On the evening of June 28, 2024, the 29th Magnolia Awards came to an end in Shanghai. Hu Ge and Zhou Xun won the honorary title of Best Actor and Actress respectively.
"The Wind Chaser", which previously won 5 nominations for Best Actor, Best Director Award, Best Chinese TV Series, Best Cinematography, and Best Art, was in vain.
"Flowers" starring Hu Ge became the biggest winner, winning Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Chinese TV Series, Best Screenplay, and Best Art.
Because of who the male protagonist nominated for the Magnolia Award is, "The Wind Chaser", which has been fighting on the Internet for more than half a month, has become a companion, and the crew has no money to help Magnolia promote for half a month.
Although "The Wind Chaser" became a joke after the award was announced, there was no problem with the script.
It can even be said that aside from this farce, "The Wind Chaser" is a very wonderful drama, the content is compact and engaging, and the acting skills of the actors are also remarkable.
As netizens commented, "If it weren't for this nomination farce, maybe "The Wind Chaser" would not have fallen into this situation."
When the Magnolia Award announced the nominations, "The Wind Chaser" fell into the controversy over the choice of the male protagonist, and the popularity did not go away for a while.
The focus of attention of fans is who is eligible to nominate the actor Wang Yibo or Wang Yang, and whether the actor can only be selected by the leading actor?
Wang Yang and Wang Yibo's fans started a fierce argument, and in the end, they didn't come up with a reason.
Although the crew and producer came forward to explain the reason, and also explained that Wang Yibo and Wang Yang were reported when they declared, the result of double insurance was that only Wang Yang was nominated for nomination.
should have focused on the key publicity of Magnolia's nomination, but unfortunately "The Wind Chaser", whether it is the crew, the director, or the two controversial actors, posted on social platforms from beginning to end to express their views on the controversy over the candidates.
Correspondingly, it was also "snubbed" by Magnolia, and after Wang Yang was nominated, Magnolia's official blog did not have any relevant statements, let alone congratulations.
From this point of view, the crew of "Wind Chaser" estimated that they were also overwhelmed by public opinion at that time and neglected the official statement they should have.
This farce started from the beginning when fans reasoned and put evidence to prove that Shen Tunan played by Wang Yang was not the leading actor, and later many people turned to attack the Magnolia Award Judging Mechanism as a problem, and Wang Yang should not be declared through the "Wind Chaser" drama party.
Magnolia Award for Innocent Lying Gun, as an authoritative TV drama award in the mainland, Magnolia held the 28th He Zeng. How can you have a good impression of "The Wind Chaser"?
Besides, if the fans make such a fuss, how can the Magnolia Award jury award "The Wind Chaser"?
If Wang Yang wins the Best Actor, it will not cause another storm, and if "The Wind Chaser" wins other awards, it will definitely return to the proposition of the leading actor.
No matter how the Magnolia Award is done, it will be complained by fans again, so it is better to simply let "The Wind Chaser" go through the motions, so that everyone's work can be carried out easily, and it will also leave a good reputation for the Magnolia Award.
may know that there is no hope of winning the award, only Wang Yang and several representatives of the platform attended the award ceremony that night, and the director, screenwriter and other leading actors of "Wind Chaser" were absent.
Wang Yang was dressed up in a black suit, which shows the importance he attaches to this award ceremony.
What is embarrassing is that after the group walked on the red carpet, the organizer's introduction to this drama is the story of a patriotic young man growing up in the financial circle of old Shanghai, awakening to finally joining our party. "A patriotic young man", this is completely a description of the role of Wei Ruolai played by Wang Yibo in the play.
What is rare is that Wang Yang turned a deaf ear and walked the red carpet with a smile on his face. Whether he is the male number one or the male number two, such an aura and psychological quality are the qualities that an actor should have.
For actors, the fan position only represents the weight in the plot, but it does not represent the weight in the hearts of the audience. A really powerful actor is one who can play a small supporting role that is unforgettable for the audience and becomes a classic role in the series.
No matter who wins the Magnolia Award for Best Actor, I hope that fans of the drama will look in the direction of "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending", and how to believe in the audience's own judgment standards for acting skills.
