After 6 years of preparation and 3 years of shooting, Wong Kar-wai's debut TV series "Flowers" is about to end on Tencent Video tonight (CCTV will broadcast the finale tomorrow), and since yesterday, the relevant topics of this drama have frequently appeared on the hot search, and the popularity value of Tencent Station is more than 31000, becoming the first hit drama at the beginning of the year.
With the breaking of "Flowers", the Yellow River Road in the main scene has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Shanghai at the beginning of the year.
In the play, Hu Ge wears the same suit, his favorite fried beef river, Jiang Yilei's chicken feet (papi sauce) are always gnawing, and the same Shanghai Peace Hotel suite set by his grandfather are all out of the circle.
After the broadcast of "Flowers", the Peace Hotel immediately changed the original "No. 72 British Suite" to "British Flowers Suite", and the price of one night started at 16,888 yuan. In addition, they also took advantage of the situation to launch a customized meal for two co-branded by "Flowers", including dishes such as dry fried beef river and pork rib rice cakes that often appear in the play, priced at 1460 yuan, and a 16.6% service charge is also charged.
When it was launched at the end of last year, I felt that Wong Kar-wai had hypocritically filmed "Flowers" as a foreign wine advertisement, but he chased after it and almost missed a work of art, not only the costumes, makeup, and props were exquisite, but also the photography, composition, camera movement, lighting was beautiful, and even the advertising placement was textbook-level.
Even Hong Kong director Wang Jing couldn't help but post a blog saying that he was envious, not only was the drama filmed wonderful, but the actors were also more brilliant than the other, "'Uncle' You Benchang, (acting) is really amazing." The realism of the quarrel in Tokyo at night restores the speed of speech that the neighbors heard when they were children, and the intertwined but clear words are the same as the quarrels of Shanghainese! Ma Yili (acting) is as light as she lifts weights and is more than enough to swim; Miss Wang (acting) has greatly improved; I heard that Xin Zhilei hired an international walking master to teach her to walk, and the number of angles to turn back must be limited, so she has today's Li Li. Hu Ge reminds me of Chow Yun-fat in his heyday, ruffian chic, full of style, affectionate and righteous, true to his word, really good-looking. ”
I have to say that Wong Kar-wai really has a hand in selecting actors and guiding actors. Xin Zhilei recalled in an interview that she still remembers that on the first day of filming, she and Hu Ge walked all night on the Yellow River Road, and the two of them didn't know why they were going, nor did they know where they were going, "This scene only used a little bit later, but that process is very important, and the director wants to see the feeling of the two people walking together"......
Hu Ge has become the ambitious "Bao Zong", Xin Zhilei has become the "Li Li" who amazes everyone, Ma Yili has become the greedy and shrewd "Lingzi", and Tang Yan has become the "Hongkou Xiaowang" who dares to love and hate......
Not only that, the supporting characters in the play are impressive. You Benchang completely performed the majesty of his uncle as a superior, Dong Yong performed the shrewdness and tactfulness of a small boss in Zhejiang, Dai Jun played a smooth Shanghai soft rice man, and even Fan Zhiyi, who played football, played the hot-tempered old Fan into three points. Even the waiter on the Yellow River Road and the elevator grandfather in the Peace Hotel are all one person with one story.
Although Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" and the original novel "Flowers" have almost no similarities except for the story of personal names, Wong Kar-wai has really carved out an era by creating little characters around Mr. Bao. Wong Kar-wai has created a bustling scene of Shanghai with a unique "tone" in his own way.
However, probably only Wong Kar-wai has the strength to select actors one by one, spend three years shooting, restore the Yellow River Road 1:1, and grind out what he wants little by little. You must know that this drama has been killed four times just because it is finished! Xin Zhilei once said in an interview that no one believed that she was going to finish it later, "I always feel that I have to shoot for a lifetime."
"Flowers" is coming to an end, which actor are you most reluctant to bear, and which actor's performance is your favorite? Welcome to #文艺show# to post and talk to you.
