"Flowers" finally scored on Douban, scoring 8.1 points at the beginning, not only good camera movement, but also full of emotional lines.
In the latest plot, Lu Meilin's slap on Po's face fanned a new climax.
A birthday banquet developed into a "martial fight" because of Lu Meilin's worship of high and low, and the violation of yang and yin. Seeing that her husband was injured, she had to call the police and send Lao Fan to the police station. Ah Bao, who rushed to help Miss Wang relieve the siege, expressed his willingness to be beaten for Miss Wang in order to calm Lu Meilin's anger.
The slap was swung out, the sound was crisp, and there was silence for an instant, and Miss Wang, who had recovered from the shock, was furious and out of control.
And this scene also made many netizens sigh: What is this not love?
The drama version of "Flowers" is different from the original novel in that it has a strong "urban martial arts style".
A Bao played by Hu Ge is very much like a handsome chivalrous warrior in the rivers and lakes, with gorgeous clothes and love in his heart, every time he appears on the Yellow River Road, he will become a scenery that attracts attention. And the emotional line between him and Miss Wang, Lingzi and Li Li, as well as his first love Xuezhi, is by no means inferior to the business war in the play.
Who does Bao love, different CP parties have their own expectations.
Miss Wang, who met Ah Bao when she was in the dark, although she was straightforward and enthusiastic, pure and innocent, she was by no means a little white flower who could not withstand the wind and rain, but a kind of loneliness that became stronger and stronger. Even the heart for Ah Bao is frank and unconcealed.
It's just that for Bao, Miss Wang is more like a "sister-type" partner.
He will protect her, he will do things when others speak lightly to her, he will spoil her, he will indulge her petty temper and willfulness, and he will be moved by her action of driving to save her.
But these feelings have nothing to do with love.
Similarly, Reiko is similar to Po.
At the beginning, because of Miss Wang's negligence, Bao had to go to Japan to deal with the embroidery machine. When he had no money in his pocket, couldn't speak Japanese, and was blindfolded, he happened to meet Reiko.
Reiko not only helped Po meet the person she wanted to meet, but also lent him her "luck".
After successfully solving the problem and returning to China, Po opened the night Tokyo of Reiko's dream on Jinxian Road.
A plane ticket and a business card made Reiko's already stirred heart sink deeply, and she became the proprietress waiting for Bao's prodigal son to turn back on the road to Jinxian. She is not without expectations, but she clearly knows that Ah Bao's heart is not here with her.
It wasn't until after the earring incident that Reiko finally decided to give up that unwillingness and say goodbye to the time she had been waiting for in the past.
And Po has made concessions and tolerates to Reiko in money again and again, except for his trust in her, it is difficult to say that there is no apology - he can appear when she needs it, but he can't give reciprocal feelings.
Here in Bao, the only ones related to love are probably Xuezhi and Li Li.
With Xuezhi, it is the heartbeat of youth.
Whether it is the eyes that meet through the crowd on the No. 13 bus, or the whispers when "touching the fish", or the look at each other when surrounded by the dense water vapor, it is all the emotion that is just right in the atmosphere.
But Xuezhi's heart is even farther away.
For Po, she may have guilt, but this guilt can't match the pride in her heart after all. Even if Ah Bao becomes Mr. Bao, she is still the goldfish that swims away.
"Running out, can't go back" is not only Xuezhi herself, but also her past with Bao.
Compared with Xuezhi, on the contrary, Po can't let go of the old feelings.
In his room at the Peace Hotel, there are goldfish he raises, when he is with Reiko, he will "think about goldfish" on the roof, and when they meet again at the Peninsula Hotel, Xuezhi asks him if there is anyone around him, and he says that he is still single.
However, how much of this can't be let go of is the love for Xuezhi, and how much is the unwillingness to be "left behind", is another matter.
Li Li, who broke into Shanghai alone and drove the hotel into Huanghe Road and successfully gained a firm foothold, is too in line with the setting of "childhood sweethearts are not as good as falling from the sky". A mysterious and glamorous woman like her, with unknowable dangers, is full of seduction.
What's more, there are also master duels and sympathy bonuses.
Although Ah Bao and Li Li have not fallen in love with each other in the plot that has been updated so far, whether it is according to the original setting or the way the two people get along in the drama version of "Xin Zhilei's Life Shot", their relationship is destined to go.
But, what about the end?
In the original work of "Flowers", Lingzi and Po get along for a short time, but they are still alone after all; Miss Wang goes in and out of the "siege", and is also involved in Xiaomao's family history, and finally continues her life in the longing for the child in her womb.
As for Li Li, although she has the heaviest weight in Ah Bao's heart, because she can't get out of the shadow of the past, she chooses to shave her ordination with pain, and becomes a "bird that spreads her gray wings and slowly floats into the distance" in Ah Bao's eyes.
So in the hands of Wong Kar-wai, who "hit it off at first sight" of the original work, what fate will they have?
Miss Wang's ending was faintly revealed by Zheng Kai's sentence "Wang Jiawei", but the direction of Lingzi and Li Li's lives is still unknown, but I believe that Wong Kar-wai will not disappoint the audience.
