The TV series version of "Flowers" has long ended on a high note, but the stage version is still ongoing.
On April 15, the second season of the Shanghainese version of "Flowers" was staged at the Shanghai Grand Theatre, with Chen Guoqing, Pan Hong, Shi An, Wang Wenna, Wang Jingping, Xu Lei and other actors appearing together.
On the same day, Chen Guoqing played Mr. Ge again, still the vivid, three-dimensional, vivid and lovely old man, with superb acting skills, and the audience applauded again and again, while Pan Hong played Mr. Li, a very important role in the original book.
Dressed in an off-white coat, with silver hair and old-fashioned glasses, she stood there pulling people into the 90s, a wonderful monologue, sad eyes...... Full of storytelling.
Compared with the TV series version of "Flowers", the stage version is more about the joys and sorrows of the little people, talking about the fireworks and people passing away suddenly, all sighing.
Teacher Li, a blind old man who lives alone, arrogance is the background color of the character, even if he is lonely and inconvenient, his aura is still strong, and it is a stroke of genius to let Pan Hong play.
Because she also has a rare "big tree" texture on her body, she stands and withstands the wind and frost, has a complex temperament that integrates perseverance and coldness, broken pathos, and has a high-intelligence face, but she always feels that there is a crazy factor suppressed under the skin.
When Pan Hong said the sentence "Bao will meet again", how many people in the audience cried.
Although she has acted in dramas only a handful of times, her strength should not be underestimated, just 20 minutes of inner drama, full of affection, stunning four, lines have nothing to say, in one go, very infectious.
The 69-year-old is in perfect condition, which is not false at all, and after removing the wig cover, she wears casual clothes and a baseball cap, and is full of energy, which really does not look like a rare person in recent times.
Netizens said: Pan Hong has always had the feeling of a university professor from young to old, and he is still in the field of literature.
In fact, as the queen of the three golden films, she became famous earlier than Gong Li, and she also opened up her international popularity earlier, and went to the Cannes red carpet together.
The appearance is beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, and tall figure, more like the girl who came out of Mrs. Yishu's book, and Yishu himself also praised it, "Chinese women are amazing, world level".
Indeed, it is also bookish, Yishu said that Xia Meng is like living in an ivory tower, You Min does not eat fireworks in the world, only Pan Hong seems to have really lived, a little lonely, a little arrogant.
In fact, the corners of her eyebrows, eyes and mouth are bitter, her eye sockets are deep, especially sensitive and fragile, and her irregular face contours are deep and cold.
I especially remember that she once filmed a "People to Middle Age", the film is very popular, and the plot setting in the film is not so serious criticism, not blindly hoarse, but forbearance and deepness, revealing strong sex and strong warmth in the coldness.
The heroine is ophthalmologist Lu Wenting, beautiful and temperamental, soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
At the same time, Pan Hong dressed up in ancient costumes again, her acting skills, manners, and lines were online in all aspects, Du Siniang sank into a hundred treasure chests angrily, crying blood every word, cold and fierce.
Later, in the nineties, her image in "Single Woman" was fashionable and foreign, with a beauty that transcended the era.
In "Stock Madness", he switches back and forth between small citizens and nouveau riche, with a simple dress in the front, a suit and sunglasses in the back, and a sense of déjà vu of a strong woman in the workplace.
Not to mention the styling in "Woman Taxi", short hair and black shawl, delicate and alienated, with the elegant inner show of intellectuals, suitable for movement and quiet, every smile and smile is a play.
Even after so many years, Pan Hong's clothes have not changed, and every time she appears, she dresses up exquisitely, hats, glasses or accessories...... It is standard, for example, this small suit with a grape pearl necklace, which is different and has its own style.
However, Hollywood female stars can still have a second spring in their careers at the age of 60, like Michelle Yeoh winning the Oscar, but the 60-year-old of domestic entertainment is that no matter how good your acting skills are, you must play a wicked mother-in-law or a shrewd mother-in-law.
In this way, the Three Golden Movie Queens slowly "degenerated" into shoddy small-screen dramas, becoming middle-aged women who are mostly built up of stereotypes.
However, for this point, as early as the turn of the millennium, Pan Hong, who is over forty-five years old, seems to have accepted the fact that "his own golden age has passed".
She always apologizes to the audience who loves her, and can't help but sigh: The creation of the subject matter has convergence, there are many restrictions, and there is no particularly novel and empathetic elderly character for the audience.
The media is accustomed to calling her "Queen of Pathos", always playing some tragic characters, some people say that drama is like life, life is like drama, and the aura in and out of the play will affect each other, which sounds like metaphysics, but there are reasonable places.
Now Pan Hong just wants to live her own life and live as a "single woman", it doesn't matter if she gets married or not, and she said: "I want to be alone in this world with my independent will and independent personality."
