The list of nominees for the 37th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award just announced has aroused heated discussions among many netizens, especially the best actor column has become the focus of everyone's complaints. As soon as the names of Wang Junkai, Yi Yang Qianxi, Zhang Yixing, Zhu Yilong, and Andy Lau came out, they immediately set off waves on the Internet, and everyone sprayed in the comment area. Some people feel that some actors in the nomination list seem out of place, especially when Andy Lau's name is taken out to talk about things, thinking that the gap between him and the other four young actors is a bit obvious.
So, is the nomination for Best Actor really so "watery"? Let's analyze the performances of these five actors and their film works one by one to see if these complaints are plausible.
The first is Wang Junkai, who was nominated for his role as Cheng Lang in "Ten Thousand Miles Home". As one of the members of TFBOYS, Wang Junkai has gradually expanded into the field of actors in recent years. In "Ten Thousand Miles Home", he played a young soldier who participated in an international rescue mission, although his performance in the film was affirmed, but overall, the box office and word-of-mouth of the film did not have a particularly outstanding performance. This also made some netizens question Wang Junkai's nomination, thinking that his precipitation in acting skills is not deep enough.
Next is Yi Yang Qianxi, who is also a member of TFBOYS, unlike Wang Junkai, Yi Yang Qianxi's Sun Jun played in "Man Jianghong" has received a lot of praise. The film also performed well at the box office, and Yi Yang Qianxi's acting skills are considered to have improved, especially in terms of delicate emotional expression. However, some people still feel that he was nominated for Best Actor because of "traffic" rather than pure acting.
Zhang Yixing was nominated for Pan Sheng in "All or Nothing". As an artist, Zhang Yixing's music and film and television works are constantly expanding. In this movie, his character image is complex, and his acting skills have also been recognized to a certain extent. However, there are still voices that Zhang Yixing's acting skills have not yet reached the height of the best actor, especially in comparison with some senior actors, he seems a little immature.
Zhu Yilong's performance in "Life Events" is one of the more recognized in this nomination. Zhu Yilong has won the love of many audiences with his delicate acting skills and solid performance foundation. "Life Events" itself is an emotionally profound film, and Zhu Yilong's role in the film has also received a lot of praise. However, some people still think that despite his good performance in this film, there is still some "water" in the face of other nominees.
In the end, the nomination of Andy Lau, a veteran actor, caused the most heated controversy. Andy Lau was nominated for Tu Hengyu in "The Wandering Earth 2". As a legend in the Chinese film industry, Andy Lau's acting skills are beyond doubt. However, the controversy over this nomination mainly focuses on the fact that he looks a little "old" compared to the other four young actors. Some netizens jokingly said: "Do you want to make a comparison between the old drama bones and the new traffic?" ”
From the old drama bones to the traffic niches: all kinds of complaints from netizens
As soon as the nomination for the Hundred Flowers Award came out, netizens began to complain, and different voices came from all corners. Some netizens joked in the comments: "Compared with Andy Lau, these little fresh meat is like a duel with a toy gun and a soldier with a real gun." Other netizens believe that although Andy Lau's acting skills are superb, this nomination is indeed a bit "wasted". They believe that big actors like Andy Lau should be given more challenging roles, rather than competing with some young actors in such nominations.
Some netizens believe that this kind of controversy itself is actually a feature of the Hundred Flowers Award: "The Hundred Flowers Award is engaged in this kind of 'topical' nomination every year, and the same is true of the previous Huayi back garden." Now they're just changing their tricks. From this point of view, controversy seems to have become the norm, and the nomination itself may be more about attracting the audience's attention than a simple acting competition.
Moreover, what the criteria for nomination are has also become a topic of discussion among netizens. Some people question whether the judging criteria for the Hundred Flowers Awards are more inclined to the box office and star effect, rather than the real consideration of the actors' acting skills. After all, the addition of traffic stars has made the nomination list more diverse, but whether it truly reflects the performance strength of the actors is still a question worth pondering.
Success or failure is due to market demand
In this debate about the nomination of the Hundred Flowers Award, market demand is undoubtedly an important factor. Changes in the film and television industry are often driven by market demand, and the Hundred Flowers Award, as an influential award, is inevitably affected by market factors. The traffic of stars, the box office of movies, etc., are all part of the judging process.
Some netizens mentioned: "The selection of awards is like a large-scale marketing campaign, and the competition of actors is not only a competition for acting skills, but also a response to market demand." From this point of view, Andy Lau's nomination may not only be because of his personal acting skills, but also because of his status in the film and television market and his influence on the box office.
In addition, as an award with a long history, the selection criteria and direction of the Hundred Flowers Award are constantly changing. Different from some professional awards, the Hundred Flowers Award pays more attention to the feedback of the audience and the reaction of the market, which also makes the nomination and award results often controversial.
The best actor in the audience's mind
The controversy over Best Actor comes down to the fact that everyone has a standard of "Best Actor" in their hearts. For some viewers, they may feel that Andy Lau's nomination is inappropriate, while for others, Andy Lau is still the actor who can hold up a movie.
Some netizens said: "The best actor in everyone's mind is different, some people may value acting skills more, and some people value the influence of actors." This diverse evaluation criteria also reflect the different needs of the audience for film and television works.
In fact, the selection results of the Hundred Flowers Award are not only a reflection of the actor's personal ability, but also include multiple factors of the market, the audience and the industry. Therefore, the discussion of the list of nominees also reflects everyone's expectations for this award and their attention to the film and television industry.
The truth of the award in the controversy: the game of traffic and strength
Behind these controversies is actually a game of traffic and power. The nomination and selection of the Hundred Flowers Award is not only an evaluation of the individual actors, but also a reflection of the entire market environment. The addition of traffic stars is undoubtedly a new change in the film and television market, and this change has also brought new discussions and challenges.
Some netizens quipped: "This year's Best Actor nomination is like a reality show of 'traffic stars against old drama bones', who can win this showdown is really a big test." This kind of ridicule reflects the audience's interest in this kind of competition for awards, and also reveals the complex relationship between traffic and power.
In this context, the nomination and results of the Hundred Flowers Award have also become a multi-level and multi-angle discussion topic. Regardless of the outcome, this debate over Best Actor will continue to be the focus of discussion among audiences.
Best Actor in a Controversy: What do you think?
