Under the bright magnesium lights, the night sky of Shanghai is lit up by the annual Magnolia Award ceremony, a night of star-studded and heroic, each award announcement is accompanied by applause, amazement and controversy, weaving a mixed dramatic picture.
This year's Magnolia Award is not only a centralized review of the achievements of the TV drama industry in the past year, but also a feast of fierce collision between public emotion and artistic judgment, especially in the battle for Best Actor, the dramatic reversal and public reaction made this award ceremony a veritable "drama night".
When the Best Actor award finally fell to someone else, Wang Yang's name quickly became the focus of attention on social media. The disappointment and dissatisfaction of some viewers turned into sharp criticism of Wang Yang, and even some extreme remarks labeled him as unfair.
This seemingly radical reaction is actually the audience's deep regret that their favorite actors have not been recognized, as well as doubts and challenges to the judging criteria. However, the evaluation of art is subjective and multi-dimensional, and Wang Yang's performance in the play, although he was not crowned by Magnolia, has planted an indelible mark in the hearts of many audiences, and his acting skills and efforts cannot be easily denied.
Hu Ge, the actor who won the Emperor of Vision again with his delicate and profound performance in "Flowers", stood on the podium and was radiant. However, Hu Ge's moment of glory also reflects the regret of another powerful actor, Fan Wei. On the Internet, many viewers expressed sympathy for Fan Wei's failure to win the crown with his superb acting skills in "The Long Season", and even jokingly mentioned "still not handsome enough" to express their doubts about the award criteria. Although this comment is a bit of a joke, it also reveals the audience's desire for diversity and inclusiveness in artistic judgment, as well as a deep respect for Fan Wei, a powerful actor.
In the competition for Best Actress, Tang Yan's name failed to ring in the list of winners, which undoubtedly made her fans regret. And when Zhou Xun (Zhou Gongzi) was sealed again with his outstanding performance in the play, the audience's reactions were polarized, both surprise and admiration for Zhou Xun's award, and regret for Tang Yan missing the award.
Zhou Xun's award has been described as "too unexpected", not only because her award was unexpected by some, but also because it reflects the possibility of constantly breaking through and creating surprises in the field of art.
In contrast, the attribution of Best Supporting Actor seems to have been recognized and praised by more people. Ning Li won the award without suspense for his outstanding performance in "Under the Journey", and his tears flashed at the scene, this honor is not only a recognition of his personal career, but also an affirmation of his profound role in the play. The audience was sincerely happy for Ning Li's award, and his tears, as if gathering the resonance and emotion of countless audiences, became the warmest scene of the night.
The Magnolia Awards night is not only a star-studded visual feast, but also an in-depth discussion about art, values and emotions. The awarding of each award is accompanied by the public's expectations and feedback, which is not only an evaluation of the actors, but also a reflection and guidance on the development direction of the entire TV drama industry.
On this night of drama, we saw the cruelty of competition, but also felt warmth and encouragement. The judgment of art may never satisfy everyone, but it is these controversies and discussions that promote the progress and development of the entire industry. Let's look forward to the emergence of more excellent works and actors in the TV drama industry in the coming years, making the stage of art more colorful.
