A still from the new trailer for Wong Kar-wai’s first Chinese TV drama, Blossoms Shanghai. Its depiction of 1990s Shanghai has sparked debate.A visually sumptuous new trailer for Hong Kong film director Wong Kar Wai’s first foray into television, Blossoms Shanghai, has just dropped, but information on when the Chinese drama series will start streaming remains scant.
According to the trailer, which features colourful as well as moody scenes and a dramatic piano score reminiscent of the one that accompanies the opening credits of the HBO hit Succession , Blossoms Shanghai will be available exclusively on Tencent Video in China and on WeTV in the United States. But no release date has been announced.
“Shanghai in 1992 indeed looks like so, especially around Huanghe Road, the old Shanghai International Settlement. With the Shanghai Stock Exchange open at that time, the city flourished overnight just like that,” one user said on Chinese video review website Bilibili. Despite such doubts, there are plenty of critics and fans of Wong’s work eager to see the drama series.
