CCTV will start broadcasting tomorrow night! Led by Hu Ge and Ma Yili, 30 episodes of period dramas, the king of the new year is coming!
In 2023, the countdown has officially begun.
This year's domestic drama, the giant screen opened by CCTV, and it will also end perfectly by CCTV.
I still remember that at the beginning of the year, a "Hurricane" caused a wave of people chasing dramas, and the three generations of ordinary people were in the same house, and it was rare to sit in front of the TV together and wait quietly, sighing for the fate of the characters in the play.
At the end of the year, CCTV also released a bombshell - "Flowers".
This high-quality drama, which lasted for 6 years, finally came to the news of the finalization after several turnovers, on the evening of December 27, the prime time of the Central Eight was officially broadcast, and Tencent Video was broadcast simultaneously.
Wong Kar-wai, Hu Ge, Jin Yucheng.
These names alone are enough to make people look forward to it.
Entering the film industry in 1982, Wong Kar-wai has been working on this track for 41 years.
During this period, there are countless masterpieces, and all kinds of trophies are soft, it can be said that he is a well-deserved Taishan Beidou in the film industry.
has been in the film for 41 years, Wong Kar-wai has been making movies, and "Flowers" is the first TV series he filmed.
Because of this, the audience is full of expectations.
Judging from the trailer released so far, every shot is extremely exquisite, whether it is light and shadow, composition, or photography, and picture, it all presents a movie-like texture.
Actor Dong Yong once joked, saying that every scene in "Flowers" was filmed 800 times.
The number 800 must be exaggerated, but it can also be seen from the side that Wong Kar-wai is serious and strict.
As we all know, Wong Kar-wai is a ghost director praised by everyone, and he is also the "devil instructor" that actors fear, Carina Lau, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung...... All the actors who have worked with him have not been spared.
Despite this, Wong Kar-wai is still a mountain in the minds of countless actors, and he is the object of their longing.
Ang Lee praised Wong Kar-wai as a true genius.
He always brings out the most glamorous side of an actor.
Hu Ge, who became famous at a young age, became Bai Yueguang in the minds of countless people with the role of Li Xiaoyao, and then a conspiracy drama "Langya Bang" completed the gorgeous transformation from an idol to a powerful faction.
It can be said that Hu Ge is at the peak of his debut, and what is even more rare is that he has stayed at the peak steadily, and he has never fallen off for so many years.
It's a pity that Hu Ge's film and television works have decreased sharply in the past two years, and after "Hunting Ground" in 2017, the audience finally waited for "County Party Committee Compound" starring him.
"Flowers" was filmed before "County Party Committee Compound", but the filming cycle was too long, and after 3 years of polishing, it finally met everyone.
This time, he plays the male protagonist A Bao in the play, a native of Shanghai, a trendsetter who seizes the right time.
The whole drama is based on Ah Bao, and through his life of struggle, he reproduces Shanghai at that time and the vigorous state of young people in that era.
Hu Ge's acting skills, there is no doubt that this role is handed over to him, and there is absolutely no problem.
Jin Yucheng, a contemporary writer, winner of the Lu Xun Literature Award and Mao Dun Literature Award, "Flowers" is his award-winning work, and this drama is also adapted from the novel of the same name.
With the foundation of excellent literary works, coupled with Wong Kar-wai's masterful directing skills, as well as Hu Ge's superb acting skills and national blessings, this drama is bound to set off another round of drama chasing craze.
Except for these 3 big names, look at the cast, all of them are powerful.
Ma Yili
can suppress Hu Ge, Ma Yili is one.
"Flowers" is based on Bao's struggle life, and on Bao's growth road, Reiko is the same existence as the eldest sister.
Hu Ge described the relationship between Ah Bao and Lingzi, one is Zhu Bajie and the other is Sun Wukong.
Lingzi, played by Ma Yili, is a proprietress with great powers, slaying demons and demons for Bao, while Bao's success is sitting.
As a native of Shanghai, Ma Yili shows the tone of Shanghainese to the fullest.
Her own life experience is also quite up and down, and her personality has a lot in common with Reiko.
To be honest, apart from Ma Yili, I can't think of a second person who can play this role.
Tang Chang
An actor is a character who is chosen, and throughout his life, he may be waiting for a role, some people have waited for it, and some people have not waited.
met "Flowers" and met Miss Wang, Tang Yan was lucky.
She has always shown people with a sweet smile, and is affectionately called "Sugar Candy" by fans, and is a representative of sweet beauty stars.
Probably the smile is too beautiful and the appearance is too sweet, so that the audience ignores her acting skills and only sees her beauty.
This time, Wong Kar-wai did the opposite, let her wear heavy glasses, a work uniform, and threw it into the crowd, which was a female worker in the workplace of that era, grizzled and vibrant.
Of course, Miss Wang is Bao's most loyal partner and follower, and they endure hardships together, start a business together, and get rich together.
Just like Hu Ge said, Ah Bao and Miss Wang are the relationship between the hour hand and the minute hand, and the two of them go hand in hand in the torrent of the times.
"Flowers" is Bao's growth history, and there is also the trajectory of Miss Wang going upstream.
Xin Zhilei
After watching the trailer, who doesn't sigh: Xin Zhilei is beautiful!
is obviously not the most beautiful actress, but she is glamorous and gorgeous in the camera!
It is said that Wong Kar-wai gave her all the shots of Maggie Cheung in the past, or looked up and smiled, or turned his head to look back, and smiled, which was moving.
The character of Li Li is also the one with the most sense of story.
Lingzi and Miss Wang are both Po's best friends, but Li Li played by Xin Zhilei is different, she is here to smash the scene.
An outsider who wants to take root in Shanghai and open a restaurant on Huanghe Road single-handedly is not an ordinary person.
However, her Zhizhen Garden is not only a high-end restaurant, but also a vanity fair, with complex interpersonal relationships and eight immortals.
can envelop the relationship between all parties, and is also at ease, this boss lady is indeed not simple.
After watching the trailer, I feel that Xin Zhilei is the chosen Li Li, with a variety of styles and domineering leaks.
The rivalry between her and Hu Ge is even more tense and full of expectations.
You Benchang
There is a magic to a good actor, as long as he is there, your attention will be unconsciously attracted to him.
Mr. You Benchang is such an actor.
Even if in this group photo, the visual center is on Hu Ge, but you always unconsciously look at the little old man next to you.
To a certain extent, Mr. You Benchang carries the childhood and youth of a generation.
What impresses everyone the most is his "Living Buddha Jigong", in recent years, he has rarely appeared, and occasionally has film and television works, but only cameos.
This time, he played the role of Uncle in "Flowers", a noble man of Bao, who has experienced the world and is accommodating and open-minded.
Teacher You has a lot of scenes, and the audience can watch enough.
Zheng Kai
The largest conspicuous bag in the whole play, played by Zheng Kai.
Probably because the image of the variety show is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that everyone almost forgets that he is a professional actor who graduated from the play.
In his heyday, he also partnered with Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi, and played the male lead in the play.
In fact, Zheng Kai's acting skills are not weak, and "Flowers" is a good time for him to prove himself.
Lin Xilei
When I saw the name, I was taken aback, I hadn't seen her for too long.
The years have never defeated the beauty, even if it is just a fleeting shot, it is full of myths.
So far, I don't know the specific role played by Lin Xilei, but looking at the posture, it must be a key figure to put the finishing touch.
Huang Jue
Like Lin Xilei, Huang Jue does not have many scenes, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, but it makes people look forward to it.
In the cast, there are also Chen Long, Wu Yue, and Dong Yong, no wonder netizens are joking, saying that this drama uses Hu Ge's connections, and all the people invited are him and his friends.
In 2023, CCTV will start with a "Hurricane" and conclude with a "Flowers".
I believe that choosing this drama as the ending in 2023 and the beginning of 2024, CCTV must have its deep meaning.
It's like the side of a sunken boat, a little sail, and it will eventually usher in a flash of flowers.
