In the newly announced list of nominees for the Hundred Flowers Award, a familiar and slightly abrupt name is on the list - Andy Lau, who was nominated for Best Actor for the sci-fi masterpiece "The Wandering Earth 2". This should be an affirmation of the senior acting school, but it is particularly eye-catching because there are many traffic stars in the nomination list, which makes people ask: Is Andy Lau's acting skills really regressing? Or is the acting skills of traffic stars quietly improving? The nomination for the Hundred Flowers Award seems to have inadvertently become a humorous and meaningful "play within a play".
Andy Lau, a name that stands tall in the Chinese film industry, his figure runs through the memories of several generations, and every appearance is almost linked to "quality assurance". In "The Wandering Earth 2", with his solid acting skills and deep understanding of the role, he once again proved that he is not old. And he appeared on the nomination list with many traffic stars who are known for their high popularity and topicality, and their existence makes this list look more like a collision of eras, a contest between tradition and modernity, strength and traffic.
For Andy Lau's fans and many fans, such a nomination seems somewhat unfair. People are worried about whether Andy Lau, an evergreen in the entertainment industry, has the intention of being used to "lift coffee" and create topics behind his nomination. In today's traffic, the real acting school seems to have become a scarce resource, whether Andy Lau's nomination has become a means to attract attention and stimulate public opinion, people have to feel sorry for this artist who has always spoken with his works, and seems to be involved in a game that does not belong to him.
As an important award in the Chinese film industry, the list of nominees for the Hundred Flowers Award should have been a serious judgment on the achievements of film art in the past year. However, when Andy Lau's name is juxtaposed with a group of traffic stars, this nomination seems to have more black humor. It not only reflects the current situation of the entertainment industry, but also prompts people to reflect: how should we weigh the balance of traffic and strength? Should the selection of awards pay more attention to the acting skills of the actors and the artistic value of the works, rather than relying solely on popularity and topics?
