It is also the moment when TVB's annual awards ceremony has become the focus - the nomination list of the 2021 "Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony" has been announced, and everyone should discuss and pay attention to the candidate lists of "Emperor" and "Queen", and rarely pay attention to the lists of best supporting actors and actresses. On the contrary, this year's "Best Supporting Actress" nomination list is still quite promising, of which the 43-year-old Yao Jiani was nominated for this award for "The Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October", which should be a great affirmation and encouragement for her. In fact, after the broadcast of this drama, Yao Jiani's performance still received a lot of praise, so she deserved to be nominated.
Of course, some people must be curious, "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" has just begun to air, and Yao Jiani has actually been nominated for "Best Supporting Actress", is it too early? According to TVB's nomination convention, as long as eligible artists can be nominated, Yao Jiani's positioning in "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" is a supporting actress, which is no problem. And Yao Jiani's nomination also shows that TVB is optimistic about her performance, thinking that she has the strength and conditions to compete for this award, and even reach the top five, of course, this also depends on the fermentation effect of the follow-up of the series.
First of all, let's talk about the drama "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October", which is a remake, about 21 years ago, TVB filmed a work of the same name (also known as "Macau Street"), and the main actors at that time were She Shiman, Zhang Zhilin, Ma Junwei, Xue Jiayan and so on. The first version of "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" is regarded as a classic in the TVB classic, which is simply acclaimed, especially in terms of ratings, with an average of 36 points, the highest rating of 46 points, refreshing multiple records, and then sweeping a number of awards at the award ceremony, which has so far had word of mouth. TVB remade this drama 21 years later, the significance is unknown, although in the script, the character relationship setting has been adjusted, but the outline structure has not changed, and also boldly used as a Taiwanese drama, obviously want to rely on gimmicks to heat up this drama.
TVB remade this classic, under a lot of pressure, after all, Zhu Yu is in front, it is easy to be compared, it is easy to be spat on, so for the actors to bear a lot of pressure, Yao Jiani is the same. In the old version of "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October", from the main actor to the supporting role, no actor's performance dropped the chain, which made it a classic. And the role played by Yao Jiani is the villain Wan Zhu Shahua, the first version of this role is performed by the veteran artist Chen Manna - Chen Manna's performance was unanimously praised, spicy enough, domineering enough, reasoning, scolding people is the tao, highly acclaimed, Yao Jiani took over this role how can there be no pressure, this is a big challenge for her.
I believe that friends who watch Hong Kong dramas will not be unfamiliar with Yao Jiani, she has been in TVB for 20 years, and has starred in countless dramas, mostly supporting actresses. However, Yao Jiani actually came from ATV, in 1998 participated in the election of YaJie signed an ATV contract, probably stayed in ATV for two or three years to jump to TVB, although so many years are still supporting roles, there is no special masterpiece, but the acting skills are definitely more and more superb. In 2018, she once won a lot of praise with "BB is coming", which can be regarded as a masterpiece in recent years, but unfortunately she did not take advantage of the chase, and now she maintains one or two works per year in TVB, not seeking more, expensive, probably like this.
Many people think that Yao Jiani is not worth it, thinking that she is beautiful and has excellent acting skills, but she is not praised by TVB. However, Yao Jiani really does not have much interest in the big red, she once publicly said that she does not want to be popular, does not want to become popular, because she does not like to be overly concerned, so that she loses her freedom. In fact, TVB is not not to praise her, but she did not pay too much attention to her career after joining TVB, when she joined TVB from the bottom, it was not easy to get out of the head, she went to get married again, after marriage and had children, the years were so consumed, and even the postpartum comeback was not known, resulting in a period of time no one looking for her to shoot, fortunately, she did not matter, the attitude was casual.
Of course, as an actor, no matter how casual, I still hope that my performance will be recognized, it doesn't matter if I get an award or not, there is praise is encouragement. This time Yao Jiani challenged the role of Wan Zhu Shahua, when she decided to take over the film, she was ready to be scolded, and she did not shy away from saying that she was under a lot of pressure, did not expect to surpass her predecessors, and only hoped that the audience could accept her performance. Although Zhu Yu is in front, but Yao Jiani has also tried her best, she has added a lot of her own personality on the basis of retaining the original role, and before the start of filming, in order to say this classic line "I Wan Zhu Shahua is the most reasonable", she practiced at home more than a hundred times, very hard.
Now the new version of "The Moonlight of the Fifth Day of October" has been broadcast, Yao Jiani's performance has attracted much attention, objectively speaking, although her performance is not as spicy as Chen Manna, but it is also full of momentum, acting skills are quite strong, and the old drama bone Michelle does not lose each other at all, but also can be regarded as performing her own style and taste, which has won the appreciation of many audiences, which finally makes Yao Jiani breathe a sigh of relief. And if the follow-up performances continue to receive praise, I believe that this pair of Yao Jiani's competition for the "Best Supporting Actress" award can add more weight, and it is expected to reach the top five and become a big hit.
