Hu Ge and Wang Kai are really destined to be together. They starred in "The Pretender" and "Nirvana in Fire" together, ushering in the second spring of their careers. Both of them have become the mainstay of the drama circle's male gods, and At the beginning of 2024, the two starring dramas will collide.
"Flowers" starring Hu Ge was aired on the New Year's Eve. When it was about to end, "Dajiang Dahe 3" starring Wang Kai was also aired. One was aired on CCTV 8 and the other was aired on CCTV 1. Moreover, one is almost over and the other is just beginning, so seamlessly connected that both audiences can’t miss it.
I thought this was the case, but many viewers found that after watching "Flowers", they couldn't watch "Dajiang Dahe 3" at all.
You must know that the first two parts of "Dajiang Dahe" received rave reviews from the audience, both reaching a high score of 8.8. This score is definitely considered outstanding among period dramas! For the third part, the audience has been eagerly looking forward to it. From watching the first part in 2018 to now watching the third part in early 2024, it has been more than 5 years. The final part is finally ushered in. When the release is finalized, everyone The expectations were high, but after it started airing, I felt like I couldn’t get excited about it. Why?
The reason for the long battle line of "Dajiang Dahe" is that the three films took more than 5 years. The main creators ensured the quality. It is true that slow work is done carefully, but the interval is too long, and the audience has almost forgotten the plot. It’s been 3 years since the second part. In order to let the audience connect well, the TV series also helps everyone to quickly recall it at the beginning.
But the long interval is not the main reason. The main problem is that it was broadcast after "Flowers". Although "Dajiang Dahe" has always won reputation for its quality, many people felt dull after watching "Flowers". "Flowers" is recognized as a masterpiece in many aspects such as plot, soundtrack, shots, etc. Even CCTV praised this drama as being likely to become a standalone film.
was broadcast after "Flowers", the timing was really not right. "Flowers" has such great stamina. Everyone is still immersed in the joys and sorrows of Po, Miss Wang, Uncle Ye, Li Li, Lingzi and others. The show has not yet started, so we are not at all ready to accept the new drama!
I also watched "Flowers" and then "Dajiang Dahe 3", and I felt that the latter was hit by dimensionality reduction. Both dramas are period dramas from the 1990s. "Flowers" tells the story of Shanghai in the early 1990s, where opportunities and risks coexisted, and everyone was vying for the top. Some people became rich overnight, while others lost everything in half a day. The whole scene is lively and prosperous, giving people an impact of being drunk and reveling in wealth.
And "Dajiang Dahe 3" focuses more on social development, telling the history of the struggle of every little person under the national reform. It shows the era of passion and opportunities from multiple dimensions such as state-owned enterprises, village and town collective enterprises, and private enterprises, covering a wider area.
are all from the 1990s, but because of the different regions, the impressions are completely different. People can't help but sigh that Shanghai has developed too much ahead of the curve. It feels like a prosperous city has suddenly arrived in a rural town. Fortunately, the popular "Mountains and Seas" was not broadcast at this time, otherwise the gap after watching it would probably be even greater. It's really the same era, but different destinies.
Watching "Flowers" is like the feeling when Mr. Fan first arrived on Huanghe Road. The bustling crowds, large crystal chandeliers and neon signs all along the street are really dazzling. The men and women inside are all dressed up very delicately. Especially Mr. Bao, played by Hu Ge, is stylish in suits and leather shoes. He has become a walking clothes rack, and the clothes he wears have become popular. Under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, Hu Ge even has a filter on his back, which is full of charm.
In "Dajiang Dahe 3", due to the different settings, Song Yunhui mostly wore blue or gray work clothes, without any makeup, and was very simple. Song Yunhui has always been upright, showing a serious and rigorous image every day, caring about the country and the people. Compared with Abao's romantic style, Song Yunhui is indeed very simple.
It is said that "it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality". Maybe this is how "Dajiang Dahe 3" was aired after "Flowers". The pace is not that fast, and there is a big gap between the pictures and shots. The plot at the beginning It also seemed bland and did not quickly attract the audience.
However, this drama has only been aired not long ago. Maybe after watching a few more episodes, it will get better as the plot unfolds. So, are you watching "Dajiang Dahe 3"?
