassador. The reason was that Haining elements appeared many times in the play, and the "Little Wei" he played was a native of Haining.
Judging from the endorsement fees of various actors in "Flowers" that have been exposed in the public, Zheng Kai's commercial value is not bad, even directly crushing Ma Yili and Xin Zhilei.
In terms of film and television dramas, from last year's popular "Ex 4" and "Lighting Store" to the upcoming Spring Festival "Flying Life 2" and "749 Bureau", it can be seen that he is currently focusing on major projects. Screen orientation.
As for variety shows, which he has always been very strong in, it is reported online that he will still sit on "Running" as a "veteran", and this is a long-term plan.
In addition, male artists such as Chen Long, Dong Yong, and Huang Jue, who performed well in "Flowers", although they did not have any substantial "dividends", they all gained popularity and reputation through the success of their works. , is also commendable.
There is no doubt that the success of "Flowers" has added a fresh touch to the resumes of the actors who participated in it to some extent.
is based on the hit drama "Crazy" at the beginning of last year, which became popular among Zhang Songwen, Gao Ye and others. Even the male lead, Lao Mo, Gao Qisheng, etc. took advantage of the popularity to make a lot of money.
But in fact, the so-called bonus is also a double-edged sword. Without the support of later strength, it will be exhausted one day.
So I hope Tang Yan and Xin Zhilei can seize the dividends, but they must keep their original aspirations, otherwise they will only be fleeting like shooting stars.
