From the start of the project to final completion and finalization, the TV series "Flowers", which has been working hard for several years, has attracted much attention. "Flowers" will be broadcast on CCTV from December 27, and will be broadcast exclusively on Tencent Video.
"Flowers" is adapted from Jin Yucheng's Mao Dun Literature Award-winning novel of the same name. Wong Kar-wai serves as the producer and chief director. This is the first TV series directed by him. The play is written by Qin Wen and stars Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, etc. It tells the story of the burning years of Shanghai's spring breeze in the 1990s.
After releasing two trailers in 2021 and 2022, as the series is finalized, the third trailer of "Flowers" is officially released. Wong Kar-wai explained: "We have released two trailers. The first one is the Po chapter, called "Time is like water"; the second one is the Bao chapter, called "Eyefuls of Flowers"; the last one is about the times, because Our story is about how Po, who had nothing, turned into the all-powerful Mr. Bao within ten years. His magnificent transformation, in addition to his personal struggle, also requires the blessing of the times. We choose Black Panther's "No Place to Conceal" ", because it represents the vitality, passion, sorrow and joy of countless A Bao in that era."
The drama revolves around the story of A Bao (played by Hu Ge). In the early 1990s, everyone was competing for the top spot. A Bao became Mr. Bao, he had successes and failures, and left a legend among the young people in Shanghai. There have been times of splendor and splendor, and there have been times of long flowing water. Men and women have gone up and down, expressing the friendship of an era. Everyone thinks that eating Bao will determine the future, but no one knows about Bao's past, where dreams pile up and a goldfish flickers in and out.
The Shanghai boss lady played by Ma Yili is exquisite and clear, and she will not let go of the hawk when she sees the rabbit; the Puxi Pearl played by Tang Yan has a tiger in her heart and will not look back until she hits the south wall; In the turbulent era when Shen Jiang's children were full of ambitions, they were the most beautiful scenery in Shanghai, blooming with their own style.
Yellow River Road, as a modern show and symbol of the times in the drama series "Flowers", presents the fate of men and women in Shanghai. It has been restored to a 1:1 real-life setting by the crew and has also officially appeared in previous trailers. The Yellow River Road, which was the first landmark at that time, was the place where everyone in the play rushed to set foot on to pursue their dreams.
From the three trailers, the audience can have a glimpse of the style of Shanghai in the 1980s and 1990s. From the Peace Hotel to the customs bell on the Bund, from the Orthodox Church to the street corners and alleys, it shows the gorgeous Shanghai, but there are also traces of the times; the neat group exercises in the office and the hurried delivery of water masters outline the grandeur of Shanghai. A detailed picture of the times. Just like what Shanghai A Bao said, "Time is like water, bringing people and things with it."
