In the sparkling screen, a TV series "Flowers" depicting the elegance of Shanghai in the old days quietly captured the hearts of the audience. The play not only reproduces the streets and alleys and customs of old Shanghai in the world through exquisite filming techniques, but also delicately portrays the emotional entanglements and twists and turns of fate of the characters of that era, which has become the focus of heated discussions among many drama fans.
Miss Wang was originally a amorous Shanghai socialite, with a gorgeous life and a beautiful social circle that matched her identity, her emotional line with Mr. Bao in the play is full of dramatic tension, and the delicate emotional entanglement between her and Li Li and Lingzi is the highlight of the audience. However, this character is not all about the glamorous side.
Tang Yan's portrayal of Miss Wang's identity change is both real and touching. She is no longer the elegant and dignified socialite dressed in gorgeous clothes, but needs to wear uniform work clothes and worn sleeves on her hands, playing an ordinary woman in a labor situation. This shift is particularly shocking, as the audience not only witnesses the subversion of a role, but also feels the great influence of the social environment on the fate of individuals at that time.
From the once meticulous design of every strand of hair, to the casual strands of hair tied back at will, only the first few strands of broken hair are left, outlining the light and shadow of the past. The audience can clearly feel Miss Wang's transformation from the inside out, and experience the harshness of her environment and the difficulty of life. Despite the ups and downs of her life, Ms. Wang has not lost her tenacity and resilience.
In "Flowers", Miss Wang's image becomes closer to the real life of low-level women, showing her love for life and her brave struggle against the challenges of fate. With her superb acting skills, Tang Yan perfectly interprets the image of a woman who can still live a strong life after the halo fades. Her performance not only exceeded the audience's expectations, but also made people moved.
Through Tang Yan's in-depth grasp and delicate interpretation of Miss Wang's role, she not only successfully created an impressive character, but also allowed the audience to see the spiritual outlook of an ordinary woman who strives for self-improvement in the face of adversity. The story of Blossoms ultimately proves that life is full of uncertainties and challenges, but it is these experiences that shape a more resilient self.
However, a recent TV series has allowed the audience to see a new Tang Yan, who puts herself in the daily life of ordinary people, integrates with the character, and shows a different self from the past. Tang Yan's image in the play faded from the aura of a star and became down-to-earth. She didn't have the treatment of picking up and sending the bus, and every day after work, she walked to the crowd of people crowding the bus like ordinary people.
This image of hers makes people forget her identity as a star, and see more of the daily life of an ordinary worker. The scenes in the TV series, although far from the gorgeous and complicated, give the characters in the play a strong human touch and life atmosphere.
There is also a scene in the play that impresses the audience, when Mr. Wei generously invites the workers to eat a certain brand of fast food, everyone's excitement is indescribable. For the workers, these seemingly ordinary foods are actually luxuries, and they work weekdays, but they are not willing to spend for themselves, this scene vividly shows the living conditions of ordinary people in society at that time.
For example, in "All Wishes Come True", the character played by Mao Xiaotong, although he has a limited monthly income and has to subsidize his family, lives in a priceless courtyard house, and his living environment is enviable. The gap between this setting and real life is huge, and people can't help but be ironic, and "being poor like this" is also a luxury fantasy. Tang Yan's transformation in the play is a stark response to this phenomenon.
In this colorful entertainment world, Tang Yan uses her interpretation to tell us that whether on the screen or in real life, everyone has their own story. She proves with her actions that only by being close to the truth can she touch people's hearts and give her works a deeper meaning. We look forward to more such works, so that film and television can not only be a utopia of escapism, but also a mirror that reflects life and inspires thinking.
Just like the two recent hit dramas "Good Things Come in Pairs" and "Fearless", the character backgrounds and plot settings have become the focus of heated discussions. Taking Zhang Jiani's second female Jiang Xi in "Good Things Come in Pairs" as an example, her background is set as a young woman from a small county town, who has just entered the social work, but has rented a comfortable apartment with a balcony in the bustling Shanghai, with a monthly rent of up to 4,500 yuan.
This kind of life does not seem to conform to the conventional life trajectory of young women from a small county, and it seems to be more like a rich daughter with a deep family background experiencing a different life. Luo Yingzi, the heroine of another drama "Fearless", originally had a wealthy family, but she fell into trouble due to her husband's infidelity and huge debts. Her family property was forced to be mortgaged, and it stands to reason that Luo Yingzi should face financial embarrassment.
It is the unrealistic settings in these episodes that have caused controversy among many viewers. Some viewers believe that the lives of the characters in the play are too idealistic and far from the real lives of ordinary people, and film and television works should be closer to reality and convey more real and credible information when creating characters. And some viewers believe that film and television dramas are fictional art after all, and appropriate exaggeration and detachment from reality are also to enhance the attractiveness and entertainment of the plot.
Just like Wong Kar-wai's previous work "Flowers", its success is not without a trace, but with its true portrayal of the characters' emotions and life details, it has won the recognition and love of the audience. As the plots of these hit episodes continue to be updated, the enthusiasm and discussion among the audience continues to heat up. Everyone is looking for those real pictures and emotional resonance in the plot, looking forward to more surprises and deep thinking that the series can bring.
Although these episodes are sometimes criticized for the unrealistic nature of the plot, they also reflect the human desire and pursuit of an ideal life in a unique way. As viewers, we should enjoy these episodes while also being inspired to think about how to create our own colors and values in real life.
