Speaking of the TV drama circle in 2023, it is really a lively stage! At the beginning of the year, the drama "Hurry Up" was like a dark horse, riding high, leaving the audience dumbfounded.
Just when everyone thought that this year's good show was over, "Three Brigades" and "Flowers" at the end of the year gave everyone a double surprise, which was like a perfect end to the year.
Among them, the drama "Flowers" is one that people talk about. In order to restore the real Shanghai style, director Wong Kar-wai really spent a lot of money and hired 90% local Shanghai actors to star. This is really exciting. After all, who doesn’t like to hear the story of Shanghai? But no one expected that just after it aired, the limelight of this drama would be stolen by an outsider!
Who is this foreigner? Why can he (or she) stand out among this group of Shanghai actors and become the focus of the audience?
Hangzhou businessman Dong Yong: a "double-faced man" both inside and outside the movie
In the bustling Shanghai Bund, a clothing businessman "Mr. Fan" from Hangzhou is busy walking among the crowd. He is the character played by Dong Yong. This native of Hangzhou is not a simple supporting role in the play, but one of the protagonists with a series of complex psychological activities and vivid performances.
I remember that scene. Mr. Bao (played by Hu Ge) invited Mr. Fan to Shanghai for the purpose of negotiating a large clothing order worth 800,000 yuan. Mr. Fan was both looking forward to it and feeling anxious. After all, this was a big deal.
However, after a bad start, Mr. Bao encountered an accident. Mr. Fan's superficial concern could not conceal his inner anxiety. What he was worried about was not Mr. Bao's safety, but whether the deal would go through.
On the Yellow River Road, Mr. Fan cleverly used his relationship with Mr. Bao to spread the news of cooperation everywhere. He is like a cunning fox, using Mr. Bao's reputation to pave the way for himself. As a new arrival, he quickly tasted the benefits, and the convenience in the business field made him feel a little elated.
At this moment, he met the fur merchant "Mr. Wei" who was jealous of Mr. Bao's reputation. The price offered by Mr. Wei was higher than Mr. Bao. Mr. Fan immediately changed his face, as if he saw greater interests waving to him. However, when he learned that Mr. Wei could not afford his big order of 800,000 yuan, he shamelessly returned to Mr. Bao, not forgetting to secretly complain about Mr. Wei.
Dong Yong vividly interprets the businessman's profit-seeking and intrigues. In the play, he is the "profiteer" who makes people love and hate him. But in real life, Dong Yong's words and deeds are also quite controversial.
From "never marrying" to meeting true love again
"I, Dong Yong, will never get married again in this life, and I will never have children again." In 2013, 45-year-old Dong Yong faced When her family members urged her to get married, her voice was firm and her eyes were determined. That failed marriage was like a huge boulder, weighing him down and making him completely lose confidence in his married life.
At that time, Dong Yong was just a fledgling actor. Meeting and getting to know his ex-wife was like a gift from fate. They started a family early, and although their life was dull, it was also full of sweetness.
He tried his best to protect this small family and prevent them from being disturbed by the outside world. However, life was far more cruel than expected. Ten years of marriage finally came to an end because Dong Yong was busy with work and neglected to accompany him.
After the divorce, Dong Yong seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He began to reflect on his past and think about the future. At the age of 38, he made a surprising decision - never to marry.
He is well aware of the helplessness and bitterness of being an actor. The long period of separation and running around makes him unable to give his family enough companionship and care. He would rather die alone than let the one he loves get hurt in the slightest.
However, fate always plays tricks. Just when Dong Yong decided to die alone, love came quietly.One day seven years later, the parents looked at their son who was still single and couldn't help but mention his marriage again. This time, they decided to use the help of relatives and friends to find a suitable partner for their son.
Under the persuasion of many relatives and friends, Dong Yong finally relented and agreed to go on a blind date. He thought it was just a perfunctory "going through the process", but he didn't expect that he actually met the right person. The encounter between
and Zheng Jiayan rekindled Dong Yong's desire for love. They hit it off immediately and chatted happily, as if their souls were already closely connected to each other.
In 2014, Dong Yong and Zheng Jiayan entered the marriage hall hand in hand. This time, he was determined to use all his strength to protect this hard-won happiness. After marriage, his wife not only gave him unlimited support and encouragement, but also expressed her willingness to be his solid backing so that he could pursue his career without any scruples.
