A good movie can get you into the play in a second.
The same is true for good TV series! "Flowers" premiered 4 episodes, and I also watched 4 episodes, and I didn't waste a second.
I was so engrossed that I ate half of the fruit bowl I prepared. Even though the fruit is sweet, it is still a little worse than good film and television works.
After the show was broadcast, the ratings of CCTV 8 soared, and then won the first place in the national ratings.
This achievement proves that there are still many viewers who, like me, feel the charm of "Flowers"!
After watching 4 episodes in a row, I have to sigh that Hu Ge has got a good script again, and he is going to be popular again! And Wong Kar-wai is worthy of being a great director, the camera editing is dazzling, and the storytelling is also first-class.
After reading it, I glanced at Douban, and the evaluation given by the audience was surprisingly consistent, and several pages in a row were praised!
1: Entry
Shanghai in 1992 was beautiful with neon and a sea of flowers.
Ah Bao (played by Hu Ge) is ambitious, drills the door, and supports the market, in order to seize the fleeting opportunity in the rolling red dust, ride the wind, and become the most successful businessman on the Yellow River.
With her hair shiny combed, her suit and tie eye-catching, Po shuttles through the neon-lit Shanghai night scene.
He is full of self-confidence and radiance, doing business here, the most important thing is to give others a reliable feeling, clothing is character, scene work, or must not be sloppy.
On this day, Po went to the appointment as scheduled, took a box full of money, and walked out of the door in style.
Outside the door, the cameras flashed non-stop, and everyone greeted Po, his confident smile showing that he was extraordinary.
However, the moment Po opened the car door, a strong light flashed, and Po couldn't even open his eyes.
Then, a yellow taxi went straight at Po, and with a bang, Po was knocked to the ground, his face covered in blood, his suitcase was knocked open, and money was scattered everywhere.
So, Po was sent to the hospital.
After rescue, it is considered to be a worry-free life.
However, the hospital corridor is a mess, and Po's friends are chattering.
However, an old man walked over, waved his hand, and the scene immediately quieted down, he came to Bao's side and asked Bao if he still knew him.
This person is none other than Jigong!
Ah, no, it's Grandpa!
Uncle is Bao's first partner in business, and he can also be said to be a military advisor.
Uncle was born a business wizard, and Ah Bao was sincere enough to pull Uncle out of the mountain at that time.
What did the uncle ask him to do, what did he do, he did it when he lost money, and he didn't forget the agreement when he made a lot of money, holding a sack of money, and waited for his uncle on the road for a day.
This kind of tenacity is what my uncle wants to see.
If you want to do big business, you can't do it if you don't have a child's house, you can't do it if you don't have the ability to resist pressure and have no credit.
And as soon as the story of Ah Bao and Uncle was finished, I was already completely involved in the play.
How did Po make his fortune?
Who are his friends?
Why was he hit?
And who was the person who hit him?
What grievances are there between Po and the murderer?
A scene throws out so many burdens, leading to the main plot of "Flowers".
2: Perception
I watched the first 4 episodes of "Prosperous".
Now there are only two words in my head!
Mr. Bao!
Good guy, after watching these four episodes, my mind is full of pictures of Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge, it's not too cool!
After watching 4 episodes of "Flowers", if you want to ask me what my first impression is, I will say it is an illusion of time and space.
I don't know if Wong Kar-wai's old Shanghai is too beautiful, or if Shanghai in the 90s was like this.
The yellowed and dazzling neon signs always give people a dreamlike feeling, which makes people can't believe that this is Shanghai in the 90s.
The first 2 episodes of "Flowers" are mainly in the foreshadowing of the plot, through a car accident, to elicit everyone's reaction to Mr. Bao's injury.
Then, the main plot began to be paved. One character after another appeared on the stage, different ages, different occupations, but they had the same expectations for making money.
Before watching "Flowers", I thought Wong Kar-wai was going to make "Flowers" into a romantic drama, in this trailer, it is Tang Yan, Ma Yili, and Xin Zhilei, which one of them comes out, they may be a pair with the Bao group.
After reading it, I found that I still underestimated Wong Kar-wai's ability and misjudged his romance.
I don't dare to say the plot later, but in the first four episodes, Ah Bao played by Hu Ge, who is a proper business upstart, the entrepreneurial process is thrilling, and the appearance of business planning is not too tasteful.
can shoot the domineering president with a down-to-earth cool taste, Wong Kar-wai's ability is really not covered.
3: How's the acting?
After watching 4 episodes of "Flowers", several main characters have basically appeared, and on the whole, I feel that the acting skills of all the staff are online, and there is no role that lags behind, it seems that Wong Kar-wai has kept improving his works and has played a big role.
Among the many actors, there are 3 actors who have created characters, which left a deep impression on me.
First, You Benchang
In the play, You Benchang plays the role of his uncle.
is Bao's military advisor, and in business, Uncle is a talent, and he is helping Bao everywhere. It was Uncle Grandpa who helped Bao earn the first pot of gold, and after Bao was injured, it was Uncle Grandpa who stepped forward to help Bao stabilize the situation.
Seriously, before watching "Flowers", I saw You Benchang coming to participate in this play, I really thought that he was here to play a show, there would not be too many scenes, just to support the scene, after all, You Benchang is 90 years old, and age waits for no one.
However, after watching 4 episodes, I found that You Benchang turned out to be the first surprise of the show, under his shaping, Uncle is flesh and blood, and there are not many scenes, but as long as he appears, it must be a highlight scene.
In several scenes, You Benchang partnered with Hu Ge, and they all stole the limelight.
It seems that the old drama bones are really the old drama bones, the teacher is the teacher, Hu Ge and You Benchang played together, Hu Ge can be regarded as finding a good teacher this time.
Second, Hu Ge
In this play, Hu Ge plays Ah Bao, as mentioned earlier, since watching a few episodes, there are only two words in my mind, and that is Ah Bao. Ah Po shouted out from the mouths of various characters, and my ears were almost calloused when I heard it.
Of course, every sound of Ah Bao is accompanied by Hu Ge's handsome figure. Under his shaping, Ah Bao has different charms in different clothes, and different eyes have different cool handsomeness.
Suits, ties, watches, slow steps.
Seriously, even Po is on crutches, he looks so handsome.
After watching the whole 4 episodes, Hu Ge's performance should be said to have successfully completed the role. took on the responsibility of a leading role.
Third, Dong Yong
In addition to the two protagonists, there is also a supporting character's performance that is eye-catching.
This person is Dong Yong, the actor of Mr. Fan.
Before watching "Flowers", Dong Yong had a lot of scenes in the trailer and exaggerated acting skills, and I thought he was a trickster at the time. However, after watching several scenes in a row, the more I watched it, the more flavorful it became.
This time, Dong Yong was different from the past, he didn't put on the act, but let go of himself, whether it was his body movements or facial expressions, it was all open and closed.
Rustic, bragging, vanity, but also thoughtful.
At first glance, he is a real businessman.
Personally, I am very much looking forward to Dong Yong's performance in the follow-up plot, and I hope he can continue to amaze the audience and contribute more highlight scenes.
4: What to watch next?
After Po was hit, everyone related to him was called for questioning. And from this, more information about Ah Bao has also been extended.
Ah Bao did a lot of business with his uncle, and it didn't take long for him to become the most popular businessman on the Yellow River Road. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and Ah Bao has gradually been favored by the bosses of the Kirin Club since he was a child, and promised to pull him to make a lot of money together.
However, a game that was originally used to test Po made a big mistake because of the information leaked by Po's friend. In order to make a big profit, Uncle Gen invested all his belongings and lost a lot of money, but because he couldn't bear the pressure, he died.
And Commander Cai's little lover, the proprietress of the Golden Phoenix Restaurant, also went in to kill, and the result was also a loss. As for the mysterious Qilin Society, it is not much better, and it has also planted a big heel.
It turned out that because Commander Cai leaked the news, the Qilin Club suffered huge losses, and the bigwigs planned to kick Po out. And after Uncle Gen died, his son put the account on Ah Bao's head, and in a fit of anger, in order to take revenge, he drove a car and hit Ah Bao.
The case is not difficult to investigate, Reiko, as the boss of Night Tokyo, has the means and the way, and it didn't take long to find out clearly.
Faced with the leakage of news about Commander Cai, Ah Bao did not complain about Commander Cai, but covered the bottom for him. Because, Bao's first pot of gold in the early years was completed with the help of Commander Cai, and he wanted to repay the favor.
However, the proprietress of the Golden Phoenix Restaurant ran away, and a new owner Li Li came! She spent a huge amount of money to buy this hotel, and then spent a lot of money to package it, and turned it into a new upstart on the Yellow River Road.
Before Zhizhen Garden opened, Li Li had already begun to lay out, he invited stars from all walks of life, and even invited movie stars. However, if you want to say who is the most popular in the businessman circle on the Yellow River Road, it still belongs to Mr. Bao, who was just hit by a car.
Li Li invited several times, wanting to take advantage of Mr. Bao's popularity to get off to a good start, but was rejected every time.
So, Li Li started the idea of Mr. Bao's partner Mr. Fan (played by Dong Yong), and wanted to force Mr. Bao out of the mountain through Mr. Fan to win a personal game. Kebao saw through everything from the beginning, and let Li Li stir up, and he didn't move.
In the latest plot, Mr. Wei wants to cooperate with Mr. Fan and pry Mr. Bao's list.
However, what he didn't expect was that Mr. Fan was holding a large number of orders, and with his ability, he couldn't eat it at all.
So, Mr. Wei wasted a lot of money in vain, and he was happy, but he made a wedding dress for Mr. Bao.
However, the business war on the Yellow River Road has just begun, and the cooperation between Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan has shown his strength. But at the same time, he also made enemies in one battle, not to mention anything else, Li Li, the owner of Zhizhenyuan, and Mr. Wei must be dissatisfied with him.
So, whether Mr. Bao can continue to dominate the shopping mall, and how the showdown between him and Li Li will develop, will be the biggest highlight in the follow-up plot, after all, in the business field, we still have to compete in business.
