html The ultimate drama at the end of 2009 has arrived.As soon as "Flowers" was broadcast, it quickly aroused the excitement of the entire Internet. Just search for the word "Flowers" and more than a dozen hot search terms will be directly in front of netizens. Needless to say, the ratings of
were only released for two episodes. The highest ratings soared to 2.6, and the average was as high as 1.9, making it a well-deserved ratings champion.
There is no doubt that "Flowers" is already the most popular work at the moment.
clicked to open the comment area. Unsurprisingly, it received rave reviews. Netizens could not say one word about "ugly". There is no doubt about Wong Kar-wai's level. The whole drama is a visual feast.
This time, we will analyze the highlights of "Flowers" from three aspects -
Ma Yili's acting skills
I have to say that this kind of original Shanghai-style work is suitable for Ma Yili.
Her appearance in this drama has not even changed much, but as soon as Ma Yili appears on the scene, the audience will always feel that she is full of the momentum of the heroine.
Most of Ma Yili's scenes are actually relatively mediocre. Compared to Tang Yan, she only interacted with Hu Ge, and they were all sitting scenes, with little room for development.
But Ma Yili can use some small movements to make dull scenes interesting without making people feel redundant.
When she found out that all the guests had been stolen, she didn't believe it at first, and then she found out it was true after looking at the bill.
Hearing the clerk say that the restaurant next door had newly opened, everyone went over to join in the fun. Ma Yili slowly turned her head around. She was slightly stunned for a moment, and then sneered: What's the big deal, it will have to close sooner or later.
I’m going to roll my eyes to the sky.
The tsundere's Xiao Jin is very well controlled, and the slight shaking of her body is even more amazing. Ma Yili makes such movements very naturally.
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like for a woman in her 40s to pretend to be arrogant and fight with men.
The 47-year-old Ma Yili actually made me feel the cuteness of this woman in the play.
Only after seeing Reiko and Brother Bao bickering, the audience can really understand the vividness of the characters, and it is natural and unobtrusive when they are substituted outside the play.
Reiko looks carefree on the surface, but is actually very delicate on the inside.
Hidden behind the scenes, one look from Ma Yili can reveal Lingzi's true methods and ruthlessness as the female boss.
Everything was said without saying anything. This time I finally saw Shi Hou’s strength.
Xin Zhilei’s face
In fact, I have always felt that Xin Zhilei’s appearance level is not outstanding in the entire domestic entertainment industry.
Because she is like this in urban dramas -
is indeed very recognizable, but it always feels like she lacks a bit of visual impact.
Especially the appearance in costume dramas is neither foreign nor earthy. Although the facial features are very three-dimensional, people can't get it.
However, in Wong Kar-Wai's shots, I completely felt that this sister's appearance was shocking.
uses her beauty to "carry out evil". Every shot of Xin Zhilei in the play is like a magazine blockbuster, with big wavy hair, red lips, and a dress of just the right size.
is beautiful, really beautiful.
This is the first time that I can see the sexy and graceful features simply from my face.
This woman actually only wore rich red lips, and her eye makeup was basically invisible, but she perfectly showed the superiority of her facial features.
Especially with Xin Zhilei's fierce and arrogant expression, Li Li even feels like a heroine.
Such a hairstyle with a sense of the times, in fact, most people cannot control the current domestic entertainment.
This also reflects the advantages of Xin Zhilei's facial features. Her relatively broad facial features and rounded facial contours are a perfect match for her bob haircut and will not overwhelm her.
Moreover, her piercing eyes can perfectly interpret the psychological activities of the characters. I think Director Wong Kar-Wai's lens also favors her.
In my opinion, the most different thing about Xin Zhilei from other characters is her "relaxation".
is also a female boss in Shanghai. Others are chattering and shaking their heads, but Xin Zhilei is relaxed.
Her performance was subdued. Success or failure depended on this, but Xin Zhilei performed Li Li's "arrogance" from the bottom of her heart.
She doesn't show her emotions too much. Even if she is tricked, she gnashes her teeth secretly. As soon as she turns around, all her emotions disappear.
Among the several female characters, I dare to say that Xin Zhilei is definitely the one who fits the character the best.
Li Li, if she were any other person, she would never be able to perform such an eye-catching effect. She even sat there with only half of her face exposed, which was pleasing to the eye. Who could watch this without being confused.
Hu Ge’s clothes
I suspect that Hu Ge wore all his own clothes when filming.
He wears a business style in the play, all of which are dark-colored clothes, but he is very particular about matching them. He is like a walking clothes rack, fully interpreting "low-key luxury".
The color that appears the most is black.
In the early years, Brother Bao had not yet reached the level of the "richest man" and did not dress so well.
The light blue shirt paired with a floral tie proves that he is still in his restless age. He wears a black suit over it, and his whole body looks "rustic".
is also in blue and black.
is all dressed up, and his high-end style is immediately apparent.
Black vest with light blue, the contrast is obvious, and it can highlight the curve of the shoulders under the light. When the shirt turns gray blue, it has another charm.
Look at this figure, our interior entertainment has its own "double door",
And when the same vest is added with a blue striped shirt and a polka dot tie, it becomes less boring.
Sure enough, director Wong Kar-wai used a brighter face in this shot, and Hu Ge’s expression was not that serious. It is reasonable to suspect that all of Hu Ge’s outfits were specific to the director.
What if it is "black plus black"?
In fact, in TV dramas, stars rarely wear "contrasting colors", let alone "black on black". It's hard to figure out how to wear such an old-fashioned look.
But Hu Ge wore it.
The different materials of the black shirt, black tie and vest are different. The black is not so eye-catching, but still very handsome.
This kind of black hits black, Hu Ge even wore it more than once.
I think, only in director Wong Kar-Wai's shots, Hu Ge dared to wear it like this. Under different light colors, even black is not dull, especially the "red light" from the back side, which makes black more mysterious. .
With the big back and shiny head, it looks even more stylish.
When Hu Ge's character was young, the clothes he wore were "open". The shirt collar should be open, the suit jacket should be wide open, and the belt must have a logo.
In middle age, the contrast is very obvious, covering the whole body tightly, but the more low-key you are, the more noble and luxurious you can feel.
Conclusion
I think that the popularity of "Flowers" is absolutely inseparable from the cooperation between the director and the actors.
Ma Yili does not have many scenes to show off her acting skills, but she still integrates the characters into her soul. Xin Zhilei is only the third female lead, but she exudes the aura of a leading heroine.
As for Hu Ge, there is no showy or open show from beginning to end, but his momentum is already in place. Even if this guy only shows his back, the audience will be fascinated.
However, since it is a Shanghai-style film and television drama, naturally some people like it and some people complain about it. As the plot develops, there should be a lot of rivalry between actors.
Li Li and Brother Bao failed in their first battle. She will never give up. We will wait and see what kind of surprises Brother Bao will leave to the audience!
