The shortlist of the 28th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award was officially announced.
Such a list of nominees is naturally a few joys and a few sorrows.
But for such a list, although it is already a fight between immortals, it is still difficult to convince the public.
1. First of all, the drama aspect.
Many excellent plays 0 mentions.
The most prominent are "Daughter of the Mountain", "The Bottom Line" and "Black Storm".
From the Douban score alone, "Daughter of the Mountain" is 9.3 points, "The Bottom Line" is 7.3 points, and "Black Storm" is 7.1 points.
Such word-of-mouth scores are not inferior to many of the nominated works.
Among the nominated works, "County Party Committee Compound" 6.7 points, "Life Road" 6.9 points, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" 7.1 points, "Big Examination" 7.2 points.
Among them, the most difficult is "The Daughter of the Mountain".
As the first work in the annual word-of-mouth score, it was not nominated for a single nomination.
On the contrary, the controversial "County Party Committee Compound" had six nominations, and "The Road of Life" was also nominated for Best Chinese TV Series.
It can be said that "Daughter of the Mountain" has killed many nominated TV series, although it is a work of the main theme, it has a high level from the entire plot to the actor's performance, as well as the intrinsic value. In addition, "The Bottom Line" and "Black Storm" are also popular works, although the word-of-mouth score is not too high, but among the works that have been nominated, they are still at the middle and upper level, and the result is that none of them have been nominated, which is hard to believe and speechless.
2. The second is the actor aspect.
Many powerful actors did not receive anything.
"Daughter of the Mountain" has zero mention, and naturally starring Yang Rong is not harvested.
Let's take a look at the list of nominees for Best Actress, including Sun Li in "Ideal City", Tan Zhuo in "Opponent", Wu Yue in "County Party Committee Compound", Yin Tao in "The World", and Zhao Liying in "Half Summer in the Wind".
In the performance of "Daughter of the Mountain", Yang Rong contributed a wonderful performance, both form and spirit, allowing people to substitute into the reality of Huang Wenxiu, which is touching and empathetic. It can be said that Yang Rong is also a big challenge breakthrough. No matter which aspect of it, Yang Rong is fully qualified to be shortlisted.
"Crazy" received three nominations, and in terms of actors, Zhang Yi was nominated for Best Actor. And Zhang Songwen and Gao Ye, who had the highest voice, also gained nothing.
For Zhang Songwen, although the male protagonist may be unlikely, the male partner is completely okay, and Gao Ye is the same.
Although there is controversy because of the identity of the characters, compared with the list of female partners, the characters played by Liu Dan in "The Beginning" are not completely decent.
The actor of "The Three-Body Problem" is also 0 mentions.
Zhang Luyi, Yu Hewei, Chen Jin, Wang Ziwen, the performances of the four actors are also very outstanding, but whether they are male and female protagonists, or male and female matches, there is no harvest.
There is also "The World is Long", the actor is also 0 mentioned, isn't Huang Zhizhong's performance in the play exciting enough?
3、
Whether it is the drama or the actors, there are too many regrets and difficulties.
I can't help but ask, what are the criteria for Magnolia to be shortlisted?
Hu Zhifeng, chairman of the jury of the Magnolia Awards TV drama category, once mentioned the standard of "three refinements and three highs".
"'Three Essences' refers to profound thinking, exquisite art, and excellent production, while 'Three Highs' refers to his personal theoretical research results, which refers to high artistic quality, high market value, and high topicality. That is, while emphasizing the artistry of the work, it is also necessary to emphasize the linkage between the work and the market, in short, 'applauding and applauding' is the indicator of his excellent TV series works. ”
If you look at it according to this standard, there are several shortlisted TV series that are not good, on the contrary, they are still controversial.
As for the actor award, he once said, there are two criteria for the award.
"On the one hand, artistic innovation and progress, on the other hand, due consideration is given to the historical accumulation and comprehensive achievements of artists."
Such criteria are even more vague, if such criteria are used to judge the award, Yang Rong, Zhang Songwen, Yu Hewei, Chen Jin, Wang Ziwen, Huang Zhizhong, etc. are all qualified. On the contrary, the actors in the nomination are doubtful.
The jury of this year's Magnolia Awards is also the most controversial.
There are directors, cinematographers, actors, screenwriters, critics and scholars, seemingly rich and complete, but not authoritative, especially actor Wang Luodan.
Wang Luodan, who became popular in her early years by "Struggle" and "My Youth Who Rules", was the goddess of the Golden Eagle, won the 16th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award for the most appealing actress, and was nominated for the Best Actress of the 17th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award with "Dulara Promotion".
The first two are popularity awards, and the latter are only nominations.
That is, there is no substantial gain on the three major TV awards, not to mention the crotch-pulling performance in recent years, the acting skills have not improved, and the reputation of the work has declined, is such qualifications qualified to be a judge?
Looking at the other judges, there are not many who have a reputation in the entire industry.
In particular, the chairman of this jury is a scholar, although he is a leader in the "academic field", but it is still very different from the past. Looking back at the past chairmen of the jury, there are Liu Jin, Zheng Xiaolong, Gao Xixi, Liu Heping, Mao Weining, Zhang Guoli, Yan Jiangang, etc.
Although it has its own "three refinements and three highs" standard, it is still quite controversial in the specific award process.
Previously, when the media asked "whether the traditional villain played by Zhang Songwen has a chance to compete for Best Actor", he said, "I want to congratulate Zhang Songwen for creating this very unique villain character image on the Chinese TV drama screen, and also produced the effect of breaking the circle and breaking the blockbuster, which is also a very important phenomenon in the field of TV series creation." ”
But as a result, there was still no harvest.
Although Magnolia is famous for the "Expert Award", today's "expert panel" is obviously insufficient, and subjectivity and one-sidedness exist. In addition, this session is another two years of selection, and the addition of online dramas has greatly increased the difficulty, and in the end, such a nomination list is naturally difficult to convince.
However, congratulations to the nominated plays, actors, directors, screenwriters, and who will end up with, stay tuned! Of course, I also hope that the Magnolia Award can really improve my "professionalism" and make this award more convincing!
