It is worthy of being a big hit drama that Wong Kar-wai has saved for three years, broadcast bilingually on CCTV prime time, and the ratings continue to break 1 in 9 days, which can be called the strongest hit in 2024. And as soon as this old man appeared, he immediately understood, why did "Flowers" become a god?
The acting skills of all the staff are online, the sense of substitution is full, every frame is full of a sense of luxury, the Oscar Best Cinematographer Bao Dexi is in charge, the powerful super cameo lineup, and every face is a drama. However, the real dimensionality reduction blow is the filming technique of this whole drama. Director Wong Kar-wai only uses a single camera to shoot, and the reason is very simple, in order to ensure that everyone's light is the most perfect, and the girls filmed in this way are also the most beautiful and exquisite.
In the play, Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge is exquisite and noble, and Lingzi played by Ma Yili is delicate and capable. Miss Wang played by Tang Yan is in a hurry, and Li Li played by Xin Zhilei is even more amorous, domineering and dangerous. Wong Kar-wai used his aesthetics to tell internal entertainment what is the real beauty with connotation and texture, not white and thin, not milky sound.
And his supporting role is even more than a cow, the 90-year-old You Benchang is out of the mountain again, "Flowers" The original author Jin Yucheng also made a cameo, the music teacher who taught piano was the outstanding Chinese pianist Kong Xiangdong, you think that the ordinary art teacher is actually the well-known modern painter Chen Yiming, and the famous Shi Yihong of the Mei School of Shanghai Peking Opera Company, even the landlord Mr. Ge is deeply hidden, the famous burlesque actor Chen Guoqing, and Miss Wang's factory director is the former captain of the national football team Fan Zhiyi, Li Li's Min Min, in fact, the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Zeng Mei Huizi, Wen Zhaolun also came to make a cameo appearance, each character has its own story, this is the real group drama。
What's more worth mentioning is that in order to show the prosperity of Shanghai in the nineties of the last century, the crew built a 1-to-1 Yellow River Road with a total length of more than 200 meters after referring to a large number of evidence, which condensed more than 30 restaurants of different styles and a large number of neon lights, which set off the incomparably brilliant and gorgeous road.
It wasn't until I saw the glamorous proprietress played by this sister that I completely understood what was enough to shock the beauty of internal entertainment.
fully understands Xin Zhilei said that the role is very different from herself, she is funny and lying flat in the variety show, Li Li in "Flowers" is a rich flower in the world with all kinds of charms, and as soon as she appears, she is glamorous, no wonder even Xin Zhilei herself sighed that after filming "Flowers", she really realized her beauty.
Big wavy high heels, walking on the street, she is like a bright night rose under the Hong Kong style retro, and when she stops there, the neon signs on the whole street are eclipsed. Sure enough, I have seen too many boring little white flowers, and a strong face like Xin Zhilei is the real god, no wonder even director Wong Kar-wai is willing to make an exception for her.
You must know that when the crew of "Flowers" was casting, Wong Kar-wai said that the protagonist group must all be Shanghainese, but when he saw Xin Zhilei's knife that cut off most of the actresses' martial arts dreams in "Embroidered Spring Knife", he immediately decided to let this Northeast woman play the boss Li Li in the play.
And Xin Zhilei also lived up to expectations, practicing her body shape and walking posture, learning the feeling of her eyes, and interpreting the sense of story with a tiger in her heart very well. That condescending look that no one looks down on, like an elegant and beautiful Persian cat, even if you look up, your eyes are full of inevitable, are you fascinated by her?
