Preamble:
As a veteran film and television drama fan, I believe everyone is also full of expectations for this year's domestic drama market, after all, you can always find one suitable for you among so many wonderful works.
When it comes to the topic works in the domestic drama market this year, I believe everyone will be familiar with it, that is, "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan and other powerful actors.
This drama has attracted much attention since its inception, not only because of its strong production team and outstanding cast, but more importantly, the storyline and filming techniques of this drama are different.
It can be said that "Flowers" has successfully exploded the entire domestic drama market with its unique charm and has become the last "heavyweight bomb" in 2023.
So, what is the reason why "Flowers" can detonate the domestic drama market? and what are the highlights that make the audience look forward to it? Next, let's take a deep dive.
1. "Flowers" opens the "Wong Kar Wai mode".
In the current domestic drama market, in fact, a lot of good youth and love dramas have emerged, but everyone may have been "numb" to these themes, after all, it is easy to produce aesthetic fatigue after watching too much.
The "Flowers" presents to the audience a drama with a full sense of age, and its story is set in the "Shanghai Tang" of the last century, and you can re-feel the prosperity and characteristics of old Shanghai through this drama.
And such a drama full of a sense of age, of course, is indispensable to the blessing of Wong Kar-wai, who not only served as the director, but also personally handled the creation of the script, which can be said to have poured a lot of effort and sweat.
I believe everyone should be very familiar with Wong Kar-wai's shooting techniques, and his lens language and narrative style can often bring the audience an intriguing viewing experience.
Similarly, this drama is also full of Wong Kar-wai's "imprint", whether it is scheduling composition or editing techniques, you can clearly feel his style characteristics, which also makes the whole play visually highly ornamental.
2. The peak script of "Flowers", with a strong cast.
In addition to the blessing of Wong Kar-wai, in fact, "Flowers" has many attractive highlights, such as the polishing of the script is very solid, and it can be said that it is a very "meaty" play.
The relationship between the characters presented in the whole drama is intricate, and the business war elements and emotional entanglements behind it can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the audience can get good thinking and reflection in the process of watching.
Of course, a good drama is inseparable from a strong cast, and in "Flowers", we can see the joining of Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan and other actors, and every role is "held" by the "powerful faction".
In particular, the role of "Bao" played by Hu Ge perfectly interprets a character image full of sunshine and positive energy, so that the long-coveted "big back" has been perfectly "reproduced" again.
In the play, Ma Yili, who has a "deep sadomasochistic relationship" with Hu Ge, also uses her strength to interpret a smart and clever "Shanghai strong woman" who dares to love and hate, showing the characteristics of yellow skin throughout the whole process vividly.
Coupled with the addition of Tang Yan, she showed a "tactful and melodious" Shanghai accent in the play, and there were some "sweet sadomasochism" between other actors, which brought a lot of surprises to the audience.
3. The viewing experience is unique and fresh.
Compared with other popular dramas, the viewing experience presented to the audience by "Flowers" is indeed a little different, which can be said to have both a "sense of cinema" and a "sense of delicacy".
The filming technique of the whole drama is very unique, whether it is the degree of restoration of the costume or the emotional expression of the characters, it can give the audience the illusion of "traveling through time and space", as if they are immersed in the various customs of old Shanghai.
At the same time, every detail in the play is handled very well, and the embellishment of background music creates a unique and fresh atmosphere for the audience, as if they are enjoying it in a unique "art exhibition".
Of course, the audience is also "in love" for such a play, and in the process of advancing the plot, various "easter eggs" and "stalks" have also become hot topics, allowing the audience to enjoy it while also making "brain-opening" conjectures and interpretations.
Epilogue:
Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of "Flowers" and can also feel the unique charm exuded by this play.
It can be said that the quality advantages of "Flowers" have made breakthroughs in terms of script, actors' performances, and visual presentation, bringing the audience a very good viewing experience.
And such an excellent drama is believed to be able to obtain a very good reputation and evaluation in the market, and it can also become a "flower" in the hearts of the audience, exuding lasting charm.
