Flipping through the novel "Flowers", I often read the word "silent".
The word "no sound" is better than sound.
The surface is silent and quiet, and the heart is deafening.
or silent, or angry, or bitter, or shrewd, or numb, or deliberately not spoken, or inconvenient to say, or have nothing to say, or helpless......
"God is silent, as all things are determined by me......"
Po didn't make a sound, and tears fell in his heart. ”
"Husheng does not ring", "Miss Wang does not ring", "Betty does not ring", "Li Li does not ring", "Xiaomao does not ring", ......
Everyone will not ring, and nothing can be silent.
The drama version of "Flowers" is like Wong Kar-wai filling in the blanks for the novel.
He personalizes the beauty of "not making a sound" blank space, and gives the interpretation he wants to talk about and what he wants to say.
For example, the word "no sound" appears for the first time in the play, from a line:
"To do business, you must learn two words first, don't make a sound. ”
This is not loud, which just explains the difference between the drama version and the original work.
One is a business war drama chasing fame and fortune, and the other is the worldly love between men and women.
Therefore, someone commented: "After watching the first three episodes, Jin Yucheng is silent." ”
In fact, the moment Jin Yucheng sold "Flowers" to Wong Kar-wai, he understood that the drama version had nothing to do with the novel.
As for whether Wong Kar-wai shot loudly or not.
In the midst of controversy, scolding, and boycott, everyone has an answer that belongs to them in their hearts.
Li Li in the novel
The novel "Flowers" writes all the group portraits of secular men and women.
Li Li is one of them.
In the introduction of the characters in the novel, a few simple strokes outline:
"Li Li - the owner of the Zhizhenyuan Hotel on Huanghe Road, Miss Wang's friend, a northerner, a Taurus. ”
The fewer words, the more strange things are.
Don't you know that her life experience is bizarre and quite tragic.
Li Li's first appearance was when he was introduced by Miss Wang and met with Husheng, Bao and others.
"Miss Wang said, Mr. Hu has been looking up for a long time, I will introduce, this is my friend Li Li, recently opened a restaurant, the old and the new, want to keep the business, seamless handover, please Mr. Hu straighten out the relationship.
Husheng took out his business card and said, try to help.
Li Li said that Mr. Hu took care of him.
Husheng said, listening to the accent, Miss Li is from the north.
Li Li said, yes, I used to work in Shenzhen, and I have only been in Shanghai for a few years.
Miss Wang said that Li Li walked the catwalk and ran to the dock, and saw a lot of them in the market.
Li Li smiled and looked over with his eyes.
Ah Bao felt that Li Li Qixiu was in his bones, and he had a heart to silence his beauty.
Li Li said that he was happier to know the two eldest brothers, and in the future, this store will be everyone's canteen, and he hopes that his brother and sister, sister-in-law and sister-in-law will come. ”
This dialogue shows Li Li's demeanor to the fullest.
She is beautiful and moving, which makes Po moved.
She is socially friendly, has a high vision, and has a fine threshold.
With the "violation" identity of the intruder, Li Li single-handedly broke into the beach, which is bound to attract discussions about right and wrong.
Miss Wu hinted to Po: "Li Li's story, you know...... I don't want to talk about it, anyway, it's hard to say. ”
Miss Wang turned Li Li's old bottom: "Li Li is weird, the most scheming, and likes to seduce successful men." She has psychological problems, she never takes off when she goes to the bathhouse, she must have opened the seal, she is afraid of being exposed, so she is afraid of getting married. ”
Hongqing chewed the root of his tongue: "What kind of character is Li Li, Miss Wang has already said that she used to be a chicken, and she was full of flowers." ”
A woman, the more smiling and joyful, the more bitter she is when she turns over her hole cards, and the more bitter she is.
Regarding his mysterious past, Li Li only confided in Po.
Her parents and younger brother are Buddhists.
When he was 17 years old, his younger brother wanted to become a monk and was scolded and whipped by his father.
The next day, the younger brother committed suicide.
Afterwards, seeing his parents crying and burning incense and kowtowing, Li Li hated in his heart and ran to Guangdong alone.
To make a living, Lee Lee does high-end fashion shows in a senior modeling class.
From time to time, I also go to major nightclubs, walk the small catwalk, and be rubbed with oil by customers on the bar.
During this time, she was tricked by her sister Little Fleur to a Macau nightclub and danced a striptease at three o'clock.
At the beginning, because of her resolute disobedience, she was caught by two old mothers and given a shot.
When I woke up, I felt a tingling pain in my lower abdomen.
低头 看,发脐 下 The House of the Dead: "F*K Me"
There is also a blood-red rose, two leaves, and a butterfly.
This tattoo has become a pain in Li Li's life and a lifelong shame.
Later, Li Li was rescued by the wealthy Mr. Zhou.
Only in front of him did she dare to turn on the lights and expose her tattoos.
After that, in order to take revenge, she found someone to make the little hibiscus, turned it into concrete, poured it into the ground, and never turned over.
The sad face is full of red clothes and dust, and the door of ten thousand homes is not tolerated.
Before Mr. Zhou and his family moved to Canada, Li Li accepted the other party's arrangement.
Take a good living allowance and return to the mainland to find a good man to marry.
Get rid of the tattoos on your body, forget about the shame, and start over.
Although the tattoo is gone, Li Li's heart still can't be cleaned.
This is also one of the reasons why she has no fate with Po.
When Ah Bao saw Li Li for the first time, he felt that the other party was silent.
After getting acquainted, the two are like old friends who have known each other for many years, and they can talk freely about daily trivialities and business entanglements.
At the same time, Li Li has always been interested in Po.
Li Li sighed and said, the man I am happy with is close in front of me and far away in the sky. Po doesn't make a sound. Li Li said that he is still pretending to be confused, and he really hates it. Po doesn't make a sound. ”
It's a pity.
Li Li is afraid of getting married, but he still has that rose in his heart that can't be washed.
Po doesn't want to get married, supposedly for the sake of a little girl, Betty.
Flowers fall and bloom, regardless of the flow of the year.
Li Li and Ah Bao don't force it, even if they are married for one night, they are satisfied.
Until the end, she broke through the love barrier and became a nun.
On the occasion of parting, she folded her hands and left a word for Bao:
"Women feel that spring is old, but men say that spring is still early. ”
Immediately, she turned away and disappeared into the dimly lit hallway......
Wong Kar-wai's Lee Lee
Compared with the novel, the character of Li Li in the drama version of "Flowers" has changed greatly.
She was burdened with a "love debt" and came specifically for Po.
She is no longer burdened with the stripper of the shameful past, but a businessman with great courage.
It can be seen that the character has less tragedy and sadness, and more of the cool drama style of the big heroine.
Until it was launched, Xin Zhilei didn't know if her role had been deleted
According to Wong Kar-wai's understanding, Li Li is a mysterious chivalrous man on the rivers and lakes, full of chivalry and hatred.
She has a beautiful appearance and a variety of charms.
Wearing generations of high-end luxury clothes, 360 degrees exude pride and extravagance without dead ends.
She writes ambition and danger on her face, and throws golden sentences from time to time.
Coupled with a leopard print tiger stripe, she is simply the "leopard lady" of the Yellow River Road.
She did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to occupy a place on the Yellow River Road.
But, if you want to play, you have to play big.
Her ambition is not on the Yellow River Road, but in the ever-changing financial markets.
Insert one.
Li Li is also involved in art collection.
Relying only on Chen Yifei's two oil paintings "Focus" (estimated at more than 10 million yuan in 2007) and "Caged Woman 5", he can have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
In the face of the deceitful business war, Li Li is full of ruthlessness and is not swayed by emotions.
During filming, Wong Kar-wai asked Xin Zhilei to bury her feelings in the bottom of her heart when dealing with the rivalry with Hu Ge.
Even if it is an affectionate look, it can't be too leaky.
There is only one type of look, namely:
A top predator who always aims at its prey.
As for the relationship between Li Li and Po, he was lost.
It is both affectionate and emotional.
There is a line in the play, which is particularly loud:
"The relationship between Li Li and Mr. Bao is known only by God and the Yellow River. But the Yellow River Road is silent. ”
Li Li and Ah Bao are like two magnets, repelling and attracting.
The two not only take advantage of the relationship between being used and being used, but also appreciate each other, and point to the end.
Who is the catfish, who is the salmon, who is the ultimate king in the chain, and who is the stepping stone.
The two of them have made moves, you come and go, and the tacit understanding is full.
This flower is a bit of a flower
The adaptation of Li Li in the drama version of "Flowers" made me fall into a deep contradiction.
Between the cool and A-big heroine setting and Wong Kar-wai's aesthetic style, I had a dislocation and entanglement.
To be more precise:
This cool drama style is paired with a high-end aesthetic, just like coffee with garlic.
It's really a special taste in my heart.
We can draw a conclusion.
Wong Kar-wai filmed "Flowers", but he just borrowed the name of "Flowers" and started anew.
Whether it is the characters or the background of the story, it cannot be said to be the slightest resemblance to the novel, it can be said to have nothing to do with it.
Li Li has changed, Miss Wang has changed, Lingzi has changed, Betty has changed, Mr. Bao has changed, Xiaomao is gone, and Husheng is gone.
Times have changed, themes have changed, temperaments have changed, flavors have changed......
Of course, people indicate it in the end credits.
"Part of the content of this play is from "Shanghai Fu", "Savage Growth", "Red Men and Green Women in the Stock Market" and "Joys and Sorrows in the Stock Market", all of which have been approved by the author or the publishing house. ”
This kind of annotation may make the original originalist powerless to pound the ground.
I have to say, this is also a smart move.
After all, the novel "Flowers" has many characters, a complicated and complicated story, and it is difficult to completely copy and remake it.
What's more, respecting the original is not so important.
Even Jin Yucheng also said: "A good director, it is impossible to make novels as they are." ”
Look, we don't even care about the original owner, what do we care about.
The most important thing is that Wong Kar-wai's filming is a rare thing in the Chinese film and television industry.
When he filmed "Flowers", he must have the flavor of Wong Kar-wai.
Frame extraction, interaction in small enclosed spaces, quotation of literary imagery, use of push-pull and panning shots, colorful ......
These aesthetic styles can hit the G-spot of Chinese art youth as usual.
No matter how fancy and old-fashioned the appearance is, everyone still supports it.
Who called the director of this drama Wong Kar-wai?
Who cares if he rings or not??
And so.
Thanks to Wong Kar-wai's blessing, between the entanglement and the top, I resolutely chose to be fine.
After chasing the finale of "Flowers", are you in a good state of mind?
Here, I sincerely invite all of you to divide together......
