On the evening of August 4th, the 37th Hundred Flowers Film Award Ceremony was held. " Volunteer Army: Heroes Attack " won the best film, " Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles " won the outstanding film, and Zhang Yimou won the award for " Article 20" "" won the best director, and Zhu Yilong and Ma Li won the best actor and actress respectively.
Li Xuejian in "Fengshen Part 11" and Zhao Liying in "Article 20" won the Best Supporting Actor and Actor respectively, and Yu Shi won the Best Newcomer Award for "Fengshen Part 1". The
award ceremony was just a process, and there was not much room for discussion. On the contrary, the nominations and award attribution were intriguing.
Let’s talk about the Best Picture Award first. There are as many as 15 candidate works. "120,000 Miles Home ", "30,000 Miles from Chang'an", "Volunteers: Heroes Attack", "Fengshen Part 1" and "Article 20" were nominated.
It was completely expected that the final award would be awarded to "Volunteers: Heroes Attack". After all, this is the only movie with a war theme among the nominated works, and the probability of winning is very high. You must know that although the Hundred Flowers Award has always been called the People's Award, it was originally based on the magazine "Popular Cinema". The main reference for each selection is the audience who purchased the magazine. The voting pages were filled out and sent to the magazine to count the votes. But if it were really a public vote, everyone would have an idea of whether "Volunteers: Attack" can win the best picture! Don’t forget that behind the awards are the China Film Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Let’s talk about Best Actor. There were 12 people on the initial candidate list. Andy Lau and Wu Jing from " The Wandering Earth 2" were on the candidate list at the same time, but the organizer chose one of the two nominees and nominated Andy. Other nominated actors include Wang Junkai, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Yixing and Yi Yangqianxi.
To be fair, for awards like Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao, being nominated is already a victory. However, the Hundred Flowers Award wanted to highlight its characteristics as a crowd award and show the votes on the big screen. So there was an embarrassing scene. Zhu Yilong’s 30 votes and Andy Lau’s 21 votes were not too big of a difference. Andy Lau would not lose face even if he didn’t win the award, but the other three actors were in a worse situation. Zhang Yixing in " desperate " only had 9 votes, while Wang Junkai in "Ten Thousand Miles Home" only got 3 votes, and Yi Yang Qianxi in "Manjianghong" only got 2 votes. There is no problem with voting results like
. Purely from the perspective of character creation and performance quality, Zhu Yilong deserves the award. In " Life Events ", he performed an extremely complex life situation, and at the same time, he also interpreted family and friendship extremely profoundly. However, Wang Junkai's performance in "The Journey Home" was completely crushed by Zhang Yi, so this nomination is very problematic. Although Yi Yang Qianxi is a good actor with acting skills, the role in "Man Jiang Hong" is relatively symbolic, and his performance is also It is relatively simple, without many ups and downs and performance highlights, so it makes sense that it would not win the award. It’s just that 2 votes is a bit embarrassing.
Let’s look at the best actress. Five actors, Ma Li, Wang Zhi, Jia Ling, Ni Ni, and Yin Tao, were selected. In fact, this award is basically a showdown between Ma Li and Jia Ling. Wang Zhi and Ni Ni performed generally, and they did not have many scenes in "The Journey Home". Yin Tao is more like a companion.
In the end, the Best Actress was awarded to Ma Li, and the votes received by the five actors were even more dramatic. Ma Li took the lead with 48 votes, Yin Tao ranked second with 26 votes, and Wang Zhi from "The Wandering Earth 2" only received 4 votes.
The expected inextricable situation of competition between Ma Li and Jia Ling did not appear. Jia Ling only had 16 votes, only one-third of Ma Li's votes.
Voting is the audience's choice, so the number of votes for the Hundred Flowers Award is basically equivalent to the audience's attitude. Whether it was the box office, the influence of the movie, or Jia Ling losing 100 pounds for the role, it was continuously discussed during the release of the movie. It is also the most successful movie in the past two years. So why did Jia Ling lose to Ma Li?
The public's eyes are sharp, Ma Li's acting skills are several levels higher than Jia Ling's.
In terms of character creation, Ma Li, who plays the mother in "Article 20", is quite real, vivid, and very down-to-earth. She accurately interprets the role while hiding her own performance traces.This is really incomparable to Jia Ling in " Hot Hot ". In the first half, she only relied on lowering her head and keeping a serious smile to show the character's depression and inferiority. In the second half, she used a single fitness to lose weight to express the character's struggle. and effort.
In addition, Ma Li outputs lines like a machine gun in "Article 20", and her quarreling scene with Lei Jiayin is almost the biggest highlight of the whole film. It is really too strong. Jia Ling in "Hot and Spicy" performed mediocrely in this aspect, and her acting skills have not improved much.
It can be said that this time the voting results and award attribution of the Hundred Flowers Awards have once again removed the acting filter of Jia Ling who lost 100 pounds, allowing the audience to reflect again, is her performance in "Hot and Spicy" really good? ? At the same time, there are also elements that have been counterattacked by marketing.
From a humanistic perspective, Ma Li is here, while Jia Ling may still be watching the Olympics in France. No one is coming, and the organizers naturally don’t want to award the award to you.
