Who is it that can afford to spend ten years of energy and devote to a drama, and the actors are willing to do it?
The answer is obvious: Wong Kar-wai.
That's right, it's "Flowers".
It took 3 years to shoot this drama alone, how important is 3 years for the first-line actors in the rising period?
Hu Ge, Ma Yili and Tang Yan, just like that, waited for 3 years before contributing a Wang Bang work.
As the first TV series work of a domestic ceiling-level director, "Flowers" can be said to have earned enough face.
In the first round, Xingyang Eight appeared as a New Year's Eve drama, CCTV repeatedly named Amway, and sure enough, he won the championship directly at the beginning.
On the first day, two episodes were broadcast, and 4 episodes were released on the webcast platform, and the average rating directly broke 2, and even the peak value has reached 2.6.
Needless to say, the popularity is well deserved.
is so swift that it really deserves to be the final king bomb of the year.
But what surprised me was that when I clicked on the comment area, the word-of-mouth trend was very obvious, and everyone's evaluation of the bad reviews was surprisingly consistent-
The data is the best of the year, but the word-of-mouth has formed a stark contrast, why does "Flowers" attract different voices?
The show has begun.
Of course, since it is the work of director Wong Kar-wai, the lens is naturally not said.
Especially in terms of the harmony of tones and the grasp of the shooting angle of the actors, watching Wong Kar-wai's works, you will have a feeling of being washed at the moment when you click on the feature film.
He can shoot the atmosphere of the market and make you feel warm with the picture, which is a tension that can be fully integrated without hearing just looking at static stills.
The contrast of light and shadow is even more unique, this kind of black but not dark, the combination of virtual and real, is obviously a black tone, and the actors are still radiant.
It's really good-looking.
However, it is only a visual look.
In the process of chasing dramas, there is always a feeling of good looks and bad looks, almost every frame is "working", every shot is busy, but I don't know what the show is busy with when I see it.
The plot is well designed, and the opening chapter kicks off with a car accident.
However, most of the shots are flashy and unrealistic, and I can understand the form of a large dialogue in Shanghai, but for the whole two episodes, there is basically nothing to say.
The movie tells a whole story in two hours, and it will look very advanced with various shooting techniques in the middle, and on the small screen, once the story is elongated, too many flashy things are added in the middle, and the audience will feel "tired".
It can be seen from the service that everyone is very good, and when they almost didn't stop, all kinds of conversations were on the audience's faces, but where was the cow and what was there to do.
Everyone talks about business, what business they talk about, what they talk about, and what they talk about, but there is no specific content at all.
There is still a slight plot of business war in the front, but the plot before and after the camera turns is not very related, and the story has passed.
Then there is a group of people getting together and arguing, and the people who are going to fight are just bluffing, and those who are secretly observing do not know what is to observe, and they don't know what everyone is pretending.
After watching four episodes, the real plot is like a child's play.
If you want to give me face, he also has to give me face, if you don't give me face, I will put on my face, I don't know why I can't explain the plain, I will put it if I am not happy.
The passers-by next to him kept sighing, this person is a good cow, that person is a good cow, anyway, I can't say one, two, three.
I thought it was a business war drama, but I didn't expect it to be a "pretend" conference.
Seriously, Hu Ge is so handsome.
Under Wong Kar-wai's lens, Hu Ge is full of hormones, and even the scars at the corners of his eyes have become an embellishment of charm.
The Shanghainese dialect is too slippery, the original lines are stress-free, sonorous and powerful, very clear, although there are not too many highlight moments to show acting skills, but it is enough to cooperate with the aura of the tall.
You Benchang's acting skills can be said to be beaten by the audience, he is too stable.
From the tone of the lines to the details of every look, he and Hu Ge are playing in the same frame, which always gives me the feeling that the big guy is flying, Hu Ge's powerful aura is automatically half short, and sure enough, the old drama bones are the old drama bones.
Sure enough, Ma Yili is still more suitable for this style.
However, her makeup always makes me feel too modern, I don't know if it's a matter of makeup or hairstyle, but she didn't have many scenes in the first few episodes, and she also caught it steadily against Hu Ge.
After all, there is no need to say much about the matching of the after-view and the emperor.
Xin Zhilei is more beautiful.
The sexy and strong Hong Kong style is simply easy for her, every move and style is full of charm, Xin Zhilei can use a non-explicit way to seduce you with her eyes.
The above actors, as expected, are online in appearance, and their acting skills are okay, after all, Wong Kar-wai didn't say anything about casting.
But, as soon as Tang Yan appeared on the scene, I was stunned-
Why is this sister swollen?
In fact, Tang Yan's lines are good, as an authentic Shanghainese, Shanghainese is naturally handy, and the lines in the Shanghainese version are obviously more natural than Mandarin.
It's just that when she was acting, she obviously felt a little restless, her Shanghainese pronunciation was a little sharp, her voice was also sharp, and with her excited tone, she was very noisy as soon as she appeared.
still remembers that the old drama bone Dong Yong was at the roadshow site, saying that Tang Yan had 86 scenes to shoot, and admired her dedication very much.
It seems that it is not easy to shoot the works directed by Wong Kar-wai, plus to play against Hu Ge and Ma Yili.
I only hope that with the development of the plot, Tang Yan's character line can be supported, and there should be more subversive shapes in the future, which may bring different surprises to the audience.
epilogue
Although 4 episodes have been released, after savoring it, you will find that there is really nothing.
Maybe it's "the boar can't eat the chaff", director Wong Kar-wai's delicate and advanced shots are certainly good-looking, but the substantiation of the plot is the essence of the TV series.
Of course, if it's a movie, I still believe he can grasp it just right, but if an episode of a TV series is nearly 50 minutes, if it is full of dialogue or colorful useless background shots, the audience's emotions must disappear with the passage of time.
Of course, maybe the climactic plot will have a different effect.
Obviously, Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" won the first battle against Gao Jie, as for whether he can have the last laugh and become the king of the first wave of ratings in the new year, let's wait and see! #记录我的12月#
