Wang Yibo and Wang Yang both applied for the Magnolia Award for Best Actor. As a result, Wang Yang was shortlisted and Wang Yibo was not selected, which triggered heated discussions. Especially Wang Yibo fans believed that Wang Yibo's Best Actor nomination was stolen by Wang Yang because they believed that Wang Yibo was nominated for the Magnolia Award. Yang is a supporting actor, not the protagonist, so he can only be nominated for Best Supporting Actor instead of Best Actor.
The incident had a great impact. Wang Yang and his family were exposed online. Then the producer explained the situation. Director Chen Zhixi also stated that he did not think too much about it. The producer believed that the main creator and actors were not informed when applying for the award, which was also questioned by fans because The shortlisting rules stipulate that five stills of the shortlisted actors must be signed. Wang Yang also briefly responded that he is serious about acting well. Wang Yibo also said that the recognition of "Wind Chaser" is inseparable from everyone's hard work and dedication. He will continue to give his best and focus on every role and work.
This incident actually did not solve an important issue. They also did not respond to why Wang Yang was used to squeeze out the Best Actor nominations. In fact, Wang Yibo fans believe that Wang Yibo is the real leading male and should be nominated for Best Actor. However, Wang Yang is a supporting actor, and this drama does not have two male leads, so Wang Yibo can only be nominated for Best Actor, and Wang Yang should be nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
The matter is a bit big. Although the creators and actors have expressed their opinions, it is difficult to convince Wang Yibo fans. Wang Yibo fans think that the application is unreasonable. In fact, Magnolia does not divide the ranks, and the nominations will be biased in the application.
Drama critic Li Xingwen made a list. In the history of the Magnolia Awards, it is not unprecedented for a supporting actor to be shortlisted for Best Actor. "Hey! "Old Man" had Huang Lei nominated for the second episode, but Li Xuejian was not nominated as the male lead; "The Pretender" Hu Ge was the male lead, and Jin Dong was nominated for the best actor for the second episode; "The Young Marshal" second episode teacher Li Xuejian was nominated for the best actor Best Actor, the leading male article was not shortlisted; Lei Jiayin from the fourth episode of "My First Half of Life" was nominated for Best Actor; Ding Yongdai from the second episode of "South to North" was nominated for Best Actor, and Wang Yang from the third episode Nominated for Best Actor.
I guess a similar incident happened at the Magnolia Awards. Actors from different series applied for Best Actor, but one actor was not nominated for Best Actor. What Wang Yibo's fans don't understand, and in fact most netizens don't understand either, is why an actor who can apply for Best Supporting Actor has to compete with an actor for Best Actor nomination?
The Magnolia Award may not be controlled by the applicant. They also make comparisons and selections based on the application. This matter made a big fuss. I feel that the problem is not because the fans are making trouble unreasonably. Maybe they just want an explanation. However, an insider of the Magnolia Awards revealed that their selection is indeed not based on the ranking, but based on the comparison and comparison of candidates provided by the applicant unit. filter. The applicant also made a mistake, causing Wang Yang and Wang Yibo to appear on the same track. Of course, the jury chose Wang Yang because he was mature and sophisticated, while Wang Yibo was still a rising young actor.
The current behavior of Wang Yibo fans asking for explanations has also attracted the attention of relevant people in the industry. The famous director Gao Qunshu (Weibo account: He has returned to a mental hospital) believes that because of this uproar, the show will most likely not be successful. This means that Wang Yibo’s fans are too noisy and have already been paid attention to, so the probability of this drama winning an award may be zero.
Actually, that’s not necessarily the case, because the attention is too high and fans are reluctant to give in. The judges of the Magnolia Awards may be more cautious, so it may not be that everything is lost, right? The drama has been shortlisted for a total of five nominations, including Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art, etc. It has the same number of nominees as "South and North" and "The Long Season". Best TV series may win, but other awards are hard to say.
In fact, the entry rules for the Magnolia Awards should also be reorganized. We should strictly distinguish which roles are nominated for Best Actor and which roles are nominated for Best Supporting Actor, because there are all shortlisted projects, and it is easy for the crew to make mistakes in reporting. It is recommended that Ichiban actors should be nominated for Best Actor and Actor, and other supporting actors should be nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actor. When the shortlist was released this time, it was not only Wang Yibo fans who had doubts, but also many other drama fans. Of course, Mr. You Benchang was too old and took the initiative to contact the crew to give up the nomination for Best Supporting Actor and give the opportunity to young people. This kind of high-spirited and upright character is also rare.
There are actually problems with the award setting, and there have been a lot of controversies before, but no fans have broken the window. As one of the three major TV awards in the mainland, the Magnolia Award should give everyone a fully reasonable and scientific explanation.
The judges will definitely make fair and impartial selections. It is impossible for fans’ online violence to interfere with professional judgment, right?
