Once the nomination list of the Hundred Flowers Award was announced, it became a hot topic among netizens. However, although the Hundred Flowers Award that the audience was looking forward to ended successfully, this year's Hundred Flowers Award has still become the target of entertainment. , from the nomination list to the selection process and the final winner, there is a certain degree of controversy.
Zhu Yilong once again won the Best Actor, and "Big Events in Life" became the winner.
From the perspective of masterpieces, the movie "Big Events in Life" is indeed a hit that surprised the audience. The character Mo Sanmei portrayed by Zhu Yilong in the movie also really performed well. Excellent and outstanding achievements.
But whether Zhu Yilong’s acting skills are enough to be considered the Best Actor, I can only say that the distribution of voting results will tell the story.
There were a total of 101 viewers present, and there were no abandoned votes in the total votes for other awards. However, the final distribution of votes for Best Actor was as high as 36 abandoned votes, and the cumulative number of male lead votes was only 30.
This is enough to show that both the judges and the judges are quite dissatisfied with the candidates this time. It's not that Zhu Yilong is not good enough, it's that he was obviously a better choice, but he didn't appear in the nominations.
Moreover, he was nominated for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards and has been criticized. The big names who have really produced works are either not mentioned or have slipped up. The most important ones are Wu Jing, Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yi, and Lei Jiayin, who are the big names who can compete for the Best Actor in the audience's hearts.
Let’s look at the male protagonists Wang Junkai, Zhang Yixing, and Yi Yangqianxi this time except Zhu Yilong. The three are all popular idols. They have actual achievements but their acting skills and box office appeal are not stable enough. As for Andy Lau, it can be said that he is a Hong Kong and Macao special. Yes, his acting skills are on point, but he is not the leading actor in "The Wandering Earth 2". Wu Jing, who really took over the box office and the movie, was not nominated at all.
To put it bluntly, the Best Actor award this time is basically the same as a recommendation. However, 36 judges chose to abstain, which shows that there are still real "warriors" in domestic entertainment.
There was a lot of trouble on the actor's side, but on the actress's side, netizens' doubts were significantly reduced.
Actor Ma Li won the title of Best Actress for her wonderful performance in "Article 20". This result is generally recognized by the audience. On the one hand, Ma Lilu is indeed very popular, and on the other hand, Ma Li's acting skills in "Article 20" are indeed attractive.
She won the Best Actress with an overwhelming advantage of 48 votes, followed by Yin Tao, whose votes were also not low, but her role in "Ten Thousand Miles Home" was at most a special appearance, and her acting skills and role were wide. The shaping weight is not enough to win the award.
What really surprised the audience was Jia Ling’s embarrassment. From "Hello, Li Huanying" to "Hot and Spicy", Jia Ling's rise in the female film market is fierce.
As a director, her commercial value has skyrocketed. As an actor, Jia Ling's performance is natural and delicate. Even in "Hot and Spicy", her dedication and character presence are better than those of Ma in "Article 20". Li is bigger.
But I never expected that Jia Ling only had 16 votes, and her score was completely crushed by Yin Tao.
The key is that Jia Ling not only missed the Best Actress Award, but also missed the Best Director Award.
This year's best director went to Zhang Yimou of "Article 20". In terms of artistic aesthetics and the performance of his works, Zhang Yimou is definitely a mountain that Jia Ling cannot climb.
But having said that, female directors are indeed worthy of encouragement. It is somewhat regrettable that Jia Ling’s growth over the years has not been recognized by awards.
I can only say that the time has not come yet, but let’s look forward to Jia Ling’s next directorial work.
Also highly controversial is the result of Best Supporting Actor. Actor Li Xuejian won the Best Supporting Actor for his performance in "Fengshen Part 1: Chaoge Fengyun".
I dare say that no one will disagree with this result. After all, Teacher Li Xuejian’s acting skills are indeed strong. Looking back now, the clips in the movie will still be impressed by Teacher Li Xuejian’s strength.
But this voting result once again shows how unreasonable this year's Hundred Flowers Award shortlist is. Li Xuejian alone crushed the others with an overwhelming 76 votes, while the combined box office of Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen, Fan Chengcheng and Wei Daxun barely reached one-third of Li Xuejian's votes.
As a prestigious film award, the distribution of tickets for Best Supporting Actor shows that the competition for Best Supporting Actor is not fierce at all.
Among them, Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen's presence in the movie is comparable to that of friendly actors. Fan Chengcheng and Wei Daxun, even if they are young actors who can produce blockbusters, their performance in the movie cannot even reach the strength of the TV series.
There have been so many high-quality movies in the past year, but the actors nominated are basically picked from the remaining ones after picking out the truly outstanding actors.
What about Sha Yi in "The Wandering Earth 2"? What about Wang Chuanjun in "All or Nothing"? Where are all these really big supporting characters?
Even if Li Xuejian's acting skills have been recognized by everyone, the gold content of this year's Best Supporting Actor is really too low. Even Li Xuejian's grade has been lowered by such a competitive situation.
To put it bluntly, the most important actor in the Hundred Flowers Awards, the supporting actor, did not meet the audience’s expectations. On the contrary, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and even the Best Newcomer Award are all competing fiercely.
In the competition for Best Supporting Actress, Zhao Liying and Gao Ye were just two votes short. Both of them were eye-catching supporting roles in "Article 20" and also conquered the audience through their outstanding portrayals.
1 vs. 39, this should be a prestigious film award. The competition that should occur requires acting skills, role blessing, and a bit of luck. To make the audience feel that "the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all flesh", only then can it show the strength of the actors. The competition between them is valuable.
Similarly, for the Best Newcomer award, Yu Shi got 50 votes, and young actor Yang En got another 45 votes. In fact, to put it bluntly, the two actors can be said to be in completely different tracks, but this narrow box office gap , also shows that the film organizers have selected actors recognized by the public since the nomination.
Except for some actors, this year's Hundred Flowers Awards really do not deserve the recognition of "nomination means affirmation". After all, most of the awards have revealed a perfunctory feel from the beginning of the nomination.
This year is really a cold winter for domestic entertainment in film and television. There are no good roles, so forget about good actors. However, Shen Teng, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi, Wang Baoqiang, and Wu Jing all produced works worthy of recognition.
But the Hundred Flowers Award just doesn't put these actors in the track where they should compete. Now the Hundred Flowers Award is being criticized as "definitely" and "watered down", which is all right.
Finally, what are your thoughts on this year’s Hundred Flowers Award nominations and final winners? Participate in the discussion in the comment area, ignore the interference of the Hundred Flowers Award, and nominate the actors who you think should win the award in the film works of the past year.
