- Someone wants to make a drama, can you wait ten years to watch it?
——Na Misconduct.
- What if that person is Wong Kar-wai?
- Ten years is nothing!
The battle of domestic dramas has finally reached its peak, and whoever gets top.1 at this time will definitely gain fame and fortune.
If you want to say that the most popular drama in recent times, it must be Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers".
The movie has been sharpened for ten years "Fengshen Trilogy", whether it is in plot design, actor selection, or special effects production, Wu Ershan has brought a new visual feast to the audience.
Immediately afterwards, Wong Kar-wai, known as the "King of Movies", also "went down" to shoot TV series, and also brought many actors and celebrities with a ten-year gift.
There are not only actors like Hu Ge, Ma Yili, and Xin Zhilei who are both online in terms of acting skills and appearance, but also Hua Dan Tang Yan joined.
If these are not enough, the director also invited powerful actors such as Huang Jue and Wu Yue, and even the "Jigong" You Benchang, who has not been out of the mountain for a long time, played an important role.
The director is powerful, the actors are famous, and "Flowers" has also become the most popular TV series on New Year's Eve, with ratings breaking 2 just after it was launched, ranking first on the TV drama list.
But after clicking on the comment area of the TV series, I found a strange phenomenon. has such a popular drama, but the word-of-mouth is seriously polarized, and many viewers give one-star reviews.
The popularity is high, and the evaluation is low. What went wrong with "Flowers"?
Perhaps after reading the following three points, you will know the answer to the question.
01, the lens is too "Wong Kar-wai"
From the perspective of movies, Wang Sunglasses must be successful, and it has its own style.
Edges, temptations, ambiguity, philosophy, multifacetedness, etc., there are so many things in his lens.
Because of this, he made classic movies such as "The True Story of A Fei", "In the Mood for Love" and "The Grandmaster".
However, when he incorporated these factors into the TV series, it didn't work.
The moment I opened "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai's aesthetic came to my face.
The brightly colored scenes, the light and dark of light and shadow, the degree to which each frame of screenshots can be used as wallpapers.
And what is unacceptable is that there are so many of these scenes, so many that they are a bit noisy, so that after watching an episode of a TV series, you don't know what story is being told.
From the perspective of the novel itself, it is the past and development of three young people with different identities, family backgrounds, and living environments living in Shanghai.
On the surface, it is about urban men and women, but in fact, it is about the changes of the times, political changes, etc., and it is a very novel and real theme to talk about the big era with small people.
In the TV series, Wong Kar-wai turned three young people into one, that is, Ah Bao played by Hu Ge.
When he first appeared, Po was still a young man living in an alley, relying on manual labor to support himself.
The alleys are full of people, shouting and selling, dusty, and full of life, which quickly allows the audience to integrate into the story.
But what is incomprehensible is that Wong Kar-wai's storytelling technique is too fast, and before the audience can see Ah Bao's struggle process clearly, Hu Ge has transformed into a "Bao Zong" who dominates the shopping mall.
After breaking away from the breath of life, there are more light and shadow scenes in the play, and the plot is gradually confused.
I don't know what to know about the long dialogue, and the blank space that comes suddenly, I can see that the audience is impetuous and long-winded, and behind everything they want, there is a fact that they haven't grasped anything.
On the surface, it is about the situation of the shopping mall, but in the end, it didn't even explain the business war, and it was filmed as a child's house.
To put it simply, the shopping mall has become a "face project", if you give me face, I will give you face, which makes people can't help but sigh: Can you stop pretending!
02, the acting skills are clear at a glance
In addition to the director's technique, the actors and acting skills are the key factors in the success of a play.
Especially in the first episode, it was the face of a whole big production, and an old face for a while, all of them were well-known characters in the acting school, which made people have the desire to chase down.
But even so, the clumsy acting skills of some actors still can't be hidden.
If you want to say that the most surprising actor is not the starring Hu Ge, but the veteran actor You Benchang.
Many years ago, You Benchang became famous overnight by playing "Jigong", and the expression of half of his face crying and half of his face smiling has been imitated and never surpassed.
In the TV series "Flowers", the old man You Benchang went into battle again and played the man behind Hu Ge.
Although he is already 90 years old, his acting skills are still shocking. The rivers and lakes in the eyes and the scheming in the expressions are all textbook level.
When You Benchang was playing the rival play, Hu Ge and the whole student faced the teacher's state, although he did not pull his hips, but he could only talk about catching the play.
And Hu Ge's performance in the play, the audience is most impressed by only one handsome.
The angular face, in Wong Kar-wai's interplay of light and shadow, even the scars at the corners of the eyes have become a lot more advanced.
The original Shanghainese lines, smooth acting skills, and Wong Kar-wai's lens language made the characters stand up.
The disadvantage is that there are too few things presented in it, and too many scenes are presented through Hu Ge's monologue, and the use of blank space in the movie to the TV series does not seem to be popular.
Ma Yili plays the female number one in the play, which is almost stress-free for her.
Whether it is her expression or lines, she can handle it, and she vividly interprets the character image of the Shanghai girl.
One of the puzzling things is Ma Yili's overly modern hairstyle. Whenever she walks in the light and shadow, it makes people feel like a key.
Tang Yan, who plays "Miss Wang" in the play, believes that many people think that she is the female number one.
The reason is very simple, her role is too much!
Trendy uniforms, wavy curly hair, flaming red lips, Tang Yan's outfit is full of age.
Especially since she is a native of Shanghai, acting in Shanghainese is really a hand-held for her.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Every time Tang Yan said her lines, she always felt that she was holding her breath, speaking with a sharp voice, and speaking super fast, as if she wanted to quickly finish her lines and take a breath.
Therefore, as long as Tang Yan appears, it gives people a noisy feeling, without the coquettishness of Shanghainese, only noise and eagerness.
However, over the years, her acting skills have been up and down, and the audience has long been Xi to it. In the publicity, she also admitted that there was a camera that took 86 times before passing.
With such a state of dedication, I hope she can quickly lay a solid foundation and transform from a silly white sweet to an acting school in time.
The most surprising among the actresses is the female No. 3 Xin Zhilei.
Her beauty is in a class of its own, one look and one movement is enough to perform a variety of styles.
Judging from the plot currently broadcast, Xin Zhilei is the actor who knows Wong Kar-wai's lens the most, if it is in a movie, her face is placed on the big screen, and she is definitely beautiful to a new height.
At this time, some viewers said frankly that "Flowers" may reproduce "Hurricane" and have a miracle again.
In "Hurricane", the female No. N "sister-in-law" stands out, and the female No. 3 Xin Zhilei in "Flowers" is also the most eye-catching.
In addition to the beauty in front of the camera, Xin Zhilei's acting skills are also very surprising.
Whether it is flying or domineering, whether it is-for-tat, the unremitting in the eyes, the rivers and lakes and presumptuous in the expression, are all vividly displayed.
This time, it's Xin Zhilei's turn to explode!
03, the plot is outrageous
Turning the three protagonists into one, the direction of the story is also seriously deviating from the original novel, and for the novel party, the TV series can be replaced with a new story.
But even if it is a new story, Wong Kar-wai did not tell it well this time.
In a two-hour film, you can tell a story with blank space and narration, and the film will become more three-dimensional.
But if this technique is still used in TV dramas, it is a little distorted.
The two-episode TV series, spending more than half of the time to show the audience the light and shadow and the big scenes, will seem long-winded, and it is meaningless for the plot to advance.
And these too many scene designs were complained about by the audience, and they ridiculed "this time Wang sunglasses are off".
Some people even call this drama "a high-profile version of the small era", I don't know what Guo Jingming thinks about it.
Secondly, the actor seems to be too stereotypical for the identity of Shanghainese.
Tang Yan puts speaking Shanghainese well in the first place, and often forgets the movements and eyes in the plot, which makes it difficult for people to integrate into the plot.
And after Ma Yili finished acting in "The Myth of Love", she turned petty bourgeoisie into a stereotyped behavior.
Even if you drink a cup of coffee, you have to bend your neck and twist your hips, and you almost write the words "I am elegant" on the door of your head.
Similarly, Hu Ge, as the male number one, inevitably has some "greasy" behaviors, drinking red wine, frowning, going down the stairs with a wine glass, and other "must-have" actions for the boss.
It can be said that if it weren't for Wong Kar-wai putting the main force on the big scene, Hu Ge would have fallen with a greasy name this time.
Epilogue:
The plot is long-winded and empty, the director is noisy, and the actors are decent, "Flowers" has a reputation of "high ratings and poor reputation" this time, which is by no means wronged by the audience.
As for what the next plot will be, I can only continue to pay attention, after all, from the perspective of the novel party, who knows what kind of story this will be changed into by the devil!
