Although the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony has come to an end, the excitement has not faded.
In the past few days, netizens have been arguing endlessly about the issue of "Does Tony Leung deserve the Best Actor award, or is it based on seniority?" , and even some people in the industry have been killed. It is really lively.
I have one thing to say, Tony Leung's acting skills are absolutely no problem, otherwise it would be impossible to win awards and be soft-hearted.
Looking at Tony Leung's acting career, it is really a "great story". Including this award, Tony Leung has won the Golden Image Best Actor 26 times, the Golden Horse Best Actor 3 times, and the Golden Rooster Best Actor once.
(It’s really awesome, I’m afraid I can’t push trophies of all sizes in a room)
has won many domestic awards, and also won many foreign awards.
won the Best Actor at Cannes with "In the Mood for Love" in 2000. He is the only Cannes Best Actor in China, the other being Ge You; last year, Tony Leung won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Venice Film Festival.
Let alone the entire domestic entertainment industry, there are almost no actors in Asia who can rival him. So, why did Tony Leung cause controversy this time when he won the Best Actor Award?
First of all, the overall quality of the award-winning works is not good. The movie that helped Tony Leung win the Best Actor title this time is "Goldfinger", which has just passed the Douban rating and has a box office of about 570 million. Although the results of
are not particularly bad, they are definitely not outstanding. After all, this movie has a very strong lineup. No matter how you look at it, it is aiming for a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. In terms of
actors, in addition to Tony Leung, there are also Andy Lau, Charlene Choi, Simon Yam, Fong Zhongxin, and others. This is the second collaboration between Liang and Liu after many years, and the two worked very hard during the road show.
(Did you see that the celebrities are as big as Andy Lau and Tony Leung, and they have to be careful when doing business)
Director Zhuang Wenqiang also has a very strong resume. He is the director of the movies "Infernal Affairs" series, "The Overheard" series, "Initial D" ", "Daisy" and other works of screenwriter.
Previously, the movie "Wushuang" directed by Zhuang Wenqiang had a Douban score of 8.0 and a box office of 1.27 billion. In comparison, the results achieved by "Goldfinger" are really a bit "not good enough". While the quality of
's movie is average, Tony Leung's performance is not amazing enough and is quite satisfactory, with almost no breakthrough at all. This is also the fundamental reason why he caused controversy after winning the Best Actor.
What a coincidence, the actors who were shortlisted for Best Actor together with this time are all pretty good .
Lin Baoyi in "Under the Day", Huang Zihua in "Vicious Lawyer", Dapeng in "The Eighth Suspect", Lu Zhenye in "Diary of a Youth" . Among them, the top two have very high voices for winning the prize.
The movie "The Vengeful Lawyer" was a big hit in Hong Kong, creating a box office myth of over 100 million. Maybe you don’t have the idea that if the box office in Hong Kong exceeds tens of millions, it is worthy of a celebratory drink, and only a few of them have exceeded 100 million.
After its release in the mainland, the movie's box office revenue reached nearly 200 million, and Huang Zihua's performance was also praised by many netizens. The movie's Douban score is 7.5, which is enough to show that the quality is good.
's movie "Under the Sun" has received a huge reputation and received a total of 16 nominations for this year's Academy Awards. Except for Lin Baoyi's failure, the film directly won all the acting awards.
Isn’t it Lin Baoyi’s acting skills? Obviously not.
After the movie was released, Lin Baoyi was not only called the "elected actor" by many viewers, he was also the most popular winner of this year's Academy Awards. Before the award, many people thought he would win the actor trophy.
In "Under the Day", Lin Baoyi plays a "perverted" character who appears to be kind but actually does all kinds of evil. Such a role is not easy to play. Any more will make it look fake, and any less will make the audience laugh.
In addition, because Lin Baoyi plays a disabled person, in order to better interpret the role, Lin Baoyi went to experience the role before filming started. It can be seen that Lin Baoyi was very dedicated. It's a pity that I still missed out on being the best actor.
In fact, as an outstanding actor who has been in the industry for many years, Lin Baoyi has always been highly praised for his acting skills. However, most of his previous roles were in TV series. This year is the first time he has been nominated for Best Actor.
Regarding the matter of winning the award, Lin Baoyi himself was quite calm, saying that he was "confident and normal."
Excellent film and television works are rare. I don’t know how long it will take to meet the next "life role". Especially for Lin Baoyi, who is nearly 60 years old, the opportunities are even fewer.
Therefore, after the award results came out, many Hong Kong netizens were not satisfied with Tony Leung and felt sorry for Lin Baoyi and Huang Zihua. Some netizens even complained about the Academy Awards and included themselves in a small circle .
Although but, can this be said? Hong Kong netizens, dare to speak!
At the same time, some people in the industry can't sit still, such as director Wang Jing.
On the night after the Academy Awards, director Wang Jing posted on Weibo, saying "Goldfinger is by no means Tony Leung's best performance, it is a bit too much", and "If I were him, I would follow Alan Tam's example. Leslie Cheung announced that he would not Receive the award again and give the opportunity to the younger generation. "
As soon as this Weibo post was posted, it was no surprise that it caused controversy, and related entries became hot searches.
Some people agreed and felt that Tony Leung had already become famous and there was no need to keep fighting for opportunities with young people. Some netizens disagreed and felt that Wang Jing was openly engaging in "moral kidnapping".
I don’t quite understand Wong Jing’s brain circuit . Although Tony Leung’s award is controversial, this year’s popular award-winning actors Lin Baoyi and Huang Zihua are about the same age as him, and Huang Zihua is even 2 years older than him .
So, where does the younger generation come from?
Let’s take a step back. Even if takes the initiative to give young people opportunities, they still have to be able to afford them?
The Academy Awards have been criticized in recent years for being too self-proclaimed. Mainland actors have never been awarded Best Actor. The nominees and winners are always those "old uncles", and the audience has long been fed up with it.
Behind this, geographical issues are not mentioned for the time being. What is more important is that Hong Kong actors "break" .
The Wanwan entertainment industry can produce outstanding actors such as Wu Kangren, Xu Guanghan, and Ethan Ruan. However, there are no particularly well-known middle-aged actors in Hong Kong entertainment. The only one, Nicholas Tse, is obsessed with being a cook.
It seems that the only young male artist who is somewhat popular in the mainland today is "Hong Kong's top" Jiang Tao.
However, his popularity is not due to his good acting skills or good looks, but because people want to know "whether Hong Kong people really like Jiang Tao" and "how he became the top person in Hong Kong".
(I also really want to know, do Hong Kong netizens really like him, or are they just making fun of him?)
At last year’s award ceremony, Ng Zhenyu once made fun of him and said, “You can’t pick up the slack”, but one year later, this problem is not only It has not been solved, but has become more serious, which is enough to make people speechless.
Finally, it is said that there is always a talent pool in the country, so why haven’t the male actors in Hong Kong Entertainment been “up and coming”?
