Hong Kong Film: The suspense of the Academy Awards, is it the turn of Wu Zhenyu?

"Preach in the text." --Tang Tears"

The 40th Academy Awards has been postponed several times.

It has been postponed from 2020 to this year, and from April to June.

However, it has not waited for the release of commercial and literary compatible large-scale films.

The shortlist for film emperors has been determined, just waiting for the right time to be revealed.

Rising star Lin Jiadong was strongly shortlisted for two works, "Hand Rolled Cigarette" and "Wisdom Teeth".

Xie Xian, who came back in his eighties to shoot "Kill a Dusk", occupied a seat.

Liang Zhongheng in "Mama's Magic Boy" was shortlisted for the first time.

Also included is Wu Zhenyu, who has "Turbid Water Rafting".

And in view of the concept of the 40th Academy Awards such a "big year".

The organizers still hope to be able to reveal it on the spot.

At least it can be a little more grand.

Awards this question.

In fact, it roughly follows the principle of the strongest in the same file.

But sometimes, it may be wrapped up in the general trend of commerce, or have the purpose of creating stars.

Or under the rules of the Academy Awards, we must also consider the relevance of the network in the circle and so on.

Therefore, some of the results feel unfair, or even difficult to reconcile.

For example, at the 11th Academy Awards, Lu Liangwei of the biographical film "Crippled Hao" lost to Zeng Zhiwei of the small-budget literary film "A Tale of Two Cities"; Wu Zhenyu of the 23rd Academy Awards, "Infernal Affairs 2", lost to Andy Lau of "Big Guy"; at the 26th Academy Awards, Aaron Kwok of "Father and Son" lost to Liu Qingyun of "I Want to Be Famous".

All three were controversial at the time.

Afterwards, some people chose to shell, and some people chose to remain silent.

Of course, this is also the common sentiment of people.

For years.

Lu Liangwei has long since faded out of the film world.

Aaron Kwok was crowned emperor in 2016 with "Treading Blood and Finding Plum".

Wu Zhenyu has only gradually returned to the golden statue in recent years, and the last nomination was "Uncle Against the Current" in 2019.

This time with "Turbid Water Rafting" came back.

Of course, he has always been a good actor.

Whether it is the reputation of the industry or fans, it can be said to be quite strong.

And if you want to talk about his problem.

There are too many supporting plays, strings of plays, and the stage solidification of the performance, which is where he is more deducted, especially for a period of time when he is particularly obsessed with the acting method of twisting the neck, although the personality, but in fact, the perception of the fans is not good, the previous appearance is "Chasing the Tiger and the Dragon" in The Relo, the performance is superficial and exaggerated, and the old attitude is exposed.

Maybe when it comes to solidification, many people find it confusing.

In fact, the simple understanding is that the actor will implant a certain inertia experience, as well as personal habits, almost unchanged into the shaping of many works and characters, this problem, as long as there is enough reading, that is, at a glance. From the perspective of acting, the actor is very worry-free, but it is very fatal for the growth of acting, and some actors will solidify all the way to the end of their creativity and role-building ability, thus ending their acting careers.

But this time in "Turbid Water Drifting", Wu Zhenyu can afford to be eight words.

People are old and unassailable.

Contrast.

If you consider the performance factor alone, there is no doubt that you can look up to Wu Zhenyu's first line.

Lin Jiadong double film shortlisted, although the threat is menacing.

It is indeed commendable, but there are two levels of the problem to be taken into account.

In other words, if "When the Wind Rises Again" and "Wind Forest Volcano" are released as scheduled, then it is difficult to say whether Lin Jiadong was shortlisted, because the two films gathered four actors, Aaron Kwok, Leung Chao-wai, Leung Ka Fai and Liu Qingyun, and all of them are based on the "Hong Kong Film Epic", regardless of the lineup or level, it is really not comparable to ordinary Hong Kong films.

Second, Lin Jiadong's performance is stable, but there is no breakthrough, and the solidification traces of "Wisdom Teeth" are even very obvious, especially compared with Liu Yaser in the same play, it is even more lackluster.

In another movie, "Kill a Dusk", Xie Xian's age is too old, and many things have been weak.

And Liang Zhongheng of "Mama's Magic Boy", the shortlist is considered to be affirmed.

So is it Wu Zhenyu's turn?

As mentioned above.

The results of the awards are actually unpredictable.

Because nomination is the threshold, shortlisting is the subtext of meeting the criteria.

This is the reason why even if you feel unfair and unwilling, you must admit the result, because everyone is a "qualified product".

In terms of probability and possibility, Lin Jiadong, who is two shortlisted and blazing, has been crowned the golden statue of the emperor in 2017 with "The Great Trick of the Tree", and the strength of the performance has been confirmed by many works, if the golden statue wants to recreate a good story of two film emperors within five years in the era of decline, there is no criticism.

And if you give Xie Xian, who is old and strong, realize his dream of a golden statue, it does not seem to be abrupt.

Only Liang Zhongheng's probability is relatively small, one has a shallow resume, and the other does not have outstanding advantages in performance.

So even judging from the acting skills alone, Wu Zhenyu may be able to come out on top among the four.

Still can not be stamped, this year's film emperor will definitely "turn" Wu Zhenyu.

This is the dialectic of "award attribution".

In view of this.

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

Wu Zhenyu's call to seize the Shadow Emperor was undoubtedly extremely high.

But the suspense is still high.

Unpredictable.

This is actually one of the charms of the award.

Otherwise, where is life interesting?
