The 28th Magnolia Awards announced the shortlist: Guo Jingfei, Hu Ge, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi, Zhu Yilong competed for Best Actor; Sun Li, Tan Zhuo, Wu Yue, Yin Tao, Zhao Liying compete for Best Actress!
The finalists for Best Supporting Actor are Ding Yongdai, Ning Li, Wang Jingchun, Wang Xiao, Wang Yang, and the shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress are Huang Xiaolei, Liu Dan, Ren Suxi, Sarina, Yan Bingyan.
"Beyond", "Armageddon", "Big Exam", "Opponent", "The Wind Blows in Half Summer", "The Wind Rises Longxi", "Meritorious Service", "Police Honor", "The Beginning", "Crazy", "Ideals Shine on China", "Ideal City", "Menghualu", "Children of the Qiao Family", "The Road of Life", "The World", "The Three-Body Problem", "The Long River of the World", "Our Decade", "I am Very Good in Another Country", "County Party Committee Compound" and "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" were shortlisted for Best Chinese TV Series.
I have seen these shortlisted TV series, they are all relatively excellent TV series, of course, it is impossible to be shortlisted if they are not excellent.
My personal favorites include "Police Honor", "Crazy", "The World", "The Three-Body Problem", "The Long River of the World" and "The Great Examination".
Among them, "The World" and "Crazy" belong to phenomenal hit dramas + word-of-mouth dramas, reaching the most popular TV series level in the past ten years.
Therefore, it is natural for the protagonists and supporting roles in these two dramas to be nominated for Best Actor and Actor and Best Supporting Actor and Actress.
Guo Jingfei performed well in "Opponent" and his acting skills were outstanding, but "Opponent" belongs to a relatively niche drama, no big fire, and the length is short, so I estimate that Guo Jingfei will not win the award.
Although Hu Ge's performance in "County Party Committee Compound" has made a breakthrough compared to his past roles, he was crushed by the bones of the drama in the play, and his acting skills can only be regarded as decent at most, and "County Party Committee Compound" did not satisfy the general audience in terms of the grounding of the plot, so I speculate that Hu Ge will not win the award in the end.
Zhu Yilong's performance in the spy war drama "Rebel" was acceptable, but at that time, he still had a lot of room for improvement in his acting skills, and I personally feel that his acting skills in the play have not reached the point of perfection, so I am not optimistic that he can win the award.
In the end, only Lei Jiayin and Zhang Yi were left, competing for the best actor in Magnolia.
As soon as the shortlist came out, I believe that the first thing that surprised everyone was that because of the role of "Gao Qiqiang" in "Crazy", the actor Zhang Songwen, who was loved and praised by everyone, was not nominated.
On the contrary, everyone is not very optimistic, and Zhang Yi, who thinks that there is no breakthrough in acting skills, was shortlisted for Best Actor.
In fact, this is not surprising, because the male number one of "Crazy" is Zhang Yi and not Zhang Songwen. Although Zhang Songwen's acting skills are particularly outstanding, when it comes to how many scenes there are, it is naturally Zhang Yiduo.
Although, I always thought that "Crazy" is actually a double male protagonist.
However, Mr. Zhang Songwen at least deserves a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. But it didn't.
Wang Xiao, the role in "County Party Committee Compound" is not heavy, can be nominated for Best Supporting Actor, why was Zhang Songwen not nominated?
Although I also like Wang Xiao very much. But in terms of the importance and brilliance of the role, I think Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy" is far better than Qiao Shengli played by Wang Xiao in "County Party Committee Compound".
The final winner of Best Actor, I personally tend to choose Lei Jiayin.
Lei Jiayin, who played the role of Zhou Bingkun in "The World", he and Zhou Bingkun have been integrated, not at all like a performance, as if he is "Kun'er" himself.
And Zhang Yi's acting skills in "Crazy" are not particularly outstanding, and they have been complained by many audiences that they are too slippery, do not have the majesty of the police, their acting skills are facetious, and their accents are dramatic.
So, the candidate for Best Actor, I tend to Lei Jiayin.
Best Actress, I personally think that the last winner of the award is likely to be Zhao Liying.
Listen to me analyze the reasons.
"Ideal City" starring Sun Li, the plot of the whole drama is not too ideal, and the reputation is not too good, and Sun Li's appearance and acting skills in the play have also been criticized by many people. Therefore, Sun Li is unlikely to win the award.
Tan Zhuo performed very well in "Rivals", but as I said above, "Opponents" is a niche online drama with limited influence.
Wu Yue's performance in "County Party Committee Compound" is eye-catching, but it is limited to comparing with Hu Ge, Huang Lei and others in the play, on the whole, Wu Yue's performance is good, but in terms of character shaping in this play, it is not up to the level of ideal acting skills.
I am more optimistic about Yin Tao and Zhao Liying.
Yin Tao is better in "The World", but I think the most outstanding thing in this drama is not Yin Tao, nor Sarina, but Lei Jiayin and Ding Yongdai who plays his father, Xin Baiqing who plays his brother Zhou Bingyi, and Zhou Bingkun's good brothers.
Although many people complained about Zhao Liying's acting skills in "Half Summer Blowing in the Wind", they felt that she was too hard, and her temperament did not look like a wild strong woman of that era. And the drama "Wind Blows Half Summer", compared with the original novel, also has a lot of fashionable and inspirational elements, which weakens the sense of reality that should be.
But there is one thing to say, "The Wind Blows Half Summer" reflects the changes in the steel business of an era through the wild growth history of Xu Banxia played by Zhao Liying, which belongs to the type of business war and inspirational period drama with small views, and Zhao Liying is also an overweight "big heroine" type in the play, which is an inspirational contemporary female image, which may be more favored by the judges.
So I think Zhao Liying is the most likely to win the Best Actress Award.
Best Supporting Actor, I am most optimistic about Teacher Wang Jingchun. Of course, Ding Yongdai, Ning Li, Wang Xiao, and Wang Yang are also very good at acting, but Wang Jingchun's acting skills in "Police Honor" are too good, pure and natural, and there is no trace of performance at all.
In fact, although the male number one of "Police Honor" is marked as Zhang Ruoyun, whether it is the importance of the role, as well as the scene, as well as the acting skills and expression, Wang Jingchun completely crushes Zhang Ruoyun, I think Wang Jingchun is the proper male number one in "Police Honor".
When chasing "Police Honor", I was completely attracted to Wang Jingchun's role, and the reason why I was addicted to and loved this drama was largely because of Wang Jingchun's character charm.
Therefore, I firmly support Mr. Wang Jingchun for Best Supporting Actor. In fact, he deserves a best actor.
Best Supporting Actress, I think Huang Xiaolei and Yan Bingyan have a greater chance of winning.
Of course, the above is just my personal speculation, readers have different views and the best candidate in their minds, you may wish to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
No matter who wins the award, in fact, these nominees are good actors and have dedicated wonderful roles to everyone. The gold cup and silver cup are not as good as word of mouth, what everyone likes, is the best!
