Finally, it's time to wait for the finale of "Flowers"!
The ratings sat firmly on the champion throne throughout the whole process, unbeatable, and word of mouth soared, with a score of 8.1 on Douban, and then directly rose to 8.2, Wong Kar-wai really set off a wave of drama chasing craze.
It stands to reason that the webcast platform ushered in the final battle, and word of mouth is likely to rise to a new height.
However, when the last two episodes were released, many viewers in the comment area began to complain-
"Unsatisfactory", "Too stretched", "The male main line is not written well at all", "The last third doesn't know what to talk about" and so on.
In fact, in terms of the level of the lineup of "Flowers", as well as the plot foreshadowed earlier, everyone is looking forward to an annoying or more gorgeous ending to draw an end to this period of chasing dramas.
But I have to say that the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and the finale of this drama is simply the most speechless I have seen in the past two years.
Business wars are too child's play
In my opinion, as a legendary drama with a big male lead, what can really highlight the high rank of the male protagonist is not the pursuit of others at the shallow level, but the depiction of Mr. Bao's high IQ and various means.
But the handling of the business war in "Flowers" is so childish that I feel that I am always breathless.
Take the final showdown between Mr. Qiang and Mr. Bao in the end, there are many foreshadowings in front of the end, and everyone knows that this is a big move.
There were a lot of bells and whistles in the middle, and in the end, Mr. Bao solved it in a few phone calls, and the real tension was not the real fight between the two people, but more about the atmosphere set off by the camera and background music.
It was a high note, and the result ended merediocrely.
I've been talking about how powerful it is, but this time I see that there is nothing, and I always become stupid in comparison.
Including other business wars in the play, they are also very sloppy.
For example, at the beginning, Zhizhenyuan wanted to pry into Mr. Bao's list, and Mr. Wei and Mr. Fan chatted very well, but they were obviously here to talk about business, and no one really talked about business content.
Mr. Wei, who came up and said, "I want everything that Mr. Bao wants", can only get 40,000 pieces, and people can always get 800,000 pieces, isn't this just a joke, there is such a business talk?
Including the first list of jeans for the company founded by Miss Wang, in this paragraph, she refused Mr. Bao's help, in fact, there is also an idealized treatment of "idol drama style" in the plot.
But this bridge is very full in the shaping of the characters, and Tang Yan also acted very well, which can be regarded as making up for the lack of plot logic.
Li Li's character is divided before and after
In the original work, Li Li finally got rid of it, but Hongchen chose to become a monk.
However, in the TV series, there are too many positive depictions of Li Li, which makes Li Li's approach at the end very separate from the front.
In the last four episodes, Li Li seems to have deliberately fallen in love quickly for the sake of love brain.
Even if she has known each other for a long time, when the storm is coming, her conversation with Mr. Bao is very sober and rational, and there is no transgressive emotion from her behavior.
It should be that most of the audience acquiesces that the relationship between Li Li and Mr. Bao is at most only on physical desires, and there is no emotional bondage.
And the reason why Mr. Bao was able to sink for him was also because Li Li had a strong core and a sober cognition.
Judging from the state of Li Li coming to Huanghe Road at the beginning, she actually wanted to launder the money left by Mr. A, and it was expected to take two years, and then go away.
In the middle, Li Li also did this, everything only looked at interests, and even when it was time to get rid of Zhenyuan, he didn't say a word in the phone call to Mr. Bao.
is such a person, can Mr. Bao fantasize about Mr. A, finally get the money in hand, go to pay back the money and turn himself in, and then become a monk?
The finale Hu Ge is only 5 minutes, Tang Yan exploded to change the heroine?
Seriously, in the process of chasing dramas in the second half, I felt more than once that Miss Wang was more like the heroine, and she was the heroine in idol dramas.
She must have a good family background, not only did she do well on the 27th, but also had Mr. Bao as a big backer.
After being falsely accused, he was still optimistic and thrived in adversity, and then washed away his grievances and partnered with the suitor to start a company, refusing Mr. Bao's help, and a few words moved the factory director.
Although she does have the courage to risk her life, who does not have this sense of hard work in business? Opportunities are not something that can be exchanged for life.
In the end, he was directly promoted to "Mr. Wang", so that the male protagonist said goodbye to the teacher over the years, and returned to the 27th.
In the end, the male protagonist also went to a five-year appointment for her, who would dare to believe that this is the second female lead?
Even episode 30 is completely from Miss Wang's point of view.
The male protagonist's scenes add up to about five minutes, and after Miss Wang's story is complete, the male protagonist flashes a few words to the end of the final chapter.
Is this the so-called big male protagonist?
Uncle doesn't even deserve the ending?
What I regret the most is that Uncle and Bao did not have a happy ending.
This happy ending doesn't have to be a reunion, at least formally.
It starts with the two acquaintances, and ends with the two going to their respective lives, parting ways and blessing each other, or never seeing each other, and the ending echoes the breath that I think the audience is holding in their hearts before they can be exhaled.
The director portrayed Mr. Bao as a loving and righteous person, he is grateful to Reiko for starting from scratch with him, knowing each other, being kind and innocent Miss Wang, and willing to give up a big list to satisfy her career.
can also be honest with Li Li at the end.
Only let down the uncle who single-handedly put himself in his current status, and his heart was cold.
To deal with Miss Wang, Uncle Bao didn't ask Mr. Bao.
When he makes any decision, he will respect Bao's ideas, and even asked Mr. Bao twice if he really wanted to stick to it when he competed with Miss Wang.
If you can meet such a noble person in your life, how should Mr. Bao be grateful and how to repay?
He didn't even send his uncle to the door, to the elevator, and smiled and the two never saw each other again.
Since love is important, why is he so rash with his uncle?
In my opinion, this drama is more like a group portrait of women, Mr. Bao, who should have been the big male protagonist, but instead lived a sloppy life in his own story line.
epilogue
Of course, it's not that "Flowers" is bad, and it's not that it's not a criticism of actors.
It's just that the front start is too high, and the audience must have relatively high expectations for the ending, but the more this story develops, the more it deviates. Chasing dramas always feels like a breath away, even if I don't bring up this breath in the end.
This drama gives everyone an open-ended ending, some people think that Mr. A may be Mr. Bao, and some people think that Mr. Bao is still with Miss Wang in the end.
And the film version of "Flowers" joined by the original team is still in creation, maybe the movie will give the audience a satisfactory answer.
I don't know if the finale of this drama satisfies you? #实话实说#
