Golden Rooster Awards This night was full of highlights, from the actors' red carpet looks to the final results of the awards, which triggered a lot of discussion.

Actress Li Gengxi won the award, but the audience was not convinced. After the results came out, many viewers felt that Ma Li was not worth it. As a young post-2000s movie queen, Li Gengxi is actually not up to the highest honor of an actress like a movie queen, whether in terms of acting skills or actual performance.

Except for Li Gengxi, the results of winning other awards are only regrettable and not controversial. Lei Jiayin won the Best Actor in one fell swoop, but in fact, Shen Teng, who was absent this time, was the one that everyone expected. Generally speaking, absence from such authoritative awards means abstention by default. Shen Teng got the nomination. Regardless of whether he won the award or not, his acting skills and box office appeal It's all real.

And Lei Jiayin 's portrayal in "Article 20" is wonderful and delicate, with a full sense of contrast. The role of Han Ming can be regarded as a role where Lei Jiayin officially established a foothold in the film industry.

Supporting Actor Wang Xiao won the Best Supporting Actor. Wang Xiao has appeared in more TV series before. Although most of them were supporting roles, his acting skills have also been recognized by the market. Unexpectedly, when it comes to the film field, Wang Xiao still performs well. The movie "Three Brigades" showed his outstanding acting skills. Perhaps in the future, the audience will be able to see more and more exciting role creations by Wang Xiao in the film market. .

In addition, there are two most topical people at this film festival, one is Zhang Yimou , and the other is Chen Kaige . Chen Kaige won the best director for "Volunteer Army", while Zhang Yimou's film "Article 20" also won the best feature film award.

But judging from the movie’s reputation, quality, and box office performance, “Article 20” was a complete winner, and “Volunteer Army” won at most because of its subject matter.

Moreover, the high profile of Chen Kaige’s award this time has also aroused doubts among many netizens. In the auditorium, Chen Kaige, Andy Lau, , Zhang Yimou and others were sitting in the first row. Andy Lau happened to sit next to Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou. Some small interactions between the three people also became particularly obvious under the magnifying glass. .

When the camera scanned the three of them, Zhang Yimou's posture was normal and his smile never dropped. Although Andy Lau was wearing a mask, his posture was humble. Only Chen Kaige kept a straight face and showed no expression when applauding.

When it came time to receive the award, Chen Kaige was also quite arrogant. He stood up and was about to shake hands with Andy Lau. Andy Lau humbly gave in and allowed Chen Kaige to pass over him and interact with Zhang Yimou first. Chen Kaige stretched out a hand, but Zhang Yimou bowed slightly and lowered his hand. People gesture body language shaking hands with Chen Kaige.

During this process, Chen Kaige was expressionless, but Zhang Yimou had a friendly smile.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Kaige interacted with Andy Lau. Andy Lau, who was wearing a mask, held Chen Kaige's hands tightly with both hands. His posture was more humble than Zhang Yimou, and his sincere eyes were always looking directly into Chen Kaige's eyes.

But during this process, Chen Kaige didn't look at Andy Lau at all. He glanced at it casually, maybe unintentionally, but in the eyes of the audience, it looked like contemptuous disregard.

In response to this, many netizens expressed their grievances for Andy Lau, saying bluntly, "Chen Kaige feels like the world belongs to him now" and "Chen Kaige is so good at pretending that Andy didn't even respond to Chen's greetings. He is so unqualified. He is still a great director. He doesn’t deserve the respect”.

In fact, this is not the first time that Chen Kaige has been criticized for his social performance. Previously Zhang Songwen shook hands with Chen Kaige. Zhang Songwen also held Chen Kaige's left hand with both hands, with a humble face and a friendly smile, but Chen Kaige shook hands with his left hand and inserted his right hand. Not only did Kabuto not even look at Zhang Songwen, he was also facing in other directions without even turning his head.

As a famous fifth-generation director, Chen Kaige does have a very strong voice in domestic entertainment. He has a high position and seniority. Even if he is a top-notch director in domestic entertainment, you must treat him with respect when you meet him, but he is also a fifth-generation director. Famous director Zhang Yimou has performed better than Chen Kaige in the past two years. Isn't he still very approachable?

Looking back at Andy Lau at the Golden Rooster Awards, he not only kept a low profile in front of everyone, but also showed a humble and polite appearance to the camera and the audience.

Before taking the stage, Andy Lau took off his mask and bowed to the audience. Then he nodded with Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou. The fact that he did not straighten his back during the whole process is enough to show how sincere and respectful Andy Lau is.

The key is that Andy Lau’s position as a celebrity in domestic entertainment cannot be underestimated. As a veteran Hong Kong star, Andy Lau has performed very well in the past. In recent years, he has returned to domestic entertainment and appeared in major movies. His acting skills have won the support of the audience.

Except for a few directors, all those present here had to call out "Teacher Andy" when they saw Andy Lau. Andy Lau, who has reached this level of celebrity, is still humble, but Chen Kaige's arrogance and rudeness are even more abrupt.

Of course, everyone who knows Chen Kaige knows that his personality is relatively restrained and rigid. It can also be seen from his family environment that he is a serious person and has many rules in the family. While he is the head of the family, he also restricts Chen Feiyu to eating. They don’t dare to serve it easily.

From this point we can see that Chen Kaige’s high profile is not only in domestic entertainment, but also in the family. This oppressive high profile can highlight his status as a big shot. It does not matter in domestic entertainment and socializing, but For the audience, film and television workers essentially serve the public. Such arrogance is destined to cause some controversy and doubts.

At this age, Chen Kaige probably can’t change even if he wants to, but I have to say that as a fifth-generation director, Chen Kaige is indeed outstanding. Apart from him, there are very few directors who can manage a lineup like "Volunteer Army" , it’s no wonder that Chen Feiyu has also followed Chen Kaige to rise in the domestic entertainment industry, from being unknown to having a huge reputation. Now he can still get various big projects and partner with all kinds of top stars.

Resources and arrogance are controversial, but they are not enough to decide anything. On the contrary, only with sufficient strength can these resources and arrogance stand firm. I only hope that Chen Kaige's subsequent film and television dramas can also conquer the market and the audience. In this way Under the premise, no matter how arrogant he is, the audience will be convinced.

As for the "Volunteer Army" series, it has a certain reputation and box office performance, but it is still not enough to make the audience 100% tolerant. The third film that is about to meet the audience is the final film in this series. There is a clear gap between the film and the similar theme "Changjin Lake". Even if it won the Golden Rooster Award, it would not have enough gold content.
