"Flowers" is finally here!
From the initial preparation to the completion of the shooting, Wong Kar-wai played this game of chess for 6 years. And now that the winners and losers can finally be revealed, is it good or not?
Looking at Douban's word-of-mouth evaluation, it is polarized.
To the praisers, he said: "When the aesthetic is downgraded, Wong Kar-wai is really a treasure knife", "I can feel the sincerity in restoring the taste of Shanghai".
But the person who gave the bad review bluntly said: ""Small Times 5: The Age of Flowers", "It's like sprinkling caviar on a pot of yellow stewed chicken, no one can play the flavor that should have been." "It seems that the boiled water should also be paired with an enamel cup with gold edges, and the night view of the Huangpu River will be sold to you for seven or eight thousand, and you are not allowed to bargain." ”
And in my opinion, the biggest problem with this show is the so-called-
Cinematic.
Movies may be romantic or melancholy, but TV series are fragments of life, and they are realistic and down-to-earth.
The story of the first 4 episodes is suspended, pretended, hypocritical, and contrived.
The only highlight is that the lineup is strong, and there are many powerful actors and actors, but this is the same stage, it is inevitable that there will be a comparison between the high and low, whose performance is the most brilliant?
If anyone can find a way to survive this game of dead chess, it must be You Benchang.
As soon as this old man appeared, the sense of the rivers and lakes of old Shanghai came to his face.
In the play, he plays the master's uncle, who is old, has spicy eyes and hard wrists.
Seeing Bao's stunned youth, he didn't have much interest in helping at first, and gave a few words of advice, and his casual appearance was really a kind of hidden master.
And it wasn't until Po passed his test, changed into a suit, and planned to show off his strength in Shanghai, that the old man's eyes lit up and his expression moved, as if he saw himself in high spirits when he was young.
The performance of the drama bones is as steady as Mount Tai, one look, one action, is enough to make people enter the play.
Another person who amazed the audience was Xin Zhilei.
She seems to be really a beauty who came out of the Shanghai Pictorial in the 90s, with a plump figure, three-dimensional facial features, wearing exquisite dresses, noble and strong.
It can be said that Xin Zhilei's beauty was photographed by Wong Kar-wai for her soul.
At the same time, she plays Li Li who is a very attractive female character.
Came to Shanghai alone from Shenzhen and carved out his own path in the bustling Shanghai.
Looking at her shrewd eyes, I knew that this person was not simple, and he was thinking about something.
When Li Li heard that the person who bumped into Mr. Bao was found, he wiped his lipstick, and his eyes were cold. Then he returned to the same state and replied lightly: "Good thing".
A good actor can use his acting skills to create a character, and he can also use his acting skills to provide suspense, and he can't help but be curious about the story behind the character.
I think after this drama, Xin Zhilei should become popular.
Also, Dong Yong.
has seen him play a righteous policeman and a hero who values love and righteousness, and it is rare to see Dong Yong play a small person.
Unexpectedly, in the new play, he turned into a businessman begging for a living under Mr. Bao, with a familiar taste of sycophancy, and a flattering smile on his face was natural.
When most of the actors were working hard to pretend to be high-end, only Dong Yong fell on the ground and performed the fireworks of the little people.
In addition, Tao Tao played by Chen Long also has the real texture of a small person of the era, righteous and true temperament, there are not many scenes, but it adds points to the overall acting quality, which is the correct way to open the supporting role.
There are good acting skills in a drama, and there will also be bad acting skills, and there are three questionable actors in "Flowers", who have dragged down their reputation by themselves.
The first place, Hu Ge.
"Langya Bang" and "The Pretender" are classics, but in recent years, Hu Ge's acting skills have not made any breakthroughs, and the response of "Hunting Ground" and "County Party Committee Compound" is far less than that of previous works.
And in the new play, Hu Ge once again provoked the main beam, obviously powerless.
He played Ah Bao in the early stage of an ambitious young man, if it was the previous Hu Ge, he would have played that kind of youthful energy.
But now Hu Ge is only left with an extremely blunt and forcibly pretending to be tender performance, and by the side of You Benchang's old drama bones, it seems that he can't get on the stage.
After the character became "Mr. Bao", Hu Ge's temperament is more appropriate now, but he suddenly became mature and stable, and his painting style changed too much.
And this kind of boss-style performance, drinking, raising eyebrows, pretending, and three consecutive moves almost gave goosebumps to the ground.
It can only be said that the refreshing Mei Changsu is gone.
second place, Tang Yan.
Probably watching the careers of the 85 flowers move forward steadily, Tang Yan is also a lot anxious, not only frequently participating in variety shows this year, but also squeezing into Wong Kar-wai's works, presumably to become popular with this new work.
It's a pity that in terms of appearance and temperament, the female No. 2 Tang Yan can't compare to the female No. 3 Xin Zhilei.
I don't know when it started, Tang Yan's face also began to stiffen, her eye sockets were sunken, her nasolabial folds were obvious, and her age was a fact that there was no way to hide.
If it's just about acting skills, Tang Yan is also a shortcoming in the whole play.
The Miss Wang she plays is still a "silly white sweet", with her original lines in her throat, which sounds uncomfortable, and she crooks her neck and stares when she speaks, and her acting skills are quite embarrassing.
In the promotional event, Dong Yong accidentally revealed that Tang Yan filmed a scene 86 times.
And she hurriedly said at the scene: "I didn't understand it before, I thought that one pass was very powerful, but now I think that one pass is not the standard, in fact, we can have more inspiration." ”
It is said that Wong Kar-wai is demanding, and actor NG is a common thing, but filming 86 times is too exaggerated, is it excellence, or is it too strong?
If the reason is the latter, then 86 times have passed, it may be that Wong Kar-wai realizes that Tang Yan's potential has been squeezed dry, and there is no need to continue.
third place, Ma Yili.
As a Shanghainese, Ma Yili's Shanghainese lines are not a problem, but her acting skills are too contrived, and she works hard to perform the shrewdness and ability of the Shanghai female boss, but she shakes her head and feels too bad throughout the whole process.
In the play, her position is the female number one, and at present, her performance is not as likable as Xin Zhilei, which is a big disappointment.
watched 4 episodes of "Flowers" and found that the acting skills cannot be compared at all, because the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.
You Benchang's acting skills are stable, Xin Zhilei has a high appearance, Dong Yong's play is too good, and the three supporting roles have played a 100% level, adding luster to the play and making people shine.
However, the male protagonist Hu Ge, the female protagonist Ma Yili, and the female No. 2 Tang Yan failed to carry the drama, their acting skills were crotch-pulling, and their appearance was average, which was really uninteresting.
Watching this drama has a feeling of scratching the itch in the boots, obviously the theme and script are good, but the shooting is almost meaningless.
It seems that if a film director wants to shoot a TV series, there are barriers in itself, so it's easy not to be too confident.
So do you think this drama is good, and whose performance pokes you the most?
