"Flowers": A visual feast of Shanghai's memories and emotional entanglements
On the evening of December 27, 2023, the TV series "Flowers" officially met the audience. Directed by Wong Kar-wai, this work is based on Jin Yucheng's novel of the same name, and gathers a number of powerful actors such as Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, and Xin Zhilei. The story is set in Shanghai in the 90s of the last century, depicting the twists and turns of fate and emotional entanglements of a group of young people.
Compared with the original novel, the TV series version of "Flowers" pays more attention to the presentation of the picture and the rendering of emotions. Through the ingenious technique of director Wong Kar-wai, the TV series successfully transforms the imagination in the reader's mind into a real picture on the screen. In terms of costumes, props and scene design, the production team carefully restored the prosperity and vicissitudes of Shanghai, creating an immersive feeling for the audience.
The cast is one of the highlights of the show. The male protagonist A Bao played by Hu Ge, with his rich acting skills and unique charm, has successfully created a character full of life. Actresses such as Ma Yili, Tang Yan and Xin Zhilei also showed excellent acting skills, injecting more emotional color into the plot.
However, just as no work can be perfect, Blossom has some shortcomings. Some viewers think that the plot is too complicated, and the relationship between the characters is unclear, which makes it a little difficult to watch. In addition, some viewers were not satisfied with the pronunciation of Shanghainese dialect and thought that it was not authentic enough.
Overall, "Flowers", as a masterpiece with a luxurious cast, superb directing skills and a profound regional cultural background, successfully presents an excellent novel on the TV screen. Through superb acting skills and delicate character portrayal, the audience can deeply experience the social style and human feelings of Shanghai in the 90s of the last century. Although there are not many episodes that have been broadcast so far, they have already shown a high viewing value and artistic standard. With the in-depth development of the plot, we have reason to believe that "Flowers" will become a landmark TV drama masterpiece and leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese TV drama development.
