Preface
#q1# Wong Kar-wai's new drama "Flowers" has considerable ratings but the word-of-mouth has suffered a waterloo and has been criticized by the audience as unsatisfactory. Wong Kar-wai seems to have overturned this time?
The plot adaptation has caused controversy, it is difficult to tell a good story seriously on the theme of business wars, and the audience also feels aesthetic fatigue with large empty mirrors, large close-ups, large swingarms, and large aerial photography. In the play, the appearance of Hu Ge's wife Huang Xining has become the focus of attention.
However, her performance was not recognized by the audience, and her acting skills and appearance were questioned. The lines and acting skills of actors such as Tang Yan and Ma Yili were also unsatisfactory. Has Wong Kar-wai lost his all-time glory in the film industry now?

The recently aired "Flowers" was expected to become Wong Kar-wai's pinnacle work, however, after ten years of polishing and three years of filming, the show failed to win the hearts of the audience.
The key point of the plot is the business war, but it doesn't seem to have mastered how to tell a gripping story. Judging from the audience's evaluation, this drama seems to be more suitable for making a movie than a TV series.
Not only that, but the adaptation of "Flowers" has also attracted a lot of controversy. The character lines in the original novel have been greatly changed, which makes the audience feel a little disappointed.
Wong Kar-wai's elegant and ethereal picture style is remarkable in movies, but in TV dramas, too many large aerial shots, large close-ups, large swing arms and large aerial photography have exhausted the audience's aesthetics to the extreme.
However, the most eye-catching focus is Hu Ge's wife Huang Xining. Her brief appearance in the play is a little familiar, and many viewers find that she is not inferior to ordinary people in terms of appearance, but compared with female stars, she seems a little powerless. The audience has always been disgusted with the so-called "related households", and Huang Xining's performance seems to have also caused their dissatisfaction to erupt.
In addition to Huang Xining, the performances of actors such as Tang Yan and Ma Yili have also been questioned. The audience felt that their lines and acting skills were not up to the ideal state, which greatly reduced the overall effect of the plot.
Although the ratings of "Flowers" are quite impressive, the poor word-of-mouth has put Wong Kar-wai in an embarrassing situation. He may have a talent for filmmaking, but he still needs to explore more possibilities in the production of TV series.
In any case, the audience's expectations for Wong Kar-wai are huge. His next work, whether it is a film or a TV series, will receive a lot of attention. Maybe this defeat will make him work harder and bring better works to the audience.
