From December 27th, the TV series "Flowers" produced by CCTV, Tencent Video, Shanghai Film (Group) Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Flower, produced by Zedong Film, landed on CCTV8 golden file, and was broadcast exclusively on Tencent Video. It was broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV on January 2nd. The play is adapted from the writer Jin Yucheng’s "Five One Projects" and the Mao Dun Literary Award-winning novel of the same name, and is produced and directed by Wang Jiawei. Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan and Xin Zhilei lead the lead roles.
The drama focuses on Shanghai during the period of great change in the times, revolving around the cross-narrative of A Bao, showing the ups and downs of the life of the trendsetters in the business scene of the Shanghai Storm Fair in the early 1990s. The core of "Flowers" begins with people and does not stop at people, and the era behind the portraits of the characters has always been the creative motif of the drama. In order to accurately present the sense of the times behind the story, director Wang Jiawei has undergone repeated scrutiny on the script, casting, clothing, and light and shadow effects. The crew has carried out six years of preparatory work, striving to bring the audience into the atmosphere of the era of Shanghai’s local customs and rapid economic development in the 1990s.
Hu Ge avoided Ma Yili’s direct gaze. Why did he not dare to face his partner?
In the old alley in Shanghai, Bao and Reiko stood opposite each other. The two of them jointly operated a local restaurant "Night Tokyo" on Jinxian Road, and they were partners who knew the micro-time and walked side by side. The atmosphere of the two on the poster was a little tense. In the picture, "For me, there is nothing that I can’t bear to part with," which seemed to allude to the subtle character relationship between Bao and Reiko.
Hu Ge, Tang Yan, fashion trendsetters, best friends are never business
Bao took advantage of the wind of the times to rise to become Bao Zong, relying on "the right hand to grasp foreign trade, the left hand to engage in stocks". The foreign trade company he founded is anchored at No. 27 on the Bund, and Miss Wang is a staff member here. In the poster picture, Mr. Bao said to Miss Wang, "For me, ribs rice cakes have never been a business." As a representative of Shanghai-style snacks, ribs rice cakes are famous for their waxy, crispy, fragrant and affordable. Such a civilian snack with regional characteristics not only shows the life-like side of the two people, but also hints at the escalation of their relationship.
Hu Ge smiled at Xin Zhilei, remembering everything that should be remembered
On the poster, Mr. Bao’s gaze at Li Li is very interesting, there is admiration in the examination, and there is definitely fear in the examination. Li Li came to Shanghai alone from Shenzhen and opened the leading luxury restaurant Zhizhen Garden on the most prosperous Yellow River Road in Shanghai. With accurate vision and hard wrists, how could she be just a simple hotel proprietress? She faced two lines of small print, "I will remember what should be remembered, in my way". The restaurants on the Yellow River Road are all business venues for news exchanges. Li Li and Mr. Bao are so tit-for-tat, which must indicate that the two of them will rise and fall in the business sea together.
The three posters show the relationship between Ah Bao and the three female protagonists from different sides, and also reveal the character positioning of the four protagonists at different stages from the details, leaving a lingering rhyme for the struggle of the character group portraits in the context of the changing times, which makes the audience more curious about the actual appearance of the play.
The TV drama "Flowers" projects the story perspective on the early 1990s. The spring breeze of the big era is on the rise, and Shanghai, as a frontier of economic development, has shown a vigorous and upward vitality in all walks of life. Director Wang Jiawei said in the trailer that A Bao, who had nothing, turned gorgeously within ten years and became the all-powerful Bao Zong. "In addition to his personal struggles, he also needs the blessing of the times." The drama begins with the fate of the little people in the background of the big era. It shows the vitality of countless A Bao in the section of the era. How will it finally fall back into the innovative expression of the times?
All the curiosities and questions will be answered in the TV series "Flowers". It is reported that in addition to the Mandarin version, the Shanghai version of "Flowers" will also be launched in the near future. The actors said in the latest trailer that the story is presented in Shanghai dialect, the characters are more intimate, and the language expression is more local. It has its own flavor and flavor with the Mandarin version. Of course, it is also equally exciting. Tonight at 19:30, lock in the CCTV-8 gold powerhouse and Tencent video, and bloom together with "Flowers".
