《Full Bloom》In addition to Liu Yifei's beauty

《Full Bloom》, the play has been aired, and it has been loved and sought after by the audience as soon as it was aired, whether it is from the storyline, the persuasion, or the appearance and acting skills of the actors.This is a high-quality work.

In the recent TV drama "Full Bloom", Liu Yifei's starring role in the heartthrob "Rose" can be said to be highly anticipated.

You must know that Rose is one of the most beautiful heroines in Yi Shu's works. When this book first came out in 1981, I was only six years old.Later, I probably read this book in a hurry when I was a teenager.When I read such romance novels at that age, I didn’t have a very deep understanding of emotions except for the fact that Rose was super beautiful.Later, I re-read it again when I was in my twenties. I vaguely remembered that Rose was extremely beautiful, but she met many unkind people, but she was still liked by many men.

For young girls, after reading such a novel that praises the power of beauty, their pursuit and affirmation of beauty will undoubtedly be extra strong throughout their lives.But beauty often requires a lot of talent. Even in modern society where medical beauty is prevalent, beauty seems to be much more accessible to the people, but beauty like a rose is rare among the rare.

In 1986, a movie called Full Bloom was filmed in Hong Kong, and the heroine was Maggie Cheung.

I vaguely remember that in that distant era, many gossip magazines once questioned Maggie Cheung's appearance and her unbearability for the role of “Rose”.I also vaguely remember that when I watched this movie, I always seemed to be vaguely disengaged.Perhaps the beauty of roses in Yi Shu's paintings is more like an abstract symbol.

Yi Shu's original work - Full Bloom - is divided into four parts, describing roses from four people's different perspectives.

For the convenience of readers who have not read this novel, I will use rose-colored text to quote some of the original content in this article. Those who are familiar with it can skip and read the rest.

In the first part - Rose -, Yi Shu describes Rose from the perspective of Huang Zhenhua (Rose's brother, played by Tong Dawei in the play):

“ Rose is so beautiful, with rose-colored skin, round eyes, a blue mole on her left cheek, long legs, strong chest, and very lively and cheerful.”

In the first part - Rose -, Yi Shu describes Rose from the perspective of Huang Zhenhua (Rose's brother, played by Tong Dawei in the play):

“ Rose is so beautiful, with rose-colored skin, round eyes, a blue mole on her left cheek, long legs, strong chest, and very lively and cheerful.”

When Huang Zhenghua’s wife Su Gengsheng saw a rose for the first time, Yi Shu wrote:

“ Rose chased me and scolded me. When she (Su Gengsheng) saw Rose, she suddenly asked out loud: "This is your friend!”

“No,”I replied,“my little sister.”

She shouted: “Oh, it turns out that there really is such a thing as beautiful women in the world.”I was surprised, “what?”“Your sister is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.” she said softly.

Later, when Rose grew older, she described it like this:

“As time goes by, the childishness of the rose gradually disappears.She has lost weight, her face has become smaller, her chin is pointed, her eyes are becoming more watery and sparkling, her long eyelashes cover her eyes darkly, and her expression has an unpredictable melancholy.But this is not the case. Rose is not a girl with a soul. She has no ideas. Her only culture is to pick up one or two novels by Zhang Ailing in my study.

As her brother, he was used to seeing her facial features and did not think she was particularly beautiful, but when others saw the rose, they were all amazed.A male colleague said: "The most attractive thing is her lips, which are small but thick, as if she has thousands of words to say at any time, but she is so young, what does she have to say? It's really confusing.”

Yeah?They don't know about real roses.Holding a girl like this, just because of her beauty, is very dangerous and unfair to Rose herself."

The second part - Rose in Bloom - is from the perspective of Fu Jiamin. He is the younger brother of Fu Jiaming, the man Rose loves deeply, and he is also Rose's loyal pursuer for many years.Yishu wrote:

“When I saw Yellow Rose, I was shocked by her beauty.It was a rainy day. I arrived at Huangzhai's old house, but was delayed for twenty minutes due to traffic jam. I forgot to bring an umbrella again, so I ran upstairs in the rain, half of my pants were soaked, and I rang the bell hurriedly. As soon as the door opened,I was stunned.

I believe my mouth must be open and closed, because I have never been superstitious about beautiful women and believe that women win by their temperament. However, when I saw this woman standing in the door, I was so amazed that I couldn't rely on myself.

How should I describe her?

She was very tired at the time. As soon as she opened the door, she leaned against the door frame, her face slightly raised with a questioning look. Her skin was crystal white, there was a mole under the corner of her eye, but her eyes were gloomy and black. Her hair was pulled back.Tie up with elastic bands, wear a black silk gown, with a white flower pinned to the front.

Her beauty is flowing, and people can't help but look at her again and again. She seems to be used to this kind of gaze, and she just waits quietly for me to speak.After a while, I said: "My name is Pu Jiamin, Mr. Huang asked me to come.”"

What is more interesting is the perspective of Rose's son-in-law Zhou Tonghua in the third part - The Last Rose. His attitude when he didn't see Rose at the beginning:

“I thought again: No matter how beautiful a forty-year-old woman is, she is still an old woman. A woman who can abandon her young daughter and ignore her has limited beauty.”

But when he first saw a rose, he BE LIKE:

“I was stunned.

She didn't have any manners, nor was she dressed up. She looked very nervous and held her hands.

This woman was not young at all. She was wearing a very ordinary black dress, the only feature of which was a jade-matched belt.

But her beauty is indescribable!Her face was simply glowing softly and crystal clear, her eyes were as profound as black jade, her figure was slender and slender, and she looked like she had stepped out of a painting of a beautiful lady. Was she the mother of Taichu?

I didn't believe there was such a thing as beautiful women in the world.The beauty of Taichu only made me feel warm and comfortable, but the beauty of this woman is thrilling and beyond my control.I suddenly felt a sense of fear and was speechless.”

The last chapter - Rose Goodbye - is from the perspective of Luo Zhenzhong, the son of Rose's second husband Sir Luo. The scene when he first meets his stepmother is described by Yi Shu like this:

“ There was a girl squatting there, wearing thick gloves, pruning some rose-red azaleas.

She was wearing a black sweater and trousers, her long hair was pulled into a low bun with a jade hairpin, and the skin at the corners of her ears was as white as gel.

I couldn't help but leaned forward to see her profile.

She cut the branches very attentively, and I had no choice but to turn sideways again. Just as I was thinking about coughing, I stepped on the wrong foot and slipped into the goldfish pond. There was a splash and water splashed everywhere. The lower half of my body suddenly became aSoaked chicken.

The girl turned her head when she heard the sound, surprised.

I originally wanted to apologize out loud, but when I saw the girl's face, I was stunned. The girl of my dreams who had been waiting for half my life appeared at this moment.

I was so speechless that I couldn't utter a word. I didn't care that I was wet, so I just stood in the pool.

I saw her holding up the goldfish that I bounced on the grass next to the pond.

”Oh, pity my blistered eyes, my hydrangea head...“ She raised her eyes and lightly scolded me, ”You sir, why are you so reckless?“

I looked at her with my mouth wide open.

She gently put the goldfish into the pool.

”You still haven’t come up?The water is cold.“ She kicked her feet.

I climbed up to the edge of the pool in one step, carrying lotus flowers and water plants on my leather shoes.

”What did you do?“She blamed, ”My fish pond is finished.“

”Oh, I'm sorry.“My eyes never left her smile.

”Hey, who are you?“she asked me.

I was still there saying: ”Oh, I'm sorry.%The whole person was as if struck by lightning."

Maybe it’s because these words are so profound, until I saw Liu Yifei, it seemed as if these words finally spelled out a face.

Of course, this does not mean that Maggie Cheung is not as beautiful as Liu Yifei.It's that Maggie Cheung's beauty is more flexible and needs to be experienced. For example, she is very suitable for Jiang Nansun in Yi Shu's novel.But the beauty of roses seems to be more in line with Liu Yifei's naked beauty written on her face.

I have said so much above, but in fact I am just recalling the central idea of ​​the whole article - Full Bloom - how a beautiful girl lives her life, and how can she have so many suitors?What about a good life?

The Rose in the book used her beauty to commit crimes when she was young, and had no sympathy for her suitors and their wives and girlfriends.After experiencing the crazy Zhou Shihui and Zhuang Guodong, he married the mediocre Fang Xiewen.

Rose's marriage to Fang Xiewen was a compromise in life, and it was also because Rose's mother liked Fang Xiewen very much:

She expressed her position in the book: “ is really an impeccable boy, honest and sincere, a gentleman who says one thing is one thing and two things means two things. It is really a blessing for our family that Rose can meet him.Xiewen is not only excellent in character and academics, but also has a good family environment. He only has two older brothers, both of whom are successful in their careers. His parents are still young, and the whole family has become an American citizen. I can say that I have no worries.”

As for Fang Xiewen, apart from being ordinary and boring, everything else is okay.The book says that after Rose gave birth to her child, she and Fang Xiewen returned to Hong Kong. That time, Fang Xiewen served Rose with tea, cloths, pulled out chairs, put on her coat, lit cigarettes, and waited on her all night long.“

The description of Fang Xiewen's appearance in the book is very ordinary. For example: Fang Xiewen had a beer belly before he reached middle age. He had a dull look, frowned all the time, and had sweat on his forehead. He held it with his hands every now and then.Holding up the frame of his glasses, he kept complaining about the hot weather, the crowds, and the fierce competition in Hong Kong.

This role is played by Lin Gengxin, who is a bit too handsome.

At the same time, Zhou Shihui is described in the book like this: ” is young and mature, his world is bright and happy, and his person is upright and noble. He is not interested at all in poems, pictures, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.“

But Zhou Shihui in the play is really not ”rect and noble“”.

But even if Zhou Shihui is upright and noble, from the perspective of the original work, Rose definitely has no love for Zhou Shihui.At that time, she was very young and enjoying the privilege of beauty.

Her first deep love was Zhuang Guodong, but in the original work Zhuang Guodong wanted to marry the painter's fiancée, so Mei Mei was severely weakened, so she left Hong Kong and came to New York to marry the ordinary Fang Xiewen.

Later, she returned to Hong Kong, suffered a second love brain attack, and fell in love with Fu Jiaming. Jiaming only had a few months to live, so she gave up her daughter and stayed with Jiaming.

Rose only has her second marriage, and marrying Sir Luo is a rational and calm decision.So when I read Full Bloom, I just felt that the whole book was about one thing, that is, if you have a good family background and enough beauty, you can live a casual life, and it will definitely not be too bad anyway.

But looking back now, I feel that Fang Xiewen is really an honest person.

At least when Rose was in the United States, she could marry a chicken or a dog, and her quality of life would follow that of the Fang family. She didn't use her natal family's money to support her husband's family.

When she returned to Hong Kong from Rose, she asked Su Gengsheng if there were jeans sold for seven yuan a pair in Stanley. She wanted to buy thirty pairs and wear them slowly back in the United States. She also asked about leather shoes for fifty yuan a pair.

This seems unlikely for a rich girl to marry a boy from an ordinary family in real life.Especially when the mother-in-law is still satisfied with the son-in-law.

After all, Rose was a girl who lived in an independent house when she returned to Hong Kong. When her brother Huang Zhenhua went to pick up his niece Fang Taichu, the driver drove a Bentley and the food was all the best. A meal cost 6,000 yuan. In Hong Kong in the 1980s,.

Therefore, although Rose was disheartened in the United States, broke everything, married Fang Xiewen, and gave birth to a daughter, in the true sense, her life was not completely ruined by this marriage.It's all because Fang Xiewen is still an honest person.

If Fang Xiewen is not honest, writes short essays, cries, makes trouble, and hangs himself, and uses his daughter to get roses for money, what about the roses?

And Fu Jiaming is also a decent family. Although he is in poor health, he does not tarnish Rose's love life.

Although Rose is in love, she has not been cheated of money by men.I wonder if this is a love habit in the 1980s, or in romance novels, there is no way to make the too unbearable truth public.

As women who grew up reading Yi Shu's novels, to be honest, we really can't recall seeing women being deceived out of money by men in Yi Shu's novels.Therefore, I have always been negligent about women being defrauded of money by men. It was not until I grew up and matured that I realized that the most terrifying thing for women in love is being defrauded of money.

But romance novels hardly like to talk about it.Maybe after saying these things, it's not a romance novel at all.

Even if Rose is a heavy love brain, her love is always beautiful.Fang Xiewen, who was the most miserable, finally brought up his daughter well. After Rose left Fang Xiewen, she lived a life of fine clothes and fine food in Hong Kong. Fang Xiewen never thought of coming here to make a fortune.

I don’t know if it means that people in the 1980s are more enlightened, or if the habit of romance novels always seeing through but not telling the truth is suspected of misleading young people.

This has caused many women to be very persistent in love. Of course, they are not as lucky as the heroines in romance novels. Most of them end up being defrauded of money.

Not long ago, I saw a blogger on the Internet discussing that women nowadays don’t talk about love anymore, and they seem to feel humble when it comes to love.I like big heroines and a career.

And I think that for thousands of years, women have talked about love, liked love, and been obsessed with love for too long.For women, love is driven by hormones. There is really no need to worry about women really giving up on love easily.

It is very difficult for women to make up their minds to pursue a career.

Just like this small detail and story in Full Bloom that is easily forgotten:

“ Mrs. Watson walked in through the door. She was a very fashionably dressed young woman, with a section of her short hair dyed blond. She wore a beautiful suit, black and white, which was eye-catching and eye-catching.

I rushed to greet him.

She was startled when she saw me, and immediately blurted out: "Zhenhua, it's you!”

She seemed to be meeting an old friend, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen her.

“Zhenhua, I am Guan Zhizhi.”

I was still stunned and embarrassed.

“Zhenhua,” she approached and laughed softly, “I am Zhou Shihui's former wife, you forgot.”

I lost my voice, “It's you, ”I said sincerely, “You are much more beautiful and full of energy, I didn't recognize you, I'm sorry, how about it?Is life pleasant?Hi?”I shook her hand warmly."

In the TV series, the first scene shows the marriage certificate of Guan Zhizhi and Zhou Shihui.

Yes, this is Guan Zhizhi. In the book, she became Mrs. Watson after the divorce.And Mr. Watson is very supportive of her career, and she is doing very well in her career.

Yishu also wrote:

“When I (Huang Zhenhua) got home that day, before I had time to put down my briefcase, I told the whole story to the new student.

Geng Sheng laughed and said, "You keep chattering like a woman with a long tongue.”

I ignored her. I thought that if the marriage had not failed, Guan Zhizhi would never be as outstanding as she is today. She has a good demeanor and elegant conversation, so it is a blessing in disguise.“

Geng Sheng pondered for a while, and then she said: ”Women are very infatuated. Unless they are forced to do something, they will not develop their careers.%"

Yes, even Yi Shu has never written about a woman who only pursues career and has no love brain at all.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about women forgetting about love.

If one day, all the novels women read and all the movies they watch educate women about the horror of love, then let’s worry about whether women will no longer pursue love, and lament the passing of love.

After all, more than thirty years later, we are still watching TV series adapted from Yi Shu's works.And I also lament that there are no men in the drama who cheat women out of money when they are in love. Men in the 1980s were really enlightened.

This shows that in these thirty years, only women have never given up on love.
