Of course it’s her, Charmaine Sheh, Best Actress at the Star Awards Ceremony.
Greater Bay Area Favorite Actress Award, Malaysia’s Favorite Actress Award, Charmaine Sheh.
After watching the three materials! In the just-concluded TVB "Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony 2023", Charmaine Sheh and "News Queen", who won 8 awards, were of course the biggest winners.
In addition to Charmaine Sheh winning the TV Grand Slam, Gao Haining, whose popularity has soared with "News Queen", also won the Best Supporting Actress Award for the first time; the "Best Drama Series" went to "News Queen".
That night, many media and audiences stayed in Macau to watch the red carpet event. As expected, there were constant surprises.
has seen enough red carpet scenes with earthy backgrounds. This year’s TVB finally has a new look.
In particular, Charmaine Sheh appeared in a black tube top dress with slanted bangs and oily hair. Her manners were elegant, her figure was exquisite, her shoulders, neck and waist were perfect. Coupled with the fans' support all the way, it can be said that on the red carpet, the visual Afterwards, the momentum is already full.
Charmaine Sheh was also all smiles and had an outstanding temperament, shining on the red carpet as if she knew the results of the awards in advance.
In addition to Charmaine Sheh, Ma Guoming and Gao Haining, who are also in the crew of "News Queen", are also a great combination with good looks.
Gao Haining's purple dress looks ordinary no matter how you look at it, but once she wears it, people can't take their eyes away.
There is also Ma Guoming, who was complained about getting old before. After marriage, his whole body is pink and tender, but he is old in no way.
Another "News Queen" pair, Tan Junyan and Li Shiwei, are also very good-looking.
Especially Li Shihua, although her clothes are not as good as Gao Haining's, she can't help but look good, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Other popular niches are also wonderful in their own way.
Chen Zhanpeng is really fat, even fatter makes him happy, but Wu Ruoxi looks better after being slightly fatter.
Cai Sibei and He Guangpei appeared together. Regardless of their popularity, there is a saying that Cai Sibei is really good-looking.
is also in stunning condition, showing off her superior body curves and shoulder and neck lines, which makes people exclaim that she is stunningly beautiful.
In addition, Wang Minyi's starlight tube top dress in "News Queen" is considered the most fashionable among actresses, and her appearance is also online.
The pairing of Li Nuoyi and Che Wanwan is also very fresh. Li Nuoyi is very handsome, while Cha Wanwan wore a black gold velvet semi-hollow skirt, which made her look stylish.
I have to mention Chen Hao.
They are just here to show their affection. She smiled like a flower directly on the red carpet. Who said there is no true love in the entertainment industry?
However, the guest singers who came to support the show were a bit out of fashion.
In recent years, Yan Mingxi, a popular singer from Hong Kong to the Mainland, what about this look? It’s better to change his stylist.
The red one-piece stockings on the lower body are so shocking that I won’t take a screenshot.
and this group of friends from "Asia Super Star Cluster", with you here I can understand why Jiang Tao is the top figure in today's Hong Kong music scene.
Anyway, compared to the previous ones, this year's red carpet was more star-studded, with constant climaxes, but what was even more exciting were the award-giving guests. I have to say that TVB really paid attention this time.
Although the Star Awards Ceremony is only equivalent to TVB's internal awards ceremony, due to TVB's unique position in the Hong Kong television industry, this awards ceremony has always been a benchmark for Hong Kong dramas. The newcomers back then are now all movie stars.
However, with the gradual decline of Hong Kong dramas, the influence of the award ceremony has gradually lost its former glory.
Whether it is a red carpet ceremony or an award ceremony, this award ceremony still made me see the triple "joy and worry".
will now tell you about the "joy" and "worry" of this awards ceremony, and the TVB and Hong Kong dramas behind it.
The first great joy: After Charmaine Sheh won the award for the third time, Gao Haining won the award and Ah She shed tears, Hong Kong drama was full of human touch
When I was on the red carpet, I not only had a premonition, but I was certain: Charmaine Sheh was going to win the award. .
Results Charmaine Sheh lived up to expectations and won a Grand Slam with "News Queen".
Because throughout the ceremony, Charmaine Sheh’s face shone with that “who else would you rather me” confident light.
Audiences who know Hong Kong dramas and Charmaine Sheh know that Charmaine Sheh’s growth is the most standard growth history of a powerful actor in Hong Kong dramas.
When she debuted in "Flying Fox", Charmaine Sheh was scolded by the Hong Kong audience for her lack of acting skills.
Who would have thought that after her acting skills came to fruition in "The Golden Bough", Charmaine Sheh would go all the way to "Walker" and become the most outstanding heroine in Hong Kong dramas.
is still enjoying success in entering the mainland, and the performance of the villain in "Story of Yanxi Palace" has established its status.
"News Queen" is Charmaine Sheh's return to TVB for the first time in six years. The news anchor Wen Huixin played by her has been full of excitement from the very beginning. If it were not for her wonderful performance and the excellent plot alone, I am afraid it would not be so easy for a Hong Kong drama to taste "out of the circle" again after so many years.
There was also a surprise at the awards ceremony, with two award guests: Lin Feng and Yang Xiyao (Yang Yi).
Wireless understands its audience.
Among Hong Kong drama actors, Charmaine Sheh is the one who has played the most lovers with Raymond Lam.
Charmaine Sheh and Yang Qiyao have also collaborated in classic dramas such as "The Palace".
Charmaine Sheh won the "Best Actress" award in 2006 ("Phoenix Quartet") and 2014 ("Walker"). This is her third award. She also broke TVB's record and became the first artist to win "Best Actress" three times.
But what moved me the most was that Gao Haining won the Best Supporting Actress Award for "News Queen".
From the moment the award was announced, the extremely cool Gao Haining in the drama turned into a crybaby.
This is okay. The problem is that Charmaine Sheh in the audience also cried.
In the end, Gao Haining smiled on the stage and said, "This is the first time I have won an award in fifteen years of being in the industry." However, Charmaine Sheh wiped tears in the audience.
This moment should be the most touching and happiest moment at this award ceremony. The powerful people in TVB are all daughters-in-law who have become mothers-in-law for many years.
What he has gained is not his qualifications, but his acting skills.
The second great joy: "News Queen" won eight awards, Charmaine Sheh whistled to invite Julian Cheung to present awards.
Who would have thought that TVB would turn an award ceremony into a memory-killing event. When
announced the "Best Drama Series", the host asked Charmaine Sheh to blow the whistle, and
summoned "Brother Chu" Julian Cheung, and the audience instantly dreamed back to "Moonlight on the Fifth of October" many years ago.
"Best TV series" is undoubtedly "News Queen". The drama also won the Greater Bay Area Favorite TVB Drama Award.
Director Zhong Shujia said in his acceptance speech: "'News Queen' proves that co-production dramas can be great. I hope to do more high-quality co-productions in the future." Show it to everyone."
Although it was expected, having such a Hong Kong drama makes the Thousand Stars Award Ceremony well-deserved, and it is also one of the great surprises brought by this award ceremony.
hopes that the momentum of this Hong Kong drama can continue.
The third surprise: Chen Hao's award-winning wife presented the award. Wireless jokes are okay, good actors are worth cherishing.
This year's TV drama belongs to Chen Hao.
Audiences who have watched the drama "The Strong Man" know that there is not much to say, but Chen Hao's acting skills are really top-notch.
It can even be said that it was his acting skills alone that supported a drama.
But the most interesting thing is the presenters: Shan Wenrou + Aimee Chen + Huang Cuiru + Tang Luowen.
Anyway, whichever of your TVB husbands wins the award can ask his wife to present the award.
Unexpectedly, Aimee Chen, who was so happy just now, cried again when she presented the award to her husband.
Although there are many couples in the entertainment industry getting married, this couple really restored the reputation of TVB couples. The humor designed by
tvb also brought the most important awards atmosphere to a climax, and everyone was very happy.
But the most precious thing is that a powerful actor like Chen Hao can always continue to show his strongest acting skills after many years. It is hard to say whether "The Strong Man" is strong or not, but his acting skills in the drama are really strong. . Good actors like
are also the foundation of today's Hong Kong dramas.
After watching the triple "joy", I had to feel disappointed and understand the decadence that this year's awards show, intentionally or unintentionally.
The first worry: the best drama "News Queen" has a high reputation but a low reputation
Among the nominations for the best drama series this year, "News Queen" actually has no rivals. This year's highlight drama "Invisible Team" has exciting action scenes. Not enough story.
"The Strong Man" is all about Chen Hao's acting skills.
Finally, "News Queen" won the award and deserved it. There is no problem with the reputation of the
series, and it even has a rating of 7.8 on Douban.
The problem is that the episode score is much higher than 7.8.
The problem appears in the ending. Even if it is not said to be a bad ending, it can be called a high start and a low end.
The foundation of the success of "News Queen" is that it combines the essence of workplace dramas and court battle dramas that TVB is best at. It is extremely enjoyable for people to watch. Unfortunately, in the last part, everything still gives way to the enjoyable dramas, and the main heroine fights hastily. In the end, if it weren't for Charmaine Sheh and Gao Haining's outstanding acting skills, the series might not have the reputation it has now.
To be honest, although the series has revitalized the momentum of Hong Kong dramas, it is still far from the real workplace drama classics of TVB, such as "The Royal Court", "The Hands of Mercy" and "Up to the Sky".
"News Queen" outshines the classics of the golden age of Hong Kong dramas in quality, which seems to have brought some uncertainty to the future of Hong Kong dramas.
The second biggest worry: "old people" form a team to win awards, while newcomers are all hiding. Where will the future of Hong Kong dramas be?
If you take a closer look at this year's award list, you will find a sad pattern: the winners are all "old people" ". Even the person who presented the award was an "old man".
TV queen, Charmaine Sheh, received the three-time TV queen trophy and is 48 years old this year.
Chen Hao, the emperor, has proclaimed himself emperor twice and is 52 years old this year.
Ma Guoming, a popular TV star, is also 49 years old this year.
is the best supporting actress, Gao Haining, who looks young and could be 37 years old. At this age, in domestic entertainment, she is actually old enough to play a mother in a fairy tale drama.
Raymond Lam, who presented the award to Charmaine Sheh, was 44 years old. Chen Zhanpeng, who has starred in many action dramas, is also 47 years old.
What does this prove? It proves that the actors who supported Hong Kong dramas are still actors trained at the end of TVB’s golden generation to this day.
The lack of success is not only the reality of Hong Kong movies, but also the reality of Hong Kong dramas.
Today’s new generation of Hong Kong dramas, who can take the lead?
Haoxin, the two-time TV king who once had high hopes from TVB, left the nest after playing "The King of Kings".
is a new generation, who can be responsible for it?
It’s not that Charmaine Sheh and Chen Hao dominate the leading role and never let go. Charmaine Sheh left the nest for six years, and Chen Hao also disappeared for a short period of time. Did the new Xiaohua Xiaosheng seize the opportunity?
00 was unable to emerge at the forefront. It was not that TVB did not give them a chance, but that they themselves did not seize the opportunity with one drama like Stephen Chow did back then.
So Hong Kong dramas are still supported by the old gangs and lakes in the past.
For next year's TVB major drama, "Criminal Investigation 12", please return Lin Baoyi and join Ma Guoming.
"Heroes 4", the protagonist is still Li Yaoxiang, and his partner is Wu Dingxin.
These "old guys" are destined to grow old. One day they will no longer be able to act. Where will Hong Kong dramas go?
The third worry: looking forward and backward, Hong Kong dramas are on the verge of losing their shape and losing creativity
Let’s talk about "News Queen", why the second half of the story is weak.
I just think that it is to cater to the trend of Chinese dramas.
But what were the Hong Kong dramas like back then?
In Li Tiansheng's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they found an actor to play the role of the Condor Heroes and asked Huang Rihua to play the stereo, and still created classics.
TVB workplace drama classics have become the workplace memories of a generation.
"Genesis" said many things that today's Chinese dramas dare not say. The audiences who understood the drama back then became rich and free.
As for Hong Kong dramas today, co-production dramas are the way to go because there is a bigger market. If
has a bigger market, it will have a bigger budget. It can invite Charmaine Sheh back to expand production.
But maybe this is another self-inflicted trap.
Although in today's difficult situation of Hong Kong dramas, it is obviously harsh to demand that Hong Kong dramas be both innovative and out of tune.
But by blindly catering to the tastes of mainland audiences, Hong Kong dramas have fallen into the dilemma of losing their Hong Kong flavor.
Over time, the creativity of Hong Kong dramas has declined, and their storytelling abilities have gradually fallen out of step with the times.
If Hong Kong dramas don’t find a way to solve this dilemma, then the future pattern of Hong Kong dramas may become smaller and smaller.
In my memory, TVB’s most exciting Taiwan celebration was the one in 2009.
The actors back then appeared in classic drama styles, including Charmaine Sheh, Guan Juying and Michelle from "The Princess Got Married".
There are Deng Cuiwen, Lin Baoyi and Chen Hao from "The Golden Branch".
Yang Yi from "The Palace" and Myolie Wu from "My Sassy Mother-in-law".
and Li Yaoxiang from "Heroes"...
At that time, TVB was really full of stars, and it could bear the words "thousands of stars".
In contrast, today's thousands of stars, although many people from those years are still there, still give people a sense of fatigue and powerlessness. In the final analysis, it is because of the decline of Hong Kong dramas.
Hong Kong has the heritage of Chinese culture, and Hong Kong dramas have the ability to tell good stories. Hong Kong professional dramas and police and gangster dramas are still unique among Chinese dramas. The mature skills of such genre dramas cannot be caught up in a few moments by domestic entertainment.
But Hong Kong dramas must figure out what it is that Hong Kong dramas give the audience a glimpse of forever.
Only the revitalization of Hong Kong dramas can support thousands of stars.
"Heroes" puts it well, how many decades are there in life? How many more decades do Hong Kong dramas have left?
I hope Hong Kong dramas will seize the day.
