The TV series "Wind Chaser" starring Wang Yibo has come to an end. The show was broadcast simultaneously on CCTV 8 and iQiyi. According to data provided by Kuyun: "Storm Chaser" has the highest ratings of all channel dramas in 2024. The peak runner-up is the third runner-up in the average ratings of all channel dramas in 2024, and has ranked first in the average ratings of all channel dramas for 18 consecutive days.
At the same time, "Storm Chaser" has a high number of views on iQiyi and is very popular on the entire Internet. On April 12, 2024, the official Weibo of the "Shanghai TV Festival", the organizer of the Magnolia Awards, announced some of the entries for the Magnolia Awards, including "The Storm Chaser". Among these 15 works, " Blossoms " is not included, but "Flowers" will definitely be signed up. Because the Magnolia Award is held in Shanghai, and "Flowers" also tells the story of Shanghai.
The male lead in "Flowers" Hu Ge is from Shanghai. In addition, "Flowers" also has many actors from Shanghai, such as Ma Yili , Tang Yan , Huang Ling , Zheng Kai , Chen Long , Wu Yue, papi Jiang , Fan Tantan , Wang Ju, Fan Zhiyi, Dai Jun, etc. Therefore, Hu Ge has basically already determined the Best Actor for this Magnolia Award. As for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress, they may also come from "Flowers".
If Wang Yibo wants to win the Magnolia Award as the Best Actor, he must defeat Hu Ge. As a result, fans suspected of Wang Yibo took action and gave "Wind Chaser" positive reviews and "Flowers" negative reviews on Douban. Wang Yibo's fans seemed to be belittling Hu Ge, but they also wanted to praise Wang Yibo. On the surface, this is a spontaneous behavior of ordinary viewers and has nothing to do with Wang Yibo; but in fact, insiders know that this is the most basic operation of the fandom - to attack opponents and improve oneself.
The launch date of "Flowers" is December 27, 2023, so is it a TV series in 2023 or 2024? Who is the “number one hit drama in 2024”? Wang Yibo and Hu Ge started an invisible competition with "Wind Chaser" and "Flowers". Wang Yibo, this young and promising actor, showed his unique charm and increasingly mature acting skills in "The Storm Chaser". The characters he plays are soulful and complex, allowing the audience to see more possibilities for him as an actor.
Hu Ge is a recognized actor in the industry. His performance in "Flowers" is still stable and outstanding, vividly interpreting the shrewdness and sophistication of a Shanghai man. Both actors performed well in their respective dramas, but if you want to choose one of them with better acting skills, that's a matter of opinion. Wu Qinggong, a non-famous entertainment critic, pointed out: "Flowers" was out of the entertainment industry, but "The Storm Chaser" was not.
"The Storm Chasers" tells the story of a group of young people pursuing their self-worth and ideals and beliefs in the wave of history. The plot has ups and downs and is full of youthful blood and passion. "Flowers" is set in Shanghai, depicting the rise and fall of multiple families in the changing times, and showing the complexity and contradictions of human nature in a prosperous society. "The Storm Chaser" pays more attention to the rendering of emotions and the shaping of characters, while "Flowers" not only tells the story, but also deeply explores social phenomena and human nature issues.
Whether an actor can win the honor of being a TV star, in addition to their performance in the play and audience reputation, is also affected by many factors, such as the judges' evaluation, the strength of the competitors, etc. Hu Ge is playing at home in the Magnolia Award, and his probability of winning the award is almost 100%. Even putting aside the "host" factor, Hu Ge's acting skills are better than Wang Yibo's. If Wang Yibo gained the title of "Sight Emperor" at such a young age and defeated a great player like Hu Ge, Wang Yibo would be infamy.
