The annual Magnolia shortlist is back and this year is the 28th.
It is also not very accurate to say "annual", because last year it was suspended for a year due to the epidemic, so this year's shortlisted works were broadcast within the past two years.
There are more works than in previous years, and because of this, the competition is particularly fierce, so that as soon as the list came out, netizens quarreled, and "Magnolia Pearl" and "Magnolia 0 Mention" were on the hot search.
Zhang Songwen did not nominate Magnolia?
The most fierce thing netizens made was the nomination of "Crazy".
Needless to say, this is the most popular drama so far in 2023, and as a result, the Best Director, Best Actor, and Best TV Series awards have been nominated.
But many people feel that it is still not enough, I still remember the grand occasion when "The World" swept the Golden Eagle Awards last year, when Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Actress, and Best TV Series were all nominated, and five were mentioned in four.
Explosive dramas are not only the credit of one or two people, especially the explosive dramas with high ratings and plots that cause everyone to discuss hotly, must be group portrait dramas that are very outstanding for the vast majority of actors, so some netizens are puzzled: the follow-up to "Crazy" is too different from the treatment that this level of explosive dramas should have, the actors actually only mentioned one, obviously the supporting roles also have a lot of outstanding ah!
Old Mo, I want to eat fish!
And the most controversial is the nomination for the best actor, Zhang Yi, who just won the actor at the Huabiao Awards two days ago, was shortlisted for the best actor in Magnolia in a blink of an eye, and this is not his first nomination for Magnolia, in 2017, he has already won the Magnolia Emperor with the role of Chen Jianghe in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky".
Chen Jianghe's acting skills are undoubted, but this time, An Xin in "Crazy" does not convince everyone so much, especially in the contrast of Gao Qiqiang played by Zhang Songwen, you must know that since the broadcast of this drama, the most popular character is Brother Qiang.
As a result, "Zhang Songwen did not nominate Magnolia" quickly appeared on the hot search, and even "boiled" for a while.
Most netizens questioned that Magnolia should obviously watch the acting award, however, in the drama "Crazy", Zhang Songwen's acting skills do not say that Zhang Yi is hanging, but at least it is not worse than Zhang Yi, why is Zhang Yi nominated and Zhang Songwen not? Is it just because Zhang Songwen plays the villain, and the villain "can't be on the table"?
But if this is the reason, the male and female protagonists of "Opponents" Guo Jingfei and Tan Zhuo are both nominated, and the spy couple is not a decent one, right?
There is even Liu Dan, the "Aunt Guo" in "The Beginning", who was also nominated for Best Actress, is such a villain who takes revenge on society more decent than the big brother of the underworld?
Where exactly are the standards?
Therefore, a bunch of scolding magnolias in the hot search are too black.
At first, I was a little unfair for Zhang Songwen, but then I thought about it, maybe Zhang Songwen himself is not willing to be nominated, let alone be pushed to the forefront like this.
Because Gao Qiqiang, as a villain, has really received the sympathy and even favor of too many people, on the one hand, there are acting reasons, on the other hand, there are also reasons for the director and screenwriter to shape the character, but in any case, it is not a good phenomenon, so the Magnolia Award, as one of the three awards of the TV series, for many considerations, wants to reduce the impact, which is understandable.
And for Zhang Songwen, in the current atmosphere of internal entertainment, it may not be a good thing to be too beautiful and pay too much attention, for example, with the sister-in-law's corner of the red out of the circle of Gao Ye, the first two days also because of the comments in the comments and almost overturned, word of mouth is in a precarious state.
Merely......
Zhang Songwen was not nominated, which is understandable, but if you think that the explosive drama must mention the best actor, so you must mention a Zhang translator...
I don't think it's necessary.
It can't be said that Zhang Yi's acting skills are not good, but at least, compared to other works, An Xin in "Crazy" is not so outstanding that it is worthy of being nominated in such a competitive year, in fact, most of them are also running with them in the end.
Who is the "Magnolia Pearl"?
Zhang Songwen is not the only one who makes netizens uneasy.
"The World" was nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Art, Best TV Series, just like sweeping the Golden Eagle last year, and swept Magnolia, and the Best Actress even mentioned Huang Xiaolei and Sarina.
But there are still netizens who think that the best actor should have a place for Xin Baiqing, and it was already a pity that the golden eagle did not have him last time, why didn't Magnolia this time?
But what I want to say more is that there are already too many nominations for "The World", don't say anything else, the best screenplay is really unnecessary, the second half is completely rotten, all kinds of ugly Zhou Rong, all kinds of beautifying rapists, all kinds of blood plots... Is it matched?
In addition to "The World", "The Three-Body Problem" also has five nominations for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art, and Best TV Series, but netizens are still dissatisfied: Actors can't mention one, right?
If nothing else, Chen Jin is almost the Ye Wenjie imagined by all book fans, and the young Ye Wenjie played by Wang Ziwen is also very good, why is there not a single nomination?
I agree with this, I can only say that the competition is too fierce, and the other best actress nominations in the same period are also very strong.
But when I said that Yu Hewei, who played Shi Qiang, should be nominated, I didn't agree, he really, playing any role is the same, but Da Shi definitely shouldn't be like him!
Moreover, I think there is no doubt that this drama won the best art, and the game scenes are better than I expected, but I am really not convinced by the nomination for Best Director and Best Screenplay, the good original book has been adapted into a messy rhythm, and the characters with original drama are simply unable to complain, so large world-class IP broadcast effects can be poor like this, don't reflect on why?
Speaking of which, it is also a pity that Yang Rong did not nominate for Best Actress with "Daughter of the Mountain"...
It's really about it!
In the past, when I said that "my appearance and acting skills are obviously online, but I am an actor who can't become popular", I will also think of Yang Rong, but when I really watch her drama, I will find that the acting skills are really average, and there is really a reason why she is not popular.
Of course, I can't evaluate her objectively now, because the extra reporter she played out of thin air in "The Three-Body Problem" is too much and annoying! (No amount of "too" is enough to express my displeasure!)
There are also people who feel sorry for Haiqing, she seems to have almost fated with Magnolia, the three awards of Feitian and Golden Eagle have all been obtained, but Magnolia, nominated one after another, but not once, this time...
Not even nominations.
But to be honest, the whole drama of "Home of the Heart" is indeed very general, and it can even be said to be terrible, when it was broadcast after "The World", how many people thought it would be another drama king, but they didn't expect it...
The ratings can not be said to be bad, it's just, there is really no point worth remembering, it's over after the broadcast, although Haiqing's acting skills are as stable as ever, but there is no breakthrough in the character character, and with the quality of this drama, it is difficult to win awards even if it is nominated, forget it, or don't mention it, there will be better and more stable works in the future.
"Menghualu" nominated for Best Original Screenplay?
For me, the most outrageous slot of this magnolia is still "Menghualu", nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay (Original), and Best TV Series - the blockbuster drama "Crazy" is only three nominations.
"Menghualu" was originally launched on the Internet, in various marketing and various quarrels, it is considered "black and red", but compared to the "long-tail broadcast" of many popular dramas, the follow-up of this drama is very unsatisfactory, and later starred on Beijing Satellite TV, and the ratings of the street also confirmed that after excluding the influence of online marketing, ordinary audiences did not buy it.
Of course, the explosion cannot be the standard for evaluating whether a drama is good or bad, but such a "Zhenjie Lu", which has both male and female protagonists and is full of strange values such as "clear classes below the self and equality above the self", in any case, is not to the extent that it is worthy of being nominated for the best TV series.
As for Zhang Wei's nomination for Best Original Screenplay, it is even more outrageous, the most dragging thing in the whole drama is the screenwriter, and, put her together with several other screenwriters, don't you feel out of place?
Anyone who has gone to school knows the story of "Zhao Pan'er Fengyue Saves the Wind and Dust", which is obviously based on Guan Hanqing's meta-drama, and as a result, hundreds of years later, the modern person Zhang Wei can actually go to its essence and original dregs to make up such a drama that is boring except for the slots, and also nominated for Best Original...
Why, is it a bully Guan Hanqing can't jump out and beat people?
To be honest, although the fruit in this drama is questioned to be Japanese Japanese sweets rather than Chinese sweets, overall, the only thing worth nominating is art, as a result, this drama has a bunch of awards full of slots, but only the best art, I really want to say, Magnolia, don't be ridiculous!
Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you, so take care of yourself!
